"Asshole! What did you say?!" Zirconia was so angry that his powerful Doom Energy rioted across the room, filling the air with extremely terrifying force.
Zaafea repeated again, "Help me out. Stop radiating your energy. You'll waste all the energy you have accumulated with great efforts."
"Help you? Why should I help you?!" Zirconia asked fiercely, stretching out a black arm to strangle Zaafea tightly.
A purple skull suddenly appeared and opened its mouth. Zirconia was about to swallow Zaafea in one gulp.
Zaafea wiggled a little and broke free quickly. He frowned as he said, "Can you let me finish first?"
"Stop your nonsense! Just get right to the point!" Zirconia snapped impatiently.
Zaafea thought for a while and then said, "Don't you want my power... No... To be precise, don’t you want your own power back? How about this?
"Stop helping the Illuminion and help us deal with the remaining forces of the Illuminion in Drakonia. After that, I'll give you everything you want."
"Do you think I'll believe your lies?" Zirconia said disdainfully.
Zaafea continued, "Whether you believe it or not, I’m able to stand here before you thanks to the Woodrow brothers, but their obsession seems to be slowly changing. Soon, they'll battle their enemies. I will cease to exist once they have completed their revenge.
"At least, let's just deal with those guys from the Illuminion. As for Drakonia’s internal affairs, I couldn't care less nor do I want to. This power in me will disappear anyway, so you could just take advantage and keep it or it’ll be a waste, right?
"Of course, my only condition is that you must maintain a united front with us for the time being. Otherwise, I won't give you my power. "
"Is that it? That's the only condition?" Zirconia seemed doubtful.
Zaafea said in a solemn tone, "Yes, that's all. Take it as repaying my debt to you. Anyway, I've been out for too long, and it's time for me to leave. Whatever chaos that you people choose to do out there has nothing to do with me. How about that?"
"You’re truly an asshole god."
