Chapter 1122: Negotiation

Trier Diocese, inside an ancient castle.

The "Red Angel" Medici sat on a throne pieced together from iron-black weapons, looked at the hall that was splashed with dark red blood, and lifted his right foot, placing it on his left knee.

In front of his eyes, the figure of Lu Mian with three heads was rapidly outlined.

Lu Mian, wearing a white shirt, black vest, and dark trousers, looked at the "Red Angel" Medici and said in a teasing tone:

"I thought you would hide first and confirm that I didn't bring any helpers before meeting me."

While speaking, purple flames ignited behind Lu Mian, and they quickly solidified, turning into a huge, iron-black chair stained with some blood.

"Why aren't you worried that there are deadly traps here?" The "Red Angel" Medici shook his right foot and asked back with a sneer.

Lu Mian sat down, leaned back against the chair, and answered indifferently:

"I'm looking forward to your deadly traps; this might be a good thing."

The "Red Angel" Medici, with his long blood-red hair draped, pressed his right palm on the sword hilt of the iron throne and asked with a look of contempt:

"What do you want with me?"

Lu Mian answered with exceptional sincerity:

"I'm looking for you because I want to ask you to hand over the two 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristics in your body."

"Haha." The "Red Angel" Medici laughed loudly, "I've lived for thousands of years and have never heard such a request. Even Alista Tudor didn't dare to say that back then. He understood very well that what cannot be obtained in war cannot be obtained in negotiation."

Lu Mian acted as if he hadn't heard the "Red Angel" Medici's mockery and said to himself:

"The Northern and Southern Continents have been substantially destroyed. If it weren't for the one worshipped by the 'Aurora Order' forcibly accommodating the 'Chaos Sea' and blocking those impacts created at the beginning of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess's' descent, if it weren't for Him and Mr. 'Fool' cooperating to create the protected area, human society would have collapsed long ago, and everyone, including us, would have died, and then gained 'new life'..."

Hearing this, the "Red Angel" Medici interrupted Lu Mian's words:

"The main reason wasn't that Adam and the 'Fool' saved us. They couldn't even protect themselves at that time."

"We are still alive because the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' is targeting the Western Continent, the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

Lu Mian did not deny the "Red Angel" Medici's statement and added in a peaceful tone:

"If it weren't for Mr. 'Fool' deceiving the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' by relying on Her instinctive craving, letting Her actively break into the Celestial Worthy's barrier sealing the Western Continent, and then relying on His connection with the barrier to strengthen it, if it weren't for the high-level beings of the Western Continent like the 'Heavenly Master' continuously burning their lives and relying on the power of the source to help maintain the barrier, even if it were just relying on the naturally dissipated power of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and the instinctive influence of the corresponding symbols, the protected area wouldn't have been maintained until now."

"But these are also reaching their limit. Two months ago, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' caught the 'Mother Tree of Desire' in the gray-white mist sealing the Western Continent. The 'Mother Tree of Desire' indeed craved for her true eldest daughter Omebella to be born again, but she was unwilling to fuse with the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' again. She had gained self-consciousness and obtained completion and new life for seven or eight thousand years, or even longer, and certainly didn't want to pass away just like that."

"Now, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' are in a tug-of-war. The ruin world and the Western Continent have gained long-lost peace, with only the naturally dissipated power and the instinctive influence of the 'Mother's' corresponding symbols still causing effects."

"This might be our last peaceful time. No one knows how long it will take for the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' to completely crush the will of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' that has been reborn for thousands of years and re-accommodate this source. Perhaps there is another year, perhaps only two or three months left."

"We don't have much time left, which is why I came to find you."

The "Red Angel" Medici let out a "heh":

"How great, how sacred you make it sound. But why should I give you the two 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristics?"

"Can't you give me that 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristic of yours and voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the position of 'Red Priest'?"

"Sacrifice is for oneself to say, not for others."

Lu Mian laughed, a laugh that made the "Red Angel" Medici suddenly feel like he had stepped into a trap.

Lu Mian's eyebrows and eyes were filled with relaxed smiles:

"Sure! I promise you!"

"I'll give you this 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristic right now, along with a 'Witch of Apocalypse' Beyonder characteristic. By then, my body's balance will be lost, and I will inevitably die. You don't have to worry about anyone competing with you for the position of 'Red Priest' anymore."

He spoke rapidly, seemingly not wanting to give Medici a chance to go back on his word.

The "Red Angel" Medici looked at him intently, as if evaluating his sincerity and the truth of his words.

Lu Mian's body relaxed, and he continued:

"The only requirement is that you must inherit my destiny, identity, this half of my body, and this head."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gently patted the strange dark-gold mask in the middle of the head on his left side.

The "Red Angel" Medici's gaze turned back and forth between the dark-gold mask, Alista Tudor's beautiful face, and Cheek's maternal face, and he laughed "hehe":

"Do you think I would accept?"

