Controlling the Shadows

"Woaaaah. It's really cold." Said Vance as the Godly Shadow source merged with his body.

As it merged, Vance was constantly checking his body to make sure everything went smoothly. A short while later of Vance feeling a cold type of energy flow through his body and assimilate with him, he suddenly shivered, and then was fine.

"Wow. It... kinda feels really good now. That's a pretty good feeling. But I also feel a connection with a lot of the stuff around me. I bet I can guess what it is too."

Saying this, Vance turned his head to look at the shadows in the room. As if they sensed his gaze, they began to move in a way that seemed to suggest they were sentient beings sending a prayer to their god.

"Out of all the stuff I've experienced so far, this might be one of the weirdest. Meeting god, fine. Being reincarnated/transmigrated, cool. Getting a system and becoming really strong, awesome. Getting a bunch of lovely ladies who like, dare I say, love me, fucking fantastic. But being prayed to by shadows is fucking crazy. Actually, thinking back I might have to retract that statement."

As Vance was debating whether or not him becoming another form of God was the weirdest thing to happen to him, Celine called out.

"Master, are you going to try out the abilities? I believe debating what, that has happened to you, is the weirdest is a sort of time waste. After all, technically speaking, your and my existences are very weird."

"That... is actually true. Okay okay. Let's just see what exactly the God of Shadows can do."

Saying this, Vance closed his eyes in an attempt to closely focus on the connection between him and the shadows. Unbeknownst to him, the shadows seemed to wiggle more and more the deeper his concentration became. Eventually, he opened his eyes. As he did so he moved his hand towards his shadow and made a grabbing movement. From his shadow, an inky black sword slowly formed and reached his grasp.

"Now that... that is cool. Cannot wait to merge with other Godly Sources. Even better is, I don't have to look for them. Hmm, if I can turn the shadows into a physical sword, I wonder if I can make them pierce as spikes. Celine, let's go outside and test it."

Saying so, Vance lead Celine outside and created a practice dummy. After placing it, he lifted his hand and spoke one word

"Pierce."

As the last part of the word left his mouth, the shadows around him began to quickly converge in front of him. They then began to quickly physically manifest as a line of spikes that pierced the dummy.

"Shadow powers are badass. I bet there's more. Well, I'll have to experiment with it anyway. For now, I think I'll merge with a darkness source next."

"Very good idea Master. Shadows and Darkness, are very compatible. This should allow you to merge those two concepts together for you to become much stronger."

"Just wait until I merge with all kinds of sources. It'll be a lot cooler when I can mix them together."

As he said this, Vance with Celine following behind, headed back towards his room.
