Tears welled up in its dark eye sockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is its true form.\" Bloodline crossed her arms, looking down at the paper figure, \"So, what are you going to do with it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Form a contract.\" Xia Pingzhou replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline curiously asked, \"Does it make sense to form a contract with such a weak demon? Although it can mimic our appearance and some abilities, its actual capabilities are far inferior to the copied target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It blocked one of your attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline pressed a finger to her chin and pondered, \"That’s true... I didn’t expect it to withstand my attack, was that your ability just now?\" She looked at Xia Pingzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. It can copy my abilities, regardless of strength, that’s enough for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Xia Pingzhou stepped toward the paper figure. The Mobius Ring Road surrounding him suddenly transformed into a key flowing with black and white halos, hovering in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front of the key was engraved with the form of a Shadow Demon, while the back was densely etched with chess shadows: Empress, King, Knight, Soldier...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the \"Contract State\" of a Celestial Driver, which, as its name suggests, only appeared when forming a contract with a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within the memory of Xia Pingzhou’s mechanism, each Celestial Driver’s Contract State was different, but most were in the shape of a \"container.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some appeared as wine glasses, some as kettles, some even as glass spheres...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as seen before them, Xia Pingzhou’s Celestial Driver \"International Chess\" formed a \"key.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was evidently extremely rare, as a key did not fit the definition of a \"container.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If possible, I’d also like to be an Exorcist, more fun than being a Superpower User.\" Bloodline suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you were an Exorcist, you’d already look like a hundred-year-old lady. The demon you just dismembered wouldn’t choose to become an old lady, but would turn and run... That way, I would have killed one less demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t the young miss teach you anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t say anything, you can simply not speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She doesn’t speak either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Xia Pingzhou reached out to grasp the key, then bent down, extending it toward the paper figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Form a contract with me,\" he said, \"or die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paper figure hesitated for quite a moment, gently releasing its grip on its knees before stumbling forward two steps, opening its arms wide to embrace the key that was a size larger than itself, as if a human were hugging a pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body merged with the key, immediately transforming into a pattern etched on the front of the key, next to the Shadow Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadow Demon covered its mouth, laughing \"kekekeke,\" as if welcoming the new occupant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black and white flowing light enveloped the key, returning to Xia Pingzhou’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, a series of notification panels sprung up in his field of vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Notification: The second mechanism’s Celestial Driver \"International Chess\" has formed a contract with the rare demon \"Cloning Demon.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The abilities of the Cloning Demon are as follows: Copy one chess species on the chessboard within 8 seconds and gain the opponent’s authority.

In just a short time, the two cleared the surrounding demons as they chatted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most were below C-level, with only five or six above C-level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The cumulative kill count in the \"Winter of the Wild Hunt\" system is updated: 26\u002F40]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The advancement progress for the second character’s Celestial Driver \"International Chess\" is: 30%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After purging around a dozen demons, Xia Pingzhou paused on the street, looking at the data on the character panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll stop here for tonight,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not even tired yet?\" Bloodline placed a hand on her hip, turning to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not that I don’t want to continue...\" Xia Pingzhou paused, \"But I can’t continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Did the young miss call you back to play house with her?\" Bloodline speculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, someone nearby is going on a rampage,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Xia Pingzhou glanced at the map on the app.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blinking red dots on the map vanished one after another, signifying that the local demons were being swiftly slaughtered. This Exorcist seemed relentless, sweeping through the city’s prey at a whirlwind pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\" Bloodline asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who else could it be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, the Ripper girl.\" Bloodline said, \"Not surprising... After all, her Celestial Driver is nearing tier three, urgently needing sustenance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Pingzhou thought for a moment: \"Will she become the first Catastrophe Level in our group?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, I, Origami girl, Bai Tanlang, we touched the brink of Quasi-Calamity a long time ago, just not sure who will be faster.\" Bloodline paused, \"As for the group leader, nobody knows his situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did someone who took a hundred years to reach Quasi-Calamity sneak in here?\" Xia Pingzhou sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline yawned, nonchalant in her defense:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the one who took a hundred years to reach Quasi-Calamity has a superpower side effect. While granting her immortality, it greatly slows her superpower cultivation pace, got it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could reach \"Quasi-Calamity Level\" in a month at most, and it’s not just one mechanism, all my mechanisms would synch up to Quasi-Calamity Level...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Pingzhou wanted to say this to her, but that would be blatant sarcasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to come back and drink with us at the booth?\" She asked, \"It’s a good opportunity to get acquainted with the new Number 5.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xia Pingzhou was about to accept, a page flew out from his sleeve, somehow hidden there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, the page split apart, turning into paper confetti. The paper shreds twisted in the air to form two skewed words:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— \"Come back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline chuckled, placing a hand on Xia Pingzhou’s shoulder, maliciously saying, \"Looks like someone seems mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Pingzhou watched as the paper confetti landed on the bridge and was blown away by the wind, then replied expressionlessly, \"No, I’ve never seen her actually mad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think... her anger is more like an emotion she’s performing, to make herself seem more like a ’real person.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you make our young miss sound like a robot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline thought for a moment: \"But she doesn’t perform ’emotions’ in front of everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, leisurely saying, \"Is it possible that she only stays cold and distant toward those she doesn’t care about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s head back to the tavern.\" Xia Pingzhou said after a moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\" Bloodline raised an eyebrow, \"I thought you’d obediently head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring her along, she’s awake now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bold move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-06-05T15:04:18.034Z",1,"novelbin.me","73af0e4bccf6887b6557706760c8c5f3fa8ba1734efb51856a9e1280cfa8df15","my-avatar-is-becoming-the-ultimate-boss-chapter-247","my-avatar-is-becoming-the-ultimate-boss-chapter-245",884,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-avatar-is-becoming-the-ultimate-boss-cover.jpg"]
