Su Hui's life settled into a rhythm.
During the day, he would delve deep underground, to the shore of that dark golden blood lake, enduring soul-tearing pain as he frantically devoured the "blood of immortality," transforming the terrifying energy originating from a fifth-order being into experience for his own upgrades and nourishment for strengthening his physique.
At night, he would return to the villa, enjoying the tenderness and service of the women, and venting all the violent side effects of absorbing energy onto their soft, delicate bodies.
Under Su Hui's daily "training," Robin has become increasingly adept at mastering her ever-changing new abilities.
this day.
Outside, a fierce snowstorm raged, with biting winds howling and pounding against the metal walls of the safe zone, creating a sound like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
The whole world seemed to be frozen in an endless winter.
Deep underground, the cavity was warm as springtime, yet utterly silent.
Su Hui sat cross-legged on the edge of the dark golden blood lake, his eyes closed.
A drop of dark golden blood, heavy as a star, was suspended in front of him, slowly rotating.
With a thought, the drop of blood transformed into a stream of light and flew into his mouth.
boom!
The familiar, terrifying torrent of energy, seemingly capable of crushing even the soul, erupted within him once more.
Su Hui's body trembled violently, and the veins on his skin bulged and shone with an eerie dark golden luster.
The excruciating pain surged like a tide, but he suppressed it with his strong will.
The two talents, [Overlord's Body] and [Devouring Evolution], were operating at full power, frantically digesting the energy from this high-level being.
Just as he was immersing himself in this painful yet joyful improvement in his strength.
A completely different energy fluctuation appeared out of nowhere within his perception range.
This fluctuation was not strong; in fact, it could be described as somewhat weak.
However, its texture is completely different from any energy that Su Hui has ever come into contact with.
It is not as domineering, ancient, or aggressive as the Immortal Blood.
It was not as condensed and profound as Su Hui's own energy.
It's more like a gentle breeze brushing across the hillside, a wildflower quietly blooming, or a snowflake drifting onto the lake.
Light and pure, yet containing a profound law that understands all things.
This fluctuation seemed to penetrate directly through the thick rock layers and physical barriers, precisely "seeing" him.
Su Hui suddenly opened his eyes.
The dark gold tinge deep in his pupils, stained from devouring the blood of immortals, vanished instantly.
Instead, there is a calmness as sharp as a knife.
Merlin.
The name instantly popped into his mind.
Aside from the mysterious seventh-order demigod Bayonetta mentioned, he couldn't think of anyone else who could possess such peculiar and powerful strength.
Su Hui slowly stood up.
The energy he had just absorbed was still surging and roaring within him, but he had no time to channel it away.
He took a step forward, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Leaving the empty, desolate underground space, walking through the corridors of the Pandora Research Institute, and then taking a high-speed elevator up, Su Hui returned to the surface.
When the villa came into view again.
Su Hui stopped at the entrance to the living room.
The living room, which should have been bustling with activity, was now eerily quiet.
Emma, Tina, Claire, and even the sisters Mary and Robin, who had just become his women, stood on one side of the living room, each with a different expression.
Their faces showed curiosity, wariness, and above all, a deep sense of awe.
It was as if I had seen something beyond my comprehension.
Su Hui's gaze passed over them and landed in the center of the living room.
There, a person stood quietly.
A petite figure wearing a pure white hooded sweatshirt.
The fabric of the smock was extremely peculiar, as if it were woven from moonlight and stardust, flowing with a faint light visible to the naked eye, with countless tiny stardust and petal shadows appearing and disappearing within it.
The person who came was extremely petite, and looked to be less than 1.5 meters tall, completely covered by a large overcoat.
The huge hood covered most of her face, revealing only her smooth, fair chin and a pair of thin lips with a gentle smile.
In her hand, she held a flower cane entwined with an unknown white vine.
At the top of the flower cane, a golden flower bud, about to bloom, is radiating a soft and holy light.
A cascade of long, silvery-white hair fell from the edge of the hood, the ends slightly curled and shimmering with starlight.
She stood there quietly, as if she were not a living person, but a phantom that had stepped out of a myth.
The air in the entire living room became fresh and peaceful because of her presence.
The sounds of the violent wind and snow outside the window seemed to be isolated in another world.
Su Hui's pupils contracted slightly.
He couldn't sense any sense of oppression from this petite figure.
She was just like an ordinary, harmless girl.
However, the oppressive aura generated by Su Hui's [Overlord Body] vanished without a trace, as if a mud ox had entered the sea, within a meter of her body.
[Scanning for target...]
Scan failed!
[WARNING! The target contains extremely high-level dimensional laws, and the intensity of the information interference exceeds the host's current analytical limit!]
