Chapter 27
"I heard that your fiancée is very beautiful, do you like her?"
The World of Truth suddenly remembered something and asked.
"I don't like her, and she doesn't like me either.
She has made up her mind to become a nun, and no one can stop her. She said she would rather be alone for the rest of her life than be with me, because I didn't like her at first sight.
His family originally wanted to send another young lady to my harem, but I don't need it, so I refused. They were afraid of making me angry, so they didn't mention it again.
There were also people who wanted to make friends with me early like their family did, but after seeing the situation, they felt that they couldn't act rashly, so they didn't say much.
They should be glad that they made such a choice, otherwise I will let them know what it means to go astray.
I need time more than ever now, because the time before was just used for study and rest, and now I have time to do it . More things to do.
If I have to be distracted, I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish any of them.
Don't worry, no one here will cause you trouble, because now there is no one above me in the entire palace.
If anyone dares to cause you trouble, you can tell me directly, I won't be polite to them.
They should know that you are my only best friend. The people around me knew this before, but they were replaced.
It was the Queen and His Majesty the King who ordered the purge of the people around me.
They succeeded in giving me another reason to dislike them.
But now there are new people around me, it's better to use them and teach them new things, and it's not all harm. "
Araki smiled after explaining to the world of truth.
"Then how did you make your fiancée and her family accept the fact that you would lose your temper at their engagement party?"
The world of truth asked curiously.
"At first they knew nothing, and later they only knew some things, not everything. I can't tell them everything.
They have to accept it even if they don't want to.
Because in the eyes of everyone, they are already my people, part of my power. If my business doesn't succeed, they must be a feather among the clipped wings."
Araki felt happy when he thought of the surprised expressions on the faces of the uninformed people at the engagement party, and smiled at the world of truth.
The world of truth asked: "You said that what you said to me before counts, so does it count if you help me?"
Araki nodded.
"If I want you to help me, I need you to give everything you have, will you still be willing to help me?"
asked the world of truth.
"Since I promised you, I shouldn't regret it. What's more, you don't ask me to do such a thing now."
Araki said.
"I am not saying this to you because it hasn't happened yet, but it's not because it will never happen. If you just want to make a verbal promise, then there's no need for us to continue talking."
The World of Truth said.
"But what kind of thing would require such a huge price? If you don't explain it clearly, I don't know anything at all. How can I promise to help you without knowing it?
That would be irresponsible to me, you, and everything I have.
Because now I am not just myself, I have enough power to control a country.
If I promise you and give you everything I have to help you, then are my rights and the entire country and its subjects controlled by my rights included in this promise?"
Araki asked seriously.
"I really hope you can just agree to me and not ask anything else. But I thought about it, if you really don't ask anything, you might agree to me and then do nothing.
I don't want to tell you the truth, but if you want to know, I can tell you everything I know, as long as you believe me.
If you don't believe me, everything I say is nonsense, and not a single word will work. I don't want to talk to you when I think of that possibility.
But since you asked, how can I not tell you?
You are right, since you promised me to agree to me and help me, I should tell you everything that happened."
The World of Truth laid the groundwork for a long time.
Finally, he took a deep breath.
"It won't be long before a monster breaks through the barriers between regions and comes here to kill everyone here as a sacrifice to summon a powerful god underground and under the sea.
That god is so powerful that when he appears, the surrounding land will turn salty and alkaline, the sky will darken, the wind will be strong, the trees will break, the grass will wither, and organisms will grow tumors. You don't want to see that terrible doomsday-like landscape.
Neither do I, so I came to find you.
I need your help, as long as you promise me that you will help me with all your strength, so that when I face that monster, at least I will not die after just one look.
Only by surviving can we think of ways, more ways to solve all problems, and solve that monster, which is the culprit.
The end of the world will come one day, but in order to delay that day or make that day disappear directly, we should do something, anything, as long as it is useful.
The only way I can think of, or the only way I know, is to pass through the barriers of each area and find the person with the most powerful power in this area.
Get their help and affirmation.
As long as you promise me, I will have enough power to solve the problems brought by the monster.
This all seems like a fantasy, doesn't it?
I don't expect you to believe everything I say right away. I have said this, but please think about it carefully. This is something that cannot be missed.
I did not lie to you, nor did I want to deceive you. If we miss this opportunity, we will all die. No one will be spared.
I don't want that to happen, and I don't want to live to see that happen to me. I believe you don't want that either.
At least on this point in this matter, our hearts are the same.
How long do you need to think about it?
Or is there something you don't understand?
I don't want to explain this to anyone, but if you want to know, I will tell you everything I know. "
The World of Truth said sincerely.
"My friend, I really want to believe you, but everything you said is too incredible. Obviously, you yourself are also able to realize this, so I won't elaborate.
I just need time to think about it. If you can give me enough time, maybe I can really consider a result that we can both accept.
But if time is not enough, then I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to cause that result, but I don't have the ability to predict. I can't know what will happen in the future.
I only know that I have to carefully choose an opportunity about the future now. I hope you can understand my feelings.
I'm a little confused now. I don't mean to target you, but is it really possible that what you said will happen?
Why do you know so clearly? Have you experienced it? Or something told you? Do you have evidence to prove that those things will definitely happen?
You have to know that if this kind of thing is leaked, it will definitely cause great panic. I don’t want to deal with such troublesome and terrible things when I just took office.
If this kind of thing is known to others, I must find a way to convince them, otherwise they will definitely think to the other extreme.
They will think that you are a monster, they will think that you are the monster in the story you told. They
have never seen a monster, and they don’t mind being a monster themselves.
From what I know and what I know about them, I am afraid they prefer to choose an individual and treat this individual as a monster that harms them, attack and judge it.
They may think that this will allow them to achieve the happiest ending.
Those who think so will feel happy in it.
Maybe some other people in the group will reflect and regret, but for that individual, nothing can help, and I don’t want you to become that kind of individual.
I want to protect you with all my strength, but obviously, as you know, my current ability is not enough to resist all the people of the entire country except me.
If they want to kill you in front of me, my strength alone is not enough to resist them.
I don’t want that to happen, just like you don’t want the monsters in your story to destroy the world, so you come to me.
I admit that at this point in this matter, our hearts are the same."
Araki said earnestly.
"Your strength has improved a lot compared to before, but maybe we haven't reached the final stage that you should have reached.
Of course you need time to think. I won't rush you because it's useless and will only make us anxious and nervous. From a friend's perspective, I hope you can feel relaxed.
But from my personal perspective, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible, because the longer it takes, the more likely it is that I will be the one who feels anxious and nervous.
Maybe in the future we will encounter some opportunity, and then you will have hundreds or thousands of times more power than now, and then you can protect the safety of this place by yourself.
At that time, you don't have to care about others, because your strength alone is enough for me, and the strength of those people is just like an ant compared to you.
If that's the case, it's OK if you're the only one in this area willing to provide me with power. Even if I die and you die too, other people won't be hurt, and it won't have any impact.
Given the current situation, that's the best outcome.
I just hope that the strongest forces from all regions combined won't be a hindrance to that monster. That's enough. As long as there's still a chance to fight, it doesn't matter. "
The World of Truth sighed.
Araki thought about it and nodded.
