Crack! A large fissure was torn open on the Crystalline Stone Man's chest from the constriction!
At this, the Crystalline Stone Man was finally in a panic.
Now, it was being held mid-air by enormous trees. Its feet had no contact with the ground, so it couldn't draw power from the earth, and thus, couldn't recover from its injuries!
Uchiha Madara saw that the Crystalline Stone Man was merely panicking and not showing any signs of submission, so she signaled the Wood Dragons to add more force.
Creeeak! Snap! The two Wood Dragons obediently tightened their grip again.
Creeeeak! Oh no, now the massive fissure on its chest had already extended to its abdomen!
The Crystalline Stone Man became even more flustered, flailing its hands and feet in the air, but with no point of leverage, how could it break free? It was impossible.
The two Wood Dragons continued to constrict with force, and the cracks on the Crystalline Stone Man's body had now extended to its thighs!
If this continued, the Crystalline Stone Man would soon be torn into four or five pieces; its fate would be to die without a complete corpse!
Panic spread through the Crystalline Stone Man's mind. It shrieked in distress, crying out loudly as it begged for mercy.
Although it was merely beast-like whimpers, the plea for mercy was very obvious within them. Uchiha Madara naturally understood its meaning.
She waved her hand, signaling the two Wood Dragons to cease and stop adding force, though they didn't loosen their grip either.
Standing on a tree branch, Uchiha Madara looked down from above and asked the Crystalline Stone Man:
"How about it? Finally admitting defeat? Willing to submit to me?"
The Crystalline Stone Man looked at Uchiha Madara in terror, nodding desperately.
Uchiha Madara was very satisfied.
"Not bad, not bad. Willing to submit is good. However, even if you're feigning submission, it doesn't matter. Alright, let me put a mark on your soul and your body. That way, you'll be my Summoning Beast!"
Jumping onto the Crystalline Stone Man's head, Uchiha Madara reached out and covered its forehead. Potent spiritual power entered the Crystalline Stone Man's soul, and Yin-Yang Release entered the Crystalline Stone Man's body.
Within a few breaths, Uchiha Madara had imprinted her spiritual mark on the Crystalline Stone Man's soul and stamped a cursed seal on its body.
In addition, Uchiha Madara also attached the sealing technique of Summoning Jutsu to it. From now on, the Crystalline Stone Man officially became Uchiha Madara's Summoning Beast!
This was not difficult for Uchiha Madara. She knew the Flying Thunder God, Yin-Yang Release, and sealing arrays. Sealing a Summoning Jutsu was no challenge at all.
The Crystalline Stone Man felt a wave of discomfort. Standing on its head, Uchiha Madara "kindly" explained to it:
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything excessive to you just now. It's just that... I put my spiritual mark on your soul and a cursed seal on your body, that's all!"
"Hm? Don't understand? Alright, it means your life is mine now. I can make you die with just a thought!"
This time, Uchiha Madara had made it clear enough. The Crystalline Stone Man instantly looked as if it had been struck by lightning.
Its natural beastly instincts told it that Uchiha Madara was telling the truth, and its life was truly in her hands!
Satisfied, Uchiha Madara clapped her hands, then jumped to the ground, releasing the Wood Release and Wood Dragons that were constricting it.
With a rumble, the ground trembled, and the Crystalline Stone Man fell to the ground.
Finally back on the ground, the Crystalline Stone Man naturally absorbed power from the earth to recover from its injuries.
However, what Uchiha Madara hadn't expected was that such a massive Crystalline Stone Man, after everything was done, actually sat down in front of her, covered its face, and began to wail, and its cries were unusually loud!
Can you imagine what it feels like to have such a huge, ugly monster sitting in front of you crying? It was quite awkward!
A vein throbbed on her forehead. Uchiha Madara walked over, patted its basalt body, and said:
"Hey! Big oaf! Why so sad?"
"Waaah... waaaah..." (Sobbing...)
"What for?"
"Waaah! Waaah! Waaah..." (It's not you who's been enslaved! From now on, I have no freedom! What am I going to do...?)
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Uchiha Madara's forehead. She deeply felt the difference in values between their two worlds.
"Please! I'm not enslaving you! I just want you to be my fighter! Normally, I won't interfere with your freedom. You can go wherever you want. At critical moments, I will summon you, and you must fight for your life!"
"Huh? (Really?)"
"Really!"
"Waaah? (Not enslaving me?)"
"Not enslaving you!"
"Waaah, waaaah! Waaah? (Then why did you put all those things on me, threatening my life?)"
Uchiha Madara could no longer hold back. She flew up and kicked the Crystalline Stone Man over!
"Idiot! Am I not just afraid you'll run away? Enough! You just need to know that your life is in my hands, and when I need you to fight, I'll summon you instantly! That's it! Behave yourself!"
The Crystalline Stone Man crawled up from the ground and sat down, facing the roaring Uchiha Madara. It timidly extended two fingers in front of itself, poking and prodding as if pleading for forgiveness. However, even Uchiha Madara felt a shiver.
You, such a big oaf, putting on such an act for whom? This wasn't scary; it was just a ridiculous attempt at being cute.
Helplessly, Uchiha Madara waved her hand and said:
"Alright, you stay here for now. I'll find you if I need anything! Honestly, the next Summoning Beast, I definitely need to find one with higher intelligence!"
Muttering discontentedly like this, Uchiha Madara flew up and left, continuing her search for a suitable Summoning Beast.
In the time that followed, Uchiha Madara continued to search for a desirable Summoning Beast, occasionally summoning the Crystalline Stone Man during breaks to "bond" with it.
On the second day, Uchiha Madara excitedly found another favored dangerous species.
To be honest, even Uchiha Madara hadn't expected there to be such a thing among dangerous species.
It was a huge, round, and incredibly bouncy giant... a Slime!
