When Han saw the Elf queen blush he couldnât stop himself from smiling. He decided that she wasnât a lost cause yet. They donât really have to fight.
âBoth my army and your army should stay. We donât trust each other enough to be alone and Iâm sure they wouldnât want to leave their king at my mercy. But just tell me, what will it take for you to sign the contract with me without me forcing it on you?â
Aria sighed. This is the moment of truth. This is what she has been waiting for since Han came to the floor. She knew that Han wasnât just a brute, but she tried her best to steer the conversation in the direction that she wanted! The next thing that came out of her mouth shocked Han a lot!
âThe Celestials are trying to give me access to the Celestial plane. They have already sent a representative to tell me to prepare and if I am not ready the next time they come then they will use force,â
This statement made Gory clench her hand around her spear and Han could tell that Aria was not joking about this! This was a great surprise! It is usually very rare for the celestials to try and recruit someone! The only person that Han knows is Dorea. And that is because of her power that can move physical objects from one place to another without restrictions. Her power was useful and the Celestials decided that they would invite her to the Celestial plane so that they could use her.
Han didnât know very much about Dorea, but Han could easily tell that she regrets going to the Celestial plane a lot! If she is given another chance to go there then she is not even going to think twice before refusing!!
Is that why Aria was telling me this? Is she also against the Celestials!? Maybe she knows about the bullshit that the Celestials are up to. She has to know! If Aria knows that the celestials are only using us as entertainment then she will definitely not want to go up there!
Han then thought about what sort of power Aria has for the celestials to want to take her! If she is being recruited then that means she must have amazing power.
âWhat sort of power do you have? You are an archer class, right? How can you be of use to them?â
Aria smiled and then she brought out her hand and formed a blue sphere on it. Inside that sphere, an image started to form, and before long Han could see a video of him and Aria sitting on the ground inside the sphere. It was an image of what was happening at that moment, but something was different. Aria and I are alone inside the video. And now weâre getting closer to each other and now weâre kissing and⦠Wow, sheâs taking off her clothes!?
Phwom!
Aria quickly shut the video off before Han could see any more and she blushed as she heard Gory laughing from behind her! She doesnât have control over what happens inside those universes okay! Stop laughing!
âWhat is that?â
Han asked this in awe as he stared at Aria and Aria answer him easily.
âMy power is something similar to my sister. I am able to shoot an arrow through space and rewrite an aspect of time that has already happened. In simple terms, I can rewrite reality and create alternate timelines. I canât change anything happening in this timeline but I can change a small thing in the past and create a whole new timeline.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han was gobsmacked! He has never heard of an ability like that before! New timelines! Reality manipulation! No wonder the Celestials are after you! Your power is basically a cheat system! They will be able to see different realities and also view various versions of us! It is also possible that your power will grow so that you can travel to these alternate timelines. But since you can view those realities then you will be their new source of entertainment! Ha! Those Celestials never get tired of watching us, do they!?
Han breathe out a sigh as he finally turned to Aria again. She was looking at him with a small blush on her cheeks and Han could tell that it was because of the video that she showed him. It showed that she had no control over what happened in those alternate timelines that she creates. If she changes something then it can lead to a big difference in the future, but she will not be able to tell what exactly the difference will be!
âNow you see why I am being recruited. The celestials obviously want to use me just like they are using my sister. I canât allow them to do that. It is already bad enough that they have trapped us all in this temple for eternity, I donât want to be a guinea pig for their experiments. So this is my proposal for you. I want you to prove to me that you will be able to take care of any celestial that tries to attack me or my people. I heard a rumor that you have killed a celestial before. I know they are immortal, so it is impossible to even imagine it, but I want to believe in you. I am not a physical fighter and the Celestials have strong mental barriers so my mental attacks wonât work on them very well. You are my only hope,â
Han narrowed his eyes at her in confusion. She only wanted that? It wasnât something hard to give her but it was still strange that she was willing to sign the contract just for something small like this!
âFine, how exactly do you want me to prove it to you?â
âDefeat my father in combat,â
âAnd who is your father?â
Here, Aria smiled and Gory frowned in annoyance. Aria and Gory didnât exactly have the best memories of their father, and even though Aria already forgave him for most of the things he did, Gory did not! She hated that man!
âOur father is the first and strongest king in the temple, King Esteroth. If you can beat him in the fight that he will challenge you to then I will sign the contract with you,â
Han couldnât help it. He laughed. He just put his hand on his face and laughed! This Aria was trying to play him, wasnât she? She already knows that her father will challenge me to a fight and she only used all of this to try and get her own selfish wish from the fight!
Han didnât have to do whatever they wanted him to. Even if they had this army here, Han was sure that he would still win if they fought. There will have a great loss in his army but they will still win!
Han was about to tell her that he would not take part in her stupid game when he suddenly tensed! Every black star also tensed and Han looked up as a white dome suddenly fell over the four of them! Han, Aria, Gory, and Gregory were trapped inside the dome and Han wondered what the fuck was going on!
â¦
On floor sixty-three, Ratte was panicking! He just tried to get through to Han a minute ago and he couldnât reach him through his shadow hunter! Han told Ratte to always contact him through the shadow hunters if there was anything that he thought Hann needed to knoow! Han didnât want anyone to suspect them so he came up with this method.
But Ratte knew that there was a big problem now. He couldnât get through to Han! It was like the shadow hunter completely shut down and just died. Does that mean that Han is dead? No, that bastard wouldnât die in just that short time. Iâm not that lucky to hope for something like that. If Han is dead that could be good for me but I know that man wonât die like that. Then that means something happened to him. He is in a place where I canât talk to him. Ratte needed to tell Han about Paladin!
Paladin was not someone that you can joke with! That monster was the kind of person they tell ghost stories about to children! Ratte knew that none of the Celestials could go after Han. Ratte was smart enough to know that if the celestials had permission to go after Han, they definitely would have attacked and captured him already. That means that something is stopping them from capturing him.
But that only made things worse! When Paladin doesnât see a direct route to get something he starts looking for other ways to get it! Ratte was terrified of what Paladin could do to get to Han now! Ratte needed to warn Han!
