I! Cleaner!
Chapter 1372 - 1222: Fredri’s Allies
"Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, he should already be considered a member of the Death Donkey Alliance."
After answering Fredri’s question, the softly glowing pearl flickered and then asked back:
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Worried that the fake No. 3 will disrupt my plan?"
"Yes."
Fredri nodded slightly, her expression indifferent as she said:
"For the sake of fulfilling our agreement, you know how much risk I’ve taken. It’s no easy task to gather the Ancestral Land of Ten Thousand Spirits, Ascension Extreme Limit, and the origin of the Dream Valley together to mend the three domains of Spirit.
And using the Hanging Horn Star Gorge as a foundation to completely integrate the Star Realm and the Spirit Domain is even more difficult. Now, we’ve finally got a chance to achieve all this... Although the beneficiary of this plan is you, I’ve paid so much and naturally hope everything goes smoothly."
"There will be no problems. As long as the part of the dream origin you sent is intact, there can absolutely be no mistakes on my side."
After Fredri finished speaking, the pearl on her wrist flickered, and then a voice full of confidence responded:
"So far, everything is smooth, and our plan will definitely proceed as expected. As for that impostor No. 3, he’s not even on Old Soil right now. Can he really cross the boundless Star Realm in an instant and directly charge into the Spirit Domain to stop me?
Instead of worrying about my plan failing, you’d better worry about yourself... After all, once I fully integrate the Star Realm and the three domains of Spirit, the complete Spirit Domain will instantly dominate reality. Even if you intervene personally, you might not be my match."
"Is that really what you think of me?"
After hearing the pearl’s obviously provocative remarks, Fredri couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, and then with a hint of regret inquired:
"I thought we were allies; you wouldn’t consider me an enemy. But in the end, although you verbally say you’re not interested in the ultimate mission, you still covet the origin in my hands. Are you planning to swallow me, your ally, too?"
"Heh."
In response to Fredri’s teasing question, the gentle glow of the pearl suddenly became much more piercing.
"Forget about allies; we were just using each other anyway. Besides, only one person can accomplish the ultimate mission. We, the root remnants born with a mission, are naturally destined not to be true allies. Mutual enmity is just a matter of time."
"Alright, although it sounds a bit harsh, you’re not wrong."
Fredri chuckled lightly:
"Since you’ve already obtained the dream origin from me, and the opportunity to integrate the Star Realm and the Spirit Domain, I’m no longer useful to you, and our alliance naturally loses its meaning... So what do you think? Should we just end our alliance?"
"That won’t do."
Faced with Fredri’s proposal to end the alliance prematurely, the gently glowing pearl sneered:
"I helped you lock onto Insufficient Homeland, Shepherd’s Plain, and the Hundred Thousand Evil Abyss from the Spirit Domain, creating an opportunity for you to destroy them all at once. Only then did we successfully form our alliance.
What? Now you’ve taken the benefits and at the time of fulfilling the agreement, you’re thinking of disrupting my successful integration of the Spirit Domain and planning to betray me?"
"You think too badly of me..."
Faced with the speculation from her former ally, Fredri shook her head helplessly:
"I’m busy absorbing origins now, and even a brief interruption has a big impact. If I stop just to cause you trouble, it would all be for nothing.
The reason I asked if we should end the alliance was mainly because our alliance is too ’weighty,’ occupying much of my will, which prevents me from fully merging with the origin, slowing down my absorption of it.
And now that you are fully prepared and confident in completing your plan, why not help your ally at the same time by ending the alliance early, making it easier for me..."
"Don’t even think about it!"
The pearl in Fredri’s hand glowed intensely, emitting a soul-piercing sound reminiscent of a deer’s cry, and firmly rejected:
"You know who you are. In any case, as long as you’re alive and not dead, I absolutely cannot end the alliance prematurely!"
"Alright then."
Feeling the will inside the pearl slowly disconnect, ready to withdraw at any moment, Fredri couldn’t help but sigh. She reached out to hold the will of the Master of Ten Thousand Spirits, preventing its departure, and urged:
"Don’t be in such a hurry to leave; if we aren’t ending the alliance, then we’re not ending it... Eleven, as your current ally, I think there’s something I need to remind you of."
Is there something I need to be reminded of?
Upon hearing Fredri’s words, the Master of Ten Thousand Spirits, who was about to erase this part of its will, furrowed its brows and asked warily:
"What is it?"
"Be careful of Leon."
Fredri released her grip on the pearl string, allowing the will of the Master of Ten Thousand Spirits within the pearls to be freed, and earnestly warned:
"Although he is not one of our compatriots, he is definitely more than just an impostor. You’ve observed him up close in the Pure White Lands, and even joined forces with him to subdue the Pure White Holy Mother. How special this impostor really is, you should surely understand without me saying it.
Right now, although you successfully infiltrated the Death Donkey Alliance by using the pure soul of the Deer Spirit, gaining a chance to target the Star Realm origin, Leon has also snuck in with you, and his acuity is absolutely beyond your imagination..."
"I’m aware of all that!"
Interrupting Fredri, the antler-topped Master of Ten Thousand Spirits impatiently added:
"Just get to the point! What are you trying to do by telling me all this?"
"I hope you can restrain yourself. Even if everything goes as planned, don’t act impulsively against him out of greed for the dream origin."
Fredri smiled:
"You’re a very patient and intelligent person, capable of hiding your ’main spirit’ and disguising yourself with a split-off Deer Spirit for thousands of years, successfully deceiving everyone except me, far more capable than that greedy fool, the Pure White Holy Mother.
However, Leon is special. If you go up against him, even if you complete the plan and fully connect the Star Realm with the three Spirit Domains, I still wouldn’t bet on your success."
"..."
"Eleven, Leon is already troublesome enough. If you foolishly confront him and end up handing the Spirit Domain to him as well, I’d be in for a disaster.
So, you’d best behave yourself—don’t be like the Pure White Holy Mother, serving yourself up to him. I wouldn’t want to face a monster holding seven or eight origins when I restore my consciousness after fully absorbing the origin."
