Chapter 1007 The Dew



In a vast universe of thousands of spaces and many worlds with billions of people in total, there were also many treasures. Some of them might be valuable only to those who reached the First Chronicle or another low level, but some might be important even to those who stood at the very top.

Crystal Mind Dew was exactly one such treasure, which was something between an artifact and a potion. The drop of dew at the center of a huge color comparable in size to a fortress was the main treasure of all Plants World.

"I had heard of it, but now I realize that no words can fully describe this incredible sight..." Sven muttered with genuine admiration. Even he had never seen something so beautiful and mesmerizing, even though he was in the most powerful spaces.

"Yeah, I couldn't agree more." Polosa nodded slightly, then turned to Sven, "If you're okay with it, you can have it, but we have to sign a contract before then."

"Contract...?" Sven was puzzled since Olax hadn't warned him about something like this. 

Polosa sighed, "It has to be since it will be a special contract. You don't have to worry, he gave me some of his energy that's connected to the contract so you can be sure I'm not trying to trick you."

Whooooooooooooosh.

Polosa waved her hand as a parchment scroll appeared in front of her with gray streams of energy emanating from it. Polosa took the scroll in her hands and snapped her fingers.

At her will, roots emerged from the ground and quickly turned into a massive table and two chairs facing each other.

Polosa sat down in a seat closer to the flower and pointing to the other edge of the table said, "Have a seat. You and I may be one of the strongest beings in the universe, but even we can't get rid of bureaucracy completely. That's pretty ironic, isn't it?"

Sven stared intently at the strip, but sensing Olax's energy from the scroll he accepted Polosa's offer after all.

Sven slowly sat down in his chair without removing his gaze from Polosa, who in his opinion acted suspiciously since she should have told him about it right away or before they had reached the flower.

Polosa raised her hand slightly as a pen exuding scarlet energy appeared before her. She elegantly took it and left her signature in the corner of the scroll with a bit of energy, then she handed the scroll to Sven.

'Well, well... Looks like something interesting is about to happen.' Wain smirked, looking at Sven, whose aura was gradually increasing. Wain could clearly see the almost imperceptible change in Sven's face as he slowly read the contents of the scroll.

"Is something wrong?" Polosa asked emotionlessly, tapping his fingers on the table, "I think my terms are more than adequate considering that I am giving you our greatest treasure."

Sven glanced at Polosa and asked, "Before I tell you my thoughts, let me ask you something. What exactly is this dew of value to Plants? What is its purpose?"

"How interesting... I was sure that Sven Hellem himself must know almost everything about it." Polosa muttered with a complicated expression.

Sven shrugged, "Unfortunately, I've had too many different tasks lately, you know. Unlike the Progenitor of Dragons, I haven't lived for thousands of years, so I haven't had enough time to learn everything about this world. Polosa, be so kind as to tell me about your greatest treasure."

Polosa smirked; she liked that the usually arrogant Sven asked her for something and acknowledged her shortcomings. Sven had a certain reputation among the strongest of this world that drew the interest of others.

"Fine, it's actually quite simple. In exactly one year, Crystal Mind Dew will explode and cover the flower behind me. Then, the day will come that we call the Great Blossom." Polosa said confidently as she waved her hands. 

"On this day, all the energy that has been accumulating in Crystal Mind Dew for exactly one hundred years allows millions of plants to blossom and become so much more. This day is a true celebration of our world and it helps a new generation blaze its own path." Polosa proudly declared with glowing eyes.

Sven took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "I see... Given that you Plants it makes quite a bit of sense, but wouldn't that be a problem for you? I mean, the next time Crystal Mind Dew doesn't mature until 101 years from now, does it?"

"Yeah, you're right." Polosa nodded as she touched her lips, "However, you don't have to worry about us. Plants have enough resources to survive one loss of the Crystal Mind Dew without consequences, moreover, what we get in exchange far surpasses any possible inconveniences and disadvantages!"

Sven looked away. He knew what Crystal Mind Dew was for Olax, or rather, this unique treasure was for Arox.

'Arox can use Crystal Mind Dew to increase his abilities, especially his mind by a hundred times for a short period of time. Given his abilities, that would be enough for him to subjugate all space, and the Arkans would become the sole rulers of the entire world.' Sven muttered inwardly with a deep gaze.

He didn't know the hidden details that Olax and Arox hadn't even told him about, but that didn't change the fact that Arox was going to subjugate the entire world to his will, at least for some definite purpose.

'I certainly can't let Arox get Crystal Mind Dew, but what should I do in that case?' Sven pondered while his gaze grew deeper.

"Hey, I understand that this flower as well as the Crystal Mind Dew can enchant anyone, even someone as cold as you, but it's time for you to sign a contract. Otherwise, we can't move forward." Polosa looked intently at Sven.

Sven nodded slightly and whispered, "Well, I can think about that later, right now I have another problem to take care of."

"Hmm? Did you say something?" Polosa raised an eyebrow in confusion as she did not hear Sven's words.

"I'm saying I'd like to clarify that last point." Sven pointed to the bottom of the scroll where several sentences were written.

"I'm listening to you." Polosa smirked slyly.

"It says that after the Arkans win the war, our leaders will turn over some territories to the Plants as a thank you for giving us Crystal Mind Dew, doesn't it?" Sven said calmly, showing no emotion.

"Yeah..." Polosa nodded, then a frantic look appeared on her face, "Isn't that a great deal for us? Plants rarely go to war with anyone, so this way we can gain territories and increase our greatness!"

Sven closed his eyes and shook his head with a mocking smile, "Now I get it...the Queen of the Plants, turned out to be just a ruler with a bunch of complexes. Hah, it's comical as hell."

"What did you say...?!" Polosa frowned as her aura intensified, she didn't like the way Sven was talking to her at all.

Wain smirked, 'Well, well, honestly I didn't expect Polosa to have such a hidden side at all... Hah, that only makes it more interesting! The most closed and seemingly peaceful race turns out to have imperial ambitions! Hahaha, this is ridiculous!'

Sven gripped the scroll tightly with both hands and with cold eyes said, "Isn't it obvious? Everyone knows you as the Wisest and Kindest Queen of the Plants, but who do you really turn out to be?"

Crackle.

Sven ripped the scroll in two with a sharp movement, "You're just another piece of trash I have to get out of my way. I'm going against my rulers because their ideals will lead our world to a state I don't want to live in, however, unlike you at least they have a purpose. You, on the other hand, are just a pathetic ruler who would like to take over the world himself if you could, but you just don't have that capability."

Whooooooooooooooooooooosh.

At the same moment, several sharp roots emerged from the ground and headed toward Sven at breakneck speed. He took a deep breath and let some of his aura out, creating a protective barrier in front of him in which the roots were stuck.

"Sven Hellem... I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm giving you one last chance to change your mind. It's not too late to apologize and sign the contract again. What's more, you're acting illogically, there's no point in ruining the relationship between Plants and Arkans."

"Oh... It looks like the Queen of the Plants has some hearing issues. Haven't you realized yet that I don't obey anyone and now act only out of my beliefs?" Sven said calmly, while his chilling gaze gave Polosa goosebumps.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Tension rose to a breaking point, as now they both knew there was no turning back. Their auras gradually grew stronger, ready to attack each other at any moment.
