Death… And Me Chapter 2816: Don't you think?

Chapter 2816: Don't you think?

Black Locust calmed himself and asked. "What is it?"

Soul Gem came forward, explaining the situation. "I'm working on repairing the Foundation Pillar, which would join both sides of the Universe again. At the same time, the Chaos Origin Source would get a lot stronger, making it much harder to be stolen."

"So?" Black Locust asked. "Just say it."

Soul Gem nodded. "To fix it, I need the Fragments from the Foundation Pillar, the real ones. Foreign Fragments won't do. That's why I came here with everyone, to show that I'm serious. Black Locust, trade the Fragments of our Universe for this Foreign one with me."

Black Locust thought for a moment. "Is that it? You are just wasting my time. Go back home."

"What?!" Soul Gem and the others were taken aback. "What do you mean? How come it is a waste of time?"

Black Locust coldly smiled. "A Foreign Foundation Fragment is still just that, a Fragment from somewhere else. We are in this Universe right now, so the Fragments from our Foundation Pillar are definitely a lot more useful. I don't know what I can use them for, but I'm not about to trade just because of that."

Kafan didn't understand. "Fixing the Foundation Pillar would join both sides back together. This would not only be a great boost to the armies' morale, but it would also help to win this war against Garisan."

Suddenly, Roan walked in front of Kafan. "Master, can't you see what he wants? Sure, the repairing of the Foundation is a good thing. However, Devils are selfish creatures. It doesn't really make any difference to him whether he has a Foreign Fragment or a Fragment from our Universe. If he is going to trade, he has to gain something on top of it. The rest matters little." "Hahaha!" Black Locust laughed out loud. "Kafan, this disciple of yours is quite good. Yes, that's exactly the case. I can trade, but there has to be something in it for me."

Soul Gem didn't quite like it but accepted it in the end. "Very well. What else would you require to trade the two Fragments in your possession?"

"Two Fragments?" Black Locust asked back. "So you want the Fragment we got from Turen and the Fragment from the Underworld Relic, uh? That is fine, too. The Fragment in the Underworld Relic is only there as a power source. A Foreign Fragment would be the same thing."

Black Locust thought about his options and finally came up with an offer. "Other than two Foreign Fragments, I also want our territory back in the Realm of G.o.ds."

"In your dreams!" Huban immediately spoke. The territory was obviously the same one his Essence Race lived now.

Kafan and the others also narrowed their eyes. That was truly a very difficult decision.

At that moment, Roan spoke. "This is truly surprising..."

Everyone looked at Roan. "Of course! They want all the Northeast side of the Realm of G.o.ds again."

"No," Roan shook his head before looking back at Black Locust. "I'm talking about Black Locust's intention."

Black Locust didn't expect to hear that. "My intentions, uh? Say it, what are my intentions, brat?"

Roan faintly smiled. "What I find surprising is that you are trying to acquire a better future for the Devils. Devils need Living Souls to cultivate faster, although they aren't really necessary. However, you are already a Semi-Celestial Devil. You don't have any need for souls anymore. Sansara and Kilindou don't need them either. And yet, Sansara and Kilindou seem to accept that your request was the best option. Seems like Devils can still think about each other."

Indeed! Black Locust wouldn't gain anything from acquiring the territory back in the Realm of G.o.ds. That would only benefit the Devils, who are still cultivating their way up. You could say that if the lower-level devils get stronger, that would also benefit Black Locust. However, that would be a lie. Semi-Celestials don't need to worry about anyone who isn't a Semi- Celestial.

A hundred Peak Divinity Realm experts could all come at once again Black Locust. As long as he was willing to sacrifice a lot of his comprehension of the laws, he would still emerge victorious. Asking for the Realm of G.o.ds' Northeast side would only benefit the weaker Devils. That's all.

Kafan, Soul Gem, Gragatou, and even Huban looked strangely at Black Locust, Sansara, and Kilindou. That wasn't the kind of thing you would expect from Devils.

Black Locust closed his eyes and didn't deny it. "If you want to think like that, I won't bother changing your minds. Perhaps we want to acquire that territory back because there is truly a huge benefit in doing so for us. What matters here is whether or not you will accept this offer."

Regardless of whether Semi-Celestial Devils were thinking for their races or not, Huban still refused. "Not gonna happen. My Essence Race has finally recovered its territory. We will not just look as you take it back."

Gragatou intervened. "Black Locust. That won't do. You knew from the start we would never accept this offer of yours. Where are you trying to get to?"

"Hmph!" Black Locust didn't care. "I want the territory back. Simple as that. Or could it be you have a better offer for me?"

From inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Rean asked Roan. 'What if we offer three Foreign Fragments to them?'

Roan thought about that. 'Even if we offer three Fragments, what will we do after that? We still have the Fragment from the Angels to acquire, and without another Fragment, they will not give theirs up. The Fragment the Angels have is what is powering the Heavens Gyroscope.' 'Could we convince Hyeoumu to give us another Fragment?' Rean wondered.

'Do you truly think he would?' Roan asked back with a snort.

Rean sighed. 'He wouldn't. That's for sure.'

The two groups seemed to have reached an impa.s.se. However, it was at that moment that Sansara spoke. "Black Locust, there is one more thing we could ask, don't you think?"
