MTLNOVEL Chapter 55: Ice Scorpion Type
"Master! Can we take Bing'er with us?"
Although the Snow Empress's voice was cold, Rin detected a hint of pleading in it.
Given the relationship between the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, she was unwilling to leave the Ice Empress alone to face Tang San's wrath.
But this left Rin with only one option, to forcibly capture the Ice Empress and bring her back to the Cardinal World with them.
"Alright then."
The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress, or rather, all Fierce Beast-level Soul Beasts, could theoretically provide assistance to Rin.
The Ice Empress's aptitude certainly couldn't compare to the Snow Empress's, but Rin wouldn't lose out at least.
"Ogerpon, control her!"
"Poniii!"
Hearing Rin's command, Ogerpon unhesitatingly summoned her Ivy Cudgel, then, before the Ice Empress could even react, slammed it hard onto her head.
"Bang!!"
Terrifying monstrous strength poured down, and the Ice Empress only felt a world-shattering tremor before she directly fainted.
"Capturer, activate!!"
For beings who had lost the ability to resist, the Capturer required no preparation whatsoever.
With a flash of light, the enormous Ice Jade Empress Scorpion vanished into the giant pit, and with her, the figures of Rin and the others also disappeared.
"How is this possible!!"
In the Divine Realm, Tang San sat on the God King's throne.
A screen floated before him, displaying the exact location where Rin and the others had previously stood.
However, at this moment, the screen was completely empty.
"Where are they?"
"Space transfer? Or aura concealment?"
Tang San's divine sense continuously poured into the image, then searched the entire Northern Icefield in a carpet-like fashion, and spread to even more distant places.
"Tang San!!"
However, Tang San's actions were quickly discovered.
The God of Destruction burst in with fury, his face grim as he glared at Tang San. "What are you doing? Gods cannot interfere with the lower realms. As the God of Law Enforcement, do you intend to knowingly break the law?!"
"Destruction…"
With his plan ruined by Rin, Tang San was brimming with suppressed anger.
And yet, the God of Destruction still came to question him.
However, Tang San had not yet fully mastered the power of the Asura God, and he was not confident he could defeat Destruction, an old-guard God King.
There was no choice. Tang San could only feign compliance with the other party.
"You mean to say, evil gods from other planes have entered the Soul Land Continent?"
"Exactly."
In a few words, he depicted Rin and the others as evil individuals with malicious intentions.
They coveted the Soul Land Continent, and he had merely discovered this in advance and gone to stop them.
The God of Destruction stared at Tang San. The other party's compassionate demeanor was simply too deceptive.
Even the Goddess of Life, who had accompanied him for countless tens of thousands of years, was now speaking up for Tang San.
Leaving aside the mutual suspicion and schemes between Destruction and Tang San in the Soul Land Universe.
Rin successfully returned to the Cardinal World with the newly subdued Ice Empress and Snow Empress, as well as Ogerpon, Shuna, and Shion.

"Ah!! What is this place?!"
"You hateful human, what did you do to me?!"
Within the boundless pure white world, a chibi Ice Empress was throwing a huge tantrum.
The Ice Empress remembered that not long ago, she had ambushed a human Soul Master, but was struck on the head by a green stick.
What happened next, the Ice Empress had no idea.
"Bing Bing, stop making a fuss."
Suddenly, a cold female voice came from behind the Ice Empress. She turned her head and saw a beautiful woman in a long ice-blue dress.
"Snow Empress!!"
The Ice Empress was first delighted, then plunged into deep despair. "Even, even you were captured by that hateful human?"
"How could this happen?"
...
The Ice Empress had clearly misunderstood something. The Snow Empress shook her head helplessly, comforting her good sister while explaining the current situation to her.
Upon hearing that Tang San was monitoring the Soul Land Continent, and that the Snow Empress, and even she herself, could very likely be schemed against, the Ice Empress immediately cursed Tang San as despicable.
What happened next, however, was somewhat beyond the Ice Empress's expectations.
Beings from another world, special vows, escaping the Soul Land World, the possibility of continuing to grow stronger...
All of this left the Ice Empress feeling incredible.
"So, Snow Empress, you are now that person, that Rin's Dependent?"
The dignified Ice Empress, leader of the Three Arctic Kings of the Northern Icefield, becoming someone else's Dependent—the Ice Empress found it somewhat unacceptable.
Dependent, it sounded nice, but wasn't it essentially a servant?
"Snow Empress, are you really going to be a Dependent for that Rin?"
"Yes, I have decided."
The Snow Empress's nature was cold, but unlike humans, her thoughts were not complex.
Since she had said she would follow Rin, she would remain loyal to the end, in this life and this world, never betraying him.
"Also, Bing'er, you are actually Rin's Dependent now as well."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the Ice Empress's eyes immediately widened.
(To be continued.)
