"You can give me… what I want?!"
To everyone's astonishment, Arthas's words, which were almost like coaxing a child, actually elicited a response from Ophis. Ophis asked this again.
"Of course. You should know very well what power I possess. Besides me, can you find anyone else who can help you?"
"Your power… doesn't belong to you. Your strength isn't necessarily stronger than mine."
However, what made Arthas a bit concerned was that Ophis actually saw through the fact that the power he possessed wasn't his own at a glance.
But Arthas didn't care. What Nehelenia gave him was different from Ophis's 'snake.'
It didn't act on his own body to increase his strength, but simply changed the characteristics of his power, giving him the characteristics of an incredibly domineering dragon power.
These dragon characteristics allowed him to completely suppress all dragon power in the world, even Ophis's.
"Whether the power belongs to me or not isn't important. What's important is that it's completely mine now."
Arthas said this, reaching out his hand to Ophis, as if extending an invitation to her.
"So come on, tell me your wish."
"I want to go home. I want to kill Great Red… return to my hometown, and regain eternal peace."
Involuntarily taking a step forward, she took Arthas's hand. With a soulless face, Ophis spoke words that made one feel uneasy.
The pitch-black Ouroboros… the Ouroboros not only represented 'perfection,' 'cycle,' and 'completion,' but also 'devouring oneself'!
The girl who had the title of Infinite Dragon God loathed her existence as such, loathed everything in the world.
She just… just wanted to go home… to return to that quiet place, alone… forever alone.
"Peace… why do you want peace?" Not satisfied with the contact between their palms, Arthas gently moved closer, assuming an almost embracing posture.
He stroked Ophis's black hair with one hand. The girl's hair was as smooth as the best silk in the world, to an unbelievable degree.
"Because this world is boring," Ophis honestly replied, her pitch-black eyes still chaotic, devoid of any emotion.
"That's the world of the past. In that world, you were feared, you were watched, you were isolated, you were rejected.
No one understood Ophis's existence. In their eyes, there was only the Infinite Dragon God, not Ophis herself. But it's different now.
Now, there's me in this world. There's me, someone who understands you, someone who knows you."
The eyes filled with endless chaos slightly contracted. In the infinite cycle, Ophis had met countless humans, devils, angels, and even those gods, but she had never met someone who said such words.
Everyone had the same reaction after seeing her: fear and obsession with her incredibly powerful power.
But the man before her wasn't like that. Not only was he not afraid of her at all, but he was also getting so close and stroking her body.
Could this body that was loathed, this body that devoured itself… also be gently caressed like this?
"Do you want to see an interesting world? A world where I exist, a different world."
"A world where you exist… will it be any different?"
Ophis spoke again, but this time it was different from all the previous times. The chaotic color in the girl's eyes was gradually fading, and vitality was gradually filling her pitch-black eyes.
"It will be very different, different enough to make you speechless with surprise. And do you think this is the only world?"
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Arthas directly revealed his greatest trump card to Ophis.
That's right, it was the world of Hakoniwa. He believed that the existence of Hakoniwa would definitely not make the girl feel bored.
As he expected, Ophis was indeed stunned. The girl tilted her head cutely, and then spoke with some disbelief.
"Another world?"
That's right. A diverse and colorful world, a world where powerful beings stand tall. You definitely won't feel bored in that world.
You're curious about where the power in me comes from, right? This isn't a power that belongs to this world. You should be able to see that, right?
Ophis gently nodded. As the top powerhouse in this world, she could indeed easily see through the details of the dragon power in Arthas.
It wasn't a dragon power that belonged to her or Great Red, but it was higher than her and Great Red.
Then, only Arthas's explanation was possible: this was a power that belonged to another world.
"Does such a world… really exist?" The small body trembled slightly, and a color flashed in Ophis's eyes, a color called longing.
"It exists. So, be my pet. If you listen obediently, I can give you anything you want."
Seeing Ophis's moved appearance, Arthas narrowed his eyes impolitely and made a request that sounded very excessive, making everyone behind him twitch at the corners of their mouths.
In their opinion, although they didn't know why Ophis didn't have any hostility towards Arthas, directly asking the other party to be his pet was a bit too much, wasn't it?
"Okay."
Then… something that made everyone's jaws drop again happened. Ophis actually agreed just like that.
Even her original subordinates, Vali and the others, had expressions that said they didn't know what to say.
Ophis had become Arthas's pet, so what was the Khaos Brigade, which served Ophis?
"Perhaps… Ophis completely doesn't know what the meaning of the so-called pet is?"
After being stunned for a long time, Vali spoke to himself, but after saying that, he quickly shook his head.
"No… that's not right. It shouldn't be like this. Ophis knows. As the Infinite Dragon God, how could she not know these things? Perhaps she just doesn't care?"
"Indeed… as the Ouroboros who devours herself, Ophis shouldn't care about her own existence."
On the other side, Sirzechs also slowly spoke, affirming Vali's statement.
"But… even so, it's still a bit hard to know what to say. Making Ophis his pet… this world is too crazy."
Touching his head, Azazel said with a wry smile, and his gaze towards Arthas became both awed and admiring.
