Tang Shaoyang was a little bit surprised inside. He expected Ira to ask him to join her faction, not the alliance. What surprised him even more was that the offer was not as a subordinate but as an equal standing in the alliance.
He understood why they offered him such a good offer. It was him, not his empire or his people. For all things he had shown, they wanted someone like him to be on their side. The offer was too good to refuse.
If Ira was telling the truth, then there was no disadvantage for him. But again, there was no benefit to him accepting the offer. He did not need their help because he wanted all the God Rank's bodies. The chance of him dying in this trial was almost zero with his Seven Souls. He still had five lives, and each time he revived, he was ten percent stronger.
"I still need time to think about your invitation to join Nebula," Tang Shaoyang was genuine when he said he needed time to consider the invitation.
