Hearing Bai Shuang's words, everyone perked up their ears, eager to know what the secret Bai Shuang was talking about was.
"You've experienced S-rank Instance, so you should know that our mission objectives are almost always to release the gods of this world who have been sealed or imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld."
Although those so-called gods cannot be compared with the Lord of the Netherworld, they also possess immense power.
Almost any one of them could pose a huge threat to our world if they came into contact with the real world.
Regardless of whether they are good or evil, the fact remains that they possess the power to destroy us.
Whether the Lord of the Netherworld will descend upon our world is still unknown, and even whether He can come back to life is uncertain.
However, the other deities of the Netherworld pose a real threat.
Even so, we still chose to risk releasing them.
Do you know why this is?
Bai Shuang's words aroused everyone's curiosity, because what she said made a lot of sense.
The idea that people and the gods of the Netherworld fought together against the Lord of the Netherworld was simply not convincing enough to them.
Because those gods themselves are also a huge threat.
It's really unreasonable for people to risk their lives to release them.
Bai Shuang said, "This is of course because we humans believe we can control these deities of the Netherworld, which is why we chose to release them."
"Able to control those gods?" All four of them found it unbelievable.
Although the gods of the Netherworld are not as powerful as the Lord of the Netherworld, they are still incredibly powerful beings to humankind.
How could humans possibly control those gods?
"Is this really possible? To control gods with human power?"
Bai Shuang said, "Of course we can. If we couldn't, why would we release them?"
Everyone nodded, looking at Bai Shuang expectantly.
Bai Shuang continued, "If we can release them, we can establish a contract with them, and this contract will be beneficial to us humans."
Once the contract is made, no matter how powerful a god is, he will be at our command.
The group found it unbelievable, but they also understood why the deity imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld was unwilling to be released by the players.
Nobody wants to be a puppet; after all, they are gods, and it's impossible for them to accept being driven by players.
"Actually, it's a good thing that this deity would rebel. It shows that as long as we can release Him, we can definitely make a pact with Him, and He will be unable to resist."
The real trouble comes from those gods who don't refuse our salvation.
Because this means they have a way to escape the fate of being bound by the contract, so they don't care about being released by us.
Such gods are usually very dangerous.
If we release such a deity, we will likely lose our lives.
The group was utterly shocked. They never imagined that humans could make a pact with the gods and thus command them.
This overturned their understanding.
An Qian asked incredulously, "In our world today, are there really people who have successfully made a pact with a god?"
Bai Shuang said, "Of course there are. As far as I know, the Alliance Guild has at least five such Contractors, and possibly more."
None of you are core members of the guild, so you don't know about these things.
"Now, precisely because the Alliance Guild has enough Contractors to ensure they can control the situation no matter what happens, they plan to go public with this."
Chen Zhi immediately asked, "Why did you tell us this? Aren't you afraid we'll compete with you for the chance to become Contractor?"
"Don't worry, because you can't become Contractors," Bai Shuang said confidently.
"Not everyone has the opportunity to become Contractor; I won't tell you the specific reasons."
Yang Hua said, "So, you value this Instance so much because you want to become Contractor?"
Bai Shuang said, "Yes, this is very important to me, so I don't want any accidents to happen."
"Okay, we will cooperate fully," Li Qu said with a smile.
"That's good. If you cooperate fully, I'll consider it a favor I owe you after I become Contractor."
If you ever need my help in the future, feel free to come to me.
My personal connections are still quite valuable.
However, if you have ulterior motives, don't blame me for being ruthless.
I absolutely will not allow anyone to cause me trouble at this crucial moment.
Upon hearing Bai Shuang's warning, the group couldn't help but shudder.
Now they understood why Bai Shuang had killed Ma Rui in such a cruel way—it was a warning.
A warning to them all.
None of the four dared to slack off; they had no other choice.
"Miss Bai, we'll do whatever you tell us to do."
All four expressed their willingness to cooperate unconditionally.
Because this is the wisest choice at present.
"Alright, now let's destroy the last Formation Eye."
After Bai Shuang finished speaking, she led everyone down from the roof. To destroy the last Formation Eye to the formation, they had to find the boss of this Instance.
The Instance boss is the only one who possesses that bloodline.
Bai Shuang was confident enough that the boss of this Instance was very weak, the weakest of all the S-rank Instance she had ever experienced.
There's no way a boss like that could stop her plan.
She was certain that she could become Contractor.
No one can stop it.
Shen Hao hid among the crowd of passersby, watching the players leave.
He had already overheard their conversation using his Mental Perception abilities.
He was also shocked.
He originally thought he was already quite powerful in the real world, but he never expected that there were such things Contractors.
Those are beings capable of commanding gods; although they are merely false gods, their strength is definitely not weak.
Although he had killed those false gods before, that was because they were imprisoned in the Lord of the Netherworld's cage.
He wasn't very confident even if they fought under fair conditions.
However, Shen Hao wasn't too worried, because they had no chance of succeeding.
That woman could not possibly become Contractor.
They approached Ma Rui's body, which was now riddled with holes.
He was truly riddled with holes; his body was hollowed out by insects, making him feel very light.
That woman went too far; she actually killed his prey.
Although this didn't affect his ability to complete the task, he felt very annoyed.
His prey must be someone only he can kill.
At this moment, the countless tiny insects inside Ma Rui's body had entered a dormant state.
Among these insects, one is the mother insect, and all the other insects are the offspring of her reproduction in a short period of time.
Shen Hao put the female insect into his inventory.
This thing is quite interesting. It would be even more interesting if we used Demon Power to upgrade it.
Now it's his turn to make a move.