[WARNING! Target detected in 'Descent Clone' state, its actual level far exceeds the current manifest energy level!]
[Only partial information about the target is currently displayed!]
Name: Merlin Fiona
[Level: 60 (???)]
System notifications rang repeatedly in Su Hui's mind.
With a level as high as 60, Merlin standing in front of Su Hui at this moment is definitely a top-level Saint Realm cultivator according to the classification of extraordinary ranks.
And this is merely the power of one of his clones!
Su Hui had no doubt that in a real battle, the power his opponent displayed would definitely surpass the Saint Realm and reach the legendary level!
Looking at the girl in front of him.
A ripple of emotion stirred within Su Hui's heart.
He slowly walked into the living room, and the powerful aura emanating from his body, which had not yet fully subsided after absorbing the blood of immortality, unconsciously dissipated.
in the air,
It was as if invisible ripples were spreading out from him.
The women in the living room all felt a heavy pressure, and their breathing became labored.
Only that petite figure remained motionless, her smile unchanged.
It seemed that Su Hui's chilling aura was nothing more than a gentle breeze to her.

"You must be Mr. Su Hui?"
A clear, melodious sound, like the gentle tinkling of a wind chime, rang out in the living room.
The figure beneath the hood slightly raised its head.
Although he couldn't see her full face, Su Hui could sense that a pair of clear and deep eyes were piercing through the shadow of the hood, scrutinizing him with great interest.
"first meet."
With her other free hand, she gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt and, facing Su Hui, performed an ancient and standard court curtsy.
“I am Merlin Fiona.”
"I have come here in response to the invitation to cooperate."
Su Hui did not rush to respond to Merlin's greeting, but instead calmly swept his gaze over the tense women in the living room.
Emma, Tina, Claire, and the others visibly relaxed upon seeing him appear.
"You all leave first, leave this to me."
Under Su Hui's reassurance and signaling, the women didn't say much and left the villa one after another.
As the last figure disappeared through the doorway, only Su Hui and Merlin remained in the living room.
Su Hui's gaze fell once again on that petite figure.
Only then was he able to take a closer look at this legendary Grand Mage.
This is a girl who can almost be described as "exquisite".
She was exceptionally petite, like a porcelain doll, her slender frame completely enveloped by the white blouse that shimmered with starlight.
Her long, silvery-white hair cascaded down from the edge of her hood, incredibly smooth, with natural curls at the ends. A few ethereal, shimmering petals appeared and disappeared among her strands, rising and falling with her soft breaths.
Her skin was an almost transparent pale white, as if it had never seen the sun, so delicate that you couldn't see a single pore, like the finest white jade.
The shadow of the hood obscured most of her face, making it impossible for Su Hui to see what she looked like.
"As expected of the seventh-tier demigod that Bayonetta spoke of, who walks through countless worlds. Your power is even more astonishing than Bayonetta described."
Su Hui broke the silence first, his voice steady and calm.
He casually pointed to the sofa next to him.
"Please sit down, let's talk slowly."
"Mr. Su Hui, you flatter me."
Merlin's voice remained soft and melodious. She gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt, moved lightly, and sat down on the sofa with a dignified and proper posture, like a princess receiving an audience.
However, the moment she sat down...
Su Hui's next words, however, caused her perfect and elegant demeanor to collapse instantly.
"No. This is not a compliment. Even just a descending avatar, its power is astonishing."
"But this makes me even more curious: where is Merlin's true form now?"
The moment the words were spoken, the air in the living room seemed to freeze for a second.
Merlin's entire body froze.
She suddenly raised her head, and the huge hood slipped back due to the violent movement, revealing her face for the first time in its entirety.
That was a face that could eclipse all the beauty in the world. Mei, where are you, Lin Yongkong, Lin Zaizai...?
Her features were so exquisite that they resembled the most perfect creation of a god, but her blood-red pupils, which should have been as deep as the starry sky, were now wide open, filled with disbelief, shock, and panic.
Her small mouth opened slightly, she held the staff in front of her in a defensive posture, and looked at Su Hui with a surprised expression.
"You...how did you know?!"
Her voice was no longer ethereal and melodious; instead, it carried a hint of guilt and trembling, completely losing its previous composure and calmness.
She frantically tried to put the hood back on, but in her panic, she couldn't manage it.
"No...no! I...I am the original! What clone? I don't understand what you're talking about!"
She feigned composure, puffing out her not-so-ample chest, trying to mask the turmoil within with a forceful tone.
Su Hui remained silent.
He simply looked at her quietly, his eyes calm and unwavering, but the smile on his lips deepened.
Sometimes, silence is the best weapon.
