Chapter 452: Contract and Intuition (Seeking Subscriptions)

~7 min read 1,288 words

"Great God's Child..."

Jupiter III bowed and explained the recent tensions in detail, concluding, "For the glorious victory of our great Lord, please bear with it for a while..."

"Are you... Arthur IX? I remember the scent of your father..."

The "Son of Dawn" seemed to have just recalled Arthur IX's identity and smiled apologetically, his eyes as clear as those of an innocent child: "You have chosen a good time; what do you want me to do?"

Curiosity filled his eyes, as if he were a child preparing to play house.

Yes, perhaps in the eyes of this Mythical Creature, the painstaking maneuvering of mortals was nothing more than a slightly interesting little game.

Arthur IX took a deep breath: "Great God's Child, our Sodom clan wishes to sign a Contract with you... please, please do not harm us!"

After chanting the honorific name of the "Keeper of Secrets," Sophia's expression immediately became urgent: "Father Emperor..."

Watching this scene, the expressions of Arthur IX and Sophia remained unchanged, and even their heart rates did not fluctuate.

Although family affection was thin within the imperial family, that was, after all, her own sister and Arthur IX's own daughter!

"Yes!"

"Could that also be a God's Child?" Jupiter III speculated: "A Child of the Evil God? Although we have been working hard to monitor the Mortal World, there is a possibility, however small, that a Hidden Existence has broken through our blockade and allowed a Child of the Evil God to descend into the Mortal World!"

"It seems... you have found a Contract with powerful constraints?"

Previously, it was merely asking for an exorbitant price; this was the bottom line he had speculated for the "Son of Dawn" in his heart.

A look of confusion appeared on the face of the "Son of Dawn" for the first time: "The other party is very similar to me..."

"Hmm, some people are the more hungry they are, the more they suppress themselves... just to feel the ultimate pleasure that binge eating will bring later!"

Arthur IX's face was gloomy: "That monster has exactly this intention... I can feel His Greed!"

The "Son of Dawn" smiled and suddenly took out a Pound coin, tossing it into mid-air.

But anything that could make the "Son of Dawn" respond so solemnly must be extraordinary!

"That is a very subtle feeling."

At this moment, Arthur IX felt a strong threat to his life; even with the foundation of the imperial family—the Unknown-grade Strange Object "Mitra Palace Bell"—it seemed it could not protect him in the slightest.

They actually had no room for choice!

"Feathered Serpent?"

Princess Sophia suddenly shuddered all over.

They had long known that the "Son of Dawn" possessed this kind of divination ability; they were simply gambling!

A figure wearing white-gold robes and a Sun Golden Crown appeared silently once again.

A hint of a smile appeared on the "Son of Dawn's" face, which was so handsome that even women would be jealous: "Using omnipresent danger to interfere with my senses... hiding the true danger, this is also the enemy's goal!"

In this way, even if they failed, they would not receive too much blame.

"So... the plan remains the same?" Sophia murmured: "One direct descendant every year?"

"I understand. During this period, the Church can temporarily command the Empire's high-level 'Alchemists', well, except for those directly under the imperial family, after all, I must keep people to protect our Sodom."

Arthur IX then walked out of the palace with Jupiter III.

"It should have been a success."

"I look forward to it!"

Jupiter III asked in a grave tone.

The "Son of Dawn" replied slowly.

Jupiter III had not paid much attention to the other party before, as the other party had only revealed the combat power of the peak of the Sixth Primordial Substance.

The melodious sound of the zither played continuously.

Gambling that the Secret-keeping Authority of the "Keeper of Secrets" was powerful enough!

"No, no, not a Child of the Evil God, but the same radiance as me... no... rather than saying he is like me, it is better to say... he is very much like my father!"

A beautiful smile appeared on his face as he added: "Only a verbal agreement, this is my bottom line!"

Arthur IX was already silently chanting the honorific name of the "Spirit of Falsehood" in his heart, and after a long silence, he said: "Deal! I will send you an Offering that will satisfy you shortly."

"Lord God's Child, I am still somewhat confused about the future development of the Mortal World..."

Arthur IX's voice was cold: "Send her away tonight!"

He could not see the future, so naturally, he had to find the strongest Divination Master in the Mortal World.

Snap!

The coin landed, and the "Son of Dawn" glanced at the result, his face unreadable: "One collateral descendant per month, one direct descendant per year; apart from this, I will not harm any of you. This Contract can be maintained for at most ten years..."

"No!"

Still inside that magnificent palace.

However, this was also within expectations.

The "Son of Dawn" smiled: "Besides that... I feel that a huge danger has arrived, it is everywhere!"

The "Son of Dawn" shook his finger.

Every path has its own specialized divination method; what the "Yao" is best at is intuitive divination!

The sound of the piano keys stopped.

Arthur IX sighed: "One collateral descendant per month, you cannot harm our direct descendants, to be confirmed in the form of a written Contract."

It was Pope Jupiter III!

"Ten years is enough for the Divine War to reach a conclusion." Sophia clearly understood the meaning of this timeframe.

Arthur IX replied.

"Then, I shall take my leave." Having obtained a satisfactory result, Jupiter III bowed and left Mitra Palace.

The "Son of Dawn" continued to play the piano.

Jupiter III asked directly.

In any case, he had already done what Aaron wanted him to do; Sodom had never intended to intervene in the coming battle.

But at this moment, she agreed without the slightest resistance, just like the Sodoms who had been sent into the tiger's den over the past several hundred years.

"Then what is the intuition of Lord God's Child?"

Inside the secret chamber.

"The future in my eyes is also a fog... This must be the masterpiece of the 'Keeper of Secrets'!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor!" Jupiter III spoke first.

The "Son of Dawn" closed his eyes, then immediately opened them: "That wanted criminal who destroyed many of our White Towers!"

Arthur IX sighed: "What a pity... If that monster had truly agreed to my conditions and set no time limit, it would not have been impossible for us in Sodom to continue cooperating with the Sun Church to maintain the Glory of the Empire."

"Everywhere?" Jupiter III's face showed shock; this was an invincible "Immortal" in the current world!

How terrifying must a danger be to make even Him feel it?

"In the Mortal World, the things that can affect me are nothing more than those few... such as God Descent, such as 'Unknown-grade' Strange Objects, such as the power of super-large-scale Rituals..."

"Your sister should make a contribution to the family."

"The father of the God's Child?"

Jupiter III felt a chill run down his spine in an instant: "The Evil God himself? No, an Evil God vessel? Regardless... this must be the most unstable factor in the Mortal World... Now that the royal family has compromised, I will immediately issue an order for the Inquisition and the Suppression Bureau to search for the whereabouts of the 'Feathered Serpent' with all their might!"
