The Author's POV

Chapter 656

I was in a bit of a pinch if I had to be honest.

I was now attempting to persuade Suriol, whom I had already defeated, to submit to me and watch over the planet while I returned to earth.

There was no need to explain why I needed someone to keep an eye on the planet while I was away.

Aside from being powerful, they needed to be familiar with the ins and outs of the planet, but most importantly, they needed to hold a certain amount of authority within the demons. This was because I needed someone to prevent the demons who resided outside of this planet from having any suspicions about what was going on on this planet.

My top priority was to conceal the existence of this planet, and the only person who could fulfill all of my requirements was Suriol.

There was only one problem.

'This might be a lot harder than I originally anticipated.'

When I felt Suriol's menacing glare turn toward me, I knew it would be much more difficult than I had anticipated to persuade him to do my bidding.

"Should I just feed him to Angelica? ...She might just be able to break through to Duke rank if I give her his core. But I don't know if she will accept it, I do remember her saying that she dislikes this type of stuff. Then, should I just kill him and be done with everything? or should I just use the core to buy the loyalty of one of the demons here? Hmmm..."

I started speaking nonsense while staring at his reaction from the periphery of my vision. It was subtle, but there was definitely a visible paling in his skin tone the more I spoke.

It was from here that I understood that he didn't exactly want to die.

I thus racked my brain and tried to think of something that might convince him to join me.

In all honesty, I had no idea what to say or do at that point in time to persuade him of anything. I felt completely helpless.

That aside, it was also necessary to acknowledge the fact that the other me had never before completely conquered Immorra in the past.

It was also one of the main reasons that led me to want to conquer this planet.

The fact that I was able to learn the truth about my life while being shown the memories of my other self may seem like a curse to some people, but I beg to differ.

The ability to access his memories was essential to my success in defeating him, and there was a very straightforward explanation for why this was the case.

'I know now exactly what he went through and all the paths he has not taken.'

If I wanted to have a better chance of defeating him, I would have to take routes that he had not previously taken. At this point, only the unexpected could beat him, and the complete control of Immorra was my first starting point toward accomplishing this goal.

'However, he has already pillaged all of Immorra's treasures, which is another reason why I need Suriol on my side to open the treasury.'

Due to the fact that my memories were rather hazy, I was unable to say for certain what was hidden behind the treasury; however, I was certain that there was definitely good stuff concealed behind it.

Another reason why I needed to keep Suriol alive.

In light of the aforementioned, how was I supposed to persuade him to support my cause? No matter how much I wracked my brain over the situation, I just couldn't come up with a way to convince him to join my side.

In spite of the many suggestions I made I was only met with a single glare from him.
