“You didn’t provide me with any useful information,” the Overlord said. “Why did I even come here? It was an utter waste of time.”
There was anger and disappointment in his voice.
“…”
“Now!” He pointed his hand toward Misha and said, “I will kill you for how useless you are!”
“…!” Misha backed off while dragging her body away from the Overlord and said, “But you promised you would spare us!”
“I did?”
“…”
“I said I ‘might’ consider it if you give me the information I am looking for. While you gave me not a single piece of information that could benefit me!”
A golden energy appeared before the Overlord’s hand, and it began aggravating.
“Wait, please!”
“Heh! It feels good to see an angel begging for my mercy,” she scoffed out loud.?? ? ?? n ? ???
“You can kill me if you want, but please spare Kayden! He has done nothing wrong!” she bellowed.
p ?? da n ?v el “…” The Overlord lowered his hand and asked, “Why… do you care about him even though you said you don’t love him.”
“Because he is my brother!”
“Why should I let him live? He is nothing but a pathetic human, who got cucked by his childhood friend, and the girl he loves doesn’t even love him back. He has suffered enough. Don’t you think it would be for the best if I kill him with you?” he asked curiously.
“Love is not everything in this world!”
“Okay. Tell me one, just one piece of information. It can be anything, but it has to be usefull. If you manage to entertain me, I might consider sparing ‘his’ life,” the Overlord demanded.
“No.” Misha frowned her face at him and uttered, “You have to promise me that you wouldn’t do anything to him!”
“Oi Oi! I am the one making demands here!” The Overlord raised his hand and said, “Don’t get too bitchy, or I will give you a painful death!”
“Please… please promise me that you wouldn’t harm Kayden,” she said meekly.
“You don’t want to love him back, but you are ready to die for him? That’s a very ‘human-like’ nature of you. In short, petty and pathetic. Hah!” he snickered. p??da n?vel
“Do you promise?”
“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”
Misha stayed silent for a few seconds and pondered. She didn’t know what to say as she herself was clueless about most of the things.
“What… do you want to know about it? Any particular topic?” Misha asked calmly.
“Hmm. Tell me more about what you know about Zach, Erza, or Deus. But mind you, I already know a few things about them, so if you tell me something I already know, it won’t count.”
Misha bit her lips and asked with a judging look on her face: “What if I tell you something and you lie about it, saying you already knew that. How would I know if you aren’t lying?”
“I… never lie. And what would I gain from lying?”
A brief silence later, Jane uttered, “Zach is a hybrid made from various—”
“I already know of it,” he interrupted.
“Zach’s blessings let him change and surpass the limits of a—” ,c,om
“I am already aware of that.”
Misha bit her lips and said, “There is a high chance that…”
“That?” he asked curiously.
Misha looked up at him and said, “You said you control everything in your domain, right? So you should be able to hear my thoughts as well, am I right?”
She asked with a knowing look on his face.
“Oo~ It must be something too secretive that you want to tell me in such a way. But I don’t understand. There is no one here other than us. Who is going to hear you?”
“You never know. Maybe the gods are watching us right now?”
“Nah, they don’t have time for that. They are going through their own shit in the heavens. And besides, they don’t give a single fuck about what will happen to the players or this world,” he uttered nonchalantly.
“This world is as doomed as your real world,” he added shortly.
“Are you ready…?”
“Yeah, go ahead. I bet it will be anything useful. So surprise me.”
Misha closed her eyes and uttered what she had to say, but inwardly. And as planned, the Overlord heard Misha’s thoughts and sat back in the chair soon after.
He was in evident shock.
“…” Misha peeked a glance at him and opened her mouth to say something, but she stopped herself and waited for him to react.
A few seconds later, he came back to his senses and stared at Misha.
“Let me confirm it. You are not sure of it?”
“Well, there is no proof, so I can’t prove it to you even if I want to. But I am 90%… no, 75% sure that I am right,” she muttered.
“That doesn’t sound very convincing considering how your confidence just went from 90% to 75%. But that sure was a mind-blowing twist. I don’t know if I want that to be true or not, but things may get interesting if it turns out to be true.”
All this time, his voice sounded emotionless, but now it was lively.
“Are you content with what I said?” she asked in a low voice.
“Indeed, I am.” He got up from the chair and pointed his hand at Misha. “Are you ready to die?”
Misha closed her eyes and said, “You will not get away with this. Sooner or later, Zach will find you and kill you.”
“Hah!” he laughed out loud and said, “It will take him eons to reach my level of strength. Seriously, he is stuck in a death game where his first priority was supposed to beat the gods and clear the game. But instead, he is wasting his time romancing every girl he meets. What a disappointment.”
He summoned a golden energy ball and said, “Let me tell you something meaningful, little angel.”
Misha opened her eyes and looked at him.
“You shouldn’t trust anyone. Not your friends, nor your foes.”
After hearing that, Jane frowned her face and said, “But you promised you wouldn’t harm Kayden!”
“Consider it your lesson,” he said in a lifeless voice and released the golden energy.
