GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 989 Sweet Tongue Carnage.

He is of the opinion that the demon god put the heart of Carnage into his body because it sensed his powerful soul. His powerful soul probably intrigued the demon god who then decided to create a bigger connection between them so that a stronger channel would be formed between them.

He expected the demon to try and kill him immediately for his soul instead of talking to him. So he asked why the demon god was not being forceful with him. After all, he is already trapped.

The voice in his head sighed. "I like your determination. I don't want to perform a forceful takeover so that I will not rob you of your will and originality. Originality is needed for Creativity and Creativity is needed for Art. In other words, I want to preserve what makes you special so that you will create more works of Art. It is so that CARNAGE will become stronger."

Ragnarok laughed in his mind. He decided to call the bluff of the demon god, "That's a lie. If I know demons and I know them very well. I know that they like to lie. There are only two reasons for not doing something. It is either because you can't do it or because you don't want to."

He said confidently, "If you are saying that you don't want to, then there must be a very good reason for it. The reason you gave is not good enough. I don't think I am special enough to warrant the heart of Carnage. You can give it to anyone you want. So there must be something going on that you are not telling me."

The voice in his head laughed too. "That's smart. But you're wrong about your conclusion. You really are special. You have a powerful soul and a powerful divine ability. I need you to be my champion of Carnage in this plane. That can only happen if I don't overwrite your existence."

"Do you truly want me to believe that you're not curious about why I have such a powerful soul?" He asked.

"Oh, I am very curious about it. I would like to get to the bottom of it but you being my champion is a much more important matter so I will keep you alive. Besides, you will tell me in due time when we become good friends. You will find me to be a good listener."

"Good friends like my father?" Ragnarok asked.

"Exactly. We are such good friends that I will feel bad about doing something bad to you. He wished for you to do great things and I am going to give you that opportunity. All you have to do is offer me your allegiance and soul." contemporary romance

He sneered. "This demon must think I am naive and stupid because I am young," He thought to himself.

That's the only explanation he can come up with for why the demon god would say that it will feel bad about doing some bad things to him. He would be stupid indeed to believe it after he witnessed the death of his father.

So he asked. "Right. And your commitment to my safety doesn't have anything to do with the Blood Writ that you sighed with my father?"

He saw the blood-red sheet of paper and what was written on it when Xigger pulled it out to show to Malekit. He was suspicious of its validity in light of the death of his father but he is certain about it now that the demons decided to lie.

The voice in his head chuckled. It is not at all ashamed of being caught in a lie. "You sly little boy. I see that you are aware of it. Why are you pretending not to know why I am not being forceful if you already know?"

He asked in return, "Why are you trying to fool me?"

"Tit for tat then. I must say that this is much better than your father. He was such a fool and a bore. I hope you won't disappoint me. That might force my hands."

Ragnarok agreed. "Yes, he was a fool. He was a fool for making deals with a demon god."

"Now don't say that. I am an honest business person. I make deals that fit my customers. Your father cared about his loved one and he got what he asked for. Don't mock him for it now. After all, it's his deal with me that is currently keeping you alive right now."

Ragnarok smirked and said, "Right. But that safety will only last until you find a loophole to go through."

"Don't be so suspicious. It is not good for your health. There's no need to be so suspicious of me. I mean well for you. I can give you power and authority. I can give you wealth and pleasure beyond your wildest dreams. Do you want the whole plane to yourself? I can give it to you. Just offer me your allegiance."

That didn't sound convincing to Ragnarok and he noticed that the demon god didn't deny his accusation. Instead, the demon god asked for his soul again.

"I am fine. Thanks for the offer but I don't deal with demons." He refused without mincing his words.

He has regained some of his confidence after confirming that the demon god can't act forcefully against him right now. That only means he is currently safe from the demon god not eternally safe so he can't let down his guard. But he and all of Legion gained a brief moment of respite and stopped being nervous that they would be wiped out soon.

The demon god on the other hand is not happy. It grumbled and said, "You should change this stubborn attitude of yours. I won't take it to heart though. I am very patient. I can wait. In the meantime, you have to get to safety if you don't want to die. The sun is about to come up and you are part vampire. Your body will start to break down so you need to stop and let it rest."
