"I'm sorry, but I refuse."
D was mildly surprised, not having anticipated that he would decline so decisively.
"Are you certain?" Her tone now carried a faint, nacing trace of killing intent.
Shirazawa frankly admitted, "Yes, I am certain."
The atmosphere collapsed into a brief, suffocating silence. Judging by her facial expression, Shirazawa could tell that D was secretly a bit vexed. *She wouldn't just kidnap by force in a fit of rage, would she?* Having finally reclaid his male physiology with great difficulty, he had absolutely no desire to be separated from Shiro.
After what felt like an eternity, D let out a profound, lancholy sigh. "Sigh, how heartbreaking..."
Shirazawa: "..."
"If you are unwilling to accompany to the Underworld, so be it. However, I need you to promise one thing."
Shirazawa raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
D stared back at him with a blooming smile. "Sign a contract with ."
"This..." Shirazawa frowned, hesitating. "That doesn't seem like a very good idea."
"What? You're unwilling?" D's expression shifted instantly, her eyes darkening in a split second. An invisible, crushing pressure clamped down on Shirazawa, making it hard to breathe.
"N-No, not at all," Shirazawa imdiately backpedaled. "It's just a life-binding contract, right? I'll sign, I'll sign!"
He understood perfectly well that if he refused to sign this contract, D would highly likely resort to raw force. The end result would be exactly the sa anyway. Rather than resisting pointlessly, it was better to put her mind at ease for now. He could always ticulously study how to break the shackles later down the road.
D's elegant brows relaxed as a scheming, calculating light flashed deep within her eyes. "Hmph, at least you know what's good for you."
As she spoke, a deep purple magic circle manifested between the two of them. Ripples of cosmic energy expanded outward, binding their existences tightly together.
"Rember, from this day forward, you belong to ," D declared possessively. "Betrayal is strictly forbidden. If you cross , your death is an absolute certainty."
"Heh, well, if I end up getting bullied in the future, you won't just sit back and watch, right?"
"Naturally. No one is permitted to lay a finger on what is mine." D carried herself with immaculate pride, exuding an absolute queenly aura that sohow gave Shirazawa an odd sense of security. *Huh, I guess having a supre powerhouse watching my back isn't such a bad thing after all.*
*Wait, why am I thinking like this? Am I being psychologically broken by her?*
Ignoring Shirazawa's internal monologue, D pressed her palm against his forehead, channeling a colossal, purely refined stream of raw authority into his mind. "This is the baseline theory of magical construct composition. Study it on your own ti."
"Furthermore, the raw power contained within those unhatched eggs was limited; it was barely enough to support Shiro's ascension alone. I have personally filled in the deficit on your end. Consider it a parting gift from —no need to thank ."
Shirazawa silently rolled his eyes. *Getting a massive bargain while pretending to be the victim... This woman is truly hypocritical and lodramatic.*
Seeing right through his thoughts, D let out a coldly elegant smile. "What, still unsatisfied?"
Shirazawa paused, choosing not to take the bait. Regardless of her attitude, he had genuinely felt her underlying goodwill, so he couldn't be bothered to argue.
"What kind of contract did we just forge anyway?" Shirazawa asked.
D reached out, her finger lightly tapping his forehead. "If I told you it was a marriage contract, would you believe ?" A thrilling excitent shimred within her eyes, as if she were plotting so grand, convoluted conspiracy.
Shirazawa suppressed the raging urge to slap her across the face. *Who is she trying to fool? It's far more likely to be a slave contract.*
"Then does that an I have to start calling you my dearest fiancée?"
D tilted her chin upward, her posture fiercely proud and incredibly obnoxious. "That would be your absolute honor, my dearest Aze."
*Damn it, she's actually roleplaying now.* He couldn't trust a single syllable coming out of an Evil God's mouth.
"Alright, it's ti for you to return. Rember to call whenever you have free ti." D suddenly patted his shoulder, speaking with profound gravity, "Keep up the good work~"
A massive wave of goosebumps instantly erupted across Shirazawa's skin. *Good grief, get out of here, stop flirting with !*
"Oh, right. Because you achieved Godhood, your detached clone seems structurally unable to return to your vessel. I'll be keeping him as my little toy."
"..." *Are you freaking kidding ?!*
"Don't be afraid. I will take excellent care to 'spoil' him on your behalf." With a casual wave of her hand, Shirazawa's consciousness plumted straight back into total darkness.
