Supreme Harem God System novel Chapter 2289

Chapter 2289: I do not trust you four.

"That is enough.

We still need information about the Anomaly.

Don’t act rashly."

Equarios spoke as he stared at Ul’Thakar and then Azriel. From his tone, he seemed like he was talking to both of them, but it was clear that his message was for Ul’Thakar.

Ul’Thakar understood that as well and he took control over his temper, a temper that had overtaken him for a very small moment there.

He looked at Equarios, who nodded at him again without any change in his expression, then he looked back at Azriel.

"You have a way with words."

He commented.

"I know people with a far sharper tongue, you need to control your temper if you wish to encounter him."

Azriel answered, looking at Ul’Thakar.

"Are you... talking about the Anomaly?"

Orravyn asked.

After all, he couldn’t imagine many people talking to Ul’Thakar the way Azriel did. He had also personally seen every single recording the Anomaly had spread in the Universe in hopes of learning something about him. His plan didn’t work, the Anomaly didn’t reveal much about himself in the recordings, but if there was one thing he did learn about the foreign monster, it was that he... was annoying.

And not just slightly annoying or a nuisance, the Anomaly was... charmingly annoying. He had a way to get under people’s skin without doing anything.

Orravyn hadn’t forgotten that same creepily calm smile at the end of every single one of his recordings, like everything was going according to the plan.

He, who wasn’t even at the receiving end of those recordings and wasn’t dealing with any damage, felt his frustration boiling up. He could only imagine what Seraphielle must have felt while she watched those.

It wouldn’t be surprising if the Infinity of Light actually snapped and did something out of expectation.

While Orravyn was thinking all this, Azriel looked at him and he—

"Yes."

He nodded at his question.

"So you do know him."

Orravyn pointed out.

"I already told you that."

Azriel frowned, as if he couldn’t understand why the man was talking like he had revealed a universal secret when he had already made it so obvious.

Seeing his expression, Orravyn felt his mouth twitch, but he didn’t show it. He just stared at him and—

"What can you tell us about him?"

"There is nothing much."

Azriel spoke.

"As I said, he was merely an outsider in my eyes, someone who came to my world as a mercenary, he sought my permission to trade, I gave him the permission."

"That’s it?"

Orravyn frowned.

"That is it."

Azriel nodded with a convincing look on his face, but—

"You protected him.

You hid him from us.

Your relationship doesn’t seem that simple."

Seraphielle spoke as she looked into Azriel’s eyes. Azriel looked at her and for a moment, they both were silent. No matter how desperately Seraphielle tried to hide it, the Anomaly’s existence bothered her.

She wanted to know more about him and find a way to deal with him, and now that it was finally in front of her, she was getting more desperate.

The Fifth Infinity, however, didn’t react to her words, at least not as strongly as she thought he would.

"He offered me a trade, something I couldn’t refuse. And in return, he asked me to protect him from some ’eyes’. I didn’t even know those eyes would be... you people, I simply held up my end of the deal."

"You knew it was us and yet you still didn’t find him suspicious?"

Seraphielle asked.

"Hmm? Why would I? You are the Four Supremes, don’t you have your eyes on the entire Universe? You lot are nosy and it is not uncommon for beings to try and hide things from you."

"The Universe reacted to him, even back then. As an Infinity, you should have been able to sense its anger, yet you still helped him.

Did you not, for once, doubt why even the Universe is reacting to his movements? That there must be something suspicious about him?"

Light asked another question.

"Surprising the Universe isn’t difficult.

You should know it better than I do."

Azriel’s answer was direct.

Seraphielle did not deny his words either, there was no point, not when they too were hiding things from the Universe’s Will. They also knew that as an Infinity who was no different from them, the Fifth Infinity too must be hiding things from the Universe, so yes, at some level, agitating the Universe wasn’t a difficult thing.

It just showed you were... bad at hiding.

Or at least, that’s what any one of them would have thought if something like that had happened with them.

But even then, even if they had thought of that, they would have investigated a ’foreign mercenary who came to their world for trade’, they might even have captured him alive and read his memories, just to make sure he was clear.

After all, as simple as it sounded, fooling the Universe wasn’t exactly a... breeze. At least not if you are not an Infinity. If someone other than an Infinity had pulled something like that, they would have definitely read his memories and investigated him thoroughly.

So...

Either the Fifth Infinity wasn’t as sly as he showed himself to be.

Or he was lying.

About the Anomaly, about everything he knew about him.

And the Infinities, they were leaning towards the latter.

"What was it?"

Suddenly, Orravyn asked a question. Azriel glanced at him and Orravyn—

"The trade he offered you, the thing you couldn’t refuse.

What was it that made even an Infinity move?"

"I will not answer that."

Azriel shook his head and the Infinities... they turned silent.

"Why is that?"

Orravyn asked after about a minute of silence passed.
