Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

"What?"

Corey's expression changed to one of shock, disbelief, and confusion the instant he heard Selene's words of betrayal.

Of all the reactions he expected from Selene, choosing to betray him was not one of them.

Sure, the fact that their enemy was a being whose aura merely sent shivers down their skin was extremely disturbing and scary. From what he knew, Selene was not the type of person to cower just because of such a thing.

'Or was I wrong?' Corey's eyes flickered with a strange glint in his deep violet and sky blue eyes.

'Besides…'

Just like Corey, The Capra King had a surprised and also amused expression as he stared at Selene, who although had a fearful light in her eyes as she stared back at the Capra King, also had a resolute expression.

The Capra King slowly looked at her from the sole of her feet to the hair on her head, and then he slowly said, "You wish to submit to me?"

Selene nodded, and then she pointed at Corey.

"Yes, I do. He's the one who provoked you. He's the one you have business with. He's the one that wants to take one of your possessions. He's the one that has something you have. He's also the one that truly wants to kill you."

"I don't want to kill you. I was sleeping when he provoked you. I don't want to take what you have, and I don't have anything you'd want."

"So, allow me to serve and submit to somebody as great as you, Capra King."

Selene inhaled and exhaled deeply due to the fear and nervousness she felt deep within her. This nervousness was not due to the fear of the Capra King who was monstrously powerful, but due to another completely different reason.

'If he doesn't accept me, then I'm doomed. Master would definitely not accept me back, and the Capra King would definitely not protect me.'

'I'm taking an extremely huge gamble over my life here, and I hate it.'

Selene tried to calm down, but the longer the Capra King went without speaking, the more fearful and nervous she became.

The Capra King stared straight into her eyes, and his four eyes seemed to see through her thoughts.

Five seconds later, the Capra King smiled, and then he leaned backward slightly.

"You said you do not have something I want, but you do."

Selene was stunned, and she could not help but stutter in a fearful tone.

"I- I do?"

The Capra King nodded with a light smile.

The gears in Selene's mind went wild as she thought of every item she possessed that would catch the attention of the Capra King, however, she came up with nothing.

No item she possessed was worth the attention of a being like the Capra King.

'Or do I actually have an item that's actually powerful or extremely special that even the Capra King desires?'

Selene thought with a slightly worried and also excited glint in her eyes. Knowing that she would not be able to find an answer on her own anytime soon, she decided to ask since the Capra King showed no signs of speaking further.

"What do I possess that you desire, Capra King?"

With the same smile, the Capra King replied, "Your body."

The instant Selene heard the words of the Capra King, she was stunned for a moment before it changed to relief and nonchalance.

She bowed slightly, "Giving you my body was also part of what I included when I submitted to you, Capra King."

The Capra King tilted his head slightly, and if one were to observe the eyes of the Capra King, one would notice a tinge of surprise and confusion flash in his eyes.

The Capra King tilted his head once more, and this time around, he stared at Corey who had an expression of pure indifference and calmness.

To the Capra King's surprise, Corey did not even seem to be staring at either him or Selene who had just betrayed him. Another thing that surprised and intrigued the Capra King was that Corey's eyes had turned pure white, and he had the feeling that Corey was trying to peer deep into his body even though Corey was not staring directly at him.

The Capra King furrowed his brows slightly, and then he shrugged. He shifted his gaze to Selene.

"Since you want to be my slave, then come to me."

Selene's eyes brightened when she heard this, and without glancing at Corey, she approached the Capra King.

Since the Capra King already accepted her, she was not worried about Corey attacking her out of anger since the Capra King might become enraged if he did such a thing.

Some seconds later, Selene stood in front of the Capra King, and then she bowed. The Capra King stared at her for a second, and then he gestured to his left-hand side.

"My Lord."

"Hm?" The pupil of the Capra King's second left eye moved, and Selene saw it staring at her.

"Do I have to join you in your fight against him?" Selene gestured at Corey who remained seated in a cross-legged position.

The Capra King turned to look at her, and to Selene's surprise, he scoffed.

"And why would I need the help of a weakling like you?"

Selene's mouth opened, and she wanted to refute the words of the Capra King. But after thinking about it, she chose to shut up.

The Capra King did not say anything when he saw that Selene had no response.

He shifted his gaze toward Corey, and when he saw Corey's cold and indifferent pure white eyes staring right at him, he was intrigued for a few seconds, but when he saw no movement from Corey, he chose to close his four eyes.

An unknown amount of time later, the Capra King snapped his eyes wide open, and then he stared at Corey who was slowly getting up.

The Capra King grinned lightly, and then he slowly lowered his leg. The rock he sat on slowly went back into the ground, and the Capra King dusted his four hands at the same time.

"You're finally going to attack. I was beginning to get tired of waiting."

The Capra King said, but he received no response from Corey.

The Capra King watched with a tinge of excitement as Corey raised his Genesis Armament, and then he gathered so much energy into his Genesis Armament that it surprised the Capra King.

Although the Capra King did not know what move(s) or skill (s) Corey was about to use, he could sense a lot of different energies gathering around and inside Corey's Genesis Armament.

He saw a strange flame cover the Genesis Armament, and then he saw a multitude of colors engulf the Genesis Armament, with one color in particular that gave him goosebumps.

Just as the Capra King was beginning to get excited, Corey's deep voice resounded throughout the dimension they were in.
