"Isn’t this a bit too risky?"
Seeing the Capricorn Director looking worried after exchanging ideas with the Scorpio Director, the young Angel couldn’t help but press her hand lightly against her chest and furrow her brows:
"Khesi, I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy, as if pressuring them like this is extrely dangerous..."
Dangerous?
The Thousand-eyed Angel pondered for a mont after hearing this, then shook his head:
"Given the power they’ve displayed, even if they hand over the Original Sin Demon Gods, they can still hold their own against the two pillar gods of the Slaughter King Association and preserve those ’lifespans’ without much issue. So, the demands I’ve presented shouldn’t be beyond their capacity to accept.
Including the Capricorn Director who appears calm but is actually quite angry... Even though he firmly refuses on the surface, his response tells he’s figuring out how to persuade the Aquarius Director. There’s more than a seventy percent chance my conditions will be accepted.
And even if he chooses the thirty percent, we still hold enough powerful cards—no matter if he brings all the demons from the Abyss Hundred Prisons, the ultimate victor will certainly be us!"
"But..."
"There’s no ’but’."
Interrupting the young Angel, the Thousand-eyed Angel calmly continued:
"Under the current circumstances, there’s a seventy percent chance they’ll agree. Once the Aquarius Director, known for conquering the Abyss, cos, a little concession from us will raise the chance of cooperation to ninety percent or even higher.
The importance of contributing decades of ’lifespan’ to the entire human race is beyond what we immortals can comprehend, so my ’Wisdom’ concludes that if that Aquarius Director is rational, he’ll surely accept the terms of mutual compromise."
"Khesi, I’m not questioning your ’Wisdom’."
Shaking her head helplessly, the young Angel said with worry:
"I’m just concerned whether this anxiety lingering in my heart is a warning from ’Destiny’..."
"As you said, it’s just your suspicion; your ’Destiny’ hasn’t actually reacted."
Glancing... glancing at the thousand-eyed young Angel, the Thousand-eyed Angel stated unwaveringly:
"Follow ’Destiny’s’ guidance when there’s an indication;
Listen to ’Wisdom’s’ judgnt when ’Destiny’ remains silent;
And rely on ’Power’ to move forward when even ’Wisdom’ cannot see ahead."
After reciting this age-old motto as ancient as Heavenly Mountain, the Thousand-eyed Angel continued serenely:
"We’ve always followed this path, always made the right decisions to reach the present, and can continue making the right choices to go further.
Since your ’Destiny’ chooses to remain silent, let my ’Wisdom’ make the call, and if ’Wisdom’ doesn’t provide a correct answer, we’ll rely on Oya’s ’Power’ to back us up."
Upon hearing her na from the Thousand-eyed Angel, the Angel of Strength at the end of the line of nine angels looked up, brimming with confidence, and flashed a grin, then clenched three of her six fists, making a gesture showcasing her strength.
"Don’t worry, I’m here."
"..."
The issue isn’t whether you’re here or not... Seriously, could you stop smiling?
Glimpsing Oya’s "greasy" smile, which she could never get used to no matter how many tis she’s seen it, the young Angel couldn’t help but slightly lift her shoulders and then said with so resignation:
"I’m just a bit worried... that solitary Aquarius Director who wiped clean the Abyss and captured all the Original Sin Demon Gods—what if he fears we’ll side with the Slaughter King Association and chooses to make the first move directly?"
"Even if that happens, the final victor will surely be us."
Clad lightly in veils, the Dream Angel spoke softly:
"We’ve just used the negotiations as an opportunity to glimpse the Capricorn Director’s mory, and considering the mory after the Gluttonous Demon God fell asleep, it’s likely that the Aquarius Director has so thod to forcibly control demons, relying on the Original Sin Demon Gods’ carelessness to ambush them and achieve this feat.
As for himself... While the Aquarius Director is indeed remarkable, his thods are simply strange and possess many peculiar abilities, nothing that’s inherently unbeatable."
"Moreover, his thods should only work on demons, not angels, which is why he painstakingly established the Ang Shen religion, contaminating our people into purple-skinned half-demons for easier control, an act absolutely unacceptable to us."
Adding this statent, the Thousand-eyed Angel continued sternly:
"Though there hasn’t been direct contact with the Aquarius Director, my ’Wisdom’ warns he might not be as gentle as in Capricorn Director’s mory.
The real him likely harbors boundless ambition, an arrogance that seeks to rise above all others, wrath aiming to overturn everything, and the desire to personally control the world... This human is exceedingly dangerous, and we must make plans early!"
"Oh?"
The young Angel was montarily stunned by the words, then continued with wide eyes:
"That Aquarius Director... is he truly so evil? He seems like a pretty decent person in Capricorn Director’s mory?"
"Amra, you’re mistaken. His danger isn’t about evil nor related to morality and character; it’s exclusively tied to his mindset."
Closing his thousand eyes, carefully reviewing the information obtained from Capricorn Director’s mory, the Thousand-eyed Angel spoke with apprehension:
"This person holds an almost obsessive confidence in his ideology, and once he pairs it with matching capability, he will certainly attempt to execute his vision.
Since he joined the cleaning bureau, anyone opposing him, doubting his ideas, or obstructing his actions has either faced issues or temporarily left the current world, showcasing his stubbornness and assertiveness... Amra!"
Calling to the young Angel once more, the Thousand-eyed Angel opened his eyes, with his brows tightly knitted:
"Let ask you, if you were him, how would you act?"
"If I were him? You an..."
"I an, imagine needing unmatched strength to suppress any dissent and fulfill your vision; you possess the ability to control demons, with even a touch making all demons obedient;
Additionally, you hold thods to transform angels into demons, just one step away from converting the entire Heavenly Mountain, placing the Abyss and heaven beneath your feet, obtaining the power to overpower all opposition...
Amra, you tell , if you were this person, what would you do?"
