Chapter 168: Spirits (1)
100,000!
Although they were spirit seeds, that was an unreasonable number. Fairies and spirits were born a long time after being conceived. I asked for 100,000 while establishing a business relationship.
However, a small number was meaningless. Contracting to the lowest level spirits wouldn’t be very helpful to me. A few things were possible, but it was highly unlikely.
However...
'I can steer them from behind. The Korean humans will act as a breakwater in the dungeon...’
Roy and Rose had already become the centre of the Korean people. The girin was actively supporting me so I could move them from behind.
My dungeon would become safer if the Korean Awakened contracted with the spirits. They would act as a breakwater if I needed to leave again.
Of course, a contract with the spirits had strict standards. They had to sincerely crave strength. Their desperation as they followed me would touch the sky.
In addition...there might be achievements related to it.
I had many reasons for asking Garrash for the seeds.
There was no reason for him to refuse. The problem was how many seeds he would allow. It was an opportunity to recognize what he was willing to distribute.
I watched Garrash carefully as he slowly opened his mouth.
“That is an unusually large number. Won’t it take a lot of time to raise 100,000 seeds?”
Garrash’s point was correct, but the spirits would wake up quickly in the dungeon.
I said calmly.
”That won’t be a problem.”
Garrash gave a small smile.
”Okay. I will give them to you.”
He surprisingly agreed. It didn’t take that long.
”What do you want?”
”I want information. The Dark Spirit King. No...Adonis, what is the ultimate goal of the black frog?”
The black frog. It clearly showed how Garrash thought about Adonis. It wasn’t strange, even if they were both kings.
'Is he asking because he really doesn’t know?’
Apart from that, I frowned at his question.
Was Garrash asking because he really didn’t know why the dark spirits attacked the fire and water spirits at the auction?
“Control of the Spirit World.”
I threw a fastball. Garrash just hummed. He shook his head and declared.
”It is a primary goal. I wouldn’t call it the ultimate one though. I wanted him to show me the ‘system,’ but he kept it a secret. Raising and lowering the rank, opening cracks, etc...the system is very unrealistic. I want to know what Adonis will ultimately do with that system.”
Ahh.
I remembered hearing something similar.
After summoning the Cruel Commander Maxium, the seal around Earth was shaken and the fire and water spirits noticed the system.
Garrash seemed to have a lot of interest in the system.
‘The dark spirits. In particular, Adonis is trying to use the system.’
I hadn’t thought about it. The system applied to everyone involved in the game and couldn’t be owned by anyone.
In my previous life, I never heard rumours about Adonis trying to use the system. But...to be honest, it didn’t make sense that Adonis would try to control the entire Spirit World in the first place.
The Spirit World was wide. The number of spirits was immeasurable and there were many types. There were at least twenty spirit kings discovered.
On the other hand, Adonis was alone. Even if he used the system to break the limit, would he be able to cope with the entire Spirit World alone? He had the help of the points from the Demon World Auction, but it was still unreasonable.
Unlike the demons, the spirits didn’t pay much attention to their enemies. If the ‘contract’ benefited them then the spirits would work together.
So...what if he tried to truly unite them using the system? I never heard of Adonis associating with other spirits so it was truly strange.
‘The dark spirits are always eager to find loopholes in the system.’
In particular, they looked for things related to the crack.
They had previously used a loophole to open a small crack to contact me.
What if it was possible for them to freely open and close the crack?
It would be possible to separate each element. An alliance between spirits would become impossible and they would be defeated.
It wasn’t impossible to open a hole in the world with a crack.
In my previous life, Adonis had ruled the Spirit World like Ariel Diablo ruled the Demon World. I didn’t know what happened after that...maybe Adonis and the Spirit World started a war with Ariel who became the devil.
Was it an assumption?
Even if it wasn’t the same, he would have achieved it in a similar manner.
Now I realized that Adonis was acting in a more complex manner.
Ruling the Spirit World was just a primary goal.
”I suppose he wants to become an all-powerful god.”
God!
That was it.
Although I didn’t know anything about gods, it wouldn’t be a strange achievement for him. It was possible to become like a living god.
Adonis. He had quite a strong greed.
”You see it as well?”
Garrash’s eyes flashed.
He continued.
”I am ignorant about the system and the game that all of you are playing. So I had to guess what Adonis’ ultimate goal was.”
He was now convinced.
Garrash’s expression seemed like things had become more interesting now.
“As I said, I like looking at an underdog. It would be very exciting to see them show off their power while facing me. It isn’t ripe yet...I will have to wait for him to break through.”
In other words, he was waiting for Adonis to break through the limits.
I couldn’t understand his way of thinking.
'He also isn’t normal.’
