Liye didn’t like too much the option of transforming Aiwai because there had been a mutual opposition between beasts and the other lifeforms in the universe and there weren’t a lot of experts like Liye who didn’t mind about it.

Liye had several divine beasts as disciples in other worlds, so he was well aware of the problems Aiwai would face if she chose to transform.

The reason was mainly that the only beasts that could think like the other species were divine beasts or beasts that had turned into Origin Beasts, which made the other species to think lowly of them.

Thus, he felt that if Aiwai chose to transform into a beast, that would pose problems for her in the future as she would be considered a beast.

Due to their beastly parts, normal half-beasts were already looked down by some humans, but except for some people on the Zuatania Republic, they didn’t want to the extreme of hunt them unless they invade their territory. However, it wasn’t weird that humans went hunting beasts for fun, which was an even worse treatment than the one that the half-beasts received.

Of course, the common people in their continent couldn’t pose a danger to Aiwai due to her level of power, but that discrimination as even higher in the outside and that was Liye’s worry.

For the most extremist experts that hated beasts, there was a huge difference between having a divine beast bloodline and being a real divine beast.

Those who had a divine beast bloodline were considered to be using the beasts on their benefit and was considered the same that having a contracted beast as a helper for battle, but real divine beasts were considered inferior beings by those extremists.

In fact, the way those people think about beasts wasn’t that much different than the way of thought of the True Empire regarding everyone who wasn’t part of the True Empire.

Of course, there were also a lot of divine beasts who hated the other species and would kill anyone who neared to them. The hatred was mutual, but if those divine beasts that harbored hatred towards other species were to discover that another divine beast had formed a Soul Contract, all the beasts would target that divine beast as a traitor and wouldn’t spare any effort to hunt and kill the one who formed a Soul Contract.

Thus, if Aiwai turned into a divine beast to form a Soul Contract, she would be looked down by both sides, and her only choice would be met only with people like Liye who didn’t mind about those topics or try to hide her identity.

Liye explained all of that to Aiwai because he didn’t want her to regret after taking her decision.

“Master, the Soul Contract will be with you or Yale.”

Aiwai had heard of Soul Contracts, but she didn’t know very well how they worked and the situation of Yale and Liye was quite abnormal.

“The Soul Contract binds the soul, and there isn’t any difference between my soul and Yale’s as we are technically the same person, so it doesn’t matter, you will be forming the contract with both of us.”

Liye stopped a moment before continuing.

“At least that is what I want to say, but our situation is exceptional, and it won’t be that easy.”

Aiwai looked towards Liye with doubtful eyes because she didn’t understand the meaning of Liye’s words.

“Due to some circumstances, it is impossible for Yale to have a contracted beast that surpasses his own level, so it would be impossible for you to be his contracted beast. In case you make a contract with him, you will die on the spot.”

Aiwai didn’t know about the Origin Path, or the consequences of a beast forming a Soul Contract with someone who had the Origin Path, and Liye didn’t plan to explain it to her as that was classified information. However, the Origin Path also added a problematic condition as the Fake Origin Path that Aiwai would obtain after making the contract would be unable to support her power, and she would die. Thus, she wouldn’t be able to form a contract with Yale without dying on the process.

“If I need to wait until Yale turns stronger than me, will there still be a reason for this? It is now when I am worried about him; I fear that he dies before turning stronger than me.”

Aiwai would die for Yale even if Yale turned stronger than her, but she believed that Yale needed her the most at that moment when he was still weak.

“There is no need to wait; I will exploit a loophole. Usually, a contracted beast would die if the person who had the contract with it also dies, but there is a special situation with reincarnations for those who trained the Life Law and the Death Law due to our ability to reincarnate willingly. In those cases, the contracted beast wouldn’t die and would continue to follow its master after the master reincarnated successfully. I am already dead, so even if you make a contract with me, the contract will automatically link to Yale which would be a problem right now.”

Liye’s current situation was far too abnormal as Origin Link was a Forbidden Skill, something that shouldn’t exist, and it was thanks to that that he could find a loophole on the Soul Contracts when affected a reincarnated expert.

“The skill I am using to be in this state is a special one, so I will use some of its power to block the contract and avoiding it to link to Yale until he turns strong enough to be able to have the contract with you without any repercussion. Thus, you will be a contracted divine beast without master like if you would be waiting for me to reincarnate despite my reincarnation already existing. Well, I doubt that Yale will need too much time before surpassing your level and your contract turns into a normal one.”

Doing that would be at least as expensive as it had been using the world authority previously and would reduce Liye’s time a lot, but Liye was ready to make that sacrifice for Aiwai if she was decided to sacrifice herself turning into a divine beast to help Yale.

“Master, Wyba is Yale’s twin or a contracted divine beast?”

After hearing all the explanation of Liye and seeing Wyba in her beast form, Aiwai couldn’t avoid starting to doubt about the relationship between Yale and Wyba.

“Wyba was a normal beast that formed a Soul Contract with Yale. Wyba’s bloodline improved later on thanks to Yale, and I helped her to become a divine beast when I appeared previously. However, Yale truly considers Wyba as his little sister; you shouldn’t doubt about that.”

Liye didn’t plan to lie to Aiwai about that point because she would be able to sense the link of Wyba with Yale after becoming Liye’s divine beast because Wyba was linked to Yale’s soul which was the same as Liye. That was the reason for Wyba hugging Liye at the same moment she saw him; the soul link couldn’t be falsified, so as long as the soul link was there, Wyba wouldn’t doubt about Yale’s identity.

“I see. Regardless of anything else, Yale and Wyba are still my little brother and my little sister, since my little sister is a divine beast who formed a soul contract with Yale, there is no reason for me for not doing the same.”

Liye stopped petting Wyba’s head when he heard Aiwai’s decision. Wyba looked towards Liye thinking about why he stopped petting her.

“Sorry, Wyba, but you need to sleep for a while.”

After Wyba heard those words, she fell asleep immediately.

“It is better for her to don’t see anything. The process will be extremely painful for you and I can’t lose the concentration, or you will die. If she were to interrupt us due to being worried about you, you would be doomed.”

Aiwai nodded her head because she also didn’t want Wyba seeing her while suffering pain. Moreover, she knew that with Wyba’s personality, she would try to help her and Liye could be easily distracted.

“Take off your clothes; they will only disturb me.”

Transforming a half-beast with divine bloodline into a real divine beast was something extremely difficult even for Liye, and the clothing would just lower his accuracy which would lead to a disaster.

Aiwai obeyed immediately as Liye had already seen her before and he was the one who asked her to put on the clothes before.

“I will start now. Once I start, I won’t be able to stop, or you will die. Are you sure that you want to proceed? This is your last chance to change your opinion.”

Liye wasn’t able to transform a divine beast into a real human or a half-beast, at most he could help them to take human form as he did with Wyba, so there would be no way for Aiwai to change back later on. Moreover, Liye would expend a lot only in that transformation; he couldn’t afford a second one as he still needed to deal with the True Empire.

“I am sure.”

Liye nodded his head and put his mand on Aiwai’s back before starting the transformation process.

Aiwai instantly cried in pain and fortunately it was impossible for anyone else to hear her because her cries would have attracted a lot of attention.
