Ch.212 All For Naught

Gaia felt a little apprehensive. What were the chances that right after using an unparalleled technique that the whole universe would drool for, a being like Eridel would appear right before her.

It was suspicious. Way too suspicious.

But what could she do? The power of a goddess was something granted to her by him, and she even had suspicions that the Primordial Essence that she used to become a Creation Dragon rather than a Destruction Dragon all those years ago was also something granted by him. After all, other than him, she hadn’t so much as seen another Immortal, talk less of a being that could generate Primordial Essence.

But even if both of those things were false, the fact that Eridel was much stronger than her still remained. She could practically feel the strength hidden beneath his skin like waves of radiation beating across her scales. It was horrifying.

If Eridel really knew about her Limitless Soul Brand and came here to obtain the technique manual, she... could not resist. It was very likely that her own life would be held hostage, and it would perish if she refused him, and considering the fact that she no longer had the means to undergo another reincarnation with intact memories, she would really have to cough up the technique just to preserve her life.

But what was to say that he wouldn’t kill her anyway? Who could bare the existence of another being with a Limitless Soul technique when you could easily kill them and become the sole owner.

Gaia’s blood cooled as she thought of these things, but she didn’t lose her mind. She had been in many dangerous situations throughout the long duration of her previous life and would not crumble until she exhausted all of her options.

“You see, It’s come to my attention that...” He took a pause again, his eyes twinkling as he delighted in her discomfort.

‘This bastard.’ Gain inwardly growled. ‘Just say it and get it over with.’

“That you... are the PERFECT person to deal with a problem I’ve been hoping to get rid of! Would you like to hear about it?”

‘What?’ Gaia blinked at the unexpected words.

“What are you talking about?” She spoke out loud, her voice as steady as always as if her mind wasn’t in turmoil.

“I’m sure you’ve heard about them. Those unruly punks. The 7 Deadly Sins.”

If Gaia had eyebrows to raise right now, they would be raised quite high. ‘What the heck is going on?’

“They’ve been causing quite a few problems for me and I want them all gone. I’m sure you feel the same after the terrible peril that befell Aeshma so how about it? Are you willing to listen?”
