Merciless menacingly smiled internally when he heard these words, but what he said next astonished Silk because his conditions were not what she expected; in fact, Merciless would have died on the scene if Silk had not been suppressed like this.
"Impossible request, demands impossible rewards, does it not... if you want my help, I desire one condition for you; it’s really simple; all you need to do is become my loyal pet for all eternity."

"Vampire!? Do you have a death wish?"
Silk expressed her outrage at Merciless’ disrespectful statements towards her. However, debating with him is like fighting with an unyielding wall that refuses to budge.
Merciless nonchalantly began feeding this woman with rational common sense on his end, completely without empathy for her. Why should he? He is the sole victim here in the grand scheme of things.
’Don’t you dare ask me whether I have a death wish or not. Are you retarded, or something? What’s with you cosmic beings imposing their will on me as if I were a tool in creation? Well, woman, if you came here looking for a tool, the only one you’ll find is someone who might murder you for your impulsive behavior. Bitch, you don’t control me, ugh. Maybe I should say fuck it to the bigger spectrum of balance and start killing out all God-like entities who foolishly attempt to control me.’
’And, moreover, you honestly think I would trust you on the first encounter, and do I appear that foolish to you? I’ll let you know that I have class and standards. But you know what’s bothering me? You’re the one who wants my help. Hell, I could leave this place with nothing and not worry about your ass. Now, if you want my assistance, you will receive it in accordance with my laws; bitch, my body, mind, and soul are my temple, not someplace where you can reside or touch rent-free; the fuck this like to you, charity?’
Merciless announced, being entirely honest to Silk, who was perplexed by his nasty demeanor at this time. This startled her; after all, who in their right mind would offend a cosmic entity so readily and without considering the consequences?
"Insolent little sh...
Silk began to convey her anger, but Merciless cut her off right away, not allowing her to express her point of view.
’Alright lady, enough said, I’m leaving, Shit, you want my help but don’t want to play by the rules; what the hell is wrong with you?’
Merciless expressed the message frankly; he didn’t have time or interest in communicating with a cosmic entity that had nothing beneficial to offer him, let alone anything on which he could rely to create confidence.
And, to be honest, he could easily leave this place now if he truly wanted to; he was just waiting for that good old Brunhilde effect Hector was talking about to happen, and, while he didn’t know why, his mental connection with Black Tail was gradually returning, so he could easily escape this place with its help.
As a result, Merciless began to send an S.O.S. signal to Black Tail, which it duly received since Merciless could feel himself slipping away from this realm, implying that Black Tail was working promptly to bring its master to safety.
Silk panicked, but she also bubbled over with frustration, for her only way out of this realm, as far as she knew, was about to burst through the illusory divide between the seal and the conscious world. And the speed with which this outside force moved was frightening.
The amount of work, as well as the level of mental reluctance, that this monster was putting out to get her ticket out of there, was almost as if it was motivated just by the desire to release Merciless. Then, when Black Tail had no physical body to work with in this case, Zane completely atomized Merciless on the outside. However, the form in which it was approaching its master was not a ghost, spirit, or anything of the like.
Nay! It was a creature of pure fiction, the very essence of Black Tail itself that was coming here, and the thing that made up its soul or essence, as well as the metaphysical thread of Black Tail. Who possessed that much control over the principles of the mind? Even Silk’s mental barrier was corroding at a monstrous rate that surprised even her, as this creature was unrelenting as fuck.
’What the hell is the monster that was linked to him?’
’How did it even get here?’
’What the hell is that thing? I’d never seen a familiar do something as illogical as this before! It’s as if it’s a part of his body that connects to all three elements of self-existence, which are Mind, Body, and Soul, also known as Essence.’
On that remark, Merciless began speaking to Silk, as he had stated.
’Last opportunity, woman, to agree to my terms; heck, I could even make it somewhat fair if you cooperate like a good girl. Or you could stay here and rot for another trillion years on your own; I don’t mind either way. My ride is on its way to pick me up, and unlike you, I can go anywhere I want, not like you, who cannot.’
