"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Jormungandr felt a chill run down its spine. The issue of breeding was no longer important; the crucial point was what followed. It seemed unlikely it would escape today. Jormungandr's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the dozen or so divine beasts it had brought. Becoming someone else's pet, calling someone else its master—it was something it absolutely did not want. Did it still have any dignity as a god? Did it still have any freedom?
"Of course, you'll get plenty of benefits from being my pets," Wang Han said with a smile. "Not only can I restore this place to a forest, but I'll also help you become stronger by following me."
"Then, how about not being your pet?" Jormungandr asked cautiously, clinging to a sliver of hope.
"Not my pet..." Upon hearing this, Wang Han stroked his chin, carefully examining Jormungandr and the magical beasts behind it. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, making them all feel a chill run down their spines. After a long pause, he said, "I've never considered this question, because no one has ever been able to refuse my invitation. The animals and creatures I've taken a liking to have become my pets. Those I don't like are usually dismantled for materials. Of course, I also have a bit of a collecting hobby; sometimes I'll make them into specimens or dissect them for experiments. Of course, whether you become my pet or not is up to you. I don't like to force people."
With each word Wang Han spoke, Jormungandr and its minions behind him felt a growing chill run down their spines, especially as Wang Han's gaze felt like knives.
"Isn't there any other option?" Jormungandr asked cautiously.
"Other options? Do you want me to be your pet?" Wang Han said, a terrifying aura emanating from him, boundless like a vast ocean—slaughter, bloodshed, power, and terror. The giant snake also cooperated by preparing to attack.
Sensing Wang Han's terrifying aura, Jormungandr and the monsters behind him trembled in fear. Although Wang Han was sitting, his powerful aura still made them feel as if they were insurmountable mountains with no top in sight. In Wang Han's aura, they were like withered leaves floating in the sea, about to be swallowed up at any moment.
Behind Jormungandr, one magical beast after another prostrated themselves before Wang Han, acknowledging his status as their master. After all, there were quite a few god-level magical beasts who became human summoned beasts or contracted beasts; it wasn't shameful for them to be beasts. In fact, following a powerful being was more beneficial to them. Of course, having a partner would be even better, but that was something they dared not hope for. Only a few magical beasts stubbornly refused to submit, also assuming an attack stance, while watching Jormungandr, awaiting his decision.
"The betrayal happened way too fast! I, the leader, haven't even given the order yet, and you've already surrendered." Jormungandr felt a chill run down his spine as he watched his underlings betray him in an instant. Looking at his two magical beasts, his back went numb. This was practically driving him to his death.
"It seems your underlings have made their decision. So, what is your decision, Jormungandr?" Wang Han asked, standing up.
As Wang Han stood up, an even more terrifying aura enveloped Jormungandr, giving it the feeling of facing an abyss.
As Wang Han's aura enveloped it, Jormungandr slowly bent down. After much deliberation, it still felt that its life was more important. Although it had lost face, it wasn't without its benefits. It wasn't some great hatred or insult. At worst, it could just say that it had followed Wang Han when it was still a high-level magical beast, and it could even gain the reputation of having a discerning eye for talent.
“A good choice.” Wang Han nodded in satisfaction, glancing at the two magical beasts that still refused to submit. Seeing the two beasts’ crazed eyes, as if they were waiting to die or ready to prove themselves with their lives, he said, “You two are quite spirited, but I won’t kill you, nor will I do anything to you, and I certainly won’t force you to become my pets.”
'Pfft...' Upon hearing this, Jormungandr nearly coughed up blood, and the other magical beasts also felt a pang of regret. However, they dared not say it aloud.
“However, there are conditions,” Wang Han continued, pulling An Qi forward and patting her on the shoulder. “She is a summoner and also my disciple. Become her partner, or at least protect her as she grows. This isn’t a request, but rather a request for you two to give her this opportunity. So, you’ve already rejected me, you’re not going to reject my disciple too, are you?”
Upon hearing this, the two magical beasts nodded, but still said, "It is possible, but your disciple's strength is too weak. Even if we agree to sign a contract with her, the gap between her strength and ours is too great, so she cannot sign a contract with us."
“That’s not a problem. If the summoning contract doesn’t work, there are other contracts.” Hearing this, Wang Han said with a smile, took out a scroll, opened it and placed it on the ground, saying, “This is a spirit summoning contract, which I have improved. It’s similar to the summoning contract, but there are also some differences.”
"What's different?" the two monsters asked immediately, pricking up their ears to listen carefully, not wanting to be tricked by the details.
Wang Han said, “First, this contract doesn't require you to constantly follow the summoner or stay in the summoner's summoning space. You can still live in the Monster Forest. You will only be summoned to the sorcerer's side when needed. My disciple is very poor and cannot afford to feed you for the time being. Second, this is a two-way summoning spell. You can summon the sorcerer to your side, or you can summon them in reverse, going to the sorcerer's side on your own. Third, there are no restrictions on the number, strength, or race of the summoned objects. You just need to sign your name on this contract. Of course, those who are too weak to summon those who are too strong will not be able to, but the contract has been signed. You only need to become strong enough to summon, or you can borrow the power of others to enter your body for summoning. Even if the summoning fails, it will not have any impact on you; it will only consume some energy.”
Upon hearing this, all the magical beasts widened their eyes. This was simply the perfect agreement for ganging up and running away, and it was also very advantageous to the magical beasts.
Anqi looked at Wang Han in surprise, finally understanding why Wang Han had so many summoned beasts. And now Wang Han was actually passing on this secret technique to her.
"How is it?" Wang Han asked. However, Wang Han did not tell them that it was very difficult to break the contract after it was signed. For magical beasts, they either died or their names disappeared from the contract.
The two magical beasts looked at each other and nodded in unison. They were not only willing to accept this outcome, but they were also quite happy with it.
“The right choice.” Wang Han nodded in satisfaction. “Then write your names on it with your blood, and the contract will be established. The method and detailed rules will automatically be transmitted into your minds after the contract is established. Just use the energy in your body to input into the contract. Of course, you'd better not try to communicate with the two names at the beginning of this spirit contract. It may not be successful, and you will die.”
Upon hearing this, Angie and the two magical beasts nodded seriously and signed their names on the contract with their own blood. However, Angie found it strange that Wang Han's name was not on the contract.
(The contract with Angie will be terminated in the next chapter.)
