Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#534 - A big fish

For Liang Yue and the others, exploring how to safely and effectively integrate and utilize the aura sphere was actually a time-consuming project.

They had to set aside time, find a secluded place, and calm down to ponder it properly.

However, the current Liang Yue couldn't spare the effort to earnestly seclude himself for deep contemplation.

Whether it was regarding the matters of the Human Mother Box, or other planned arrangements, he had to make deployments as soon as possible.

Therefore, after handing the ball to Hinata and asking her to temporarily familiarize herself with the nature of this energy, Liang Yue turned around and released the ghost god that he had condensed into a ball from his Tenson Korin space.

Well, its current state was no longer that of a ball.

It seemed that this ghost god indeed had some tricks up its sleeve~

After breaking free from the weakened version of the Planetary Devastation gravity field, it had now transformed into a ghoul about two meters tall.

It had all the facial features and limbs, a single horn growing on its forehead, wore a simple yet heavy suit of armor, and silver flames floated around its body.

Ferocious yet carrying a hint of imposingness, it looked quite impressive~

… …

"Tell me, besides being able to use soul power to strengthen equipment and temporarily amplify combat power, what else can you do?"

On one side of the lava furnace, Liang Yue and the others were currently arranged in a semicircle, a dozen or so people sitting seemingly casually on chairs, their eyes fixed on the ghost god opposite the furnace without blinking.

An invisible aura, mixed with many layers, had completely locked onto the opponent.

Besides this, Liang Yue, this guy, had even directly set up a special gravitational field around the courtyard, and also put a layer of Mirror Space around it a little further away… …

In order to bargain with this ghost god, Liang Yue could be said to have exhausted all means~

"I, can impart to you, the Ghost Clan's, secret, combat skills."

Upon hearing this, the ghost god's eyes flickered with ghostly fire a few times, and then it spoke in an awkward island nation accent.

That seemed to be a way of communication that touched the soul, so that although the two sides spoke different languages, it did not hinder normal communication.

Of course, for Liang Yue and the others who had the 《Language Mastery》 skill, it was actually just superfluous.

"I already knew those, say something I don't know, think carefully before you speak, this is related to your future treatment, and whether you can survive in my hands."

Hearing the other party's words, Liang Yue smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curving into a cruel arc.

Under the illumination of the firelight, he was faintly endowed with a kind of eerie flavor~

"… … You, how can you, let me leave?"

After all, it was a negotiation, how could he reveal his purpose without clearly understanding the other party's depth?

And the concept of satisfaction in his mouth was actually very vague in its boundaries.

The specific standard was entirely up to Liang Yue himself to control~

"I can also, give you a precious, soul cultivation method, after reaching a certain stage, your soul, can produce devouring, and absorbing soul power, ability.

And, don't worry, there will be no, side effects!"

"Then, you can become this ghostly look?"

"… … You don't trust me, I also have no, way, I can only guarantee, that cultivation method, is my Ghost Clan, passed down from generation to generation, secret technique."

"Trust… … Well, if we're talking about trust, I do have a way to try you out."

"What, method?"

"Let's sign a contract, at least it can add an insurance to our cooperation."

"… … Can."

At this time, there was indeed a lack of trust between Liang Yue and this ghost god.

In the end, the relationship between the two parties was at most a relationship of coercion and being coerced, even the races were different, where did the trust come from?

As for the contract that Liang Yue mentioned~

Alright~

In fact, regarding this kind of mysterious thing, from beginning to end, he would only believe in one kind.

That was, the contract under the system association~

Therefore, what Liang Yue wanted to sign with the other party at this time was naturally the villager contract under system certification!

"Then you wait, I'll find it first."

After saying that, Liang Yue moved his mind and summoned his villager contract interface, flipped to the DC World item frame, and then searched for the one belonging to the ghost god opposite in the dense pile of character information bars~

About half a minute later, he finally found the information about the other party in a corner.

"A member of the fallen old gods, now in a state of extreme injury and weakness… …"

"Sure enough, I had already guessed that the other party's identity would not be simple, I didn't expect it to really be a god~"

"What Ghost Clan, what ghost god, ghost warrior, it turned out to be just a guise!"

"However, how did such an existence run to that ghostly place in the island nation?"

"Speaking of~ If it's just targeting its disability, the system should be able to handle it, right?"

"Never mind! Being able to encounter such a one can also be considered a profit, give it to me~!"

In the blink of an eye, Liang Yue tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and with a flamboyant orchid finger, he stabbed the invitation button in front of him fiercely.

In the next moment, the ghost god opposite him also followed with a tremor, obviously having received the information sent by the system~

Afterwards, the two sides fell into a silent confrontation.

This ghost god was obviously hesitating~

Because, according to the women around Liang Yue, this villager contract sent by the system was actually extremely simple.

Besides a bar marked with agree and reject, it didn't show any other content terms at all.

As a contract, this was obviously extremely unfair.

After all, as the signing party, they couldn't even see the specific content of this contract.

Besides the system, where else was there such a hegemonic clause?

The ghost god opposite was a transcendent being that had existed for who knows how many years, presumably also a person with extensive knowledge, obviously also knowing the ways of this.

In this situation, it would be a ghost if it could agree without hesitation~

However, as a former old god, no matter what kind of glory and status it had in the past, the other party's current identity was just a prisoner who was extremely weak.

The choices left for it were not many~

And~ Saying it was a choice, in fact Liang Yue only left this ghost god with the right to gamble with himself.

And in order to add a positive energy to the other party's decision, someone then directly opened his Thunder Fire Wood domain.

Thunder, Fire, Wood, the three elemental attributes were fully opened, surrounding the small courtyard at this time.

Then slowly, bit by bit, it contracted and squeezed towards the ghost god opposite.

Thus~

Finally, about five minutes later, when the violent lightning containing the power of heavenly tribulation was about to approach within three meters of the ghost god's body.

Liang Yue finally ushered in the other party's compromise with anticipation.

In a sigh containing vicissitudes and emotion, another powerful member besides his mother was finally welcomed into someone's villager team~

… …

"So, you are an existence from outside this multiverse."

The information flow brought by the villager contract and shared skills did not seem to bring much trouble to this former old god.

Although it couldn't compare to Liang Yue's mother's initial state, who only frowned slightly before ending the whole process.

But this ghost god in an extremely weak state, only recovered to normal after digesting it for a short tens of seconds.

This kind of receiving ability was definitely something that Liang Yue could not reach now!

However, feeling the emotional fluctuations of accident and surprise that were faintly emanating from the other party's body at this time.

Liang Yue felt that it should also be very satisfied with its current villager status.

"In this way, there is no trust issue between us, right?"

"Of course!"
