The Snake Woman Lilith is currently undergoing a physical transformation. Her original body, composed of flesh and blood, is being gradually replaced by shadow energy, Avatar into a semi-energy life form. This is because the deep fusion between Lilith and the mask has made Lilith want to Integration into the mask.

Of course, the Snake Woman didn't have to do this. Just like other people who wear Shadow Mask, although they are controlled by Lu Li's will inside, it's just will control. The Snake Woman Lilith's approach is to completely merge herself with Lu Li's will and make it her only purpose. Therefore, Lilith does not resist becoming a half-energy life form.

Lu Li gradually realized that most of his battles now relied on shadows or units, and even if he fully unleashed his original power to control his body, it might not be as effective as the monsters in the dungeon.

As a human, Lu Li was well aware of the capabilities of his own body, and therefore understood how terrifying the bodies of monsters were compared to human bodies, and what advantages they possessed.

If there is still plenty of time, then with Lu Li's current ability to manipulate genes, Lu Li could train his body to its limits through endocrine and various bodily reactions in just six months. In another year or two, he could alter his genes and push his body to a superhuman level.

However, after observing that Lilith's flesh and blood body was beginning to become semi-energy due to the Shadow Mask, Lu Li had a bold idea. After roughly imagining it, Lu Li felt that this idea was indeed quite feasible.

Under Lu Li's will, the eight masks floated up. The mask on Lilith's arm also shimmered with a dark light. The Shadow Assassin's mask had black patterns on its face and a single horn pointing upwards between its eyebrows. Under the influence of Shadow Magic, a Shadow Assassin appeared and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Li.

The Claw Ghost's mask was a mask with sharp teeth showing in its mouth and two spiral horns on its temples. Under the Shadow Magic, the Claw Ghost also revealed its form and knelt down in front of Lu Li.

The mask on the Snake Woman Lilith's arm was entirely covered in black patterns, and her empty eyes seemed to be staring at you. Now, looking at Lu Li, her snake eyes were filled with infatuation, and her snake tail writhed restlessly behind her.

The other six masks floated in the air, emitting a dim light. Lu Li took out the activated biological Plankton Algae card given to him after clearing the dungeon and used it once. A clump of red worm-like matter floated out and attached itself to one of the masks.

Red, Activated Plankton Algae clung to the mask, emitting a pale red glow. Rooted in the mask, it absorbed the Shadow Magic within, attempting to extract its characteristics and develop into an activated organism primarily composed of Plankton Algae.

At this moment, several other masks floated around, with Shadow Magic flowing within them. The mask attached to the activated algae shone with a dark light, which then seeped back into the Plankton Algae, and Lu Li's will was also injected into it.

The consciousness of Plankton Species is formed by the Aggregation of hundreds or thousands of individual Plankton Algae. When there are not enough Plankton Algae, its will is close to zero. As Lu Li's will invaded, all these Plankton Algae changed from red to dark black.

Lu Li's will penetrated deep into the core of the Plankton Algae, firmly imprinting its own mark upon its interior. Behind the mask, a shadow-like substance floated and wriggled, eventually transforming into energy and being absorbed into the mask.

The mask was currently completely black and unremarkable, with a layer of invisible Plankton clinging to it. After carefully sensing the mask, Lu Li handed it, along with all the other spare masks, to the Shadow Assassin beside him.

The Shadow Assassin, mask in hand, nodded. Lu Li's command was instantly transmitted into his mind. His figure vanished into the shadows, leaving only his soft chanting. "As you command, my master!"

"It's up to you now. Don't go out. The Claw Ghost will obey your commands. Don't let anyone find out." Lu Li canceled the summoning of the Claw Ghost, handed the mask to Lilith, and said to her, "At the same time, don't let anyone disturb me. If we are exposed, eliminate them first without causing a big commotion."

After giving the orders, the shadow behind Lu Li rose up, enveloping Lu Li and forming a giant cocoon. Surrounded by darkness, Lu Li entered a deep sleep. Lilith wriggled her snake tail, circling the black shadow cocoon, pressing her beautiful body against it, feeling the rhythm within, and revealing a fascinated gaze. It was so good to be able to accompany her master like this.

Meanwhile, the Shadow Assassin, carrying six Shadow Mask, evaded the ubiquitous surveillance cameras and the gazes of passersby, and infiltrated the city. Following Lu Li's orders, he began distributing the Shadow Mask.

A broken-down salesman puts one in his briefcase, a taxi driver puts one in his trunk, a prostitute turns around and finds one on a lamppost, a hoodlum drinking beer and bragging to his underlings about almost unlocking his genetic potential finds one on the sink while using the restroom, and an idle college graduate finds one in his dorm room after failing a job interview.

Next to each mask was a note with a small note that read, "I hope you can make good use of it."

Most people took it as a prank, but inexplicably, they all kept those strangely shaped masks. Looking at those masks that seemed to be alive, it was as if a suggestion had been planted in their minds, and they firmly remembered the mask.

Some people believe this is a divine intervention, like a hoodlum who fantasizes about unlocking his genetic potential. Without much thought, he puts on the mask, and the Shadow Magic flows from his face into his body, stimulating it and causing mutations.

After ensuring that these people had put away their masks, the Shadow Assassin, wearing the last black mask, found the final host. This person was holed up at home, engrossed in various bloody and violent games, skillfully controlling monsters to torture and kill the survivors.

Fu Bin, Lu Li's classmate, was usually timid and cowardly, often bullied, and a doormat in the class. Lu Li didn't interact with him much, only occasionally seeing him being bullied and his clenched fists that he dared not throw. When the plan began, and Lu Li was searching for hosts for the masks, he left the other masks to the Shadow Assassin to judge for himself. But for the black mask, Lu Li thought of Fu Bin; he should be very suitable for that mask...

Fu Bin, who was playing video games in his bedroom, suddenly heard a cold voice behind him. "Fu Bin?"
