BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229 The God Of Envy, Lifare
Actually, even if Taweir did not vouch to recruit Zick, the dark faction would have still gone to him anyway.
After the god of life died, her life candle, an indicator of her life, extinguished itself. Every god that joins a faction would have a candle made, which would have a deep connection with their divinity.
The one who came to you to recruit Zick was a peak god, having dozens of worlds under her rule. Her name was the god of envy, Lifare.
Lifare arrived directly at the world core, where Zick was currently at. She had a dignified appearance, wearing a black dress with red petals, which appeared lifelike, and a dazzling crown, which was an item above the mythic rank, namely transcendent.
Lifare\'s skin was pale and fair, matching her beutiful face, similar to a doll\'s. Her crimson eyes shone as she analyzed Zick from head to bottom.
\'He has already walked quite deep into the god rank, it must most likely be due to a world core. His presence gives out nothing but chaos and menace...It has been a while since a god fully specialized in destruction appeared.\' Lifare could not help but feel slight envy for Zick\'s luck.
Lifare was an executive in the lower ranks, but she was able to only gather a handful of world cores her whole life.
In the darkness, Lifare spoke first: "For you to have such a rare being able to control space and time." A sharp light passed by her eyes.
The existence of Arianell and Aurel did not miss her eyes.
Lifare lifted her thin arm, showing two fingers: "In exchange for them, you can at least get two low-grade world cores for sure."
Lifare showed her interest in buying them, but what she got in return was Zick\'s icy stare.
"You might be a god, but for you to treat my daughters as merchandise, don\'t you think you\'re overstepping your bounds?" Zick\'s voice was laced with hidden fury, which was noticed by Lifare.
Thought clashed within Zick\'s mind: \'Well, I could have considered if my life was at risk, but not now, when I have Taweir\'s backing. Even if I do lose them, I just have to reclaim both of them again in the future.\'
"Excuse me, then how about the doll that can also control space elements?" Lifare showed an adamant attitude, wanting to be able to buy such rare specimens.
"Not her, but the method to create her can be discussed. Before negotiating, first, let me officially join the dark faction." Zick hurriedly added the last sentence after seeing Lifare\'s twinkling eyes.
Lifare was excited after a long time, it was always better to extort new gods who were not aware of the values in this new environment.
Lifare quickly gave a candle, a flat round device, and many more things to Zick rapidly. The things that exited her hand, floated around Zick, as he looked at them.
"First, transfer your divinity within the candle, until it ignites," Lifare spoke while folding her hands.
Zick followed her instruction without hesitation, catching hold of the pure white candle. Black divinity left his hand, entering into the candle.
\'Interesting material, it is not getting damaged in any way as my divinity touches it.\'
Normally, with Zick\'s divinity\'s immense chaotic nature, any normal material gets destroyed at once. Only special material, which could withstand his divinity, could be useful to him now.
After a while, the candle ignited at once, connected to Zick as a whole entity.
"Next, hold your hand forward." A bottle appeared in Lifare\'s palm, containing two heterogeneous eyes.
She gave one eye to Zick and held the other in her palm, opening her mouth: "just read this paper, it will tell you everything you need to know "
Lifare showed an urgent attitude and did not at all show patience in the slightest. Her sight was only on the negotiation that was to come after this.
Zick began going through the page that Lifare handed over to him. He mused thinking about the content he just read.
\'This organization took a contribution point stance too, huh? I can only exchange things using Contribution points, in other words, I will have to contribute something or complete some task.\'
Truly simple, but at the same time very efficient method. The gods have to work if they want benefits.
As for the restriction, it would not be possible to change sides to the light faction, or the abyss faction.
The Abyss faction seems to be another faction that could contend against the other two. Zick heard of it the first time too.
All the rules will have to be followed, if not, compensation must be offered. This condition was quite loose, not showing much strictness.
\'As for the joining reward, it did not disappoint me, in the end.\'
Zick could choose any world, which was just a few steps away from forming a low-grade world core. It might not seem an appealing thing to others, as they would have to wait dozens of thousands of years.
