Chapter 303: Negotiation

-I'm sorry...what?-

-Yes, your grandmother wants you to have an arranged marriage- Dabria replied

-His girlfriends would never allow that- Diana commented -Nor will he, he maybe a pervert but even he has standards-

-Yeah, that's right-

-Well apparently Nyx have prepared a dowry to get you married- Dabria said

-Yeah, not happening-

-Well at least, get some rest tonight, meet your brothers and negotiate with the 3 reincarnates- Dabria insisted

-Bring us along too- Damon requested -We need to listen and give out our opinions-

-Don't forget your girlfriends- Ace reminded -We should warp them back to the hotel room when we meet up in the dream-

Zach, Alice, and Stella will continue to do what they're doing while everyone else will meet up in our dreams. I pulled in Nova, Dabria, my bonds, my girlfriends, Aenon, Helena, and the 3 reincarnates into this sort of ice cream parlor since I like to have our meeting over food.

It didn't take long till I see my 3 godly brothers join in. If you're wondering that if I pulled in the gods responsible for Luca and Kate too, I didn't. Morpheus then just repeated what Dabria told me.

"Well aren't you Mr. popular?" Nova chuckled "Anyone here up for a game of chess while we listen to all this?"

"I'll indulge you brother" Dabria responded as the 2 then arranged a game of 4 player chess with Ace and Siege.

They're supposed to be here to help give their opinions, not play chess while eating a dream ice cream. I question my companion choices sometimes.

"Now that I look at these 2 closer, they're beautiful" Kate commented as she looked at my 2 girlfriends "Cordelia definitely has a beauty befitting a princess while Elizabeth is an athletic girl, but yet beautiful. Can't believe Nyx don't believe that you're good enough."

"I thought that you were going to say that they're both out of my league"

"You said that, not me"

"Tch, if you want negotiation, you're not making a good progress. I am in power here, I have justifiable reason to kill everyone I hate in this world. Besides, you want to know the advantage of being the demon lord, I just learned it recently when I got crowned...the more living beings I kill, the stronger I get, it extends to my bonds as well."

"We have a list" Albert then gave me this list of names "Spare them at least, no torture, no harm of any kind of them or their families."

"What will I get out of this?"

"Less work, you hate them, right? Fortunately for us, you now how to deal with the problem of a possible arranged marriage, you'll have to solve that wile getting revenge" Albert answered

"Not just that, but we'll help you gather allies to go against Eros" Helena added

"That does sound good" Damon nodded "If we have to sacrifice a reincarnate in the future, we'll at least know which people to go for"

"Brother, don't scare them anymore than they are" Diana advised

"Well am I allowed to add a few more things then?"

"As long as it's reasonable" Albert answered

"There's a neutral god in this world, a particular son of Zeus who will definitely be useful in the future, I plan to meet him. So I need you to arrange me a meeting with him."

"Ah him, good choice" Phantasos nodded as him and my brothers realize who I was talking about

"Get an autograph for me too" Nova requested "If possible, ask me to descend, I want a selfie with him"

"Another Greek god?" Luca asked "And son of Zeus, narrow it down please. I'm a nerd for Greek mythology too, but there are too many"

"Well he was more known for his heroic deeds than being a god...Heracles, I plan on recruiting Heracles as an ally and I want to do it personally."

"Who?" Luca asked

"Heracles...or you may know him as Hercules"

"Ohh..."

"For a Greek mythology nerd, you suck."

"He prefers to be called Heracles since he's actually Greek" Phobetor pointed out

"It's kinda funny since he's actually a descendent of the original Perseus, the fates really work in strange ways" Phantasos laughed

"Which is kinda messed up since he's both a descendent of a son of Zeus while also being the son of Zeus, so he's both a brother to Perseus while being his descendent. He also married Hebe, his sister, after becoming a god."

"We're Greek gods, our bloodline is like a ball of yarn" he joked "But that's a great idea, he's a neutral god and is currently working as an enforcer. He also took a neutral stance, but he'll be a great morale boost if you get him on our side."

"Yeah, many gods respect him. I think you're also going to make a great impression with him," Morpheus agreed "Even among the younger gods, most call him Hercules instead of Heracles, he doesn't mind, but he rather be called by his original nickname"

"Brother, have you resolved the problem of the god that's attached to your soul yet?" Phantasos asked

"Nope, he hasn't contacted me in a while."

"Well you will need help from his living son then" Phobetor suggested "If there's anyone that can give you better advice, it's an immortal wanderer"

"Ok, I'm actually clueless for once, Dabria, you know who they're talking about?"

"Nope" Dabria answered "I'm particularly curious myself. Zach can also classify as a semi immortal wandering lich, but he can't help with this."

"It's Cain" Phantasos claimed which surprises me, my bonds, and the twin gods. "Son of Adam. Adam is the spirit that has been attached to you."

*****

"But Adam isn't a god"

"He isn't, he lived in his version of heaven" Phantasos replied "But after all this time, he definitely have enough power to rival a god. It's due to having a lot of believers, if you managed to separate from him, he'll go back to heaven properly this time"

"And should you be telling me this?"

"Nope, but an advice about Cain, even if he can help, he definitely won't do it for free. He will request for a way into heaven, the same heaven that he's banished from, not the other versions of heaven. And the other is death, grant him his long awaited death"

"Fuck"
