Bai Shuang looked around, her eyes filled with joy; it seemed her guess was correct.
Just now, she was indeed in the domain of the Instance boss.
It was a space entirely created by the Instance boss, and everything she saw there was fake.
Now, she was still in the same spot, but the terrifying eye above her head was gone, and the surrounding destroyed buildings were now intact.
This means that she has escaped the space controlled by the BOSS.
What she's seeing now is the real thing.
Bai Shuang's eyes revealed a resentful expression. This BOSS had made her look too bad; he had been toying with her from beginning to end.
She was determined to get revenge.
"Just you wait, you better not die!"
I will become Contractor.
I will master the power of God, and then—I will crush you like an ant!
She is a very vengeful person; she will definitely seek revenge if she has a grudge.
She's not far from getting her revenge.
She looked at the large hole in the ground; this was where they had jumped down.
She didn't find the deity imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld here because she was within the BOSS's domain.
That was in another dimension, so of course she couldn't find it.
But things are different now.
Without hesitation, Bai Shuang jumped down, and this time she saw a different scene than before.
This is the real place where that god is imprisoned.
What you just saw was fake.
The underground space was an incredibly vast area, even darker than the outside, completely devoid of light because no outside light could penetrate it.
Bai Shuang sensed an aura different from the last time, equally eerie and terrifying.
Her eyesight and mental capacity were severely limited.
She knew that there must be an incredibly powerful being here.
It must be that deity trapped here by the Lord of the Netherworld.
She immediately conjured a ball of flame in the air.
Through the flames, she saw a huge shadow swaying in the air, a shadow as black as ink, which even the light of the flames could not dispel.
But the space here was too vast, and the shadow was too enormous; even the flames couldn't allow her to see its entirety.
What she saw was only the tip of the iceberg of that shadow.
The shadow shifted, and an incredibly chilling aura swept over us.
The flames in the air were extinguished immediately.
Darkness returned to the surroundings.
An incredibly powerful being has finally awakened.
Instantly, Bai Shuang felt an immense sense of oppression; she could barely breathe, and her mental energy was rapidly draining away.
That shadow is the true form of an ancient deity; as humans, we cannot approach it, nor can we look directly at it.
Even a single glance can cause a person's mental strength to drop rapidly.
Fortunately, she is Ability User known for her mental strength; otherwise, this one glance would probably have driven her insane.
She immediately took the talisman from her inventory; it was an important item for suppressing that deity.
As the talisman appeared, the oppressive feeling around them dissipated like a tide.
She gasped for breath; now, with this talisman, even a deity could not harm her.
After all, this deity has been imprisoned for far too long, and his power has been drained by this great formation for countless years. Now, his power should be almost gone.
Even so, it is still beyond human comprehension.
Once a contract is established with them, killing the boss of that Instance should be a piece of cake.
Another ball of fire appeared in the sky, this time larger than before, and she could see it more clearly.
However, she still couldn't see the full form of this deity, nor could she see the end of this underground space.
She saw countless chains binding the shadows, some of which even passed directly through them.
The shadow seemed to be struggling, but no matter what, it couldn't break free of those chains.
Even shadows can be trapped by those chains.
Looking at the shadow, Bai Shuang raised the talisman in her hand.
Those chains were formed from the power of the Lord of the Netherworld, and only the power of the Lord of the Netherworld can unlock them.
Now she is about to break these chains and release the deity.
"I will release you and save you from this dark place, and you will form a pact with me, serving my every command."
Shadows danced wildly in the air, chains clanged against each other, and the shadows seemed to be struggling violently.
Because this is not freedom, it is a new prison, and He is unwilling to leave the dark place.
Because He belongs to darkness.
But His will is unimportant; nobody cares.
The chains binding Him fell away at that moment, turning into ashes in the air. At that instant, the restraints imposed on Him by the Lord of the Netherworld completely vanished.
The shadows in the sky continued to dance wildly.
The shadows transformed into countless sharp spikes that flew towards Bai Shuang, determined to leave several transparent holes in her body.
At this moment, the power of the talisman in Bai Shuang's hand was exhausted, turning into ashes and vanishing into thin air.
She lost what she could use to suppress this shadow.
But she wasn't afraid, because she still had a last resort.
No matter how powerful the shadow may be, it cannot resist that force.
A black card appeared in her hand; it was an item used to make a pact with a deity.
As long as she is qualified to become Contractor, she can take out such an item at any time.
This contract is unilateral; it can be fulfilled regardless of whether the deity before her is willing or not.
Because this is the power belonging to that supreme being.
Even the gods before them could not withstand this power.
"In the name of the Supreme Will, you and I shall enter into a covenant. From this day forward, you shall relinquish your arrogance as a deity and submit to my command!"
The black card burned in the air, and at the same time, the shadows stopped a few meters away from Bai Shuang.
A look of joy appeared on Bai Shuang's face. Without a doubt, she had succeeded; she had become Contractor!
Now, she has gained divine power.
The shadows suddenly moved again, sweeping wildly towards Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang's expression changed. Before she could figure out what was going on, the shadow had already enveloped her.
A sharp pain shot through her entire body.
She felt as if the shadows were piercing her skin, and that they were penetrating her body through the wounds.
A bone-chilling cold spread throughout her body, chilling her blood, and the excruciating pain nearly drove her to madness.
She gritted her teeth to keep from screaming.
Until all the shadows entered her body, she felt as if her body was about to explode.
Gradually, the shadows that had entered her body began to recede from her body, easing the swelling sensation considerably.
A shadow appeared on the ground.
That was her shadow, but it didn't quite match her size. Even though the light was dim, the shadow was still very clear.
The shadow was very bulky, sometimes even deformed, and not entirely synchronized with her movements.
But this is the price of becoming Contractor. Fortunately, her price is low; it only involves a change in her shadow.
She was incredibly excited; she had finally become Contractor.
At that moment, she heard a notification from the game system.
"You have completed your mission. You may now choose to leave the Instance or remain here. You will be forcibly teleported back to the real world in half an hour."
Originally, she wanted to find the BOSS and kill him as soon as she became Contractor.
But she was also a fickle woman.
She's in a good mood now and has calmed down, realizing it's not worth arguing with a character in Instance.
There's really no need for that.
Besides, Contractors shouldn't abuse this power; it's better to go back.
She chose to leave the Instance.
Changes began to occur around her, and a moment later, she appeared in a new place.
She looked around in confusion, utterly astonished, because she hadn't left the Instance.
She looked up at the sky, where a scarlet eye was staring at her.
That eye exuded a chilling aura.
She realized that she hadn't been teleported back to the Instance because the Instance boss had pulled her back into the area, causing the teleportation to malfunction.
She's still in the Instance.
This situation is rare, but it does happen.
Given this situation, she can only wait until the teleportation point opens tomorrow before leaving the Instance.
But this is for the best, because she can now take revenge and also test her newly acquired power.
"I didn't want to cause trouble, and I was planning to be magnanimous and let you off the hook, but..."
Since that's the case, I have no reason to let you off the hook!
Feel the power of God!
