A Contract with [The God of Betrayal] Othinus, Each with Their Own Agenda

But that was a last resort, and Chen Luo didn't want to use it if he could.

"No problem." Othinus nodded.

LOL, you want a Norse god of betrayal to sign a contract? Of course I'd agree to it.

But let's sign first and then have the other party help us create the God's Spear.

Although the other party doesn't seem to have the ability to create the God's Spear right now, the confidence in his words is enough to make Othinus believe him.

Besides, it's not like Othinus couldn't create the God's Spear himself.

If he can't, then he'll just have to continue with his own plans.

But that would cause a lot of trouble.

Moreover, the plan is full of variables.

"Alright, let's sign the contract first, then discuss the God's Spear," Chen Luo said, taking out the Book of Contracts.

"...I've changed my mind." After walking up to Chen Luo and staring at Chen Luo's Book of Contracts for a while, Othinus said decisively.

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"It means I don't want to sign the contract anymore." Othinus looked at the Book of Contracts in front of Chen Luo with a look of disgust.

Why?

"To be honest... I'm not confident I can break the contract I signed in this book. It's amazing you could come up with something like this." Othinus looked at Chen Luo with displeasure, and also at the Book of Contracts with equal displeasure.

"Sigh..." Kan Luo sighed.

"And why are you sighing?" Othinus asked.

"I originally planned to trick you into signing the contract before you discovered Book of Contracts special nature, and then when you wanted to back out, you wouldn't be able to."

If Othinus, as a demon god, looks down on the Book of Contracts, and the Book of Contracts can indeed bind Othinus, then this round will be a resounding victory.

However, Othinus seemed to have noticed the unique nature of the Book of Contracts. He didn't even wait for Chen Luo to tear a piece of paper from the Book of Contracts to write the contract before deciding not to sign it.

This demon god is something else.

Also, the Book of Contracts is really interesting.

A contract that even the Demon God acknowledges.

"..."

"..."

"As expected, you had ulterior motives from the start." ×2

Chen Luo and Othinus said in unison.

"... Where did I have ill intentions? It was you who had ill intentions, okay? You were thinking of breaking the contract before you even signed it!" Chen Luo refused to admit that she had ill intentions.

Chen Luo only wanted him to stop destroying the world.

What did Chen Luo do wrong?

"Let's change the terms."

"No change," Chen Luo said firmly.

In any case, Chen Luo would never allow the other party to successfully destroy the world because of his help.

If this attempt to destroy the world actually results in its destruction, Chen Luo cannot bear the responsibility.

"Goodbye." Othinus turned and left.

Othinus wasn't without other ways to complete the God's Spear.

Othinus saw through the other's desire to protect the world, even though the other wouldn't be affected even if the world were destroyed, but this person was just so stubborn.

Just as one wants to reclaim their own world, the other is also protecting their own world.

Such a person deserves respect, but you can't change them.

But Othinus was very unhappy.

"Hey, wait, wait, it's not like we can't talk about it. Why are you walking so fast?" Chen Luo quickly called out to Othinus.

"Hmm, you've changed your mind? Tell me, what do you want?" Othinus stopped and turned to look at Chen Luo.

Okay, I misjudged him. This person may not be as resilient as I thought, nor does he have any inviolable bottom line.

"How about we change the contract and have both parties add their own conditions?" Chen Luo said.

"What are the conditions?"

"I can give you the God's Spear, but you cannot destroy the world. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Let's put the conditions aside for now and play a game of chess first."

"Playing chess? What does that have to do with the conditions you discussed?"

"But that determines what conditions I will propose," Chen Luo said.

Then Chen Luo took out a chess set.

Although any game will eventually turn into Gomoku, the proper sense of ritual should still be maintained.

Chapter 654 The Hidden Pact with Othinus, the God of Betrayal

"Now that you've won, can you state your terms? My patience is running out." Othinus said, glancing at the chessboard before him.

Othinus felt as if he had lost too quickly, but he didn't know exactly what went wrong.

"I'll give you the God's Spear. You can destroy the world if you want, but first you have to beat me at chess. How about it? What do you think of this proposal? As long as you beat me at chess, the contract won't be able to bind you, and my strength is no match for yours, so you can destroy the world as you please."

After confirming that Half a Catty of Chess Supremacy could also be effective against the Demon God, Chen Luo made the following request to Othinus.

"No." But the request that Chen Luo had made with great confidence was directly rejected by Othinus.

"Sigh, why? It's just a game of chess."

"Kid, don't underestimate the intuition of a demon god. Perhaps, just like my chances of success and failure are 50/50 right now, you should also have a concept similar to winning at chess, right?" Othinus said with a frown.

"Emmm... I miscalculated. As expected of a demon god, I shouldn't have been so arrogant." Chen Luo sighed.

However, it was impossible not to experiment, since this was a matter of world destruction. How could Chen Luo feel at ease without being certain?

"Hmph, stop with the schemes and tricks. You can't fool me. Tell me a realistic wish: money, power, strength, women?"

