Chapter 80- Revelation~2!

"So what about you? What are the non-traitorous Rulers thinking about my existence?" Haru asked in a calm tone.

He has grasped the situation fairly well. The Rulers have been wary of him since Haru never existed in the previous timelines, and his existence has proven a lot of deviation.

The murder of multiple monarchs within a single day, for example.

From Haru's perception, it seemed like he was lessening the burden from the winged heaven residents, but from their perspective, he was that anomaly, who could turn against the Rulers in no time as well.

'Well, that would have been the most typical scenario under normal circumstances,' With the powers Haru carries and also, those remaining Floors of Divination would allow him to become the strongest being in this world, without much struggle.

Even right now, he holds the capability to go against anyone from either side. Well, it would get hectic if the Shadow Monarch and the Monarch of Destruction joined hands and attacked Haru along with the Rulers, but Haru has a separate plan for such a scenario as well.

However, it was highly unlikely that such a situation would arrive that's why Haru wanted to still be on the side of the Rulers.

"We want peace." A simple three-word answer from the blond and Haru understood the meaning.

"You want me...to kill the remaining monarchs along with those who betrayed the Heavens, right?"

Haru already had plans to slaughter those winged chickens who gave the advice to involve Jinah in all this. And Monarchs have been his adversaries since the start.

The blond gentleman remained silent, as he sipped on his beverage before locking his gaze with Haru's,

"Annihilation could never be a good thing...more so, when the party involved in this has always been on the side of good. Those who have always strived for a peaceful world."

Haru raised his brows before leaning back in his seat. He didn't say anything and allowed the man to continue since he knew, there was more to it.

The man remained silent for a minute, seemingly steeling himself to relay the words he knew to be done,

"Choosing the path of darkness was never an option for those dedicated to preserving life. Necessary actions must be taken, and corrupted ones must find their salvation. Hence, we seek the assistance of the honorable one."

The situation was now all sorted. Haru now has at the very least, clear enemies to look out for. Surely, he couldn't trust the Rulers, given his origin and their cautiousness toward him, but until he could benefit both parties, there was no need to antagonize them.

However, before Haru could nod his head and accept the blondie's request, there was something he needed to ascertain,

"I would be doing a massive favor by handling so many powerhouses. Not just for the humans but also, the Rulers as well. So undoubtedly, I would need something in return, so I could retain my motivation."

The other party frowned upon hearing that. While the Ruler did doubt Haru's principles after hearing numerous things from his subordinates, this specific heaven inhabitant didn't trust everything that he heard. But now…

"Tell me." Hearing the man's assent to hear Haru's request, the younger one grinned before he announced his demand for his services,

"The Cup of Reincarnation."

After exiting the café, Jin-Woo invited his junior to Sung's residence for lunch, but Haru refused since he had some work left.

But since there was something Haru wanted Jin-Woo to know, that's why he asked his Sunbae's a little bit of time.

Walking down the streets, the two young men remained silent until Haru decided to break the ice and inform Jin-Woo about certain things he had decided recently after his meeting with the Goddess.

"I am going to provide Jinah, her first awakening this weekend. Would you be free around that time?"

Jin-Woo nearly tripped hearing such absurd words before he couldn't help asking, "First awakening?"

Haru nodded and cleared his doubts, "My skill allows anyone to bestow more than one skill, and based on the requirement I might allow Jinah to have more than one useful skill so she could keep herself safe, just in case."

Although Jin-Woo initially agreed to this step, given how despite having so many strong and capable soldiers at his disposal he still failed to keep Jinah safe…but right now, there was a frown of concern marring Jin-Woo's face.

Haru understood how the guy must be feeling and in all honesty, Haru was no better as well. However,

"We need to keep everything in mind, Sunbae. I know we both fear creating any difference but after what happened two days ago..I cannot allow myself to leave Jinah alone for long."

Jin-Woo breathed out a heavy sigh with his hand roughly brushing his hair. He was…absolutely stuck here, but whining like a child was never an option so he just remained silent.

Haru knew it wasn't easy for his senior, nor was it for him but there was no other option…more so, when Haru would be away for some days along with Jin-Woo.

"That reminds me, Sunbae…do you wanna tag along to a dungeon? A special one?"

Jin-Woo raised his brows in uncertainty as he asked, "I would be out for this weekend after Jinah's awakening. What dungeon are you talking about, exactly?"

Haru knew that the other one was about to access the double dungeon and get to know everything about his origin and get complete control of the system and his Back Heart.

However, was Jin-Woo prepared to go through Architect's trials and acquire what it takes to become the next Shadow Monarch? Haru had some doubts about it.

"I think it's better if you come along with me first since it would be extremely beneficial for you. Trust me."

A war was brewing and Haru wanted his first and only comrade to be in his best shape to stand beside him.
