"Clack!"
Alex took a step forward, moving closer to the dark little tree.
When Alex reached the tree, he squatted down, carefully examining every inch of it. A look of excitement spread across his face.
"As expected of a genius creator, even capable of creating superpowers..."
"It's a pity, but you're no longer needed." Alex stood up, his right hand gently touching the tree's branches. He began chanting softly, as if reciting an incantation.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Go ahead, devour it!"
"Whoosh—"
As soon as he finished speaking, the small tree instantly transformed into a stream of light, merging into his body.
"Boom..."
At the same time, Alex felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if countless ants were crawling over him, or as if he had been struck all over with a taser.
He also felt his head buzzing, as if it were about to explode.
