Chapter 12: The Contract from God

Xius felt as if he was hit by a sledgehammer and everything in front of his eyes started to go dark.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and felt pain all over his body. He was afraid he was not going to make it.

The human body is too weak.

But just when he vaguely felt that death was approaching, a warm current suddenly flowed along the symbiotic contract, rapidly repairing his internal organs.

"This is."

"The symbiotic contract is absolutely equal. Before, I was seriously injured, so it extracted your vitality to heal me. Now it is my return to you."

Ash's voice came from the side. It seemed to be much weaker. It should be the contract that drained its vitality to heal Zeus.

"As long as it is not drained instantly by the contract, it will slowly distribute the damage evenly to both parties."

Tsk, it turns out that he fainted before because he was too weak, otherwise this symbiotic contract would actually be more beneficial to him. After all, Ash's vitality is much stronger than his.

Xius slowed down, then looked around.

The body fragments of the Ash people fell from above like rain. They created a huge explosion at the cost of their lives and perished together with the ghost ship.

The fish people were indeed afraid of the Abyss. They stopped attacking after releasing the ghost ship.

The cursed gathered together in silence.

They looked at Ash, waiting for an explanation.

Ash nodded at Hughes and then explained the principle of water pressure.

As it spoke, the eyes of these swollen monsters slowly opened wider.

"Water pressure? Our curse is actually water pressure?"

"Unbelievable. Impossible. But it seems that no one from our tribe has ever tried to enter the Abyss."

"Whoever comes here will go crazy if they enter the Abyss!"

Xiusi's heart suddenly moved. He had heard them mention more than once that entering the Abyss would make them go crazy.

He could understand the dangers, as no matter how powerful a creature was, it would have to face death, but what did it mean to go crazy? Could it be that this place was rich in certain chemicals that could cause mental illness?

A swollen monster came forward and bowed slightly to Hughes. "You are indeed a very knowledgeable and wise man. Whether your guess is right or not, you have won our respect and friendship."

Then it looked at Ash again: "Ash, we are willing to believe you. We also saw your calmness and determination when we just connected. We are willing to trust your judgment, but we also need you to tell us, what makes you believe that he is a god?"

The swollen monsters became a little restless, and Zeus noticed that many expectant eyes were cast towards him. This race had been tortured by curses and slavery for too long, and they were looking forward to the arrival of redemption, but some of them could not believe that this would be true.

In fact, they really hope that Zeus is a real god.

It’s a pity to disappoint you, Xiu Si smiled bitterly.

He is just an ordinary man. With a little cleverness and luck, he is lucky enough to be able to help these poor guys. How can he be a god?

Moreover, Zeus frowned. He subconsciously disliked the word "God".

As a time traveler, he would rather see mortals control their own destiny rather than being controlled by some gods.

Ash stood up. Just now, Zeus had taken away a lot of its vitality through the symbiotic contract. It was now visibly weak, but its eyes were full of determination.

"I signed a symbiotic contract with him, you already know that." Ash looked around: "But there is one thing the contract was signed directly."

The sea suddenly became quiet.

"What does it mean to sign directly?" a young tribesman asked curiously.

"Literally, I proposed the contract to him and the contract was signed. There was no explanation or communication. I learned from synaesthesia at the moment of signing the contract that he did not know the details of the symbiotic contract."

"Synesthesia cannot lie. At that moment, I could see into his heart."

"He really didn't know about the symbiotic contract."

They were stunned, and it took them a while to understand what Ash meant, then they all looked at Zeus with shocked eyes.

Only the cursed knew what this meant. They looked at each other, and then looked at Hughes with awe in their eyes.

Ash looked around and knew that no one would question Zeus' identity anymore.

"Sign it directly. This is a contract from God!"

"God. Really God."

“The legend is actually true”

"There really is a directly established contract!"

Zeus was a little stunned. Why did these swollen monsters suddenly change their attitude? "Wait a minute, I still don't understand - why do I have to be a god if I accept it directly?"

He asked somewhat confusedly.

The surroundings fell silent, and Ash turned to him: "Lord, the contract is absolutely equal. It can take effect without me telling you, which only means one thing - you accept everything in the contract."

"This has never happened before. Unconditionally accepting everything in the contract means not fearing any risks of the contract at all."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xius opened his mouth. He was indeed not afraid of the risk of the contract - at worst he would die. It was not like he had never died before.

But you can't tell these bloated monsters that he can come and go at will. That would make him sound more like a god.

A small voice came:

"I still don't understand. If he is a lunatic who is not afraid of death at all, can't he just sign the contract directly?"

The tribesmen looked over.

"Monica, you are still too young and have not had much contact with the symbiotic contract." The tribesman next to it came over and patted it gently on the back.

"A contract is the embodiment of reason. A mad person cannot sign it. As for not being afraid of death."

"No matter how fearless a person is, there will always be a hint of hesitation in his subconscious mind. This slight hesitation cannot escape the law of absolute equality of the contract."

"Besides, at the moment of signing the contract, both parties can get a glimpse of each other's heart."

"Of course, the most important point is this: the prophecy clearly states that the new god will directly sign the contract, just like in the past."

Ash nodded, "Yes, everything is correct, exactly."

The cursed had only heard of the contract being concluded directly in ancient legends. Legend had it that the contract was concluded directly when the gods signed a contract with them before they left their homes.

According to legend, that was the first member of their tribe and the first symbiotic contract signed.

Therefore, in the eyes of the cursed, only God can directly make the symbiotic contract come true.

——God knows everything, and God doesn’t care about the cost.

Later, they lost their homeland, their gods, their normal bodies, and so much else. They didn't know how long they had been in decline.

And now.

Ash looked back at Zeus and felt his blood burning in his body. This was the new god of the cursed, and he also told him the truth about the cursed.

It looked down towards the abyss.

The deep sea, perhaps that is the promised land for the cursed.

Hope, salvation, God, this man is everything to the cursed, and they cannot lose God anymore.

A firm and fearless will surged in his chest, and from the moment the symbiotic contract took effect, Ash knew his fate.

It will protect its gods.

No matter what the cost.
