Vile Rabbit

Chapter 117 117: contract

A concealed figure clad in red garments pierced through the dark and cold space that located between realms, it moved at the speed limit of the universe.

The wrathful one, it had been hundreds of years since he had ventured into this darkness in

"Where did you come from?"

"What do you want?" questioned Kane, his voice laced with caution.

Apexion's eyes flashed as he penetrated the distance and gazed at the inner world inside Kane's martial sphere with fascination.

A second later, his voice rang out in a deep tone,

"Form a world inside one's body. What an interesting path… I can see tremendous potential… and I must say I am truly surprised you are a beta and not an alpha." After he finished speaking, he took a single step forward, vanished, and reappeared a few meters before Kane, inside his domain.

He locked eyes with Kane, who raised his right hand and punched at him at extreme speed the moment he appeared.

Inch by inch.

But before Kane's punch could touch him, he frowned slightly and commanded, his voice contain a hint of law.

"Halt!"

After which, shing! A terrifying force manifested around Kane, binding him.

Apexion then continued.

"As for what I am, I am an enforcer, enforcer of his wrath… Where did I come from? I came from darkness, the endless darkness located outside this realm… and as for what I want? I want to enforce his wrath. I want to conquer all there is, in his name." After which he stretched out his right index finger and gently tapped the space before him, and,

pash!

The domain around them shattered like glass.

At that moment, Kane's eyes started shining with extreme self-hatred, and,

splat!

Golden blood started spewing from his eyes and nose, for he had suffered severe damage the moment his domain shattered. He screamed in his mind,

"Move!"

urging his body to move, to break free from whatever force was binding him, but it was futile…

Apexion looked down at him, his eyes laced with dominion, After which his eyes flashed, and,

boom!

A force shot out from his eyes and slammed into Kane's body, after which,

Crack! Splat!

Web-like cracks began to appear on Kane's body, and his blood flowed like river.

'…!'

He felt that he was closer to death's door than ever before. His thoughts burned, and his memories started flashing before his eyes, from his birth to him slaying the ancestor god. And he couldn't help but question,

"Why must I crumble from a single glance?!"

Following his instincts, Apexion's voice rang out with irrefutable authority,

"BETA! I GIVE YOU TWO CHOICES: ONE, BOW AND SUBMIT TO YOUR SUPERIOR, OR TWO, SUFFER A FATE SO GRIM IT MAKES THE HATRED IN YOUR HEART SEEM LIKE NOTHING… NOW CHOOSE!"

And it was as if his words triggered something, something primal and transcendent,

Boom!

An incomprehensible will descended upon the realm. The moment it appeared, the entire realm froze, including Apexion. The will flashed between the two, then an ethereal page that shimmered with golden runes/words manifested,

[Contact between pathfinders.]

[BETA, DO YOU AGREE TO SUBMIT TO ALPHA? YES OR NO?]

Words could barely describe what Apexion's thoughts were right now, 'This will!' This will was beyond his comprehension, stronger than anything he had ever thought of; he was certain that it could annihilate him with a single thought.

If he had known that he would have summoned something like this, he never would have followed his instincts. Never.

Kane weakly glanced at the contract, and countless pieces of information appeared in his mind. The terms of the contract: if he were to agree to this contract, he would be relinquishing some of his authority over his path, becoming a subsidiary Pathfinder under the being before him.
