this decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a new choice appeared before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be... can I really survive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon in front of her seemed terrifying, but could it be different from what was recorded in her family, just like humans?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna’s mind wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the records in her family constantly warned the younger generation never to trust demons or devils and not to have any illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Hanna’s heart truly began to waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna hesitated for a long time, and finally, she looked at Lis and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know what exactly you want to do...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am willing to give up everything, as long as you can give me a promise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna paused, glanced at Theodore and Turner, who stood not far away with worried looks, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what you want to do, I hope you won’t harm Uncle Theodore and Turner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you agree, you can take away my body, my flesh, my soul!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what contract you want to make with me, I agree, hoping you can fulfill this small request of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at the little girl in front of him with interest and turned to look at Theodore and Turner over there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that his current aura could shock many people, and although Hanna appeared very frightened, she was still able to make a request to Lis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Hanna’s somewhat anxious request, Lis nodded slightly, a barely noticeable smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That smile was like a flash of light in the dark abyss, making it hard to guess his true thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Lis slowly raised his hand, a flash of ghostly light in his deep eyes, as the abyss power began to gather at his slender fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That power was like a black mist, continuously swirling and twisting, gradually forming twisted black characters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These characters seemed to have a life of their own, dancing freely in the air, interweaving densely until they formed a black contract exuding an evil aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This contract was like an invisible black hole, constantly devouring the surrounding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Theodore widened his eyes, gazing in horror at this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to want to say something, perhaps to stop this dangerous occurrence or to warn Hanna of the dangers within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lis merely cast a faint glance over, and that gaze was like a cold blade, instantly piercing through Theodore’s soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore felt the blood flowing in his body instantly freezing, as if tightly bound by an invisible power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The open mouth halted suddenly, the throat seeming to be blocked by something, unable to utter a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only watch helplessly as the black contract gradually took shape, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After successfully subduing Theodore, Lis no longer concerned himself with that situation, fully focusing his attention on the contract and Hanna in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gently held the black contract with both hands, then flicked his wrist, waving it into Hanna’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contract traced an arc through the air, stopping in front of Hanna with an inexplicable chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of hesitation and fear flashed in Hanna’s eyes, the evil aura emanating from the black contract instinctively filling her with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her body trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails almost embedding into her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the thoughts in her mind, like burning fire, compelled her to overcome her inner fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna took a deep breath, and slowly extended her shaking hand toward the demon contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her fingers touched the contract, a bone-chilling sensation spread throughout her body, as if countless tiny needles were pricking her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she gritted her teeth, withstanding the discomfort, and used a dagger to make a small cut on her fingertip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood, like red pearls, flowed from the wound, dripping onto the last blank space of the contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With trembling fingers, she dipped in the blood and signed her name stroke by stroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each stroke seemed to exhaust all her strength, and after signing, her forehead was already covered with a fine sheen of sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the last stroke, the demon contract suddenly ignited from out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames were not ordinary red but a strange black, like flames from the abyss, exuding a suffocating aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames burned ever more vigorously, enveloping the entire contract, as if to engulf everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna watched this scene with some trepidation, her body involuntarily took a few steps back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the flames gradually extinguished and everything returned to calm, both Lis and Hanna felt a new connection between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a subtle and mysterious connection, as if an invisible thread linked them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna could feel that a new strength seemed to have been injected into her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That strength, like a trickling stream, flowed gently within her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although still weak, it made her feel incredibly complete and powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the contract, Lis tilted his head, once again revealing that gentle smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers lightly, the crisp sound reverberating in the silent space, as if it were the bell of destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-robed people he had subdued and immobilized suddenly let out painful cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless blood thorns, like crystal stones, pierced through their bodies, those blood thorns shimmering with eerie light, like blades from hell, instantly taking their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies twisted and shattered under the piercing of the blood thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a shattering sound, all the black-robed people’s bodies burst into powder with the breaking of the blood thorns, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a mess on the ground and the air filled with a bloody stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanna watched this scene, her heart a mix of emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was both relieved to be free from the threat of these black-robed people and fearful of the terrifying power Lis exhibited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what fate the contract she signed with Lis would lead her to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, with an indifferent expression, casually waved a hand, the gesture light yet carrying an undeniable authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, an invisible force, like a surging wave, swept out, erasing all traces left by the black-robed people in a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the bloodstains left on the ground, the fragments of torn clothes, or the bloody smell lingering in the air, all vanished completely, as if the bloody slaughter had never occurred here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having done all this, Lis’s lips curled upward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then strode forward, gently grasping Hanna’s wrist with his long and powerful hand, leading her toward Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the restraints on Theodore had already been lifted, his body regained the ability to move, but he did not immediately speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his body tense, eyes fixed on Lis, full of vigilance and caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wounded beast facing a mighty enemy, Theodore was ready to fight to the death at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at this moment, he dared not act rashly, able only to express his dissatisfaction and resistance through his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, the first contract is completed, isn’t it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looked at Theodore and Turner, smiling as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore said solemnly, then looked at Hanna:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Hanna she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, I’m not very interested in any flesh or souls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis said with a smile, as if a kindly elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you treat me to a meal for the remaining price?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A meal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore and Hanna both froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t expected Lis to make such a request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, they felt as if the Lis before them was not some Abyss Demon but a young human warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the abyss demon aura on him had not disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t look at me like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shook his head with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am really curious about this world, why don’t we sit down and have a chat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And it seems your current situation is not going so well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to take revenge... kill your enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1370,"2026-06-03T10:59:06.081Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.836Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb064e6de3e54402c822730bf40c752e56b904260ae901fc22aa2fe2c82fd643","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1657","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1655",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
