Chapter 482

【Looking around, the dancer shook her head slightly.】

【She used her hand to fan away the dust and smoke that was drifting toward her with an expression of disgust.】

【The dancer looked directly at Black Natsu and spoke slowly: "So... shall we talk? Little brother."】

【"What do you want to talk about?" Black Natsu asked.】

【"Hmm... a deal, a... deal I just thought of on the spot."】

【The dancer smiled, her beautiful eyes, as seductive as a fox's, staring straight at Black Natsu, her tongue involuntarily licking the corner of her mouth.】

【"Rest assured, this matter is very beneficial to you as well. I can even say that if you don't listen, you will regret it."】

【"Natsu..." Erza stood up.】

【"I just feel... this guy cannot be trusted."】

【"After all, the other party is a god; they might have some methods that we cannot understand, so it is best to be cautious..."】

【Erza's words also drew agreement from Mirajane and Seilah.】

【The group's gazes remained fixed on Black Natsu, waiting for his decision.】

【The gazes of Black Natsu and the dancer met in mid-air.】

【After a long moment, he nodded: "I can listen to this so-called deal of yours!"】

【The dancer smiled: "A smart choice."】

【As she spoke, she looked at Erza and the others: "As for your worries, you can put your hearts at ease. There is only a deal where there is a need."】

【"Believe me, this matter involves a relationship of mutual need for both sides."】

【Saying this, she turned around: "Follow me."】

【...】

【The group followed the dancer, walking together toward the depths of this area.】

【Along the way, one could even see countless stone statues with ferocious expressions standing around the path.】

【Watching everything around them, Seilah could not help but frown.】

【"Surprised?"】

【The dancer's voice came from ahead.】

【Seilah nodded slightly: "I never imagined that a god's residence would be entirely filled with demons!"】

【"I also cannot imagine that a god... would have no sense of divinity at all..."】

【"A sense of divinity?" The dancer let out a snort of laughter.】

【"Little girl, have you been reading some fantasy novels and filling your head with made-up settings?"】

【The dancer, walking at the very front, turned her head.】

【Her smiling face stared at Seilah: "Just like you demons, aren't there good ones and bad ones, beautiful ones and ugly ones?"】

【She pointed at Black Natsu and Erza: "There are smart ones."】

【She then pointed at the petrified demons by the roadside: "And there are those that possess no intelligence at all."】

【"So, why would you think that just because someone is a god, they must possess a sense of divinity?"】

【For a moment, Seilah could not find any words to refute this.】

【"Gods, to put it plainly, are also just one type of living being. Gods have their own emotions and their own personalities; this is not strange."】

【"As for a sense of divinity... there is one bitch who looks quite divine, but the things she does are more despicable than anyone else's."】

【Seeming to have mentioned some disgusting existence, the dancer's face was filled with disdain.】

【"As for these little guys, to me, they are like livestock kept in captivity. I need energy to maintain the continuation of my consciousness."】

【"Therefore, I need to lure them here. To explain it in human terms... you can understand it as hunting."】

【"So, these magical beasts or demons are your prey?" Erza spoke up.】

【"Strictly speaking, they are creatures with low intelligence; otherwise, the situation you just encountered would happen, where you could resist the illusion of the Scarlet Blood Moon."】

【The dancer explained: "Of course, that is only because my current ability can only reach this point. If I were in my prime, let alone highly intelligent creatures..."】

【"Even a god, I could make them fall into an illusion. So, don't underestimate me because of this, okay?"】

【"Alright, we've arrived, the true Moon Temple!"】

【As the dancer's voice fell, the magnificent building towering into the clouds could already be seen ahead of the group.】

【"You are the first batch of guests to visit in so many years."】

【"Follow me."】
