Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 243 Dealing With The Queen

What happened was quite simple, actually. Merlin, like many other strong people, can see if someone holds the intention of killing her or not and, given by that line of thought, she allowed me to get closer to her.

When I touched her hair, I directed my dark energy into her, which included both Dark Mana and bits of Death energy of my own. She must have got a notification like

[Death energy is being balanced with Life Energy. Would you like to proceed?]

Obviously, she proceeded with it and let me do what I was doing. Honestly, there were two main reasons for her to do this.

One is that she had no idea what would happen if she lost all her death energy. While I know that she will die, she, on the other hand, had no idea, hence a fear of the unknown developed inside her.

The other reason was that she was losing her senses of pain and tiredness. I don't know the exact details, but death energy promotes pain, sleep, tiredness and related things. While it may be normally a good thing but Merlin's instinct probably had told her that it wasn't a right thing.

All the more because she knows that pain is nothing but a defence mechanism of the body that tells where the injury is. One should strive to have the energy to deal with pain than to lose the feeling of it totally.

I kept checking her eyes to see her life signs and made sure to balance her Death and Light energy properly.

I wanted to add a charm magic to make her under my control, but any and all ill intentions would be easily seen through by Merlin, so I didn't do that.

Once I was done, I spoke with a smile on my face as I let her hair go,

"Young lady. I think I know about it more than you."

I wanted to know two things while also proposing a deal with her regarding the parasites and whatnot. However, I wanted to do that alone with her and not in front of so many people.

"Is that so? Then it looks like we have something to talk about then. Shall I bring some tea?" she asked with a smile as she looked at me and I nodded as I spoke,"Lemon tea please."

Then she looked around and spoke,"Everybody. Make sure to take proper care of the guest and provide them with anything they want. I will be leaving with this young one on higher ground."

Everybody looked at Merlin with a stupefied gaze, but they nodded. It was a place where only the high elders and the most trusted people of Merlin went with her, so obviously they would be surprised.

'Though it's just a place where she sucks people's life energies while talking with them about the world and whatnot,' I thought as I looked at the people's faces. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

THe one whole were most shocked were the Laurentz as they couldn't believe what just happened in the last few minutes.

'Perhaps things were supposed to go differently? Did they set up some form of trap for us or something?' I thought as I looked at the people around. If that were the case, then the change in their expression from their previous smug face would make sense.

Maybe the way I changed the energy and stuff changed Merlin's thoughts about how to proceed with me? Maybe… let's see where this goes…

I then turned to look for Merlin to stand up and walk through the gate behind her throne. As the gate opened, a blinding light came from it and Merlin spoke,"come with me. The tea will arrive there."

I turned to Lucas and said,"stay together and if anyone tries to kill or harm you in ways you guys can't handle without killing, then… Kill them. It's fine. That goes for everyone here."

Lucas nodded at me and so did the others before I turned to Merlin, who had her eyes narrowed at me and I just spoke,"let's go. I was just making sure they get the best treatment they deserve, that's all." Under the ashen gazes of everyone, I walked behind Merlin into the gate behind her throne and soon reached a complete bluish white area. Entering that place, I felt like I was in a place made up of clouds. The whole area was quite heavenly, to say the least.

"So, shall we begin our talk?" Merlin asked with a serious expression on her face as the surrounding energy got denser, making sure that I didn't escape from here. Though I yawned casually before speaking,

"Well, I have a couple of questions to ask and a deal to propose in exchange for something you might like. Other than that, I will try answering all the questions you want to know."

"I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. You are a captive here with me. Your friends are held hostage outside as well… There will be no deal, and there will be no talking about it. I will simply ask questions and you will be the one answering it."

-Sigh!

A loud sigh escapes from my mouth as I thought that it was working really too well for some reason.

Guess, I expected a bit too much from my own ability to persuade people by my actions and words… though I haven't really talked much... In any case,

"(By the name of the Royal Luna, I hereby call upon the Goddess of equity)," I spoke as I just sat there making her look at me with a really scared expression before she almost moved to kill me but we were both teleported to another place.

I stood there in front of the two massive faced ladies whose face was smashed into pieces and the other was barely thriving. Yet the aura of that two faced lady was far greater than anything one can ever imagine. It was like standing in front of God.

"You have come here because of the injustices you have committed! For I shall be here to judge you by the laws of heavens!"

The massive lady spoke holding a two plated weighing balance in her hands as both of us looked at her.
