Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 945 - 655: Celestial Will Organization, Shadow Controller

The shadow squirmed and slowly stood up, finally taking the form of a pitch-black figure.

Li Zheng glanced at the ground, his shadow was still there, indicating that this guy actually came in afterward and hadn't directly stolen his shadow, which put his mind at ease. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I remember you guys could control targets through their shadows, right?" Li Zheng said coldly, "Why doesn't it work this time?"

"Hehehe..." The shadowy figure laughed eerily, "Your willpower far exceeds expectations and couldn't be shaken. That woman beside you is even more terrifying, able to detect anomalies at the moment we make our move and instantly kill the Shadow Controller. However, I still advise you to surrender. You are outnumbered and outgunned; you can't fight the Celestial Will Organization."

"Surrender?" Li Zheng looked the other up and down, a mocking and indifferent smile appearing on his lips, "With just your mere genetic creation?"

[Shadow Controller, an artificially cultivated creature considered a type of genetic creation. By blending into the target's shadow, it can control the target's body; a target with stronger willpower can detect its presence.

Your Spiritual Power is indeed strong, but your willpower is weak...

By the way, he has your genes within him...or should I say, genes similar to your own, possibly taken from another clone.]

It's another genetic creation. In the Matrix, many creatures have been modified through genetic technology, and Xiaoying was one of them, integrating over fifty types of genes, with five of them being from aliens who were once Players.

The Shadow Controller in front of him was utterly disgraceful compared to Xiaoying, with a much lower technical content.

"It seems that the reason this guy could blend into my shadow is that part of his genes that belong to me are at work." Li Zheng thought to himself, "By simulating genes to mimic an aura similar to mine, could he have bypassed my alertness this way?"

The Shadow Controller was furious: "You're just a clone, what right do you have to look down on me?!"

"Because I have this." Li Zheng produced an Inscription Card: "I have Player status and am a legitimate resident recognized by the Outer City, what are you?"

"Are you trying to anger me?" The Shadow Controller suddenly quieted down, "It's a waste of effort."

Li Zheng shrugged indifferently: "Think whatever you want, but with your strength...to be honest, without the Shadow Controller's bizarre talents and abilities, you're nothing more than a fart in my eyes."

"Heh..." The Shadow Controller sneered, "Really? You haven't even reached Basic Level High Tier, where do you get the nerve to make such arrogant claims?"

Although he was a genetic creation, his strength was genuinely at the Basic Level High Tier, a small grade stronger than Li Zheng. Based on previous experience, when he just blended into the opponent's shadow, he could control the opponent's body, forcefully weakening the defenses of the Spiritual Realm, allowing the Evil Thought in the Sin Domain environment to take advantage and quickly turn them into infected.

However, this target was indeed extraordinary; one with willpower so strong he could discern anomalies and timely strike to injure the Shadow Controller in the shadow.

The other one was unshakeable, but their external strength wasn't particularly impressive, making the outcome of a direct confrontation uncertain.

"Although I'm curious how you manage to turn others into infected, it's no longer important." Li Zheng took out a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and a layer of ice crystals gradually spread from his palm, eventually turning into cowhair-like Ice Needles that flew out of the bottle's opening, circling around him.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with glistening ice needles, even causing the surrounding temperature to drop considerably.

"Genetic Ability?" The Shadow Controller laughed disdainfully, "You still use such an obsolete thing?"

At this moment, the Shadow Controller that Zhan Zhouzhou struck suddenly dispersed into countless fragments, flowing on the ground not far away to gather and become whole again.

"What a pity, just a little more and you could have killed me. Oh hohoho..." This Shadow Controller seemed to be female and a bit sickly, speaking in a tone that emitted a masochistic vibe, as if Zhan Zhouzhou's act of injuring her brought her pleasure.

"This time is just a lesson, next time you won't be spared." Zhan Zhouzhou swung the Electric Light Longsword in her hand, causing a crackling arc of lightning.

"Oh, really?" The female Shadow Controller extended a slender tongue like a tentacle, flicking it in the air, laughing coquettishly, "I can hardly wait."

"In such a hurry to die?" Zhan Zhouzhou's fighting spirit soared, her tone colder as she swung her Longsword, shooting out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, "Then I'll oblige you!"

The battle erupted instantly; Zhan Zhouzhou's opening move was a Passing Swift, with momentum like thunder and an overwhelming avalanche, making it hard for anyone to breathe.

"So frightening~" The female Shadow Controller's body softened, twisting like a water snake, "I quite like it!"

The figure flipped, like highly elastic putty, coiling towards Zhan Zhouzhou's sword-wielding right hand.

"Open!" Zhan Zhouzhou shouted, advancing with rapid steps, her wrist flipping, slicing horizontally with her sword.

While the two were fighting, Li Zheng wasn't idle, the myriad ice needles changing direction, their sharp tips facing the other Shadow Controller, poised and ready to strike.

"The master sent me to test your strength, but the end result is so disappointing." The Shadow Controller slowly melted into the ground like an ice cream, "I will take your head back; the master should be very pleased."
