God's Eyes

If Jason were to be honest, he didn't really care about the dragon's origin or the exact reason why Dragonoids, dragons, or whatever race had implemented the tradition to spectate the liberation tournament.

There could be countless reasons, but as long as it didn't turn into an obstacle to his own path, Jason would let the others live peacefully!

Nevertheless, now that the dragon, Wisse, had questioned him quite a lot, showing his interest in the specific things Jason had revealed, he thought that it was possible to ask questions in return.

As such, he decided to lure the dragon into his trap before turning the tides!

[It may not be an issue, but more like something I have yet to figure out about my origin. I know almost nothing about my other race! 

But there is something else I'm interested in. Do you know a way to override an advanced soul contract? I need to figure out how this is possible for something. It's very important to me.]

Wisse knew that he had yet to gain Jason's trust as he was always talking around the bush, never directly answering the questions he had asked.

Despite that, Wisse could tell what the young man was doing..

Both he and Jason may be young but they were equally crafty which was the reason Wisse decided to accept the unconventional approach Jason seemed to offer.

'If I answer your questions you'll trust me a little bit more which will in return make you answer truthfully? Is that so?' 

Thus, he decided to answer some of Jason's questions before he hoped to receive some more details about Jason in order to relay the acquired information to his master.

She seemed to be very interested in Jason, or to be precise in the fact that he had been able to release pressure intertwined with the attribute of Chaos!

That was extremely difficult and rare to see, and as such even more interesting to sense in a mana scarce world like Argos where beings like Jason shouldn't even exist, to begin with.

Jason had hoped that Wisse did exactly as he hoped, and it was evident that both had reached a compromise in order to gain more information.

Torturing Jason was not really the way forward for Wisse as he was not sure what exactly the young man was hiding.

That was even more dangerous because his distinct dragon senses told Wisse to be careful of Jason, and that it would be better to stay on friendly terms than the other way around.

If other Dragonoid, let alone dragons were to hear that he had to act nicely in front of a being at the 2nd Lique stage, they would ridicule him as the way of the dragons was dominance and pure strength.

Normally, he would overwhelm Jason and force him to reveal everything, but that was something even his master had told him not to do.

In the end, Wisse didn't care how others perceived him, but if his master said that the young golden-silverish eyes youth was someone he had to be careful of, this was most certainly the truth!

As such, he thought about the question Jason had asked him before he answered.

[If this concerns you, or someone close to you, I guess you are not talking about an advanced soul contract. 

There are several types of soul contracts, but beings below the Ascendion stage can only manifest the lowest type of soul contract. This can be done by loosening a thread from their soul to manifest a pact that involves only those beings connected to the soul threads.

I've heard a little bit about the tumults that seemed to have happened during the last few years, and if rumors are to be believed, there shouldn't even be an existence close to the capabilities to manifest an advanced soul contract, let alone the necessary materials.

The most someone could create is a soul pact, which is what the lowest type of soul contract is called. Through this, one can add several clauses and include the oppressed individuals that have already formed a soul pact with one of the two parties to create another soul pact.

However, in order to add the submissive parties, their prior soul pact must have already turned them into slaves, or subordinates that have to pay heed to the orders they receive without fail.

As such, an entire clan could be forced into a single soul pact, turning everything a little bit complex.

Now, how do you overwhelm, or overwrite a soul pact? This differentiates according to the given clauses, but the easiest would be to kill the beings in control of the said soul pact.

Based on your expression, I believe this won't be very helpful, as such you probably need a way to figure out a solution to let someone walk free out of a complex soul pact, unscathed if possible.

If you don't care about them being unscathed, shatter the majority of your soul and piece it together by utilizing heavenly resources… 

Despite requiring lots of resources, which you can't find on a planet that is even remotely similar to Argos, that would be the easier solution if I were to be honest.

The last solution I can think of right now would be to simply overwrite the soul pact. This may be painful for both sides, but it could be possible if certain small points may have not been clearly mentioned. If that is the case, it would be possible for beings at the Ascendion stage to make use of this, and write a true soul contract because their soul is simply stronger! 

But even that might not necessarily help you to help someone out of enslavement, if the clauses state even one of the points that you believe might not have been mentioned...]

Jason listened intently, but all of the information didn't seem to truly help. The information was interesting and he could use it in the future. But it wouldn't help him to figure out more about how he could rescue Greg and Malia, who had been enslaved, in addition to Gabriella and Mark, who might have been forced into a similar soul pact!

'Shattering soul….would kill their soulbonds….and even putting it together might not repair their soul world….Ascendion stage..strengthened soul? That's too long… overwhelming..how to overwhelm a soul pact else...soul....soul...'

At that moment, Jason felt something within his soul world that distracted him.

All three of his soulbonds, Artemis, Petri, and Solaris were behaving oddly, as if they wanted to tell him something he was missing out on; something extremely simple, yet too simple that it couldn't be the solution he was seeking.

His soulbond's fortified soul conjunction was gleaming lightly and it was almost as if their connection that connected both Jason and his soulbonds with each other was screaming "Idiot" at him.

Jason was so deep in thoughts that he didn't even realise that his mind was slowly finding its way towards the right answer.

Suddenly as if a bolt of lightning had struck his head, Jason's eyes widened as he exclaimed,

"I'm so stupid!!" 

Turning towards Wisse, the dragon, he asked for a voice transmission that would change the lives of many humans on Argos.

[Have you heard about our race's soul-awakening? Could you evaluate how strong the soul connection of soulbonds is in comparison to an enslavement soul pact??]
