ATG: God of Shadows

Now, Alex started to look at the Shadow God's Card that was stored in his inventory. He clicked on the Shadow God's Card and it showed a description about what the card was all about.

Alex looked at the description and starting to read it,

[Shadow God's Card: Contains the abilities of the Shadow God. The Shadow God is a higher version of the Original Shadow Monarch.

Abilities:

1.Eternal Shadow Extraction:

-The ability to extract shadows from defeated enemies and turn them into loyal soldiers.

-Shadows don't need continuous supply of energy(mana) to stay summoned. They have their own energy reserves and can even cultivate to become more stronger.

- It doesn't matter for how long the being is dead, you can make that being into your shadow. Though the time they were dead for will impact their power level after being turned to a shadow while keeping all their physical traits they had as long as those physical traits are still on their corpse.

-Can extract beings stronger than yourself, but their cultivation realm will be limited to your realm.

-Can extract spiritual beings into shadows by first creating a vessel for them and merging them into one.

2.Shadow Manipulation: The ability to manipulate shadows for various effects, such as creating weapons, binding enemies, or forming barriers.

3.Primordial Elemental Control: You can use all elements. You don't need to learn specific profound arts to use them. As long as you have specific understanding about an element, you will be able to replicate any profound art related to that element, provided that you have enough energy.

4.Black Heart: Allows user to cultivate any type of energy.

Automatically converts the energy to a higher level as required according to the cultivation requirements or the energy the body can handle.

5.Infinite Shadows: You can extract an infinite number of shadows. The only thing you need to have is enough energy reserves for a one time summon.

6.Infinite Regeneration: Can regenerate extremely fast as long as give energy, from even a single cell. Within seconds the body can regenerate from a single cell.

7.Auto Healing: Without the use of energy the physical body can still recover but very slowly in comparison to Infinite Regeneration.

8.Shadow Domain: A dimension where your shadows stay. Bigger than the Primal Chaos Universe.

Looking at the description, Alex's lips couldn't help but twitch a bit as he says " Afterall speaking all that bullshit about becoming a bigger ant to cheer myself up as if I am some sort of Cultivation novel protagonist, I find that the moment I merge with this card in front of me, I will embark on the path of the Overpowered protagonist. Sigh, the little poor me will have to take the burden of becoming the lonely one at the top."

His eyes suddenly sparkled " Well to not become a lonely guy at the top of the world who turns insane, I shall make a harem of beautiful and sensible girls. At least more sensible than those young masters. Hmm, that much sense will be enough, given that I am inside a cultivation world."

Thinking about the descriptions about the looks of females in the novel Alex couldn't help but say " I don't know what year or arc I am at, but well let's make sure that I get surrounded by a lot of beauties of this novel. I don't expect them to fall in love with me right away but I need to try my luck at the very least."

" Well I am doing this for the world, not for myself though. This is my selflessness as I don't want to go crazy and pull an Itachi on this world or convert them into my shadows."

Alex couldn't help but shudder thinking the latter part as with his powers if he were to actually go insane then the people of this world would be fucked up.

" I need to establish some ground rules to prevent the latter part from ever happening."

"Well enough dilly dallying, let's merge with the card then."

He took a deep breath and opened his system panel, navigating to his inventory. Alex selected the card, feeling its weight materialize in his hand. The card was dark and mysterious, inscribed with ancient runes that seemed to shimmer with a life of their own. 

"Here goes nothing," Alex murmured to himself, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He tightened his grip on the card, feeling its edges press into his palm. With a decisive motion, he crushed it in his hand.

As the card shattered, it released a surge of energy that coursed through Alex's body. He felt an overwhelming wave of power wash over him, filling every fiber of his being.

A whirlwind of Black aura can be seen rotating around him at high speeds the aura slowly getting inside him and making changes to his body.

His vision darkened for a moment as he absorbed the immense energy, and when he opened his eyes, they glowed with a deep, otherworldly purple light.

"This feeling....this is different, a bit weird, the feeling of being stronger ....I don't know if it's weird to say but I kind of love this."

He can feel the changes inside his body. 

Excited to look at his current status he summons the system.

"System!"
