Now looking at Lin Feng's calm expression, she felt at ease and slowly spoke:
"As you said, during the superpower awakening trial challenge, I encountered the Tier Three Mutant in the ruins' negative third level. Fortunately, it wasn't wearing armor, so no matter how strong it was, it was still just flesh and blood."
"After a round of fighting, I quickly figured out a solution."
"Initially, I was thinking about how to develop my superpower to deal with the mutant comparable to Mid-Tier Two. But unexpectedly, I, having advanced to Level 19, had full capability to kill a Tier Three Mutant."
"So the physical superpower didn't change."
"The change occurred after I killed it. A door appeared on the mutant's body, different from the last time during the Tier One Evolution. Behind the door was energy wave identical to the superpower in my body."
"Out of caution, I initially didn't intend to step in, but as the challenge ended, the entire Spirit World started to collapse, and I had no choice but to leave through this door."
"But just as I entered the door, I was engulfed in endless darkness, unable to see my fingers."
"It was then that I understood the dark world before me was the true superpower awakening trial. I needed to relearn how to perceive the outside world in this darkness to regain my mobility."
"Then began a long and lonely exploration stage."
"The flow of time inside and outside seemed different; I felt as if several days had passed, making me very anxious."
"Finally, I used my internal superpower to fuse with the outside world, eventually regaining a certain perception ability, allowing me to walk freely in the darkness and find a door to leave."
"But beyond that..."
At this point, confusion and bewilderment appeared in Chen Shanshan's eyes. Lin Feng didn't speak, just quietly watched her, waiting for her to continue.
After a moment, Chen Shanshan spoke again:
"My body kept sinking, like being submerged in the ocean, unable to breathe."
"Then I saw Dad and Mom, they slowly emerged from the shadows behind me and pulled me out of the Spirit World."
"Then a torrent of information flooded into my mind like a deluge, and then I woke up."
Lin Feng squinted slightly. After Zong Shiyue's prior explanation, he actually understood Chen Shanshan's experience quite well.
These anomalies were likely a legacy gift left by one of her parents after becoming a god.
"That information..." Lin Feng finally spoke.
Chen Shanshan gradually regained her composure:
"It was all about the superpower in my body, called Dark Domain. Specifically, it's a form of existence known as Dark Energy. It doesn't react with any matter or energy, and humans can't detect it..."
"But after being released from my body, it can be used by me to shield physical or energy presences in reality. Controlled to a certain degree, it can even directly erase a target."
"However, I am more inclined to use this superpower against or hunt beings much stronger than me."
Lin Feng nodded in firm agreement:
"The Dark Domain is more like an assassin's auxiliary ability."
"How large an area can you release now?"
Chen Shanshan contemplated for a moment, raising her hand towards the car's cargo before her.
The next second, a black energy gathered in the space, gradually enveloping the freezer.
The freezer inside the combat vehicle has four cubic meters, a four-hundred-liter capacity, with the Dark Domain currently able to cover half, about two cubic meters.
Enough to encase an entire person inside.
Reaching its limit, Chen Shanshan quickly retracted it back within herself, ceasing the superpower output.
Using the Dark Domain was too energy-consuming. The recently filled stomach shrank by at least twenty percent.
Just two or three seconds consumed one-fifth, or two hundred grams, of Level 20 Evolutionary Meat.
Eating a kilogram of jerky can only sustain ten seconds of Dark Domain presence.
Though short-lived, in the blink of high-level confrontation, it is enough to determine victory or defeat.
Chen Shanshan withdrew her hands:
"Previously at Level 19, I could release an area about the size of a basketball. Now I can conceal about two or three people. The enhancement from the tier jump evolution is indeed strong!"
Lin Feng's mouth twitched slightly. It wasn't just strong; if she wanted to attack him now, unless he used firearms to deflect the offensive, fighting and fleeing outside the Dark Domain's maximum release range, even he would be assassinated by Chen Shanshan.
The Dark Domain's effect is virtually rogue-like.
Once completely enveloped, it disconnects the brain from all external connections, leaving one at her mercy.
When Chen Shanshan advances to Late Tier Two, the Dark Domain's released size scale will likely be as before, engulfing the entire internal space of the combat vehicle, well over fifty cubic meters.
In practical situations, especially in close combat, this is of significant meaning, ensuring Chen Shanshan's invincibility.
The ceiling of enemies she can defeat is defined by her break-defense limit. As long as she can breach the enemy's outer armor defense causing deadly damage, even a Tier Two Late Stage Evolver, can be battled equally.
It can be said that after Chen Shanshan advances to a Tier Two Evolver, the security issues troubling Lin Feng have been thoroughly resolved.
The additional evolutionary meat cost compared to this is hardly worth mentioning.
However, what's currently bothering Lin Feng is whether to disclose Zong Shiyue's predictions to Chen Shanshan.
After much thought, Lin Feng decided not to tell her yet, letting her grow a bit, gain some combat experience, before fully revealing her identity and connections with the Northern Eternal Night Empire.
