"So annoying, I hate turning into a cat!"
After finishing everything, Suzu looked at her paws with disgust.
If it weren't for avoiding trouble, why would she turn into a cat to kill someone?
No witnesses, no surveillance, who would think a cat committed murder?
"Just to be safe, let me see if there's anything alive around here."
Suzu emitted waves of Spiritual Power from her body, scanning the surroundings like radar.
Cockroaches, mosquitoes, moths...
Suddenly, she looked sharply at the wall.
On the wall, a crow stood quietly, cocking its head, eyes filled with doubt.
Suzu bared her teeth, eyes hostile:
"Damn crow! Are you following me?!"
The crow kept its head cocked, staring intently at Suzu.
Suzu was anxious, her whole body radiated killing intent, and with a 'meow', she pounced towards the wall.
The crow had the black Demon Snake coiled around it, easily dodging Suzu's attack.
Next, its whole body left a phantom at the spot and in the next second appeared in mid-air.
Suzu missed, the crow cocked its head and looked at the angry Suzu, then at the corpse on the ground, thoughtfully flapping its wings and leaving.
"Damn crow wasn't sent by Li Yang to monitor me? Then what's it doing here?"
Suzu's little cat face showed human-like confusion, then haughtily waved her paw:
"It's just a crow, who can know what the Little Crow is thinking?"
...
Rental apartment.
The kitchen smelled of fragrant rice.
Li Yang carried a plate of fried rice to the desk.
The crow returned from outside, stood on the cage, tilting its head to look at Li Yang.
Li Yang didn't know what the crow was observing every day.
Li Yang picked out bits of meat from the fried rice and placed them in the crow's feed tray, pouring the remaining rice into the black dog Xiaohai's food bowl.
He left some for when Suzu returned.
After eating, Li Yang opened a locked cabinet and took out the Desire Magic Jar.
With runes flashing in his eyes, concentrated Desire Power surged into the Desire Magic Jar.
The jar was filled with black fog, gradually liquefying into a potion.
Li Yang squinted his eyes at the Desire Potion, as if two different abysses were attracting each other.
Tonight, he would embark on the path of the Extraordinary.
His heart was pounding fiercely.
Li Yang lifted the Desire Magic Jar, tilted his head back, and poured the Desire Potion down his throat.
He put down the Desire Potion, lit a cigarette, and waited quietly for his transformation.
Gradually, he felt his body temperature dropping, his power growing insanely.
Li Yang suddenly looked surprised, touching his heart.
His body surface temperature dropped lower, his heart stopped beating!
Li Yang quickly turned his head to look in the mirror, taking in all of his current changes.
The blood color was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The reflection in the mirror was like a dead man, a corpse.
"Is this, a zombie?!"
Liu City's desire was 'to make everyone fear him.'
So, the power of this Desire Potion transformed into... Hell Undead!
He could feel his bones were hard, immensely strong, able to easily break through walls.
This power was intoxicating.
He wasn't worried about his appearance problem, he knew he could turn back to normal at any time.
At that moment, eerie runes flickered in his eyes.
The runes exuded a ghostly black light.
Then, black runes enveloped him.
Normally, the Desire Potion had already transformed Li Yang into an Extraordinary Creature, so the transformation should have ended.
But the black runes in his eyes wanted to continue this transformation.
A type of Extraordinary's evolution.
Li Yang furrowed his brow.
"Does this mean, because I'm the Magic Jar's owner, there's a second transformation?"
Li Yang was wrapped in black light, like a cocoon.
The black cocoon emitted an unbearably eerie aura.
Like a sudden cold wind in June.
The black dog Xiaohai trembled, not daring to stick out its tongue, tail tightly tucked, head lowered to the ground.
The crow's eyes were filled with unease, its body shook like it was sifting bran.
Li Yang exuded a terrifying pressure from his body.
The air seemed to have thickened.
The two Hell creatures were utterly frightened.
'Boom!!'
Thunder rumbled outside, but the rain didn't fall.
The heavens seemed to emit a voice of wrath due to the birth of a terrifying Demon.
The black light on Li Yang's body was completely absorbed by his flesh, the transformation finally ended.
The starlit sky dimmed, the moon obscured by dark clouds.
With a clap of thunder, wild winds erupted, heavy rain poured down!
The wailing wind coupled with the pouring rain was like the heavens crying!
The heavens were crying for the birth of a terrifying entity!
Xiaohai saw Li Yang's current form and widened its dog eyes in shock.
Its entire body immediately crouched on the ground, its trembling intensified.
The crow landed and cautiously bowed its head, its wings crossed in front of it.
Li Yang at this moment no longer resembled a human.
In the mirror stood a skeleton!
The chilling aura and overwhelming pressure gave every living being a terrifying sense of oppression.
In the eye sockets, were two clusters of black Soul Fires.
Two runes, much like pupils, resided at the center of the Soul Fires.
Li Yang's eyes held Soul Fires that flickered, showing his unrest.
Mystical information flowed into his mind.
[King of Hell—Death God]
[Death God is the highest-ranking Demon, each Rank (Spiritual Power) increase grants a Talent.]
(Other Demons have at most four Talents.)
[When the Death God's Spiritual Power surpasses Tier Nine, the Death God will truly Ascend to Divinity, gaining the authority of a god.]
[Newly born Death God, strive to ascend the divine throne!]
Li Yang's eye flames danced intensely.
Am I now a newborn Death God?
After Tier Nine, upon Ascension to Divinity, I'd gain divine authority?
Does a god truly exist in this world?
Pondering for a moment, Li Yang relaxed, the shock in his heart diminishing slightly.
Of course, if Demons exist, why wouldn't gods?
Then, are there Angels in this world?
Before he could contemplate further, mystical information kept flowing in.
[Rank (Spiritual Power): Tier Two]
[Talent: Law of Evil Magic]
[Law of Evil Magic: The Death God's power source and Undying Body derives from Demons.]
[As the number of Demons increases and their power strengthens, the Death God's Spiritual Power rises, progressing.]
[As long as one Demon exists in the world, the Death God remains immortal.]
[If all Demons disappear from the world, the Death God will also vanish.]
[Talent: Creating Undead]
[Creating Undead: The Death God can cast magic on corpses to create unintelligent undead minions.]
[The Death God can cast magic on those nearing death, transforming them into Living Dead.]
[Living Dead possess intelligence, wield the power of low-level zombies, under the Death God's control over their life and death.]
Li Yang dismissed his Demon form, sat in the chair, and fell into deep thought.
The mystical information contained vast hidden meanings he needed to slowly digest.
