Chapter 918: Alliance

Inside a well-furnished, classy coffee shop, the sound of a piano flowed gently like a river.
“Sir Arthur, that was great!”
The song finished, and Arthur returned to his seat. As expected, he received several flirtatious invitations along with gazes filled with enmity from the males.
“Hey… wasn’t that too flashy?”
Heinze turned his shoulders.
Just a second ago, he saw the wanted notice for him and Snow on the television.
Of course, it was not due to their betrayal of the Sorcerer Congress. Instead, they had become international criminals through numerous murders and damage to public safety.
Even Snow was named, and there was a hefty bounty for merely his information alone!
“It’s nothing. In fact… I’ve been watched for a long time!”
Arthur shrugged. He used his spiritual will to transmit, “It’s people from Primary Color! It’s due to my extraordinary charisma!”
Is he courting death?
Fang Yuan was speechless.
If only Arthur could show a little more restraint, he would not be in this situation.
The ability to attract all females was too similar to a possible peculiarity of the Derivatives. It was no surprise that he was under watch.
“However… they can’t find my ‘Derivative’. On top of that, I’m not dangerous, so they’re just monitoring me for now!”
Arthur spread his hands and said confidently, “It can’t be helped. My charisma is just too overwhelming!”
It’s truly rare for a Demon God to be this narcissistic!
Heinze and Fang Yuan exchanged glances, both speechless, and eventually changed the subject. “All right… We want to destroy Primary Color and require your aid!”
“Destroy Primary Color, eh… Tsk tsk, this is truly a difficult task!”
Arthur sipped his coffee gracefully. “From what I know… Primary Color is in control of over a hundred Derivatives! Although most of them only present minor inconveniences, there are a few that are quite scary. Especially the top ten! For instance, number nine, ‘Absolute Protection’. It can create an unbreakable defense that can only be stopped from the inside. Its range spans the entire Primary Color headquarters, and it can maintain its effectiveness for at least a century!
“As for the top five Derivatives, they are absolute secrets in Primary Color. However, I can confirm that each of them has terrifying powers…”
Arthur shook his head repeatedly. “I’m afraid that just the three of us are not enough!”
“The person who has the most information about Primary Color is you. Surely you must have something up your sleeve?”
Heinze was showing a long face.
Arthur laughed weirdly. “Keke… Actually, the person who understands Primary Color the deepest is not me, but another Demon God! Do you guys want to meet him?”
“Another Demon God? All right! The more we have, the better our chances!” Heinze nodded.
“Very well… then I’ll inform him immediately! Wait! He’s already here!” Arthur looked around.
Since a certain point in time, the people in the coffee shop had been behaving strangely.
Everyone had a sluggish look about them as they turned to where the three sat. They all smiled the same smile. “Yes! I’m already here!”
“Lord of the Void!” Heinze was the first to exclaim. “You failed to obtain the coveted Impermanence Great Dao last time. Now, you want to go after it again? No… According to my sources, haven’t you gone to the Spiritual Realm?”
“My Dao of the Void can divide into billions. What remains here is nothing more than what I left here a long time ago.”
The Lord of the Void made a waitress sit down by Arthur’s side and wink flirtatiously at him.
Arthur shivered and increased the distance between them subconsciously.
It was obvious that they all knew that the Lord of the Void was hard to deal with, or they had been taken advantage of by the Lord of the Void before.
“What about the new guy! Introduce us!”
The Lord of the Void looked merrily at Fang Yuan, as though they had never met before.
“My name is Snow!”
Fang Yuan nodded, knowing the Lord of the Void was pretending that they did not know each other because he did not want to divulge the things that had happened in the Spiritual Realm.
“All right, everyone here is a Demon God. Is anyone interested in the hundred-plus Derivatives in the hands of Primary Color?” Heinze cut to the chase. “Lord of the Void, in this respect, we’re allies!”
“Yes, allies!” The beauty under Lord of the Void’s control giggled. “My Demonic Thoughts of the Void can stay hidden in anything that has feelings. Especially since the people of this world have taken the path of technology, their souls are, on average, on the weak side. That remains the case even if they have undergone harsh training. As such, I’ve already corrupted a little less than half of the Primary Color headquarters’s men. Although they’re all low ranked, there is a top-five Terminator who can come into contact with ‘Absolute Protection’. How valuable is this information?”
“Very nice!” Heinze smiled. “After we take down the Primary Color headquarters, you can be the first to choose the Derivatives! As long as it’s not the Philosopher’s Book!”
The Lord of the Void crossed his fingers and said in an extremely calm voice, “No! We can split the loot evenly! But you all have to give me some tiny, insignificant help!”
“Help with what?”
