Chapter 318 Two Maintainers
"There's no one else here. Instead of observing from the dark, why not come out and have a good chat?"
Chen Yue's voice echoed in the empty space. There was a hint of provocation in his words, as if he was challenging some unknown existence.
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of him suddenly rippled, as if the space was torn apart. Then, a figure slowly walked out of it. It was a woman with long snow-white hair. Her eyes were deep and cold, as if she could see through all disguises.
"You are indeed not simple." The woman said coldly. Her voice was full of oppression, as if it came from the depths of hell.
"Long time no see. It is my honor to have you, the Maintainer, come to visit me. Ruler of Space, Asmodeus!"
Chen Yue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. His eyes were fixed on the woman in front of him, with determination and determination flashing in his eyes.
Asmodeus stood there quietly, exuding a powerful aura. Her white hair fluttered like snow, forming a sharp contrast with her pale skin. Her eyes were as cold as ice, which made people feel cold.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Asmodeus finally spoke: "I didn't expect you to actually do it. It seems that I underestimated you." Her voice was cold and low, as if it came from an endless abyss.
Chen Yue smiled and replied: "It's nothing, just the struggle of a fool. However, since you are here, it means that there are still many things to be resolved between us." His tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable power.
Asmodeus frowned slightly, and her expression became even colder. She said slowly: "You are indeed very smart, but there are some things that are beyond your control." After that, a huge black square appeared in the palm of her hand.
Seeing this, Chen Yue couldn't help but sneer, "Are you scared? Or do you want to break the remaining contract?"
"Contract? Humph! It's just a method used by you mortals to bind others."
Asmodeus smiled contemptuously, but the black block in his hand began to emit strange waves, as if it was going to devour everything around it.
"Oh? Then why did you come here today?" Chen Yue was unmoved. He put his hands behind his back, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Asmodeus was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I came here to give you a chance."
"Opportunity?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect the Ruler of Space to say that.
"Hey, don't be so serious!" The space in front of him twisted again, and another figure walked out. "Sorry, I didn't scare you with my sudden visit, did I?"
"I didn't originally, but your appearance is true. You scared me, Istaru." Although Chen Yue said this, his expression was so calm that it could squeeze water out of it. "Two maintainers came to find me. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid he would have knelt down and begged for mercy long ago."
"Hahaha, it's not that scary, right?"
Istaru's laughter flowed like a clear spring. She waved her hand gently, and the air around her seemed to be refreshed.
She looked at Asmodeus, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, then turned to Chen Yue and said seriously: "We do have something to discuss with you."
"Go ahead, I'm listening." Chen Yue crossed his arms, used his newly acquired old ability to create a chair and sat on it.
Asmodeus took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "You should still remember that we had a deal back then. You should still remember the expenditure and recovery of this deal, right?"
Chen Yue nodded to show his understanding, but he was a little confused and asked, "Of course I remember, but why are you looking for me?" He glanced at the two of them, trying to find the answer from their expressions.
Istaru took over the conversation. Her voice was clear and pleasant, but with a hint of mystery: "Because, both of us have lost that memory." There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she was puzzled by the loss of this memory.
"Oh? You also lost that memory?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows in surprise. This was too much of a coincidence. He couldn't help but become curious. What exactly caused the loss of this memory?
"Why do you say 'also'?" Asmodeus tilted her head, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She stared at Chen Yue closely, as if trying to find the answer from his face.
Chen Yue sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said slowly: "To be honest with you, I also lost that memory. I only remember that I had a deal with you." His brows were slightly frowned, and he tried hard to recall the past, but he still couldn't remember the specific content of the deal.
Istaru and Asmodeus looked at each other, obviously the news was beyond their expectations. Asmodeus frowned, his face became serious, her voice was low and powerful: "So, is the deal between us still valid?" Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Chen Yue, waiting for his answer.
Chen Yue nodded without hesitation and said firmly, "Of course, although I have forgotten the content of the transaction, I don't like to break appointments. I have a feeling that the memory may be restored by the time of the appointment."
"Besides, I think that if I knew about that memory in advance, it would probably cause some irreversible damage. So before that, let's keep the status quo."
As soon as Chen Yue finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze, and Istaru and Asmodeus fell into deep thought. The importance of memory is self-evident, but Chen Yue's words forced them to re-examine the current situation.
Istaru was the first to break the silence. She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "Perhaps you are right. Knowing that memory in advance may lead to consequences that we cannot predict. Then, let's hold off for now and wait for the right time."
Asmodeus nodded, and her eyes stayed on Chen Yue for a moment, as if she was searching for something. Then, she said in a deep voice: "Adventurer, how much strength have you recovered?"
"Oh, my strength. Thanks to you, I have recovered to the highest level I can reach now. Although it is not impossible to improve it further, there is no need to take the risk now."
Chen Yue's answer was calm and confident, as if he had never lost his strength or felt confused by amnesia.
"So, what are your plans next?" Istaru asked softly, her voice full of concern and expectation.
"Let's see. Maybe I will overturn the whole world."
