Chapter 160: Ray patriotic to Mother Earth?
Mallory fell to the ground, her knees touching the ground. Her body trembled in disbelief.
"You can make a celestial being run away....."
She spoke with quivering lips.
"Yeah, I can." Ray casually replied with a smile on his face, "So, do you have another alternative you were looking for?"
Mallory felt a strange shiver down her back. This was their greatest trump card.
She had prepared the two guards just to summon that beast and instantly gain Celestial level combat power, although this wasn't actually sustainable as the beast can only be summoned for an hour, then it would go back to its own realm.
While the immortal snake was their true goal, gradually controlling it and growing to planetary level for it to fight against Mother Earth even if there was a slither of hope.
From the being that she had contracted with, it said that Mother was in a very weak state, and it was estimated that she could even be killed by peak celestial level, so there was still a glimmer of hope for her, but now all her perception has turned into utter garbage.
She looked at Ray with realisation dawning in her mind: "He is even more terrifying than mother earth."
"What are you thinking about?" Ray chuckled as he looked at the distance with meaningful eyes. "Are you waiting for that little snake in the ocean to come and save you? That will only be a dream for you guys, haha."
If Ray knew what was going on in Mallory's head, then he would laugh even more; after all, in a way, he is really more terrifying than this mother earth after all he has done it with her already.
Although she was only a shell and inside her was Mother Earth, it could still be considered him doing the deed.
Besides, Ray was very confident that inside Elaria, Mother Earth was in a very weak state; if she unseals herself one day, who would win in a fight was still unknown.
With the various Trump cards of Ray, these things were still unknown, and he had at least the confidence that he could survive and even kill her if things came to be, even if, in the worst-case scenario, Ray could take her with him.
Ray was also constantly growing; he has had the time to allocate his mutation energy yet; when he does, then things would be different, way different.
"The immortal snake..." Mallory looked in the direction that Ray was looking and instinctively muttered.
"Ray, how about you join us?"
"Me, joining you?" Ray pointed at himself with a little stunned expression, "Isn't it too late for that?"
"In front of interest, enemies could turn into allies, and allies could turn into enemies; the only thing that matters in the world is interest." Mallory spoke with the corner of her lips gradually turning upward, especially when she saw the silent Ray. Confidence came from the bottom of her heart.
"Isn't our enmity because one of your women died while the military attacked?" Mallory calmly said, "What if I tell you that we can revive her?"
Ray looked at Mallor with a clueless expression. "Are you worthy?" he said, a simple sentence that made her brows twitch.
"Is he dumb?" Since she said "we," Ray should have at least had a clue that she was not alone and there should be people behind her, but he looked as dumb as fuck, which annoyed her mind.
"I can't utter that being's name since I am in a contract."
Mallory gritted her teeth inwardly but didn't dare show any hostility to Ray himself.
"Lord Ray, I have a huge power backing me, one that is far beyond your imagination. While I have come here on a mission, if you join us, then you will get enormous power. If you don't and kill me, you will be the enemy of that great power. So what will you choose?"
No matter what Ray had the initiative now, Mallory considered herself a smart person and would never make him mad after all the fate of her life depended on it.
"Is that so?" Ray narrowed his eyes with an amused smile. "Is this great power you speak of a planetary being?"
Mallory was completely calm without a movement: "The great one's power is not something that a mere mortal could name it."
"Is that so?" Ray touched his chin as if he were tempted by the offer, but then he casually pointed his finger towards her. "So could I see this planetary being of Mars?"
"Eh?"
Mallory was stunned for a moment; her very being seemed to tremble as she faced her head towards Ray with sheer terror.
"Can I?"
Ray chuckled, his eyes turning sharp and filled with a terrifying killing intent.
The surroundings suddenly felt heavy, and Mallory found it even harder to breathe.
Swords formed of air itself hung in the sky; their figure could barely be seen, all pointed towards Mallory; however, the pressure it caused made her heart palpitate.
"Can I?" Ray was about to swipe his hand in a downward motion, ending his life as a whole, while a sneer formed in his face.
Then he swiped downward in one quick motion as the colour of Mallory's face turned pale.
In an instant, she was skewered in place with countless swords penetrating her; in an instant, blood splattered everywhere in a gruesome sight.
There was no way he would shake hands with his enemies, even if they could revive Aurora, but does that mean they wouldn't fail safe just to control him?
There was absolutely no possible way for him and them to be sincere, and Ray has no idea about it.
With his cheat, he was at least confident he could reach the planet, even if he couldn't use that trump.
Ray shook his head with a sigh, "If you had been honest, I could have let you live."
At this time, a beam of dark light shot from Mallory's body towards the sky, and then right in front of Ray, her body seemed to slowly revive itself.
The countless holes made by the sword started to heal, and everything seemed to revert back to normal as if time itself were being reversed.
Her cold eyes looked at Ray with a piercing gaze.
"You monkeys are fascinating creatures."
Ray paused; his eyes squirted at her with raised brows.
"I am a fascinating creature and monkey." Ray pointed at himself as a smile appeared in front of him.
He shot forward, then, with one motion, grabbed her by the neck.
"Variant of the monkey, do you truly wish to make an eternal enemy of me?"
"Yes."
Ray snickered: "But I want to ask you another question as well."
"And what is that?" Mallory tilted her head as if she couldn't feel Ray's grip on her neck.
"Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
Ray spoke lightly.
Mallory paused as if she were stunned before she started to laugh and laugh to the point that a tear seemed to come from her eyes.
"Variant monkey, you are fascinating. You shall die when I take over this planet. You are lucky our father has not allowed us to go into battle phase; otherwise, you would have already died. This girl is truly useless."
"I see," Ray nodded his head. "Do you know why I didn't join you guys?"
"Why?" The voice had some confusion in its tone.
"Because I am patriotic towards Earth, Earth is the reason we are able to live in this world even if it is trying to destroy us; it is like a mother's anger." Ray lightly spoke while muttering in his heart, "It's definitely not because I am interested in this mother earth; I wonder what I will get if I do it with her."
"Variant Monkey, you will pay for this with your life."
After uttering these words, Mallory closed her eyes and seemed to fall asleep with Ray's grip still on her.
Ray slightly loosened his grip, and after a short time, Mallory slowly moved her body, immediately trembling and failing around in the air.
"Nooo…."
She cried out loud. "Don't kill me."
"Tell me one reason, why?" Ray coldly muttered.
"I can do anything you want; please, I beg you, I want to live." Mallory suddenly felt the arms that tightened around her loosen, then she fell to the ground.
"Why should I let you live?" Ray asked with a merciless tone.
"The contract... yeah, the contract has been removed now so I can tell you all I know; don't you want to know the future, and I can even tell you about my abilities as well as whether I can be your woman."
She shuttered.
"I don't need a woman like you; the most you could be will be my slave."
"I am willing." Mallory immediately bowed to the ground, humiliation deep within her heart, but even greater than that was death.
Unless one is on the cusp of death, they don't know the fear of death itself.
