“Don’t tell me…”Rhys stared at Charlotte.“The divinity in my blood…”“…or even my body…”“…is the reason I’ve been summoning Divine Beasts this entire time?”Charlotte smiled.“Most likely.”She pointed back at the summoning circle she had drawn.“In the modern version of the summoning circle, the Vessel, Bait, and Catalyst have all been merged into a single component.”“That means the circle automatically treats everything placed inside it as part of the sacrifice.”She tapped the center of the circle.“And that naturally includes you.”Rhys blinked.“My body?”Charlotte nodded.“Exactly.”“Your body is standing inside the summoning circle.”“So your blood…”“Your Mana…”“Even the divinity within you…”“All of it is unconsciously recognized as part of the sacrifice.”She smiled again.“In other words…”“Your blood has been acting as the catalyst this entire time.”“You simply never realized it.”She shrugged.“Although, considering the result…”“I’d say you’ve been quite fortunate.

After several failed attempts and countless adjustments, Rhys finally managed to create the contract he had been aiming for.A translucent prompt appeared before him.[In exchange for 3,000 Mana, Party A, Rhys, will be able to access Party B, Fairy Queen Charlotte’s detailed familiar record for five minutes.]Rhys let out a satisfied smile.“So it finally worked.”Without any hesitation, he paid the price using six magazines, completing the contract immediately.“Hehehe. We finally succeeded.” Charlotte clapped her hands together, clearly delighted. “Now let’s see what you’ve found. Unfortunately, I can’t observe it directly, so you’ll have to let me look through your eyes.”She smiled before adding,“That won’t be difficult.”“I’ll simply use my illusion.”“It’ll recreate whatever you’re seeing and project it into reality.”She gave him a reassuring look.“It may feel a little strange since I’ll be synchronizing with your perception, but try to bear with it.”Rhys nodded.The moment

The next status panel appeared before them.⸻Name: AnubisLevel: 219 / 976Mana: 12,000 / 75,187,900Absorption Rate: 23%Skill Unlock: 19%Race: JackalQuality: Good (Mid) → Perfect (High)Progress: 47%Talent: 57%Potential: 89%Growth: 40%⸻After comparing it with Gaelion’s, everyone reached the same conclusion.The results were nearly identical.There was no doubt anymore.The records confirmed that Divine Beasts were not limited to the strength they possessed in their original myths. There was another stage waiting beyond the legends they already knew.The first person to break the silence was Gaelion.He glared at Anubis.“Why do you have more Mana than me?”Anubis lifted his chin proudly.“Hmph.”“Bow before me, peasant.”Gaelion’s eye twitched.“You…”“You motherfucker!”“Fight me!”“I seriously doubt you can beat me!”Anubis remained completely calm.“And look at you.”“The only thing you’ve learned from our Beast Tamer is how to curse.”“You should learn from the rest of h

“What did you just say?!”Charlotte stared at Rhys in disbelief.Her breathing became uneven for a moment, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.“No… wait.”She took a deep breath and organized her thoughts.“You can already rewrite the world’s records through Soul Contract.”“If that’s true…”“Then changing or expanding someone’s skill set shouldn’t be impossible.”She rubbed her forehead.“I shouldn’t be this surprised.”Rhys nodded.“There’s something else that’s been bothering me.”Charlotte immediately looked up.“What is it?”Rhys crossed his arms.“I think Soul Contract can still evolve.”He paused before continuing.“It has already evolved once.”“After that, every contract I make became much more efficient.”“So I’m wondering…”“If I reach another threshold…”“Maybe it’ll evolve again.”Charlotte’s pupils shrank.An innate ability…Evolving?She had never even considered such a possibility.Without saying another word, she hurried to her desk, grabbed a notebook, and b

After several failed attempts and countless revisions to the wording, they finally arrived at a contract that looked promising.[In exchange for 1,000 Mana, Party A, Rhys, will be able to view Party B, Familiar Anubis’ skill list in complete detail for five minutes.]The moment it was accepted, a long list of skills appeared before Rhys.Charlotte immediately projected everything through her illusion so everyone else could see it as well.Rhys quickly scanned the list.[Skills][Call of Guardians][Ankh of Reincarnation: Immortality Authority (Low)][Magical Bandages]……The list went on for quite a while.Many of the abilities were familiar to Rhys, while others were completely new to him.He skipped over them one after another until his eyes landed on the one they had been searching for.[Scale of Justice: Judgment Authority (Low)]Just like the status window, this skill could be expanded into a more detailed record.Since they only had five minutes, Rhys ignored everything else an
