Chapter-41: Form of Loyalty

"Let me, tell you my loyalty for you just businesslike. Nothing more, nothing less."

Crimson hair beauty told me while retracting her hand.

"Fine by me."

Saying that I opened my time-space and take out a spear. Of course, it was one of the eight saint tier weapons Azhi Dahaka.

"You can have this."

I compressed that spear into seven feet and throw that toward her.

With her confusion and surprise, she almost slipped that spear.

"This is.."

She didn't let out the last word, but it was obvious to me what she was trying to say.

"Indeed, It's the Azhi Dahaka."

"No one knows more than me what it is, but why are you giving it to me?"

Ah, she wants to know why am I giving that to her.

"This thing has no value to Madara. That's why he gave it to me. To be honest this spear also useless for me too, only a true dragon can control this power. So, without wasting it, I gave it to a rightful owner who might watch my back in future."

The legend of Azhi Dahaka was known by huge amount population. Azhi Dahaka was a true dragon, but he was one of the evilest dragons in Evil Dragon Series.

Once with another two dragons, Azhi Dahaka almost destroy this world. But at that moment, to stop their unruly behavior four apostles were sent by God. After a long battle apostle put the end of their injustice tyranny. After that they were sealed in three kinds of weapon, later those weapons were branded as saint tier weapons.

Coming back from the dazed state she stern her body and crouch down in one leg.

"From here on, I pledged my absolute loyalty to you."

Oh, that was unexpected. Well... Just kidding. It was in my calculation.

I nodded toward her.

"It's really good to hear. I am looking forward to working with you."

"And about my big brother..."

"As I said before he is not a complete revival, so I will advise not to have him in this mortal realm always until I revive him in his complete form."

"Ah, It's okay for me. After all, I know that he will be alive again."

It was not only a sentence of relief but also a way to confirm my promise to her. I nodded.

"Good. For now, talk with your aunt and if anything you want, ask Konan."

Telling her I opened the portal and send her to where her little aunt and Konan was.

With that, she is the prologue of my great ambition.

Fear and respect both are a form of loyalty. But the ending of those two things is different. People who give loyalty out of fear will be easy to make them betray, but those who respect a person, it is unlikely they will ever betray that person.

However, in the end, both types of loyalty is required for a ruler. But having those attribute also the reason creation of faction and eventual downfall of the ruler when those factions are in turmoil.

That's why in me I made two kinds of me. One is arrogant, cruel and strong, another one is easy going, good guy(?) and understanding.

They will be fear one and respect another. But they will never know those two are the same person.

It was the same for Fatema. She fears and hates my Madara side, but because I as Jin Tiger show her something good and promise her to revive her entire family. Seeing my easy going and good side compared to Madara she compromise with me and eventually I will turn it into respect for her because despite having great power I do not solve with pure strength. And showing her my secret and giving her the Azhi Dahaka I gain trust from her.

Following this path when I will revive all of the dragons, they will fear and hate Madara, but despite being his disciple I revive them and help them in future, I will gain acknowledgment and trust, because when living being so weak in heart, that time they are in disadvantage side and lost all hope, I will go in front of them and make new hopes for them. won't they will fall in love with me? And slowly I will get their loyalty. And like that, they will be the first vassal of my ruling continent.

Oh, they saw my real face when I attacked them, no matter, except for Dragon Empress I will overwrite all of the memory with Kotoamatsukami.

...

Opening another portal I returned to my room.

From my right hand, a light lit up, from that light a woman appeared. She walks in front of the window without a word and sat on a chair.

She was the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life. Her beautiful black here, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her brows... everything was so charming that you will never find the words to describe them in your whole life. She was out of the league for the poets who are expert in romance.

But she was also dangerous. The most dangerous person I have ever seen in my life.

"You also can perform semi-revival. You really are a troublesome individual."

She told me coldly yet with the monotone voice.

"Yes. But I hope it is not that big of a deal, is it? After all, they will be here for a limited time."

I asked her.

"Well, I don't see any problem with that, as long as It's a limited amount of time."

She gave her approval. She closed her eyes and indicated that she doesn't want to talk anymore.

After I wipe Northern Dragon out, she suddenly showed up and cut me into millions of pieces. But for some reason, I revert back to my previous form. Not because I am ten tail jinchuriki, I think its another matter that's why I am confused.

"So, you are immortal after all."

She muttered while seeing me with an observant gaze.

After that, I back off and asked her,

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

"Umm, who am I..."

She was thinking for some reason what her identity was.

"Well, you can say I am a fragment of the death god, you also can say I am an apostle of God of Death. As for why I attacked, because you committed taboo that only chosen ones have permission to do."

She told me everything with monotone yet those were colder than ice.

Apostle of the God of Death, huh! If it was a few months ago I wouldn't have believed but now It's different.

But what kind of taboo she was talking about?

"Are you talking about my rebirth technique?"

Hearing me, the girl nodded,

"Good. You know your crime (/shit). You are a dangerous existence, now, let me sealed you, as you have become an immortal, realm of the dead will reject you and force you to revert back ti your original shape."

She is telling me like she was punishing a kid because of his misbehavior.

"No, I don't want to be sealed."

Of course, I rejected that idea without a second thought.

"As expected, then how about it, I will house arrest you for rest of your life. But don't worry there will be no mistreatment."

"I don't want that either."

"This is difficult then. Though I am not as strong as gods, I am also immortal and the only apostle of God of Death. I am strong. I will force you and make sure that you will comply with me."

[AN: I really wanted to put an extra line in the end where MC would say, 'Try me bitc*!!!']

[AN: Ok folks, that's what your answer. Because he became immortal MC cannot die as the realm of death rejected him. Apostle of the God of Death vs MC's battle won't be described at all, because MC will have to use all of the cards he has and that will make you guys less interest in the future battle, so no no. I am not sure if there will be a chapter tomorrow. Thanks for the reading this chapter and novel series.]
