Chapter 216: Crossroads Demon

Staring at the old shabble of a building that looked like it could fall apart at any moment, I smiled, knocking as the movement of an elderly man entered my sights. "Ho-How can I help you, young man?"

Sending a glance towards the hordes of people behind me, I pointed, "Who wants to buy me this?" I asked, knowing many would do my bitting just to get in my good graces. "The first one who does. Will get to have the first deal with me."

Everything happened so quickly I was rather surprised as I saw a one-eyed man toss a mountain of gold towards him as he sneered, "Fuck off from this city or die!" He viciously commanded in a roughish tone that sent a shiver down the elderly man covered in wrinkles.

Opening his mouth, the elderly man kowtowed, running off, causing me to chuckle. Looking up at the shack located within the western district, sinister intent began to consume my soul. Slowly demonic qi began to rise from my palm as it shot into the stone building, making a large inscription that read," Crossroads."

Sending a cold look at the hordes of people behind me, I shouted in a sharp yet charismatic tone, "You all may wait as I tend to my first customer!"

Letting the one-eyed man walk in, I gracefully closed the door, allowing the shadows to consume us. Eyeing the interior, I saw a chair and table. It was not extravagant as many webs, and various insects could be seen, but I felt it was a rather perfect environment when dealing with a devil. There was an eerie feel to this place. The screaking of the rats as they scratched against the wood, the scent of decay, and the darkness all seem to fill me with a comfort I was rather new to.

Taking a seat upon the rocking chair, a squeaking sound echoed as I rocked back and forth, smiling as the one-eyed man began to speak, "how does this work? I have heard you give wishes, but the cost is not known."

Humming in response, I simply stared at the man pondering what the nines would ask for. Depending on what you wished for, the hells would ask for something. It judges your request, and what it asked for was always random, or at least that is what I think due to my limited experience.

Sending me a deep frown at my silence, clear irritation was all but present as he snorted, "I wish to breakthrough, it has been fifty years, but I have not been able to break past the Gate of Death."

Frowning, I communicated with the Nines, ' I wish for him to give me a favor. Price will not change, but the 'Price' shall not be taken till the end of nine months."

<Request Granted>

Smiling, my gaze began to glimmer with sin as I raised my palm, "Pay the price, and your wish shall be fulfilled."

Confusion was all but written upon his face as he stared at my palm, "— what is the price?"

"Does it matter? I don't believe you will be able to breakthrough within this lifetime with your talent, but I will say you will not be my slave. If that is what is concerning you."

Scrunching his brow, I could see the hesitation as he muttered, "it's not a heavenly vow. it should be fine."

Heavenly Vow, it seems that the heavens are doing me a massive favor. It is so integrated into the cultivation world; many believe that it is the only way to fulfill one's request. However, Lies and Deceit is a devil's game.

Shaking my arm, I could not help laughing out loud, "All I wish for you to do is spread the word. That's it, scream it to all those you know. your enemies, your friends, and family, everyone ."

Opening his eyes wide, he gasped; suddenly, a bright hellish light filled the air in a mist as I heard a loud pop. Falling to his knees, blood gushed from his nose as he screamed. Suddenly a massive power began to rise as I laughed.

"Congratulations, I look forward. to what was asked of you." I stated as I pointed towards the door.

Rising off the floor, the one-eye man bowed with excitement. I could see his joy, but clear contempt was all but visible within my eyes. I didn't have to worry about him not completing his end because the very Nines was involved.

It will bend the very heavens to fulfill the contracts that were given. While my wish was secondary, the Hells were fair in that regard, pushing whomever to fulfill their end. It was a little bit of a cheat, but there was a simple way of getting out a deal with a devil, and that was not to deal.

(A/N: It cant compel a person but could make events that force its user to complete its end)

Not to mention that man will forever be for filing my request; I said 'everyone,' he would not be my slave but rather his own slave compelled to scream forever the name written outside my building.

<Crossroards>

It was a rather cruel deal but one that was necessary. Waiting for the next person to enter, I smiled as someone rushed in. He was rather young, filled with hope and charisma as he yelled without shame.

"I want a big dick. Someone said you could do it. I want mine to be as large as my arm."

"I fucking knew this was coming." I nodded as I communicated with the Nines, which asked for his immortal soul. I did not know why his deal was far crueler, but that didn't matter to me as I made the same request with the nines.

<Request Granted>

Raising my hand, I smiled as the young boy shook my arm without a second thought. How mortals were so stupid was far beyond me, but whatever. It's their life.

Gazing at the demonic energy beginning to pulse through the young man, I suddenly gasped as the young man pulled down his pants, wagging his nine with pride. Joy and tears were all but present as he did a little hop watching it flop.

"AHAHAHA, LORD SNOW I —"

"Please don't finish that sentence," I commanded, turning my head away as he pulled up his trousers. Making the same deal with the other person, I continued on doing the same all throughout the night till the early morning.

Hallr was a massive city making Pendragon that could hold a billion people seem like nothing. Simply based on its size, I can accurately say this city could hold about seven trillion. Thinking about it now, everything seems in relive distance. As cultivators, we move and process many things faster, making everything seems like it was back on earth. In this world, what would take a month to do on earth could be done in minutes or hours. Perception is truly king.

Perception aside, I have contracted over a thousand people. Some refused, but they were surprisingly low in number. Be it humans, Elves, Giants, etc., many just wanted power or to increase their beauty and money. Greed was all but present as I walked outside my store with a kind expression.

Gazing at the thousands still waiting eagerly outside, I could not help be proud and a little ashamed for being once a human...No this has nothing to do with being a human. It's a fundamental flaw in all creation we suffer from.

"Greed," I muttered, "THis is what it looks like to be ruled by greed. Are we demons truly evil? No, I can't say we are. We only give these insects the power; whatever they do is on them. Lucifer, tempted, but it was ultimately the fools that gave in. Why they blame him is beyond me, but I shall show all of creation. Their time is coming. We all must take responsibility for there actions. "

Snickering, I opened my arms wide, "I will be doing group deals. However, I will be asking for something different; I hope you all are ready!"
