"Beast contract type has been altered."
"Master-Servant contract changed to Equal contract."
"You have obtained command over the beast Aeloria."
"You have obtained command over the beast Berenice."
Usher stared at the two contracts floating before him. Two quasi-God-tier beasts, with broken mechanics and impossible attributes. And not only that—he could clearly see they both carried the potential to ascend into true God-tier beasts.
His voice trembled. "What… are you trying to do?"
But there was no triumph in his chest, no exhilaration at the sight. Just a crushing emptiness, as if a fire in his blood had been doused with cold water.
The man he had spent his whole life chasing was stumbling like a corpse, falling before Usher had ever managed to surpass him.
It was a result Usher could not accept—would not accept.
The broken figure walked toward the glowing portal. Finally, Usher erupted, veins bulging in his neck, eyes bloodshot.
"Stand the fuck still, you coward!"
