Ring of Fate

Chapter 1123 Negotiation
In an ancient castle in Trier.

The "Red Angel" Medici sat on a throne made of pieces of iron-black weapons, looking at the hall that was splashed with dark red blood, raised his right foot, and placed it on his left knee.

Before his eyes, the figure of Lumian with three heads quickly emerged.

Lumian, wearing a white shirt, black vest and dark trousers, looked at the "Red Angel" Medici and said in a teasing tone:
"I thought you would hide first and meet me after confirming that I didn't bring any helpers."

As he spoke, purple flames began to burn behind Lumian. They quickly solidified and turned into a huge iron-black chair stained with a little blood.

"Why aren't you worried about the deadly trap here?" "Red Angel" Medici shook his right foot and asked with a sneer.

Lumian sat down, leaned back in his chair, and replied nonchalantly:

"I'm looking forward to your deadly trap, which is probably a good thing."

The "Red Angel" Medici, with his long blood-red hair, placed his right palm on the sword armrest of the Iron Throne and asked with a look of contempt:

"What are you looking for from me?"

Lumian replied with unusual sincerity:
"I came to you to ask you to hand over the two 'Conqueror' extraordinary characteristics in your body."

“Haha.” Red Angel Medici laughed. “I have lived for thousands of years and have never heard of such a request. Alistair Tudor didn’t dare to say so at the beginning. He knows very well that what you can’t get in war, you can’t get in negotiation either.”

Lumian seemed not to have heard the ridicule of the Red Angel Medici, and continued to talk to himself:

“The northern and southern continents have been essentially destroyed. If it weren’t for the one who believed in the Aurora Society who forcibly contained the Chaos Sea and blocked the impact caused by the Fallen Mother Goddess at the beginning of her advent, and if it weren’t for him and Mr. Fool cooperating to create the protected area, human society would have collapsed long ago, and everyone, including us, would have died and then been ‘reborn’…”

Hearing this, the "Red Angel" Medici interrupted Lumian's words:
"The main reason is not that Adam and the Fool saved us, but that they couldn't even protect themselves at that time.

"We are still alive because the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' is targeting the Western Continent, the 'Mother Nest'."

Lumian did not deny the Red Angel Medici's statement, and added in a calm voice:

“If Mr. Fool hadn’t taken advantage of the Fallen Mother Goddess’ instinctive desire to deceive her, allowing her to take the initiative to break into the Heavenly Sovereign Barrier that sealed the Western Continent, and then strengthened it by relying on her own connection with the barrier, and if the high-ranking Western Continent figures such as the Heavenly Master hadn’t continued to burn their lives and use the power of the source to help maintain the barrier, even if only relying on the naturally dissipated power of the Fallen Mother Goddess and the influence of the corresponding symbolic instinct, the protected area would not have been able to survive until now.

“But these are almost reaching their limits. Two months ago, the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’ captured the ‘Mother Nest’ in the gray-white fog that sealed the Western Continent. The ‘Mother Nest’ really wanted to let its eldest daughter, Omibella, be born again, but it was not willing to merge with the ‘Fallen Mother Goddess’ again. It has been seven or eight thousand years, or even longer, since He was born with self-awareness, obtained completion and rebirth, and He certainly did not want to die just like that.

"Right now, the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' and the 'Mother Nest' are in a tug of war. The Ruins Realm and the Western Continent have both gained a long-lost peace. Only the dissipated power of nature and the corresponding symbol of 'Mother' are still causing an impact.

“This may be our last peaceful time. No one knows how long it will take for the Fallen Mother Goddess to completely defeat the will of the Mother Nest that has been reborn for thousands of years and to accommodate this source again. Maybe it will take a year, or maybe only two or three months.

"We don't have much time, so I came to you."

The "Red Angel" Medici said, "Oh":
"What a great and sacred thing to say, but on what basis should I give you two copies of the Conqueror Extraordinary Characteristics?
"Can't you give me your Conqueror Extraordinary Characteristics and voluntarily withdraw from the competition for the Red Priest position?
“Sacrifice is for yourself, not for others.”

Lumian laughed, and the "Red Angel" Medici suddenly felt like he had stepped into a trap.

Lumian's eyebrows and eyes were filled with a relaxed smile:

"Sure! I promise!
"I will give you the Conqueror Extraordinary trait right now, along with a copy of the Doomsday Witch Extraordinary trait. When the time comes, I will lose my balance and die. You don't have to worry about anyone competing with you for the position of Red Priestess."

He spoke very quickly, as if he didn't want to give Medici a chance to regret.

The "Red Angel" Medici looked at him intently, as if assessing his sincerity and the truthfulness of his words.

Lumian relaxed and continued:

"The only requirement is that you must inherit my destiny, identity, this half of my body, and this head."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gently patted the strange dark golden mask in the middle of the left side of his head.

The Red Angel Medici's gaze shifted back and forth between the dark golden mask, Alistair Tudor's beautiful face, and Chike's maternal face, and he laughed, "Haha":
"Do you think I'll accept it?
"It's better to die at the end of the world than to inherit this crap."

