Once, I wanted to be a good person

After she had tidied up, she coiled her black hair that had come loose at some unknown time, then cautiously exited her room and came to the one opposite.

Upon entering the room across from hers, Lord Devil sat surrounded by mist on the sofa, watching her with evident interest.

She knelt on the ground respectfully, "Mr. Devil."

Mr. Devil hummed in response, then said, "Do you like the power I bestowed upon you?"

Miaomiao, with her head bowed, replied softly, "I like it."

Mr. Devil gestured for her to come over.

Miaomiao obediently walked over.

Then Mr. Devil took one of her hands in his.

Miaomiao couldn't help but tremble slightly, yet she dared not resist.

Fang Ze held her hand but did not make any other movement, quietly waiting instead.

After a moment, sure enough, a flood of information suddenly appeared in his mind. It was about Miaomiao's Awakening Ability.

A hint of pleasure appeared on Fang Ze's face, shrouded in mist.

Indeed, his conjecture was correct.

If the investigation room could appraise items and even hear people's thoughts, then there was no reason it couldn't appraise someone's Awakening Ability.

And recalling the information in his mind, Fang Ze looked at Miaomiao with a bit of surprise.

"Darkness."

That was Miaomiao's ability, summed up in two simple words.

But the ability itself was far from simple.

"Wherever it reaches, there is darkness."

"All objects will be engulfed by the darkness, covered, duplicated. And a Dark World is formed."

"Interweaving of light and shadow."

"In the world of light, living beings will be infected by the darkness, gaining greater strength, a more formidable defensive power."

"In the duplicated Dark World, items and creatures could be animated, turning into shadow clones, endowed with Extraordinary Power, transforming into Disaster Creatures, and walking in the light."

According to Fang Ze's understanding,

Miaomiao's Awakening Ability was somewhat similar to his own, possessing two separate abilities at the initial stage.

After unleashing her Dark Domain,

First, she could infect creatures, making them stronger.

Second, she could create a dark clone of everything, which she could then animate at will, imbuing them with Extraordinary Power (the Power of Laws), transforming them into Disaster Creatures with new life.

In other words, whenever Miaomiao wished, she could infect the beings around her, not only making those creatures stronger but also producing a shadow clone, endowing that clone with life, and turning it into a Disaster Creature.

All in all, Fang Ze thought this ability was very strong.

Although devoid of direct offensive capabilities, it was especially suited for characters like Miaomiao who "farmed," developing their forces.

The only problem was... Miaomiao's growth period would probably be quite long.

Thinking this, Fang Ze released Miaomiao's hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"The ability I bestowed upon you suits your current situation very well."

"The Disasters you are concerned about can all be solved with ease."

Miaomiao, who had already known the details of her ability at the moment of her Awakening, nodded slightly.

Then Fang Ze continued to speak,

"However, you should not become complacent."

"Awakening is only the beginning of the Extraordinary Path."

"If you wish to continue growing stronger, you must seek guidance from the shadow clone of the Shadow Warrior I gave you whenever you have spare time."

"Have her teach you the ways of training, to improve your bodily strength, to purify and strengthen your Bloodline."

"Only then will you not let down my expectations of you."

Hearing Mr. Devil's teachings, Miaomiao knelt on the ground, "Yes, Mr. Devil."

Seeing Miaomiao obediently complying made Fang Ze nod in approval, then he said, "Good. You can go back now."

After speaking, he waved his hand, severing Miaomiao's connection.

Watching Miaomiao's figure disappear from the spot, Fang Ze also dispelled the disguise of the investigation room.

He then stretched lazily, went over to the desk, and began to inspect his investigative findings for the day.

Perhaps because he had not conducted any investigation that day, Fang Ze did not have high hopes for the day's findings.

So when Fang Ze saw nothing but the familiar puddle of "mud" on the table, his heart felt neither surprise nor excitement. He simply thought... everything was as expected.

However, when he picked up the lump of mud and dropped it to the ground,

a Shadow Warrior, standing around one meter ninety tall with a shapely figure and striking curves, emerged from the ground.

Clearly, this Shadow Warrior was different from Stick One, Stick Two, and Nv Dao encountered before. She seemed... more spiritually aware.

As she appeared, she knelt gracefully on the ground and said to Fang Ze in a soft voice, "My lord, your concubine has arrived."

Looking at the woman before him, shrouded in black but with a discernibly delicate appearance, Fang Ze slowly formed a question mark above his head: Hm? Had the Shadow Warrior leveled up?

........

Meanwhile, in Qingshan City, the slums.

Miaomiao jolted awake from her bed.

After waking up, she was dazed for a moment before placing her hands in front of her eyes...

There were no lights on in the room, and it was pitch black, with nothing visible.

But she paid no mind and closed her eyes, summoning a thought.

Endless darkness poured from her being.

The darkness spread through the room like a living thing. Everywhere it reached turned black.

Only when the darkness began to seep out of the room did Miaomiao stop using her ability.
