Chapter 2094 Proposal?
Minos looked silently into Willow's clear eyes and saw that this experienced woman had understood him very well.
He didn't lie to her. "I have one more thing to do."
"Are you crazy?" One of the two level 98 Demigods asked. "Minos, what you did in Veora probably won't hurt you. I must admit you used the current situation in our world very well. Considering how important you are and how necessary it would be for us to turn a blind eye, what happened in this city will hardly hurt you.
But don't think that now that you're a Demigod, you'll be able to act freely in the world. Because you've shown such disturbing behavior, forces worldwide will be watching you closely.
Although most of the higher powers will accept what you've done here, that doesn't mean they'll give you a blank check to do whatever you want. From now on, the strongest in the world will watch you and take action if you repeat your transgressions.
So don't be so bold and leave these matters of the past in the past!" The old man shouted, lecturing Minos.
Queen Sista agreed with her advisor. "He is right, Minos. You won't be able to act the way you want to. Besides, we have our enemies to worry about. Even Vico and Maximillian put aside their differences because of the aliens' strength. You must do the same now."
Minos explained what he had in mind. "Do not worry. My actions will only strengthen the Spiritual World. What I intend to do is not to exterminate anyone. I'm going to visit a certain tribe on the Continent of Beasts and give them the opportunity to pay for their crimes by serving my family for eternity."
"What tribe are you talking about?" Willow narrowed her eyes.
"The Gorgons Tribe."
All three Sista Demigods understood the problem Minos was trying to solve, aware of what had happened years ago when he had traveled through the Spiritual World to form the crew that had discovered the aliens.
"The Gorgons won't accept this easily. I bet they'd rather die at your hands."
"Yes, that won't work." The two level 98 Demigods agreed.
"I'll try anyway," Minos said. "They almost put my relatives' lives in danger, so this can't go unanswered. Maybe they'll die in the war against the aliens, and I'll lose my chance for revenge... I'm going to the Continent of Beasts to settle this one way or another.
I'm telling you this because you're my allies. But this is not negotiable."
The two old men clenched their fists, not liking Minos' words.
Willow was the oldest and looked at Minos in silence, seeing that he was much more confident than George's letters had described.
She changed the subject. "How is my son? And Sarah?"
"They are well. George is in seclusion in my Spatial Kingdom. He should become a Demigod in the next few months. As for Sarah, she's working on becoming a Sage."
She liked what she heard. "This is good. Thank you for accepting him into your family and still giving him opportunities to grow."
Minos took his cue and said. "It's not just him I can help... May I speak with you alone, Lady Willow? I'd like to propose something to you."
"Oh?" She immediately became curious, while her two guards and advisors became even more so.
Willow quickly decided and asked them to give them some privacy. Meanwhile, Minos sent the three relatives of the Goddess of Life for a walk around the royal palace to be alone with the experienced blonde.
He then activated his Space and Time Domain, completely sealing off the area where he and Willow were so that even level 98 Demigods would have difficulty understanding what was happening in the room under his influence.
Minos said in her mind, 'Lady Willow, I want you to join my empire when the war for control of the Spiritual World begins.'
'I join you?' She misunderstood. 'We are already allies, Minos.'
While she looked at him strangely, time passed differently for them than for the other people in Veora's capital.
A minute of their conversation would be worth about 10 seconds to anyone outside the Space and Time Domain.
Minos made things clearer by bringing up the most important point. 'Lady Willow, can you feel the grade of my Physique? You know one can't reach that grade in many ways. And I tell you, I did it the traditional way.'
Willow's expression changed when she heard Minos' voice in her mind. 'You're saying...'
'Yes. Not only that, I'm telling you that I have more. If you agree to make a deal with me, I'll let you take a Divine Medicine. In return, you will have to defend my state during the coming war and act on our behalf if we eventually win the war.'
Willow stood there with her mouth agape, unbelieving that Minos had Divine Medicines and had even wasted one of those essences to increase the quality of his Physique.
But the most important thing for her was the chance to reach level 100!
Willow was in the last years of her life and would die soon if she didn't reach the 11th stage.
In other situations, she would think more carefully about Minos' proposal because the risks associated with such an advance would be high, even more so for someone of advanced age. It would be wise to consider it and even think that it wouldn't be worth it because if she died, her state would be even more fragile than it already was.
But the current situation was extraordinary. According to the world's greatest cultivation experts, anyone with access to Divine Medicine and who was at level 99 would have a great chance of success, regardless of age.
Therefore, it didn't take her long to make up her mind, get over her initial shock, and give her answer to Emperor Stuart even faster than Aarav.
'I accept. If you really want to give me a Divine Medicine, I'll agree to become a weapon of the Black Plain Empire as long as I live. Of course, I want the freedom to protect my family and my kingdom, but I will serve your state to the best of my ability.' She said in Minos' mind.
'Perfect. Then, let's make an agreement to make it official.' Minos said with a broad smile, seeing that it would be easier than he thought to get the support of level 99 Demigods.
