444 Deal (1/2)
Laka smiled playfully and then showed 4 tokens. Seeing them, Laex immediately got shocked.
”You! How did you get this many tokens?”
Laka laughed out loud.
”You were right to say that the Uelin Universe did their best to get me a slot. But it wasn't only for me but all the remaining Heavenly Fragment owners. At first, they didn't know if the Battle for the Heavenly Fragments would finish fast enough or if it would even finish. After all, the Uelin Universe is controlled by more than a single faction.”
”Because of that, they got a total of 4 slots. Each faction was expecting to send their own Heavenly Fragment Owners inside. Perhaps, the Heavenly Divine Soul would be born during that time. But who could have guessed that due to some agreement between all parties, the battle would be carried over earlier? In the end, other than my own token, I also got the other three.”
Laex couldn't help but ask.
”But how exactly did you convince them to give the other three? As far as I know, each one of them is extremely valuable. There is no doubt that those factions in your Universe lost a layer of skin for these tokens.”
Laka shrugged his shoulders and said.
”That was part of the agreement back then, and all factions were more than happy to accept it. After all, as long as their Heavenly Fragment Owner was victorious, they would be the ones getting these tokens. As for why I'm the one holding them, that is because I demanded it.”
The others got curious.
”Demanded it?”
Laka nodded.
”Since I will be the Heavenly Divine Soul Owner for the next few Chaos Cycles, I obviously had to use the power of this position. I simply told them that I want to be the one to select the users of these tokens. Anyway, as valuable as they might be, the extra three tokens were not bought by the faction supporting me. Thanks to that, I was able to convince them.”
”At first, I was intending to sell them, but a Purple Flame Dragon Pearl is way more valuable than anything I could use at my current level.”
Krune then decided to warn him.
”I have never tried to make a Dragon Pearl Before. Also, I don't know if the Purple Flame Effect will work on it. Even if it works, I can't guarantee that it will be a good thing. Since you already know so much about my Purple Flame Equipments, you definitely understand that it is a tyrannical power. Are you willing to go ahead with this trade regardless?”
Laka nodded.
”Just the chance is already enough. If such a Dragon Pearl falls on my hands, I will probably be able to get one of the Dalin Universe's five seats during the next Heavenly Competition. You definitely know just how vital such a position is for a Universe as a whole.”
”Very well.”
Krune then looked at everyone and said.
”Now, we just need to decide who are going to use those three extra tokens.”
Laka shook his head.
