Chapter 550 - 550: Sandbag, the Giant North Sea Monster Submits (2)
The only existing memory it had was from ancient times when one of its ancestors signed a contract with an extremely powerful entity to help manage the ocean. However, even then, they were considered equals!
Apart from that, there were no memories of the North Sea Monster bloodline ever submitting. They were always the ones enslaving other sea races. There was no memory of anyone else enslaving them, let alone a mere human!
Ji Chen’s expressionless face revealed a cold smile, causing the Kraken to instinctively close its mouth.
Several tens of minutes later.
“Chirp- (I agree, 1 agree, please don’t attack me again),” the Kraken weakly said as it lay helplessly on the ice, tears of despair flowing from its window-like large eyes.
It looked at Ji Chen with fear in its eyes.
This human was simply not human. He used such horrifying methods to torture it. No wonder the memories left by its ancestors warned it not to provoke powerful humans, as it could very well lead to the extinction of their bloodline.
It just became an epic-tier sea creature and didn’t want to die so soon.
Seeing this, Ji Chen didn’t waste any time and immediately drafted a master and slave contract. Under the witness of the world’s rules, he completed the contract with the Kraken.
The moment the contract took effect, the life of this giant octopus was entirely in his hands.
“Ding- The master and slave contract is in effect. North Sea Monster: Kraken (Epic Tier) has become your servant.”
Ji Chen couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Excitement welled up within him.
A giant octopus with a length of nearly a hundred meters was an extremely powerful force.
Although the Kraken appeared weak and powerless in front of his Ocean power and domain, it was actually quite formidable. Even Herald, the legendary-level Deep Sea Naga, would only be able to withstand a few rounds against it.
After all, an epic-tier being was still an epic-level being. No matter how weak it was, it was still epic. It could easily crush legendary-level beings.
The Kraken could drive millions of sea creatures on its own, demonstrating its immense strength, robust vitality, and the bloodline power that allowed it to engage in prolonged battles.
Its eight robust tentacles and massive body were a nightmare for ordinary enemies.
Since the Kraken was willing to sign the master and slave contract, Ji Chen also saved himself from using the Enslavement Contract Scroll.
Feeling that its life was now in someone else’s hands and that its freedom would be restricted, the Kraken couldn’t help but feel a bit dejected. The whole octopus collapsed weakly onto the ice, its tentacles limply hanging on the surface, and its head resting on the iceberg, looking completely disheartened.

For now, Ji Chen didn’t pay much attention to the dejected giant octopus and began to examine its status panel information.

This was quite a good status panel. Although it was far from Ji Chen’s own level, the series of gold-tier skills was quite luxurious.
Ji Chen noticed one skill in particular: Spatial Piercing.
He thought for a moment.
The Deceiver sacrificed himself to disrupt the stability of the nearby spatial nodes, allowing the Kraken to cleverly use its spatial piercing ability to enter this realm.
He asked in a deep voice, “Kraken, can you open a space rift here again?”
The Kraken, who had reluctantly accepted its status as a servant, regained some of its spirit as it replied, “Chirp! (Yes, but if it’s between different realms or between realms and the main world, it can only be done in places with fragile spatial structures.)”
Ji Chen nodded. With this ability, he wouldn’t need to travel back hundreds of kilometers to the portal. He could simply use the rifts here to leave this icy expanse.
He then commanded, “You stay here and guard these warships. Don’t destroy them, and don’t let the soldiers on board take the ships away. These are my spoils of war, and this is your first task.”
However, seeing the Kraken’s listless appearance, he thought for a moment and softened his tone.
“If you can satisfy me later, maybe 1 can release you from the master and slave contract and set you free.”
When dealing with an employee who had lost their motivation to work, the most effective strategy was to offer them a tempting reward to reignite their enthusiasm.
Upon hearing this, the Kraken suddenly became spirited and widened its eyes.
“Is that true!?”
“Of course.”
The Kraken’s small brain immediately started working. Although it wasn’t smart, it wasn’t foolish either. It knew that the credibility of these words was not high, but it thought of something else.
In its memories, humans had relatively short lifespans, usually no more than one or two hundred years at most.
On the other hand, the North Sea Monster had a lifespan of thousands of years. By the time this human passed away, the master and slave contract would naturally be released, and it could regain its freedom, right?
It’s just a mere hundred years; it can handle it!
Seeing the sly look on the Kraken’s face, Ji Chen knew it was up to some mischief, but he didn’t mind.
The master and slave contract was in place, and no matter what schemes the Kraken had in mind, its life was in his hands, and it couldn’t overturn that.
But if he knew what it was thinking, he might just smile knowingly.
With the boost of an epic-tier profession and the power of the ocean, his vitality had received unprecedented enhancement. While he might not be able to live for hundreds of thousands of years like those legendary races, he would have at least a thousand years, and as his level continued to rise, this time would increase exponentially.
Perhaps he might even outlast the Kraken!
After the Kraken submitted, the sea beasts that had surged in also lost their will to fight and fled with their tails between their legs.
After instructing the Kraken to wait here, Ji Chen returned to the Hidden Vale Village with the heroes and the remaining army. There were still some rare resources that needed to be collected there.
Several kilometers away from the battle site, Arlin and her group of elves lay in the snow, their faces filled with worry.
After escorting them here, Alice returned with her army. They were now worried because they could no longer hear the terrifying tentacle monster’s roars coming from that direction.
In this situation, it could only be one of two things: either the tentacle monster had been killed, or Lord Ji Chen and his group had been killed. The latter was something they couldn’t accept because Lord Ji Chen was the key to whether they could leave the Hidden Vale Village.
However, when they saw Ji Chen’s figure appear, joy appeared on their faces.
Arlin couldn’t help but run up to him.
“Lord Ji Chen, did you kill the tentacle monster!?”
Ji Chen looked at the excited Arlin, and gently shook his head.
Arlin was puzzled. “Then, did you drive it away?”
“Not exactly. 1 subjugated it. I’ve left it there to guard the ships, and you’ll see it later.”
Arlin swallowed hard, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
She had seen that tentacle monster. Just one of its tentacles was as thick as an ancient tree, and its head was as large as a house. Just looking into its crimson eyes made her difficult to breathe, and even her limbs went numb.
And such a monster had been subjugated?
Goddess of Heaven, just how powerful was Lord Ji Chen?!
