The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 565: Contract, Mysteries Behind the Dungeons
Chapter 565: Contract, Mysteries Behind the Dungeons
"I’ve got a suggestion for you. I’m going to give you a contract that you have to sign. Your dragon race will serve the humans as vassals for 100 years before you regain your freedom. At that time, you will be allowed to go back to your own world. What do you think about that?"
The leader of the dragons looked at Henry silently. He silently considered what Henry had said. In real sense, 100 years were not that much to the dragons. But of course, the only problem here was the fact that Henry was asking them to be under the humans.
It might be true that they were just vassals, but nevertheless, they would be commanded by the humans. If it was Henry, since he had already convinced them with his own strength, they could definitely submit. But if it came to the rest of the human population, that was definitely something that they were not willing to do.
Just by agreeing to this, it implied that every single dragon that was present within this world at this moment was definitely going to be under every human in this world. It might be true that not every human could command them, but even then, they would definitely possess a high position nevertheless.
Seeing that the old dragon was hesitating, Henry continued, "I do believe that 100 years are nothing much to you dragons. And so, you should be able to pass the hundred years within no time at all. Additionally, it is definitely impossible for you to be able to go back to your own world after failing to conquer this world."
Seeing the shift in expression of the old dragon’s face, Henry continued. "But as long as you help the human race in this world develop, I will definitely ensure that you go back to your own world. I do know that you might think that it might be impossible for me to be able to take you out of this world, but this is going to be included within the contract. If the 100 years are completed, and I cannot take you back, then that implies that the human race will be under you."
The dragon was of course expecting something like that. Since they had already failed to become the dominant race within this world, it was very clear that it was impossible for them to be able to go back to their own world.
But of course, at least if they continue living within this world, that implied that they would have to live a life that was worth their pride. And now, Henry was actually promising them that he was capable of taking them back to their own world.
If it was just anybody else, the old dragon would definitely not believe it. After all, it was not as if this was going to be the first time that they were participating in the battle for domination. Instead, they had participated a few times, and each and every time that they participated, they managed to dominate that particular world and receive rewards.
Of course, the worlds that they were sent to did not simply contain only humans, but instead, other worlds did not even possess the human race at all. In fact, among all the worlds that they had conquered, this was the first world that possessed humans.
The world that the dragons originated from was extremely big. The human race in that world had developed by a good margin, but even then, not even a single time had the human race managed to win. That was the reason why the human race within that world was not capable of developing that much.
At the end of it all, as they kept on sending people into other worlds so that they could conquer them, those that went there, as long as they failed to conquer that particular world, they would definitely remain within it, or would be killed by the other races that they would be competing against.
Leaving all of that aside, just considering the fact that Henry was a native of this world, and he was capable of possessing the strength that was above that of the dragons and the other races who had descended into this world, it was clear that he definitely possessed a secret.
Additionally, he was capable of utilizing the transformation crystal quite easily. It was not as if they had not tried using the other races to transform them into dragons, but it was impossible. The only thing that could happen was for humans to transform into dragons.
As for the matter of transforming dragons into humans, they did not try that. Simply because they did not want to risk anything, considering that the moment that the dragon became a human and could no longer become a dragon, they would definitely suffer a loss.
"Okay. I agree. We can go ahead and sign the contract. But remember one thing, you have to fulfill what you have promised. After 100 years, you should take us back to our own world." The old dragon stated after a moment of contemplation.
Henry had already anticipated that. Of course, the matter of him taking the dragons back to their own world was something quite simple. After all, after he completed the battle for domination, the barrier that was around this world would be broken.
At that time, they would be capable of improving their strength. As long as he went beyond the divine rank, he would definitely be able to leave this world freely. Of course, he could also leave this world since he was already in the divine rank, but even then, the moment that he went out of this world, he would definitely be entering a bigger ground.
With just the power of a divine rank, he was definitely going to be considered as a weakling, at the very bottom of the food chain. As for those that had not even reached the divine rank, they were definitely not even within the food chain at all.
Taking the entire dragon race away from this world was quite simple. With the presence of the system, it was going to be quite easy for him to be able to do that. After all, the ability of the system to be able to transform items was something that was going to be utilized in order to be able to create a vessel that was going to be able to transport the entire dragon race.
As for the matter of the power of the human race decreasing after the dragons leaving this world, that was not something that Henry was worried about. In any case, by the time that 100 years came by, he believed that the humans in this world would have already developed to a huge extent with his assistance.
The two of them went ahead and signed the contract that Henry had gotten from the system store. With the contract already signed, that implied that the dragons had finally submitted to the humans.
The moment that this issue was completed, Henry realized that he had actually completed the mission for the human race, the battle for domination. But of course, before the mission was declared completed, he would have to stabilize his power and influence all over the world first.
That was something that was going to take some time, but even then, it was definitely just a matter of time before he completed it. And after completing it, he was definitely going to plan to venture out of this world.
Before venturing out of this world, he definitely had to make enough preparations. It was not only for himself, but instead, it was also for the people that he was going to leave behind in this world. That definitely included his parents and little brother.
The matter of the dragons being subdued by the humans was something that spread all over the continent, and all the humans who had previously been dragons could not help but be excited about the choice that they had made.
In any case, Henry did not think much about the issue. Instead, he went ahead and looked for Olivia and Alicia. The two of them were quite good at management, and so, he decided to leave the matter of controlling the other races to the two of them.
The matter between Henry and Alicia was yet to be solved, but even then, Henry did not think much about it. But of course, the same could not be said about Alicia.
In any case, with the two of them handling the matter, stabilizing the influence of the Domination Star territory in the world was quite easy. Of course, even with their ability, they definitely required time to be able to complete this matter.
And while he left the two ladies to deal with the issue, Henry decided to study the matter that was related to the dungeons in this world. He had realized that Akila nation that was located on the Blazing continent was the one that possessed the majority of the dungeons within the world.
It was definitely something that was beyond explanation at this moment, and Henry did not believe that it was just that simple. There had to be something, at least a reason why a single nation possessed many dungeons as compared to an entire continent.
To investigate this issue, Henry had no choice but to visit the dungeons themselves. The moment that he got into the dungeon, he was transported to the level that belonged to the divine rank.
This time, he did not come here to kill the monsters. And the moment that the monsters saw him, they immediately ran away due to the aura that was being released by Henry.
Henry began moving towards a certain direction, towards the very core of the dungeon. He believed that just like the ruins that they had encountered before, this dungeon was also possessing mysteries of its own.
