"Are you seriously going to deliver the ring?" Crow asked.
Yes. Would you like want me to humiliate myself once again? I have to bow my head for the time being. You know, last time when I turn them down, his champion dislocated my arm, force me to call myself a bug, and took everything he wants anyway.
"But, if you give Shop God what he wants, he will think you are weak. You should stand against him. We should stand against him." Crow said patting on his imaginary chest.
Look, I will stand against him when I am stronger. I had my share of beating from his champion. And I would like to remind you that you were the one wanted me to apologize from him when his Champion arrived, what changed your mind now? On that shameful day, you told me I am going to get myself killed.
"What I want to say is you shouldn't be a pushover. If you act like one, others will use you too. Upper Realm always prey on weak." Crow was still trying to convince me.
Crow and I were in endless debate. After I finished the Lord Ventus, I took out his ring with a purple gem on it from his middle finger. The feeling of superiority surrounded me as soon as I touched the jewel. I felt like, watching from the top of the world. I put my chakra into the ring and looked inside. There were money and lots of documents but not a single weapon. I took everything out and asked Crow to contact with that bit*h from Shop. From then we started to argue.
Would you call that bastard already? And ask for some SC, and don't forget the ask what they took earlier as well.
"As you wish, but I don't think they will pay you anything," Crow said and contacted with Shop God. Every system could communicate the shop, and kick them out as long as they wanted.
"Esteemed User wanted to trade a ring with our Shop?" the same female voice came to my ears. She had mocking deep in her voice. She was imagining my beaten state and having an orgasm.
"Yes. But, I want you to pay for all four rings. This one and the other three you take earlier." I said with a determined voice.
"I believe Esteemed User already knows that you lost all your right on previous three rings. Esteemed User insulted our Lord and forgiven in the exchange of the rings." the female voice was monotonous, but I could feel a smirk in that voice.
"Okay then. The deal is off. I will bury this ring somewhere you will never find. Good luck with searching it." I said and waited.
After five minutes the female voice came again, "Esteemed User will be paid 20.000 SC for all four rings. And our Lord wanted me to remind Esteem User, the threats don't work all the time." She had an angry voice because she had to swallow her pride.
"I also would like to remind your Lord, weak doesn't stay weak all the time." Do you think you are the only one can make threats? I will become stronger and will come for you. Wait for it. "I exchange the purple gem ring for 20.000 System Currency."
"Trade confirmed. 20.000 System Currency added your balance. Ring of Supremecy removed from Esteemed User's Warehouse. Have a good day!"
Bit*h. Throw her out, Crow.
"I did, as soon as the transaction over. What about the staff, don't you want to exchange it? I don't think you have a use for this one," Crow reminded me. Staff was another Duke Item, and it was strong, but I had stronger Lightning Jutsus, so I didn't have a use for it.
Right! I almost forget about that.
I walked to the Lord Ventus and reached for the staff. It was a Duke Item, so even if I had no use for it, I could exchange it with good sum. But, as soon as I reached for it, it vanished to thin air, leaving the only a message behind.
"Don't overestimate yourself. Even the Lords behind you, one day will kiss my shoes. I will pardon you for this one, choose your side better next time." it was a male voice. Soft but strong. I understand it was Templars God, but he wasn't able to do anything to me, because I got the mission from Quest God.
What is wrong with these Gods? I don't want to choose a side, they all decide I am ally or enemy on their own.
"There were always five sides, in the upper realm. First is, Aristocracy. First Floor and eight of the ten Gods reside on the First Floor are in this group. The Shop God, The Quest God, and others work with them all belong to this group.
Second is The Community. These Gods are milder than Aristocracy. They help people to help people. They want them to get stronger, to help the people in the World they sent. They don't join the tournaments and live at the most bottom floor in the Upper Realm. They have the most number, and their Champions respect them. That is why even Aristocracy can't pick a fight with them.
Third Group is Admirers. They are the worst kind if you ask me. They emulate to the Aristocracy and try to join them by raising their ranks by finding strong champions. Deaf God is one of them, and want to advance in Rank with your power.
The fourth group is Desolates. They would only cultivate themselves and would never choose a champion. They are the military force of the Upper Realm. They live on the second floor of the Upper Realm, and no one can question them. They have absolute authority with the God Council. God Council has eight God, two from each group, except the Desolates.
The Last group is the least in number. They are very mysterious. I have no idea, what is their aim as a matter of fact. They always stay away from Ranking fights and other things. They live on the third floor, but I don't know how they are earning the SC. The third floor is mostly open for sale. It is the only floor, can be lived without ranks." Crow summarized the situation to me. Since our fight last time, he started to explain more, as long as there was something to tell.
So, Templars' Lord belong to The Community?
"No. The Community wouldn't choose the war against the Aristocracy, because this war would affect more people than God. He is most likely belong to the fifth group but probably was in third once. Gods in the third group, most of the time are lackeys. The Aristocracy would use them for everything they want, and Champions of Admirers belong to the Aristocracy in a way. That is why Gods are using you and helping you."
So, that is how it is. I didn't know there was such a complex society in the Upper Realm.
"Regular races live there as well, but they are workers commonly. There are slaves, caught in the wars. It is a big World if you think of it. It is just, stronger than any other, so they call themselves Gods."
But how can a race, reincarnate people? Isn't it a little bit exaggerated?
"You can flash to miles away with a thought. You can fly and shot fire in your mouth. Would you believe this kind of powers exists in your previous life?"
You have a point. But, isn't there a strong race on par with Gods? I mean, they can't be the only one right.
"There are. But it is not very important at the time being. You have to leave this place."
Right. I checked around and looked at the destruction we created. I am surprised how no Admiral showed up yet, but I feel like it has to be Fujitora hold them back. I was about to jump from the edge of the Red Line I noticed a seal. I had a sit on the seal and started to study it.