"Where's your courage?" Lumian provoked Medici.

"Courage and wisdom are not contradictory, nor do they affect my judgment of good and bad." "Red Angel" Medici changed his posture, put his left foot on his right leg, and shook it again and again.

Lumian sneered with a look of disappointment:
"Then why are you fighting for the title of 'Red Priest'?
"Without relying on the special features of this head and this half of the body, can you become a 'Red Priest' without performing a ceremony? Can you meet the requirements of the godhood ceremony in a short period of time?

"Without relying on the special features of this head and this half of the body, can you quickly find the 'Original Witch' Chike and defeat her?
"Without relying on the special features of this head and this half of the body, can you subdue the evil dragon and completely accommodate the 'City of Disaster' before the 'Fallen Mother Goddess' can accommodate the 'Mother Nest'?

“Even if you really become the ‘root of evil’ or the ‘disaster of destruction’ before the end of the world, the role you can play at that time will not be comparable to that of the great being with this head and this half of the body. You will still perish in the same way.

"Right now, we are at an absolute disadvantage. If we want to save ourselves, save everyone, and save the world, we must use every bit of our special abilities to the fullest. Only in this way will there be a glimmer of hope.

"Medici, you are a coward, I despise you!"

The "Red Angel" Medici laughed:
"Don't provoke me or stimulate me. These are never the reasons why I make a decision."

He was silent for a few seconds and then said:

"You make a lot of sense. To become the 'Origin of Trouble' before the 'Great Mother' can accommodate the 'Main Nest', one must be sufficiently special. But after being promoted in this way, how long can one maintain a stable existence?"

"I don't know. It could be a few minutes, or a few years, or even a dozen years. It could also, with some help and relying on special methods, last for thousands or tens of thousands of years, or even longer." Lumian answered honestly.

The Red Angel Medici stared at Lumian and the head for a while, then shook his head and said:
"If it's just that multiple consciousnesses coexist in one body, I have had a lot of experience with that and I don't reject it. But the thought of staying with a madman like Alistair Tudor forever, and He doesn't exist in the form of Beyonder characteristics, I can't accept it."

The head on Lumian's left side turned, and Alistair Tudor's handsome and masculine face looked towards the "Red Angel" Medici.

He shook his head slightly, a look of disdain on his face.

"Coward, where's your courage? Is your mouth the only thing you haven't lost?" Lumian helped Tudor say what He wanted to say.

The "Red Angel" Medici said, "Oh":
"It also takes courage to order a retreat and give up."

Lumian sighed and asked:
"So, you agreed?"

This refers to finding a way to separate the two "Conqueror" extraordinary characteristics and hand them over to Lumian.

The "Red Angel" Medici raised his lips and said:
“Not yet, not even close.

"I'm thinking about whether I should have a one-on-one duel with you. Whoever loses will go this way, or..."

He paused for a moment, then said with a bright smile:
"Please beg me."

Lumian was stunned for a second, then stood up and said seriously:
"Great God of War, the symbol of iron and blood, the ruler of chaos and strife, I pray to you, pray that you can save this world, and pray that you can grant me two 'Conqueror' extraordinary characteristics..."

Hearing the words "save the world", the expression of "Red Angel" Medici changed. He seemed to want to sneer, but also seemed to be stunned, as if he suddenly remembered something.

When Lumian finished praying, the Angel King taunted:
"Where's your decency?"

Without waiting for Lumian to respond, He raised his chin slightly and said:

"I promise you, but I have three requirements."

"Please go ahead." Lumian said in a very good manner.

The "Red Angel" Medici considered for a moment and said:

"My first request is that if you really become the 'root of evil', when the end of the world comes, if you have the energy to spare, please take care of the Einhorn family and the Sauron family, as well as my descendant Albus and others."

"No problem." Lumian agreed without hesitation.

The "Red Angel" Medici smiled again:
"My second request is that after you become the 'Root of Trouble', you can use one 'Conqueror' Beyonder characteristic to support yourself. When the time comes, remember to separate the other two and return them to me."

To become "above the sequence", or "the Great Old One", one only needs the corresponding source material, the uniqueness of the corresponding path, and one copy of the Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics of each of these paths.

"Okay." Lumian didn't care.

The Red Angel Medici put his left foot down, slowly stood up and said:
"The third request is, help me punch Adam and tell Him, 'Don't be angry, this is a necessary sacrifice.'"

“So simple?” Lumian raised an eyebrow.

Medici laughed and said:
"What else? Kill Him and we all die together?

"If He had been willing to be honest with me, I could have participated in His experiment, and I could have made some sacrifices first. Will all the 'audience' eventually become so dark, and never trust others?"

After that, the "Red Angel" Medici said in a joking tone:
"I am unable to separate my own highest-order Beyonder characteristics. I can only ask your godfather for help, but I don't want to miss His honorable name."

Lumian nodded and said in a low voice in Hermetic:

"The shadow of wandering destiny, the deceitful god of the past, the savior destined to come..."
