Chapter 272
The Reaper Organization and the Netherworld couldn’t even interfere with a magic-wielding DIO necromancer user—a being that was, in principle, the closest with the beings of the Netherworld. In other words, their hands were tied when it came to Yongno.
Myung possessed enormous power and authority as one of the top figures of the Reaper Organization. However, just like how the police on Earth could not arrest ordinary citizens without cause, Myung could not punish or interfere with Yongno without good reason.
On Earth, corrupt police officers or prosecutors might take advantage of loopholes in the law or even go against the law outright, whereas the beings of the Netherworld strictly adhered to their rules and regulations. If they were to ever waver from their clearly marked paths, they’d instantly be hell-bound.
Myung was a Netherworld being with great mental powers and an almost infinite lifespan, but he would rather die and enter the Samsa-ra system—the reincarnation system—than spend a thousand years in hell.
“Fine. Then let’s negotiate and come to an agreement.”
“Negotiate over hundreds of millions of souls? I need to continue living on Earth, so I don’t really want to make any drastic decisions that’ll jeopardize my life and social standing on Earth.”
Of course, Yongno wasn’t an angel who would sacrifice himself for others. However, since they were talking about hundreds of millions of souls, Yongno had no choice but to be a bit more pensive.
They were talking about souls whose bodies had already perished and only had their souls remaining in DIO, but Yongno was still reluctant to be the one who decided to send hundreds of millions of human souls to the Netherworld.
“Hey, do you want to go to hell when you die?”
