I'm a bit late today, I apologize, please forgive me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Lily could feel that Sky Scar had finished dressing. The shyness on her face gradually faded away. She lifted her head and gave a slight smile, "You needn't thank me. I'm very happy that I could help you merge two supernatural powers. Do you know, Sky Scar? In the entire Galaxy Union, you are the first one to possess two supernatural powers."
Sky Scar was taken aback, "But, I have heard of people who had two supernatural powers in the past!"
Lily shook her head. At this point, the expression in her eyes had completely softened, "It's not the same. In the past, for a person to possess two supernatural powers would only lead to a catastrophic disaster. This was because the two supernatural powers that appeared simultaneously could potentially deny each other, and even if they didn't, controlling them would be extremely difficult. Now, you are completely different. You are truly controlling two supernatural powers. If you can fully utilize the characteristics of these powers in the future, you will inevitably achieve unprecedented successes. Whether it's space-based powers or the Dark System, both are extremely powerful abilities. If used correctly, either one can outperform other supernatural beings of the same grade by twenty to thirty per cent, let alone you who possess two supernatural powers."
Hearing Lily's words, Sky Scar was overjoyed and excitedly, "I can really possess two supernatural powers. Then, when I reach grade ten, won't I be able to possess the strength similar to that of a grade fifteen Controller?"
Lily nodded and said, "You could say that. However, the integration of space and dark powers is not as simple as one plus one equals two. What effects it can genuinely have will depend on your application. Without diligent cultivation, even a congenital advantage would be useless. Although you possess two supernatural powers, your cultivation would be much difficult as compared to normal people. The biological computer you have right now should still display your original grade. This is because I have helped you raise your Dark Alien Ability to the same level as your space-related supernatural power. If you want the biological computer to show a higher grade, you'd need to raise both your supernatural powers to such a high level."
Sky Scar laughed joyfully, "That's good news to me."
Lily was surprised and asked, "Why is it a good thing?" She didn't quite understand Sky Scar's mindset.
Sky Scar smiled and said, "Think about it, when the enemy thinks you have the strength of grade ten, but in reality, you have grade fifteen, what would be the outcome? Ability to conceal strength before technology is naturally a good thing for me. Survival will be much easier. This is our secret; don't tell anyone!"
A chill ran through Lily's heart. She hadn't expected Sky Scar to consider such distant consequences, "I can promise you, but you have to agree to one condition for me."
Sky Scar was surprised and asked, "What condition?"
Lily said, "You just felt the negative impact brought by the Dark Alien Ability. Therefore, I hope you can promise me, unless your life is in danger, never easily use the Dark Alien Ability, because killing is the best catalyst for darkness. I don't want there to be a day when we come face to face with swords. At the same time, I hope you'll diligently cultivate Cosmic Energy. It's magnanimous and profound. With powerful Cosmic Energy, you'll be able to feel the preciousness of life more fully, and it will do you good in your cultivation."
Sky Scar nodded and said, "Even if you don't say this, I would do it anyway. I have already felt the mystery of the Cosmic Energy. Not only does the Dark Alien Ability have a certain backlash, but it's also seen as a menace by the entire Holy Alliance. I don't want to become a wanted criminal in the Galaxy Union." He raised his right hand with a smile, "Look, I'm still a Controller of the Holy Alliance, although I'm just an intern. I do not want to give up this identity."
Lily gazed warmly at Sky Scar, "That's good. Cultivating a supernatural power itself is a difficult process. As long as you stick to your true heart, the Dark Alien Ability can only become a powerful tool for you. I never want to be your enemy. Is that okay?"
Sky Scar's gaze also softened. He walked to Lily, facing her, "Lily, my mother was right, you are really beautiful. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Thank you for helping me. Believe me, I don't want to be your enemy either. I understand your pursuit, and if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you."
Lily gave a slight smile, her smiles were like spring breeze, seemingly capable of melting all frost. She took the initiative to hold Sky Scar's hand, the warmth in her hand warms his heart, "It seems my decision was not wrong, at least not for now. We will meet again in the future, you should go, don't keep Uncle Marley waiting."