*Farewell, Body Mind...*
Back in front of the monitors, the little spider suddenly felt an inexplicable, ominous chill run down its spine as an unspeakable terror gripped its heart. The displays instantaneously went black, and the room's door was swept open. The young girl with long, flowing hair walked toward him, her steps light and filled with pure, ecstatic amusent.
"Little spider, ti for your punishnt to begin~"
"AAAHHH!!! NOOO—"
A blood-curdling scream shattered the night sky.
From that day onward, a sweet, profoundly adorable maid began appearing by D's side. His facial features carried a distinct resemblance to both D and Shirazawa, making him look almost like a child born from the two of them.
[LanLi: Idk if it's a he or she.]
An untrackable amount of ti trickled past.
Having fallen into a deep hibernation, Shirazawa slowly fluttered his eyes open. The very first view greeting him was a vast cocoon of pristine white spider silk. Looking down, a fully human Shiro was quietly resting against his bare chest, completely unclothed and radiating an untad, spring-like beauty.
"Ngh..." A fragile, whisper-thin murmur echoed beside his ear.
The young girl slowly opened her eyes, and their gazes locked instantly. She stared blankly for a brief mont before her pupils dilated in absolute shock. "Aze, you changed back?"
Shirazawa blinked slightly, his lips curling into a soft smile. "Yeah, I'm back to normal."
Imdiately after, Shiro registered a sudden, intense warmth pressed against her lower abdon. A brilliant crimson blush instantaneously spread across her beautiful face. She frantically tugged at the surrounding spider silk, desperately trying to shield her exposed body, only to find her efforts entirely futile. The silk around them wouldn't budge an inch. *What on earth is going on?*
Right at that mont, hearing the commotion inside, Ariel single-handedly ripped the white cocoon wide open. Blinding sunlight poured directly onto them, causing Shiro to squint and instinctively block the glare with her hands.
Consequently, a thoroughly bewildered Ariel filled their vision. The current scenario was the literal textbook definition of getting caught red-handed in bed; the awkwardness in the air was palpable.
Just as she attempted to scramble up, Shiro lost her footing and tumbled right back into Shirazawa's embrace. Only then did she realize that her lower spider chassis was completely gone, replaced instead by a pair of pristine, slender, and incredibly beautiful human legs.
"Eh?!" Shiro was utterly dumbfounded.
Shirazawa maintained a gentle smile, lightly caressing her smooth back. "It's fine. It's a normal side-effect of ascension, don't be scared." The young man's gentle voice flowed like a soothing spring through her heart, gradually calming her frantic nerves.
Sensing the activity, Gülie stepped forward to investigate, only to be forcefully shoved back by a lightning-fast Ariel.
"Is this really necessary?" Gülie muttered. "I hold absolutely no interest in the female anatomy."
Those words instantly left everyone completely dumbstruck. Shiro, thoroughly embarrassed, quickly curled into a ball inside Shirazawa's embrace, using his broad physique to shield her petite fra.
Ariel covered her face, wailing in absolute agony: "You absolute blockhead, is this a question of whether you're interested or not?! Get the hell away from here!" After thoroughly scolding Gülie, the dragon finally turned his back to them.
"You... you two hurry up and put so clothes on," Ariel urged, her face flushing crimson.
Shiro didn't dare delay either, attempting to stand up a second ti. Unsurprisingly, she wobbled again, collapsing right back onto Shirazawa's chest.
Shirazawa: *Hmm... please feel free to deliver this specific brand of fan service as much as you like.*
Having not yet acclimatized to her new biology, Shiro silently lanted that an eight-legged spider body was vastly superior; at least you wouldn't trip over your own feet while walking. Following that thought, she attempted to open her spatial storage to retrieve so garnts, only to realize with absolute horror that her skills refused to activate.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
Not only that, she registered that every single one of her skills had entirely vanished. Left with no other option, she could only look up at Shirazawa in absolute bewildernt.
Shirazawa threw his hands up helplessly. "No can do. I can't activate any skills right now either."
The two nightmare-class monsters who, prior to this, could easily wipe the floor with every living creature on the planet besides the Demon Lord and Potimas, had officially been reduced to nothing more than the world's most beautiful village girl and the most... beautiful villager.
