===
Baiming watched the countdown, which still had some time left before ending.
She canceled the Acheron character card.
The familiar visual blackout occurred.
But perhaps because of her continuously strengthening state,
Baiming could now vaguely sense Acheron standing in front of her.
She glanced at the panel:
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Acheron)]
[Lifespan: 240:59:51]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 35.2%), Acheron (Recharge: 1.4%), Star-shatterer]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (50.4%)]
The remaining time, like last time, was settled into a one-point-something percent recharge.
It wouldn't be wasted.
Immediately following, the reward settlement popped up:
[Reward Settlement: By impersonating Acheron, you have successfully collected a large amount of Emotional Value. The Host can acquire a subtle talent from the Acheron original.]
Please, not the Path of Nihility, don't give me a Nihility Path bonus!
Baiming silently prayed in her heart.
Then, just like last time, with a rush of numbness in her brain,
a vast amount of knowledge and images of blade practice flooded into her mind.
Unlike the straightforward intelligence boost from last time,
Baiming felt her current understanding of the blade had been elevated to a new level.
It looked like
she had gained Acheron's warrior talent.
And not her Nihility-related abilities.
At the same time,
the Xianzhou swordsmanship she had memorized over the past twenty days, along with the blade techniques she had created with Acheron,
were concretely retained in her mind.
"Good, good, this wasn't a waste of time after all."
Baiming breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a good thing the system wasn't so abstract as to burden her with a Nihility debuff.
It seemed the reward content was now clearer.
Whatever she created while impersonating a character could indeed be retained.
Now,
even if she had to impersonate Star-shatterer next,
she wasn't afraid of fighting the other Annihilation Gang Lords.
So.
It was time to begin the next impersonation.
Baiming focused her attention on the only character card that was lit up.
Soon,
the tall woman, almost entirely clad in white, appeared before Baiming.
This time, without waiting for the body to pull her in, Baiming actively rushed into Star-shatterer's body.
Quickly,
Baiming's consciousness cleared.
She felt the tight bodysuit clinging to her body, as well as the flowing garments hanging from her.
The long hair that nearly touched the floor.
And the star-ring-like structures floating in front of her face and around her lower legs.
"Is this your new body?"
Acheron examined the transformed woman before her with interest.
After the previous form disappeared,
a blurry figure remained on the spot, its appearance and gender unclear.
But Acheron felt that this must be Baiming's true self.
Is she constantly borrowing others' appearances because she lacks a body of her own?
Acheron pondered this,
but did not ask directly.
Instead, she curiously studied the beautiful Annihilation Gang Lord.
"Yes, Annihilation Gang Lord, Star-shatterer."
Baiming's voice also changed, becoming as melodious as a nightingale's song.
But this voice contained an undeniable hint of arrogance.
It made Acheron feel that this Star-shatterer seemed like the leader of a great organization.
And in the very instant Baiming spoke Star-shatterer's name,
Boom—!!!
An illusory roar suddenly erupted in their ears.
Not only Baiming, but even Acheron felt the extreme will of Destruction.
"...Nanook?!"
Baiming looked at Nanook, whose form was dripping with golden blood, appearing before her.
She hadn't even had time to leave the entrance to the Nihility.
She hadn't expected Nanook to come looking just by hearing her name.
Those golden eyes spanned space, even forcibly tearing through the creeping Nihility.
His eyes stared directly at this suddenly appearing, completely unfamiliar Emanator?
Strange.
This was not an Emanator created by him.
Nanook was certain of this, yet the body made him feel distinctly that it should have been forged by his own hands.
She had not walked the will of Destruction.
That was understandable.
From every angle, the person should be a nascent Emanator.
Yet Nanook could also perceive that
the controller of this body was not walking the Path of Destruction.
The soul huddled within Star-shatterer's body was incompatible with the physique.
Nanook could see this.
"You, Annihilation Gang Lord, Star-shatterer?"
Nanook questioned,
with an intense aura of Destruction, bearing down on Baiming.
Acheron instinctively moved to shield Baiming, ready to sweep away the threat.
Even if the opponent was an Aeon, she would draw her blade.
But 'Star-shatterer' placed a hand on Acheron's shoulder, shielding her behind her instead.
"Annihilation Gang Lord, Star-shatterer, who will be personally elevated by you from the ashes of the Emissary of Finality at some point in the future."
...
Interesting.
Nanook was intrigued.
Although he had recently been considering the Emissary of Harmony.
But,
a future Annihilation Gang Lord, Star-shatterer, born to destroy Harmony.
Appeared in an era and location where she should not exist.
Whose work was this?
Let him take a closer look.
And so,
He looked at Baiming.
Peering through Star-shatterer's appearance, he saw Baiming hidden within.
The aura of Destruction surged toward her.
But there was no intent to destroy Baiming.
A drop of golden blood fell from Nanook's eye.
It traveled across the distant star river and landed on Star-shatterer's forehead.
It swiftly seeped in, transforming into a pool of golden water that completely enveloped Baiming's soul.
The chilling power of Destruction, yet it was as docile as a lamb.
Baiming even felt that she could command this vast, ocean-like power as easily as moving a limb.
Following this, Nanook said no more. He withdrew his gaze.
And retreated from the void between the two realities.
Then,
when Baiming instinctively glanced at her panel,
she felt her heart skip a beat:
[Character Impersonation System]
[Name: Baiming (Star-shatterer)]
[Lifespan: 100 Years (Paused) + 30 Days (Character Impersonation)]
[Available Transformation Characters: Great Herta (Recharge: 45.2%), Acheron (Recharge: 11.4%), Star-shatterer]
[Available Draw Count: 0 (60.4%)]
All other progress bars were normal, only increasing by ten percent.
Logically, the lifespan column should have been the same.
But it had instantly surged to a century.
Baiming could feel the golden power surrounding her. It was destructive, yet soft.
She had recently come to understand one thing: the lifespan of an ordinary person is limited by the aging of the body.
And his lifespan was related to the dissipation of his soul.
The system's character cards could lock his soul and prevent its dissipation, but the body he made himself was missing some crucial element.
But that single drop of golden blood seemed to have successfully supplemented the part Baiming had previously overlooked.
Although it was only one hundred years, she couldn't complain too much since it was the Path of Destruction.
And at least it gave her a direction for future research.
But why?
Why didn't Nanook slap her?
Baiming felt it was rather miraculous.
Generally, Aeons don't descend to target individuals.
But Baiming, wearing the body of a future Annihilation Gang Lord, didn't get beaten up.
That was truly astonishing.
What was Nanook thinking?
Baiming thought for a while but couldn't figure it out.
She decided to give up.
"Did you just... truly become an Annihilation Gang Lord?"
Acheron was slightly curious.
"I don't think so. This power isn't that strong."
'Star-shatterer' took a moment to gauge the power. It was significantly weaker than the inherent power within Star-shatterer's body.
And now that she sensed it carefully, the drop of golden blood felt more like a mark placed on her.
Rather than a genuine elevation to the rank of Annihilation Gang Lord.
