After hearing Black Widow's words, Su Yi asked without changing expression, "Hundred Ghosts said you begged the Goddess of Black Cinders for mercy before. Looks like it was true."
Black Widow's expression did not change. "We both know what's going on. There's no need to play dumb."
"I investigated your identity and background long ago."
"My master does want to bring you into the fold, but don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"As you said, I possess some of the Goddess of Black Cinders' Divine Authority. I know far more than those other fools."
A faint smile touched Su Yi's lips. "Then what do you want, Ms. Black Widow?"
Black Widow raised a hand and slowly curled her fingers into a fist. "All I want is to survive."
"After everything you've been through, you should understand how mad and cruel this universe truly is."
"Now that the Redstone Empire and the Molten Alliance have entered the fight together, the Shadow King's fall is only a matter of time."
"Countless eyes across the universe are watching this Godslayer War."
"I don't want to be sacrificed. I want to live!"
She spoke with absolute seriousness. A rare sincerity appeared in her cruel, unfathomable eyes.
Of course, Su Yi would not simply take her at her word.
A woman like her could tell three lies in a single breath.
Even when she spoke one truth, she would try to tuck six lies around it.
Su Yi did not answer hastily. Instead, he asked casually, "Then why come to me?"
"Because you're strong," Black Widow said.
She extended a hand. "We can work together."
"Through certain special means, I saw what you did just now."
"Your overall combat strength may not match my master's, but you're several leagues above every other Demigod."
