Purpose achieved, Noir activated the system. Instantly, a list three times longer than Brenna's appeared in front of Noir.
This is not too difficult to understand, after all, in addition to Brenna becoming a God, she also needs to remove the curse from her soul, the scope is of course much narrower.
However, Noir paid no attention to all that. Because he saw something that he had already seen before.
The thing that could help Brenna become a God that he pointed out... still exists!
If that thing had been consumed by Brenna, it definitely wouldn't appear on the list anymore. Noir also didn't believe the system would make such a stupid mistake.
But that thing still exists, proving that Brenna has not yet become a God.
Noir has finally come up with a way to maximize profits.
Noir smiled, but this smile made August's heart feel cold. The feeling of himself becoming a puppet dancing in someone else's palm reappeared.
"I have obtained the method to help you become God level."
"May I ask you... how much do I have to pay?"
August forcibly removed this unhealthy feeling from his mind, asking heavily.
"This much is enough for Demigod level items, not expensive."
Noir held up five fingers, meaning the price was five Demigod level items.
Previously, when selling to Brenna, it was also at this price, Noir could not favor anyone. Even though this was information passed through the hands of someone before.
Seeing August remaining silent and not responding, Noir asked.
"What? You think it's expensive?
Not just normal expensive, but too expensive!
The Sword God sank into despair, for the third time.
Even if this information was accurate, even if becoming a God was worth more than five Demigod level items. August still feels too expensive. This is not wrong at all, because this is the common mentality of most people.
August is thinking the same thing right now. He is not Brenna, he does not have a pressing need to become a God, and August's path to becoming a God is not as thorny as Brenna's.
Just need to wait a few decades.
Noir also grasped August's thoughts. So he started persuading.
"Sword God August, if you miss this opportunity. Becoming a God also takes several decades."
"And under the Knight Association's situation, not to mention decades, within a few years events can occur that are hard for anyone to predict."
Noir knew, August had begun to waver.
After all, power is the most fundamental thing in this world. It's like a race for everyone from birth to death, causing everyone to risk their lives to move forward.
If overtaken, the odds of being oppressed will increase.
Only by constantly moving forward can we have the right to speak up and do what we want.
Tapping into this psychology, Noir is sure he can get 95% of the people in the world to make a deal with him.
August is no exception.
"Also, I have information that you might want to hear."
Noir decided to strike the final blow.
"The method to become that God is what Brenna bought two days ago."
"Could it be that you mean that method… can be used twice?"
"No, it can only be used once."
Hearing Noir say that, August felt like he was being tricked.
If Brenna had already become a God, he would still be stupid enough to go there. Not only were the five Demigod-level items wasted, but even his life was thrown away.
A transaction like that, August would have to be crazy to agree to do it.
"However, I can assure you that Brenna has not yet become a God."
"If you get there in time, you can both prevent the Witch Association from appearing a new God level being, and also turn yourself into a God level being. How is this proposal different from killing two birds with one stone?
This situation, to others, would decrease its value, but to the Sword God, it would increase its value. As long as August could think rationally, he would probably realize the benefits he would gain if this were to succeed.
On top of that, Noir is secretly limiting the time.
The longer you wait, the higher the chance that Brenna will become a God. That forced August to make a decision quickly.
"Sir, can you… reduce the price a little? You know, this information was sold to someone anyway…"
In the end, August decided to become a gambler.
Noir accepts the price reduction from five Demigod-level items to four Demigod-level items.
After paying, he pulled out a card similar to Brenna's and threw it to August.
"Thank you, sir."
August received the card, his heart was bleeding.
He looked towards Alva, sighed and spoke.
"Alva, please stay here temporarily for the time being. I can't take you with me on this trip."
It's even hard to say whether it's possible to return alive or not.
"Yes, master must return."
"Yeah, I'll be back."
The Sword God smiled, then turned to Noir.
"Sir, I hope you can take care of my student for a while longer."
"No problem."
Noir nodded.
August bowed one last time, then turned to leave. As soon as the Sword God's figure stepped outside the store, he disappeared.
This time, the Sword God had almost unleashed his full strength. He did not dare to waste a moment and headed straight to the location designated by Noir. Finally, after nearly half a day, August saw the large crack on the ground from before.
Unlike Brenna, August directly prepared to dive down there. In this urgent situation, August can only pray that Noir's instructions are correct.
Finally, he entered the first layer of magic.
"Someone has passed through this place before."
Demigod's senses are not only powerful, but also extremely comprehensive. Just by entering here, everything, no matter how small it is like an ant or a grain of sand, it cannot escape the observation of Demigod's senses.
Of course, that's why the traces left by Brenna were also discovered by August.
Therefore, he gave up continuing to explore the first layer and decided to proceed to the second layer.
Finally, August saw the target. It was a meditating Brenna floating in the air, the intense waves radiating around her became stronger and stronger. Brenna seems to be a bit stronger than August expected.
But still not God level.
Thinking about this, August's gaze gradually became dangerous, and he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
The battle of Demigod, begin!
