'How come The Community didn't intervene with this quest? I thought their aim to save every race.' The community was better than others because their aim was the help the people, doesn't matter their race. How come they stayed out of this?
"The quest Desolates requested serves the same aim. You will save humanity by sending Chimera Ants to the Upper Realm and save the Chimera Ants by sending them." Crow explained slowly. "It is not easy to put quest against the Aristocracy. If it isn't that significant, the Community usually chooses to not to clash with others. Since there is already a quest serving their aim, why would they waste a Divine Item and piss the Aristocracy off?"
So that is how it is. 'How do they know I will choose the Desolates? I may choose the other two to destroy one of these races.' Even I wasn't sure to which quest I should choose.
"They never forced you to choose their side in the previous Quests either. They act to do the right thing. But if you don't accept it, they won't clash with others just to save a race. It may sound cold, but the clash between those two factions will kill billions of people. Which one would you choose?"
'You are right.' I never looked at the bigger picture. Still, knowing that Gods play with everything, is make me angry. It was like a massive Go Game with multiple Gods, try to take all the places on the board for the end game. There were conflicts between Gods, and they still had common enemy Crow choose not to tell me yet.
"Which one of these Quests are you going accept?" asked Crow.
'Neither at the moment. I have to sleep on it. Killing Phantom Troupe is a huge problem, and I don't want to have such a huge problem. I wanted to help Kurapika to deal with them, but it was only some inside information or leaving him alone with the one of the Phantom Troupe. I never wanted to clash with them head-on. If I can bargain with the Desolates, their quest is not that bad. Also, a Weapon Type Divine Item sounds better.'
To clash with Phantom Troupe means I had to clash with Hisoka too. That crazy woman wants to fight with Lucilfer, and if I kill Lucilfer, then Hisoka would chase me for all eternity. I don't want to look over my shoulder constantly.
Also just because Chimera Ants are the superior race, clashing with them for this very reason is absurd. Even though King hasn't born yet, from Crow told me, I already like that fellow. He is the strongest and wants to create his own World. There is nothing wrong with that. Also, his insights are better than all Upper Realm.
"Why do weak people become King? That defies all logic... In the hands of an incompetent, power brings nothing but ruin."
"Ha-ha, these humans are definitely foolish creatures. Think as hard as those weak brains of yours can manage. Do you humans ever listen to the cries of mercy coming from pigs and cows you slaughter?"
And the one made me relate to him most, and force me to save him if I can.
"Your society has "international borders"... partitions dividing the world into little boxes. To the right side of the border, children starve to death. To the left, the idle dregs of mankind feast on excess. It is sheer madness. I will destroy all borders. I can give you, if not perfect equality, a world without unjust want! I have learned what power is for. To protect the weak who deserve to live. Never to oppress the defeated. I will not fight you."
I would bow my head to this King without a second thought. Not that because I wasn't strong enough. Because of just these ideas he had after months of his birth time is evidence of his great mind. If I had a choice I would want to create a World where he was the ruler. I never had the desire to rule or become a God. All I want to do is be strong enough to not worry about anything.
Desolates want to have an army. An army would never bow when their commander is still alive. That is why they want me to kill King and his three Guardians. But I don't know if I should do that just because of an item. I do want those items to become stronger, but should I kill something I respect just for those items?
I put the matter behind my head and left the Heaven's Arena. It was time for me to return to my Yorknew City. I will take my time and wait for the things find their own ways.
I went to the airport and bought a ticket. It was about time for Auctions will take place all over the Yorknew City. I wasn't just fighting or training while I was here. I gather as much as information I could from every agency I could go.
Yorknew City annually holds various auctions from the 1st to the 10th of September, including the world's largest auction: the Southernpiece Auction, in which the world's rarest and most valuable artifacts are accumulated in one place.
Aside from thousands of lawful auction houses, the city is also famous for its black market auctions which mostly deal with illegal goods. The Mafia's Underground Auction takes place here every year, in the Cemetery Building.
During the ten days of the auctions, tens of trillions of local currency Jenny are exchanged in the official auctions alone. Yorknew's auctions are where one's dreams can come true. An item bought for ten thousand Jenny can be sold for 100 million Jenny the next day.
Phantom Troupe was going to steal all the artifacts and replace them with fake ones. Then sell the fake ones and earn twice. It was a foolproof plan and I had no intention to stop it. They were stealing from Mafia, making it just. The only problem was, they were going to kill lots of people. At least they did in original series. But thing ought to be different this time because not only Vigilants of Stendarr, but Brotherhood of Steel was also going to be there to clash with Phantoms.
After a few days, I arrived at the Yorknew City and I started to walk where Phantom Troupe was going to gather. In these few days, Crow contact with Desolates to convey my request. To my surprise, they accepted all my terms. I was not going to clash with Phantom Troupe, but Brotherhood of Steel still going to fight with them. My only Quest was to bring Chimera Ant army to Upper Realm. I could deal with King and Guardians in my term. So, I accepted their quest.
When I arrived at the shabby building only Shalnark, Feitan and blonde man I never met was there. The blonde man's name was Phinks. He had black eyes and he was fairly tall and muscular. His most distinguishing feature was having no eyebrows. He was wearing a Gucci tracksuit.
As soon as I walked inside, Shalnark attacked me with a strong punch, and I just dodged her.
"I see you are gotten stronger. Did you win against any of the Floor Masters?" she asked.
"No. I lost to Tempo." I said nonchalantly. "He had Hatsu allows him to stop time for a second. I couldn't find a way to win. But I win against Hisoka."
"Not bad. What about we fight?" said Phinks stood from where he sat and started to walk to me.
I checked the Pakunoda's memories but there wasn't too much information about his powers. Still, I had to prove my strength to them, so I accepted his challenge and created 777 Gloves.