Fang Yuan and the other two exchanged glances, not daring to take this lightly.
“I need to draw out the Impermanence Great Dao once again, and I want you to help me tame it!” The beautiful face of the Lord of the Void now had a hint of ferocity. “As long as you help me draw it out, then your end of the contract will be fulfilled. If you guys can help me tame it, then all the Derivative will belong to you!”
“Nice calculations… Hmph!” Heinze laughed coldly. “All Derivatives are born from the Impermanence Great Dao. This price for you is really… insignificant!”
“However… who has the confidence to tame a Great Dao that had finished converging in this world?” Lord of the Void answered with another question. “Only if we were the forgers of this Great Dao, in which case we could simply claim ownership… However, the Impermanence Great Dao is similar to a Demon God in this world, whereas we don’t have even thirty percent of our original strength!
“Actually… I’m drawing out the Impermanence Great Dao this time to test something. But I don’t have much confidence that it’ll succeed. On the other hand, you guys will be able to obtain great amounts of Derivatives, as well as the method that I’m going to use to draw out the Impermanence Great Dao. Isn’t it a great deal for you guys?”
“This…”
Heinze and Arthur contemplated.
They had been in this world for many years and were well aware of how difficult it was to deal with the Impermanence Great Dao.
Additionally, the Lord of the Void had once conceitedly made full preparations and still failed.
This time, the chance of success was really not that great.
If it was truly as the Lord of the Void said, then the deal could be made.
After all, their profits were secured, coupled with the chance to obtain more. If the Lord of the Void failed, then they would restart the summoning and try to refine the Impermanence Great Dao themselves. The Lord of the Void would have nothing to say at that time.
“Then… what about this friend, Snow?” The Lord of the Void looked happily at Fang Yuan.
“Me? I have no objections, of course!” Fang Yuan answered with a smile. However, he was actually shocked. He knew that there was something going on with the Lord of the Void.
Otherwise, the war in the Spiritual Realm was in full swing, so why was he not putting his energy on the fight for hegemony, occupying the Dragon Qi of the human realm, and then cutting a path the heavens? Instead, he was focusing on this world. It was strange, wasn’t it?
Naturally, the Lord of the Void also suspected Fang Yuan, with the same reasoning.
Fang Yuan was leaning on the advantage of his stats window, which he could use to swiftly break through the suppression to his strength. He would then rapidly traverse worlds in order to raise his strength. However, this was his secret that he would not divulge to anyone.
“Very well, then it’s settled!” Lord of the Void was overjoyed. “With the combined strength of us four Demon Gods, the Primary Color headquarters will be nothing!”
“Oh right, what are the first ten Derivatives under Primary Color’s control exactly?” Heinze could not wait to ask for more information.
“… Derivatives have all kinds of peculiarities, but not many can be put to use. Although Primary Color has over a hundred of them, the majority are useless. For instance, water that will never run out from drinking it, a piece of meat that can sing and dance, and so on… The top ten are ranked not according to their single-target attack strength, but by their destructive force. If they were unleashed, all of human civilization would be decimated!”
Lord of the Void was thinking aloud. “For instance, the biological virus that’s rank one. It’s an incredibly infectious virus that can pass through almost any medium and has a hundred percent mortality rate toward all lifeforms… Primary Color lost a great deal in its capture. In the end, they managed to seal it in the ‘Eternal Safe’. This Eternal Safe is also a Derivative, rank seventy-five. However, it just so happens to have the ability to limit the power of viruses!
“That’s also the horror film meme at rank three. Its ghost curse will descend upon reality and kill anyone that has seen it. The more it spreads, the more powerful the ghost becomes… If it were accidentally broadcasted on television, then humans could basically declare extinction.
“Although these items have wide-range destructive potential, they’re not as dangerous to us as some of the lower-ranked Derivatives!”
“Yeah, I’m more interested in the Derivatives that can harm us!” Arthur asked calmly, “What do we need to pay attention to?”
“Number two, the Gun of Extinction. Anything hit by it, no matter how tough, will be erased from this world. No exceptions!” the Lord of the Void answered with a voice that was slightly afraid. “I’ve seen it once. All my spirituality quivered with fear then. I knew that if I had been hit by it, then all of my incarnations in his world would be erased. It could even affect my soul in other worlds!
“There’s also the rank four Fax Machine and the rank five Bunshinsaba. They all have certain degrees of prediction and judgment abilities. The Fax Machine could very well be showing an image of us plotting against Primary Color right now…
“Lastly, rank seven Memory Stick. Once the light from the stick shines on you, all of your memories will vanish, and you will turn into an idiot!”
…
With one incredible peculiarity after another, Fang Yuan could not help but fear for the humans of this world.
It was quite something to have survived until now.
