Death… And Me Chapter 2822: Stop Calling Me That

Chapter 2822: Stop Calling Me That

Beelzebub froze for a moment, never expecting to hear those words. However, he quickly recovered and snorted. "What the hell are you talking about? Did you forget you took the Fragment from Belial last time?"
Roan faintly smiled. Beelzebub's reaction a moment ago was more than proof enough to confirm the twins' suspicions.
When Hyeoumu mentioned that the Underworld Relic might be in the Underworld, they thought about the time Beelzebub was sealed. This Fragment had been gone for so long, and no one knows where it is, just like Beelzebub himself after being sealed.
When Roan asked about the Fragment, he wanted to see Beelzebub's expression. Beelzebub most likely wouldn't be expecting that question. Even though he was sealed and banished, no mentions had been made regarding a Foundation Fragment. Nonetheless, the twins knew Beelzebub was after the Fragments just like them and for a much longer time.
"Beelzebub," Roan continued. "There is no need for you to pretend to not know it. We got this information directly from the Hyeoumu. According to him, you were the one who took it back to the Underworld. Knowing you and how much you wanted the Fragments, I'm pretty sure you hid it very well."
Beelzebub cursed out loud. "That fucking fat turtle! I knew I was being observed! I knew it! But I couldn't confirm where at all. Of course, it could only be that thing." He understood that he had shown himself the moment his expression changed with the question. When Roan
mentioned Hyeoumu, that only confirmed his suspicions.
"Well, how about it, Little Fly?" Kafan took over from there. "The Semi-Celestial Souls, a guarantee no one will hunt you anymore, countless powerful souls during the next war. As long as you behave yourself after everything is over, you can do as you wish."
"Keep dreaming!" Beelzebub immediately refused. "That thing might be the secret to the Celestial Realm. I'm not giving it away."
"That's sad..." Roan, Kafan, and Rean sighed in response but didn't seem angry.
Seeing their reactions, Beelzebub immediately understood something wasn't right. "You can't attack me! Or are you going to break the pact?"
Kafan turned around and opened a Spatial Gate, preparing to leave with Rean and Roan. "You are right. We can't do anything to you, or Roan will suffer the consequences." Truth be told, Roan could eliminate the pact in his soul with Rean's help, but they didn't want to alarm Beelzebub. "Since you are not willing to part with it, we can only leave."
Beelzebub was speechless. Were they going to leave, just like that? There was something wrong. There was something extremely wrong. He could feel it deep in his soul. His instincts were screaming that this was not right. Still, he also wanted them to leave, so he was in a dilemma.
Suddenly, Roan commented as he entered the Spatial Gate. "By the way, Master, after becoming a Vassal Universe from Garisan, we should get information regarding the Celestial Realm breakthrough. Are you going to give it a try?"
Kafan quickly confirmed. "Obviously. Probably only those at the top will be privy to this information, but who do you think I am? I'm the oldest Semi-Celestial, you know? As for those who didn't contribute... Well, let's just say they will have no place in this Universe anymore when everything is done with."
The Spatial Gate then began to close... or so it was supposed to. However, Beelzebub quickly used his own Spatial Powers to force it to continue opening. "Wait right there!"
Rean, Roan, and Kafan looked back at him, puzzled. "What is it? We have things to do, so we are leaving."
"Stop the bullshit!" Beelzebub cursed them. Isn't it obvious that they totally expected him to do that? "What is this thing about information regarding the Celestial Realm? Just speak it already."
Kafan's group smiled and came out of the Spatial Gate again before Kafan began to explain. "Didn't you read the information in the communication badge? There is a Celestial Realm expert from Garisan outside. And from the looks of it, he is far from being the only one Garisan has back at their home Universes. They naturally know how to reach the Celestial Realm. Part of the plan to become a Vassal Universe is to acquire this information." Beelzebub immediately struggled. Sure, it is believed that the Fragment of the Universe Foundation might be one of the things that hold the secret to the Celestial Realm. However, that is nothing but speculation. No one has managed to use them for this until now. On the other hand, Garisan's information seems a LOT more concrete than relying on the possibility that the Fragments have such power, which no one knows.
"Let's cut to the chase. Suppose I participate in the war and give the Fragment to you. In that case, you will allow me to come out in the open, give me two Semi-Celestial Dead Souls, and also share the information regarding the Celestial Realm in case you acquire it. Is that right?" Beelzebub asked seriously.
Kafan nodded. "That's it. I'm the oldest Semi-Celestial, so I do have this deciding power. Well, we still don't know if Hyeoumu is a Semi-Celestial, but he is definitely older. In any case, it is pretty obvious which one is most likely to give you a chance to reach the Celestial Realm, and the Fragment you have definitely isn't it."
Roan shrugged. "Unless, of course, you figured out how to use the Fragment to reach the Celestial Realm. In that case, just forget we made this offer."
Ha! What a joke! If Beelzebub had found a way to enter the Celestial Realm with his Fragment, he wouldn't have been in this state to start with. He definitely tried, but he got nothing so far. Chances are he never will. Even worse, if he continues hiding, his future won't be very pleasant when things are over.
"Senior Beelzebub," Rean spoke, "I don't know if this is enough to convince you. However, if we lose this war, this Universe will be destroyed, and everyone inside will die with it. That includes you. So, even if you decide to keep the Fragment for yourself, what will you do with it once you are dead?"
"Fine!" Beelzebub finally relented. "But Kafan, we will make a pact as well! The terms are exactly what we discussed here? Do you agree?"
Kafan couldn't be happier. "But of course! I knew Little Fly wouldn't disappoint me."
"Fucking stop calling me Little Fly!" Beelzebub truly hated it.