"I'm interested in all of these, but none of them are the most important. Since we One Sight Like Old Friends it off immediately, I'll ask for something else: hide-and-seek."

"Hide and seek?"

"That's right. If you want to destroy the world, you'll have to beat me at hide-and-seek. I don't have any concept of being able to win at hide-and-seek, really," Chen Luo said earnestly.

"Goodbye."

"If you're going to leave, I'll summon Gabriel and have Gabriel report you to the gods. I don't believe the other demons will ignore your extreme idea of destroying the world. Even if they don't stop me from setting up a global broadcast for you, I don't believe your God's Spear can continue to be forged!"

"Besides, are you really that insecure? As long as you beat me in hide-and-seek, as long as you can guarantee you won't find me within three hours, that counts as your victory," Chen Luo said stubbornly.

"Then I need you to give me the God's Spear first," Othinus said after a moment's thought.

Whether Chen Luo's threats are effective or not is another matter, but they will certainly create a lot of trouble for him.

Moreover, once he obtains the God's Spear, if Chen Luo dares to leave this bar, even the gods cannot protect him.

The God's Spear will kill you.

"No way. What if you kill me with the God's Spear? Besides, when I said hide-and-seek, I meant you had to find me. The God's Spear has a location tracking function." Chen Luo shook his head frantically.

"Stop talking nonsense. When I say hide-and-seek, I mean you have to find me. And you have to give me the God's Spear first. In return, you can add other conditions." Othinus sat down opposite Chen Luo and began to bargain.

"Seriously? Your conditions are way too demanding. I'm good at hiding from people, but I'm not good at finding them... Although I do have the ability to find people, it doesn't seem to be of any use to you." Chen Luo said, looking at the elusive, almost broken Fate Threads between himself and the other person.

"In short, this is my final bottom line, and if you dare to make those threats you just mentioned, you will face the wrath of the demon god," Othinus sneered.

"Then, then I'll extend the time I spend looking for you to one day," Chen Luo said after a moment's hesitation.

"Sure. Whether you seek help from angels or from some god, it's up to you."

Othinus was so confident because his opponent possessed a special Spirit Gear —the bone ship.

This is a Spirit Gear shaped like a straight bone. It can freely change size and can cross any ocean in the world in an instant.

It can travel to any corner of the world, although there may be some errors sometimes.

Moreover, don't underestimate a demon god who can unleash his full power.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing the deal for the God's Spear, shouldn't we talk about its price?"

"Sure. What do you want?" Othinus was not at all surprised that Chen Luo had asked for an extra price.

The original discussion was about whether or not Othinus should use the God's Spear to wreak havoc on the world.

Rather than the price of the God's Spear itself.

"First, if I win at hide-and-seek, you have to help me every time I win. Of course, this will probably only happen if I can't beat you in a fight, and I won't choose a demon god as your opponent."

"Secondly, I need a large amount of energy crystals, any kind of energy will do. Magic Crystal are preferred, but simple magic sources will also be fine."

"Can."

"Third, you can come to the bar when you're in the mood. Of course, it's not mandatory."

"No problem."

All three conditions were within Othinus's acceptable range.

As long as it's not a demon god, I, with the God's Spear, can definitely crush it.

Besides, whether the other party can win is another matter.

Magic Crystal or magic sources are relatively easy to obtain.

Othinus, as a demon god, is a top-tier Magus.

These things still exist, and even if they didn't, they could still be made.

"Let's sign the contract then." Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief after agreeing on the terms this time.

During the signing of the contract, fearing that the Norse god of betrayal might cause some trouble, Chen Luo directly summoned Yakumo Yukari.

Patchouli is also there.

Under the watchful eyes of the three people, Chen Luo began to write the contract haltingly.

The main content is as follows.

Chen Luo handed over the God's Spear, which would satisfy Othinus, but Othinus could not destroy the world until he won the game of hide-and-seek with Chen Luo.

[In this game of hide-and-seek, Othinus is in charge of hiding, and Chen Luo is in charge of finding.]

If they fail at hide-and-seek, Othinus will have to fight for Chen Luo for free.

[At the other party's strong request, and with their agreement, the game of hide-and-seek can be re-applied for.]

[Othinus lost. Othinus cannot destroy the world. Even if it does, the world must be restored. In addition, every time Othinus loses to Chen Luo, he must grant Chen Luo one request.]

Chen Luo lost; the contract could not stop Othinus from destroying and reshaping the world.

This application opportunity can be seen as an extra layer of insurance for both parties.

After all, there's a chance to start over.

"When can I have the God's Spear?" Othinus asked after signing the contract.

This time, the price for signing the contract was paid by Othinus.

Because the price of forcibly signing a contract with a demon god is really high, so high that even Chen Luo felt the pain.

Othinus paid with the Divine Power.

"Don't rush, let me ask you first, are you satisfied with that golden phantom spear from earlier?" Chen Luo asked.

"It's barely usable, but not satisfactory." Othinus frowned and shook his head.

"Well, your requirements are quite high. Here's what we'll do: Patchouli, remember to call Remi up when you go down."
