Chapter Ninety-One
Crow calmly stood at the helm of his divine ship, gazing down at the submerged city.
He extended his hand, channeling his mana. The Divine Contract skill silently activated, invisible to all but himself.
Waves parted around him as he descended into the ocean without resistance, his body shielded by layers of spatial and water magic.
The moment he entered the barrier protecting the city, two figures stirred.
Nerina, with flowing silver-blue hair, eyes like deep oceans, and a shimmering tail covered in iridescent scales.
Mar, darker and fiercer, her crimson and midnight black tail slicing through the water like a blade.
Both turned their gazes toward Crow. Their divine auras pressed against him like crashing waves.
Crow didn't flinch.
He activated Eye of Insight and immediately saw their weaknesses — both were curious about humans, both were tired of isolation, and both sought powerful masters unconsciously.
Crow opened his status menu and selected the hidden option unlocked through his title Reincarnated Person —
Absolute Pact.
The world around him pulsed.
Golden chains of light shot out, wrapping around Nerina and Mar in an instant.
They struggled for a moment, their divine power clashing against Crow's authority —
But he calmly unleashed the aura of his assembled Divine Rank army, flooding the sea with overwhelming pressure.
Nerina and Mar both instinctively submitted.
A second later, system messages appeared.
[Divine Rank Mermaid: Nerina has been successfully contracted!]
[Divine Rank Mermaid: Mar has been successfully contracted!]
Crow smiled faintly and opened his Pocket Dimension, summoning a massive underwater citadel to serve as their new home.
He sent Nerina and Mar inside with a simple command.
Then, without wasting time, he turned his ship toward the next hidden location he remembered —
The lair of an ancient sea beast guarding a SSSS rank artifact.
