Chapter 489: Chapter 350: Merchants Gather, The Strong Converge! (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

There were benefits for Xiao Lu as well; under his training... practice, Xiao Lu’s combat level had significantly improved. Although still weaker than the average member of the Immortal Legion, equipped with master-level and peak mastery skills, Xiao Lu was now truly a force to be reckoned with in the realm of myths.

A weaker myth, to be sure.

Yes, but still stronger than an ordinary angelic avatar.

Xiao Lu had made progress, Fang You had practiced new skills, and everyone had a bright future ahead of them.

While cultivating skills and handling official duties, Mentor Fang also remembered an organization’s key figure he had nearly forgotten.

— Director of the Intelligence Department: Thousand Faces!

Always cloaked in a grey robe or appearing in other guises, Thousand Faces—whose gender remained one of the organization’s top ten unsolved mysteries—also had an enigmatic combat prowess as they had never fully unleashed their power against an enemy. Or perhaps, in the course of their missions, they had never encountered a foe worth their full effort, making their instances of intervention few and far between.

This was normal, though.

The tasks of Thousand Faces involved deep infiltration into enemy ranks. If a situation arose that demanded their full prowess, it usually spelled danger.

They typically engaged in investigation, infiltration, disguise, and information gathering.

The current location of Thousand Faces...

Fang You opened the Angel Envoy list and checked; hmm, their physical form had gone to Zhuixing Imperial City? They had even obtained several ritual array patterns from some of the prominent nobles.

"The importance of Thousand Faces’ mission is immense. They fully deserve to possess a Legendary Tier ability."

"Besides, the actual combat strength of Thousand Faces is not weak. Although there are no records of them going all out, the mere demonstration of some of their abilities was intimidating enough to deter Cang Yan, the Oasis Master of the Scorched Flame Oasis, who is by no means weak among the Six Senses. It shows that Thousand Faces is at least at the top within the Six Senses."

The core members of the organization now mostly possessed legendary skills.

The rest, like Xiao Lu, are still working hard to cultivate their skills; Silver Bell and Wang Chui are too weak, and as they are not combat personnel, there is no need to merge a legendary skill for them. Not now, at this point in their destinies, anyway.

Pei Hongjing’s combat abilities are solid, but he is not keen on fighting and has gradually shifted from a frontline fighter to a secondary logistical supporter.

Let’s leave him be for now.

Fang You sent a message to Thousand Faces, waiting until their intelligence operations were temporarily concluded and they had returned to a safe area before using the fusion authority.

One by one, skill orbs emerged from deep within Thousand Faces’ body, materializing and drifting about, diffusing halos of varying colors.

Fang You stretched out his hand.

His palm seemed to cross boundless space, brushing past the skill orbs; he eventually touched a few of them. Pinching them together with his index and middle finger, he traced lines as though connecting dots on a blackboard, linking together the chosen nine skills, talents, and abilities.

Thousand Transformations! Puppet Doppelgänger!

Puppetry Art! Shadow Doppelgänger! Thread Manipulation! Thought Theft! Ghost Control! Disguise! Stealth!

"My turn! Merge!"

The materials from Thousand Faces were exceptionally lavish among the organization’s key personnel, featuring two epic skills. Although many of the blue-green skills were merely epic skill components, using them once more wouldn’t hurt and could lead to a fusion in a different direction.

Having used the fusion authority many times, Mentor Fang had figured out quite a few tricks.

Add skills, reduce skills, then probe their chances of successful integration.

One could say, it was his first time fusing for Thousand Faces, but he had already tentatively explored the connections of skill materials back and forth at the edge of fusion many times.

Very steady.

Still, what ability would be fused?

He watched intently.

In his field of vision, Thousand Faces in the dimly lit hut resembled a statue, with only the flickering candlelight illuminating bits of their garment.

Suddenly, the candlelight trembled slightly, and the shadow cast by Thousand Faces grew elongated and twisted eerily as though it were alive.

’Ding!’

’Notification: Fusion has created a unique skill for Thousand Faces, ’Endless Shadows’.’

—

’Endless Shadows (Gold)’

’Description 1: Thousand Faces can split "Shadow Mediators" from their own shadow as a base. Through these mediators, Thousand Faces can manipulate the shadows of others or silently erode, devour, and replace targets of a lower positional tier. When a Shadow Mediator merges into a target’s shadow, and the target has their back turned, the mediator can copy the target, perfectly imitate their appearance, and inherit some of their abilities and memories. To fully inherit them, the target must be devoured. A doppelgänger that replaces through devouring not only possesses the abilities of the original but can also utilize Thousand Faces’ own skills when actively controlled by them.’

’Description 2: Within a certain range, through Shadow Mediators, Thousand Faces can switch between their physical form and shadow. Additionally, Thousand Faces can create no more than three core mediators. After duplicating and devouring a target, these core mediators can display greater combat prowess than the original. Should Thousand Faces perish, they can also revive through a core Shadow Mediator/core doppelgänger.’

’Note: There is a limit to how many Shadow Mediators Thousand Faces can split, but when a mediator devours and replaces a target, it frees up a new slot to split another.’

As he read the skill description, as always, Mentor Fang copied the skill into his own slot.

Instantly, a flood of information poured into his mind like surging tides, an onslaught of countless fragments of memories converging into a tidal wave.

"This ability..."

"Is a bit terrifying!"

It wasn’t a question of strength; regarding combat power and future potential, it might not be as high as Netherworld Envoy or Immortal Legion, but this skill was truly frightening!

Imagine, when a leader of a certain power emerges from seclusion, everyone in the entire faction has already been replaced by Thousand Faces. To the outward eye, everything seems normal, but in reality, there is only Thousand Faces.
