Chapter 448: Core of the Plot (3400+ words)

"Your attitude has already explained everything."

Aaron nodded, understanding that there must be some hidden story behind the relationship between the "Son of Dawn" and the Sodom Royal Family.

"If you must know, then I will tell you... My Imperial Father has decided to kill that monster, because He always stands on the side of the Church... even though He was born relying on our Sodom bloodline," Princess Sophia sneered.

"A struggle between royal power and divine power?" Aaron knew his guess was correct.

He thought of the parading crowds and Cuisi's encounter, and couldn't help but ask: "Why... haven't you shared the benefits with the citizens?"

"The Royal Family are not fools; we certainly see the contradictions, we see the situation at the bottom being like a powder keg... but we are powerless," Sophia sighed: "My Imperial Father appears to hold supreme power, yet he cannot even trust the commander of the Imperial Guard... let alone the Church!"

"The Church?" Aaron was surprised.

"Once the other party substantially violates the agreement, leave everything to me. I will personally take action and kill the 'Son of Dawn'!"

"Very well, this Contract has been notarized; the violator will suffer the punishment of Fate," Aaron announced in a solemn voice, having notarized the verbal contract with the "Law of Accident."

"Then... next, tell me about your plan."

It had originally been anger at the other party's arrogance, and curiosity about how one could gain nothing even after personally attacking the "Son of Dawn."

To plot against a "Worldly Immortal" who excels at divination, the "Keeper of Secrets'" Secret-keeping Authority is also indispensable!

"Alright... but we must first sign a contract. Are you willing to oppose the 'Son of Dawn' with me, and never betray me until we finally kill Him?"

He felt some understanding and pity for the Sodom Royal Family.

"The Church wants more power. They secretly allow great nobles and merchants to madly oppress workers and farmers, while superficially supporting workers in fighting for their own rights, funding and inciting them to riot... and then using the parades that break out everywhere to demonstrate against my Imperial Father!" Sophia explained.

That Aaron could awaken the "Law of Accident" at the "Perfecter" stage was entirely due to the special status of the "Spirit of Falsehood."

Aaron thought for a moment and gave his answer.

Princess Sophia stared at Aaron: "If I find it unfeasible, then we must call it off immediately; we only have one chance!"

"The madness of a Mythical Creature is even more severe than those Crowns... or rather, They are natural cold-blooded, indifferent beings... That freak was born with the blood of Sodom, yet became obsessed with the taste of our bloodline... He likes to torture and devour us; listening to the wails of Sodom is, to Him, a wonderful lullaby."

"I am willing!" Princess Sophia saw something and replied with a solemn face.

Just as human males would not understand how beautiful a nanny goat is, they would only think goat meat is very delicious...

Although "Dawn" bestowed His offspring and made Sodom the Royal Family, He also demanded a sufficiently bloody reward!

Regarding this explanation, Aaron only believed half of it.

However, Princess Sophia also revealed a lot of news, making Aaron feel fortunate for his previous caution.

Perhaps... a miracle could really be created?

She couldn't help but ask full of anticipation: "If you take action, how much certainty do you have?"

'That is the "Law of Accident"!'

The other party knew the details of a "Perfecter" clearly, while he himself did not know the other party's high-level abilities.

After making up his mind to kill a "Worldly Immortal," who was also highly suspected to be a high-level being of his own pathway, Aaron had been considering what means to use.

Natural Mythical Creatures are simply two different species from humans.

"No, there are too many eyes of the Church around my Imperial Father, and even more, that monster's intuitive divination... and there is an 'Unknown-grade' Strange Object sealing the Mitra Palace, so even means like entering dreams or illusions cannot sneak in..." Sophia shook her head: "I am my Imperial Father's representative; I can sign all agreements on his behalf. If there are conditions I cannot agree to, then my Imperial Father cannot agree to them either!"

"A contract?" Sophia blinked.

Aaron asked very seriously.

However, he knew the Church was competing with the Royal Family for power, and this should be true.

"So you are the 'Feathered Serpent'!" Sophia clearly had some understanding of that wanted criminal of the Empire.

After all, to be able to commit such an act, at the very least one should be a leader among the Sixth Primordial Substance.

"Not quite... but you might be familiar with my other identity—'Feathered Serpent'!" Aaron replied with a smile.

Princess Sophia's voice was cold, as if devoid of any emotion: "He lives in the Mitra Palace and requires Sodom as an Offering every period of time. Historically, there have even been three Emperors eaten by Him, because the purer the bloodline, the closer to Yase Wang, the more it attracts His obsession... Soon, it will be my turn."

Even the Fate-ruler would not dare to say they can control Fate.

Sophia was clearly startled and unconsciously used an honorific: "You... are you an 'Immortal'?"

"Alright, let us return to that monster... why do you call Him a monster?"

Playing this game in front of a high-level Divination Master, if not for the "Keeper of Secrets" supporting from behind, it would be unthinkable.

"I know."

And this Princess Sophia had already converted to the "Keeper of Secrets," so her status as an ally could barely be trusted.

Aaron felt a little creeped out: "Alright... I believe in your determination to kill the other party. Then, can you let me meet His Majesty the Emperor? Let us discuss how to deal with that monster..."

Aaron asked curiously.

"This is enough."

Aaron fell into deep thought.

At this moment, it had turned into a little bit of confidence.

"That is the nightmare of our Sodom!" Sophia's body was actually trembling slightly: "Do you really understand Mythical Creatures?"

"This is truly..."

The "Son of Dawn" is only a God-descendant of the Ruling Year; the "Law" He awakened surely cannot involve Fate!

This is Aaron's core plan!

Aaron let out a long breath: "My plan is very simple, and it requires very little help from you... as long as you can make the 'Son of Dawn' sign a contract notarized by me, even a verbal one will do, and then make the other party violate it!"

For a Low-Origin Extraordinary, the most terrifying thing is a high-level existence of the same pathway!

'To succeed in one strike, I need to rely on something I have that the "Son of Dawn" does not...'

"It can also be an agreement that requires the other party to promise personally, and it must not arouse the other party's suspicion..." Aaron sighed.

"If you can really make the 'Son of Dawn' sign a contract I have notarized and then violate it, then about seventy or eighty percent."

"..." Aaron was speechless.

Sophia made up her mind: "Our Royal Family will fully support you!"

"Hmm, so the key is still how to make the 'Son of Dawn' sign a contract that looks normal, but will inevitably be breached later." A smile appeared at the corner of Aaron's mouth.
