After naming his Soul Pet No. 4, Wen Yu then observed Facelessâs abilities.
Faceless:
Level: Early Stage Level 4.
This creature is an unknown product of Human Creations, formed by a fusion of various plants, fungi, microbes, and other biological matter. Catalyzed and transformed by Demonic Qi, this unknown being came to life!
Skill Number One: Human Creations (F-Class, Passive Skill): This creature is an artificial product. Although it exhibits signs of life, it doesnât possess a Soul, having only very basic instincts. This life form can achieve Evolution by devouring the corpses of mutant creatures. However, it cannot obtain skills through Evolution. Skills must be obtained through special means!
Skill Number Two: Manipulate (A-Class, Active Ability): The creature can split off white threads from its body that can enter other organisms. These white threads infiltrate the brains of other organisms to exert direct control. However, it cannot control organisms of a level equal to or higher than its own.
Skill Number Three: Perfect Duplication (SSS-Class, Active Ability): By absorbing the bodily tissues of other organisms, it can transform into their likeness. However, the duplicated organisms must not exceed its own level, and certain special organisms cannot be duplicated!
Upon reading Facelessâs description, Wen Yu immediately frowned.
This thing, although categorized as a living organism, is actually a creation of mankind!
"Cyclops, who did you say that black-robed man belongs to again?"
"WOOF WOOF."
"The Demon Worship Sect!"
Upon hearing Cyclopsâs response, Wen Yu nodded.
The title "Demon Worship Sect" says it all about the true nature of this organization. Moreover, from Facelessâs introduction, one could deduce the powerful forces backing the Demon Worship Sect! Itâs a creature created by humans and even received recognition from the Dominator. I definitely wouldnât believe it if one claimed there were no special talents or measures within this sect.
He examined Facelessâs three skills again.
The Human Creations ability is nothing but a hindrance, providing restriction after restriction. It isnât necessary at all for me to use Soul Pet Augmentation. The Manipulate ability isnât bad, but it offers no benefit when it comes to my personal growth. Even if I augmented myself with this ability, it would be better to let Faceless use it directly. The Perfect Duplication ability, however, seems a bit more interesting.
After contemplating for a while, Wen Yu addressed Star.
"Shed some of your blood."
At that moment, Star, worried Wen Yu had discovered his recent minor actions, looked distracted. He only responded after a pause, finally understanding Wen Yuâs intention.
Star forcefully tore his scales, reluctantly squeezing out a little blood and dripping it onto Faceless, which Wen Yu held out.
The bright red blood entered Facelessâs body, like a drop of boiling water into hot oil. Facelessâs entire form began to tremble violently.
After a moment, once Faceless had consumed all of Starâs blood, there were no changes to its appearance other than a slight increase in size.
Wen Yu frowned at this, contemplated for a moment, then spoke again.
"Try again, but more this time!"
Star grimaced, grumbling quietly as he reluctantly tore open the Scale Armor on his arm. A large amount of blood flowed out and was completely absorbed by Faceless.
Facelessâs entire body looked as if it were about to explode! The crimson Dragon Blood coursed within it before being slowly assimilated and absorbed.
And then... nothing happened!
Wen Yu sighed heavily, his expression a little grim.
Facelessâs Perfect Duplication ability could only mimic common creatures. Star, as the most powerful force in Wen Yuâs arsenal, was anything but ordinary!
According to my calculations, divine beast species should be considered special creatures. This is to be expected. If Facelessâs Perfect Duplication could perfectly mimic the power of divine beast species, it would certainly be an Esoteric Level skill rather than its current SSS-Class.
Observing Faceless in his hand, Wen Yu mulled it over for a while before cutting his finger and letting a few drops of his blood drip onto Facelessâs body.
After Faceless consumed Wen Yuâs blood, it immediately underwent a different change than when it had consumed Starâs blood.
Its body shape constantly changed. The absorbed blood slowly dissipated as various organs began to form within its transforming body.
The scene was rather grotesque. Thankfully, Faceless didnât take long to reshape itself; in only about ten seconds, it had transformed into a perfect copy of Wen Yu.
"Attack me."
Wen Yu gave a simple command, but Faceless didnât move an inch.
Frowning slightly, Wen Yu realized Faceless lacked intelligence and couldnât comprehend his instructions.
In that case, how about communicating with it through the power of the soul bond?
As Wen Yuâs thought was quickly conveyed to The Fourth Soul, the imitation Wen Yu finally moved!
The Faceless, now appearing as Wen Yu, threw a punch at the real Wen Yu. They then exchanged a few blows.
"Stop!"
With a mental command from Wen Yu, Faceless immediately halted. Wen Yu then summarized its performance.
Its physical abilities are identical to mine; it even replicated my fighting stance perfectly and inherited all the abilities of my Soul Beasts. It seems that other than divine beast species, Faceless can replicate any other life form. I wonder about the Demon Tribe?
Unfortunately, I donât have any Demon Tribe body tissue at the moment; otherwise, I could test whether Faceless can duplicate the Demon Tribeâs power.
"Dissipate."
Following Wen Yuâs simple command, the imitation Wen Yu gradually began to melt. Within a very short time, it reverted to its original dough-like shape.
He returned Faceless to the 4th Soul Realm, and Wen Yu nodded, satisfied.
Although itâs a pity it canât replicate Starâs power, the ability to replicate Cyclopsâs power and that of a professionist is enough! Cyclopsâs combat power is unquestionably at the peak of this world. It will be quite challenging to find a soul pet that isnât weaker than Cyclops! Not to mention it can also duplicate the power of a professionist.
Just then, Wen Yu suddenly had a thought.
If I could get Faceless to replicate the power of Sequence Number 1, then no matter how strong they are, they definitely couldnât defeat me!
He glanced at Star and Cyclops, who stood obediently to one side. Then, sinking his consciousness back into the 4th Soul Realm, Wen Yu nodded in satisfaction as he observed the unmoving Faceless lying within.
