The boost after this evolution was unprecedentedly powerful, and the t-virus was also fully developed during this evolution.

Compared to previous Mutations, this evolution was the true development of the t-virus in its literal sense, resulting in a massive increase in all attributes.

Even so, Lilith's gaze did not linger on these attributes; instead, it was firmly locked on the new skills column.

[bloodline egg]: Can automatically enter a self-reproduction state once a month, producing 2-3 bloodline eggs.

bloodline eggs can parasitize and fuse with any carbon-based organism, transforming them into absolutely loyal "Bloodline Kin."

Kin possess their own thoughts and cognition; the bloodline egg will not change the kin's memories in any way, but it will strengthen their bodies.

[Mimicry]: A form-simulation ability obtained after devouring a large amount of humanoid genes.

Consuming mana allows the user to temporarily transform their main body into a humanoid form, significantly reducing energy consumption; some abilities will be restricted or change their form of expression.

[Intimidation]: A sovereign pressure formed after merging the auras of multiple top predators.

Active release can form an "Aura Domain" with a radius of three hundred meters.

Causes mental suppression, slowed movement, and even paralyzing fear in targets within the domain whose life intensity is lower than the user's.

In a passive state, it naturally emits a cold aura that keeps strangers away.

Self-reproduction... once a month... Lilith's mouth twitched imperceptibly.

Even with mental preparation, seeing such a blunt description, that sense of absurdity still wouldn't go away.

But logic quickly overrode the discomfort; putting aside the embarrassing method of generation, this "bloodline egg" could be called a divine skill.

No mating required, a stable monthly production of powerful fighters and loyal subordinates—this was simply the ultimate tool for expanding one's power.

And "Mimicry"... Lilith's heart gave a heavy throb.

Even though she had become a Vampire Bat in this life, deep in her soul, she still distinguished herself from those animals that lived solely on instinct.

This was her final line as Lilith, rather than a beast.

Once she forgot her past identity as a human, she would completely become a beast, eventually losing the most basic humanity and becoming a monster that only lived for slaughter.

This was something Lilith could not ignore; Lilith was still Lilith, she was still herself, and the memories of her soul's essence could not be changed.

Unless she gave up her original memories, but then, she would no longer be herself.

Without hesitation.

Lilith focused her mind on the "Mimicry" skill.

"Buzz—"

The blood and qi around her body surged violently!

A dark red blood mist gushed out from every gap in her bone armor, instantly enveloping Lilith's massive body completely.

The blood mist swirled and contracted violently, and the silhouette inside collapsed and deformed at an incredible speed!

Bones emitted dense cracking sounds of reorganization, the thick bone armor receded like a tide and merged into her body, the violent muscle lines became soft, and the savage head structure was reshaped.

Only three seconds.

The blood mist dissipated.

The original behemoth with a thirty-two-meter wingspan had disappeared.

In its place was a small figure.

She looked like a human girl of about seven or eight years old, approximately 1.3 meters tall.

A head of snow-white hair reaching her calves was like the finest silver satin, moving without wind, fluttering slightly behind her, the tips almost touching the ground.

Amidst the hair, two small bat ears with slight fuzz at the tips could be faintly seen, twitching sensitively at this moment.

Her face possessed an exquisite beauty that transcended human limits, her skin so pale it was nearly transparent, revealing a faint, healthy pink.

Most striking were those eyes, like rubies, making one captivated.

But now, those eyes held a hint of daze, blankly observing her raised little hands and her current appearance.

A small nose, pale pink lips.

Her whole face combined the roundness of a child with an elven clarity, so cute it made one's heart tremble, wanting to reach out and gently pinch those cheeks with baby fat.

However, anyone who had such a thought would be frozen in the next second by the cold aura emanating from the depths of those eyes.

Her body was petite and delicate, enveloped by a red mist; the form-fitting dark red mist outlined a slender, undeveloped silhouette.

Her bare feet were small and exquisite, her toes rounded, now lightly touching the rock.

And behind her, a pair of silver-white Bat Wings, forming an exaggerated contrast with her petite body, were slowly unfolding.

The wingspan was nearly four meters, the wing membrane as thin as a cicada's wing, appearing translucent under the light, with a fine network of blood vessels inside glowing with a red light.

The wing bones were long and elegant, the edges naturally tapering; gone were the savage bone blades from combat, yet they still carried a sense of fluid power.

Now, these huge Bat Wings were like a cloak, closing slightly forward, gently wrapping most of her body.

Only an exquisite but cold little face and the snow-white hair hanging outside the wings were visible.

The red mist enveloping the little girl also dissipated at this moment.

She stood there, silver hair falling, giant wings wrapping her body.

She exuded a dreamlike cute appearance, coupled with the aura of a top predator that kept strangers away.

Two extreme traits coexisted paradoxically and harmoniously in her, forming a strange charm that made one want to come closer to protect her while instinctively shrinking back in fear.

Looking at her pale, small palm, Lilith gently clenched her fist.

The sense of power was still there, not diminished by the shrinking of her body, but her body lacked the inherent slaughtering weapons of her original form.

"So this is... Mimicry."

She spoke, her voice crisp with a hint of a childish tone, but her tone was flat and calm, without any of the emotional ups and downs a child should have.

Good.

This is enough.

Lilith regained her composure and stepped barefoot onto the cold rock.

Turning her head, she looked at the two quiet bloodline eggs inside the Cave, a complex light flashing in her ruby-like eyes.

Then, she turned and looked the other way.

In the shadows not far outside the Cave, three scouts who had infiltrated using A-Level Stealth Talents were holding their breath, their hearts racing.

In front of them, a two-meter-tall figure appeared, blocking all the sights inside the Cave.

Even without witnessing the creature in the Cave, the suffocating pressure just now had fully proven that Apocalypse was a Hunter with an SSS-Level Talent.

Their mission was complete.
