"A-a negotiation?"
Eli asked in disbelief. He was well aware of what kind of existence stood before him and he didn't quite buy it... why would an emperor class monster lessened himself to negotiate with a human. Wouldn't they usually be prideful and disdain for human existence?.
Even though he was carrying a downpour of questions within... he wouldn't dare to think differently with the Emperor's suggestions. Having an opposite opinion is fine but don't express it or else death is one walk away from his head.
"Yes... a negotiation."
Hiro's eyes slightly dropped a bit while his head protruded way elevated up at the height of 25 meters. Obscuring over the small humans.
He must accept that a sense of pride existed alongside him due to his size and strength.
But there was an explanation for him to instigate the negotiation. Back when he was plummeting within the giant tree trunks enclosure.
A system notification awakened him of an
'Heavenly treasure' deep down within the cavern.
-
Previously...
*Creaks* *Creaks*
Sounds of the giant inflexible roots creaking about resounded within the giant hole.
Hiro had nothing else to do other than gazing towards the soil in front of him while plummeting down slowly.
Suddenly,
"Ding... Host, there is a heavenly treasure deep down within this hole."
The metallic voice tingled inside his head. Informing him of something unusual than the normal.
"This?..."
"Heavenly treasure?"
Hiro asked in surprise since he was too immersed in the wall outside.
"Yes, host. A heavenly treasure is a bodily innate treasure forged under the blessing of this world's consciousness."
"Is it powerful?"
"Yes, host... each one of these treasures can provide the user of it with many miraculous effects or even uses. And this one is hidden deep down within this cave is a giant ancient stove"
Hearing this. Hiro was exceptionally amazed... but after interpreting the system explanation once again. A sudden thought came to his mind...
"Wait... what do you mean by the user? isn't it universal for all?"
"No host... the heavenly treasure needed to be bound by a bodily creature. And the one within this cave is embedded inside a human mind and every one of the heavenly treasure could only be born inside a humanoid figure"
"A human you say?"
Hiro exclaimed in alert... since he had fired down an energy bomb before. Doesn't that mean this human could already be deceased?.
"Yes, host... it is a human and host doesn't need to worry. His life presence is still down there. It seems he had survived from the host's previous blast"
Heeding this... Hiro gradually breathed in a sigh of relief.
"Good... a human huh?... "
"This should be fun... how about a little game"

Back to the present time...
*Breathes in*
Eli tried relieving himself down while peering his head up towards the giant Serpent in front of him. The cold luster of pitch dark green color streaked alongside it a visible glowing gaseous energy. The rectangular head filled with its front a pair of giant jutted out fang. And finally, the cold Emerald-colored eyes looking down on him as if his presence was insignificant.
He can feel it... invisible oppression was faintly radiating from the giant Serpent. His heart pounded faster and faster with each second under this coercion that he couldn't perceive.
"I agree with your negotiation"
After taking his breath in... Eli once again shouted his words with courage as if the one from before was merely a trial tryout.
"Hmmm... I think you don't get it don't you human?"
Unexpectedly... Hiro replied with a sneer on his face while looking down at the tiny ant.
"Wh-what you mean by that? didn't I already agree?"
Eli stammered within his words as he tried making a reply.
"It was never a choice... I don't care whether you agree or not. If I say so...then it will happen... I gave you no choice so then..."
"Why did you say (I agree)?... did you think you have any rights before me?"
A boisterous voice throbbed within the cave as the ground began to shiver furiously under the tremors of Hiro's pressure.
"I- Yes I will do anything you want... Please forgive my pointless existence!"
Seeing that the atmosphere took a sudden abrupt change. Eli hurriedly shouted back in compliance with Hiro's statement.
His back was drenched ed in a cold sweat as his legs quivered a little.
Similarly, Senior Weyn had already appeared in front of him. Seemingly ready to act at any time.
*Thump* *Thump* *Thump*
Both of them can feel it. Their heart-thumping rapidly...
The fear of death prevailed in all living things... no matter how powerful that existence is.
"Good... now that you ant know of your place. Then we can continue..."
Hiro laughed a little inside his heart but on the surface, he won't show it to maintain the majestic presence of him from being tarnished.
