"As you wish!"
Hearing Ian's request, the dragon soul hurriedly nodded in agreement.
He was now living under someone else's roof and his life was in the other party's hands. How could he dare to say no?
The so-called signing of a contract was actually through the fusion of the souls of those signing the contract. He would give a portion of their soul to the other party.
If one party went back on their word during the fulfillment of the contract, the other living being could crush their soul and deal a fatal blow to the traitor.
Of course, there were many ways to form a contract.
What was mentioned above was on the premise that both parties were equal and would carry out certain things together.
However, Ian was clearly in a powerful position at the moment, so he did not need to give his soul to the Dragon King. He just needed to obtain the other party's soul.
After signing the contract, the Dragon King heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the Dragon King knew that Ian might not keep his promise, it was better to live than die. As long as he could survive, he would sign the contract first!
At this moment, Ian also verified the other party's identity through the contract.
The dragon soul in front of him was originally the Red Dragon Queen. It was one of the best dragons in the human world.
Back in the human world, the Red Dragon Queen had been worshiped by many humans.
But this wasn't the mortal world, and Ian wasn't a mortal.
The once powerful Red Dragon Queen was only fit to be his mount.
Moreover, this mount had yet to recover its physical body, so it was inconvenient to even ride it.
"Yes, I have to think of a way to help it recover its body. Otherwise, it won't even be able to be a mount."
Ian rubbed his chin, considering the matter.
However, he was not in a hurry now. In any case, he would probably not go out for the time being, and he would not need a mount.
Therefore, Ian waved his hand. "Alright, now that the contract has been signed, you can return to the horn first.
"When I find an opportunity, I'll help you recover your body."
"Thank you, Master!"
The Red Dragon Queen was overjoyed.
The joy this time was real.
Although she would also live under someone else's roof after recovering her physical body, having a physical body was better than being in a soul state forever.
Ian raised his eyebrows slightly.
He did not like being called master.
It felt a little awkward.
Therefore, Ian corrected him. "Why don't you just call me Holy Son?
"Although I don't know if this identity is real or not, since the angels all think so, you can call me that for now.
"Alright, you can go back. I'm going to sleep."
"Yes, Holy Son."
The red dragon obediently returned to the horn. Ian also jumped onto the soft bed and fell asleep.
It was all the fault of the annoying God of Night Shadows. He had nothing better to do than to disturb people's dreams.
As for him casually killing a God…
Cough cough, it was just a small matter.
On the other side, in the territory of the Shadow God Clan.
The Shadow Gods had been waiting for Montauk's return. In their opinion, the strongest of the angels was only a ten-winged angel. With Montauk's strength, he should be able to come and go quite freely.
Moreover, Montauk had only gone there to investigate the movements of the angels. There shouldn't be any accidents.
However, just as everyone was harboring such optimistic thoughts, they realized that the flame representing Montauk on the altar had been extinguished.
Immediately, the group of Shadow Gods were dumbfounded.
The divine fire represented the soul of a god, and it was related to the life and death of the god.
For the gods, as long as the divine fire was not extinguished, the god would not be dead.
Now that Montauk's divine fire was suddenly extinguished, didn't that mean that Montauk's main body was dead?
This was simply ridiculous!
For a time, the few gods of the Shadow God Clan gathered together.
"What's going on? Is Montauk dead?"
"That's impossible. As a god, it's very difficult for his soul to be destroyed. Even if he encountered a High-level God, it's impossible for him to die quietly."
"That's right. The angels are just a bunch of trash. How can they easily kill a Mid-level Deity?"
The Shadow Gods found it unbelievable.
However, the truth was right in front of them. The divine fire would not lie.
After the chaos, a High-level God of the Shadow God Clan spoke.
"No matter what, Montauk's death is already set in stone, and he died at the hands of the angels. We can't let this matter rest."
The other Shadow Gods looked at each other and nodded hatefully.
The Shadow God Clan was only a branch of the God of Night's power. The entire God System only had two High-Level Deities and five Mid-Level Deities. Their overall strength was not strong.
Now that Montauk was dead, they had lost a large portion of their strength.
Coupled with the long-standing grudge between the Shadow God Clan and the angels, and now that the angels had killed Montauk, the remaining Shadow Gods were instantly enraged.
The High-level God who had just spoken was called Fordyc. He had the deepest grudge against the angels, so he couldn't wait to avenge Montauk.
But at this moment, the other High-level God, Lamir, spoke.
"Everyone, don't be rash. I'm afraid things aren't that simple."
Fordyc looked at Lamir.
"Why? Do you think the angels didn't do it?"
Lamir nodded at first, then shook his head.
"I can't be sure about this either, but according to our understanding, the strongest angel is only the ten-winged angel, Marlena.
And her strength was only comparable to a Low-Level Deity. There was a huge gap between her and Montauk.
The remaining angels were just a bunch of trash.
Therefore, my view was that even if the angels had some mysterious methods, it was impossible for them to quietly kill Montauk.
Based on this inference, the murderer might be someone else."
Although Fordyc was a little impulsive, he was not brainless.
After listening to Lamir's words, he thought for a long time and said, "What you said makes sense.
But Montauk was indeed dead, and his target was the Angels.
If the angels had not killed him, then the only possibility was that Montauk had provoked a powerful existence halfway.
But who was this existence?
Is it a demon? Is it a Main God? Or is it another race?"
Lamir also analyzed, "This is very difficult to confirm, but you and I both know that the various Main Gods actually did not get along previously. Moreover, although the angels were suppressed, the Main Gods also had the intention of letting them restrain the demons.
Perhaps our actions made the Main Gods unhappy, so they secretly took action and killed Montauk."
The two High-level Gods spoke one after another, making the simple event rather complicated.
In the end, it even involved the bargaining chip between the Main Gods and the demons.
After the remaining four Mid-level Deities heard this, they also felt that this matter was very suspicious.
If Montauk's actions really involved a scheme between the Main Gods, then things would become very serious.
They still had to investigate carefully.
Otherwise, if they angered the Main Gods, the entire Shadow God Clan would be reduced to ashes.
Just as Ian had thought, the Shadow God Clan was a side branch of the God of Night. When the time came, they couldn't expect the God of Night to stand up for them.
