Unspeakable bubbles

You've got my blood on you, you're not getting away with this!

The flame in the pendant was merely a means to frighten the Chaos Lord; the true fire had long since been integrated into his bloodline.

A life for a life, it's not a bad deal!

As the pillar of fire shot into the sky, the thick-shelled crab demonstrated its unparalleled speed.

It instantly teleported to the other side of the city, but...

The crimson flames seemed to live as they danced across its body, and even the mighty Lord of Chaos could not shake them off.

The flames kept changing shape, burning brighter and brighter, eventually forming a cage that imprisoned chaos.

..............................................................................

With the help of the artifacts from the ruins, Kazuto Maekawa successfully reached his destination.

He was waiting anxiously when suddenly a voice rang in his ear.

Who are you waiting for?

Kazuhiko froze, motionless, hoping the artifacts on his body would work again.

"..."

A hand removed the human's helmet, and the mermaid smiled at him: "Sneaky human, were you waiting for me?"

"Uh, you, you are..."

He groaned inwardly. The mermaid in front of him was clearly no ordinary creature; she might just be the Chaos Lord who had yet to appear!

"I?"

"I am Afra, the priestess of the deep sea. And you?"

"I, I am,"

After hesitating for a moment, Kazuto gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Maekawa Kazuto!"

"Oh?"

Afra looked at Kazuto with great interest: "I didn't expect you to be an honest human being."

"I like honest people, so I can give you a chance to make a deal."

"trade?"

"Yes."

Afra said calmly, "Give me something, and I will grant you one wish."

"It's fair, isn't it?"

"..."

"Do you like this helmet? If you do, you can take it."

Kazuto Maekawa began stalling for time: "And the clothes I'm wearing, they're a set with the helmet you're holding."

"Don't underestimate them, they are relics from ancient sites!"

"I'm not interested in these little gadgets."

Afra tossed the helmet to Kazuto: "You can keep it and play with it yourself."

"what do you like?"

The person continued asking, "Perfume, jewelry, dresses..."

“You don’t have any of these things right now, and besides, I don’t like inanimate objects.”

Afra stared at Kazuto: "Interesting human souls, I've always been very interested in them."

He felt a chill run down his spine and barely managed to suppress the urge to attack.

"By the way, how come you can speak human language?"

"Haha, this is the first time... no, actually the second time I've seen a talking alien."

"Let me tell you, once upon a time, there was a little talking fairy..."

"Put the talking fairy aside, human, let's talk about our deal first."

"..."

"Okay, let's talk about the deal."

He stared into her eyes and asked, "You want my soul?"

“That’s right.” The mermaid smiled.

You said you could grant my wish?

"I can fulfill most of humanity's wishes."

"...I have a question!"

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "For example, I wanted to become a member of parliament, and I exchanged my soul with you."

"But without a soul, I am nothing but a walking corpse."

"Even if you become a member of parliament, what's the point?"

"What I'm giving my soul for isn't just the title of congressman!"

“You can enjoy it first and pay later,” Afra said calmly.

“We signed a contract that in your fifteenth year as a member of parliament, I will take your soul.”

Is this okay?

"..."

"However, the situation in the Federation is very bad right now, and it is questionable whether the seats of congressmen will even exist in the future."

"Don't you humans have some kind of government-in-exile?"

Afra pointed out, "And if you just want power, you don't necessarily have to set your sights on the position of senator."

"For example, the nobles of Sain, the rulers of the Pruton Union, and the kings of small countries..."

You have many choices.

Section 330, Chapter 329: Qualitative Change

"I do have a wish."

"But that's not power, much less a parliamentary seat."

Kazuto said earnestly, "I want the Federation to be restored to its state before the Black Tide invasion. If you can grant me this wish, then my soul..."

"Take it!"

"..."

"Humans are indeed greedy."

Afra shook her head: "I really want your soul, but unfortunately, I can't grant your wish."

She stated frankly, "Such a great power as reversing time is not something a mere deep-sea priest like myself could possess."

"Then, let's try a simpler wish."

Kazuto immediately said, "It's still early. If you can protect me here until late at night, then..."

After thinking for a moment, he said to the person, "Then I can give you everything except your soul."

"A transaction should be reciprocal. Your wish to protect me until late at night is simple; you wouldn't force me to give up my soul, would you?"

"Of course not. Lifespan, love, I can trade them all."

"However, I still cannot accept your wish."

"……why is that?"

“The great ruler is about to descend, and before that, I must clear the way.”

"..."

"I didn't see you holding a broom," He Renqiang said with a forced smile.

"What I'm going to cleanse are you humans with malicious intentions."

Afra's face turned cold: "Human, I'll give you one last chance, since you were honest at the beginning."

"Power or money, you choose one."

"After we sign the contract, I will send you far away."

"This is your only chance. Think it through before you answer."

"Thank you, beautiful lady."

"However, this matter is of great importance, please allow me to think about it carefully!"

He looked deep in thought, silently calculating the time in his mind.

"His Excellency Wells said it would take an hour, but I arrived six minutes early and just chatted with this mermaid for a while."

'The Lord of the Dead Sea, Bubbles, should be here soon.'

'I need to find a way to stall a little longer!'

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and seeing the impatience on the mermaid's face, he quickly said, "I, I want power!"

“Write your name in blood on parchment.”

Afra nodded, and a piece of parchment covered with unreadable writing flew to the man.

"..."

"I'm very worried about you like this, after all, I can't see anything on the parchment..."

Before the person could finish speaking, the unknown text above suddenly transformed into standard federal script.
