Plundering in the Apocalypse

Aston City.

Inside the headquarters of Myriad Multimedia Broadcasting Inc.

Alfred was looking at the most popular video on the internet today, which had caused a huge commotion worldwide. He had a serious expression on his face.

In the video, a handsome black-haired man with three beautiful girls was fighting against a terrifying mutated demon. He raised his hand and showed multiple abilities and bombarded the demon showing his might. The girls were also no less powerful. They also showed their terrifying fighting abilities. Whether fighting against the army of demons and monsters or while restraining and defeating the mutated demon.

After the video came to an end. His office became silent.

*Sigh*

A long sigh was heard.

"Didn\'t they go on a vacation? How did their little vacation turn into an international sensation?" Alfred mumbled with a wry expression. "They have become a lot stronger."

*Tring*

Alfred saw that it was his private phone that rang. It was an unknown number. After a moment of thought, he finally picked it up. "Hello."

[...] After a long pause, the other side finally spoke.

[It\'s been a long time, Alfred.]

Hearing this deep and familiar voice, Alfred\'s pupils shrank, his face paled and his expression became serious and deadly.

Gritting his teeth, Alfred was ready to hang up. But his hands stopped when he heard the other side continue.

[How is that cripple waste doing?]

Immense anger emerged inside Alfred. Gripping his fist tightly, he said in a deep anger filled voice.

"Do you want to die, old man?"

[Hey, Hey, you even forgot the respect you should have for your uncle.]

"I have no respect for you. I\'d rather you die right away."

[Oh~ you have become quiet bold. Did you think I left you for all these years so you can forget to fear and respect me?]

Hearing the playful voice, Alfred didn\'t have any change in expression. But the voice continued.

[Or did you think that your little cub has become stronger so you can also be courageous?]

Alfred\'s eyes were burning with immense hatred and he wasn\'t the least bit surprised by the words of his uncle. When he saw the video going viral, he already expected this, but he didn\'t think that his uncle will call him so soon.

"What are you going to do?"

[What do you think I\'ll do? I am just an old man who is concerned about his nephew.]

"..." Alfred was silent. But the voice on the other side continued.

[It\'s been many years since we last saw each other. I miss my nephew and grandnephew.]

*Beep*

With those words, the call ended.

Alfred\'s eyes widened as he caught the meaning behind his uncle\'s words. He knew the trouble was coming. He needed to warn Shin.

*Beep*

"Why isn\'t Shin answering?" Alfred murmured. He was going to try calling Alice, but he saw that Reina\'s call came first.

Taking his coat from the hanger, he immediately left his office.

*Beep*

"Hello, Reina. Something happened."

***

On the other side, inside the Soul Space, Shin was sitting on the ground as his muscles were tense and he was sweating profusely.

Gritting his teeth, he endured the pain of his muscles being torn apart.

[Pain Tolerance (D) has been upgraded to Pain Tolerance (C).]I think you should take a look at

As soon as his notification flashed. The pain became slightly numb and a moment later, all the pain subsided.

Shin felt a huge power emerge inside him. He felt that he had become a lot stronger than his previous self. Clenching his fist, he uttered, "This is amazing."

Holding back his excitement and the urge to test his physical improvement. Shin\'s eyes fell on the Abilities he plundered.

[Shape Shifter (A)]

[Charming Eyes (E)]

[Phantom Clone (F)]

...

There were some other abilities, too. But Shin\'s focus was on the first three.

Because of the poison mist which Shin spread all over the city, several demon worshippers who were hiding inside the city also died. They might have made a contract with demonic beings, so their body had demonic energy and they died from being poisoned.

It doesn\'t matter. But this helped Shin plunder a few interesting abilities.

One of them was Phantom Clone. Although its current usefulness was just a waste for Shin. The user can only create a single clone, which can only stay in one place and can\'t do anything. It can\'t be controlled, nor can it be touched. But it doesn\'t matter to Shin. He can upgrade the ranks of his abilities.

As for the path of future upgrades for Phantom Clone, Shin had a good feeling about it.

So without wasting any more time. He said.

"Shape Shifter (A)."

Shin didn\'t feel any pain, but he felt a slight itch on his skin.

He imagined Alice\'s image and activated this ability once again.

"Shape Shifter."

The next moment, Shin\'s body structure started changing. His frame became more feminine, his hair became long, and slowly his whole body became exactly like Alice\'s.

Shin saw his soft hands and the bulge in his chest.

"It\'s the same."

He was surprised to find that even his voice changed.

"I sound just like Alice."

Shin tried out a few things and concluded.

"So, I won\'t have any memory of the person I change into. Nor their personality. I can\'t use Alice\'s powers, but I can perfectly use my abilities without a problem."

His transformation was almost indistinguishable from a glance. Even his clothes changed to the one he imagined Alice wearing.

"This will be very useful in the future."

After that Shin also learned about Phantom Clone and Charming Eyes. He didn\'t have any trouble learning them.

Shin used the remaining abilities to upgrade the Phantom Clone Ability.

[Congratulations! You have used 12 abilities to successfully upgrade your ability.]

[Phantom Clone (F) --> (D)]

After the upgrade, Shin found out that. He can create 2 phantom clones and they can even move and act like Shin. But they are intangible.

As for Charming Eyes, the user can get a lot of goodwill from the target through eye contact. It certainly has its advantages if used properly.

Returning to his original form. Shin immediately left the Soul Space.

In front of him was Aurora, whose face turned red as she looked at him.

"Aaaaahhh."

And he heard Emily spit out a word in a displeased tone from the side.

"Gross."
