"And you expect us to believe such words coming from someone we just met?" the Grand Cardinal asked, and William crossed his arms as he calmly smiled.
"You know I'm not just a normal person, right?" He bragged about this. After all, if he was normal, they wouldn't have shown any interest in him at all.
"That's not enough," the Grand Cardinal slowly shook his head, "we need proof, something that we can believe."
"Then spy on my fate," William extended his arms wide open.
"You know we can't," the Grand Cardinal sighed, "we tried, and failed. Your fate is one of the most dangerous ones we have ever seen in the past hundreds of years."
"And I'm not the only one with such fate," William laughed, as if he was amused by this.

"That one can't be touched now, believe me, it's beyond your abilities, anyone's abilities," William was clear about saying anything regarding the nine tailed fox. He was willing to help, but not with anything related to that fox.
"Yet we need anything about that enemy, at least we can warn the outer world department and let them make preparations for it."
The Grand Cardinal still wanted to know anything about that fox. And that made William inwardly sigh. He knew they wouldn't be able to hold a candle against it, and yet he didn't know the full abilities of these people.
So, he thought about a middle ground solution and decided to go for it.
"I can do this for you," he paused, looking in a serious way towards that Cardinal, "I'll share part of what I know when I'm up there."
"You have high hopes to go there? Pft!"
"That's funny! If it's that easy, then we were able to do it, hahahaha!"
Many Cardinals laughed, and yet William didn't even show any sign of getting distressed or something. In fact, he looked as calm as ever, as serious as before. And that made the Cardinals stop what they were saying, take what he just said far seriously.
"You are dead serious about this," the Grand Cardinal sized William up and down before adding, "so… You want to keep anything related to that monster until you arrive at the outer world? What guarantees that this monster won't cause any trouble there?"
"None," William shrugged, "but I guess it's not that foolish to attract your attention."
"If it tries to do anything, we'll directly spot it," the Grand Cardinal paused, "so you want to exchange intel about the monster in this world with us, in return for knowing everything about our ways, right?"
"That was the old deal," William crossed his arms, "now you and I are linked together to the same ship."
"You want us to help you against other enemies? For what?"
"We aren't your followers, kiddo!"
The Cardinals seemed to get stirred up by what William said. Yet he simply shrugged as he responded to all these comments with a few simple words, "if you want to save the world like you claim, then you have to help me. After all, my goal is also to save the world from the upcoming crisis, and I can't do it alone."

First, he needed to check the scrolls he gained from the other branch. He wanted to learn about all the basics, before he'd start negotiating about the knowledge he'd get from the Cult Cardinals.
He didn't know if the branch told them about the scrolls they exchanged with him or not. And he didn't care. "Where can I stay then?" He knew it'd be bad if he had to remain here. And he didn't believe they'd let him remain when they were about to discuss his offer.
"We have places for our visitors," the Grand Cardinal paused. Before he'd say anything else, he closed the door opened, and a group of twenty masters appeared.
They all wore silver outfits, with tight cloaks that showed their body shapes. As a surprise, William realised they were all ladies, and they all had perfect bodies and curves.
He didn't know what they were doing in the Cult, but it'd be extremely weird if they were the special guards of the Cardinals. And as he expected, they actually were!
When the Grand Cardinal explained things over, William couldn't help but inwardly sigh. What was the point in making hot ladies like these join an exclusive force to guard the Cardinals. Were they there to guard or entertain them?
But William had no say in any of this, and simply followed the steps of the twenty ladies out of the giant hall of the Cardinals. When he went outside, the door closed, and the last thing he saw was the glaring eyes of the Grand Cardinal.
"I hope they take my suggestion quite seriously," William wanted to hit many birds with one stone. If he secured the alliance with them, then he'd secure a mighty weapon on his side.
They didn't just have strong forces and masters, not just their unique ways in seeing the future, but they also had branches all over the world.
They were organised, highly connected and ruled by a regime. And to him, this was the perfect ally he'd dream to have when the world would come to an end.
He didn't know what exactly brought the end of the world. Monster swarms seemed the logical answer before, yet he now greatly doubted it.
