In an unknown realm that was filled with mist,
'Swoosh'
Leo's body appeared in the realm as he looked around to find the Beast Tamer God; however, the mist was heavy and he could not say anything that was more than three meters away from him.
[Huh? Why did you come here?]
Suddenly, Leo heard an old voice and soon saw an old man walk out of the mist with a shocked look on his face.
"Since someone wanted to make a deal with me, of course, I will be here."
Compared to the shocked Beast Tamer God, Leo had a slight smile on his face as he replied to the Beast Tamer God.
[Y-you…you don't have a Sponsored God? How is that possible?]
The Beast Tamer God had lived for more than 10000 years; however, he had never seen a mortal with a God Space. So of course, he was shocked.
"If you don't control your emotions, I will just return."
Since [Heaven's Voice] had only given them 10 minutes to talk, Leo wanted to hear what the Beast Tamer God would give him if he didn't complete the Ascending Mission.
Hence, Leo didn't want to waste time and urged the Beast Tamer God to straight up come to the point.
'Calm yourself.'
The old man suppressed his shock over Leo's speciality of having a God Space before ascending to the Godhood and silently thought, 'Since he is just a mortal, I can easily convince him with some low-level treasures.'
The Beast Tamer God found an opportunity amidst his shock as he asked,
[Does your mission require you to destroy all my Temples in Eldoria?]
"Yes."
Leo nodded his head as he informed, "I have also triggered a special Hidden Mission which I can easily complete as I have already killed your God Apostle."
[...]
The Beast Tamer God didn't expect Leo to trigger a Special Hidden Mission which was almost impossible for even the veteran ascenders.
[If you commit suicide and leave the world right away, I will give help you with Two Divine Artifacts and after the special Hidden Mission, I will give you three Divine Artifacts. What do you say?]
Even if a participant didn't complete their ascending mission, there won't be any penalties as they would not gain any rewards.
Without rewards, their ascending to Godhood would be delayed. So, as long as the Beast Tamer God and the participant come to a deal, it's a win-win situation for both.
Of course, this kind of deal could only be initiated by the World God to the world into which the ascender has reincarnated.
"Not enough."
Leo didn't even think about it as he directly rejected the Beast Tamer God's offer.
As far as Leo knew, the Divine Artifacts are exclusive to Gods and in his previous life, Leo had collected hundreds of them.
Hence, Leo believed that once he became a God, he could collect the Divine Artifacts once again.
Moreover, Leo had already heard the Beast Tamer God's thoughts and he was planning to give him some low-level Divine Artifacts to protect his temples in the world.
[What? Do you even know how valuable the Divine Artifacts are?]
Seeing that Leo reject his offer without any thinking, made the Beast Tamer God angry and he shouted at Leo.
"Are they really that valuable?"
Leo was calm as he scoffed at the old man before asking, "If a Divine God was sponsoring me, would you have offered the same five Divine Artifacts?"
[...]
Even though the Beast Tamer God wanted to refute his words, he was unable to say them out loud.
"If you want me to commit suicide, I want your sincerity in the deal you are offering; otherwise, I will just return and complete the missions and get some good rewards from [Heaven's Voice]."
Leo seriously said these words and added, "By the way, this is my first ascending mission and you know what it means, right?"
[What? It's your first mission and you have already entered a Nightmare Grade Ascending Mission?]
At first, the Beast Tamer God thought of finding another way to fool Leo; however, when he heard the last part of his line, the Beast Tamer God was once again shocked.
No participant wants to lose their first Ascending Mission because the rewards for that first mission would be very generous as they could basically complete 20-30 percent of their ascending to Godhood in their first Ascending mission.
From the next ascending missions, even though they would get rewards, the ascender would find fewer rewards that could help them with their ascending to Godhood.
Therefore, Leo directly said to the Beast Tamer God that he should show his sincerity with his deal if he really wanted Leo to abandon his [Ascending Mission] and the [Speical Hidden Mission].
