Chapter 948
Shang remained silent for a while.
Abaddon also didn''t say anything.
Nearly half a minute passed.
"Tell me," Shang said.
"I''m sorry, but | can''t," Abaddon answered. "You need to understand that | can''t put all my trust in you. Trusting someone like you
would be just as stupid as trusting someone like me."Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
“Okay, what''s your n?" Shang asked.
"First, | use my influence to give you a chance to win at the grand tournament," Abaddon said. "Then, we are going to fight at the
Mage Emperor tournament."
m going to lose in the battle and concede. Before any of the other Emperors can do anything, mother will hand you the
Inheritor Sphere, and you will absorb it to reach the Ninth Realm immediately."
"The other Emperors will immediately attack. They don''t care that you have won. They are going to try to kill you regardless."
"The Lightning Emperor, mother, and | are going to fight the other Mage Emperors."
“Lam going to kill one and get my Mana. We will both reach the Ninth Realm and with the Lightning Emperor helping us, the
Archivist won''t get out."
"We kill the Mage Emperors and be Gods. Mother and the Lightning Emperor will survive, and | will destroy the world.
Mother, you, and | willprehend the level six Concept of Death. | resurrect the world toprehend the level six Concept of
Life."
"Then, we leave and search for a greater world.”
"That''s my n."
Shang remained silent for a while.
“What about the Abominations?" Shang asked.
"| don''t care," Abaddon said. "As long as you keep them at bay until | get a chance to resurrect the world, | don''t care. You can go
destroy it after that if you want. Who knows, maybe we can learn even more by witnessing that?"
Shang thought for a while about everything.
He had noticed several things during his talk with Abaddon.
Abaddon referred to his father with his name, but he referred to his mother as mother.
Abaddon knew that Shang was the Child of Cmity, but there was something even more surprising.
Abaddon had said that Shang would alsoprehend the level six Concept of Death.
This meant that Abaddon knew that Shang had a Death Affinity.
It was almost like Abaddon knew all of Shang''s secrets.
Sure enough, Abaddon was an extremely terrifying person.
Even more, Shang wasn''t certain whether or not Abaddon was lying.
The n sounded extremely beneficial for both of them, and it was very logical.
It wouldn''t be stupid to believe Abaddon.
However, the best lies were those that gave a perfect exnation.
What if the Inheritor Sphere had been tampered with by the Empress of Death, and when Shang tried to absorb it, he died?
There were several points in the n in which Shang could get betrayed.
But just following the n would also result in the best-case scenario.
Abaddon was as far away from trustworthy as it got, but his n was basically perfect.
Yet, Shang also knew that he didn''t seem any more trustworthy than Abaddon.
Abaddon trusting Shang should be just as hard as Shang trusting Abaddon.
Which meant impossible.
It was obvious that neither of the two would trust the other, and both knew that.
Both of them could only trust the other when they were in an advantageous position that would give them the victory if the other
decided to betray them.
Surprisingly enough, Abaddon gave most of the advantages to Shang in the n.
‘This probably means that he has several contingency ns that he hasn''t told me. He probably has a way to deal with me any
time | might decide to betray him.’
"He might not even need me to be a Mage Emperor. It''s possible that he has a way to be a Mage Emperor
immediately if he chooses to."
‘Why take the risk to allow me to be powerful enough to be a threat?’
The purple-haired girl just looked at Shang with a friendly smile.
Shang just focused on her.
And then, the Life Mana emanating from her body vanished.
Shang''s heart nearly stopped.
BOOOOOOOOO0O00000M!
An apocalyptic explosion of pure Death Mana came out of the purple-haired girl, tearing her apart.
Shang waspletely consumed by the explosion, and he felt the Death Mana prate his mind and attach to his soul.
Shang''s mind wasn''t even able to give themand to use his Domain of Entropy before the Death Mana started to consume
his soul.
At this moment, Shang felt like beings from the afterlife were trying to pull him toward them.
It was like their ws buried themselves into Shang''s body and mind as they kept screaming and pulling at him.
Shang was in immense pain, even for him.
Shang felt himself getting torn apart again and again.
He was vanishing.
His mind was weakening.
He couldn''t feel his body anymore.
He was dying.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the barrier of the Attack g exploded with Death Mana.
The Death Mana was so incredibly dense and powerful that not even the Attack g could contain it, and the Death Mana
flooded into the surrounding 300,000 kilometers, killing everything it touched.
The Mage Kingsughed victoriously as the Lightning Emperor narrowed his eyes.
BANG!
Several huge lightning bolts attacked the Death Mana, but it was so powerful and dense that the Lightning Emperor actually
needed nearly an entire second to get rid of it.
The Lightning Emperor''s mind fell into a sea of fear and anxiety as he saw Shang''s body lying on the ground.
The Death Mana had been so dense that only Abaddon or Kali could have done this!
Shang was powerful, but the Lightning Emperor doubted that he could resist such a powerful attack. On top of that, this kind of
Death Mana was targeting the soul, and Shang''s soul was his weakness.
The Lightning Emperor saw that Shang was still alive, but it was like his longevity had run out.
Shang was so close to dying!
The Lightning Emperor immediately took hold of him and brought him to his library as the enemy Mage Kings keptughing.
