Chapter 1009: Ships

“…”

Perhaps she was the wrong person to turn to for this. He felt like if he pushed any further, she’d just tell him to fuck off. Or worse, she would snitch to Lilith herself.

“Ugh…”

<Rael Sutekh: And if I am?>

<Malinali Liesa: Then you should probably ask Zafira. She’s been doing nothing but slouching around and sleeping. She says it’s because the cramps are less painful on the ship. Who knew that even great beings like us would succumb to something as simple as pregnancy cramps?>

Rael let out a sigh upon hearing that and decided to just turn to someone else entirely. Finding someone who could help would be really difficult.

Yet the moment Rael closed the chat, he got yet another message from Melina, except this time, she seemed to have some kind of terms.

<Malinali Liesa: I’d act as your informant for a price. As for what the price will be? Heh. Let’s just say, you might not like it.>

“…”

<Rael Sutekh: I’m not marrying you.>

<Malinali Liesa: Who said anything about marriage? Why in the hell would I want to marry you? No, all that aside, what I want is freedom. Give me the opportunity to travel to whichever universe I want. I already know you’re fine with it, but I want to once again have the opportunity to buy a better ship from you.>

Rael raised a brow.

That’s it? I mean, I don’t mind it one bit, I guess. After I gained access to all the realities, my Premium Shop’s influence had expanded greatly.

After all, what was only one multiverse before was now thousands of others. Naturally, Rael was in agreement, since he didn’t lose out on anything in this deal.

So with that in mind, Rael hid his presence to the best of his ability and then teleported to where Melina currently was. She was atop her ship, holding onto the giant wheel as she fiddled around with it ever so slightly, navigating wherever she wanted to go.

But when she spotted Rael standing to the left of her, she frowned slightly.

“How long have you been here?” Melina asked.

Rael shrugged. “Maybe the whole time? Who cares. Don’t shout too loud. You don’t want to scare away Lilith, do you?”

She rolled her eyes at his behavior. “You sound like some kind of blackmailer. Whatever. Give me a price, and I’ll buy it from you.”

Rael thought it over for a moment, then just whipped out some random price off the top of his head.

“5,000,000,000 Premium Coins. Or 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 Trell. That seems reasonable, yes?”

Hearing the number, she felt like she had just been hit in the head with a sledgehammer. That much money… Sure, she had saved up a lot, but that? There was no way she could afford something like that!

Evidently, the price could be worse. After all, Rael was just looking at the first page of the Premium Shop. Still, since he definitely knew she couldn’t afford it, he just chuckled and lowered the price.

“I’m only kidding. It’s around 10,000,000,000 Trell. That’s within reasonable range, isn’t it?”

“Didn’t I pay more last time?” Melina said.

Rael nodded. “Yep. But I bought you junk last time. I can buy you something decent now since I just so happen to have better connections, you could say.”

With those words, Rael went ahead and bought the ship in question. It was a little bigger than the one they currently had, but then again, Rael didn’t actually buy it and just made it appear. Instead, he bought it inside the bottle. When focused, he could see the ship’s size, and it was impressive, to say the least.

Not to mention, it wasn’t a total wreck like the last one. Speaking of, were they planning to abandon this current ship?

From what he had heard, pirates usually grew attached to the ships they first got, since they held sentimental value. Obviously, Melina was no normal pirate. More like a pirate who was interested in politics.

A lazy politician.

Regardless, staring at the ship, she couldn’t help but be amazed. It was nice, far nicer than she had expected. Not to mention, it was on the cheaper side too. She had enough treasure to pay for it in a heartbeat, and so she did.

The trade happened quickly, and yet, Rael didn’t receive any money. It wasn’t that she didn’t give any — it’s just that he had an infinite amount. Adding a pebble into a sea of infinity was just pointless.

Still, he was happy with the exchange, and took a step back. As for her, she went ahead and stored it in her inventory. Afterwards, she glanced over to him and said:

“I guess that concludes our deal. You want information on Lilith? Well, it’s simple. She has been thinking about her father, since she looked into the future and saw his death.”

Rael leaned back on the deck and nodded. “Did she say anything else? Like, what she’s planning to do to prevent it?”

She shook her head. “Apparently, there’s something along the lines of consequences. Not sure if you’ve ever heard of that mythical term before. But yeah, if she meddles with something and changes the outcome, she’ll likely suffer severe consequences in the future.”

She was probably referring to karma, but in a way that made him seem like a spoiled brat. Well, it wasn’t like he’d never faced consequences before. Though…

“I see. So she wants help, but also doesn’t want help. How annoying. But I guess that just gives me the go-ahead to stir some things up. It’ll be a bit sad when she starts to hate me,” Rael said, and with a sigh, he gave Melina a quick thumbs up before shifting into his Ruler of Reality form and vanishing into thin air.

Before long, he reappeared in the Demon Realm, right in front of William. And as expected, William was barely in any condition to breathe.

Welp.

Time to heal the father-in-law.
