Divine Sea stared at Cain for several seconds, silently weighing his offer.
She was more than powerful enough to destroy the fortress built along the shores of the Endlessdeath Continent—she could turn it to dust with a gesture. But she couldn't. Not because of weakness, but because of the ancient laws that governed the Omega War.
An ArchDeity interfering in a battlefield meant for Prima Deities would unravel the fragile order between the continents, leading to battles that could harm the matrix of the world. It would invite chaos and possibly full-scale collapse of the balance.
But Cain... Cain was in a unique position.
Technically, he was still a Prima Deity. As such, he had every right to attack Divine Calamity's forces, especially after the man's failure to kill him.
Divine Sea exhaled quietly and finally spoke.
"Deal. After fulfilling your duty, you can return. I will grant you your reward."
Cain didn't wait for her to finish.
"Hahaha. Of course not. Pay me upfront."
