"For I am the beginning and the end," I uttered .
"Black Hole!" The words escaped my lips naturally, a performance to test the limits of my Shapeshifts realism. It was an experiment to see how far my acting goes .
As the words echoed in the air, an eerie transformation took hold. My left eye succumbed to an abyssal black, and the world around me shifted into a grayscale realm, defined by stark white lines replacing the vibrant colors.
In my eye, the visualization of a black hole emerged, distorting the very fabric of reality. The wall started to twist, consumed by an irresistible force, dissolving into nothingness .
I could feel that the walls were now being drawn into a space that only I and Eun Ha could access.
"This power is really strong!" I couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, marveling at the performance of my newly copied skill. It had more uses than just creating black holes.
In fact, I realized after gaining the power that it wasn't exactly a black hole I was creating. Instead, it was like a gate to another space. Because this space sucked everything, including light, it created the illusion of a black hole.

[+Skill Points]
A sudden notification jolted me from my thoughts .
"Wait, why did I suddenly gain a lot of experience and two skill points?" I pondered the unexpected rewards.
After closer inspection, I discovered that I had unknowingly completed a mission—the mission to take a life. And judging from the amount of EXP, it was a very powerful person to boot.
That person must have the worst luck in the world. Imagine dying because of a random skill.
I quickly figured out what was going on. Realizing the situation, I used vibrations to subtly sent my message to the girls, "Stay here and wait for me."
Then, I swiftly turned invisible, created a hole above me, and soared into the sky.
*SWOOOOOSH!
In the sky.
What greeted me were multiple people rushing towards us. My newly trained scouts hadn't detected them earlier because they were quite far away.
But, now that they were rushing in, I could discern that there were many of them, and I could sense some dangerously strong individuals among them.
It would be risky for the girls to face these guys. Eun Ha and Rei Mei might be strong, but they don't have experience fighting other gifted.
This was the reason why I didn't want them to come up with me. In this type of battle, they would only be a liability to me.
I swiftly closed the hole and soared towards the group of intruders.
I had to protect the girls no matter what, as losing them might result in losing my copied powers. Even if I didn't lose them, there was a time limit, and my skills would expire. So, I treated those three girls like my most valuable property.

'It seems Cerebrum was not holding back at all,' I sighed, glancing at the stats of the individuals I found to be the most dangerous.
They were all high-leveled, so I had to enhance my Mind Eye.
Even with that, the information I could gather was small compared to ordinary humans, especially that Zang Jing guy. He was still filled with question marks. Unfortunately, I had already run out of skill points, so I couldn't further improve my Mind Eye.
"What did you do to one of our members?" Zhang spoke up.
'Member? Could that be the person that I accidentally killed using my black hole?' I thought to myself. It was the only answer I could think of.
"Dead," I answered with a nonchalant expression.
Their faces turned sour after hearing my words, and an idea popped into my mind. The person in question was confident enough to get close to me alone, and I didn't even sense anything, so it must be a very powerful gifted.
"That human was too weak. I hope you all don't die too quickly , or it would be boring," I taunted them with a mocking smile.