"Inheriting this broken thing is better than falling when the apocalypse comes."

"Where is your courage?" Lu Mian provoked Medici.

"Courage and wisdom are not contradictory, nor do they affect my judgment of good and bad." The "Red Angel" Medici changed his posture, put his left foot on his right leg, and shook it, shook it, shook it.

Lu Mian mocked with a look of disappointment:

"Then what are you fighting for 'Red Priest'?"

"Without relying on the specialness of this head and this half-body, can you become a 'Red Priest' without holding a ritual? Can you satisfy the requirements of the godhood ritual in a short time?"

"Without relying on the specialness of this head and this half-body, can you quickly find the 'Original Witch' Cheek and defeat Her?"

"Without relying on the specialness of this head and this half-body, can you subdue the Evil Dragon and fully accommodate the 'City of Calamity' before the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' accommodates the 'Mother Tree of Desire'?"

"Even if you really become the 'Root of Calamity' and 'Destructive Disaster' before the apocalypse comes, by then, the role you can play will not be comparable to a Great Being with the specialness of this head and this half-body. You will still fall just the same."

"Now, we are in an absolute disadvantage. To save ourselves, save everyone, and save this world, we must use every bit of specialness we can use to the extreme. Only in this way will there be a little hope."

"Medici, you are a coward. I look down on you!"

The "Red Angel" Medici laughed "hehe":

"No need to provoke, and no need to stimulate me. I never make a decision because of these."

He was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but to become the 'Root of Calamity' before the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' accommodates the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' there must be enough specialness. But after such a promotion, how long can one's own stable existence be maintained?"

"I don't know. It might be a few minutes, it might be a few years, ten years, or it might be maintained for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or longer, with some help and relying on special methods." Lu Mian answered honestly.

The "Red Angel" Medici stared at Lu Mian and that head for a long while and shook his head:

"If it were just multiple consciousnesses coexisting in one body, I have had rich experience and don't reject it. But thinking about having to stay with this madman Alista Tudor forever, and He not existing in the form of a Beyonder characteristic, I can't accept it."

The head on Lu Mian's left side turned, and Alista Tudor's handsome and masculine face looked at the "Red Angel" Medici.

He shook his head gently, with a look of disdain.

"Coward, where is your courage? Is it that only your mouth has never lost?" Lu Mian helped Tudor say the words He wanted to say.

The "Red Angel" Medici let out a "heh":

"Ordering a retreat and giving up also requires courage."

Lu Mian sighed and turned to ask:

"So, you agreed?"

This refers to finding a way to separate the two "Conqueror" Beyonder characteristics and hand them over to Lu Mian.

The "Red Angel" Medici curled his lips and said:

"Not yet, still a little bit off."

"I'm considering whether to have a one-on-one with you, whoever loses goes to take this path, or..."

He paused and said with a brilliant smile:

"You beg me."

Lu Mian froze for a second, stood up, and said seriously:

"Great God of War, symbol of iron and blood, master of turmoil and strife, I pray to you, pray to you to save this world, pray to you to give me two 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristics..."

Hearing the words "save this world," the "Red Angel" Medici's expression changed, as if wanting to sneer, and as if stunned, just like suddenly recalling certain things.

After Lu Mian finished praying, this King of Angels mocked:

"Where is your dignity?"

Without waiting for Lu Mian to respond, he raised his chin slightly:

"I promise you, but there are three requirements."

"Please speak." Lu Mian's attitude was very good.

The "Red Angel" Medici deliberated and said:

"The first requirement, if you really become the 'Root of Calamity,' when the apocalypse comes, if you have spare energy, take care of the Einhorn family and the Sauron family, and also, my descendants Albus and others."

"No problem." Lu Mian agreed without hesitation.

The "Red Angel" Medici revealed a smile again:

"The second requirement, after becoming the 'Root of Calamity,' you only need one 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristic to support it. Remember to separate the other two and return them to me by then."

To become "Above the Sequence," or "Outer Deity," one only needs the corresponding source, the unique item of the corresponding path, and one Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic of each of these paths.

"Sure." Lu Mian didn't care.

The "Red Angel" Medici put his left foot down and stood up slowly:

"The third requirement, give Adam a punch for me, and then tell Him, 'Don't be angry, this is a necessary sacrifice'."

"So simple?" Lu Mian raised an eyebrow.

Medici laughed "hehe":

"Otherwise? Kill Him, and everyone dies together?"

"Back then, if He had been willing to talk to me honestly, I wouldn't have been unable to participate in His experiment, and I wouldn't have been unable to sacrifice a little first. Do 'Spectators' always become so dark, never believing in others?"

After speaking, the "Red Angel" Medici said in a playful tone:

"I can't separate my own highest sequence Beyonder characteristic myself, so I can only ask your godfather to help, but I don't want to recite His honorific."

Lu Mian nodded and recited in Hermes in a low voice:

"Shadow wandering in destiny, God of Deception existing in the past, Savior destined to arrive..."
