The wager
Shisui has always been adept at using what he has to achieve his goals.
For example, continuously developing one's own Kagune to enhance one's strength;
He quickly mastered combat skills in actual combat by relying on his extraordinary self-healing ability.
And, by using her good looks and deliberately displayed gentle demeanor, she closed the distance with her target.
"We have a common enemy. Are you interested in cooperating?"
Through the Kakugan, Shisui's consciousness successfully connected with the soul of the Wraith Species.
A slight smile curved Shisui's lips as he nodded slightly towards the vengeful spirit in the distance.
Kakugan shifted his gaze slightly, his eyelids drooping slightly.
At the same time, the light reflected from the surrounding Radiant Feathers shone on Shisui Sui's face, softening his features and reducing the aggressiveness of his gaze.
He knew that the vengeful spirit opposite him had regained its rationality as an intelligent being.
That's why he started to probe.
Now, let's see how they respond.
Hopefully, the Sea Demon Species will take the lead.
Shisui's mind was racing, but that didn't stop him from manipulating the Rc Cells.
He then feigned cooperation with the Wraith Species's soul attack, reluctantly restraining the Dragon King Clone.
In the distance, the newly born Wraith Species watched him warily.
The black Soul Energy surged towards the churning magma, and he could sense another powerful force aiding him.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar resounded.
The Rc Cells blocked the Dragon King's soul fragment from transferring for a moment.
The vengeful spirit's resentment successfully tore a hole in the fragment.
The tangible assistance brought a taste of sweetness to the vengeful spirit.
Just as he stopped rejecting the Shisui energy fluctuations, the voice once again pierced through the black mist surrounding the vengeful spirit and entered his body.
"With your current strength, you can't kill the Dragon King."
This time the sound was clearer, but the content was not what the vengeful spirit wanted to hear.
The black energy fluctuated violently, seemingly expressing its anger.
The soul of the Sea Demon Species has taken over.
Based on that clearly defined hatred, Shisui confirmed this.
That's true; after all, those Death Herald are a collection of the resentment of a large number of ordinary people after their deaths.
With so many negative emotions from different individuals mixed together, it's already quite difficult to produce even a modicum of rationality.
Moreover, the target of the Death Herald is not a specific individual.
He will only slaughter awakened beings as much as possible after gaining power, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
If it were in control, the vengeful spirits wouldn't be fighting the Dragon King Clone to the death in the prison.
Instead, they go to places with stronger resentment to absorb power, or to cleanse areas where low-level awakened individuals congregate.
Despite the jumble of thoughts in Shisui's mind, he continued to use words to entice the vengeful spirit in the distance.
"You should be well aware of the gap between yourself and the true ruling class, after all, you've merged with the Death Herald."
The energy surging from the Wraith Species grew increasingly frenzied.
He was naturally aware of the gap between himself and the Heaven-Controlling Realm.
With their current strength, killing Heaven-Controlling Realm is simply a pipe dream.
However, if he devours the Dragon King Clone in front of him, he can use those soul fragments to directly attack the Dragon King's soul.
As a vengeful spirit, he was 40% confident of severely damaging the Dragon King's soul.
"You want to use these soul fragments to turn against the Dragon King's soul, don't you?"
The voice floated lightly near the vengeful spirit's consciousness, making it clear to him.
Even though it had no physical form, the vengeful spirit felt its hair stand on end.
He belatedly realized that the other party's Psychic Energy had already silently reached the core area of his soul.
Before he could do anything to forcefully eliminate the Shisui Psychic Energy, the next sentence made him pause.
"I can help you increase your energy absorption rate when digesting the Dragon King Clone over there, and I can teleport you directly into the Dragon King Hall."
This is a very tempting offer for vengeful spirits.
Putting aside increasing the energy absorption rate, just being able to break through the Dragon Palace's barrier is already crucial.
Not to mention, it leads directly into the Dragon King Hall.
By bypassing all shields, it reduces energy consumption for the vengeful spirits attacking the Dragon King and lowers the risk of exposure before the assassination attempt.
To put it simply, it directly increases the success rate of assassinations.
He finds it hard to refuse.
"Condition."
There's no such thing as a free lunch; he had to first consider what the other party wanted.
If the other party makes an exorbitant demand, he doesn't mind directly threatening them.
They've taken the bait.
To prevent the vengeful spirit from directly attacking him or fleeing, Shisui no longer concealed his true intentions.
Rc Cells surged, instantly capturing the Dragon King Clone, which had been weakened to the point of being unable to resist.
Add another chip.
Now, negotiations begin.
"I also have a grudge against the Dragon King."
While it's unclear whether vengeful spirits still possess empathy, sharing a similar tragic fate would certainly be a plus.
A hint of resentment flashed in Shisui's eyes as he glanced at the controlled Dragon King Clone.
"Not long ago, the Dragon King swallowed the original site of Chongming City with magma, and then destroyed the Human Race's Mao City."
My relatives were near Mao City at the time.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui clearly felt that the vengeful spirit's malice towards him had lessened somewhat.
He then got to the point.
"I hope you can kill the Dragon King."
"But your plan doesn't take into account other external factors, making the probability of failure too high."
"To be honest, I hope you will act according to my plan."
Shisui speculates that this direct statement of disapproval without offering any truly useful advice will likely provoke rebuttals.
"I refuse."
The Wraith Species's answer was exactly what Shisui had expected.
Then, Shisui continued.
"I understand your determination to carry out your revenge yourself, so I won't force you to abandon your plan."
"But this is too unfair to me, the one who provided the funding."
Shisui waved the Dragon King Clone, which was controlled by Rc Cells, at his side. "So, why don't we take a gamble?"
"I'll provide you with assistance to implement your plan. If you win, I'll have eliminated my enemy, so it's a win-win situation."
"But if you lose, you will obey my orders and act according to my plan."
A betting agreement that appears to have fairly and amicably favorable terms for both parties.
The Wraith Species had no reason to refuse.
I will not become a tool you can use at will.
The vengeful spirit, subconsciously sensing something amiss, proposed adding clauses to the agreement.
"Certainly."
Shisui agreed without hesitation, which put the vengeful spirit at ease.
I agree.
Both parties carefully confirmed the specific details of the funding and added some minor restrictions.
Apart from the failed assassination attempt by the vengeful spirit and the specific details of the plan that Shisui was to arrange, the agreement basically covered everything.
A moment later, the Soul Contract was signed.
The name Shisui appeared on the vengeful spirit's soul.
Meanwhile, a small group of Banshee Sea Demon's resentment entangled the Shisui soul.
Violating the terms of the agreement will result in anything from a drop in cultivation level to immediate death.
Both sides will be satisfied with this.
Now, Shisui must fulfill the funding obligations stipulated in the agreement.
After extracting the soul fragments of the Dragon King Clone and refining its magma body into Flesh Crystals, the avatar was transformed into a crystallized form.
Shisui Sui promptly handed everything to his new business partner.
Seeing that the other party readily accepted it and immediately began absorbing it, Shisui Sui's expression remained completely unchanged.
The agreement stipulates that no grant may include items that are intended to harm the recipient.
Shisui and keeps his promises.
He simply wanted to ensure his partner's safety, so he added some dormant Rc Cells.
