Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

'You want me to visit your kingdom?'

'Yes.'

'You want me to go to the world of Canzers, and head towards your kingdom, where it's also filled with Canzers….you want me to go to that kingdom?'

Atlan was dumbstruck by her request. It was nonsensical. He thought that she would ask him something along the line of killing a few weak Canzers she found annoying, or maybe even make him spy on the humans for her.

He expected her to make him do something hard, but he never expected her to invite him to her home.

After all, where was her castle located? It wasn't on the other side of the world. It wasn't underground. And it wasn't even out into the stars. The Queen and the rest of the Canzers lived in a very different dimension than the universe that Atlan was currently living in.

He knew nothing about their world. Just a few days ago, he never even knew that Canzers had their own society, much less a world of their own.

If he visited the Queen's kingdom, he would be infiltrating the very home of humanity's sworn enemies. He would be surrounded by Canzers of all kinds, and they would no doubt be angry that a human infiltrated their world.

Atlan didn't even know if it was possible to enter the Canzer's world. And even if it was, he wouldn't want to put himself in danger by putting himself in the thick of millions of Canzers.

'No way,'

Atlan refused.

'I don't even know how to go to your world, and I don't want to know.'

The dragon anticipated his refusal, but she didn't get discouraged.

'You underestimate yourself. The power you hold in those wings of yours is a lot stronger than you think. It can take you anywhere and everywhere, you just need to unlock its true potential.' Continue reading on empire

The Queen knew more about Angels than Atlan did, so she knew how powerful they were. In her perspective, Atlan was using his Wings with a very modicum amount of proficiency. If he improved it more, then he could become one of those monsters that could travel through the world and dimensions within the blink of an eye.

'That's not the problem. I don't exactly want to go to a place full of dangerous Canzers. Even if you can guarantee me safety in your kingdom, who's to say that the other kingdoms won't try to assassinate me the moment I step into your world?'

The Queen moved her towering dragon body closer to Atlan, making him step back.

'I am not asking you to go to my world while you're so weak. Once you have advanced to a level where you're confident enough to protect yourself, then you can hop on into my kingdom.'

'What if I don't want to go to your world?'

The Queen laughed once again as if she knew more than she was letting on.

'In the future, I'm guessing that you will have to.'

Atlan couldn't decipher her words. He found no reason he would ever want to go to the Canzer's home world now or in the future.

'What do you mean?'

'Your power will send shockwaves both in the human and the Canzer world. There will be a few who will rejoice at your power, while most will rally against you.

Despite how powerful you can become, you cannot do it alone. You will need allies, whether they are humans like you or Canzers like me.'

The Queen was basically saying that Atlan would have a lot of enemies he couldn't face alone. And the help of humans wasn't going to be enough. He'd need even the strength of Canzers like the Queen.

Atlan wasn't shortsighted. He knew that there was a sliver of truth in the Queen's words.

Once the world found out that he obtained the powers of the God of Death, then they would soon realize that he was the one who set off the apocalypse. They would reset him, for he was the one who deprived them of their eternal life.

Atlan didn't have to be a prophet to know that there would be a lot of humans who would want to go after his head.

Once he thought about this fact, the Queen's words sounded truer than ever.

Who else better to fight against the humans who want him dead, than Canzers like the Queen? As the famous adage says, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

By allying himself with a strong being like the Queen, then he would guarantee himself more protection in the future.

There could even be a scenario in the future where there was nowhere safe for him in this world. The whole of humanity could turn on him, and he would have nowhere else to go but the Canzers' world.

He looked up at the giant dragon in front of him.

'I don't have to go to your kingdom right now, do I?'

'No. I can't force you to go visit my kingdom if you don't want to. So, are you accepting my offer?'

And just as he was about to accept her offer, the Queen softened up the deal even further.

'And to give you more incentive, I will be presenting to you death row inmates you can kill yourself. These are very strong Canzers that are stronger than the Huntsman, the White Canzer, or the Prince.'

Her words truly sparked a desire in Atlan's heart. The prospect of reaping a Specialist-level Canzer was enough of an incentive to make Atlan look forward to his visit to the Canzers' world.

'Alright. We have a deal.'

The Dragon flashed a smile with his acceptance. Her body started to morph and become smaller and smaller, turning back to her original form.

Once Atlan got a good look at her, he realized that she looked a lot like the White Canzer, except for the fact that she had black chitin and wore a more mature air around her.

But as it turned out, she wasn't done morphing her body.

Her chitin disappeared, leaving only a beautiful olive-colored skin. Her face held more emotion that gave her complexity.

She had become human. She took advantage of Atlan's surprise and leaned to kiss him on the cheek.

'This is a symbol of our agreement,'

she said, leaving a lipstick kiss mark on the side of his face.