Somehow, an impulse surged within Sky Scar's heart. He leaned closer to Lily and softly kissed her forehead, "I will never forget the kindness you showed me today. In this world, perhaps only you are worthy of the title of Saintess." He let go of her soft hand somewhat reluctantly, and left the room after opening the door.
A sense of hesitation flashed in Lily's eyes as she touched her forehead. For the first time in her life, her heart was pounding strongly because of a man.
"Ah Hen, how are you?" Uncle Marley asked with concern.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine now, thanks to the Saintess who saved me. You were right, the Saintess is the kindest person."
Sky Scar emerged unscathed, causing everyone around to cheer in unison. After bidding goodbye to his old neighbors, Sky Scar and Marley began their journey home.
At Sky Scar's request, Marley did not tell Macro about what had happened. Sky Scar did not want his mother to worry. As soon as he got home, the first thing he did was seclude himself in his room for cultivation. The two supernatural powers in his body can finally be used for himself, and he wanted to fully experience the characteristics brought by the supernatural powers.
Through several experiments, Sky Scar clearly discovered that his space-based supernatural ability possessed the power to control and tear objects, while the darkness system ability only had one characteristic, which was intense corrosion.
Sky Scar lived at home for another month. During this month, he did not deliberately cultivate his two supernatural abilities. Instead, he fully immersed in experiencing the sense of life that cosmic energy brought. He was a smart person and through his interaction with Saintess Lily, he fully discovered the mystery in cosmic energy. He did not go to see Lily again. For some reason, he was somewhat afraid of the innocent girl. What Lily brought to him was something he couldn't clearly say, but there was always a subtle feeling in his heart that even Liana couldn't bring. However, Lily's gentle gaze was imprinted in the deepest part of his heart, just like Lanlan's big bright eyes back then.
"Mom, I want to leave tomorrow," Sky Scar told Macro about his plans.
Although she knew her son would leave one day, Macro couldn't help showing a bit of sadness, "Are you leaving so soon? Stay home for a few more days."
Sky Scar affectionately put his arm around his mother's shoulders, "Mom, I'm grown up now, don't you trust me? You know, we owe a lot to others. The kindness of Teacher Damon is always to be repaid, plus I want you guys to live a better life. So, I need a job. Don't worry, I will come back to see you during my free time."
Marley laughed, "Let the kid go. He's all grown up, don't you trust our son's abilities? Ah Hen, rest assured and go. We can take care of ourselves. Now that we can listen to Saintess's classes every day, our lives are much more fulfilling than before."
As if suddenly thinking of something, Sky Scar said, "Dad, Mom, you must promise me one thing. From now on, you must cultivate cosmic energy. It's very easy to comprehend the most basic cosmic energy. It's very beneficial for your health. I'm most worried about you guys!"
Macro playfully hit her son, "We know you care about us. Don't worry, the day before yesterday, the Saintess has started teaching us how to cultivate the cosmic energy. She teaches much better than you, we will practice."
Hearing his mother's words, Sky Scar once again remembered those gentle eyes, warmed at his heart, "Indeed, with the Saintess taking care of the people in the slums, this place will no longer be the bottom tier of the Galaxy Union society, everything will change. Mom, I want to go say goodbye to the Saintess."
Macro was taken aback, but Marley immediately understood, "Then you should go quickly. The previous time, the Saintess also..." He stopped speaking when he realized that he had spoken too much, and quickly shut his mouth when he saw the questioning look in his wife's eyes.
Sky Scar did not want to explain, bid farewell, and immediately ran out. Behind him came Macro questioning Marley, "You old man, explain everything to me clearly, or else, you will be sleeping on the floor tonight."
Sky Scar shook his head and gave a helpless smile. The warmth of home was always the most important thing for him. Using his flying skill, he quickly arrived at the slum. It was already evening and the slums were very quiet, only with some children playing by the roadside.
He came directly to where the Saintess lived. Sky Scar stood at the entrance, he hesitated, not knowing whether he should go in or not.
"Oh, isn't this Sky Scar? Why are you here?" A familiar voice sounded. Sky Scar turned to look. The man was someone he knew, Uncle Rael, a neighbor from the time he lived in the slums.
