Shackles

It hadn't expected the energy of the Freedom Divine Realm's core to be so powerful, and this backlash made it roar in pain.

Although the backlash didn't cause it serious injury, it was certainly not minor. Cracks appeared on its body, and black blood seeped from them, emitting a pungent odor. Its aura also became erratic, and its previously powerful presence weakened considerably.

The Terror God King Fiend's face was extremely ugly, its blood-red eyes burning with furious flames. Unwilling to be defeated so easily, a mad thought surged within it, urging it to continue its attack recklessly.

It once again gathered a deeper level of power, preparing to unleash an even more powerful Annihilation Power, breaking through the psionic barrier of the Freedom Divine Realm in one fell swoop.

However, just as it was about to launch its attack, a silver light from the distant void suddenly pierced the mind of the Terror God King Fiend. This silver light was extremely fast, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, leaving no time for anyone to react.

The Terror God King Fiend felt a sharp pain in its head, as if it had been stabbed by a sharp blade. Its body trembled involuntarily, and its attack stopped.

Then, a mechanical voice echoed across the battlefield, "God King Fiend, you have overstepped your bounds." The voice was cold and mechanical, devoid of any emotion. It seemed to come from another world, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

The mechanical voice wasn't hidden from others, and everyone who heard it showed expressions of surprise. Because everyone recognized it immediately—it was the system's voice.

The system is a mysterious and powerful entity to both human gods and Abnormal God.

To some extent, it controls the rules and order of the entire Godfall Continent, and every being must abide by the contracts signed through it.

As the cold, mechanical system notification echoed across the battlefield, everyone's gaze focused on the Terror God King Fiend.

According to the system, the appearance of the Terror God King Fiend here seems to have violated a "contract" with some kind of being.

This news was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples and filling everyone's hearts with doubt and curiosity.

No wonder the Terror God King Fiend initially refused to use his own power, instead choosing to borrow the energy from the Godfall Continent Origin Core.

The Terror God King Fiend's body stiffened slightly, and a trace of panic flashed across its originally angry and distorted face, but it quickly concealed it.

Its eyes were narrowed, flashing with a complex light, as if it were pondering a countermeasure, or perhaps considering whether it could deal with both the core of the Freedom Divine Realm and the being behind the system at the same time.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Terror God King Fiend slowly raised his head, gazing up at the void, as if confronting the system that emitted the mechanical prompts.

Its voice was low and hoarse, filled with resentment and anger. "This so-called contract is nothing but Shackles you use to bind me! I refuse to accept it!"

The voice of the Terror God King Fiend was surprisingly pleasant, not in the sense that his voice itself was pleasant, but because it was no different from that of an ordinary person.

As soon as it finished speaking, the system's mechanical notification sounded again, "The contract is formed and cannot be violated. If you insist on doing so, you will be punished by the rules." This voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure, causing the Terror God King Fiend's body to tremble slightly.

Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared in the distant void, and a mysterious figure slowly emerged. This figure was shrouded in a layer of silver light, obscuring its face, but judging from the powerful aura it exuded, it was definitely an existence of extraordinary strength.

He was stronger than any of the god-kings present, and could almost be compared to the Terror God King Fiend.

The mysterious figure's voice resounded across the battlefield like a great bell, carrying an undeniable majesty, as if it were a divine Divine Oracle from ancient times, allowing everyone to clearly feel the power contained within it.

"Terror God King Fiend, don't think you can do whatever you want. When you signed the contract, you swore you would abide by the rules. But you have gone back on your word and are trying to destroy this hard-won balance."

Upon hearing these words, the Terror God King Fiend trembled slightly, its expression becoming even more distorted. Its eyes flashed with a crazed light, like a wild beast enraged. It clenched its fists, its knuckles turning white with tension, and its aura grew increasingly violent.

"Balance? This so-called balance is nothing but a means for you to suppress us! Why should I abide by this ridiculous contract? When I achieve that eternal position, I will set the rules of this world!" The Terror God King Fiend roared, his voice filled with resentment and anger.

The mysterious figure remained unmoved and calmly said, "You cannot wield the power of the Origin Core, so do not force it. However, if you continue to choose to violate the contract, the rules within the Origin Core will mercilessly choose to annihilate you, including me."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the head of the Terror God King Fiend, calming it down slightly. A hint of hesitation flashed in its eyes as it began to weigh the pros and cons in its mind.

The surrounding gods, humans, and Prince Fiend all fell silent, infected by the tense atmosphere, barely daring to breathe. They knew that the Terror God King Fiend's decision would affect the entire course of the battle. If the Terror God King Fiend continued to be obstinate, an even more brutal battle would be inevitable; but if it could heed the 'system's' advice, perhaps a catastrophe could be averted.

Yun Xi stood at the edge of the light emanating from the core of the Freedom Divine Realm, her eyes filled with contemplation, her mind constantly echoing the conversation between the mysterious figure and the Terror God King Fiend.

Upon hearing about the contract, a bold guess surfaced in her mind: Could this contract... be the one that binds the Terror God King Fiend from wielding his power within the Human God Domain?

The thought, once it surfaced, spread rapidly through her mind like a spark. She recalled the past, and suddenly everything became clear to her.

No wonder I've never seen it before in the Human God Domain. The Terror God King Fiend is so powerful that if it weren't for some kind of restriction, given its brutal nature, the Human God Domain would have been itss long ago.

Then, considering the terrifying annihilation power of the Terror God King Fiend, once this power is released, it will leave a dead silence wherever it goes, and all things will be mercilessly devoured.

However, it has never launched Realm War Human God Domain. The Terror God King Fiend wields such terrifying annihilation power, yet he has remained inactive. It is hard to believe that there is no external constraint.
