With his beastly form destroyed, Zal-Ka'Rith understood that escalating this further would only make cooperation more difficult to achieve.
Once a certain line has been passed, it becomes near impossible for the losing side to accept reason.
And that line was not something Zal-Ka'Rith wanted to cross at this moment.
Not when he still needed to collaborate with Alice.
Just as Alice was about to move, the Outer God quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"I think you've made your point clear. There's no reason for us to fight to the death like this." Zal-Ka'Rith smiled helplessly.
Alice narrowed her eyes but didn't drop her guard.
"If it makes you feel safer, why don't we strap the golden chains to me? This is me taking the step forward and trusting that you won't just kill me on the spot." He offered.
"Even if the Golden Chains can bind you, I doubt someone like you would die so easily. At most, it'll give you a wound that's more annoying than most." Alice called out his bluff.
