The glowing egg of Nether Paradise Bird trembled in the thief's space, and the glowing black runes on it suddenly started to dilate, covering the white surface of the egg with black.
Ace felt a strange pressure suddenly released from the egg of Nether Paradise Bird, and his heart palpitated because he suddenly imagined himself surrounded by immeasurable dark flames.
However, this feeling was only feting before the illusion broke and that strange pressure by the egg suddenly vanished.
The system's voice sounded at this moment.

Ace's eyes dilated when he heard and read all the information in the notification panel.
When he saw the second option, he was flabbergasted and blurted, "Nether Fire Spirit?! As if the Fire Spirit that Noa needed?!"
Ace was completely stunned by this revelation because he didn't think the fabled Fire Spirit will fall into his lap just like this.
Furthermore, this Nether Paradise Bird sounds quite dangerous when he read the warnings, and he understood that being like Nether Paradise Bird couldn't exist in the first heaven and Heaven will never bear its existence.
If not for his heavenly Qi, this egg of Nether Paradise Bird won't have even a chance to hatch in this kind of environment. But the system also never gave him any kind of prior warning that it was this dangerous to hatch it.
"[Yes, the Neither Fire Spirit can only be acquired from killing a Nether Paradise Bird. It's born from the Nether Paradise Bird's corpse.]"
Ace took a deep breath to calm himself and then asked more questions, "Then what about this master and servant pack? If I formed it, will the heavenly punishment still be drawn by it once I exposed it to the first heaven's environment?
"Besides, why can't I use the Beast Tamer Contract to make it my pet? I'm sure you have the means to make it a pet instead of a servant. More importantly, why the heck do I need to pay you 10 million TP to kill it when I can do it myself?"
"[No, once the Master and Servant Pack formed, the aura of Nether Paradise Bird would be masked by the Host's, and without its true strength, the Heaven won't notice its existence.]
"[As for why the Beast Tamer Contracts, they would never work on Nether Paradise Bird because it's a Magic Beast with the trace of mythical ??? Bloodline.]
"[These types of Magic Beasts either submit themselves or they prefer death than submission to lower beings. The Nether Paradise Bird is of unyielding nature and violently arrogant beings. They would never submit to anyone even when born.]
"[So, the only way to tame such a creature is Master and Servant Packs, which could be only used when they were about to be born. Or the moment they gain their consciousness, they would rather die than be subjugated by others.]
"[Lastly, if the host tries to kill even an infant, Nether Paradise Bird, without 100% mastery of a [Law], the host won't even leave a scratch on its body, much less kill it. That's why the system needs 10 million TP to kill an infant, Nether Paradise Bird.]
"[Or the host could let the Nether Paradise Bird grow in the living thief's space, which would naturally turn the Living Thief's Space into its nest, and the host won't be able to store any item in it anymore.]
"[But if the host wants to kill it after it becomes stronger, then the system would not agree because it's a one-time offer. The Nether Paradise Bird is worthy of being a servant of Host and few creatures of darkness had such honor!]"
System reply was cold and ruthless as ever, which made Ace perspire when he understood just what kind of being Nether Paradise Bird was and couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought how he wanted to tame it. He was simply too naïve.
Now, he either has to pay to suppress it to his level, or he has to pay to kill it. Even though he wanted that Fire Spirit for Noa, this was also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he formed the Master and Servant Pack, he would have a servant that could increase its strength as long as he raised his, and the system also just stated that not just any Magic Beast could make the system act.
It might be some kind of hint to not waste this opportunity.
The Nether Paradise Bird was a creature of darkness and might bring some unexpected benefits. As for a spirit fire, he had a location, and if he wanted he could try searching for it.
But the egg of Nether Paradise Bird might never appear again!
After considering the pros and cons, in the end, Ace puckered his lips and said, "Fine, I'll choose the first option."

[Host has chosen to form the Master and Servant Pack with Nether Paradise Bird!]
[50 Million Thief Points, 50 Million Peak Grade-3 Qi Stones, and 5 Million Grade-3 Soul Crystal has been deducted!]
[The ancient Master and Servant ritual has been started. Please don't move!]

Thereupon, Ace noticed inside his thief's space, a dark mist started to gather around the trembling egg of Nether Paradise Bird which had turned completely pitch black after the runes covered it completely.
The dark mist suddenly started to enter the egg without any resistance, and Ace saw dark blue rune symbols appearing below the egg, soon forming a pentagram array.
Ace was completely captivated by those symbols, but they were soon turned into strange lines and started to crawl on the violently trembling egg before that array completely covered the egg!
The dark blue symbols simmered in a dark sheen before a small pentagram appeared on top of the oval egg.
Thereafter, Ace suddenly felt something piercing into his heart before he noticed an extremely dark crimson blood drop, almost black, appeared above the small pentagram over the top of the egg and fall onto it.
Ace felt dazed all of a sudden because this drop was Ace's heart blood!
The egg turned crimson because of the drop of blood, and soon the crimson color was absorbed by the egg, and the dark mist also faded, and the egg returned to its former state.
However, Ace at this moment felt a strong connection with the egg of Nether Paradise Bird or, more accurately, the being within the egg. He could feel its chaotic emotions. It was afraid, anxious, expectancy, obscured…
The strange aura he experienced at that time didn't affect him anymore, either.
The system's voice rang at this moment.
======
[The Master and Servant Pack has been successfully established!]
======
'What a strange feeling. I can really kill it with thought and order it to do anything, just as the system described.' Ace marveled as he felt the connection with the Nether Paradise Bird becoming more and more clear.
'Crack…'
Ace's attention was drawn to the thief's space by this crisp sound, and he saw small cracks start to appear on the egg of Nether Paradise Bird!
The cracks grew as Ace could feel the creature inside wanting to come out.
'Took…'
A hole was forcibly poked in the eggshell and a tiny black beak surface, and quickly the entire half eggshell was broken and the creature's head became apparent.
Ace's expression became strange because it was a pitch-black bird hatchling with its eyes closed and was only three centimeters in size. It didn't give him any impression of a disastrous bird at all like the system portrayed it to be.
However, his expression soon changed when the hatchling suddenly opened its beak and all of a sudden spit sky-blue fire!
The glowing egg of Nether Paradise Bird trembled in the thief's space, and the glowing black runes on it suddenly started to dilate, covering the white surface of the egg with black.
