Chapter 445 - Choice
Waking them up meant it was time to go after the law of nature.
“It’s not against the law of nature but another person.”
The beasts were surprised.
A person?
It must be a joke!
Why did they live until now?
They wanted to change the law of nature and keep living.
If Lumi became the law of nature, it could change the rules and give them a suitable environment to live in. Therefore, they had been waiting for this day.
Their agreement was that they would come out to help when Lumi went after the law of nature.
They were finally woken up, but why was it a person? Was Lumi duping them?
“Lumi, I hope you didn’t wake us up for a joke!”
“If we’re going after the law of nature, tell us about your plan!”
“That’s right! Don’t blurt out something like that! Our time is valuable!”
The three beasts and Lumi were of equal status. They were only working partners.
They would help Lumi in its fight against the law of nature while Lumi would change the environment for them.
In that case, what Lumi said next would determine their attitude.
Its words till now sounded like the biggest joke.
“You heard me right. I wasn’t joking. It’s not as simple as you think.
“This person is either a friend or an enemy. Obviously, he has become my enemy.
“To replace the law of nature, I have to get rid of him first!” Lumi explained.
Needless to say, it was referring to Himmel Soan.
Since Himmel Soan didn’t promise Lumi that he would help it with destroying the law of nature, it decided he had to go.
If anything happened, it must have something to do with him. Somehow, Lumi had that feeling.
“Either a friend or an enemy? How can a human have something to do with the law of nature?
“Can’t you take care of a human? It’s ridiculous that you’re asking us for help!
“Our power isn’t meant for such things!
“I think we should focus on the law of nature now. Once that’s taken care of, we’ll help you eliminate whatever enemies you want!”
The three ancient beasts refused to listen to Lumi. They even thought it was joking.
Time was of the essence. After they came out of their seal, every second would count. There was no way they would waste it on a human.
If they really did what Lumi wanted, who would go after the law of nature?
They were trading with Lumi; they weren’t its tools.
“No, you still don’t understand me. If we go after the law of nature, that man will sabotage our plan. We must get rid of him!
“He’s not your average human being, which is why I asked you to join me.
“The law of nature repels him the same way as it repels you, but he’s been roaming the Dusk Soul Forest as if nothing is going on. Even the law of nature has to avoid him.
“That’s all I’m going to say. You can make the decision on your own.”
Lumi didn’t try to persuade the beasts. It had laid the facts for them and would let them choose.
Lumi didn’t want to make the decision for them because it wouldn’t be right.
They would only be willing to do it if they decided it on their own. That way, no matter what happened afterward, they wouldn’t blame it on Lumi.
“Even the law of nature has to avoid him? How’s that possible?
“Even we have to avoid the laws of nature! Why would he become our enemy?” Phoeny asked.
That man might be Lumi’s enemy, but why would he do anything to them or the law of nature?
Moreover, shouldn’t the law of nature repel him, too?
In that case, he was even less likely to be their enemy. Did Lumi make the whole story up?
“I can only tell you that it’s my instinct,” Lumi didn’t try to explain, only giving a vague reply. However, it was one of the best answers.
Who was Lumi?
It was a conscious fraction of the law of nature. But it could still sense the fluctuation of the spiritual essence.
When Lumi concentrated, it could instantly notice everything happening in the forest. Its instinct was the law of nature’s instinct.
Why would that man attack Lumi? Was there some grudge between him and Lumi?
“Let us think about it.
“The law of nature is a tough target, and we have some difficult decisions to make.
“What should we do with the law of nature after taking care of this man?
“We need to think about that.”
All three beasts asked for some time to think it over. So many things were on the line. Everybody needed time to think.
“Alright. Take your time. No matter what decision you make, I hope you’ll take responsibility.
“You have one day. Contact me when you reach a conclusion.”
Lumi took a step back and gave them some time to think. It couldn’t wait for too long. One day was the limit. If that wasn’t enough, there was nothing it could do.
It gradually faded out.
Lumi knew if it stayed here, the beasts wouldn’t feel comfortable discussing the problem.
So it left and let them discuss more openly.
Lumi was confident that the three beasts would give it the answer it wanted.
Once Lumi went away, the three ancient beasts started talking. None of them agreed with Lumi.
Lumi had told them about this capable man that could stop them. How unbelievable!
“Should I believe Lumi?”
“Was it telling the truth?”
