Re:Immortal

"I'm sure you can understand our concerns mister Krano, with both me and Addi leaving, the 'Immortals' faction will have significantly less strength to defend itself." Explained Omis.

"Should you decide that our previous agreement was null, and see no use and keeping your word, then we would stand no chance against you without two of our only God realm cultivators." Added Tizzy.

"Unless you want to send some of your guys to do the dirty work instead of us." Spoke Addi, although he said that, everyone present knew that Krano could not send any of his members out.

The reason was simple, the primordial energy they cultivated was rather thin the further away they moved from the realm which would, in turn, cause their cultivation prowess to go down.

And since the situation in the outside world seemed rather hectic, information was crucial to them as no one knew the state of the war of the 'Divine' or when they might launch an attack again.

"Don't think you It's not in my favor to do something as stupid as killing off my allies when an even bigger threat looms above our heads?" Asked Krano with a frown. He had a point, why would he endanger the entire realm just to kill off the competition when Omis and Addi were not present.

"I would like to think you are not that stupid to do so mister Krano, but the hearts of men are inconceivable, no one could tell for sure what can happen." Omis was the one reply at that his gaze steady as he met Krano's stare.

After a long moment of heavy silence, Krano finally spoke. "What would the promise be exactly?" He asked.

"That's simple, you won't make or orchestrate anything that would harm the 'Immortals' as long as we aren't there." Grinned Addi.

The reason why the promise included 'as long as they weren't there, was because as Omis started before, no one really knows what could happen in the future. Forcing Krano to make a promise like that keeps the possibility of conflict in the future open in the future but it would at least guarantee the safety of their members for the time being.

"I take it master Tizzy will take a Dao promise alongside me as well, correct?" Asked Krano as he turned his head to glance at Tizzy who had long been prepared for this question.

With a firm nod, Tizzy replied with a smile. "Of course master Krano."

"Hmmm." Krano descended into a deep train of thought as he stroked his chin. Rolus who was standing behind him and always had a passive face with an unreadable expression now wore an uncomfortable face.

Omis alongside Addi and Tizzy knew that Krano and his butler were discussing the entire situation with one another using their divine senses, so they did not disturb them and merely remained silent while drinking the tea that was served to them in patience.

After what seemed to be a long time, Rolus's expression finally seemed to ease up a little as he regained his passive look, Krano then spoke in a serious tone.

"I accept, with one condition, however." He said.

"Oh?" Omis's eyes turned sharp.

"Both of you will have to make a Dao promise as well that you will share whatever information you come across out there will not, while also promising that you won't make any moves against our faction while you are there. Master Tizzy is also to make one, so we can be sure he won't plot against us while you are away." Said Krano, his gaze never leaving Omis for a second.

'That should be acceptable.' Came Tizzy's divine message.

'Addi?' asked Omis with a message of his own.

'I don't see any problems either.' He replied with a nod.

"We accept." Said Omis with a smile.

Soon the group was standing next to one another as Krano began to recite his Dao promise.

"I Krano, leader of the 'primordials' swear on the Dao that I shall not make any moves that could harm nor scheme against the 'Immortals' in any way for as long as Omis and Addi are away. If I fail to uphold my promise, may my cultivation base and soul return to the great Dao." As soon as he finished speaking, a strange boundless power began to swirl around his body as it rushed towards his heart and dantian.

This was the manifestation of the Dao promise, should he fail to uphold his word, the power would instantly shatter his cultivation base before killing him and merging him with the Dao.

With his promise made, it was now Tizzy's turn.

"I Tizzy, leader of the 'Immortals' swear on the Dao that I shall not make any moves that could harm not scheme against the 'primordials' in any way as long as Omis and Addi are away. If I fail to uphold my promise, let my cultivation base and soul return to the great Dao." A similar scene happened as the boundless unfathomable power of the Dao manifested itself and rushed towards his heart and Dantian instantly sealing the deal.

Finally, it was Omis and Addi's turn. They glanced at one another and nodded before speaking at the same time.

"I Omis/Addi, member of the 'Immortals' swear on the Dao that I shall not make any moves that could harm not scheme against the 'primordials' in any way as long as I am away, and promise to share whatever information I come across to Krano while in the outside world. If I fail to uphold my promise, let my cultivation base and soul return to the great Dao." They simultaneously began their promise and simultaneously ended it. The power of the Dao came down once more as it bound them to their words.

Omis tried to circle his divine energy around the Dao's energy, yet it easily diverted him away. Omis did not feel very comfortable with the foreign power inside his body acting as a scythe breathing down his neck, yet he had no choice. This was necessary so both sides could trust one another.

As both camps finished with their promises, the mood suddenly turned light as both sides had relieved smiles on their faces. Krano was the first one to break the silence as he extended his hand towards Omis who shook it then towards Tizzy as finally towards Addi who shook it albeit with hesitation.
