Should I tell him? Tell him about how bad his god truly was? For a moment there I got tempted to tell him everything I knew about.
"I need to go," but before I'd say anything, he added in a firm tone, "I have to!"
Tsk! That god was really a thorn in my back! I never expected my old hesitation about telling the jumper about the truth of this dude would come back and hunt me down right now.
I was quite sure that the intentions of that god were nothing related to any good. He might have pulled such a trick to make the bad omen of this jumper stick with me and end up messing with my entire plans.
Or perhaps he was right and the person that jumper was looking for was trapped inside one of the worlds of the enemies.
"Fine," if he wanted to play this dirty, then I'd comply, "tell your god this, if he wants you to go, then he has to give you more details than just this."
"What do you mean by that?" The jumper's tone came dignified. He sensed something was wrong with me, but he didn't ask more about the reason.
"I mean he knew about the presence of that angel in a prison. Which world is he kept in? How many worlds are out there? What is the location of this dude in this world? How about telling more about the forces you are going to face out there? Such type of information."
The more I spoke, the more I felt the mood of this jumper change. "Don't expect me to send the best general I have to such a deadly battle without getting more intel about the enemy, right?"
"You never considered me as such a person," he said in a low tone and I smiled evilly.
"To me you are irreplaceable," I slowly said, "our relation goes way down to the early days for me in the apocalypse. You may be a pain, but if it comes to send you to such a dangerous place without enough preparations, then I won't comply!"
I made my stance firm and added more reasons for such a decision for him to not be able to revoke any. "But you are sending the other two out there without enough preparations."
"Who said so?" I calmly smiled, "I already have my plans for these two. But to be frank with you, I can only protect these two and not anymore. Or else I'd not just send just two out there."
I put out a strong front, cutting any path over this dude or that dirty god behind him to find a way to get out of this trap I placed.
"You have only one way out of this," I strictly said, "either you'll abandon the entire idea and pray that your man is locked up in one of the two worlds my two generals will invade. Or you provide me with enough intel about the enemy forces and worlds before getting my approval on going."
Now it was time to see how serious this god was about tormenting my jumper and all of my plans.
The jumper remained quite silent and I didn't try to speak any further. I already said everything I wanted, and it was the turn of that god.
"Damn! Why are you this stubborn!" and when I expected him to spill out a lot of information, he suddenly exploded in such rage.
Dammit! The worst possible scenario happened! That god decided to raise the stakes and bet everything on the resolve and feelings of the jumper.
That god refused to play with me, and instead he smashed the entire board by refusing to give the jumper any detail about the enemies.
"What happened?" despite already knowing what went wrong here, I still asked and feigned ignorance.
"F*ck you Hye! He refused! Now what shall I do?" he exploded in my face. And if not for my higher strength, I was sure he'd jump and clench my throat with his hands while spitting on my face while saying these words.
"I won't send you without making sure you aren't going to your death," if that god decided to play this way, then I'd also help in smashing the entire board without fear.
No matter what, that jumper wouldn't have access to any world without my permission. And even if he managed to slip alone through my forces, he would be all alone out there and I'd not send anyone to back him up.
Without showing such resolve, I wouldn't be able to contain this time bomb!
Dammit! I now got another time bomb on my side. Screw this damn god! I swore if I ever met him, he'd better prepare his coffin before that.
"F*ck you! F*ck both of you!" As expected, that dude exploded in rage, kept cursing while he moved away without even saying anything else.
I let him be. After all, he'd try to sneak into one of the worlds of the enemy on his own.
But even if he was deadly serious about saving that dude and following the luring words of that damn god, he still needed my help.
I knew he amassed a large amount of treasures and gears throughout his past apocalypse runs. However I doubted he even got a single artefact in his hands, nor enough warrior tokens to help him do what he wanted.
Or else, he'd never come here and try to convince me out, or leave in such rage.
Despite knowing that I could always step in to save his ass, I still hoped he'd feel more despair than determination, ending up saving both of us lots of trouble.
As for that god, the debt he owed me kept getting bigger!
"It's not the time to get distracted by this," I knew this god had many ulterior motives in doing so. And one of them was to keep me busy before the big war.
