Only mythical beasts could possess such power!

Did he want to run away in a panic? After that one oppressive glance from the god, he could only run away in a panic, he didn't even have the strength to stand up and walk.

This is the absolute crushing power of 'gods' over 'mortals'! The absolute divine power of the supreme species!

"horrible!"

"too frightening!"

"I've long heard that divine beasts are incredibly powerful, possessing unparalleled strength that normal humans simply cannot contend with, even if they are a whole or even two ranks higher..."

"I didn't understand before, and I thought they were talking nonsense, but now I understand. I understand. The 'divine pressure' inherent under the 'god' characteristic has an absolute crushing effect on the life level of ordinary life. This feeling... is terrifying!"

Manager Wang slumped to the ground, unable to stop recalling the feeling from just now.

That one glance made him feel like an ant gazing at the sky, suddenly discovering that the heavens had opened their eyes and were looking down at him from above.

I may not be considered strong, but I am still a hero-level psionicist. The black cat's rank is most likely no higher than the second rank, but even so... I still have no ability to resist it.

Let alone me, even a legendary-level psionicist of the same level probably couldn't withstand that one glance, right? That's... a real divine beast!

"Whoo~"

"Hoo~breath~"

Manager Wang took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then directly opened the spirit world private message and sent a voice request to the higher-ups on the other side.

The messages from the spirit world are somewhat similar to those in the real world. Private messages have a weak notification sound and may sometimes be ignored, but voice messages are different. They are louder and you can usually see them.

but...

Under normal circumstances, psychics do not use voice, because spiritual voices reach the soul directly, and such voices may affect the other party. Using them at non-critical times is not only very impolite, but may even affect what the other party is doing.

What if the other person is having an epiphany? What if the other person is fighting? What if the other person is having sex? All sorts of possibilities exist.

Therefore, voice calls are only used when something is extremely important.

"Wang Chengzhi, you'd better have something important to say."

From the other end of the spirit world came an angry voice, clearly tinged with rage, as if something had been interrupted.

"A mythical beast! I've seen a mythical beast!"

"you sure?"

"A notification from the spirit realm, imbued with divine pressure, indicates that the opponent is a genuine divine beast, estimated to be at the second rank."

"What is it here for?"

"Extortion, they want spatial treasures."

"..."

The man opposite him was silent for a moment, then said, "Give it to it, give it all to it, don't leave a single bit behind, don't make enemies of the divine beast."

"But..."

"No buts! A second-tier divine beast requires at least a fourth-tier spiritualist to handle! Its demand for spatial treasures suggests that this creature is most likely a spatial elementalist. A second-tier spatial elemental divine beast—could a normal fourth-tier spiritualist possibly catch up with it?"

Immediately afterward, the other man sighed deeply and asked, "Where did it come from? Why did it come to Giant Pharmaceuticals? Why did you say it was extortion? Why would a divine beast come to extort us?"

"...I don't know. It was with a forbidden walker, the one I told you about before."

"The Forbidden Traveler..."

The man opposite him pondered for a moment, then finally exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "Ah! I get it! This guy's just out having fun!"

"It doesn't care about value at all; it just saw that bastard coming out to plunder and got itchy, so it joined in to extort us!"

"Huh? That's it..."

"Otherwise what? Do you think your branch's shoddy stuff can attract a divine beast? Do you really think those supplies are that valuable? If they were, would they still be at the branch?"

"..."

Manager Wang wore a mask of pain, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

So...

Am I just incredibly unlucky?

I was robbed by the Forbidden Walker. A mythical beast thought it was funny, so it followed the Forbidden Walker and, for its own amusement, also robbed me.

No, what's going on here!

A terrible disaster has struck!

"What's the relationship between that divine beast and the Forbidden Walker? Do they seem close?" the higher-up asked again.

"He was sitting on that Forbidden Walker's shoulder, and they seemed quite intimate. The Forbidden Walker even patted its head earlier," Manager Wang recalled.

"hiss..."

The higher-ups gasped in shock, finally saying, "I suspect that the Forbidden Traveler you mentioned was never a Forbidden Traveler at all; he was just a Beast Tamer!"

"what?"

"I'm asking you, is his mental attribute value high?"

"It used to be the highest, but I feel it's related to equipment; the growth rate probably isn't high..."

"That's right! Beast Tamers are born with high attribute values. Even if he disguises himself as a warrior, his spirit attribute won't be much lower. Only a real warrior would be crazy enough to have spirit higher than strength! Are you kidding me? How could such a stupid thing exist in this world?"

The high-ranking official said with absolute certainty, "His spirit is higher than his strength, which is definitely because he is a Beast Tamer. His spirit growth is too high. Even if he uses a lot of strength enhancement potions, he still cannot suppress the spirit attribute in a short period of time."

"If I'm not mistaken, the next potion he wants to try is also focused on power, specifically designed to mislead you and our judgment, making us mistakenly believe that he is the real Forbidden Walker."

"Then...why did he do that...?"

Manager Wang frowned deeply, completely unable to understand, feeling that this was utterly unnecessary.

"Because it's fun."

"what?"

"if not?"

"this..."

"The prerequisite for becoming a Beast Tamer is a divine beast within the third generation. Do you think a divine beast would lack anything? It only lacks fun, things that are fun to play with. It would never seek out a Beast Tamer because of an equal contract; it just wants to find a toy to play with."

The high-ranking official sighed, then said helplessly, "You probably don't know this. After all, it's a top-level secret. Not to mention you, most people in this world don't even know that there is such a legendary profession as Beast Tamer."

"I have read in historical records that the beast tamers only tame beasts for fun. Once they have had their fun, they will simply leave, taking the beast tamer's job with them, leaving behind only penniless jobless people."

"Those who are jobless are those who have truly lost their profession. They will not lose their skills or their attribute values ​​will not decrease, but they will lose all future growth potential and will not be able to obtain a new profession a second time in any form."

"Those who were unemployed throughout history often met a tragic end. They were like toys for mythical beasts; once they were tired of playing with them, they would be discarded."

"Therefore, the behavior logic of these Beast Tamers is even more unpredictable, and their danger level may even be higher than that of the Forbidden Travelers. From now on... you'd better pray for good luck."
