The sea of consciousness was twisting and turning on its own without his intervention. After his breakthrough, it became even faster for some reason.

Esdras moved his eyes over to the black lump with two fiery eyes.

“I took out this pact so that we could come to an understanding. I believe that it will be good for the two of us, don’t you think so?”

“It depends on what terms you want, I would rather not have to go through that hassle.”

“It’s simple, you will be bound to be my servant and I will make sure to get you out of this world within three hundred years, I think this is fair.”

“Me? Your servant? You’re dreaming! What would I gain by just getting out of this world? You might just throw me into the void.”

“Fine, tell if you have a better idea!” This was a good way to figure out what the pharaoh really wanted.

“Listen to me, just take me as your master and I will take care of everything. I will guid you in your advancements, even if you took this kind of crappy class, as an elemental mage, I could teach you the ritual of the Elemental lord class at Rank 5!”

“And what would you get in return?” Esdras wasn’t sure what this meant but he was interested more in what he had to give in return.

“Just about what we talked about, getting out of world but we’re not just going anywhere. We will go to my original world, there we will easily access my demi-plane where I stashed endless treasures! I will be able to recover properly in time for the Convergence!”

Esdrass could imagine this guy licking his lips with an evil grin even though he had no expression except for his eyes.

“So, were you as powerful as a god in your prime?” Esdras asked, this plan might not be that bad.

“A god? Where did you get that idea? I wasn’t even close to that level, you think it’s just as simple as that.”

Esdras frowned, “then what would you even do in the Convergence if you’re not as powerful as a god?”

In his opinion only the gods will have a good time in the Convergence. If you were not at that level then forget about it.

“What do you mean?” The Pharaoh sounded confused, “why would gods be involved in this Convergence? You are ignorant so, I will explain. The gods and such beings won’t be interested in such a thing. Besides how could this world accommodate rank 10 beings even after the convergence!”

“But…” Esdras was certain the gods will indeed be interested. He saw that scene with his own eyes. “You mean level 7 worlds can’t sustain gods?”

“What level 7? There are no level 7 worlds to begin with! Don’t spout nonsense if you don’t know, you’re getting on my nerves. At the end of the convergence this will only be a level 4 world at most. The only places in the universe that can sustain true rank 10 beings is the planes of existence, even level 6 worlds can only sustain a true avatar.”

Esdras gained a lot of information through this conversation but he was fed up with being talked down to.

“You’re the one who is ignorant, let me tell you, this world will attract those rank 10 beings, and it will become a level 7 world-plane! I saw it with my own eyes. You’re not the only one who can divine the future.”

“Bull— wait where did you hear the term world-plane?… that’s a theoretical concept… it couldn’t exist in reality, right?”

The black lump of arrogance finally began to question himself. If he didn’t know that Esdras was special he wouldn’t even consider hearing these words let alone contemplating on them.

“Level 7, level 7… if that’s true then no wonder the rank 10’s are interested… fuck! This is not something we should meddle in. Wait! You said you saw the future? That faraway?”

“I have a few tricks!” Esdras smugly enjoined this reaction.

“Fool! Even if you have a talent for it, you will end up losing your mind! This world’s fate is jumbled up and obscured, the more you look into it the more you become a vassal of that fate. The only reason you didn’t die is because you have a high level of existence to begin with, but don’t push your luck.”

Esdras remembered that he suffered incredible pain the last time, and perhaps there were even more side effects he wasn’t aware of so he decided to limit himself in using divination.

It was already limited by consuming Origin points.

“Okay, enough of this. Why don’t we put our differences aside and focus on practicality? Let us become partners. You help me with your knowledge and experience while I make sure to get you to your demi-plane in less than two hundred years. The more time you have to recover the better for you.”

“Fine, I can agree to these terms. But I won’t be forced to share my knowledge, only if I see that you are directly trying to accomplish that goal will I help you.”

“That’s fair enough. Let me write it down.” Esdras wrote down the terms which were frankly more like a loose agreement.

“… and done. Wait how will you sign it?” Esdras suddenly realized he didn’t think of that before.

“It’s fine, just help me by supplying me with your spiritual energy.”

Esdras didn’t mind, he sent his spiritual energy into the spirit of the Pharaoh and he started floating. In the real world, there was an ethereal spirit coming out of his body and it controlled the pen to sign on the infernal pact.

The signature was completely unclear, it was a different language that was completely foreign and unknown. It was completely different from how languages were supposed to be.

After signing the spirit, quickly faded away and return back to his sea of consciousness.

“Ooh, wait what magic did you use to control the pen just now? Telekinesis? Teach me!”

Esdras didn’t miss the chance to ask, more importantly, that magic did not require any mana as far as he was concerned if used pure spiritual energy.
