Chapter 1144: Trust between people?

"Sign it!" Aaron urged meaningfully, "Prove your sincerity to me."

"Uh..." Lucifer smiled awkwardly but politely, "Isn't it inappropriate for you to ask me to sign a contract when we first meet?

I don't mean anything else, but people should have more trust in each other, right?"

"It's indeed inappropriate." Aaron did not comment, and then changed the subject, "But I really can't trust a stranger I met for the first time.

You know, for Gaius, only a contract written in black and white can make him feel at ease. "

Lucifer laughed, "Okay! Maybe I forgot to add that.

I can give you a portion of the Origin of Hell, but I hope that after you become the Lord of the Dimension, you can... serve me."

"This is really cheap. You want Gaius to work for you just for a portion of the Origin of Hell?"

“Let me correct you, it’s not selling my life.

You can think of it as recognizing me as the boss." Lucifer held his head high and straightened his suit, "I promise I won't treat you unfairly. My brothers in hell can prove it for me and speak for me."

"is it?"

"of course."

"Okay! I can accept your sincerity once again." Aaron said, and then added an 'appendix' to the contract.

Lucifer's face twitched, "This?"

“Don’t mind, I actually really want a big brother who I can rely on.

I can't thank you enough for having this ability and this idea!

It’s just that...some things are better to be made clear in advance, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings later.”

"This contract may not be particularly detailed, but it has included all the responsibilities and obligations I can think of, and can guarantee the 'friendship and respect between brothers' to the greatest extent."

"You can take a look at it and sign it if you are sure it is okay. Then you will be my half-brother."

Hearing this, Lucifer looked strange and his smile was particularly forced.

But he still picked up the contract and read it carefully. After all, he was the Demon King and had created many contracts. There was no reason why he couldn't find loopholes in the contract.

However, the more he watched, the more speechless Lucifer became.

Each of them represents the care, love, and welfare that the boss should show to the younger one, but the younger one only shows superficial respect to the boss.

This is not just accepting a younger brother, this is clearly accepting an ancestor!

But this is not a bad thing. He has played with such "naive" contracts before, and there are plenty of loopholes that can be exploited.

But when he was about to finish reading, Lucifer almost broke down.

Aaron Gaius, the drafter of the contract, has the right to terminate the contract at any time. (The final right of interpretation belongs to Aaron Gaius himself)

He swore to his biological father, God, that if he had seen this one at the beginning, he would not even look at the dozens or hundreds of others that followed.

“Isn’t this one inappropriate?”

"You really saw this far?" Aaron blurted out with some surprise.

Lucifer's face darkened instantly. The artistic element in this sentence was too high, at least as high as three or four floors.

Such an important point was not placed at the beginning or at the end, but at two-thirds of the way through. If he did not have enough patience, he might have missed it.

If he signed this contract without thinking, he would be in big trouble.

He did not yet have the ability to break Gaius's contract.

"Won't you explain?" Lucifer asked with a kind smile.

"What's there to explain?" Aaron asked knowingly, "I wrote it very simply, it's easy to understand!

Do you think there is something wrong?"

Hey!

You are taking advantage of me!

I have seen shameless, never seen such shameless.

Lucifer complained in his heart, and then pointed at the one he had just seen, "You can cancel the contract at any time? And the final right of interpretation still belongs to you?"

"Well..." Aaron pondered for a moment and sighed, "You should know that I am not from this universe. I will go home sooner or later.

When that day comes, you will definitely be reluctant to leave me, so...

But don't worry, I will definitely return the origin you gave me to you when I leave, but I will never forget this friendship as a brother."

"Ha! Haha!" Lucifer laughed angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

"No!

If you don’t believe me, I can draw up another contract to prove it.”

Lucifer stopped pretending and said directly: "You should understand what the status of the Lord of Hell means? Immortal life and powerful power."

"very clear."

"I'm using my origin to exchange for your service to me. Isn't this sincerity enough?

Even if this is a deal, I didn’t let you suffer any loss.”

"But I don't want to!" Aaron said nonchalantly, "I have the ability to be immortal, but as for the powerful strength...

I am Gaius after all. I don’t have it now, but I may have it in the future.”

"You want to tie me down with something I already have, or something I will get in the future? That's ridiculous.

I have a bright future, why should I go to hell?" Aaron looked at Lucifer with a smile, "Besides, I'm only 24 years old!

This age is just a blink of an eye for an angel like you who is born with great power and endless life.

But it’s different for me, I’m still young and I want to go home, spend the rest of my life with the person I love, inherit a magic school, lie down peacefully, and live a comfortable life.

I will not give up these desires just for the position of a Hell Lord, do you understand?"

"I understand." Lucifer suppressed his anger a little and said calmly, "You are just teasing me."

“I repeat, I don’t have that intention.

I am more than happy to accept the gift and friendship of the Lord of Hell, but all I can give in return is the friendship of Gaius.

No, to be more precise, it is my friendship. I am not even the patriarch of the Gaius family now, so I cannot represent the entire family."

"Heh!" Lucifer leaned back in his chair, "I wanted to negotiate peacefully."

"I never thought of having any conflict with you."

“But if you don’t accept my toast, then you’ll have to drink the penalty wine.” Lucifer said with his pupils bloodshot and his face quickly turned into a demon.

Then, a door with flames burning and yellow-brown energy flowing appeared under their feet.

"Do you mind coming with me to visit hell?" Lucifer turned into a well-mannered gentleman again and asked politely.

Aaron sniffed the sulfur in the air and frowned slightly. "Actually, I do mind it a little."

Do you mind? Does minding help?

No one can refuse the invitation of the Lord of Hell, no one...

Lucifer felt pleased with himself, but the smile on his face disappeared after a moment.

