"Set, do as you suggested."
The King of Negativity said, "Let's make a deal. You sacrifice yourself to save Black Dragon and the others, and I will place a strand of core authority into the new Scripted World created by The Intermediary.
"But if your rescue fails—even if you fail to save just one of them—the deal will be void. Also, if we win this time, the deal will likewise be void."
"No problem. That's settled. Let's sign a Contract."
Set smiled. For something this important, they naturally had to sign a Contract. What if the other party went back on their word otherwise? The Mechanical Demon King had laid out such a grand scheme. If Set messed it up, would he still be able to follow him in the future?
"Sign a Contract? Fine, we'll sign one, but I'll need some time to examine it carefully."
The King of Negativity said this because these old bastards were all extremely crafty. He had to carefully check whether there were any issues with the Contract's terms, or he would not even know when he got tricked.
"Don't worry. I'm not one of those cunning Demon Kings of Hell, much less the evil Chthon. I'm Set. I never tamper with Contracts."
Set spoke with a righteous expression. Of course, that was... a lie. Nonsense—what Time Demon God would not tamper with a Contract? If there really was one, it had to be a righteous god in disguise.

"Heh heh."
Naturally, the King of Negativity was not foolish enough to believe Set. Set then took out the agreement. Only after examining it carefully
