Chapter 435 - 328: I’m Truly Sorry for Not Letting You Go All Out
The sudden change in this moment caused the pupils of everyone present to constrict tightly.
Whether it was the female pirate who thought she had already seen through Lana or the newly arrived Archer, they were rendered speechless as they witnessed Lana transforming into what seemed like a completely different person in an instant.
Even Xue Dili, who had roughly confirmed the situation before the experiment, shook his head slightly after seeing the noble young lady, who originally had a fair amount of talent, transform into her current state.
"This is the truth behind what you find strange. I don’t understand why, but anyone who signs a Heroic Spirit Contract becomes completely distorted, turning into such an arrogant, sarcastic, and caustic existence. This is not my illusion... Was that little beggar himself twisted by the contract?" Xue Dili looked at Lana, who was disdainfully looking up at him.
At this moment, the "Lana" was so arrogant that she completely disregarded Xue Dili’s attitude. Her gaze, like a poisoned silver needle, always carried three parts mockery and seven parts disgust when sweeping over everyone present.
"Can’t understand human language? Servant Demon? Or are you even worse than a dog that knows how to follow orders? Kneel!" She immediately glared furiously at Xue Dili, seemingly ready to forcibly use a command.
Unexpectedly, Xue Dili instantly appeared behind her, delivering a chop to the back of her neck. The young lady, who had transformed from an intelligent noble to an impish girl, rolled her eyes back and fainted.
Archer and the female pirate were stunned. They looked at Xue Dili, completely unable to comprehend why he could lay hands on the host.
Within the contract, there is a restriction that makes it absolutely impossible for the Servant Demon to harm the host, which is why they could only come to ask Xue Dili for help.
"Well... I made a slight modification to the content of the contract." Xue Dili casually explained, adding that the other party to Lana’s contract was not Xue Dili, but "Breeding Zeus."
Essentially, she had signed a contract with Breeding Zeus, not with Xue Dili.
So even if she underwent a drastic change in temperament, Xue Dili was still able to take action against her.
Now, the outcome was already obvious. Whether it was Xue Dili or the two Heroic Spirits, their expressions were terrifyingly gloomy.
Xue Dili silently carried Lana back to bed, knowing he needed to figure out a way to reclaim the contract with Zeus. At the same time, Xue Dili understood why even Breeding Zeus wouldn’t act against him because the foundational framework of summoning It included a contract prohibiting actions against Xue Dili.
"The reason for the anomalies in all our hosts lies within this contract?" Archer was the first to speak, despite being the last Heroic Spirit to arrive here. As an Archer, she had witnessed the entire process during the day where two boys tangled with Lana, transforming her from an educated noble young lady into this desire-filled impish girl.
Like their hosts, Lana didn’t regard Xue Dili as human the moment she completed the contract. Her gaze was like looking at a submissive slave.
That feeling, she also suddenly appeared to become as repressed as the other hosts who even considered engaging in intimate relationships with the Heroic Spirits after signing their contracts.
Even though Xue Dili thought one variable was not controlled successfully, which was that Breeding Zeus indeed filled the hosts’ minds with thoughts of "breed, breed, breed," a notion he experienced, so he wasn’t entirely sure if Lana suddenly viewing him as a slave had Breeding Zeus’s influence.
But this change was already evident. However, why was he, originally contracted with Zeus, not corrupted?
Hold on, did he really remain unchanged? Had his mind truly not been affected?
Xue Dili suddenly felt a shiver down his spine. He meticulously recalled the entire process from when he summoned Breeding Zeus to just now dissolving the contract with it, reflecting on whether there was any anomaly in his spirit and thoughts.
No! He was confident that no strange spiritual entity had invaded his mind.
After all, within his consciousness resided a sealed "Divine Xue Dili," a part specifically designed to endure information from world authority due to prolonged exposure to it, which remained unaffected, proving that Xue Dili’s mind and cognition had not been distorted.
Hold on, Xue Dili recalled a Treasure he had copied with a little general before battling the Heart Stealer.
[Pseudo-World Heart (C-Class): A shoddy replica of the Treasure "Heart of the World," tailored specifically to suppress mental possession and contamination, by luring invading souls into a false mental world, trapping them eternally.
Currently imprisoned invader: 1]
Currently, the Treasure placed in his Consciousness Space, collecting dust, showed a twisted and eerie shadow in its core, resembling a star core, which was the source of contamination, but it was trapped by this copied Treasure.
Xue Dili suddenly felt a hint of relief. This Treasure was originally borrowed by the little general from the Interstellar Corps’ collections. The original Treasure was A+ Class, kept for resisting possession by the Heart Stealer.
Xue Dili had also used the Modifier function to copy a low-quality version, only C-Class, originally intended to resist possession by the Heart Stealer, allowing at least an awareness of anomalies and time to respond to the Heart Stealer.
