Darius sighed once more, feeling a tremor in the world as the entire library shook. Since he had already exited the restricted section and was in the midst of retrieving his membership card from the aides, he saw the area being encompassed by bright light.

This shocked the aides, who had wide-open mouths that soon shut to reveal excited expressions. The same happened with those outside the door of the restricted section who had been inputting their own secret information in hopes to qualify.

Darius recognized this as a sign of a God descending from their Divine Kingdom, and he could guess which God was doing so right at this moment and the reason behind their action.

He folded his arms and waited calmly for the handsome and well-built God Krona to manifest fully.

His powerful emerald eyes focused on Darius just like last time as the God walked over and stood before him. Interestingly, they were almost of the same height, so they were able to look eye to eye in this case.

God Krona smiled amiably. "I see you've already learned everything. I had estimated that it would take you at least two more years, but it appears the speed of your growth has vastly exceeded my expectations. Out of all of Vena's Agents, you are the one with the most potential and power."

Darius rubbed his chin with a soft smile. "Hm? So you were aware all this while. Then why not capture me and interrogate me for my knowledge?"

God Krona gazed at Darius strangely. "Since your Intellect is high enough to swallow all the knowledge in my library, do you really need me to spell it out for you?"

Darius blinked and realized Krona was right. He had just absorbed so much information that his mind was just a little muddled, but after he began spinning those cogwheels up there, he digested Krona's actions, words and hidden meanings instantly.

"Hoh…" Darius murmured with an expression of interest.

Really, it was quite simple as God Krona had said. He had already told Darius a wealth of things in his previous line.

The chief thing was that he had called Darius an Agent of Vena. There was literally only one group of powerhouses in Faust who would have the knowledge to even refer to him as such, so the implications were quite deep.

However, this made Darius relax. The fact that God Krona knew this term meant that the God would not harm him for the most part, as he had to be afraid of the probable repercussions of doing so.

"So, to what do I owe the pleasure then?" Darius asked pleasantly.

After all, the God couldn't have directly descended just to tell Darius this. There were far more efficient ways to do so, as such, there had to be a more important reason that he had failed to account for.

"Well, my offer stills stands. I wish for more of that special information you gave me the other time, and since you have already taken everything from my library, why don't you stipulate the terms?" God Krona suggested.

"Oh…?" Darius muttered, shocked that the God would willingly give the reins of the negotiation to a black-hearted businessman like him.

No, rather it was wiser to give the reins to a fellow like himself, as Darius would make sure that - while the deal was beneficial to himself - it would also be good enough to the other party in order to establish a stable business relationship.

It was those with no background in mercantilism that would make self-serving deals that would destroy any mercantile venture with the other party going forward. Darius would never make such a rookie mistake, especially since the party he was trading with was at a level he could only look up to for now.

As such, Darius spoke immediately. "The wealth of my information in exchange for three chances to make you act on my behalf as long as it would not be harmful to you beyond a fatal limit and would not harm your overall benefits beyond a moderate threshold."

God Krona smiled slightly. "Very good terms. I shall accept your deal."

Darius nodded with satisfaction and made Miranda connect to the terminal at the entrance to the restricted section wirelessly. Within seconds, the AI then deposited all the Earth-related knowledge that Darius had kept in the Supreme Portal, leaving nothing behind.

Darius watched as God Krona closed his eyes to accept the information. He felt a tremor in his soul as the aura of God Krona seemed to rise up almost tenfold, then subside greatly.

The others nearby only shivered but didn't suffer too much as they were too weak to perceive the change in the deity. It was like how humans could not hear above a certain range or see beyond a certain spectrum.

The gap between the two existences was so great that they couldn't sense even 0.1% of it. On the other hand, Darius, with the bloodline of the Ancestor Dragon and his high stats, had sensed almost all of it, and his expression had become solemn.

The God Krona before him now felt about seven times more powerful than what Thor had shown back then, and about one fold stronger than the aura Thanatos had exuded back then.

However, these were purely subjective speculation, as he had been but a mere human back then and both had descended to converse with him, not fight. As such it was hard to pinpoint their limits.

Krona opened his eyes but didn't display an overly celebratory mood. He was just as placid and calm as before, merely the slight smile on his face was testimony just how pleased he was feeling currently.

He nodded towards Darius and began to dematerialize as he left the mortal world. Before he went though, he seemed to think of something and asked Darius.

"I am confident you shared all that precious information with me, but we both know that all that information is almost priceless and is capable of changing the entire landscape of Faust in the hands of anyone. Aren't you afraid I might leak it or that I could display it in my library for others to see?"

This time, Darius gazed at the deity strangely, not daring to show disrespect, but unable to hide his… surprise.

"Why on Faust would you? The information I gave you proves that Vena exists and in the hands of your compatriots or their underlings, they would be able to put two and two together. Why would a True Lord ever assist the Fake Lords of Faust or anyone else in such a manner?"

Krona's expression froze, then he bellowed with laughter so grand that it was almost infectious.

"Fake Lords…? Bwahaha! What an excellent name! What a great name! My days, you are brilliant Darius Stone! Hahaha!"
