Believe it or not, the Foolish God actually agreed with my proposition.
Well, the real question was whether the stakes were high enough for him to decide to help me.
It wasn't like he had a simple justification to avoid my alternative, especially with all that had been established in our conversation.
Logically speaking, his plans weren't even greatly affected by this one event.
He had many other ways to win.
For instance, if I died once again, I would really have no other choice but to be his Acolyte.
And, since I wasn't getting his help upon my resurrection, the chances of dying soon after returning to the world was pretty high.
Then, there was the fact that he could still somewhat monitor the world using my Arcana Call, and the other few Acolytes he had running around.
All in all, this wasn't a total loss for him. We both won this round.
'I made it this far... thank goodness!'
