Chapter 19: CH 19: Future
Sona's elbow slipped off the desk as she stared at the dragon's reply, speechless. 'Why is there a question mark?! Are you not even sure yourself?!' Sona shouted incredulously in her mind.
"At least say a better excuse," Sona muttered, knowing the dragon didn't want to reveal the true reason he knew about their world. 'He's just trying to hide something,' she thought with a grimace. 'Why won't he just admit it?' But Sona's curiosity outweighed her annoyance.
Sona pushed up her glasses, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous spark. "Very well, I'll entertain you," she whispered.
[Shitori Sona]: Are you saying you can see the future?
Sona waited for Ragnar's answer with anticipation, eager to see if he knew about her world as well.
[Wyrmling]: No, I can't see the future.
Sona frowned, thinking Ragnar wanted to hide what he knew. Then, Ragnar continued, making her eyelids twitch in annoyance as she read his words.
[Wyrmling]: But maybe I can see the future if someone gave me something in exchange.
Ragnar smirked, waiting. 'Ain't no free things in this world, not even for a devil,' he grinned licking his lips in anticipation before rubbing his palms together, ready to make a deal.
[Shitori Sona]: What do you want in exchange?
'It looks like no matter what world dragons are greedy in nature,' Sona shook her head in disbelief. She had heard stories about powerful dragons hoarding treasures from gold, diamonds, jewelry, and even weapons.
Ragnar, on the other hand, his eyes lit up as he listed everything he wanted in the DxD universe one by one.
[Wyrmling]: Phenex Tears
[Wyrmling]: Sacred Gears
Sona's eyes widened, delighted. She expected the Phenex Tears, but the Sacred Gears proved that Ragnar knew about her world and possibly its future. However, Ragnar didn't stop there.
[Wyrmling]: Longinus
[Wyrmling]: Brave Saints
[Wyrmling]: Ophis Snake
[Shitori Sona]: Wait, wait, wait! Stop!
[Shitori Sona]: First of all, I don't even know where to find a Longinus and an Brave Saints! What even is that?!
Sona hurriedly stopped Ragnar, fearing he would demand more impossible things, she didn't even mention the Ophis snake.
As although the Sitri Clan was one of the strongest in the underworld, it didn't mean they could take on Ophis.
[Wyrmling]: I'll tell you where to find the Longinus wielders and then ask your sister for help.
Sona's eyes widened as she clutched the side of her desk. How could he even know about my sister? she thought, stunned that Ragnar knew even important information she didn't share. 'It looks like he really knows me!'
[Shitori Sona]: Do you know me?
[Wyrmling]: Of course, who wouldn't know Sona Sitri, sister of Serafall Leviathan, who is a sister-con!
Sona's face turned red. She couldn't help but be embarrassed. 'Why does he even know information like that?!' she shouted in her mind, biting her bottom lip with shyness.
[Wyrmling]: How about it? I can even tell you the future, maybe the Chat Group System will give a mission.
Sona shook her head to shake off her embarrassment, focusing on Ragnar's words, weighing the gains and losses of the deal.
Sona began to think that if she should trade him items or even Sacred Gears from her world in exchange for mission rewards, 'It would be a good deal. But the mission needs to have the same worth as the items,' she thought, glancing at the chat group.
But first, Sona needed to do one thing to confirm what Ragnar said was true.
[Shitori Sona]: How can you prove that you know the future of my world?
Ragnar clicked his tongue, seeing Sona's reply and thinking she wanted information for free.
[Wyrmling]: How do you want me to prove myself, because I'm telling you now I ain't giving you information about the future for free!
[Shitori Sona]: You ain't giving something for free. I'll give you the item you want after I confirm it's true!
[Wyrmling]: And you think I would believe a devil's word?
Sona smacked her palm on the desk, her demonic energy flaring around her. 'Since you want to be like that! I'll show you!' she raised her head, staring at the group chat, a ferocious glint in her eyes.
[Shitori Sona]: What's wrong with being a devil? It's better than a greedy and lustful dragon like you!
Ragnar gasped in shock, rising from his bed. 'You picked the wrong fight, devil!' he shouted in his mind, ready to argue. He moved his head side to side, making a popping noise.
[Wyrmling]: Lustful? To who? You? You flat-chested devil!
Sona lowered her head, her face darkening. Being young, younger than the DxD plot, she hadn't developed a figure yet. Ragnar's words hit the mark, making her anger simmered.
"Hehehehe, don't even think about appearing in front of me," Sona laughed lowly. The temperature in her room plummeted, the humidity thickening as her Hydrokinesis surged out of control.
Ragnar, who had been smiling triumphantly, thinking he'd won the argument, had no idea he'd angered another member of the chat group but then something happened.
Ragnar smile slowly disappeared as Huo Yuhao called for his help.
[Son of Plane]: Ragnar, since you see the future, can you help us find a Soul Ring? It's getting harder to find the right Soul Ring, and it's too dangerous to go deeper into the forest.
