"Rin's Capturer can forcibly transform beings weaker than him into Dependents."
Theoretically, the Snow Empress, like the Ice Empress, was far weaker than Rin.
If Rin were a bit more shameless, he could have completely enslaved the two sisters, forcing them to sign various unequal treaties.
Instead of the current situation, where the Snow Empress, aside from fulfilling her duties as a Dependent such as protecting Rin, fighting for Rin, and not betraying Rin, could refuse some of Rin's unreasonable demands.
But the Ice Empress was different.
Because the situation at the time was too urgent, Rin, in his haste, had genuinely captured the Ice Empress by force.
The result of this capture was that the Ice Empress signed the most stringent contract.
Unable to resist Rin, she must obey all of his commands.
"This, how could this be, isn't this too despicable?"
The Ice Empress was on the verge of tears; she had pretty much understood.
Rin was not a human Soul Master, and he bore no ill will toward Soul Beasts.
The Snow Empress's Dependent's Vow was the best proof.
"Sorry, circumstances call for immediate action. You'll have to endure for a while, Ice Empress."
Rin's figure appeared beside the two sisters. He didn't mind the Ice Empress's sudden attack.
Soul Beasts attacking humans and humans hunting Soul Beasts was a daily occurrence on the Soul Land Continent, nothing to dwell on.
It was just that the Ice Empress had now become Rin's third Otherworld Dependent and had signed such a harsh contract, which made Rin a bit awkward.
The validity of the contract was absolute. At least, the current Rin did not yet have the ability to change it.
Of course, as Rin continuously broke through and achieved the awakening of a Demon Lord, at that time, his Unique Skill would sublimate, and Rin would be able to perfectly control it, then convert the Servant Contract into a proper Dependent's Vow.
Although the Servant Contract was useful, Rin felt it was a huge pitfall.
Forced servitude would create rifts between the Dependent and the Master.
This was not conducive to the Dependent's subsequent breakthroughs.
Fortunately, Rin was not that kind of person and would not do as he pleased with the Ice Empress.
"You, you are Rin?"
When the Ice Empress saw Rin appear, her first reaction was not to question or curse.
The small, chibi Ice Empress instinctively took a step back, then felt it wasn't safe enough, so she directly hid behind the Snow Empress. Only then did she dare to peek out half her head, looking at Rin timidly.
"Uh…"
Rin knew the Ice Empress's current state.
The power of the Servant Contract made it impossible for the Ice Empress to defy Rin.
In her eyes, Rin was like an evil slave owner holding a whip. Just standing there would bring her immense pressure and fear.
All thoughts of bargaining or proud defiance became a joke at this moment.
'I, I'm actually scared, scared of this guy in front of me.'
'What humiliation!'
The Ice Empress wanted to fight against the tremor in her heart, but the power of the contract prevented her from even conceiving the slightest thought of resisting Rin.
"Alright Rin isn't like that. He won't bully you."
"Mm, let's get along well, Ice Empress."
Rin smiled gently at the Ice Empress. He waved his hand, signaling the Ice Empress to come to his side.
He did not use the power of the contract, so even if the Ice Empress was unwilling, she could refuse.
However, how could the Ice Empress succumb to the fear in her heart?
She would face the abyss.
So, when the Ice Empress clasped her small hand with Rin's, she truly felt the emotions from her master: a heartfelt welcome and affection.
Perhaps this Dependent transformation came too suddenly, catching Rin somewhat off guard.
But since it had happened, Rin regarded it as his destiny with the Ice Empress.
"Don't you want to see your newly acquired power?"
Rin stroked the Ice Empress's soft little head and laughed. "You're much stronger now than before, you know."
"Eh?!"
Perhaps the previous changes came too suddenly, and the Ice Empress hadn't carefully examined them.
Now, after Rin's reminder, the Ice Empress suddenly discovered her enormous changes.
She first transformed, changing from her chibi scorpion form back to the appearance of a young girl with emerald green hair.
"This, what's going on?"
"So that's it, that's how it is!"
The Ice Empress was shocked by this sudden pleasant surprise; she had never imagined that happiness would arrive so abruptly.
The surging energy within her body was called magicules.
In terms of quality, Soul Power wasn't even fit to carry magicules' shoes.
"Magicules, corresponds to the Spiritual Power."
"No wonder it's so strong."
The Ice Empress thought of a possibility. "Then doesn't that mean I'm essentially a god now?"
"Thinking that way isn't wrong."
Rin looked at the Snow Empress, who was also carefully sensing her own changes. "If you two return to the Soul Land Continent again, you might not be enough to fight Tang San, but ordinary gods are definitely no match for you!"
Not just no match. If the two sisters joined forces, they might just go on a rampage.
Thinking this, Rin opened the Ice Empress's attribute panel.

"Insectoid Magic Beast, Ice Scorpion, huh?"
The Insectoid Race is a race in the Cardinal World, but they are not true insects. Rather, they are a variant of Cryptids.
Or rather, the Insectoid Race is one of the products of Cryptids' degradation.
"34,000 magicules, almost the same as Ogerpon, both reaching A-Rank Mid-tier.
According to magicules, A-Rank is 10,000-30,000 for beginner, 30,000-60,000 for mid-tier, 60,000-90,000 for high-tier, and 90,000-100,000 for peak, which is equivalent to quasi-Special A (quasi-Calamity).
Ice Empress's potential should be similar to Ogerpon's.
(To be continued.)
