Chapter 796: What Do You Want!
The next day.
The Five Elders, following Im's order, transferred Araki, the current Army Headquarters Vice Admiral, and began renovating the Room of Authority into the Flower Chamber.
And this was done under Historia's direction.
There was no other way.
After all, there were only two Heavenly Empresses currently, and Esdeath had no interest in participating in such matters. So, naturally, it was done according to Historia's aesthetic and will.
Im also trusted her.
Historia's personality was kind and gentle, and she had excellent compatibility with nature. She naturally possessed a temperament that could calm any Animals and allow her to get along with them friendly.
As for the beautiful Butterflies she wanted, that would have to be handled by others.
The World Government now had many capable individuals, so this small Matter shouldn't be a problem.
At the same time.
Im sat on the long-unused Empty Throne.
He coldly watched the figure stepping onto the Red Carpet, wearing shining Black Leather Boots, between the two Giant God Soldiers flanking the slowly opening Main Gate of the Main Hall.
A slender and elongated figure, a fluffy black afro, a well-fitting Black Suit paired with a blue tie, a Purple Sheathed Cane Sword held in a Bone Claw, and a pale Skull completely devoid of Flesh and Blood.
Brook!
A current member of CIPHER POL-No.9, and also the superstar 'Soul King' with countless fans in the World.
However, his originally empty Eyes were now burning with purple flame.
[Thump!]
The 'Fire Giant' Surtr and the 'Frost Giant' Utgard outside closed the Main Gate again. For a Time, only Im and Brook remained in the Empty Hall.
The former sat high up on the three-tiered platform, while the latter stood below the platform on the Red Carpet, looking up.
This scene.
It reminded Im of the first Time he met 'the other party'.
Not Brook.
But King Yama!
"It's been a long Time, Ruler of the Human World, Im."
'Brook's' tone was meaningful, and his Voice had become much hoarser.
"Our transaction ended long ago, so there's naturally no need to meet again," Im replied Expressionlessly, then spoke again, "However... I heard you wanted to see me, so state your purpose."
In just a few words.
He directly defined this meeting as the other party actively seeking him out, and also told King Yama that the one with a request now was him, not me!
"Hehehe, This Venerable One is here to resolve the misunderstanding between us."
"There is no misunderstanding between us, the previous transaction was very smooth," Im replied indifferently.
'Brook' shook his head, "The misunderstanding This Venerable One speaks of is wanting you to understand that you don't need to be overly afraid of This Venerable One, because This Venerable One holds no Malice towards you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Im narrowed his Eyes, and the Atmosphere in the Palace Hall instantly dropped to freezing point.
No.
It should be said that the very Air in the Palace Hall was shaking, and at the same Time, terrifying Pressure descended, a tangible Pressure affecting both Gravity and Spirit, enveloping every corner of the Main Hall without affecting the outside at all.
But even so.
Surtr and Utgard outside the Main Gate still felt an uncontrollable Chill and Fear.
"It seems there truly is a misunderstanding between us, making you think I am afraid of you."
Im's Gaze held incredible Power, and his Body exuded a terrifying, soul-stirring Killing Intent: "But the first thing you said earlier was very correct. I am indeed the Ruler of the Human World, and you are speaking to me in the Human World."
"Kneel!"
Suddenly, Im let out a loud shout. The Pressure in the Air instantly surged several times, the Air went from shaking directly to trembling, and also produced golden Flowing Light.
[Bang!]
The next moment, 'Brook' heavily knelt on one knee. Just as he was about to fall to both knees, a burst of purple Flame Aura erupted from his Body, barely blocking the suppression of the golden Haki.
"Im, you should Understand that This Venerable One is only speaking to you through this person. What's the point of suppressing him?"
'Brook' asked with clear, suppressed Rage in his tone. Im sneered, "Just consider it that I like watching you speak while kneeling."
"Hmph!"
'Brook' could no longer suppress his Rage and demanded, "Im, are you sure you want to sever the possibility of Cooperation with This Venerable One?"
"I am merely resolving the misunderstanding between us."
Im placed his Right Hand on the armrest of the Empty Throne, supporting his Palm with his Chin, and replied casually.
"As for Cooperation, you can talk about it."
Half-kneeling on the Red Carpet, the purple Flame in 'Brook's' Eyes flickered. After a moment, he said in a deep Voice, "Alright, This Venerable One mistakenly thought you were afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to ask, "So, since you are not afraid of This Venerable One, why are you no longer giving Otherworld Souls from worlds after the Demon Slayer World, and why are you no longer coming to This Venerable One's Hell to undergo Soul Cultivation?"
"Because I found a new Method to improve my Strength, I naturally no longer need to go to your Hell, nor do I need to give you more Otherworld Souls~"
After speaking, Im dispersed all the Haki in the Main Hall. 'Brook' below the platform also took the opportunity to stand up.
Neither side dwelled on the Matter that had just occurred, because they both clearly understood what was most important. However, from now on, they could be considered to be communicating on equal footing.
One was the Ruler of the Sea Star Human World, and the other was the Ruler of the Sea Star Underworld.
The latter remained silent for a long Time, the Atmosphere extremely oppressive.
"Im, you must Understand that for a World, although the Human World and the Netherworld seem distinct, they are actually two sides of the same coin, complementing each other."
'Brook' began to speak earnestly.
"Think about it, since This Venerable One can find the location where Souls are born into the Netherworld, there must also be existences similar to This Venerable One who can find their way here through the Souls of our Sea Star People."
"At that Time, if This Venerable One is defeated, then the Sea Star's Netherworld will change hands. Will you, the Ruler of the Human World, be able to rest easy then?"
Im naturally understood this Principle.
Just as the World Government cannot stop its Footwork of Conquest now, King Yama's side also cannot stop the Speed of strengthening himself.
Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be annexed by a stronger Lord of the Underworld.
So, he had actually been waiting.
Waiting for the other party to find him.
Im's Golden Pupils with two circles of Ripple stared directly at the other party's fiercely burning purple Flame Eyes, asking forcefully, "Then if I give you more Otherworld Souls, what can you bring me?"
"'Brook' said in a deep Voice, "This Venerable One can assist you in Combat through the Body of this Yomi-Yomi no Mi User. In the Future, any problems on the Soul level can also be left to This Venerable One to resolve!""
"That's not enough!"
"Then what do you want?"
Im's Gaze flickered, asking, "Can you summon the Souls of the Deceased back to the Human World and let them possess their various Abilities from before death?"
"Impossible, this violates the Rules of the Planet Will, This Venerable One cannot do it!"
'Brook' immediately refused. However, Im pressed on, "Under what circumstances might it be possible?"
After all, as far as he knew, there were many 'examples' of Souls returning to the real Human World in Soul Form to fight, such as Son Goku and others in the Dragon Ball World who could return to Combat with a Halo above their heads.
"This Venerable One is also not clear, but if the Planet Will hasn't been born yet, or if the Planet Will disappears, perhaps the Lord of the Underworld might be able to do it, but it's not certain."
'Brook' said with some hesitation.
"Hmm?"
Im raised an eyebrow.
