Chapter 484-First Costumer
"Father!"
"Emperor!"
Everyone was nervous, expressing concern for Muller's condition.
"Come here, Naga."
Muller waved his hands, summoning his daughter to approach him.
Naga didn't reject and went near her father, her eyes starting to moisten.
"Naga, you are the most talented child I have, and I know that you didn't want me to be overprotective since you were a child. But I cannot do anything about it because I love you all, my child."
"I know that your feelings for me as your father are not good, but I want you to know that no matter what happens, please don't agree to that bastard."
"The Metal Emperor is a traitor to our human race, and if you agree to the proposal of his son, I cannot rest even in hell. I cannot forget how Metal Emperor and the demons killed my friend, Flaming Emperor, and the other humans."
"I wish I was strong enough to protect them, but I reached my limitations, and my talent was exhausted."
"Naga, please support your brother in managing the empire and protect them for me."
Muller looked at his children, and each of them started to cry.
After he spoke to his other child and his wife, his eyes closed, and one of the emperors of the human race had passed away.
. . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . .
"I wish I was stronger. I am useless and cannot protect everything I have. I enjoy the privilege as the Human Emperor, and many are relying on me, but I let them down."
Muller, in his spectral state, felt stunned when he realized he was in front of a dark space, and a golden watch appeared in front of him.
"Do you seek something or want power? Enter the Hall of Chaos, and your prayers will be granted."
A strange voice entered Muller's head, confusing him. He took the floating watch, and suddenly, a golden door appeared.
His soul instinctively walked on its own, as if attracted to it.
Entering the golden door, he found himself in a spacious hall, filled with floating lights and treasures.
Two black 100-meter statues stood to the side, and he saw a man wearing a white mask with a terrifying aura.
"Welcome to the Hall of Chaos. I am the Master of Chaos and the Omnipotent Being. I can grant any of your wishes as long as you pay the equivalent price."
Muller was stunned, looking at the man warily. The man's aura was powerful, making him feel like an insignificant ant.
The mysterious aura convinced him that this place was real, not just his imagination.
"Who are you? Is what you said true?"
Muller asked nervously, awaiting an answer.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
Dave was astonished because he didn't expect his affinity with the human race to be very good, and he had already helped the people of the Flaming Emperor.
However, meeting the Lightning Emperor was a surprise.
He calmed himself and looked at the man who questioned him.
"Just as I said, I am the Master of Chaos, the omnipotent one. I can grant any of your wishes as long as you pay an equivalent price," he stated calmly.
It was his first time receiving a customer, so he tried his best to look serious.
Muller was desperate, so he knelt in front of him and said, "Please help my human race to defeat the traitor Metal Emperor and the other races."
Dave was stunned, but he laughed and sneered at him.
"Hehe, with your meager status, you cannot afford the payment. Ask for something different..."
Dave didn't lie because, even though he wanted to help, the Hall of Chaos prioritized benefits over anything.
Just as he said, any request must be paid with an equal payment. The Hall of Chaos had already calculated that the payment for the Lightning Emperor's request was something he couldn't afford, even if he sacrificed his life.
The Lightning Emperor smiled bitterly, knowing that his request was too much.
So he asked again, "If that's the case, please let me go back and support my empire for 100 years."
He wanted to be resurrected, but Dave replied, "It is possible, but what can you pay me?"
Muller replied, "I can give you all of my wealth in my empire."
"Not enough. All of your treasures have already been estimated, and from their number, you can only extend your life to 20 years, and I will collect your soul after that,"
Dave said calmly, and Muller was stunned, feeling despair again.
"What? 20 years is not enough for me. It's hard to achieve something within 20 years; it's just a blink of an eye," Muller protested.
Dave explained again, "Your request goes against the rule of the God of Life and Death, so the payment is just right. We only ask for the payment that equals the request of our customer. But don't despair; I can give you a suggestion."
Dave felt that he should give some favor to his fellow human, so he said, "I will resurrect you, heal your condition, and even help you to kill the Metal Emperor, but you must become my slave and sell me your soul."
Dave had already read the description of his customer, so he knew the story about Muller's predicament.
When the Flaming Emperor died, the Metal Emperor got the support of the Demon Race, and they attacked other empires as well.
All of them were forced to hide inside their world and seal themselves. Even so, the demons continued to try to infiltrate their world, and the Metal Emperor managed to capture two human empires, the Water Empire and the Wind Empire.
The Water and Wind Emperors were captured, and their status was unknown.
The Metal Emperor's army managed to forcefully open the Lightning Emperor's World, and Muller fought personally against the Metal Emperor.
They were evenly matched, but he was ambushed by five demon generals, wounded, and inflicted with demon blood.
Since then, he decided to retreat, but a lot of casualties were recorded.
Luckily, the other empires joined forces and helped him, managing to expel the Metal Emperor's army and the demons, but they knew it was just temporary.
Due to the wound he got, he became weaker day by day, and after 10 years, the Metal Emperor didn't stop pestering him.
However, he didn't take action personally because he wanted the Metal Emperor to serve him. But his pride as an emperor and the scene of the Metal Emperor's betrayal couldn't be forgotten easily.
The Metal Emperor never stopped, but Metal Emperor didn't attack personally and only sent his son to attack the world.
The Prince of the Metal Empire was wicked and knew that the Lightning Emperor was wounded.
He proposed a marriage contract to marry the eldest princess, Naga, who was the most beautiful woman in the empire and one of the strongest.
The Prince of the Metal Empire was a trash prince who had only reached Heavenly Sovereign after 10,000 years of living, but he was arrogant because he had a strong personal guard and was the son of the Metal Emperor.
He grasped the weakness of the Lightning Emperor and wanted to make him feel despair by toying with his beautiful daughter.
However, the Lightning Emperor couldn't hide his motives, so he rejected the proposal many times.
The anger of the Metal Emperor reached its peak due to his persistence, and he announced that he would now personally raid the Lightning Empire after 30 years if the Lightning Emperor still didn't surrender to him.
It had been 7 years since he announced it, and he only had 23 years to prepare. How could he accept the 20 years the mysterious man suggested?
