Chapter 1050 Reasonable At All Times.
Ragnarok said with mirth, "If I knew that you would speak to me once I decide to threaten the living things of the plane then I would have done it a long time ago."
It said to him in a stern voice, "This is not a joking matter Ragnarok. You intend to put trillions of lives at risk."
He nodded in agreement. "It is obvious that it is not a joking matter. This matter is very serious or you wouldn't have reached out to me at all. You certainly wouldn't have done so in the Underdark where your divine sense is supposed to be unable to reach. I wonder how you have managed to do this?"
"That is not any of your business."
Ragnarok scoffed at that reply. The demon god told him that the fountain of life couldn't monitor the Underdark. That's why the dark elves moved here. Apparently, that is a lie. It is either the demon god lied or the dark elves were deceived.
The dark elves might actually be right and so was the demon god. In that case, this person that he is speaking to is not actually the fountain of life. It could be anything but it is certain that something is fishy here since he is speaking with the fountain of life here in the Underdark where its influence is not supposed to be able to reach.
The voice said to him in that cold stern voice, "What you need to know is that you must stop what you are about to do. I have truly been watching but I have only once acted against you. That was when you were being hunted by the wood elves after you became a vampire."
"Is that so?"
"It is so. I didn't want you to fall into CARNAGE's hands so it was not personal. What you are about to do is personal. It will be ill-advised to add me to your list of enemies now. You had help from the Vampires before so you could escape from me. You have no one now."
"What's what I am about to do your business anyway? It is not as if you will be threatened by them. You are much too strong for that." He asked but he didn't stop digging.
"This plane and everything within it is mine. The wood elves are my pets. Even the dark elves are mine. They exist for my pleasure and my pleasure alone. I could have wiped them out but I didn't. I let them live here in the Underdark. They amused me so I let them live. The demon god stole some of them from me. That is a grave offense. But it doesn't compare to what you are about to do."
Ragnarok snickered. "Hmm. So you are just a perv? You like to peek at people when they don't know you're watching."
Clearly, he is not taking this seriously. The fountain of life became even more dissatisfied with him.
It said to him, "Focus on the important matter."
He chose not to focus on the important matter. He said, "The demon god said that you don't like to kill because you are weak. I think you didn't kill the dark elves just like you didn't kill the Warrog paragons because you truly do not like death."
If this voice truly belongs to the fountain of life, then it has always been aware of what is going on in the Underdark. It could have wiped the dark elves out if it wanted to. So clearly it didn't want to. It chose to let them go after they rebelled against its rule.
He refuses to believe that the mercy it showed is simply because it was amused with the dark elves. He refuses to believe that. No one as powerful as the fountain of life should be that bored.
Sure, it can be amusing to spy on weaklings who think they are safe from you. But there has to be more than that for someone as powerful as the fountain of life to spare them. Or it could be that the fountain of life really doesn't like to kill?
Personally, Ragnarok doesn't care. He is just speaking about it because he is trying to avoid speaking about what's truly important. He will speak about anything except his current agenda. It is all to have some fun before he does something that might kill him.
The voice growled at him. "You are playing with fire Ragnarok. I assure you that I can kill you if I want to. And right now, I am about to unleash a world of pain on you if you don't become serious."
"Fine. I will stop what I am about to do. But only if you give me safe passage out of the plane."
If he can leave the plane successfully then there is no reason for him to bother with the conflict between the plane and the demon god. He is always reasonable as long as there are benefits to be had.
The fountain of life seemed to have calmed down. Its tone became lower. It said, "That can be arranged. You can take the planar portal but it is currently in control of the Vampires. Join the wood elves to take it and you will be able to leave the plane."
Ragnarok wasn't fooled. He said, "You can't say that I shouldn't act dumb while you act dumb. You can't say that I am not foolish and expect me to believe that I can take the planar portal with the wood elves."
"What do you mean?"
Ragnarok's mental voice rose. "If it were so easy to leave the plane, you would have taken the planar portal and left. You are obviously much stronger than me. If you couldn't take the planar portal, how do you expect me to take it from the Vampires guiding it? You must think I am foolish and I find that insulting."
