Chapter 1555 An Offer From Nebula

Chapter 1555  An Offer From Nebula

Avyn slowly opened her eyes, waking exhausted. She wanted to continue sleeping, but the voice outside woke her up. The voice belonged to Ophelius and Ophelia. That was the reason she forced her eyes to open. Turning around her body, she looked up at the ceiling. The last night memories slowly came back to her and her cheek immediately turned red.

She remembered Zara's words back when she mocked the angel at the Spirit World.

"Your first time with Tang Shaoyang will be an unforgettable moment in your life!"

Back then, Avyn snickered at Zara's words. But she understood why Zara said that now, and Zara was right. Last night was one of her unforgettable moments, and she was embarrassed even more by the fact she often mocked Tang Shaoyang's wives on their backs.

Avyn now understood why they could not get separated from Tang Shaoyang. Even though she knew it was one of the traits of High-humans, she knew it would never be the same if not with Tang Shaoyang.

Ophelius and Ophelia's voices from outside awakened her from her dirty thoughts. With the penalty and last night's activity, she felt so drained, and this was also her first experience to be this drained. Despite being drained, she still could not wait for the next time. *** ***

Tang Shaoyang went to the lounge, looking for breakfast. He missed Oby's Dragon Sandwich. That was his breakfast during the first stage for every morning he stayed in the lodging.

"Are you looking for a similar breakfast to Oby's sandwich?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Tang Shaoyang recognized the voice. It was Ira's voice, the Admin Helper.

"Do you have a recommendation?" He had been looking around for about ten minutes, and many of them were not so appetizing for breakfast.

Even though he could survive for a month without food, breakfast, lunch, and dinner had become a habit for him. It was not about filling his belly, but the taste of the food itself. For breakfast, he preferred something light and slightly filling to start his day.

"I do have a recommendation. It's different from your favorite sandwich, but I think you will like it."

Tang Shaoyang did not mind following Ira and checked her recommendation. He immediately regretted trusting Ira's choice. It was a bowl of soup with six pieces of bread.

For him, food was not just about the taste, but also the texture and the presentation. The soup was thick and dark-green in color. It was more like chemical waste in his eyes. He never saw an actual chemical waste, but it was similar to what he imagined for a chemical waste. Or maybe a poison as he saw the soup was still bubbling.

"Are you trying to poison me?" He could not help but say that at Ira with how unappetizing the soup looked.

Ira cracked into a smile, " You guessed correctly. The soup is called Poius, short for poisonous." Then she took the bread and dipped it into the soup, "This is how you eat Poius."

Tang Shaoyang did not see a change in expression on Ira. He gave it a try, taking the bread. The bread was firm even though it looked like soft bread. He then dipped the bread, just the tip because of how dubious it looked.

 He took the first bite and the first thing he tasted was that the soup was slightly bitter. But the bitterness disappeared in his third chew, followed by the sweat and spicy taste. He raised his eyebrow in surprise, not expecting the change in taste. What caught him off guard was that it was a different type of sweet and spicy he had tasted before.

The sweet was different from the sugar or the sweet from the fruit. He knew it was sweet, but he could not explain it. It was the same with the spicy; it was a different kind of spicy than pepper and chili.

It was something new for Tang Shaoyang, and he dipped his bread until it reached the bottom of the bowl. Then he took the whole bread into his mouth. The bitterness was more distinct in his second try. It was a nice bitter, just how he liked his coffee bitter. But it was a different kind of bitter as well. It mixed well with the sweet and spicy flavor.

Ira smiled widely, looking at Tang Shaoyang's expression. How Tang Shaoyang was amazed by something simple such as food.

Tang Shaoyang took the second piece and dipped it into the soup. He bit half of it, chewing it slowly, enjoying the taste. Even though the bread was firm, it was just the right type of bread. It softened when he dipped it into the soup, but not too mushy. He liked the texture, and he realized he could not feel the texture of the soup. Despite how thick the soup was, he could not feel the texture. It felt like he just ate the bread with a unique taste without a dip.

"But are you okay staying with me like this? You will become their target as well." At his fourth piece, Tang Shaoyang broke the silence.

"They will not be able to do anything to me even if they want to," Ira shrugged, "It might be different for the stage, but a fight is prohibited in the waiting area. If they break the rule, then they will be jailed in the Dimensional Tower."

That was new information for Tang Shaoyang. Jailed into the Dimensional Tower, that was quite harsh, but no one would be stupid enough to break the rule.

"And I come here to warn you about the enemy that you might not know. The seven factions in the Nirvana Alliance put a bounty on your head. They did not hesitate to put a set of God Rank Artifacts, Primal Bloodline, and also The Celestial Faction's secret technique. That offer is too good for the rookie of God Rank to refuse even after knowing you are a Spirit Contractor."

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear the familiar name in this place. He was in a truce with them, but the content for the truce was The Nirvana Alliance could not attack The Tang Empire or Earth during the period of truce in exchange for the hostage's life. Putting a bounty on his head did not break the truce, and if he died the truce would be nullified. Then the Nirvana Alliance could launch an attack on Earth and take Earth over.

The seven factions in the Nirvana Alliance were The Divine Church, The Abyss, The Underworld, Hades, The Celestial, The Holy Sanctum, and The Metarnian Dragon Clan. Those were the seven factions in the Nirvana Alliance. The seven factions with the same goal were to kill whoever obtained the Spirit Contractor class.

"I see, so you have a conflict with them, huh? That's why they already knew your class even before putting the bounty." Ira guessed it based on Tang Shaoyang's facial expression. He did not look surprised when she said The Nirvana Alliance, that meant he knew something about the Nirvana Alliance even though he came from a faction with no God Rank.

"Do you need my help? I have people from my factions that could help you in the trial as well. You might be the top candidate to take the first place, but aside from bounty, The Nirvana Alliance had their people participate as well. In fact, forty percent of the current participants are from the Nirvana Alliance."

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear that. He checked the current participants who arrived in this waiting area.

[840/1000 Participants]

If it was forty percent, that meant around three hundred of them were from the Nirvana Alliance, spread between the seven factions.

"And I think the remaining participants will be filled by their people as well after they know you are here. If you need help, Aedes is willing to help you. Not just my faction, but Nebula is also offering their help. My faction is part of Nebula, and there are six factions in Nebula including Aedes," Ira finally revealed her intention to meet him this early.

Tang Shaoyang nodded his head as he finished the sixth piece of bread, taking his time to give his answer. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he met with Ira's eyes, "What do you want in exchange for your help?"

Ira was delighted when she heard that from Tang Shaoyang. That meant Tang Shaoyang was considering accepting her help.

"Since you are the first person to join the God Trial from your faction, I figured it out you might be the leader of your own faction. The condition is simple: we want you and your faction to join Nebula. Don't worry, your faction will stand equal as the other six factions."

That was her real goal, getting Tang Shaoyang to join Nebula. She did not know how strong Tang Shaoyang's faction was. Her alliance also did not know, but that did not matter. They believed in Tang Shaoyang's potential. With just him, they might break the balance in the God Realm, and Nebula would dominate the God Realm. They would save Tang Shaoyang here, and then they would nurture Tang Shaoyang to reach his peak.
