Chapter 56: Special Skill - Ring of God

Bai Luo's Catcher can forcibly convert beings weaker than him into dependents.

Theoretically, both the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress were far weaker than Bai Luo.

If Bai Luo were a bit more shameless, he could have forcibly enslaved the two sisters, making them sign all sorts of unequal treaties.

This was different from the current situation, where the Snow Empress, aside from fulfilling her duties as a dependent—such as protecting Bai Luo, fighting for him, and not betraying him—could refuse some of his unreasonable requests.

But the Ice Empress was different.

Because the situation had been so urgent, Bai Luo had, in his haste, truly captured the Ice Empress by force.

The result of this capture was that the Ice Empress had signed the harshest possible contract.

She could not resist Bai Luo; she had to obey his every command.

Even if Bai Luo demanded that the Ice Empress become his personal plaything, she would have no right to resist.

"How... how could this be? This is too despicable!"

The Ice Empress was on the verge of tears; she more or less understood now.

Bai Luo was not a human Soul Master, and he held no malice toward them, the soul beasts.

The Snow Empress's dependent oath was the best proof.

Originally, the Ice Empress had the chance to become Bai Luo's family, just like the Snow Empress, instead of her current state, where her life and death were not her own to decide.

"My apologies. It was a matter of urgency. You'll have to bear with it for a while, Ice Empress."

Bai Luo's figure appeared beside the two sisters. He didn't mind the Ice Empress's sudden attack earlier.

Soul beasts attacking humans, humans hunting soul beasts—this was daily life in the Douluo Continent; there was nothing to be said.

But now that the Ice Empress had become Bai Luo's third otherworldly dependent and had signed such a harsh contract, Bai Luo felt a bit troubled.

The contract's power was absolute; at least, the current Bai Luo had no ability to change it.

Of course, as Bai Luo continued to break through and become an Awakened Demon Lord, his Unique Skills would sublimate. At that time, he would have perfect control and could change the slave contract into a proper dependent oath.

Although a slave contract was useful, Bai Luo felt it was a huge pitfall.

Forced enslavement would create a rift between the dependent and the master.

This was not conducive to the dependent's future breakthroughs.

Fortunately, Bai Luo was not that kind of person and wouldn't do as he pleased with the Ice Empress.

"You... you're Bai Luo?"

When the Ice Empress saw Bai Luo appear, her first reaction was not to question or curse him.

The tiny, chibi Ice Empress instinctively took a step back, then, feeling it wasn't safe enough, she hid directly behind the Snow Empress. Only then did she dare to peek out with half a head, looking timidly at Bai Luo.

"Uh..."

Bai Luo knew the Ice Empress's current state.

The power of the slave contract made it impossible for the Ice Empress to defy Bai Luo.

In her eyes, Bai Luo was like a wicked slave owner holding a whip. Just standing there brought her immense pressure and fear.

Any talk of bargaining, any proud defiance, became a joke at this moment.

'I... I'm actually afraid, afraid of the man before me.'

'Ugh~ What a humiliation!'

The Ice Empress wanted to fight against the trembling in her heart, but the power of the contract made it impossible for her to have even a single thought of resisting Bai Luo.

"Alright, Bing'er, Bai Luo isn't that kind of person. He won't bully you."

"Mm, let's get along peacefully, Ice Empress."

Bai Luo gave the Ice Empress a gentle smile. He beckoned, signaling for her to come to his side.

He didn't use the power of the contract, so even if the Ice Empress was unwilling, she could refuse.

However, how could the Ice Empress submit to the fear in her heart?

She had to face the abyss!

And so, when the Ice Empress placed her small hand in Bai Luo's, she truly felt the emotions from her master—a welcome and affection that came from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps this dependent conversion had come too suddenly, and Bai Luo had been somewhat caught off guard.

But since it had happened, Bai Luo considered it a fateful connection between himself and the Ice Empress.

"Aren't you going to check out your new powers?"

Bai Luo patted the Ice Empress's soft little head and smiled. "Bing'er is much stronger now, you know."

"Eh?!"

Perhaps because the changes had come too suddenly before, the Ice Empress hadn't carefully examined them.

Now, with Bai Luo's reminder, she was shocked to discover the immense changes in herself.

She first transformed, changing from a chibi back into the form of a girl with jade-green hair.

"What... what is this?"

"Dependent contract? Cardinal World? Skills?"

"I see, so that's how it is!"

The Ice Empress was stunned by this sudden, pleasant surprise. She had never expected happiness to come so abruptly.

The surging energy within her body, called magical power.

In terms of quality, Soul Power wasn't even worthy of carrying magical power's shoes!

"Magical power is on par with the divine power of the God Realm."

"No wonder it's so strong."

The Ice Empress thought of a possibility. "Doesn't that mean that I've essentially become a god now?"

"You could think of it that way, yes."

Bai Luo looked at the Snow Empress, who was also carefully sensing the changes in her own body. "If you two were to return to the Douluo Continent now, you might not be enough to beat Tang San, but ordinary gods would definitely be no match for you!"

Not just no match—if the two sisters joined forces, they could probably go on a killing spree!

With that thought, Bai Luo opened the Ice Empress's status panel.

"Insectar, Ice Scorpion Type, huh?"

The Insectar was a race in the Cardinal World, but they weren't true insects, but rather a variant of spirits. 

Or rather, the Insectar were one of the products of fallen spirits.

Similar to them were fairies, long-eared tribes, and even goblins, which also belonged to this category.

In terms of racial classification, the Ice Empress should be a Fallen Spirit Insectar Ice Scorpion Type.

"34,000 magicules, about the same as Pon-Pon, both at the A-rank mid-tier level."

A-rank, according to magicules, was divided as follows: 10,000-30,000 was low-tier, 30,000-60,000 was mid-tier, 60,000-90,000 was high-tier, and 90,000-100,000 was peak, equivalent to a quasi-Special A (quasi-Calamity).

The Ice Empress's potential was solid, probably about the same as Ogerpon's.

She had the qualifications to evolve into a Holy Demonic Spirit.
