“Well done!”
Major General William nodded in agreement. A smile appeared on his slightly aged face. He was obviously very satisfied.
“How long will it take for it to hatch?”
“At least two to three days, at most a week. However, because it hasn’t fully awakened, the newborn ancestral spirit beast may only have the strength of a ruler-level at the beginning. But please don’t worry, its potential won’t be affected in any way. As long as there are enough resources, it will soon recover to its peak. ”
The researcher replied.
After a short pause, he said,”
“However, before it hatches, I have to choose The Beastmaster who will contract it. It’s the easiest time to form a contract when it’s just hatched, but it’s not easy to form a contract after that. ”
“Do you have any suitable candidates?”
William asked.
“Melissa, Benson, and of course, our wind god, His Excellency Anthony.”
The researcher named several names in a row.
The people he was talking about were all well-known master-tier Beastmasters. Only master-tier Beastmasters were able to control a ruler-level beast.
Signing a contract with a ruler-level familiar required an enormous amount of mental strength.
“What do you think … About card artisans?”
General William suddenly suggested.
The card artisan he was talking about was a genius who had suddenly risen to power half a year ago. He was 28 years old this year and had studied at Ivy League university, the best beast taming University in the bald eagle. He was also the first heir to the Morko family.
Half a year ago, he wasn’t very famous. His most famous identity was that of a substitute player in the team for next year’s world Championship.
It was very difficult for substitutes to appear on the field, unless they were targeted by the main team members or the ability of their familiars countered the opponent’s players.
However, when the dark spirit abyss invaded a small town in the East for the second time, he just so happened to be there, and displayed his extremely powerful familiar’s strength.
His main familiar, the night Demon Tiger, was only one step away from the Overlord rank. Its true strength had already reached the Overlord rank. The strength of the other familiars was also at the quasi-Overlord level.
He had almost single-handedly resisted the second invasion of the ghost abyss and even killed the abyss Lord who had led the invasion.
Of course, strictly speaking, this invasion could not be considered a real invasion by the abyss. At best, it could only be considered a probing attack by the advance party.
He made a name for himself in one battle, and was in the limelight for a while, becoming a national-level young Beastmaster in the bald eagle nation.
It was only then that his team members realized that he had been hiding his true strength all along.
Some people in the abyss Shatterer Alliance suspected that he had been possessed by a dark spirit. However, after a few rounds of tests, it was confirmed that his soul was indeed that of a human.
Hence, they invited him to join the abyss shattering Alliance.
Of course, William knew that the card artisan had already been possessed by a spirit.
That was because Wufu was also being controlled by the ghost in the card artisan’s body.
“A card artisan? He was indeed a good young man, but could he … Is he too young?”
The researcher hesitated.
“We have to leave more opportunities for young people, and the world Championship is about to start. If Cassio can contract another Overlord-level familiar, this year’s Championship will be in our pocket.”
Major General William said in a slightly impassioned tone.
“The World Championship … You’re right, but contracting an ancestral spirit beast requires a master level of spiritual power. Have the card artisans met that requirement?”
Major General William nodded in agreement. He then patted the researcher’s shoulder and said,”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to write down the card artisan’s name on the contract’s recommendation.”
After that, he took the elevator and left the Research Institute.
He returned to his military vehicle and looked around. After making sure that there was no one else, he dialed a number.
“Your Excellency Pope, the soul crystal of the primogenitor spirit beast is about to hatch. I’ve asked Carter (researcher) to submit your name to the list of contract candidates.”
William spoke in a respectful and slightly fearful tone.
The Pope he was referring to was, of course, Cassio, the young man who had been possessed by an abyss Lord from the dark spirit abyss.
After the abyss sovereign had taken over the body of the card artisan, it had used an ability similar to “soul snatching” to secretly control many high-level figures in the nation of bald eagle, infiltrating into all aspects of the country.
He had also secretly established a religion called the “dark spirit religion”, calling himself the Pope.
William did not know who was being controlled.
He had a premonition that the “card artisan” was playing a game of chess, a very big game.
But what did this have to do with him? He just wanted to live well.
“I see. Is there anything else?”
On the other end of the phone, a tall and thin man with golden hair said calmly.
“I’m not … There’s nothing else. ”
“You’ve done well this time. I’ll find time to help your steel-armored Eagle King improve its strength.”
The card artisan hung up the phone, his expression neither sad nor happy.
It had been half a year since it had become a “human” again, and to be honest, he liked this feeling. He had stayed in the dark abyss for too long. He liked this kind of sunshine and warm life very much.
“I really wish the abyss would come later!”
It was ironic that he, an abyss Lord, was the one who hoped that the abyss would arrive later.
But … He was just a part-time ‘soul’.
He was the vanguard sent by the Dark Soul abyss to open the abyssal passage and to pave the way for that existence.
“It’s a pity that the old man’s mission must be completed. ”
The ghost abyss had been coveting this world for a long time, and the so-called second abyssal invasion was also a “self-directed” performance by them. The purpose was to let the card artisans infiltrate the country as soon as possible to make preparations for the complete opening of the abyssal passage.
