Human instinct is to fear death. To overcome it requires extraordinary willpower. But for someone like Michael, who had only been a genie for a day, where would that extraordinary willpower come from?
Even though his talent was great, right now he was still in a state where he feared death one moment and wasn't afraid of it the next.
Given the current situation, if the system didn't scare him a bit, Michael really would give up on becoming a contractor.
[If you don't become a contractor, you cannot awaken god-level talent. With that mortal strength of yours, even the weakest kind of contractor could easily snap your neck.
After you die, I'll even give you a ticket to solitary confinement lasting a thousand years. So, you get it now, right?]
This was persuasion, but also a threat. Aside from the worst-case scenario and an even worse one, Michael had no other choice.
If he used that special knife to stab himself in the heart, he would have a chance to awaken god-level talent.