'Since it is his first mission, even [Heaven's Voice] would help him and I have to give him a more or less equivalent valued item to complete the deal.'
The Beast Tamer God fell into his thoughts as he suddenly thought of something that he got a long time back but didn't get a chance to use it.
[For abandoning the [Ascending Mission], I will give you a [Direct God Ascending Ticket] along with five Divine Artifacts that could help you after you become a God yourself]
The Beast Tamer God didn't wait for Leo to speak as he continued to say,
[As for your Special Hidden Mission, you can complete it if it didn't have anything to do with the destruction of my Temples]
[If you have completed any other hidden mission already, then you can still receive the rewards from [Heaven's Voice] without a problem]
[What do you say? Do you feel my sincerity now?]
After saying what he wanted to say, the Beast Tamer God asked Leo with a forced smile on his face.
If possible, the Beast Tamer God didn't want to trade the [Direct God Ascending Ticket] as it was still valuable to him and many other Gods.
Since he had to show his sincerity, it was the best and cheapest item that he could offer to Leo in his current situation.
Nevertheless, he didn't mind as he could earn them all back in no time with his Beast Tamer World.
"They are good; however, I have some terms to add to it."
Leo had listened to the Beast Tamer God's thoughts and knew that the [Direct God Ascending Ticket] was a valuable item which he could instantly use to become a God.
Of course, it is not as simple as the name of the item says because he had to undergo a reincarnation using that ticket and as long as he completes that mission, he could directly become a God.
However, during that reincarnation, there won't be any deals with the gods as he had to complete them if he wanted to ascend to Godhood.
'Even if I am unable to complete it, my body won't be harmed. So, it is a perfect item for me.'
Leo had already decided to take the Beast Tamer God's offer; however, he secretly asked [Heaven's Voice] about it.
To his question, [Heaven's Voice] answered and broadened his horizons. Hence, he wanted to add some terms to the offer to get as many rewards as possible.
[What are they? If your terms go overboard, remember that I will directly cancel this deal right here]
Even though the Beast Tamer God seemed aggressive on the surface, he had no intention of cancelling the deal with Leo.
Once Leo realized his intention, Leo directly said his terms with confidence.
"According to [Heaven's Voice], if I complete the [Ascending Mission] by at least 50 percent, it can be considered a success. Right now, my mission progress is at 40 percent and I only need 10 more percent. I hope you let me complete my [Ascending Mission] by 50 percent."
"Also, if I successfully become a God, I want one million units of God Energy."
"As for my third condition, let me have them, the [Stormrider Family] and the [Moonshadow Family] as one of the rewards for the completion of my [Ascending Mission]."
Since they were running out of time, Leo directly stated three conditions from his side that should be added to the terms that the Beast Tamer God mentioned.
For his first condition, since he had a chance to complete his first [Ascending Mission], Leo wanted to complete it and the second condition can be considered as his initial funds after he became a God.
As for the third condition, he wanted a family…a real family.
Of course, once he came out of the Ascending World, his main body had nothing to do with them; however, the way Leo felt about them won't change, right?
With this thought in mind, Leo wanted to have both these families and as for their locations, Leo had many worlds and he could tell them to settle in one of them.
[For the first and third conditions, I agree; however, for the second one, I can't agree]
As soon as he heard Leo's requests, the Beast Tamer God heaved a sigh of relief; however, he didn't show it on his face and tried to bargain with Leo on the second condition.
"Fine then. Let's just cancel the deal as I will fully complete my [Ascending Mission]."
Thanks to the [Thoughts of the Gods], Leo was at an advantage as he already knew what the Beast Tamer God was thinking and hence, Leo was extreme with his words as he suggested canceling the deal.
[Let's complete the deal in the presence of [Heaven's Voice]]
Without any hesitation, the Beast Tamer God agreed to Leo's condition and decided to sign the contract with [Heaven's Voice] as the witness.