Suddenly, a thick shadow appeared, covering every corner of the restaurant, and even the lights turned into a strange grayish white.

As this shadow appeared, the Gate of Hell seemed to stagnate and its speed became extremely slow.

"The power of darkness? Dormammu?

No, it's not Dormammu, it's a similar energy." Lucifer looked at Aaron in doubt, "It seems that I don't know you well enough!"

“If you have been to my church, you should know the hymn to the God of Contract. It is not without reason that I call myself the Lord of Shadows.

Shadow dimension, wherever the shadows are, that is my territory.

Although I cannot compare to Hell in size, I am still considered the master of the dimension.

As long as I don't want to, it seems unrealistic for you to invite me to hell as a guest."

"But you are here! Right in front of me." Lucifer smiled instead of getting angry. "Do you think your shadow can fight against hell?"

"I don't think so, but..." Aaron paused, then opened the spiritual dimension.

In an instant, the shadows around dissipated, the pure sky isolated the darkness and chaos outside, and the restaurant turned into a clear and transparent lake, with a group of colorful fish swimming beneath the lake.

“I am also the creator of the mind.”

Lucifer was stunned for a moment, then bent down and scooped up a handful of lake water.

Feeling the cool touch on his hands, he drank the lake water.

Dense bubbles burst in his mouth, and the sour, sweet and refreshing feeling surprised him.

"Soda?"

"Soda Lake, the whole lake is soda."

"Is this... the real world?"

"Yeah." Aaron didn't comment. "When I was studying at the magic school, I accidentally gained a kind of power that gave me an immortal soul and almost endless spiritual power."

“Under the guidance of my family ancestors, I began to use this spiritual power to open up my spiritual world.

As my magic power increased, my spiritual world transformed from a tiny, illusory spiritual space to the current spiritual dimension."

“Although the scale is a little smaller now, the growth potential is unlimited.

In addition, this is a dimensional world that belongs entirely to me. Wherever I am, my spiritual dimension is there.

Compared with other dimensional masters, my thoughts and consciousness will not be assimilated by the dimension.

I don't need to be in a dimension, nor do I need any medium to use the power of the dimension at any time."

"How did you do it?" The calmness on Lucifer's face disappeared, replaced by nervous curiosity.

“I integrated the shadow dimension into the spiritual world, and through a real dimension, transformed the spiritual world into a real dimensional universe.

The scale has been expanded countless times, which can be regarded as a shortcut!"

"You..." Lucifer looked at Aaron in front of him seriously, "How did you do it?"

"I've already told you, without a single lie."

"Even if you get a shadow dimension, you don't have enough power to integrate it into the spiritual world. This is not something you can do."

"In fact, I can." Aaron smiled slightly proudly, "With enough patience, I have completely mastered the Shadow Dimension, just like God controls Heaven.

But I was not in a hurry to merge the two dimensions. Instead, I accumulated enough magic power before taking action."

"You are just a sub-father, where do you get so much energy?" Lucifer said as a matter of course, then suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Heavenly Father?"

"Yeah." Aaron nodded shyly, "I am a magician after all, and I have many ways to split my magic power into two.

Although the consequence of doing so is that the combat power of the original body and the clone will be less than one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the total, it is at least low-key and safe.

For many powerful people in this universe, the Heavenly Father is worthy of attention, but the Sub-Heavenly Father...except for the first bird that stands out, I'm afraid you are too lazy to even take a look at the others."

“It’s just like now.

If you knew that I am the Heavenly Father, you would definitely be fully prepared before inviting me to visit hell, and it would be difficult for me to refuse at that time.

But in your eyes, I am just a sub-father who can be easily manipulated, so you came directly to me without making any preparations. "

“Confidence is a good thing, but arrogance… is a bad thing.

You came to me with full confidence, but you also put the initiative in my hands."

"I really didn't expect that." Lucifer nodded grimly, "How old are you? How could you be the Heavenly Father?"

"Not counting the time I spent training in the other two universes, I'm about 24 years old!"

"Ha! Haha!" Lucifer smiled with a forced smile, "The 24-year-old Heavenly Father still has a dimensional universe under his 100% control.

Are you kidding me? Your other two ancestors weren't that outrageous!"

"I don't count on Ancestor Trick, but I may be able to surpass Ancestor Horn."

Hearing this, Lucifer lost the mood to joke. If Aaron was the sub-father, he wouldn't mind wasting more time on him.

Playing tricks on Gaius can in a sense prove that he is better than God.

Although there is a suspicion of bullying the weak, I can still feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart.

But he never expected that Aaron would be a heavenly father, and have a dimension completely belonging to him, so he had to put away his little thoughts.

If it was just the Father, he wouldn't mind a head-on fight.

If bribery doesn't work, he can use coercion, and he won't have any psychological burden.

Moreover, he did not think that he could not defeat the opponent. His strength was not among the top few among the Heavenly Fathers, but he was definitely at the top.

But if the Lord of Dimension is added, it won’t work. He is the Lord of Dimension, and he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to kill the Lord of Dimension.

Ancient One and Mephisto spent hundreds of years, but they still couldn't do anything to him!

If you can win the fight, but there is no benefit other than wasting your energy, then there is no need to fight at all.

"Okay! I was rash this time." Lucifer waved his hand apologetically, "Just pretend I have never been here today. Can you please let me leave this beautiful world?"

"I'm sorry, but not at this time."

"Hmm?" Lucifer was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I know." Aaron smiled awkwardly, "But please be considerate of me. I really can't pretend that this didn't happen.

It doesn’t matter if Ancient One knows my identity, and it doesn’t matter if Odin knows my identity, but it’s a big deal if the Lord of Hell knows my identity.”

"If I let you go today, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep or eat well for the rest of my life!"
