Chapter 363: SSS+ Gift
[Congratulations, Host Villain: Lucifer~ King of Hell (Rank: SSS++) has gifted you an Authority.
[Authority Rank: SSS+ ~ Decree of the Dead]
“Hah?”
The sound escaped Razeal before he even realized he had reacted as seeing the system notification hovered calmly in front of him
He blinked
An Authority? Not a skill.. He honestly doesn’t know what an author is? But.. Whatever it is.. It gotta be good right.. He looked at the rank
An Authority.. Ranked SSS+.
Razeal stared at the message, his mind lagging half a step behind reality.
This… was also unexpected for gim.
Afterall he had already prepared himself for bargaining. For negotiation. For the usual back and forth that came with dealing with villains.. Not that he even paid in returned.. Except those certin dirty books.. But still he had assumed there would be a price something he would have to offer, some concession he would be forced to make.
After all, these were villains.
They never gave anything for free.. Literally maybe for pride and ego but he was sure that wouldn’t have worked in this chat since so many big ego persons here at same time. They would just fuck around and not let each other do anything.
Yet here he was noa holding an authority of absurd rank? Whatver authority is.. But still gifted to him without a single demand attached.
“That’s… surprising,” he murmered slowly.
A fucking SSS+ Authority.
He didn’t even know what it did yet, but there was no doubt in his mind whatever Decree of the Dead was, it wasn’t something trivial. An thing at that level could not be anything short of monstrous? Right? Right? Well he hope so atleast.
His gaze shifted unconsciously back to the chat panel, rereading Lucifer’s earlier message.
So that’s it.
Lucifer’s intention was obvious now.
Currying favor.
Aligning himself early.
Razeal’s lips twitched faintly.
Whats this old devil up to?
Lucifer was definitely not some generous benefactor. He was the King of Hell, the embodiment of pride, deception, and manipulation atleast how he was told to be in books Razeal had read back in his original qorld? A being like that shouldn’t act without reason right? More like calculated or filled with intentions that Razeal cant see yet.. or maybe just babby steps to try to manuplate him.
Still, whatever Lucifer’s plans were, Razeal wasn’t interested in unraveling them right now.
power was power.. He doesn’t beleive Razeal could do any shit to him while being inside system? While also not even able to interfere with even an ant in this world. So Razeal wasn’t really worried about whatever he was up to.
And refusing an gift of this rank would be nothing short of idiotic.
So he accepted it without hesitation.
Razeal: Alright.. It would be my honor to be friends with the King of Hell, he added deliberately, his tone respectful but controlled. I appreciate this consideration.
Razeal thought calmly, the faintest smile forming at the corner of his lips.. As he sent messages in chat.
Razeal: We’re friends now
Yeah.. He felt no shame about saying it after all, he was making this friendship for advantage. He even used the honorifics? Obiously deliberate maybe an attempt to stroke Lucifer’s ego the right way. Razeal knew all too well how prideful this dude’s nature was
.
Lucifer: Haha no need, no need. The honor is all mine. After all a being such as you… to be able to keep and hold existences like us bound within yourself? And that woman… that lady whose power is so unfathomable that even I cant even comprehend it.. yet she remains restrained. Governed. Subject to your authority too? If i am right? Afterall she wasn’t able to chase me down when i retreated?”
Razeal eyes Twinkled.. Finally.. It seems like these Villains finally seems to understand the gravity of means he is currently able to do.. Even if they missunderstood things? Anyways he’s not going to clear that missundetanding out.. Afterall it will be working well in his favour.
Lucifer: To bind beings like us and treat us as mere pawns on a board… these are not ordinary means. I cannot help but desire a good relationship with someone like you. This small gift is nothing compared to what a being of your caliber will achieve in the future. I await that day when we both will…
Razeal kept reading Lucifers long paragraph of message which he still didn’t read fully.. Though he got the gist of it
Still he didn’t say anything out of that.. he just chuckled.
Razeal: Haha. I see where this is going.
Lucifer: Haha. I like intelligent people.
Razeal’s smile deepened, though it never reached his eyes.
Razeal I’ll remember this generosity.. I do like big-hearted friends as well.
Lucifer seemed pleased.
Lucifer: Whenever you wish.. From tday onwards we friends.. my beloved friend Call upon me at any time. Even if it’s to declare war on the Heavens themselves I, Lucifer, will never back down.
Lucifer: I always keep my word.. From this day forward, as King of Hell, your business is my business. Simply name who troubles you, and I will…
Razeal lips twitched.. Already friends? this Bastard.. And already showing his intentions to come out? Like does he thinks he’s that dumb to take him out? Still he didn’t say anything nor does he wanted to keep going in conversation as he interrupted calmly
Razeal: Don’t worry everything is going well for now. But I’ll keep it in mind.
Razeal said, obviously, he still has to milk the guy. If he doesn’t play along with Lucifer, he’s sure he won’t get much. But he knows.. lucifer knows that Razeal knows. Still, until Lucifer comes out straight, Razeal will keep playing along with him.
And lucifer did.
Lucifer: Yes, yes… my friend.”
Razeal stared at the chat panel, his lips twitching despite himself.
The shamelessness was almost impressive.
The King of Hell my ass.. The guy whose supposed to be aloof untouchable and all now openly currying favor, practically offering himself on a silver platter. It reminded Razeal of a certain white-haired, white-eyed lunatic who also loved calling him best friend too while scheming ten steps ahead..
Degenerated Bastard:Doist Xue, are you seeing what I’m seeing? Since when did this guy Lucifer turn into this? Didn’t he act all high and mighty before? What changed so suddenly? This guy suddenly feels so shady.. Did he lick something wrong?”
Ancestor Xue: Professional ass-licker. He just changed targets. He’s just using his ass licking skills to lick this kids ass now.. Though for reasons I’m not certain of yet. But a Scary talent indeed.
Lily: “…”
Ancestor Xue: My eyes have finally opened… I see it clearly now. Not only is this guy a feet-licker, he’s an ass-licker too.
Ancestor Xue: And not to say we only come to known him for just these few days.. Who knows what other strange things he’s been licking behind the scenes? Honestly, Lucifer is terrifying in a completely different way. I advise all fellow Daoists to keep their distance. Or..”
The Greatest Collector:Ghasp~ Professional Ass-licker?? Myyy godddd… What terrifying thing to say.
Zenocide:Daoist Xue’s sense of humor and… way of wording things is quite.. Umm how should I put it.. interesting?
Lucifer: “YOU! You… you… YOU!”
The chat already went back to usual as descending into absolute nonsense it always is into.. Ancestor xue coming to rule once again. He had already achieved his whole dominance over whole stream chat.
Razeal glanced at it once, already knowing exactly how this would spiral if he paid even a fraction more attention. So he did what he always did.
He ignored it.
Without another word, without reacting to Lucifer’s outrage or the others’ mockery, his attention shifted inward. His focus settled on the newly acquired gift.
And just as he thought the system interface unfolded before his eyes.
