Chapter 1079 Trading Chips Can't refuse
If Zhou Yi wants to say the person he least wants to see now, then Ms. Death is definitely the number one who can be ranked among them.
Admittedly, he had some friendship with Lady Death. But this kind of friendship is no longer enough to stop him from being jealous enough of this woman with a strong background.
Through Ganata, who has disappeared without a trace, Zhou Yi already knows the relationship between the Lady of Death and the Devourer of Planets who have been wiped out by the catastrophe. is equivalent to the status of a brother and sister of a mother's siblings, and can be sold clean in the blink of an eye. This approach really makes Zhou Yi disagree, and it is inevitable to re-examine her.
This is a woman with a strong background, a deep background, and will do anything for the sake of profit. For her, the friendship between herself and her is probably just a meager bargaining chip. It is very likely that without knowing it, she has already put herself on the balance of the trade.
This is very dangerous, and all Zhou Yi just wants to stay away from her. It's just that I didn't expect to be found by her in this situation. Of course, perhaps the term self-casting is more appropriate.
Feeling the wariness of herself in Zhou Yi's words, Lady Death shook her head disappreciatively, and then replied to him.
"Zhou Yi, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to say this? Don't forget, you're trespassing on my territory right now. I just invited you here as a host. How? Do you still want me to treat you like an enemy? β
Of course, Zhou Yi didn't want her to think of herself as some kind of enemy. But he couldn't be so naΓ―ve to think of her as his friend. So at this time, he could only say to Lady Death very calmly.
"It's better to be direct between us. Tell me, what did you bring me here for? Don't say anything to me about reminiscing or anything like that, our friendship shouldn't have reached this level yet. β
"Let's sit down first!" The Lady of Death smiled slightly, and a seat that looked very comfortable appeared in front of Zhou Yi. At the same time, the dining table and black tea appeared in front of Zhou Yi without pulling it. There is even a dedicated waiter standing by their side to provide them with the best quality service.
Zhou Yi didn't want to act at the mercy of Lady Death. It's just that when he saw the waiter's appearance, he had to sit down honestly.
That was the goal of his trip, Mary. Stark. And if she appears here in this way, then it means that the Lady of Death has control over everything about her. This made it impossible for him to act rashly, because he knew very well that it only took one thought for Mary to really die. Even he couldn't have saved her again. Under the rat trap, he can only fall into passivity.
Zhou Yi's reluctance to cooperate, which the Lady of Death can also see. It's just that she doesn't care about Zhou Yi's attitude. All she wanted was for him to sit down and negotiate a deal with her in peace. Now that he has sat down according to his orders, the rest is naturally easy to say.
I made a cup of black tea and took a slow sip. Lady Death said to Zhou Yi, who had a cold face like a statue in front of her.
"I'd love to ask if you'd like to have a drink, but judging by your current situation, you shouldn't be interested in having tea with me. So, maybe we should be more direct and talk about something that you and I are all concerned about. β
"Do we have an intersection on this kind of issue?" Zhou Yi asked cautiously. He knew very well in his heart that if it was something that even the Lady of Death needed to pay attention to, then it would definitely be a huge trouble. And now, the last thing he wants to get into trouble is trouble.
It's just that he now has a handle in his hands, and if he wants not to get into trouble, it's not that simple. So he could only ask questions in advance to see what kind of things would make this woman make her own mind.
And as soon as she opened her mouth, Zhou Yi immediately realized that this was really a big trouble. Because what she said was actually related to another him.
"Of course. We're definitely going to cross paths on some things. For example, the existence of the Holocaust. I think you already know who he is. β
The existence of the catastrophe is a mountain pressed in Zhou Yi's heart. To be fair, he didn't have much of a bad feeling for his other self. It's just that what he did really made the arrogant Zhou Yi a little unable to swallow this breath.
The domineering appearance of depriving himself of power, the tone of admonishing himself like a sentence, all made him deeply remember in his mind, and every time he thought about it, he was full of humiliation and unwillingness.