Merciless began to respectfully inform Silk, but Silk responded with rage, as she stated.
"Now you’re simply being ridiculous; use common sense, vampire. You will not be able to defeat the Gods on your own; I know what I am talking about. They aren’t as straightforward as you expected. Aside from that, becoming your pet is no different than being imprisoned; I gain nothing from this bargain if that is the case."
Silk starts to dispute to the very end about Merciless’ terms and conditions; Merciless, on the other hand, begs to disagree, and he responds as such, turning her statement about common sense on her.
’Common sense, haha?" Laughable, no! Even you would be foolish to assume that! But, to be bluntly and truly honest with you, woman, I have just used common sense to engage with you. To be honest, you stated you were locked in here by "The Beginning." Understandable, but why in the world would I give a mere mortal 50% of the completeness of totality when I can backstab him when he has served his purpose? In layman’s terms, lady, you are either dumb, extremely trusting, full of bullshit, or manipulative as fuck.’
’Basically, I don’t trust you at all, which is why I don’t want to grasp your hand, since the only things I, Merciless Minerva Elderblood II, can and will ever genuinely trust are myself, my father, and my pets. I cannot trust anyone other than myself or Michelle. Or anything that isn’t a well-behaved pet that moves like a dog on a leash—I can’t and won’t trust anything less than that. If you want my aid, great, but you have to follow my house rules, woman; if you don’t like it, you can fuck off for all I care.’
Merciless explained his reasoning in detail; it was true that someone may blindly trust someone only because they spoke some nice and believable phrases, especially on the first encounter. It was extremely absurd, to say the least, and Merciless was a creature who valued efficiency and practicality.
Silk, on the other hand, stopped in her tracks as if to think about something. Her eyes looked through the veil and could tell Black Tail wasn’t too far away; after all, this deal was horrific and horrendous, but if she didn’t choose quickly, she’d be left in this place, and she couldn’t allow that. As such, in clear desperation, she swallowed her pride and said to Merciless as such.
"GHAAAA!! FUCCCCKkk.... alright... fine... FINNE... you win, you little shit; but on this occasion, all of my requests must be completed precisely, do you understand?!"
Silk said to Merciless, who replied accordingly.
’Of course, but I need a fine print first before I agree to anything, and just to be on the safe side, I will be making the one making the contract via my race natural contract bestowal.’
"I can agree to that, but only if I write down my conditions first and foremost, and you can’t change them either since you are asking for such a big price in return. And if you cant except that then to hell with you, I will just wait till someone else comes by."
Silk recognizes Merciless as a threat and recognizes his desire for dominance. By selling herself, she has some control over her future. Being a pet was similar to being a slave, and the contract of a vampire was harsh and unforgiving to both parties. It could even harm omnilocked or omnipotent beings, as the conditions and punishment were absolute, acting as a neutral force to target both targets if the terms of service were not met.
These circumstances really hit Merciless in a sensitive region; in a manner, he was attempting to force her hands, but in the end, she broke some shackles and gained control. But Brunhilde handed him the seal of this being for a reason, albeit unknown to him, but if he understood how she worked then this woman’s existence had to be for something important in the future. So he counted his loss in this aspect, an used logical common sense, and said, "It’s my loss." inwardly to himself.
’Fine, fine, I will make the contract mentally, and you could implement your conditions on it; but, I will include my terms as well after you are done writing yours.’
"Fine, create, and send it to me, and I will fill it up with what I want, and send it back to you, and from there send it back to me so I can see what you want before I sign the official condition."
With that said, Merciless began to use some of Substance’s memories from Jordan on the art of contract-making, turning it into a mental aspect. From there, he used Abadis’s telepathy to send it to Silk, who then began to write her conditions and send them back to Merciless after she stated what she wanted.
Merciless, of course, decided to review her terms of service, and when he did, he was surprised to learn that they weren’t as harsh as he had first expected.
