The signing of the Temporary Contract was, in fact, quite straightforward. The Dark God merely needed to harness his innate ability to activate it.
A sphere of light materialized before Su Chen’s eyes, followed by the Dark God’s voice, “Human, place your hand upon thentract.”
Su Chen extended his hand, and immediately a surge of information flowed into his mind—details of the Temporary Contract.
In essence, he was to provide Su Chen with certain intelligence, and in exchange, Su Chen would supply him with Energy Crystals to prevent his demise.
Should any party breach thentract—for instance, if the Dark God supplied Su Chen with false intelligence—then he would suffer a backlash and meet his demise.
The reverse held true for Su Chen as well—if he failed to deliver Energy Crystals and the Dark God perished, Su Chen's fate would be sealed.
This Temporary Contract was set to last one year.
“Hmm, the terms are acceptable,” Su Chen nodded, then promptly finalized thentract.
After Su Chen’s affirmation, the sphere split into two, entering both the Dark God and Su Chen’s bodies.
In that instant, the Dark God burst into maniacal laughter, “Hahaha, human, you are doomed!”
Su Chen remained unperturbed, retortingolly, “Are you implying that you’ve tampered with thentract?”
“Obviously! As a member of the Dark God lineage, tampering is a trifle. Had I not feared your detection, Iuld have ended you right here and now,” the Dark God boasted arrogantly.
“Is that so?” Su Chen’s lips curved into a mocking smile, his eyes reflecting thesmos, “Then why don't you test the effects of yourntract on me?”
Su Chen’smposure seeded a sliver of unease in the Dark God. After all, the powers they wielded were unbreakable, or so he believed.
“If you seek death so eagerly, I shall grant it!” the Dark God declared, triggering the backdoor he had left in thentract—a simple mechanism to turn Su Chen into his disciple.
The death of Su Chen was not his desired oume; after all, there would be dirensequences for him as well. However, turning Su Chen into a disciple meant heuld eventually let him go, potentially turning the entire human Empire into his prey!
Devouring so many humans would bolster his strength, possibly even allowing him to break through to the Constellation level—a realmuntless races in the universe aspired to reach.
However, in the next moment, the Dark God cried out in terror, “No, impossible! Howuld a human...”
Before heuld finish, his head exploded, and his body vanished, leaving behind only a massive Energy Crystal.
Simultaneously, at the fringe of human space bordering the Dark God’s territory, a mighty roar shook the surrounding star systems.
“What kind of power is this? Why has this happened?!”
Boom!
Asmic explosion ensued, dwarfing even stellar supernovae, obliterating nearby small galaxies.
Baffled, the Dark God had exploded!
The scene stunned the other Dark Gods. What in the universe had happened?
Could it be that a human Powerhouse had stealthily struck the bewildered Dark God?
The next moment, alossal figure loomed over the human frontline, its sizemparable to a small galaxy.
“Wu Yuan, show yourself!”
“What’s all this racket? Don’t you know I love to sleep in?” Lotus King Wuyuan's nonchalant voice filled the space, his figure emerging into view.
Despite their vast size disparity, there was not a trace of fear on the Lotus King's face.
As Constellation-level Powerhouses, strength wasn't determined by physical size.
“Was it you who assassinated the Qi Huo?” the massive Dark God’s voice boomed across the star systems—a testament to the terrifying might of a Constellation-level Powerhouse, whose mere voiceuld travel so far and even obliterate a small galaxy if they willed it.
“What are you babbling about? The perplexed? Ah, the noisy Dark God from last time, it finally died of anger?” The Lotus King seemed almost pleased.
The massive figure trembled slightly, its movements causing the surrounding space to distort!
The Lotus King yawned and with a casual wave, stabilized the space.
“You’re not young anymore. Don’t always overreact, will you? If I had killed the perplexed, wouldn’t you have felt it?” The Lotus King looked disdainfully at thelossal figure, “Also, stop trying to scare people with that appearance. Do you think you’re impressive? Believe it or not, Iuld strike you dead with a single blow!”
“Hmph!” He was well aware of this. His grandiose display was merely a façade.
After all, the Qi Huo died under his watch. If he appeared ignorant, how would he face the others in the Pantheon of Dark Gods?
“You’re better off investigating instead of interrogating me. Maybe you’ll find something more interesting,” The Lotus King closed his eyes again, clearly signaling that he had no interest inntinuing thenversation.
The massive figure gradually faded into the darkness of space.
The Lotus King laughed softly, “Hmph, children these days have no manners. Dying just because of a bit of anger. How silly...” ƒгeewebnovёl.com
As the Lotus King's laughter faded, he too disappeared into the void.
And somewhere far away, in a small and inspicuous star system, Su Chen put away the Energy Crystal left by the Dark God.
“It seems like this crystal is much more valuable than I thought,” he mused, pondering his next move in the grand chessboard of thesmos.
