"With an equal contract, both sides hold half the rope. Now that your subordinate has reached Legendary level, she's gained the power to tug at the contract you signed with her."

"Under normal circumstances, enslaving someone a rank below you is almost foolproof."
"Even if you're injured or something unexpected happens, it's rare for a slave to rebel and turn on their master."
"But enslaving someone of the same rank? That's a huge risk."
"So, Hulk, until you hit Arch Lord yourself, keep the number of Legendary-level fighters under you to five or fewer."
"And that's assuming they're all lower-tier Legendary."
