How powerful would it become?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also indirectly proved that the Salem witches were far stronger than Flesh-Eaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even unawakened, Salem witches’ flesh and blood possess potency. Once awakened, the effect will surely be even greater—perhaps even unlocking other useful properties. Excellent material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this group is not easy to provoke—they’re protected by the Supreme Witch, their power too great to handle, and unawakened witches are indistinguishable, making it impossible to search for them in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, once his strength is sufficient, he could visit New Orleans—there lies a school of the Salem witch lineage; perhaps he could scheme something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, having confirmed the uniqueness of Salem witches, he must adopt other methods toward Madison, this rare specimen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Win her over? Control her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll need to cultivate the Blood Worm as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Worm is the only special control technique he possesses, and its effect is powerful—indeed, formidable—capable of being passed down through direct bloodlines; the only drawback is its difficult preparation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of its materials must be acquired from Huaxia—none are available here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis walked toward the Paranormal Club, whose group activity had been moved up—apparently due to changes at the villa, so he went to check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the academic building and the gymnasium, Louis paused, frowning at the ice rink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gymnasium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison and Maria had already changed into ice skates and skating suits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maria, though I don’t understand why you suddenly changed your mind, I’m truly glad you’re brave enough to try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria—no, should say Ailan—smiled, tying up her hair without speaking, “Madison, let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the two began skating on the rink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexpected situation arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One graceful posture after another emerged from Ailan’s movements; her white figure glided across the ice like a fish, elegant and beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students of the skating club froze in place, “Who is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know, never seen her before—but she’s so beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, she’s my type.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is she here for the skating competition too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think her figure skating is better than Lily’s…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily, training nearby, stared in disbelief—was this really that invisible girl? Why did she now seem so skilled? And her aura had changed so drastically…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices around her darkened her expression—this invisible girl dared steal her spotlight? Judging by her skill, she must have practiced secretly for ages—what was this? A declaration of war?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furious, she was about to tell her boyfriend when she saw Sean, the school bully and hockey player, staring in rapt admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She elbowed Sean hard, then glided onto the ice to compete with Maria—though her real goal was to make the girl humiliate herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan glanced at her coldly, executed a high-difficulty maneuver, then abruptly stopped and sidestepped, shoving Lily off the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily crashed onto the ice, her arm twisted unnaturally; she screamed in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey! What did you do?!” Sean rushed over to help Lily up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan tilted her head slightly. “Sorry, I didn’t know someone could be this clumsy and still fall on their own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You! Maria! Bitch!” Lily shrieked in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan swept her blade across the ice, sending a spray of sharp ice shards straight into Lily’s face. “Clean your filthy mouth before you spit something out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she resumed skating. Sean opened his mouth to speak, but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Madison, wobbling awkwardly as she skated over, was stunned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this really the Maria she knew?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So bold. So fearless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I like it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan glided across the ice, savoring the stunned gazes of countless onlookers, her lips curling slightly—this was exactly what Maria wanted: to say no to anything she disliked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lily dared come again, she’d break her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she spotted Louis passing by—oh~ Maria’s self-reassurance target~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curled; she swiftly glided over, changed her skates, and blocked Louis’s path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Louis, I like you. Can we go to dinner tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan said it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis did not answer; he studied Maria from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even dripped something into his eyes—his gaze on her showed clear surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan frowned, then reached out, trying to grip Louis’s head for a passionate kiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand firmly pinned her shoulder. Louis’s cold gaze did not deter her—she still tried to press forward—but his grip was like a vice, locking her in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis spoke—and the words sent a jolt through Ailan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ailan instantly recoiled; Maria, who had been quietly observing within her, was restored to dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m… sorry, Louis.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this was Maria—but the one before had been Maria too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis ignored Maria’s trembling voice; he was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had watched Maria skate, surprised at first—especially after her sudden shift in behavior. When she approached and uttered that confession, he sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a horror world, when anomalies appear, don’t hesitate—check if it’s a ghost, demon, curse, or something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Louis had dripped cow’s tears—and discovered something astonishing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria’s soul… seemed split into two parts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, exactly two parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was wrapped in faint black mist; the other resembled a normal soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both originated from the same source, yet their thoughts differed—as if they were two separate people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared that when one thought dominated, the other remained half-dormant as a soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reminded Louis of dissociative identity disorder—but DID involved mental confusion, not a literal splitting of the soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if she were born with a naturally divided soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the soul wrapped in black mist showed signs of becoming a malevolent spirit—some force was hidden within, growing stronger—but the dominant consciousness remained the ordinary-looking soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about it was strange. How had this happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louis was truly curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you do last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden question made Maria blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t answer this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the onlookers, Louis simply told her to change clothes and follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria obediently complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she was again the meek, obedient Maria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Madison grabbed Maria’s arm. “Maria, what are you doing? How dare you approach that guy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Louis is nice. Yesterday afternoon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madison fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Never mind. I have to go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, I’m coming too,” Madison gritted her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t let Maria go alone to meet that dangerous person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria was reluctant; she didn’t want Madison involved. For some reason, it felt as if Ailan was telling her that Louis seemed to be paying unusually close attention to Madison—right now, for instance, he seemed to be watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Maria didn’t want Madison involved; she preferred to be alone with Louis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t refuse Madison, and Ailan wasn’t daring to show up just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Maria changed her clothes and brought Madison to find Louis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean watched as the group left, still bandaging Lily’s wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sean, you have to help me—teach that bitch a lesson!” Lily looked at him through tear-blurred eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean nodded. “I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his gaze remained fixed on Maria’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lily saw it, and fierce anger and jealousy surged in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria! Maria! Maria!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Louis had already brought the two to the Paranormal Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Gilmore chuckled strangely and vacated the club room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Louis, Madison, and Maria remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1529,"2026-06-19T23:34:28.869Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2e5162788b56346721d705a9eec3ae76f05cefc43c7965fa62b18ca5e051a305","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-112","becoming-a-god-through-horror-chapter-110",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-god-through-horror-cover.jpg"]
