Death... and me
chapter-2550

?Law Pills, and a type that could permanently increase one's comprehension of the Laws of Light. Not only that, but only Roan knows how to make them. There are other Law Pills out there, but they have only a temporary effect, and their effectiveness diminishes when you consume more of them. At some point, they become ineffective. That shows just how heaven defying Roan's achievements were.

"Roan will never pass on the recipe for those pills. And to be honest, even if he did, no one other than him could concoct them due to the type of equipment necessary for their creation," Rean said. "If I use it as a bargain, I highly doubt the Holamenor Clan would select to give up putting their hands on this pill in the future."

Iolanda pondered and could see the merit of the idea. "In the end, a clan's strength is mainly based on the highest cultivation of their strongest member. For the Holamenor Clan, which has both Space-Time and Divinity Realm experts, comprehension of laws is paramount. The threat of never having the chance of putting their hands on these pills again could indeed be quite effective."

Rean looked at Fuhiro. "Well, you heard me. Even without the pills, your Holamenor Clan would only stand to benefit if you were to actively and openly ally with the Shadow Ferals, especially since you want to increase your bloodlines. The queen's blood might not be available, but over time, the concentration will increase if you stay together. Perhaps both the Holamenor and the Shadow Ferals might become a single entity in the future, too. What do you think?"

"I'm not sure about the last part," Fuhiro didn't lie. "However, the part about the pills is something that can definitely be used to guarantee our mutual help. Of course, you will need to talk to Clan Head Waremis first."

Rean nodded. "Very well."

Rean then used his Divine Energy to push Lostrai, Fuhiro, and Kijia away so that he could continue his discussion with Iolanda and the others. "For now, this is the best I can do. Also, it would be good if I went out to talk with Waremis and Spiegel, telling them about this agreement. You guys should just stay here and keep an eye on Lostrai."

"What if you don't come back?" Iolanda and Lotar asked back.

"I will be back," Rean said with a smile. "Even if they don't agree with this arrangement, I can still make my way back here. That much, I can guarantee."

Iolanda pondered about it a little and decided to believe Rean. "Very well. We will look after Lostrai. It will also be a good test to see if memories will be changed upon exiting or not. You said that you and Kentucky wouldn't get your memories changed due to some kind of protection over your souls."

Rean understood what she meant. "That's what I thought as well. We have protection, so I will be able to feel if there is any attempt to change my memories once I try to leave. If there is nothing, my protection won't activate, which means Lostrai was telling the truth. If something tries to do it, it won't work on me, and I will be able to warn you later so that you won't use the altars."

Even Lostrai couldn't possibly predict Rean had something like the Soul Gem System to help him, so it was the most reliable plan.

Rean talked with Iolanda and Lotar about the next steps of their plans, finally agreeing to a consensus. After that, Iolanda and Lotar left to make the preparations for their race and especially to talk about the Holamenor Clan. The queen's orders were absolute, but it didn't mean the other Shadow Ferals liked what they had to do. It was better to talk to them and explain the situation first.

Meanwhile, Rean returned to Lostrai to continue their side of the conversation. "Say, the reason you accepted the vessel deal is not only because of the laws but because you won't need to use the Shadow Ferals to leave this place, right?"

"That's obvious," Lostrai didn't hide it. "Regardless of how advanced the technology of this place was during my studies, it has nothing regarding building vessels, or puppets, for the matter. I tasked a few angels to bring such knowledge to me in the past, but the Heavens' knowledge about this topic is almost nonexistent. Believe me, I tried."

Rean could feel the frustration in Lostrai's words. "Well, then, let's discuss the next part. I told you I would make a vessel according to your instructions. Yes, it will be a puppet; that much is obvious. But I still need to know what kind of puppet you wish to have? Beast like? Humanoid Like? Angel Like? Maybe... Devil like? Who knows? Perhaps some aberration with a thousand arms?"

"This..." Lostrai had to admit he had never thought that far since he couldn't get the necessary knowledge. "Wh... What do you suggest?"

"That depends entirely on what you intend to do with it," Rean replied. "If we are talking about a more generic approach, a humanoid puppet would be the best. Later, you can modify it to look like an angel or devil once you acquire the necessary knowledge. Of course, if you intend to stay in the Angel Realm, Heavens, perhaps an Angel Puppet would suit you best. You can trust my abilities. Unless someone much stronger than you try to pry into your body, it will be very difficult for any angel to see the difference between you and them."

Rean wasn't kidding. After the last upgrade of the Blacksmith Workshop, plus his knowledge about Circuitry Formations, Rean was very confident in his puppet-making skills. He definitely wouldn't lose to any of the Puppet Guilds back in the Realm of Gods. He could only do better!

Lostrai pondered the options for a moment and finally reached a decision. "I intend to go to the Realm of Gods, so a Humanoid Puppet is best."