However, for Zick, the wait was only a decade or even low. It was all thanks to Aurel, with her power, he could just fasten the time around the world.
Aurel was like a cheat, it was apparent why many would seek her. The advantages and benefits were just too good!
\'I probably can\'t keep her to myself for long. Taweir\'s name is useful against god, but before great gods, it\'s not so useful. I can only depend on myself at that point.\' Zick was made aware of this fact a long time ago.
If Zick could not rise to the great god rank soon, it would be impossible to keep these two for himself.
"I agree." Zick spat out blankly.
"Send your divinity into the eye. That item is a product of a supreme being named the mediator. Repeat after me." Lifare sent her white divinity into the eye too.
Immediately, both of the eyes in their hand shone with different colors.
"I vow by the name — the mediator."
"....I vow by the name — the mediator."
The eye in Zick\'s hand melted and entered his body, while the other eye dispersed into millions of particles.
Next, Lifare began explaining the functions of the things that she handed over to Zick. The round object was used to look into the items available for normal gods, while the other device was used for communication and other minor things.
"That concludes the explanation, let\'s get down to business shall we?" Lifare\'s eyes shone in expectation, only to turn dull hearing Zick\'s words.
"My basic condition is 5 low-grade world cores and providing me with connections. If you don\'t agree, let\'s forget this deal." Zick stated his overwhelming needs with a blunt face.
"....Are you kidding me?" Lifare\'s face was almost distorted, forming lines on it.
Zick spoke with a plain face: "Of course not, I think it to be the most appropriate prize. Space cores can be used by being able to
Wield the power of space, which would mean there would be no need for space formation, which took a hefty prize to construct."
"And they can be used as a trump card too, with a space core, they can easily affect even gods. Do I need to elaborate any further?"
"Not to say, only two people would have the monopoly over it."
Lifare\'s mind turned gears hearing Zick.
He was aware of the use of the space core!
The last line caught her interest the most.
"You are only going to share this with one more person?" Lifare\'s eyes widened, this changed the whole scope!
Lifare calculated rapidly in her head. In the end, the result was — the future benefits could outweigh the current loss.
Lifare thought feeling a little anguished: \'If I liquify some of my worlds and count the world cores I have, it\'s possible to pay the prize.\'
Lifare did not care what happened to the people who inhabit the world. Most if not all the gods from the dark faction were such kinds of people.
Treating others\' lives the same as ants, while cherishing their life more than anything.
"Can\'t the prize be lowered a little?" Lifare tried negotiating.
"No, these are my bottom lines." Zick showed an adamant attitude, but internally he was shocked.
Lifare was putting a lot lower resistance than he thought. The knowledge of space elements was truly very low, the gods wielding such power kept it secret too, having an advantage over others.
This leads to there being very low items that contain space elements in it. The reason for Lifare\'s current attitude.
\'....Just what kind of genius were those alchemists who made the biological golem? The knowledge of space elements in Yuriel\'s database might sell for quite a lot.\' Zick reevaluated the knowledge stored within Yuriel.
Lifare eyes shone sharply: "What are the other conditions then?"
"Don\'t worry, I just want you to provide me with material that I might need in the future. Let\'s see, okay, I can request material equal to half a world core. You can only reject it if you can\'t collect the resource or can\'t afford it." Zick smiled reassuringly.
"And I only want some of your knowledge, That\'s all."
Lifare\'s expression relaxed upon hearing Zick\'s last request. It was in the future, so there was no problem with it either.
"Alright, I shall accept your demands!" Lifare nodded her head firmly.
Making a bind with each other, Lifare left the place quickly. She headed to the world under her control to take its core.
\'Hmm, this god was shameless till the end. She tried doping me by saying Arianell and Aurel\'s value was only two low-grade works core. Hmph!\'
\'I would have not sold this too normally, but I have to rush a little right now. I need to grow stronger as quickly as possible.\'
