"Please speak your mind."
It seemed that the Snake Dowager really did view Leylin as someone of equal rank, and Leylin noticed that she was very wary about Gu Long. It didn't take long for him to realize that she was feeling instinctive fear of his Bloodline.
In the end, Snake Dowager's Bloodline was only that of Rank 8 Magus, while Gu Long's was of, technically speaking, Quasi Rank 11 Bloodline, which was an absolutely frightening prospect and even though it wasn't properly awakened, it was very strong.
Someone as powerful as Snake Dowager could feel it...
Even he himself could feel the strength of Gu Long's Bloodline.
"Firstly, I must truly advance to Rank 7 before I agree to embark on this project. Furthermore, I also want…"
Leylin listed the requirements that he had already thought of.
"Wait for you to advance to Rank 7?"
The Snake Dowager's gaze swept across Leylin.
"The Laws of Gluttony that you are in control of is considered an exceptionally outstanding ability even among other Rank 7 beings. I'm afraid that it would require a lengthy amount of time to fill in its gaps completely. As for your other request…"
The Snake Dowager also started to mutter to herself.
She wasn't really happy about the conditions and the one to wait until Dragon before her reached the Rank 7 Beings of Law. She was very unsettled about the presence of the Dragon, but her current situation wasn't allowing her any other chances.
"You will not have to worry about my advancement. I'll definitely be able to fully comprehend the laws of Gluttony within at least a thousand years. The other request is my bottom line. If you are unable to agree to it, then I can only express my regret."
Leylin wasn't willing to give in by even an inch.
"Will do!"
It was a long time before the Snake Dowager spoke.
"In addition, we will have to agree to and sign a Soul and Blood Void Geass, with the Dreamscape as our witness."
Soul and Blood Void Geass was probably the strictest contract method that Leylin has ever seen and not even the Beings of Law could dream of breaching it. It was something that was brought by Gu Long over from the Chthonian Empire of the Baator.
Soul and Blood Void Geasses were the basis of the Chthonian Empire and were the reason why their society could function like a well-oiled machine.
Soon after, all three of them signed the Soul and Blood Void Geass.
'Snake Dowager agreed to such a condition and even signed a contract. Seems like she really is sincere about it.'
Leylin wasn't a battle maniac, of course. If he could reduce his enemies as much as possible on the premise of protecting his own interests, it was certainly a good thing.
'Since I'm in Dreamscape, I might as well visit Gillian and the others.'
After being carried away by a whim, Leylin suddenly had an idea as he disappeared, leaving there Gu Long and Snake Dowager alone.
Snake Dowager noticed that the Dragon was looking intensively at her for a few minutes.
After looking at the Snake Dowager for a few minutes, he let out a loud roar at the Snake Dowager, utilizing all of the Bloodline Power he had in his body, as the Snake Dowager, despite being peak Rank 8 Magus, took several steps back.
"You are strong and have a strong Bloodline... Soon I will defeat you in single combat and claim you as my mate."
Gu Long stated as he disappeared from the Dreamscape.
Snake Dowager huffed in anger and partial humiliation that the Dragon dared to issue such a proclamation in front of her that she wanted to kill him. But at the same time, she felt the strength of his Bloodline and it was clearly far superior to hers.
"Certainly, interesting times are coming."
After a short while, the gigantic ball of snakes gradually vanished from the starry sky and the surrounding environment had been restored to its deathly still state.
While Snake Dowager had countless descendants, all of them were created by her only; she has never mated because she wouldn't let herself to be soiled by someone who was weaker than she was.
There were not many who were worthy of her.

Magus World, Sky City
After Gu Long has accompanied Leylin to meet the Snake Dowager, he was attracted by not only her appearance but also her Bloodline.
Rarely someone caught his eye, such as the Snake Dowager, whose Bloodline would put her on top even in the Kadath Universe.
Progenitor Bloodlines were exceedingly rare and rarely someone found one of them and become a Progenitor. So, Gu Long felt some sort of innate attraction to the Snake Dowager, even though she was technically racially inferior to the Dragons.
At the same time, she had a certain level of ethereal beauty around her that was completely indescribable.
Right now, Gu Long only needed to wait for his partner to reach the World of Gods and allow him the passage through the special ritual that Gu Long gave him and which Leylin adjusted to fit this world.
Afterward, Gu Long would reach the next Tier, become Law God, enter the local Baator, and summon his father's Avatar to finish the mission. Gu Long was already on the verge of creating Law Godhood, though he decided for Leylin to reach that Rank first.
He was aware that his father was using the Magus as the pseudo-experimental subject so he could gather data about the Law Godhood and the merger. Merging the Law Path and God Path was dangerous and the Father of All Devils wasn't taking any chances with it.
"Whatever... I will just sleep and wait until he completes everything..."
Gu Long as a proper dragon, decided to sleep until it was done. According to his predictions, he had a few centuries until Leylin was finished with the preparation and gaining a proper foothold in the World of Gods.
