Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 455: Give The Thing, Which Karna Gives You

Meanwhile, Sharky smiled. This Unknown Region was different from the ones he had experienced before; the cultivations of those inside had all been too high!

It had made them constantly feel as if they were walking on thin ice. He was curious as to whether this world really did exist, or if it was just a special secret dungeon.

While he was lost in thought, he suddenly shivered. He looked toward one side immediately.

"Your vigilance is indeed excellent. You noticed me as soon as I appeared," the Fiend Emperor said. The Golden Crow Crown Prince also followed beside him, glaring at Sharky’s group with an unkind expression.

Sharky was on guard inwardly, but he didn’t reveal anything unusual on the surface. He said, "It was thanks to our cooperation that we dealt with this Unknown Region’s dangers. We can finally return."

"Return?" The Fiend Emperor sneered. "I have already spent a long time in this place and fought countless powerful beings."

"Even though I received some small spoils, they were almost all used to open the tomb. So far, I have received almost nothing. Are you telling me to return just like that?"

Sharky looked as if he had suddenly ’realized’ what was going on. He said, "Ah, my memory really is poor. Didn’t I promise to give your majesty information regarding the Goldenrain Fruit?"

"Your majesty helped us earlier, and I’ve always been someone who clearly separates gratitude and grudge. I definitely wouldn’t lie to my friends."

"I’ll immediately tell you the information about the Goldenrain Fruit. I hope your majesty can keep your promise to settle all of our past conflicts."

Charlotte and the other women quietly stood next to him. They were all a bit worried. Wasn’t Sharky trusting the other side too much?

What if the Fiend Emperor went back on his word? However, when they recalled Sharky’s usual wit, they concluded that he had already considered those things.

"Oh, that is no problem," the Fiend Emperor said as his breathing quickened. As he was nearing the end of his lifespan, he needed such Goldenrain Fruits the most.

The Golden Crow Crow Prince panicked, exclaiming, "Father emperor, you cannot let yourself be fooled by that brat! If he really did know anything about the Goldenrain Fruit, he would have eaten it a long time ago. Why would he possibly leave it to us?"

The Fiend Emperor’s expression was overcast; he clearly shared the same sentiment.

Sharky said with a smile, "Your majesty, it looks as if the crown prince does not wish for you to live for too long."

The Fiend Emperor’s eyelids twitched, but he still said coldly, "Do not try to sow dissent between us. Hurry and tell me your information about the Goldenrain Fruit."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince didn’t relax at all, because he knew that what Sharky had said really was effective; it was especially so toward the royal family, as they didn’t share much affection with each other.

Sharky relaxed his shoulders and said, "I’ve never seen the Goldenrain Fruit before, but along the way, I found out that Spirit Mountain’s Treasure Mountain contained a Goldenrain Fruit. In the past, someone even used that Goldenrain Fruit to revive a dead person..."

Then, he shared the rest of the Goldenrain Fruit information with the Fiend Emperor... after covering up the important parts, of course.

Diana and the other women looked at him worriedly. The look in their eyes seemed to convey, ’Will this really be enough to fool him?’

Sharky shot back a look that seemed to say ’Don’t worry.’ He knew he couldn’t fool the Fiend Emperor completely, but the smarter a person was, the more they would be carried away by their own plans.

They wouldn’t be willing to give up even the slightest chance, and would thus lie to themselves. That was even more the case with the Fiend Emperor, who was nearing the end of his life. His desire for Goldenrain Fruit had already turned into complete zealotry.

"Good, good, good!" the Fiend Emperor exclaimed. No matter how composed he was usually, he couldn’t contain the rapt joy on his face.

With his knowledge, if Sharky randomly created a lie about the Goldenrain Fruit, he would have easily seen through it.

However, Sharky’s description was very detailed. He knew there was no way it could have been created on the spot, and that at least a large portion of it was true.

Sharky took the chance to say, "Fiend Emperor, I have already told you what I know. This exit might close at any time. You should hurry and head to Spirit Mountain to look for the Goldenrain Fruit. Otherwise, this place might close forever."

The Fiend Emperor looked in Spirit Mountain’s direction. However, he didn’t seem too inclined to move. He said with a smile, "There is no rush."

Sharky and the others suddenly felt pressured. He asked, "Why?"

The Fiend Emperor reached a hand toward Sharky, asking, "What did Karna give you just now? How about you hand it over?"

Off to one side, the previously grim-faced Golden Crow Crown Prince started feeling happy. As expected of my father!

He looked at Sharky with a smug expression, thinking, Little bastard, what are you going to do now? He even prayed inwardly, Hurry and refuse! That way, Sharky would have provoked his father, creating a proper excuse to kill him.

He didn’t know why he hated Sharky so much, though. After all, before he met Sharky, he had been the leader of the Fiend Races’ younger generation, and fully deserved his title as number one.

