Chapter 386: Well, would you look at this? A Dark Skin Devil

The moment Fang Mo pressed the Nametag against Shoggoth's body.

It was as if the entire world paused for a moment, and then Shoggoth's body became increasingly profound.

Fang Mo could vaguely sense that something vast and complex was being extracted from the essence of the world and forcibly infused into Shoggoth's body, turning his form pitch-black and indescribable.

This was the fear of 'darkness' shared by all creatures in this world.

Under the influence of the world's rules, this fear materialized into a power akin to a scepter.

And now, this authority, originally belonging to the Darkness Devil, was stripped away by Fang Mo and bestowed upon his own follower. As a primal devil, the Darkness Devil, crowned with the terror of origins in hell, naturally possessed an authority far greater than that of Sex Devil.

For this reason.

Shoggoth underwent earth-shattering changes.

At the beginning, the 'small Shoggoth' summoned by Fang Mo was just a simple Cthulhu monster with a semi-transparent body like frozen jelly and countless flickering eyeballs.

But after Fang Mo fed it Chemical X, it transformed from its original form into something resembling a symbiote, a bouncing little black blob, or a coal sprite, with a jelly-like texture, bouncing everywhere and being very polite.

But now, after being endowed with the authority of darkness.

Shoggoth's appearance changed once again, becoming an existence between physical and conceptual.

It looked like matter, but also somewhat like a living shadow or non-material darkness, its surface seeming to devour all light, making it appear like a black hole or a gateway to an unknown abyss.

Furthermore, after obtaining the authority of darkness.

Shoggoth's form underwent a revolutionary change.

Previously, due to indiscriminate eating, Shoggoth had become somewhat large, so Fang Mo threw a large part of its body on the planet Ego to nibble on the scarred man for fun.

Shoggoth was obedient, constantly gnawing on the scarred man, and its body inflated like a balloon, turning into a large black blob comparable to a locomotive.

But after obtaining the authority of darkness.

It seemed like Shoggoth gained a new ability.

Its body had transcended the physical realm, becoming a conceptual entity akin to darkness, and this concept... could be stacked and compressed together.

So now, Shoggoth was no longer constrained by its size.

It could freely split, merge, contract, or expand its body, and even overcome the barriers of time and space to reclaim or transfer its body.

For example,

Shoggoth left a piece of itself as small as a fingernail on the planet Ego.

It could then use this piece to transfer itself entirely to Ego or conjure that small piece back out of thin air.

In addition, Shoggoth can also create various dark domains like the Darkness Devil, and unlike the Darkness Devil, the power of darkness is only one of its abilities. Its essence is still a shapeless monster, so it can perform even more tricks than the Darkness Devil itself.

For example, its inherent mimicry ability.

After obtaining the power of darkness, its mimicry ability has obviously become much stronger.

With shadows swirling, it quickly transformed into a Western maid with white hair and silver eyes. Although her temperament seemed somewhat clumsy and cute, her appearance and figure were truly top-notch.

Fang Mo originally wanted to scold it for this behavior.

But as everyone knows, everyone has a preference for white hair, which can be seen from the character setting of "Tianshan Tonglao". A white-haired loli... So, Fang Mo didn't say anything, tacitly accepting its form as a white-haired maid.

After some thought, Fang Mo even gave it a name.

"Um..."

Fang Mo looked at the clumsy, white-haired maid in front of him and said after a moment of contemplation, "From now on, you'll be called Tekeli. After all, Shoggoth is just the name of a race, and it's no longer suitable to address you by that."

"Yes, Master."

Shoggoth... or rather, Tekeli, nodded.

"But to be honest, you're also very cute when you're a pet."

Fang Mo subconsciously stroked his chin, "This sudden transformation into a maid, I can't just put you on my lap to pet... Uh, it's not that I can't pet you, it's just that the atmosphere seems to have become a bit strange..."

"Does the Master want me to become a dog?"

Tekeli tilted her head.

"No... What's going on with this world of Chainsaw Man, why does everyone want to become a dog, is there something wrong?" Fang Mo said, holding his forehead, "Can't we have something like cats? Ever heard of Luo Xiaohei?"

Hearing Fang Mo's words, Tekeli also lowered her head in thought.

Then quickly, her body reformed into a blob of melting black substance, and after writhing on the ground for a while, it slowly transformed into a strange-looking little black cat.

Tekeli obviously hasn't seen Luo Xiaohei.

But she is indeed very smart, and always observes Fang Mo closely, so she probably has a good grasp of Fang Mo's preferences.

The little black cat is very fluffy, and all four of its legs are very short, making it look adorably stubby. It has two round, bulbous eyes, but unlike most cats, its pupils are not vertical but horizontal, somewhat resembling those of an octopus... or perhaps a frog.

Besides, this little black cat has a small black top hat on its head, adding an air of mystery and cuteness to its appearance.

"Um, this appearance is nice."

Upon seeing Tekeli's new look, Fang Mo nodded in approval: "Good, you'll stay like this from now on."

"Okay, master."

The little black cat raised its paw to lick it, then suddenly extended a small black tentacle and made an OK gesture to Fang Mo.

"..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo twitched the corner of his eye. It really was a tentacle cat, huh?

"Forget it, that's not important." Fang Mo took a deep breath: "Anyway, we've tested everything we needed to, let's leave this place for now..."

Shaking his head, Fang Mo then left the safe house directly.

Seeing this, the little black cat Tekeli jumped directly into Fang Mo's shadow, just like a fish diving into water, and submerged into Fang Mo's shadow.

The safe house of Kishibe was not far from the villa, meaning it was also within Tokyo City.

As Fang Mo left the safe house and came to the outside world, he immediately heard the chaotic noise of explosions, mixed with terrified screams, and could see some flames not far away.

Fang Mo instinctively glanced at the mini-map in the upper right corner of Steve's field of vision.

A bunch of familiar chibi avatars were gathering a few streets away from him. At the same time, he saw an avatar of a woman with two horns and dark skin, looking very much like Tolka's master from before, except her skin color was very dark, almost catching up to Nick's.

"Hm?"

Seeing this, Fang Mo was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter: "Well, well, a dark-skinned one…"
