Answer

The Emerald Whirlwind who was all smiles a moment ago was really confused right now.

"What do you mean with "no", you broke all the records, and our compatibility is as high as possible, with my help both of us will become stronger, in fact while I'll become weaker after entering in a contract with you, my comprehension in elements will help you take that last step you need for your sword intent, so why?".

Aster chuckled as he said.

"I know, what's more I'm pretty sure I'll be able to jump at least one whole realm if I were to accept your offer, but that's not what I came here for".

A sepulchral silence fell on the room for a couple of seconds before the Emerald Whirlwind said.

"Then are you telling me you put all that effort into finishing first, showed off that monstrous golden attribute whatever in the name of the heavens might be, for the sake of someone's else?".

Aster nodded without a second of hesitation.