Most importantly, it wasn’t his status that made it so; it was because he really was that talented. Whether in terms of his cultivation rank or his real combat strength, he was the best among the younger generation.

He was publicly known to be unrivaled among those at the same level. He would often challenge opponents at a higher level than himself, because he often stood a good chance of winning. That was why he had always been high-spirited and incredibly proud.

And yet, he had coincidentally ended up running into Sharky, and then been defeated by him, even though Sharky’s cultivation was lower than his! It had made him feel as if all of his past experiences were a joke.

At first, he hadn’t been willing to admit defeat. He had convinced himself that Sharky could only win through scheming.

Even though their second meeting in the palace caused him to be severely wounded in an instant, he had still retained his confidence, because that was an ambush.

Eventually, however, after the events in the Imperial Tomb and the various encounters in the Unknown Region, he was shocked to discover that the person he had previously looked down on was someone he actually had to look up to.

He didn’t even think there was any chance he could beat Sharky in the future either.

The worst part of it all was that Sharky’s cultivation was lower than his! That was the final nail in the coffin. As such, he really wanted his father to get involved and eliminate his personal demon.

Just then, Sharky said, "Fiend Emperor, I’ve already told you the information about the Goldenrain Fruit, and yet you’re still unsatisfied and covet my belongings. This isn’t how a good partner acts, is it?"

The Fiend Emperor said calmly, "Only a child would be picky about what they want. I have always taken everything."

Sharky was speechless. If he didn’t know who the Fiend Emperor was, he would have thought he was talking to some damned perverted online friend from his previous world.

The Fiend Emperor looked at all those present and said, "Out of consideration for our cooperation, as long as you hand over what Karna gave you, I can spare your lives. I hope you consider this carefully."

Naturally, he didn’t actually plan to let Sharky off. He was only saying so to lower Sharky’s guard. At the same time, he was trying to drive a wedge in their group’s friendship.

After all, the White Jade Sect Master, the Devil Sect Master, and even the Medusa Queen were formidable individuals in their own right. If they worked together, their power would be far more than the sum of its parts.

Even though he wasn’t scared, considering how Sharky had obtained the recognition of the world, he still had to deal with the situation carefully.

After all, Karna had given the benefits to Sharky alone. The three women hadn’t obtained anything. There was no reason for them to take a risk for him.

If Sharky couldn’t bear to hand it over, the women would definitely change their attitudes. Their relationship with Sharky would start to crack...

At least, unless they were all passionately in love with him. If that were the case, they would only side with Sharky no matter what choice he made.

The Medusa Queen was one thing, but the White Jade Sect’s ice goddess and the Devil Sect’s slaughtering witch? Would those two ever like a man, and the same man, no less? What a joke!

As Sharky didn’t reply, the Fiend Emperor continued with a sneer, "What, are you unwilling to hand it over? Could it be that you want your companions to lose their lives because of your own selfishness?"

Sharky smiled and replied, "Why is the Fiend Emperor playing these games? There’s no harm in telling you this, though. What Karna gave me is a skill, and it has nothing to do with immortality."

"Fiend Emperor, your cultivation is already extraordinary, and you’re one of the strongest in this world. Why would you care about this skill of mine?"

"A skill!" the Golden Crow Crown Prince exclaimed, breathing heavily. How could a skill Karna had given out be mediocre? He thought, Even if my father doesn’t need it, I need it!

The Fiend Emperor frowned slightly. He couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed when he heard that it was a skill. In his current state, what he needed the most wasn’t some powerful secret manual.

However, he didn’t trust what Sharky said about it being unrelated to immortality that easily. Whether or not it was related, he had to take a look at it himself first.

As for whether Sharky’s strength would skyrocket after learning Karna’s skill... It would be strange if he could learn it that quickly.

Even for the Fiend Emperor and Henry who were the greatest geniuses in the present world, it would have taken them at least several months to learn an extraordinary secret manual at Sharky’s level.

Even at his current cultivation rank, the Fiend Emperor would need at least a few days to fully comprehend an extraordinary skill.

What level was Sharky at right now, though? He wouldn’t necessarily be able to make much progress even after a year.

The Fiend Emperor said indifferently, "My nature is rather greedy. For all these years, I have always wanted everything that is good. I will not treat you unfairly if you give me this skill of yours. Once we return to the outside world, you will have your share of high position and wealth."

Sharky sneered. Offering him a high position and wealth like that? Could the Fiend Emperor be any more fake?

He hadn’t even bothered going into the details, so it was easy to see that he didn’t have a shred of sincerity.

Of course, even if there had been sincerity, there was no way Sharky would hand the skill over. As such, he replied, "Please forgive me, but I have never been too interested in glory or wealth, so I can only let down your good intentions."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince almost burst out laughing when he heard the reply. Very good, keep going, court death! The more the better!