[Shitori Sona]: Let me see your abilities.
Ragnar's smile faltered completely. Too focused on the Soul Ring, he hadn't realized that Huo Yuhao was in the forest at the same time.
Ragnar knew he couldn't help them with just by his knowledge of the plot.
[Wyrmling]: My knowledge about the future doesn't work like that.
[Wyrmling]: I only know what should have happened originally in the future, but you guys already changed your fate!
Ragnar explained hurriedly, fearing no one would take his information seriously.
[Wyrmling]: Since you left your house early, and your mother is healthy, I bet you even completed a mission.
Ragnar was confident about his bet. He remembered how the Soul of Huo Yuhao's mother was supposed to fall into Tang San's hands, a crucial point of the plot.
[Son of Plane]: Do you know my mother is going to die as well? I just saw it when the mission announcement appeared.
As Huo Yuhao mentioned the mission, the hatred for the Dai family in his heart intensified, but his determination to grow stronger solidified. Even his mother wouldn't be able to stop him from seeking revenge.
Sona tapped the surface of her desk with her nails. 'Looks like what Ragnar said is true. It's more likely his information about the future of my world would be right as well,' she thought, considering whether she should trust him and agree to make a deal.
[Wyrmling]: It's fine, everything has already changed.
[Wyrmling]: Did you get a Soul Ring from the mission reward?
Ragnar asked, feeling it was a pity if Huo Yuhao absorbed a normal century Soul Ring when his first Soul Ring in the original story was a million years old.
[Son of Plane]: I didn't get a Soul Ring. The rewards say Conscious Space Control and Douluo Plane Consciousness Gift.
[Son of Plane]: I haven't received it since I'm hunting for a Soul Ring.
[Wyrmling]: Accept it. Maybe you'll get the most fitting Soul Ring for you.
When Ragnar saw it was from the Douluo Plane he knew what the Reward is already, 'Looks like Tian Meng is destined to be a Soul Ring,' he thought shaking his head with amusement.
[Son of Plane]: Okay, I'll accept it first.
Huo Yuhao followed Ragnar's advice, feeling there was nothing wrong with it. He trusted Ragnar, who had helped his mother avoid a mistake.
Huo Yuhao walked towards his mother, taking her hand.
"Mom, let's stop here for a second. I'm going to check something out," Huo Yuhao said, as soon as his mother turned around to face him.
"What do you want to do? It'll be nightfall soon if we stop," Huo Yutong frowned, worried about the forest's increased danger at night when Soul beasts were more active.
"My friend is here again," Huo Yuhao whispered lowly, looking around cautiously. Even if there were only two of them, it was wise to be cautious.
Huo Yutong's eyes widened as she looked around, before focusing on Huo Yuhao.
"Let's stay, but only for a moment," Huo Yutong whispered, understanding that her son had received another gift from the person who had sent the thing that healed her.
Huo Yuhao nodded with understanding, before sitting down on the ground, crossing his legs, and checking the Mission log in the system.
[Mission 1: Prevent your mother from dying two years from now.]
[Reward: Conscious Space Control, Douluo Plane Consciousness Gift]
[Do you wish to redeem the Reward?]
[Yes/No]
"Yes," Huo Yuhao whispered, looking forward to the Rewards expectantly.
[Conscious Space Control Turning On... 3... 2... 1]
Huo Yuhao frowned as he didn't feel anything like when he received items from the Gift Pack.
[Douluo Plane Consciousness Gift Delivery... 3... 2... 1]
Huo Yuhao's frown deepened as he looked around, but didn't see anything until time stopped.
The wind, even the falling leaves and dust flying through the air, froze in place, everything suspended.
Then, suddenly, a huge white jade silkworm with golden patterns over its body appeared in front of Huo Yuhao, making him open his mouth wide in shock.
"Finally, I escaped! I will have my revenge! And you, Di Tian, just wait for me!" The white jade silkworm shouted fiercely, though its body didn't make it look ferocious.
"Hmm," Tian Meng finally noticed Huo Yuhao in front of him, his golden eyes widening. "Spirit Martial Soul!" Tian Meng muttered excitedly.
"It's good, it's good, looks like the god has given me hope. Boy, don't resist! This will be your chance to be a god!" Tian Meng said proudly, his body shining with white-golden light as he began to sacrifice himself to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao wasn't even planning on refusing, thinking this was the reward from the mission.
As Tian Meng's body fell to the ground, a huge Platinum Soul Ring appeared behind Huo Yuhao, his Martial Soul activating while his eyes flickered with golden light.
'Finally, the plan to make a god can continue!' Tian Meng's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind, making him frown.
Huo Yuhao didn't like the thought of something was inside him, making him unable to keep a secret to himself.
'Hmm, you got another Martial Soul! Is this an Angel? It's pretty. Wait, why is it looking at me? Wait, don't come closer. What are you doin—ahhh!' Tian Meng's voice slowly disappeared in Huo Yuhao's mind, making his face ease a lot but the doubts in his heart continued to grow.
