Military boots stepped across the shattered rubble, making a crisp sound.
Lilith had already changed back into that black-and-red Gothic military uniform. Her snow-white long hair was draped behind her head, pinned down by her military cap, with only a few stray strands hanging over her forehead.
She stopped a few paces in front of Forti.
Forti was still prone on the ground, his hands propping himself up on the cracked surface. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.
Sweat mixed with blood slid down his face, and the injuries he had sustained earlier were Healing at an astonishing Speed!
The new skin showed a healthy pinkish hue; only his bare upper body and the bloodstains remaining on his torn pants proved the reality of the brutal battle that had just occurred.
Although she hadn't seen what the Recovery Speed of a Hunter on the Bloodline path was like, Forti's current Recovery Speed was definitely not inferior to a pure Bloodline path Hunter.
Even with his terrifyingly high 205 points of constitution, combined with a werewolf's Self-healing Speed, he clearly shouldn't have been able to achieve this.
Forti struggled to lift his head, propping himself up to slowly stand.
His clothes were in tatters, and bruises and abrasions from the battle remained on his exposed skin, but his Spirit and energy were different now.
Those originally dark gold eyes had now completely turned into a dark red color, originating from the sa source as Lilith's.
He looked at Lilith and opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say sothing, but in the end, he only lowered his head slightly and spat out two words in a dry, hoarse voice.
"Master."
There was no humiliation, no struggle, as if this title naturally belonged to her.
His mory and thoughts hadn't been directly tampered with; he still clearly rembered who he was, where he ca from, and what kind of ambitions he held.
But facing Lilith, the mark forcibly branded deep within his soul prevented him from harboring even the slightest thought of betrayal or defiance.
This was a higher level of control, based on the very essence of life.
Lilith's ruby-like vertical pupils watched him calmly, showing little surprise at the word "Master."
She nodded slightly and spoke in a crisp, youthful, yet unquestionable voice.
"Open your panel and bring up your talent details."
She wanted to understand this new vassal's trump card—exactly what kind of talent allowed him to activate and possess so many talents simultaneously.
In the battle just now, Forti had displayed many abilities; besides werewolf transformation, there were also giantification, super-fast Recovery, and so on.
This was definitely not sothing a single talent could achieve, so Lilith was very interested in his SSS-Level Talent. At the sa ti, she wanted to see how the other's talent compared to her own in terms of strength.
Forti did not hesitate in the slightest, nor could he.
With a slight movent of his mind, a translucent, ghostly blue light screen that only he and Lilith could see expanded, listing his core data in detail.

Even with Lilith's calm disposition, her ruby vertical pupils couldn't help but contract slightly when she saw this detailed panel.
What a "Hegemony Trade"!
Forcibly copying talents! Forcibly seizing attributes!
It could even inlay copied talents into its own frawork like plug-ins, perfectly inheriting their effects! There was even a flexible thod like rental!
No wonder this guy was so tough; he was practically covered from head to toe in various passive Recovery and life-enhancent talents and skills!
From the B-Level [Rapid Healing] to the A-Level [Regenerative Bones], then to the S-Level [Super Spirit], and the SS-Level [Bloodline - Werewolf] copied from Fenrir.
Combined with his own [life] attribute skills and a high constitution of 203 points, if one couldn't crush him with overwhelming force, he was simply an unkillable war fortress!
The opponent clearly intended to use the [Hegemony Trade] talent to simultaneously tread the developnt paths of Corpse Slaughter and Bloodline.
Moreover, looking at the usage of his inlay slots, his ambition was obviously enormous; he wasn't satisfied with simple Recovery and transformation.
He deliberately left two SS-Level and four S-Level inlay slots empty, clearly searching for more powerful and compatible passive-buff talents.
Lilith's gaze fell on the inlaid S-Level Talent [Super Spirit], and she thought back to William's [Super Strength] earlier.
It seed this guy wanted to collect the four major passive cornerstone talents: [Super Strength], [Super Speed], [Super Constitution], and [Super Spirit]!
Once successful, his basic attributes would receive comprehensive passive bonuses, enough to beco a top-tier SS-Level Talent.
Combined with the ability of [Hegemony Trade] to continuously copy and inlay other combat or auxiliary talents, he, like her, possessed infinite growth potential.
However, while the final ability to infinitely inlay D-Level and below talents seed powerful, most D-Level and below talents were repetitive. Take the current population of Apocalypse, which was over a hundred thousand; those with D-Level talents or below accounted for more than a hundred thousand.
But even with so many people, there were currently only about three hundred types. Even if the whole world were added up, the number of such low-level talent types wouldn't exceed ten thousand.
But even so, gathering nearly ten thousand talents into one body would be enough to steadily reach the peak.
One was to evolve endlessly without a limit or level, gaining skills and massive attribute surges with each evolution.
The other was Hegemony Trade, which would eventually sit upon nearly ten thousand talents and could beco powerful in a short ti. How strong would other SSS-Level Talents be?
Even if they weren't the type of talent that required ti to increase strength, at the very least, they would possess powerful chanics.
The Hive Lord Hunter she encountered in Raccoon City earlier—her SSS-Level Talent should have been of the powerful chanics type.
That's why, even if she had wanted to kill the opponent back then, she simply couldn't have done it.