Of course, in the face of the absolute disparity in strength, this kind of unwillingness and humiliation is meaningless. Zhou Yi himself didn't have any intention of humiliating himself again, so he immediately replied to Lady Death very clearly.
"Yes, I know who he is. But what does this have to do with me? He is him, I am me, do you have a conflict with him, and it will be counted on my head? β
"Of course not, you also said it, he is him, you are you. Although you are one person, since you appear in the same world, then you are two different beings. I know this better than anyone. Just ......"
Speaking of this, Lady Death smiled slightly, and her eyes immediately revealed a bit of playfulness.
"Is it true that your relationship can only be explained in this way? Or do you imagine that you are like now, being pressed under him all the time? β
If he could, Zhou Yi naturally didn't want to be crushed by the catastrophe all the time. However, what he didn't want to be used as a gunman was even more. The meaning of Lady Death's words is very clear, that is, she has thoughts of the catastrophe. And because of her relationship, she was once again dragged into the confrontation with the guy who was in the catastrophe, which was something that Zhou Yi absolutely did not want to see.
He couldn't compete with the Catastrophe before, let alone now. So immediately, he took this excuse and said to the Lady of Death.
"I certainly don't want to be crushed by him. But do you think I can do anything now? I'm certainly no match for him. Of course, if you're sure to deal with him, there's nothing wrong with me waving the flag on your side. β
Hearing this, Lady Death's face immediately showed a little embarrassment. Of course, she didn't have the confidence to fight against the Catastrophe, and no one in the entire universe could have such sufficient confidence. And she brought Zhou Yi here today, which is not the meaning at all.
She just wanted to lay a foreshadowing in advance, a way to restrain the catastrophe. Instead of going to the ring with him openly. So after Zhou Yi finished saying this, she immediately said.
"You're thinking too much. I don't mean to be his enemy. I didn't want you to come here because I wanted you to cooperate with me and do anything to him. Strictly speaking, I'm bringing you here to help you. β
"Help?"
Will the Lady of Death be kind enough to help herself? Zhou Yi didn't really believe it in his heart. However, he did not put this distrust on his face, but asked her with a serious look.
"How can you help me? Or do you think there's something I need your help with? β
"Of course." With a slight smile, Lady Death threw out her chips. "For example, I can restore you to the power you once had. Get rid of the hidden dangers that the havoc has planted in your body. β
This is a bargaining chip that Zhou Yi can't refuse at all. Because he is haunted by the strength he has lost. Unlike the previous time when he reversed the long river of time and made him lose his divine power, at that time, he just paid the corresponding price after making the choices he had to make. Essentially, it was his own decision. So he doesn't regret it.
But what the Shoah did to him was different. It was something that was forcibly inflicted on him, and it was something he couldn't accept anyway. He can't be as calm as the former, and in the face of everything like this, he will only have unwillingness and humiliation in his heart.
It's just that he can't do anything about all of this, and he doesn't want to affect the people around him for this reason. So he can only swallow his anger until now. And now, Ms. Death actually said that she could help herself get back everything she had lost, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.
Of course, he wouldn't have agreed too simply. Because he understands very well in his heart that only pay will be rewarded. A person like Ms. Death is very realistic, and since she will come up with such a bargaining chip, it is equivalent to saying that she needs to pay the corresponding price. He didn't dare to blindly reply until he knew what the price was. So he could only say it clearly.
"Again, what do you want me to do?"
"Quite simply, I, or rather we, need your help."
Zhou Yi was equivalent to opening everything up, and it was naturally impossible for Lady Death to continue to hide her intentions. She replied very bluntly.
"We need someone to replace us and clamp down on that guy's power. And among them, you will be the most suitable person. Because of your relationship with him, but also because of your potential. Of course, we won't just let you go against him. This is unrealistic, after all, his power is there, and his current identity is very special. We just need you to step up and stop him when he threatens the universe uncontrollably. How, are you willing to accept such conditions? β
