241. I appointed you as the Chief Time Exploration Officer of the Undead Fleet--[6/25](1/2)
As his strength grew and the enemies he faced became more and more terrifying, Black rarely took the initiative to negotiate terms with others.
Because if you want to take the lead in negotiating terms, you need to have strength to support it, and the current strength of the stinky pirates is obviously not enough when facing those super bosses.
For example, he could not poach the Deceiver from the Burning Legion by providing him with the position of leader of the pirate faction, nor could he expect to use his increasing wealth to bribe Emperor Denathrius to serve him.
When you can't provide enough benefits, negotiating terms is just humiliating yourself.
Black is obviously not a person who would cause trouble for himself, but today he rarely met a guy who was not as strong as him and was already trapped in a desperate situation. If he didn't satisfy his desire to negotiate terms, he would be sorry for his inconsistency.
After the hard work.
When Black proposed to negotiate terms, the Eternal Tyrant who was trapped in the Eye of Aman'Thul was suddenly shocked. She was very tired due to excessive blood loss and injuries, but she still screamed and made a gesture to the smelly pirate.
The action of "Dah-me".
"No! I refuse!"
Dark Chromie screamed:
"Don't think I haven't done my homework!
Ever since you were reborn as a pirate, no one you have negotiated with has ended well! In my opinion, your so-called 'negotiation' is nothing more than a noose for a suspended sentence.
That would only make me suffer more and eventually die in despair!
I reject!"
She covered her ears and screamed with a pale face:
"I don't even want to listen to any poisonous words coming out of your poisonous snake mouth! Go away, stinky pirate! Don't pollute my dark heart!"
"Oh my, you are very smart."
Blake was not angry because of Dark Chromie's rejection. On the contrary, he looked at the miserable eternal tyrant in front of him with interest. After a few seconds, he said:
"Then have you ever thought about a question, my dear Dark Chromie.
You are not the only smart person in this world. What you can see can also be seen by other smart assholes. Many of them also know that negotiating terms with me is a very bad choice.
But guess, why do they still sit at the negotiating table obediently even though they know it is very dangerous?
Or, let me put it in a more direct way."
The pirate bent down with his hands behind his back, staring at the desperate Chromie who was isolated from normal time, and said:
"Have I given you the right to refuse? You just refuse blindly... Do you have the strength? Just refuse this and that.
In addition, from my professional perspective, which I have experienced in cutting people for many years, if you sustain this injury for at most three hours, you will die miserably due to the loss of two-thirds of the blood in your body.
The wounds caused by the Revenge Execution cannot be healed in a short period of time, and this Void Origin Arrow, a friendly gift from Deathwing, will also crazily corrode your body and spirit while you are weak.
Have you started to see phantoms and hear phantom sounds?
This is a good sign, my dear Chromie.
This means that you have been noticed by the will of the fallen void.
Perhaps the thoughts of truth in the lightless sea will soon find you, entangle you, trap all your reason and will, and sink into the dark sea of truth.
If you persist to the end, you will receive the blessing of the void and become a terrifying void creature.
If you can't hold on, it doesn't matter, you will get some bonus tentacles, eyeballs and twisted flesh as a 'consolation prize'."
At this point, Blake let out a light laugh.
He shook his head and stood up straight, took out his pipe and held it in his mouth, slowly lighting the tobacco. As the first wisp of smoke rose, he said to Dark Cromie, whose face became more and more desperate:
"I am a patient person, and I have nothing to do right now, so I can stand here and enjoy your embarrassment when the void or death comes to your door in the next three hours.
I will appreciate your miserable plea for mercy.
I will regard your wailing begging me to save you as a wonderful enjoyment.
I will reject you when you are at your most desperate, and even reach out and give you a gentle push, enjoying the pleasure of witnessing your sobbing as you fall into the abyss.
Well, if I say this, will it appear that I am a pervert?"
The stinking pirate looked back at Elisande's time illusion behind him. The serious and boring latter nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said expressionlessly and seriously:
"In my ten thousand years, I have never seen a perverted guy like you."
