Chapter 1203: At the Price of Life
After two seconds, Nine Frost said calmly, “First and foremost, Greed must occupy my fate—”
“NO.” Gao Yang cut him off.
“Let me finish, Captain,” Nine Frost said earnestly.
Gao Yang took a deep breath. “Sorry. Keep going.”
“Greed has been pulling the strings since many years ago, starting the Godbearer Cult, orchestrating the White Disaster, and possessing Surnamed Li. Someone that cunning must have guessed how we’re going to deal with it.”
Gao Yang sighed. “Dragon’s fate and mine are the only ones Greed cannot pry into and occupy. To defeat it, Dragon or I have to be there.”
“Yes.” Nine Frost nodded. “But don’t you find it suspicious? Why did Greed reveal that it could not pry into your fates? Why reveal its biggest witness?”
Gao Yang frowned. “I thought about that. Although we would’ve reached the same conclusion based on the fight, it said it clearly. That seemed on purpose.”
“I believe Greed gave us that confirmation purposefully to achieve its goal.” Nine Frost held Gao Yang’s gaze. “Think about it. After learning of Greed’s weakness, we have no choice but to send you or Dragon to deal with it. Then it can prepare accordingly, creating a contingency plan to avoid danger.”
Gao Yang considered it. “It makes sense. Greed is reliant on its omniscience. It’s wary of what it cannot pry into. It’s not a bad thing for it to reveal its weakness, then at least everything will be in its control.”
Nine Frost nodded. “Then here’s the question. If you and Dragon stay out of the fight against Greed, whoever is sent there will die. If either you or Dragon go, though, Greed will avoid you. What do we do then?”
