Chapter 534: Chapter 496: The Fickle Hand of Fate (5K)_3

Suddenly, the elves opened their mouths one after another, as if singing in unison to Karno, yet no one truly made a sound.

The fragrance became even stronger.

The eerie scene made Karno’s head swell and his body tremble uncontrollably.

Not good!

In a mysterious dimension, a wandering soul searched for a new body to host its consciousness. The soul had long lost its original body, but it still retained a strong will to survive and a thirst for power.

“The Fischer family’s body would make an excellent avatar and weapon, and with that identity, I could infiltrate the Fischer family… The entity has not truly awakened, probably lacks self-awareness, and won’t notice my change.”

Shadow sensed Karno Fischer’s increasingly weak body and the still surging life force within it, deciding to take it as its new shell.

It first infiltrated around Karno’s body, wrapping his soul with invisible tendrils, making Karno’s soul light seem dimmer under Shadow’s oppression, as if it could extinguish at any moment.

Then, Shadow began to exert the mental power found within the Bloodline Domain, attempting to separate Karno’s soul from his body.

This process was filled with pain and struggle. Karno’s soul tried to resist in despair, but the difference in power was too great, and ultimately, Shadow slowly drew it out.

As Karno’s soul departed, his body became hollow and weak.

Shadow took the opportunity to pour into this husk, attempting to merge with the body. Its consciousness gradually overtook Karno’s form, beginning to control this new vessel.

In that chaotic, reality-transcending space, Shadow basked in the accomplishment of seizing a new body. Suddenly, an unprecedented fear struck like icy bones, causing it to shake uncontrollably.

This fear came not from any physical threat in the outside world but from a trembling deep within the soul, as if some ancient and terrifying presence was watching it!

What!

Shadow slowly looked up, and the scene before it was so shocking it could barely think.

Within an endless darkness, a vast figure too immense to gauge slowly materialized—an entity beyond all creatures’ understanding, its form twisted and bizarre, as if the embodiment of pitch black, holding secrets of infinite destruction. In the dense black mist without a trace of light, all it exuded was contempt and despair for all life.

“Ah! Impossible! Why has He already awakened…”

“The prophecy wasn’t like this, absolutely not…”

“Is this an illusion?”

Before this power, Shadow was as insignificant as dust, all its wisdom, desires, and power seemed so trivial at this moment.

Now, all that was left was despair.

“Wisdom” recalled its homeland, annihilated by the otherworldly god “Lord of Ashes,” unable to do anything but wait for everything to turn to ashes and flee.
