Hanabi replied it's not him but he is the one whom you are referring to*"&+@)£.Shadow knelt, gritting his teeth, and said, "It's been a long time, so you're finally going to change it," at the end of his statement.
The Shadow Emperor held Lee's hand and, with glorified eyes, pleaded, "Please change it once again," sharing his thoughts with Lee.
"My people are saddened by my inability to alter things," he continued.
With a weak and unsteady voice, Lee questioned, "What? You just tried to kill me a moment ago, so who are you? Who am I in your eyes that you would go so far just to see me? Have we known each other before? And what is this enormously powerful talent? Why are you hurt? At least tell me what's happening."
Shadow hesitated before telling Lee, "You haven't fully awakened yet. Wait for the right moment to come. At that point, you will realize who you truly are."
Then, Shadow apologized to Hanabi for ruining her master's plan. However, Hanabi had two thoughts—one, to take advantage of the situation, and two, to expand her master's power. She told Shadow that if he agreed to one condition, he could live while her master made his next move. She assured him that this time, her master would save his people.
However, Lee couldn't understand the next sentence.
On the other hand, Shadow bowed and begged, "Please be merciful and give #@*&^%$! one last chance."
Hanabi roared across the sky, shattering the dark clouds, and asked, "Did you forget who you are? Do you really think I will let you live as you please? Do you think your master can act however he wants across heaven and earth? If he wishes, I will conquer everything from Hell to Heaven! Even if the galaxy shatters, if #@@#$%^& comes, I will bend them to my master's will!"
With a killing glare, she continued, "Don't forget my nickname. And in his current state as a mere mortal, he doesn't even know who he once was!"
Another wave of killing intent surged as she locked eyes with Shadow, warning him through their mind link: *If our eyes meet again, do not interfere with my plan to aid our master.*
Shadow hesitated for a long moment before finally speaking. "If this is what my master wants, then I am in no place nor have the power to stop it. So, tell me—what do you want? What is your condition?"
Lee, astonished and terrified by their conversation, hesitated to ask a question.
But Hanabi turned to Lee with an energetic smile and pleading eyes. "Master, I have a question. Could you answer me, Master?"
She then asked, "Will you obtain an extra army while you can crush your opponents with your own power, Master?"
Lee clenched his fists and said, "I have endured every single act of bullying. Now, if I had an army and friends I cherished, I would want the power to protect them."
Hearing this, Hanabi smirked and murmured, "'My master has spoken.'" Then, she thought to herself, *Will my master see me as a friend or family? I'm curious now.*
Shadow tried to say something, but Hanabi shot him a glare. "Are you trying to interfere again? I think I warned you enough last time."
Shadow immediately sealed his lips, and Hanabi happily turned back to Lee.
"I know what you want, Master," she said. "I will select it for you."
Hanabi then told Shadow, "I can exchange your life for one skill—your passive skill. And I will be the one to choose it."
Shadow murmured to himself, "If I hesitate, will she let me live?"
Then, he sighed and added, "And… will she also spare my people? If she does, then maybe I can expect more. Just tell me if it's within my limits—I will give anything."
Hanabi smirked. "You know me very well, don't you?"
