Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Tao Yu assessed the changes for a moment and was very satisfied with them.

Although his whole body emitted an ominous aura and he didn't look like a good person,

this power from opening the great door is purely going to attract attention and hostility on the level of extraordinaries, possibly similar to the follower of an evil existence, it won't attract high-level scrutiny like using Inherent Time Control too much—a power that's very orthodox yet could draw the attention of higher beings!

In this world itself, there are also plenty of evil forces; it's like I've been whitewashed into a local.

From foreigner to local thug?

With a thought from Tao Yu, a layer of shadow covered him completely, turning him into someone who looked like the shadowy figures from Detective Conan.

Who can recognize me now?

A new disguise was born...

"Next time I encounter Zilinges, I'll make sure he can't return."

Tao Yu gradually pushed the black muck of the blessing back into the Innate Barrier.

Because the reserve capacity within the Innate Barrier is ten times his own magical power!

So even if he only absorbs part of it for a temporary enhancement, Tao Yu felt it wouldn't be much different from his peak condition.

It's just a completely different style that's all.

The only troublesome thing is, this ominous scent is too strong; in worlds where Evil Gods actually roam, it might lead to some unnecessary misunderstandings.

Even though I am a sunny and cheerful good person, I could be mistaken for a follower of the Heretic God or something. I need to be careful about when I use it, and it requires a bit of preparation beforehand.

"Praying in advance when it's needed shouldn't be a problem, and after praying, I can directly fill my Etheric Body with Divinity, covering even the surface, to prevent things like divination."

"It's like getting another method to deal with troubles. But then again, the 'assassin' path corresponding to 'Primeval Witch,' a spreader of disasters, was never a clean thing to begin with..."

Tao Yu felt speechless for a moment.

How did I end up becoming dirty too?

"But now is the perfect time for me to digest the Magic Potion."

With his powers not fully cleansed and not safe to use freely, Tao Yu definitely wouldn't have been so reckless,

but now, he might give it a try...

...

He placed Zilinges's scab at the tavern specified by his arrangement with The Hanged Man.

Then Tao Yu headed towards the meeting place of Mr. A.

"The strength of Mr. A is unclear, but since he could kill Eve's former boss, he must be around Sequence Five. Considering the sense of danger when we met last time, I'm certain I could confront him after prayer."

"And it's not like I'm trying to defeat him, just probing a bit should be no problem. He too prefers to stay in the shadows..."

Tao Yu changed his appearance and took on a new disguise.

Zilinges was Sequence Six, and he had something like 'Writhing Hunger,' similar to Mr. A's power.

To some extent, it can serve as a reference.

If it weren't for the blessing, Tao Yu would have stayed as far away as possible to avoid trouble.

But now, he was quite confident about probing the situation.

If the other party only gave off the same vibe as last time, then there would be no problem. They also wouldn't dare to escalate things if they had strong hidden cards.

It shouldn't force out his Innate Barrier.

And as a last resort, he still had over a million Yuan Force.

"But shouldn't temptation be done with words? Why do I have to use my hands?"

Tao Yu arrived in the alley next to the house where Mr. A's meetings were held, and again felt somewhat speechless.

But never mind that, using hands is convenient!

After taking out some ordinary materials and setting up a simple Spiritual Wall for a crude ritual, Tao Yu began to pray directly,

"In my name,

"As a Pioneer who does not belong to this world..."

As Tao Yu finished his three-part prayer, the next moment he stuffed a handful of black mud into his own body.

As Tao Yu was enveloped by the shadow, he completely turned into a little black figure.

An evil, ominous aura of corruption instantaneously spread out.

The fragile Spiritual Wall thunderously shattered, seemingly unleashing a gust of wind.

There was no need for Tao Yu to charge in; in that moment, a shadow rapidly emerged from the window's silhouette, coalescing into the trace of Mr. A.

It was the first time Tao Yu had seen Mr. A's appearance.

Well, look at that, pretty handsome, and the fellow is also skilled at playing with shadows.

After Tao Yu exhibited this aura and malice, the other party did not attack immediately upon appearing but instead spoke solemnly,

"Who are you, and what are you doing?"

This made Tao Yu think the other was rather silly.

Since the other party was also skilled with shadows, Tao Yu, who had become a little black figure, immediately adopted a fanatical tone and said,

"Let's see if you're worthy of Mr. A's title."

The next moment, even more evil, ominous shadows surged from Tao Yu, wrapping towards Mr. A.

As Tao Yu launched his attack, Mr. A used shadows to defend himself while seeming to complete some kind of switch, making Tao Yu feel as though something nasty was permeating the air around them; even though he was engulfed in shadow, it seemed it could still corrode his body.

However, with the [One Certificate, Forever Valid], he wasn't worried about this kind of weakening ability.

The shadows in the narrow alley danced like a horde of demons, with various hands reaching out to grab Mr. A.

As someone equally skilled in shadow manipulation, Mr. A could only manage a difficult defense.

The shadows controlled by Mr. A were numerous and even looked more substantial than those controlled by Tao Yu at first glance.

But whenever their shadows collided, they were often devoured by the opposing shadows, which turned into helpers for the other side!

Meanwhile, Tao Yu activated [Provocation], and with the enhancement of the black mud and his Innate Demon Body's power, he opened fire and taunted,

"Hah, your strength is mediocre at best. How did you manage to obtain the title of a divine envoy? No wonder you need to cooperate with a witch to achieve anything, disgraceful!"

Tao Yu didn't know the specifics of their cooperation, but judging from Eve's attitude, there was definitely a partnership, and it was also a double entendre mocking him for using that witch's soul power.

His objective this time was just to probe the strength, to facilitate planning for future actions, and to clarify his current level. The provocation was just a bonus...

But right then, it seemed that [Provocation] took effect. A seemingly innocuous statement immediately broke through Mr. A's emotional defenses and agitated him.

Just as Tao Yu's shadow was about to break the blockade and seize Mr. A, he suddenly flicked a gold coin at Tao Yu.

The next moment Tao Yu's shadow, which had been overwhelmingly dominant, weakened significantly, becoming caught in a stalemate with the opponent's shadow.

Tao Yu was somewhat surprised.

"What's this?"

Taking advantage of this brief interval, Tao Yu suddenly felt a sense of unease because Mr. A, with a trace of fanaticism on his face, adopted a praying pose.

This instantly made Tao Yu withdraw his attack and then he dove into the shadows without a trace.

And Mr. A, who had assumed the praying stance, also showed a moment of hesitation before quickly returning inside the house, back to the basement, and began praying in front of an inverted idol as though seeking an oracle...

...

Meanwhile, in a secluded place away from the shadows, Tao Yu also let out a sigh of relief. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Has he gone mad? Isn't he a follower of the Evil God? How dare he! This is Becland..."

Tao Yu looked puzzled and uncertain. Either the True Creator was very powerful and fearless of the righteous gods, or the Aurora Society was truly made up of madmen, or perhaps both were true.

"But I've achieved my goal anyway. He plays with shadows, eh? Then I'll just have to turn the tables..."

Tao Yu turned and headed toward the direction of the 'Gentle Breeze' ballroom...

Black against black for powers that shun the light is convenient; even if one encounters a situation beyond their capacity, the other party would have concerns.

As for Eve, deal a heavy blow, and as for the other witches, just kill them.

Today, I am a temporary disciple of the 'True Creator'!
