The Eternal Debauchery's

deal with the queen

Inside the world tree, (Queen of Eternal Distortion) saw countless spatial seals around the tree with an expressionless look.

He could see that the seal had frozen the three of them inside the spatial cage in an alternate dimension. Right now, the tree was completely inaccessible to him.

Although he could see her, he could not touch or make contact with her.

Furthermore, he could sense the powerful destructive power in this seal. He knew that if I wanted to, I could destroy the tree at any time.

His expression quickly turned increasingly cold, and his eyes were filled with an ice-cold killing intent that seemed impossible to suppress.

Realizing my purpose, he glared at me.

“Eternal Soul, if you dare to destroy that tree, I promise I will not rest until I see you dead, no matter how long it takes for me!”

I narrowed my eyes when I heard it.

I have no doubt about his words. Immortals are extremely stubborn creatures and they rarely give up when they want to do something. If he said he would definitely kill me, then that meant he would do everything in his power to kill me no matter how many years it took.

No one wants an enemy like that.

Fortunately, my intention was never to destroy the tree.

My goal is just to use it as a chip on my desk. Judging from the Queen's personality, maybe I can use it to come to an agreement with her.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to destroy it" I said. “However, I can't let you experiment to continue either. I can't let this world be destroyed now.”

“Heh... Did you tell me to give up on my plan? Don't you know that we, the Immortals, always put an end to what we started?”

I nodded. I am an Immortal as well, so of course, I know that.

"That's why I wanted to make a deal with you."

“Deal?”

"Yes. As I said, I can't let you destroy this world right now, however, I don't care if you destroy it later.”

"Huh?" (Queen) surprised by my words. But a second later, he understood.

"So then, you will keep the World Tree sealed until you complete your goal. And after that, you will release it and allow me to complete my experiment.”

I'm nodding. "Yes, that was my idea."

Different from the Unknown Immortal, (Queen) doesn't seem interested in interfering with my goals. The other Immortal wanted to destroy the world, and if in the process he could fight me, then it was better. That is the reason why we can only be enemies.

But (Queen) just wants to finish the experiment. The rest is no problem.

In other words, we can reach an agreement that will satisfy both of us.

Of course, it was only possible because I won when I sealed the tree. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to hear my words.

I don't know the exact purpose of his experiment with this tree, but it was obviously very important to him. Therefore, he will accept my deal as soon as it is not too outrageous just to save the tree.

"2,000 years" I said. "I'll take the seal off by then."

"Impossible." (Queen) directly rejected my application. “2000 years is too much. 100 years is the most I can give you.”

"100 years?" I sneered. “We are Immortal, a hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye. 1500 years. No less."

The (Queen) eyes turned cold.

"No." He declared coldly.

I furrowed my eyebrows. Why is this woman so stubborn?

As if sensing my thoughts, Emilia growled.

“Whore, I am already merciful for saving your life! How dare you refuse father !? Dad, we have to kill him! If we both fight together, we can win! ”

I furrowed my eyebrows. That's not the result I want.

I know how troublesome the Immortal is. Therefore, I did not believe myself to be able to kill him even though me and Emilia joined hands.

Defeating him was not difficult, but killing him was a difficult matter.

Plus, even if we manage to kill him, judging from the abilities he had shown up until now, there was a high chance that he had a resurrection method.

In other words, if we continue to fight it, I will have a life and death feud against the powerful Immortal.

I can't afford it now. Not when my goal was so close and there was also another Immortal waiting for an opportunity from the shadows.

So, my best option is to make a deal with him.

“1000 years, Queen. This is my last offer.I know this isn't your only experiment, and you probably have thousands of similar experiments in other worlds, so this experiment shouldn't be too important to you. On the other hand, I can't let you play around with this world right now. Therefore, if you disagree, I will not hesitate to kill you here and now.”

(Queen) squinted, weighing his options in silence.

After a few minutes like that, he nodded.

“... Okay, another thousand years. I don't mind waiting that long. And yet"

"What's that?"

"You'll owe me."

I frowned.

“It looks like you forgot who took the initiative here.”

“Stop bluffing, Eternal Soul. I feel you are more concerned with this world than I am on a tree. What do you think would happen to this world if I made a black hole now?”

This lady…

To think he'd be this sharp.

What am I supposed to do?

Since help to the Immortal is a complicated matter.you have no idea what the other party will ask of you in the name of returning this favor.

Of course, I can agree now and then refuse to pay for it later. However, that means making this woman my enemy.

I took a long breath.

“... Okay, I agree. However, I will refuse to return this favor depending on your request. ”

"i understand. That's enough." (Queen) nodded and retracted his killing intent. “Alright, for the next thousand years, I will remain here on this tree and I promise to stop this experiment.”

I can only sigh in relief in my heart.

With this, I am dealing with this crisis.

But then, I thought of something.

“True, there is another Immortal thought about destroying this world. I'm sure you don't want to see it succeed either. What do you think about joining hands with me to kill him?”

(Queen) surprised.

A second later, he grinned.

"What's? Do you want to make me your hired thug too? Dream on. As for that Immortal, if you fail to stop him, I don't mind trying it.”

… Well, it's worth a try.

I chuckled wryly and shook my head.

Anyway, now that I've dealt with this situation, it's time to deal with the next issue …

Looking beside me, I saw Emilia growling at the Immortal elves, clearly still angry at her.

I smiled wryly and patted his head.

“Come away, Emilia. You and I need to talk.”

Emilia was surprised for a moment. But in the next second, her lips curved up forming a bright smile.

"Understand me, dad."
