Seeing this bastard playing with my life, I was feeling intense anger and terror, but I could only curse him inside while he was still making that provoking expression on his face. The goddess was surely taken back due to her devotee's life, so she was trying her best to control her anger, and there was no way that she would be manifesting in her real form just to kill him. So surely I was getting a sense of security while feeling insecure about what if this creep pissed her off so much that she would stop thinking about anything else but just me and us. But she took a deep breath and gestured towards Bona about what he has for her. While this creep gave a nasty grin and spoke: "You remember, last time many people died due to misfortune, and I still hold their souls, and you know how tasty religious souls are, so I would give you those tasty souls, and some of them were quite attached to you, so I think it will be a great amount for giving all of us something like security or maybe a boon that could save us if you started rampaging, right?" Hearing his words, her expressions turned darker, and she was clearly trying her best to control her anger, while I was tightening my grip on Vardhan, because if a fight broke out right now, then at least I would run if I focused on using my spirits as a shield, but of course not Antak and others but rather smaller spirits. While her eyes turned red, she took a deep breath and spoke: "I might leave him and others, but not you, bastard. You will be repenting for your every sin. You dared to slaughter my countless devotees and even managed to flee with their souls, but this time you won't be leaving. No matter how many rules I have to break, you won't be surviving this war!" Hearing her words, we all realized that this creep specially slaughtered her devotees mainly, and now he was shamelessly trading their souls with her only. This is the person who truly has balls of steel. Because in any myths, whenever they described this goddess, they suggested to just run away or surrender, but this creep was clearly provoking her while trading with her and he wasn't even looking slightest bit of terror and I was thinking about all these things, he started smiling and spoke: ' Oh goddess, you still have same simple nature, I surely liked it whenever I saw it but believe me I have so many interesting things, that could force you to forgive me, As I hold countless secrets about your so called devotees that if You got know them then believe me, you would even deny to call them your devotees and you remember my nature, I always remain true to my words, So think about why did I introduce myself if I didn't had anything to play. So tell me the price for forgiving my life also with them because there is no way I am going to leave without taking that boon!" Hearing his words, she cursed all of us multiple times, but after some time, she sighed and spoke: "Ok, give me all the souls you have, and I promise I won't harm either of you, but instead I will come to rescue you all, but only for one time!" Hearing that she just got caught in his game, he made a denial gesture and spoke. " Nope that is not possible because I have so many souls of countless devotees that I can't just give you everyone's because you see, other powerhouses will also be joining the war and there is no way, we are fall for that one time trick, because you had that schemeful god, Vishnu and many other creeps and who would do any crime to set their own legion, so I will be needing some thing else but thinking about you, I can return you, your half of the followers because over decades, I had multiple encounters with your so called devoters, so if you can agree on half of souls and you will be providing us security and something like boon that you won't break, no matter how much angry or berserk you get but you won't break that boon, I need it for all of us that you will be responsible with your boon, no matter the circumstances or situation because war is nobody's friend or ally and I have so many good examples about gods, demons and spirits that I can't trust either of them. So I request you to accept half souls, and I promise I will return the other half also to you after winning the war!" Hearing it, she looked at us and kept staring us because this was no small decision and right now she was being thoughtful instead of getting berserk or supreme, so it was a choice that held countless lives. So she spoke: 'OK, I am going to accept half souls and give my boon to you all that no matter which side or how many members you have in your group, I won't harm them, no matter how angry or fierce I get in the future, but it might happen that in my rage I forget about my promise, so it will be your duty to remind me, using someone who could bring me back to my senses, and I will turn my khadak from you all to the other side, but it doesn't mean that I will protect you all or fight for any of your sides because I made it clear before that I won't be taking either side. Like my previous offer, it will be one-time protection that you all will get in a group; it won't depend on the individual but rather the entire group, so be cautious about the time when you use your boon, or you will waste the entire opportunity of survival, and then you won't get the privilege of blaming me for not saving you all next time!" Hearing her words, we took the breaths of calm because just now a miracle happened: this creep managed to crack a deal with 'the Goddess Kali,' who is considered one of the most fierce goddesses, and this creep even bowed his head for a single moment. After seeing it, I can only compliment him using three words: 'Balls of Steel!'
