Tang Shaoyang fell silent after hearing what Arion said. He proceeded with the new information in his head. The Nebula Alliance’s involvement surprised him. It was an Alliance where Ira came from. The same person who told him about the bounty in his head.
After what happened in this Trial of God, he could not fully trust anyone anymore. Oby, who he thought was a good guy, stabbed him in the back. This Arion might be the same. But again, it was not like he had other choices.
“So what’s the deal?”
“Hohoho… It seems like you have gone through a lot. I sense hesitation from you. It hurts my feelings, but I understand where your hesitation is coming from.”
Arion noticed the hesitation with how long Tang Shaoyang took to answer. But he was not offended by it.
“Alright, here’s the deal. They have an eye on you. Those participants have the map of this battleground and also a vision of you because those Administrators exploit their authority to help the Nirvana Alliance. I will cut off their connection so they can’t use the same exploit. It’s not much, but it will be a fair fight between you and them.”
Tang Shaoyang correctly guessed that they had a vision of him. It was something he believed so from the start. Now he figured out how they had the vision on him, and he could not cut off the vision unless he received external help. Arion was his choice.
“What do you want in exchange?” It was a deal. That meant Arion expected something from him. Arion might ask him to help with his experiment, and he did not mind that.
“What I want is information. How do you manage to tame the calamity? I want calamity because it might help me with my creation. It’s an equal exchange, right?”
The previous experiment was related to the Void Creature. Tang Shaoyang understood why Arion was interested in the calamity. But there was something suspicious, how Arion found out about the calamity.
He did not think that the people who had an eye for Ophelius and Ophelia would divulge the information about them. They wanted to keep it secret so no one could know there was someone who managed to tame a calamity.
“I told you. I did some digging after noticing the Nirvana Alliance’s big movement. That was how I found out about your calamity. The God Alliance did not just want you dead, but also wanted your pets.”
“I don’t mind telling you how to get them, but I don’t think it’s an equal deal. The reason I want your help is that I don’t want to lose my spirits. But the deal you offer does not offer that assurance, at all. And I have still to fight them myself with just minus that they no longer have assistance from outside. That’s never a good deal to me. I think I can get something better for the first method to tame a calamity.”
Tang Shaoyang did not accept the deal even though he really needed assistance to fight hundreds of God Ranks. If what Arion said was the truth, he would not die here. There was no reason for him to accept the deal after knowing The Nebula Alliance’s scheme.
Dying was the last thing he was afraid of because he still had another five lives. He was confident in defeating them with three lives if the worst came true and he lost all his spirits. The probability of him dying here was small, but what he cared about was the spirits. Losing them would be a big loss for him.
He would need another similar trial as the first stage trial. The only way for him to get stronger was to get more strong spirits. Maybe he would find one or two classes that would help him, but spirit army would be his strongest card.
“Now you put it that way. It is indeed an unfavorable deal for you. Hmmm… Let me see what I can do for you.”
Arion fell silent for quite some time. It seemed like he really did look for something to assist Tang Shaoyang.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was having a discussion with his spirits in his head. He did not say it out so Arion would not hear him. His discussion might worsen their relationship. Because of what happened with the Nebula Alliance and Oby, he could not bring himself to trust Arion like before.
He did not know what Arion planned behind him. This might be his biggest drive to get stronger until today. He wanted to crush any scheme with just his strength. He wanted to be strong enough that no scheme worked on him. That was one way to counter any devious scheme behind him.
The conclusion after having a discussion with his spirit was that he could trust Arion, but did not blindly trust Arion. Always questioned Arion’s information and planned for the worst. It could be said that his trust in Arion was seventy percent. He should not forget that there was thirty percent that Arion would stab him in the back at any moment.
That was what Vandir told him because what Arion had done so far was helping him. It would be foolish not to trust someone who helped him a few times just because of Oby and Nebula. But always prepared for the worst.
Arion returned after eight minutes of silence. He was not aware of the discussion that happened in Tang Shaoyang’s head.
“I have a few things for you, but before that. I have a question for you. Do you perhaps have an Absolute Domain? It’s a skill you get for combining more than five different domains. The skills will undergo a fusion once you reach a God Rank, so do you have Absolute Domain?”
“It’s one of the rarest skills. You can only get the skill if you have more than five domains before you reach God Rank. Try to manually fusion the domain, no one can make it happen. That’s why Absolute Domain is one of the rarest skills in the world. And I think you will have one because of the nature of your class.”
