Chapter 279 Preparations In Netherrealm: The King Of Greed And The King Of Gluttony
After I visited Pride, I decided to call the two of them here as well and..
To be honest, I am craving to use Charm Magic on both of these idiots.
But, let's at least try for once,
"Well. I had already informed you about Parasites and stuff, but I haven't told you what your work will be in th-"
"Your desires look delicious," said Greed as he observed me with a keen interest. Those bandages over his eyes weren't really doing their job, as somehow I could feel his eyes and their movements.
"Look deeper," I spoke with a smile and he did so…
-Thud!
He fell on the ground with a slightly shaken look on his face as he observed me and spoke,"how… how can you be this calm… yet in such chaos?!!!"
I sighed before turning to Gluttony, who was just looking at me with cautious eyes. I could only sigh before speaking,"Well… I am going to be direct here. Are you guys with me or against me?! I am powerful enough to kill you both for real, so keep that in mind before you answer."
I bluffed a little. I couldn't kill them for real. Don't have that ability here. Might kill them for a temporary time, but because of the nature of the Netherrealm, they would simply revive the very next day. Kind of an odd thing, but yeah… that's how things function here.
"I… want to know something first," Gluttony spoke as he looked at me with a slight fear in his words.
I nodded at him and he asked me,"What are your connections with the Scarlets?"
'Hmmm?' I looked at him a bit confused before I asked,"what do you mean by that?"
Though he just simply kept looking at me. After a few moments of silence, he answered,"you reek of the Scarlets."
I pondered a bit about it before speaking,"maybe it is because I use the same ability as they do?" and he looked at me with a narrowed gaze.
"Well… it's not exactly a secret, but I can use any ability I want as long as I work on it. So, I had spent a bit of my time with a certain Scarlet before and learnt how to use a few of their abilities," I answered without really hiding anything and he, at first surprised, then asked me again,
"So you have no blood relations with them?"
I nodded at him as I recalled that Gluttony was a vampire before turning into… this.
Also, his entire family was wiped out by Scarlets so there was that as well. Kind of rough… feel sad for him. Anyway,
"Nope. I don't have any." He then ponders a little before speaking,"I guess,I don't have anything against you then. Though there is something I would like you to do for me if we end up surviving this whole ordeal."
"Tell me and I'll think about it," I spoke nonchalantly and he answered,"Bring the wife of the Vampire King. I want to **** her."
I almost tripped at his words before turning at him with a bit of a wide-eyed expression… his desires run that DEEP, huh?
"Don't get me wrong. I hate Scarlets but… she is kinda hot," he spoke with a slight smile and a blush on his face and stupefied I looked at him. Even Greed was looking at him with pure stupefaction.
"Well… I can't really promise that but… I will take you to her and you guys can sort it out among yourselves," I spoke, and a bit surprised he looked at me and even Greed observed me with his eyes widening.
'Ah! I slipped up,' I thought as I looked at them before speaking,"well… I am planning to take you guys to the outside world. With some limitations, of course. So… well, you can guess the rest."
I didn't tell them everything, but just confirmed their doubts. As for the Vampire Queen… well, she is… a b*tch honestly. If Gluttony takes over Vampire King and becomes the new King, she will probably sleep with Gluttony without any hesitation. Though that's a drama, I would rather not get involved.
As for the Vampire King, for all the sh*t he had pulled at me… I couldn't care less what he does later on.
"Greed. What about you? Are you with me or against me?" I asked, looking at Greed and he a bit cautiously spoke out,"at first I was confused, but if you can take us to the outside world. I want to visit my hometown."
"Well, not trying to break your heart or anything, but your hometown has changed drastically in the past few centuries. Are you sure you want to go there?" I asked again because, well… I don't want to make a relationship that will only break later on. I would rather choose something that is solid to trust than a fragile promise that can break any moment.
"Yeah. It is fine. As long as I get to go there, it is fine," Greed spoke as he smiled at me.
Greed had an odd story. He had an abusive family that took everything from him. Didn't have friends or perhaps anyone to trust… and then he simply died. Normally, that would have let him move on without any desires, but then his desires took form in the Netherrealm.
Since he lacked desires of his own, he started eating other people's desires. The more he ate, the more greedy he became… eventually reaching the power he has today.
His greed for desire is kinda scary but… I wonder what exactly was that that prompted him to get into Netherrealm. Because as far as I know, without any strong deep desire, nothing can take form in this world.
"You want to know why am I here?" Greed asked with a slight smile as he read my thoughts… which were a form of desire as well… and I nodded at him. I was really curious.