"Well, let me take this as a compliment."
The pirate curled his lips and looked back at the Eternal Tyrant. He even took out a delicate hourglass and suspended it in front of him. He tapped the crystal shell of the hourglass and said in a clear voice:
"Tick tock, time is passing. Don't you eternal dragons always like to use 'time' to threaten others? Then, let me tell you, your time is running out."
Dark Chromie is a big bad guy who has destroyed many timelines. Of course she knows that Black is deliberately using words to arouse the fear in her heart, so that she will be overwhelmed by fear and eventually become a plaything in the hands of the stinky pirates.
But she knew that didn't mean she could resist.
Because even for the eternal dragon who can freely travel through time, fear is something she cannot control by herself, especially when she sees the quicksand in the damn hourglass in front of Blake constantly falling.
That was a real torture for Chromie.
She is a time dragon.
Even though she has turned black, she is still very sensitive to time. The drops of the hourglass are like a clock with constantly rotating hands. Every time she walks, it will sound a heavy blow to her soul.
What's worse is that she doesn't know if psychological factors are at play. Chromie actually heard strange murmurings in her ears, and visions of the past flashed before her eyes.
She felt herself getting weaker.
Whether it was physical or psychological, she urgently needed an outlet to release all the fears in her heart.
"I...I'll negotiate terms with you!"
Dark Chromie bit his lip and said:
"Say it, I'm listening."
"Um?"
Black blinked in surprise. He stared at Chromie in front of him as if he were an ignorant brat. His eyes made the eternal tyrant shiver all over.
After a few seconds, the pirate said:
"Is this your attitude when negotiating terms with a villain who holds your life? I think you should at least be more sincere in this situation, right?
Or should I leave your rudeness to my Drake and let him teach you the rules?
It doesn't matter, we still have a lot of time to waste.
At least I have plenty of time."
"I was wrong!"
Now that he has decided to bow his head, the Eternal Tyrant doesn't care about things like the dignity of the strong.
Faced with Blake's deliberate trouble, Dark Chromie fell to her knees with a helpless thud. She implored helplessly with the expression of a pitiful dwarf when she was in trouble:
"Give me a chance! I can help you. I am an eternal dragon who is evil and has no bottom line. Your first mate Sephiel is stupid... uh, I mean a simple bronze baby dragon.
She has just grown up and has poor control over time.
Whatever she can do for you, I can do it better and without any psychological burden.
If you give me a chance, my evil and powerful captain, I can go back in time right now and nip your enemies in the bud.
I can also help you fine-tune and modify your past to be more satisfactory without affecting your life.
Aren't you worried about your relationship with Fenner Golden Sword?
This is easy to do!
I can go back in time and modify Fenner's origin so that she has nothing to do with you, so that you can..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing that the eternal tyrant was getting more and more outrageous, Blake waved his hand to ask her to stop. The pirate rubbed his chin and looked at the pale but flattering Dark Chromie with strange eyes. He said in surprise:
"Is this really possible? I heard Seifer and Toki say that any change in my life will lead to the collapse of this timeline."
"They know nothing!"
When Dark Chromie mentioned his areas of expertise, he immediately became energetic.
She covered her bleeding belly and said proudly:
"The bronze dragons are a bunch of pathetic bastards who only follow boring dogmas. They have the power to change time but stick to meaningless order and rules.
This self-restraint makes them completely unable to understand the beauty of time.
But we Eternal Dragons don’t care about this.
We travel freely through various timelines. We are not deliberately provoking war, my evil captain, we are just trying to add more possibilities to the unchanging destiny.
Although occasionally some uncontrollable things will happen and cause the entire timeline to collapse, it is not an important thing. Anyway, we don't need so many meaningless and identical timelines.
In such continuous attempts, we have summarized a set of luckily effective rules for doing things.
In a situation like yours, of course you cannot move at key points in life. It is like the load-bearing wall of a tall tower. If it is demolished, it will lead to terrible consequences.
But on some non-critical nodes, we can let us play as we wish.
To be continued...
