A black magic circle appeared beneath Fang Xian's feet, connecting to Lilith and Sissia, forming another black magic circle around them.
A large "Human Lord" appeared between the three of them.
"Contract."
Lilith and Sisia's favorability rating was raised to 100, and they nodded happily in agreement.
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
The black magic circles connecting the three of them shone brightly, merging into a large black magic circle.
A moment later, Fang Xian, Lilith, and Sisia all felt the "Power of Contract," and the contract was successful.
The light dimmed, and the black magic circle disappeared.
[Contract successful, current contract partners: 70/202.]
The two "modified humans" successfully formed a contract, and Fang Xian beckoned to them.
Sissia and Lilith immediately blushed and their hearts raced as they slowly flew down, their beautiful eyes looking at Fang Xian, softly calling out to him.
"Master..."
"Master."
Asuka, Misato Katsuragi, and Rei Ayanami all looked at them curiously, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
The Empire's elite "Black Edge Legion" and "Iron Blood Legion" were instantly annihilated, and their two commanders became Fang Xian's contract partners. Now, the Empire truly only had shrimp soldiers and crab generals left.
After all, according to Fang Xian, the Empire's strongest queen, Esdeath, had also become Fang Xian's woman, and the defeat of the Science and Martial World in this "Extraterrestrial War" was inevitable.
Fang Xian couldn't wait to reach out and check. After feeling around, he found that apart from his arm being hard, everything else was soft.
"Welcome to the 'Fang Xian Wives' Club'."
Sisia and Lilith hurriedly straightened their appearance and clothes, their faces flushed with embarrassment as they respectfully responded.
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Master."
Fang Xian was unfazed by Sisia and Lilith's restraint; it was only temporary. Before long, they would be as fierce as tigers.
"Sisia, Lilith, take me to the Empire's armory. I need to move all the mechs, Gundams, laser cannons, and so on."
Faced with Fang Xian's blunt and reactionary remarks, Sisia and Lilith were only slightly surprised, then obediently nodded.
"Yes, Master."
"Master, this way, please."
...
The Royal Palace.
King Carol's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror instead of majesty.
His body trembled slightly, and his scepter shook as well.
His eyes widened, staring intently at the holographic screen, his lips trembling slightly as he muttered to himself:
"How could this be… The Black Fang Legion and the Iron Blood Legion are both gone…"
He glanced around frantically, seeing the equally terrified faces of the ministers, his own fear intensifying.
"Quick! Summon General Esdeath back immediately for reinforcements!"
The ministers' faces darkened further.
"Your Majesty, we haven't been able to contact General Esdeath. Even if we could… it would take her several hours to get back…"
The minister sighed deeply.
He didn't need to say anything more; everyone already knew what the outcome would be.
Fang Xian, who had wiped out the Black Fang Legion and the Iron Blood Legion in a single move, was someone they couldn't possibly withstand.
Moreover, Esdeath had taken their army to the vortex between the two worlds, further weakening the royal city's defenses.
King Carol's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks, soaking his magnificent golden robes.
"Activate all the protective shields in the palace! Gather all soldiers and Gundams! Hold the line until reinforcements arrive!"
"Yes, sir!"
Just then, a deafening explosion rang out, and the entire palace shook violently.
The energy shields, which had been shimmering with a pale blue light, shattered and dissipated instantly after the explosion.
Immediately afterward, accompanied by a whooshing sound, Fang Xian and his group suddenly appeared, instantly standing before the king.
King Carol stared wide-eyed in terror, his scepter clattering onto the energy-conducting stone floor.
"It...it's you!"
The surrounding ministers were already terrified, collapsing to the ground, trembling and hiding in corners.
Fang Xian smiled and waved to the king.
"Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Fang Xian."
"Please forgive me, but I will not kneel in greeting; after all, you cannot bear such an honor."
King Carol looked at Fang Xian's harmless appearance, but felt a chill run down his spine.
But when he saw Sisya and Lilith, he was surprised.
"Captain Sisya, Captain Lilith, you're not dead?"
The ministers snapped out of their daze and realized that the two captains were also there.
They had all assumed that Sisya and Lilith had perished in Fang Xian's counterattack, but they hadn't expected to be here with him.
Could it be that they had betrayed him?
Sissia and Lilith greeted the King respectfully.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, we have returned to request that you hand over the nation's resources to our master to prevent further casualties."
The King and his ministers were utterly bewildered by Sissia and Lilith's words.
The two commanders were not dead, but their words shocked everyone.
Even more outrageous was that they addressed Fang Xian as—Master.
Have they betrayed us? Or have they been brainwashed?
King Carol was afraid of Fang Xian, but he exuded authority towards Sissia and Lilith.
"Insolence! Sissia, Lilith, as commanders of the 'Black Edge Legion' and the 'Iron Blood Legion,' how can you be so ungrateful and betray the nation's interests?"
Sissia and Lilith exchanged a glance, slowly raising their mechanical arms, the energy emitters in their palms aimed at King Carol.
Their previously respectful attitude vanished, their voices turning icy.
"Your Majesty, we are acting in the best interests of the world of science and technology. We request that you hand over the national treasury's resources to prevent further unnecessary casualties."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please don't put us in a difficult position."
Fang Xian watched Sissia and Lilith with interest; they were quite proactive and decisive.
King Carol, seeing Sissia and Lilith, who would never have dared to be so disrespectful to him before, gritted his teeth in anger.
"Damn it! If General Esdeath were here, how could you be so insolent!"
"Oh? You mean if Esdeath were here, you'd be fine?"
King Carol, seeing Fang Xian's mocking expression, felt a pang of unease, but still mustered his courage to reply:
"That...that's natural. I, General Esdeath, am invincible. If she were here, you..."
He trailed off, not daring to utter any more threats, fearing he might anger Fang Xian.
Fang Xian's lips curled into a slight smile, his tone playful.
"Alright, since that's the case, then so be it."
He used his "Exclusive Skill - All-Encompassing Ocean" to summon Esdeath.
King Carol and his ministers were overjoyed to see Esdeath appear out of thin air, but her first words plunged their hearts into despair.
Esdeath immediately took Fang Xian's arm, intimately embracing him.
"Husband."
