“I meant to say we are destined to be enemies,” I cleared my throat, ignored the rubbish she said, and made this point clear.

“I did get it, but you are mistaken,” she slowly shook her head before adding, “we are destined to be mates, best friends actually.”

“Oh!” my brows shot to the sky out of my shock, “you seem pretty confident in that.”

She didn’t even answer my words with another of the same calibre. She didn’t even say we were going to fight or something, or even offered to be allies even.

She said something crazy, befitting the craziness she showed to me since the start of our weird meeting.

“You don’t believe me because you know nothing about our relationship. If not, you’ll get what I meant and even nod in agreement.”

“Girl… I don’t know if you like to pull such funny pranks on others or what. However, for me… I hate wasting time over things that don’t matter to me.”

“The same goes for me.”

“Then stop wasting mine and yours and get the hell out of here,” I grew tired of her, “I will still stick to my words and let you leave in one piece, unharmed this time.”

“Pretty damn arrogant… I love it!”

“…”

What the heck was wrong with her? Was she the same tyrant I heard scary stories about? No way! She couldn’t be that tyrant, not even in the slightest had any relation with Berry.

“Are you a fraud?” I jumped to this conclusion, taking out my dragon glaive and pointed towards her, “I hate swindlers.”

“It’s me,” yet even when faced with my words and domineering aura, she didn’t show a single hint of getting fazed, “you can go around and ask about my reputation. Having someone to impersonate me? Hahahaha! That’s really a nice joke!”

“I already did, and what I heard isn’t at least resembling the one standing before me.”

“Oh, you knew!” for a reason, her eyes shone again, “and still you decided to come and attack my armies? What was it? Greed for more power? Or desire for fame?”

This girl… Why the heck she took whatever I said in such weird turns every single time!

“Neither,” I shook my head while moving my eyes around. Swindlers wouldn’t move solos. And as she said it herself, Berry’s reputation was just too frightening for a no named swindler to come and impersonate her.

If so, then the other party was someone strong. And she wasn’t alone on top of that.

“What are you doing? Still taking me as an imposter?!”

“Don’t blame me, every single detail points out such a fact.”

“Then let me show you something and then you’ll understand,” she suddenly waved her hand, and a red fog appeared just next to her.

“No matter what, I won’t get convinced…”

Just when I was in the middle of my words, the thing she brought over appeared in front of my eyes, forcing me to swallow what I was going to say.

“What do you think? Do you believe me now when I say we are mates and going to be best friends? Hahahaha! Just the look on your face, hahahaha!”

In front of me, a seat that wasn’t strange to my eyes and mind appeared. It was an exact copy of something I acquired before.

“This… Are you trying to joke with me here or what?!” looking at this seat brought such unpleasant memories to me, driving me mad. “How come having this cursed damn thing can be considered good? Mates? F*ck it! Calling us eternal enemies is better!”

I said it while waving my glaive around. The next moment, a grand army appeared around me.

It was the army of soulers. I called forth for all the soulers I could summon to my place.

Three million soulers filled the slope of the mountain and extended all the way for miles around.

“This…” seemingly shocked by my reaction, Berry couldn’t help but take out a crystal and smash it. The next instant, a force shield erupted and engulfed out two rides. “Are you out of your goddamn mind? I came here on disguise so they won’t know! And now you are going to invite them here? Are you crazy?”

I didn’t get who she was talking about. But I got one thing. She had that damn seat, and that meant she controlled the weapon.

“I fought and risked my life to destroy that weapon, ending up with that damn seat. And now you are telling me I’m the crazy one?”

“Idiot! I also risked my life to obtain it! I did the same things you did! Can’t you tell? We are already on the same side!”

“Useless words! This thing can’t be controlled or acquired except by those damn demons and their allies! Trying to get me tricked? Do you take me for a fool?”

“You are indeed a fool!” when she heard what I said, her face suddenly eased and the tension there was all gone. “Do you think one of them would come here jumping in joy to show you this deadly weapon of theirs? Such weapons can only appear to tear apart universes and take lives!”

“This…”

“I’ve also encountered the same thing as you, and ended up doing everything I can to destroy this weapon. Yet I couldn’t. All I got was this seat and an ability to sense anyone having such seats like me. And I saw it in you. Idiot! Did you take me for those nasty beings? Do you think I’m like them? Idiot!”

For a moment there I felt total loss. I looked at her in such bizarre way, making her continue her talk:

“This thing… It’s not just in your cosmos! It’s present in many cosmos! Many universes fell to these deadly weapons, as only few stood up to it and survived. As I can tell, you got your own unique abilities that made you able to survive it. Just like me. Taking me for the enemy? Don’t tell me you haven’t met one yet!”
