Hell's Handbook

Chapter 378

Chimimoryo was a little puzzled and said, “Strike a deal? What sort of deal could you and I possibly strike?”

“I want you to become a god of the Handbook and leave me, so you can enjoy everything you’ve been looking forward to for such a long time, but…” Su Jin paused, then stared at Chimimoryo, “when I need you, I want you to help me just once. You have to help me, regardless of what I ask you to do.”

“Including telling me to kill myself?” snapped Chimimoryo.

Su Jin nodded and said, “Including that.”

“Don’t you think you’re asking for too much?” Chimimoryo was clearly very unhappy and felt that Su Jin was being unreasonable.

But Su Jin said, “I don’t think so. Firstly, if you miss this chance that I’m giving you, I’m afraid you won’t get the chance to become a god again until you are destroyed.”

“Humph! Are you saying that I’d be useless without you?” Chimimoryo became even angrier.

Su Jin stared at the bow and said frostily, “No, I’m not. But look at your circumstances. You don’t want to follow someone who doesn’t have the potential to become a god, and out of those who have the potential, very few need your help, especially since you’re a weapon that could possibly attack them and rob them of godhood once they become one. I don’t think there are many who have the confidence to say they can handle that. Of course, you could always pick a newbie with potential and groom them, but do you even have the time to do that?

“I sense that the current cycle is about to end. If you can’t become a god before the previous cycle is destroyed, I’m afraid you won’t even get the chance to enter the next cycle.”

Su Jin’s words made Chimimoryo fall silent. It knew that Su Jin was right. It was indeed in an awkward position right now. Most of the top tier owners had already formed their own factions and did not need to risk their future by accepting its help, since that was as good as keeping a ticking time bomb by their side. And as for those owners with no potential, Chimimoryo wasn’t going to stick with them even if they begged it to.

“Your conditions are too extreme and I don’t think anybody would agree to them. You have to lower one of them,” said Chimimoryo.

But Su Jin shook his head and said, “You are only focusing on how extreme my conditions are, but let’s also look at it this way… perhaps I might never need your help, or I might need your help, but it’s not something that would endanger your life. I’m just stating the worst case scenario here.”

Chimimoryo began to waver. Becoming a god was simply too hard, because it needed a Badge of Godhood to first transform it into a lifeform. Otherwise, it was not able to join in any fights between gods, never mind win the chance to become a god from owners at that level. This was a chance that it could have only dreamed about. Besides, Su Jin was right. It just had to agree to this deal and it might eventually only end up doing Su Jin a very small favor. If so, this would become a very favorable deal.

While Chimimoryo was still struggling to make a decision, Su Jin went on, “Thirdly, even with this agreement in place, if I manage to replace the will of the universe and rewrite the rules of the universe, then Hell’s Handbook must be destroyed. A large proportion of the gods would not be able to escape destruction, but I can grant you an exception. You can switch allegiances and become a god in my new temple.”

Chimimoryo was convinced now. While Su Jin’s words sounded boastful at first, as the only one who had chosen this path and remained undetected by the Handbook, Su Jin’s future seemed limitless.

“Deal!” Chimimoryo stopped hesitating. Everything Su Jin offered was too tempting to pass up. It might have to sacrifice a lot in the future, but the chances of that happening weren’t high.

If Su Jin failed, it might only need to do Su Jin a small favor and it could continue being a god of the new cycle. But if Su Jin succeeded, it could become a god in Su Jin’s new temple. And if it turned the deal down, then… becoming a god would be nothing more than a dream forever.

Su Jin smiled faintly. He knew Chimimoryo would definitely agree, because the benefits were too hard to resist. As long as Chimimoryo wasn’t stupid, it would definitely be tempted.

“How do we prove that this deal is on? Or this is merely an oral agreement?” asked Chimimoryo.

Su Jin did not say anything and shot out a silver beam from between his eyes and into the bow. Chimimoryo’s body began to tremble from fear. It never imagined that Su Jin would have become this powerful. Su Jin’s psychokinesis had literally pierced through its god-level body and left a mark on it.

The mark Su Jin left behind would help to keep a watch on the agreement. If Chimimoryo ever thought about betraying Su Jin, Su Jin would know about it immediately, and he would kill Chimimoryo instantly.

“Why bother striking a deal with me if you’re already this powerful? Isn’t that extra work for nothing?” Chimimoryo couldn’t believe it. Su Jin had powers above that of even a top tier god. It was a power that was beyond what the Handbook allowed, so it wasn’t a matter of just becoming stronger. One had to understand and work around the rules in order to attain this level.

Su Jin smiled and said, “Of course, I could have done this by force and make you help me by threatening to kill you. But I’m pretty sure you’d try your best to fight me if I did that and I might not be able to get the result I wanted. So… it was better to make sure you were willing to do this.”

Chimimoryo fell silent for a moment, then said to Su Jin, “Alright then, since we’ve already reached an agreement, give me the Badge of Godhood!”

“Of course I’ll give it to you. And I’ll give you extra help so that you’ll become an even more powerful god than you hoped for.” Su Jin gripped the Badge of Godhood tightly, and a brilliant light shot out from it before he pressed it onto Chimimoryo.

Chimimoryo felt a tremendous power enter its body. It was so powerful, it couldn’t control it at all, never mind absorb it and use it to transform itself. This was like a super bomb that was going to blow it to bits.

“Don’t worry, just absorb what you can and I’ll help you with the rest,” said Su Jin. Chimimoryo still wasn’t too sure about this, but he had no choice but to follow Su Jin’s instructions.

A brilliant light glowed brightly and lit up the sky above the house. Not only could everyone in S City see it, but the neighboring cities could see it too. Everyone was staring at the light in fear as Su Jin did his best to help Chimimoryo absorb all the energy from the Badge of Godhood.

After a long time, the light slowly faded. A huge number of people had gathered around Su Jin’s house because they realized the light was coming from there.

Su Jin tapped the air and a silver glow encompassed the house. He turned his psychokinesis into specks of dust and sent them into the consciousness of everyone gathered around his house so that they would forget the reason why they were here, and it would also be passed on to anyone else who had seen the bright light. Nobody would remember seeing this bright light.

Meanwhile, inside the house, the bow had fallen on its side, and a completely naked black haired girl lay next to it. Her face was filled with excitement as she touched herself in disbelief. She had a real body, a real body with flesh and blood.

“That’s quite enough, put some clothes on,” Su Jin’s eye twitched as a dress that belonged to the Demon Lord flew and covered the girl. It was a little too large, so with just one thought, Su Jin was able to alter it and make it fit her properly.

The girl was still giddy with excitement, and it took her a long time to calm down. She was still in disbelief as she said, “A high-level god… I can’t believe someone with my history could become a high-level god! This is crazy!”

“Ah, yes, it was a little difficult, but I felt that you had to reach this level in order to be of any help to me in the future,” said Su Jin with a shrug.

She bent over to pick up the bow, which was her old shell. She then looked at Su Jin and noticed that the palm he used to hold the Badge of Godhood was blackened, and his flesh was badly injured. The power of the Badge of Godhood was formidable, so such an injury was only to be expected.

“You made me into a high-level god, but aren’t you afraid that I’d go back on my word and kill you? That way, our agreement will no longer be effective!” said Chimimoryo with disdain.

But Su Jin laughed and said, “I could make you a god, so… I can destroy you just as easily. You can try and kill me if you like.”
