Getting the series of notifications from the demon merchant codex, Wyatt glared at the Belphegor and swallowed his rage. He was so weak, he could do nothing even if the culprit was right in front of him.
Besides he was mainly angry with the Devil Merchant Code, for allowing Belpegor to access his information despite him having paid in for the Inter-realm network"s privacy feature. Yes, Belphegor used an exclusive privilege but it was wrong of Devil Merchant Code to create an exclusive privilege that went against one of its paid features.
Wyatt was not shocked that Belphegor had an exclusive privilege, he was able to gain an exclusive privilege from the Devil Merchant Code so considering Belphegor"s transaction with it, it would be surprising if Belphegor did not have a few exclusive privileges.
Feeling Wyatt"s glare, Belphegor scoffed. Now that he had Wyatt"s demon merchant information he could use it to trace Wyatt"s footprints in the devil merchant code and find his generous patron. Deciding to make Wyatt"s last few days alive difficult the devil nonchalantly asked, "What condition?"
"My condition is that you will completely sever your connection with the plague egg as I incubate it in my body," Wyatt proposed his condition.
"Sure, but only if you agree to my condition," Belphegor said as he shared an updated devil merchant pact with Wyatt.
Receiving the update devil merchant pact, Wyatt seriously went through it to find that Belphegor"s condition could not be more obvious. It stated that "Wyatt could not sacrifice the plague egg to the Devil Merchant Code."
This made sense because once Belphegor severs his connection with the plague egg it will become ownerless. Meaning, Wyatt could sacrifice the plague egg incubated in his body to the Devil Merchant Code. Considering that it was created using the life force of a devil and a realm fragment, the Devil Merchant Code will pay a hefty amount for it or even award Wyatt another exclusive privilege.
Belphegor was not worried that Wyatt would use the Devil Merchant Code to find a solution to the plague, as he knew that it would cost Wyatt more than two or three realm fragments worth of sacrifice to get the Devil Merchant Code"s help in finding a solution for it. The devil was confident that regardless of how generous Wyatt"s new patron was, they would not be willing to part with two or three realm fragments for him.
"Okay, give me the Plague egg," Wyatt asked the devil after they signed the devil merchant pact. Wyatt has been extra careful to make sure that there wasn"t any sort of trickery in the pact.
"Here, you go," The devil pa.s.sed Wyatt the plague egg with great pleasure, it was nearing climax as it was at the precipice of getting its revenge, wiping the smudge named Wyatt off its pride and honor.
The reason Belphegor was so quick to agree to Wyatt"s condition was that Wyatt"s current strength was borrowed. Once the borrowed strength leaves him, the plague egg would instantly devour all of his life force. Claiming him as its first victim in its path to destroying whatever world he was in. Knowing this, Belphegor was more than willing to compromise as long as his plan was achieved.
Watching Wyatt about to swallow the plague egg the demiG.o.ds teared up, unable to control their emotions. They couldn"t help but feel disappointed in themselves seeing the young bright hope of their world sacrifice itself for them. There helplessness and weakness made them feel pathetic and disgusted with themselves.
As he was about to swallow the Plague egg, Wyatt looked at the self-blame apparent on the faces of the three demiG.o.ds and consoled them, "Everything is going to be alright. Don"t blame yourself, I am only doing my part for the people and the world."
Seeing the heightened emotions between the demiG.o.ds and Wyatt, the devil felt entertained. Its breath got hot and messy witnessing Wyatt swallow the plague egg and incubate it in his body. The devil then severed its connection with the plague egg with a bright face, feeling that he had finally defeated Dalton Wyatt and redeemed his lost honor and pride.
As soon as the devil severed its connection with the plague egg, Wyatt"s grimoire rang with a notification asking him if he was going to use the plague egg to satisfy one of the conditions to unlock the fourth transformation of his calamity soul gem.
[Conditions to unlock the Fourth transformation,
1. 100,000 median tier soul grades (Satisfied)
2. Evolution Ingredient (Not Satisfied)
3. SSS-rank Dungeon Core (Not Satifed)
4. ??? (Explore by Self)
5. ??? (Explore by Self)
6. ??? (Explore by Self) ]
[Do you want to use Plague Egg as an Evolutionary ingredient to unlock the fourth transformation of the calamity soul gem?
(Yes/No)]
"Yes," Wyatt agreed and suddenly his aura surged as the plague egg incubated in him was devoured by his Calamity soul gem.
Wyatt was thinking of using a strong devil ingredient with s.p.a.cial attributes as an evolutionary ingredient for his calamity soul gem but fate had other plans, It gave him the opportunity to use a plague egg created using the life force of a devil and a realm fragment as the evolutionary ingredient and Wyatt took it. As opportunistic as Wyatt was how could he let such a chance slip by?
Feeling the sudden change in Wyatt"s soul energy signature, the demiG.o.ds and the devil were surprised. Shouldn"t the Plague egg be feeding on his life force while torturing him with constant unbearable pain? Instead, after incubating the Plague egg his energy suddenly soared, as if the plague egg was boosting his strength.
"What"s happening?" Colleen asked unable to hold in her shock. A few seconds ago she was contemplating how she would explain to her granddaughter that she could not protect her grandson-in-law. But now she did not understand what was going on as a shiver of hope sparked in her heart.
