Shen Hao immediately unleashed the power of his Demon Domain.
But this time he doesn't plan to expand the Demon Domain too much, since many high-level players are currently eyeing this city.
If the Demon Domain reappears, who knows what will happen?
He is now able to skillfully control the Demon Domain, and is very familiar with its use and mechanics.
The Demon Domain reappeared, this time only covering an area of a few hundred meters in radius.
Shen Hao did not pull anyone into the Demon Domain, so no one could see Demon Domain existence, nor would they have any doubts about its Demon Domain.
He brought Xiaobai into the Demon Domain as well, and sure enough, he found that shadow there.
This is the physical form of an extraordinary being; even if its will has been erased, its physical form will not easily disappear.
The shadow had undergone a tremendous change; it had lost its human characteristics and become extremely deformed, enormous, and indescribable.
This shadow occupied almost the entire space of the Demon Domain.
The current Demon Domain is three to four hundred meters in diameter, but it still cannot fully reveal the shadow.
What he saw was only a tiny fraction of the shadow.
The shadow was so large that he would probably have to expand his Demon Domain to be roughly the size of the city to see its full form.
Shen Hao continued to expand the Demon Domain. As long as no one was pulled into the Demon Domain, no one would know that the Demon Domain had appeared.
Those outside the Demon Domain can never see this realm.
When he magnified the Demon Domain to be roughly the size of the city, he finally glimpsed the full extent of this shadow.
Without the constraints of Contractors, this shadow covered almost the entire city.
If He were still conscious, He could probably destroy most of the city with a flick of His hand.
However, he didn't need to worry that Xiaobai's core wouldn't be able to contain this enormous thing.
Since the shadow is not a physical entity, and since the Contractor can keep the shadow within their body through a contract, Xiaobai should also be able to absorb and fuse with this shadow.
Shen Hao looked at Xiaobai, and the mechanism on its chest opened, revealing its core.
It was a spherical object emitting a white glow; its material was unknown.
The light was soft, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
Shen Hao grabbed the shadow on the ground. He was the ruler of the Demon Domain, and everything in the Demon Domain was under his control.
The shadow began to shrink under his will, gradually coalescing into a ball.
He placed the shadow at the core of Xiaobai's body. The Doll Core flew out of Xiaobai's body, and the surrounding light gradually spread, enveloping the shadow.
The shadow that had been enveloped began to melt away.
The black shadow gradually dimmed, and energy continuously entered the Doll Core.
However, the power contained within that shadow was too great, and this situation continued for a long time, with less than one-tenth of the shadow melting away.
This left Shen Hao somewhat helpless, because the appearance of the Demon Domain would continuously consume Demon Power.
Although he didn't pull anyone into the Demon Domain, which reduced his energy expenditure considerably, the continuous drain on his resources was still heartbreaking.
Fortunately, this situation did not continue. After the Doll Core incorporated some of the power of the shadows, the white light gradually intensified, becoming somewhat dazzling.
The shadow melted faster, and in no time a third of it had melted away.
Then the light from the Doll Core intensified, and half of the shadow was quickly melted away, at an increasingly rapid pace, until it disappeared completely in no time.
The Doll Core erupted with a burst of colorful light, a light that was incredibly dazzling and brilliant.
Shen Hao was happy about this change because it meant he had succeeded.
The Doll Core successfully absorbed and merged with the shadow, then returned to Xiaobai's body.
Xiaobai opened her eyes, looked at him, and seemed very excited.
Because it sensed the changes within itself, changes that were more intense than those brought about by leveling up.
"Your doll has merged with an extraordinary being and gained new abilities."
Upon hearing the system notification, Shen Hao immediately checked the puppet's condition.
The doll has gained a new ability.
"Shadow Controller, you are the king of shadows, all the shadows in the world are under your control."
The description of this ability is simple, but the few words reveal its power; it is an ability related to the control of shadows.
But what exactly it is, he'll have to figure out later.
Shen Hao immediately withdrew his Demon Domain and returned to his room. He looked at Xiaobai, Xiaobai smiled back at him.
He noticed the doll's shadow, which had become deeper and more distinct from his own.
However, the doll's shadow did not become deformed, indicating that it had completely merged with the power of the shadow.
This is much better than that half-baked Contractor.
Actually, this shadow is quite formidable, and there's a reason why we had no chance to fight back against it.
The main reason is that he was imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld Finger for too long and his power was constantly being drained. After so many years, his power is probably less than one-tenth of what it used to be.
Moreover, He was bound by His Contractor and unable to exert His full power.
Therefore, when faced with his Demon Domain, they didn't even have a chance to escape.
Xiaobai will be able to obtain His body and fully integrate with it, which should result in a significant improvement.
He commanded Xiaobai White to use its newly acquired ability, and the puppet immediately took action, causing the shadows of all the items in the house to sway.
The movement of the shadow caused the objects themselves to sway; his cup fell over, the chair fell over, and the table fell over as well.
He thought it was over, but little did he know it was just the beginning.
Soon, the entire building began to shake, as if an earthquake was about to occur.
"Stop! Stop it now!"
Shen Hao hurriedly stopped it from continuing, because he believed that if it continued, the entire building would collapse.
The dead aren't the problem; the real issue is that he'll have nowhere to live.
The puppet stopped immediately, and the ground stopped shaking.
Shen Hao roughly guessed Xiaobai's new ability: to control shadows, and shadows could affect objects themselves.
It is night now, and night is the shadow of this planet, so it should be the most powerful in the darkness.
But even during the day, she should possess considerable strength.
Moreover, this ability should not be limited to this; otherwise, he could not be called the king of the shadows.
Although our understanding of this ability is still incomplete, Xiaobai is already a very powerful being.
Her base stats aren't particularly high, but she possesses exceptional survivability, a bizarre ability to manipulate shadows, and the capacity to Bewitch the Heart.
This is definitely a great helper.
He believed that this doll would soon become "the most terrifying existence under the Demon."
