Chapter 496 - 497: Isabelle, Contract!
When Aster Grant left the Voranthos and returned to the real timeline...
His level had already advanced to the Totem Seventh Tier.
Through his and Sally’s combined efforts, all erroneous time nodes within Voranthos had been completely repaired.
All the mysteries that once troubled him, during this operation...
Were thoroughly unraveled!
Everything was due to his existence!
Whether it was the savior that everyone spoke of!
Or the legacy left to the Chronospirit Clan according to the Elf Queen!
Or even reviving the once-deceased Dragon Emperor using various Laws, allowing him to rescue several Beastbonds from the clutches of Demon God Valley.
All of this, everything...
Originated from him!
He successfully slew The Tenth Demon God, saving the entire Alternate Space.
It seemed a coincidence, but in truth...
A certainty amid a myriad of possibilities!
He stayed within Voranthos for over a millennium.
Through Voranthos and Sally’s power, he was able to glimpse all events from past to present.
As for the Demon God invasion, the destruction of the Alternate Space.
It was supposed to be an inevitable certainty.
However....
He uniquely relied on the Chronospirit Clan to find the sole method for the survival of the Alternate Space.
That would be to have the Chronospirit Clan lay out plans early, using all the Alternate Space’s power to counter the invasion of Demon Abyss.
And facts proved that his plans succeeded!
Through Voranthos, concentrating all power to seal off the passage between Demon Abyss and Alternate Space.
Even if future Demon Gods could break the seal and descend, by that time, he would have fully grown.
Up to now...
As long as he exists for another day, the Demon Gods will inevitably be unable to break the seal and descend.
Which means, the Alternate Space is once again completely safe.
It’s just...
He did not plan to stop here.
If Demon Abyss is not completely resolved, then the future is sure to see its resurgence.
Not to mention the existence of The First Demon God...
Therefore, he had already made a decision!
Once he completely gathers all Divine Positions, he would attack Demon Abyss!
Resolving all cause and effect thoroughly!
As soon as he finished deciding everything, Lazuli’s voice called him back to reality.
"Master, we are back!"
Aster Grant scanned around, seeing the familiar Human Race territory.
Upon witnessing this scene, his heart suddenly surged with a strong sense of change.
Even though within Voranthos, he tread upon this land countless times.
But none compared to the strong sense of belonging he felt at this moment.
Only in the real timeline did he feel everything was truly real!
He sensed the surrounding environment, and only then discovered...
Though he spent over a millennium in the past, the real world had only passed one day.
This is the wondrous aspect of the Time Law.
And just as Aster Grant was moved, suddenly two figures appeared not far from him.
It was Isabelle and Iris Ashford, two Pseudo-God Level powerhouses.
At this moment.
The two were utterly shocked upon seeing Aster Grant’s status.
They could clearly feel that Aster Grant’s level was merely at Totem Seventh Tier.
But the aura Aster Grant emitted...
Was in harmony with heaven and earth, yet seemed independent of time.
Visible, tangible, yet unable to be fully sensed.
The two exchanged glances, each seeing the incredulous expression in the other’s eyes.
Mind you, the two are Pseudo-God Level.
The strongest within the Alternate Space!
Yet even so, they felt as if they were mere infants before Aster Grant.
"Aster Grant, you..."
Isabelle opened her mouth, yet knew not how to continue.
The transformation in Aster Grant is indeed too great.
As if he had become a different person entirely.
Upon hearing Isabelle’s voice, Aster Grant slightly turned his head.
The Dragon Emperor had handed over the Divine Position legacy to Isabelle, but for her to fully inherit the Divine Position, she must contract with him.
And the importance of the Divine Position, naturally need not be emphasized.
Therefore, his last remaining Contract Position could only be given to Isabelle.
Thus, he would not have any slots left to contract with the Snow Maiden.
Still...
He had no other choice.
Thus, he stepped forward, standing in front of Isabelle.
Without further words, he directly said:
"Become my Beastbond!"
All around fell into silence, only the sound of the breeze passing by.
Iris Ashford stood beside, a slight surprise flashed in her eyes, yet she remained silent.
Aster Grant forming a contract with Isabelle was something she had anticipated.
After all, she could perceive the presence of a Divine Position within Isabelle.
And if Aster Grant wished to completely resolve the Demon Abyss issue, certainly a Divine Position would be indispensable.
But...
Her sight swept over the Beastbond beside Aster Grant.
She swallowed hard.
Divine Positions!
A typical Pseudo-God Level powerhouse finding one Divine Position would already be a great fortune.
But Aster Grant....
Has a full seven!
And Isabelle, upon suddenly hearing Aster Grant’s proposal for contract, stood in place, stunned.
Just a day ago, Aster Grant was unwilling to form a contract with her.
Why then, in just one day, had Aster Grant changed his mind?
At this moment, Aster Grant spoke once more:
"No need for doubt! I already know everything, and I need your strength."
"I seek to completely resolve Demon Abyss, and thus your power is essential!"
Upon hearing these words from Aster Grant, she slowly lifted her head.
Aster Grant’s eyes were filled with sincerity.
She then turned to look at the quietly standing Beastbonds beside Aster Grant, each aura more terrifying than the last.
It didn’t take long before she made her choice internally.
Whether past or present.
Never had she resisted Aster Grant, resisted becoming his Beastbond, instead...
Her heart had always longed for it!
"I..."
Isabelle took a deep breath, her exquisite face showing determination.
She stepped back half a step, kneeling slowly on one knee, bowing her head.
"Dragon Clan, Isabelle, willing to forge a contract with you, and serve you as master!"
Once these words were spoken, a pure Dragon Clan essence emerged from Isabelle’s body, proactively drifting toward Aster Grant.
This is the unique contract ceremony of the Dragon Clan.
As long as the Contract Array and Dragon Clan essence are fused, betrayal shall never be possible.
Feeling Isabelle’s resolve, Aster Grant did not hesitate and extended his right hand.
A blue Contract Array slowly merged with Isabelle’s Dragon Clan essence.
"Buzz——"
A wondrous resonance generated between the two.
Between her and Aster Grant, a clear, resilient Soul Link was rapidly established and fortified.
The contract is complete!
And at the moment of completion, Isabelle’s body trembled fiercely!
A vast golden divine light erupted from within her, shooting straight into the sky!
Amid the light, the vague shadows of countless dragons circled and roared.
Making all living beings within a hundred-mile radius feel a trembling submission from deep within their bloodline.
The pale golden dragon-shaped Divine Pattern originally on her forehead, now as if infused with infinite Life Force.
Instantly becoming brilliant and eye-catching, and the pattern turned more intricate, mysterious, flowing with pure divine light.
The Divine Position had completely awakened!
