Peter observed from the side for a while and found that Daisy's efforts were indeed visible to the naked eye. Before entering S.H.I.E.L.D., she was just an ordinary Asian beauty, even slightly malnourished due to a long period of wandering.
But now, the changes in Daisy could be completely described as a thorough transformation. Not only had her figure and appearance improved by more than a single tier compared to before, but her combat capability was also remarkable.
Three to five intern agents in the training camp striking at her simultaneously couldn't even hold out for more than a few rounds under her hands.
This kind of combat strength, while not comparable to Black Widow before consuming the Okuchi no Makami Devil Fruit, was at least at the level of an ordinary Red Room female agent.
Being able to train to this level in just a few months showed Daisy's diligence and talent. After observing for a bit, he was certain that Daisy had already grown to a degree even more excellent than her self from several years later in the original lore.
Peter clapped his hands lightly, opening his mouth to speak in an indisputable tone:
"Alright, today's training ends here. Everyone is dismissed."
The trainees on the ground rapidly scrambled up. A young man with a buzz cut held his swollen cheek and stumbled toward the exit with staggering steps.
Several other trainees also supported one another, each avoiding the area where Daisy was located, moving rapidly against the base of the wall. Within a mere few seconds, only Peter and Daisy were left inside the massive training ground.
Seeing Peter, who had been "constantly avoiding her," finally appear, a visible ripple fluctuated within Daisy's beautiful, large eyes.
However, she didn't choose to immediately pounce over, but instead turned her head away in a fit of pique, shifting her gaze toward the right wall and leaving Peter with an exquisite profile.
Peter looked at this face. Her smooth black hair clung to the edge of her cheek, allowing the soft bone structure and facial features characteristic of an Easterner to be perfectly presented before his eyes.
It had to be said that after being accustomed to Western beauties like Gwen, Felicia, and Natasha, seeing such an Eastern face inevitably stimulated his affection for this girl even more.
He stepped forward, shortening the distance between the two of them. Daisy still wanted to hide, but how could she be Peter's match?
Using just a single Shave, Peter instantaneously appeared right beside her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his embrace.
Daisy's body stiffened, her entire being instinctively exerting force in the opposite direction to struggle, but her body simply couldn't break free.
After resisting a few times, her struggling movements grew smaller and smaller, and finally, she abandoned her struggles completely, leaning against Peter's shoulder and feeling this long-lost aura that made her feel at ease.
Yet her mouth still stubbornly argued:
"So the Lord Arbiter still remembers a little nobody like me? I thought that with female heroes like Ghost-Spider and Nightingale swirling around you, it would already be completely sufficient, and you would have long forgotten me to the nine skies!"
Peter helplessly stroked her back gently, whispering near her ear:
"In this matter, I indeed didn't consider your feelings, but my not letting you participate was out of safety considerations.
You should have also witnessed it during the live broadcast; those fellows were far too dangerous. Even if I immediately stimulated the power in your bloodline, you would only be delivering a free kill if you faced them."
Speaking up to here, he paused, ultimately making up his mind as he opened his mouth:
"But speaking of which, your current physical fitness should also be completely sufficient to cope with that hidden power within your bloodline, so come with me."
While speaking, Peter released Daisy and lifted his foot to walk toward the elevator leading to the underground secret training ground. Daisy hesitated for a moment, but a brief second later, she still chose to follow.
Ding.
Before long, the elevator doors opened, and the two of them appeared in an underground space used to house special prisoners.
This place was quiet enough and wouldn't be disturbed by others, making it precisely suitable for letting Daisy awaken the Inhuman bloodline over her body.
Indicating for Daisy to find a sealed cell and sit down properly, a burst of light surfaced over the surface of the spatial ring worn on Peter's left-hand finger.
In the next split second, a long, strip-shaped silver-gray metallic object appeared within his hand—precisely the Obelisk, codenamed "084."
Under normal circumstances, anyone lacking the Inhuman bloodline who touched this Obelisk would be petrified instantly. But before Peter, this petrifying power was purely swinging a broadsword in front of Guan Yu, naturally unable to display even a single shred of effect.
Peter casually delivered the Obelisk into the cell via a transport device, reminding Daisy across the glass:
"In a moment, inhale as much of the mist inside as possible. During the process, some reactions that make you feel afraid might appear; there is no need to panic excessively.
With me around, even if an accident occurs, I can ensure you return to your original state in the first instance without any abnormality arising."
In the original television series, the Terrigen Mist within this Obelisk was divided equally among three people. The dispersion of energy caused Daisy's final awakening effect to be heavily discounted.
Now, this entire single Terrigen Crystal belonged exclusively to Daisy alone to enjoy, plus with the restoration power of the Horse Talisman acting as a safety net, it was thought that this evolution process would thoroughly alter her life form.
Hearing Peter's reminder, Daisy nodded toward Peter across the glass, subsequently extending her right hand, her fingertips touching the surface of the Obelisk.
The exact split second her fingers contacted the Obelisk, the irregular patterns on its surface lit up with a hazy blue glow.
The light diffused along the patterns, the outer metallic shell began to peel away, and the internal blue crystal body began to be exposed to the air. The blue crystal body released a gray mist, the mist diffusing in all directions and wrapping Daisy's body inside.
Daisy was startled, instinctively wanting to hold her breath, but recalling Peter's reminder, she forcefully abandoned this thought, turning around to breathe deeply instead.
As this peculiar mist was inhaled into her nasal cavity, in the next split second, she subconsciously emitted a muffled groan of agony. At the same time, a layer of black hard shell began to visibly congeal over her body to the naked eye.
Seeing this state of affairs, Daisy was shocked, instinctively wanting to retract her hand.
"Don't release your hand! Do not resist this power! Carefully sense its alteration to your body!" Peter opened his mouth at the appropriate time.
His voice became Daisy's reassuring pill. Daisy thus endured the agony forcefully; not only did she not let go, but she firmly gripped that crystal instead, even crushing it in one go.
The exact split second the crystal was crushed, the petrification speed over Daisy's body abruptly accelerated by more than tenfold.
The black rock-hard shell climbed at a violent speed, bypassing her chest, climbing up her neck, and ultimately covering her completely. Daisy completely transformed into a human-shaped stone sculpture.
The underground space fell into a thorough state of dead silence because of this!
A white glow symbolizing the Horse Talisman lit up within Peter's hand, while he quietly activated the Byakugan at the same time, observing the changes within Daisy's body.
Once Daisy's vital signs showed fluctuations, he would immediately shatter the protective shield before him and utilize the Horse Talisman to help Daisy restore her body's abnormalities.
Time flew past, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had already elapsed. During the process, Daisy's vital signs remained stable throughout, and Peter didn't choose to paint a lily and render it redundant.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed, a crack appeared on the surface of the stone sculpture. The crack diffused from the center toward the surroundings.
Crack.
Closely following, a fair arm forcefully broke free from the black hard shell.
The exact split second the hard shell shattered, an invisible shockwave expanded outward rapidly, instantly shattering the glass protective shield before her, flipping over the metallic table beside her, and scrambling the entire underground space into a chaotic mass.
Peter, however, stood firmly on the spot like a javelin throughout, the corner of his mouth unable to resist hooking into a smile:
Exactly as he expected, after completely absorbing the entirety of the Terrigen Crystal, Daisy's power had received an almost epic-level buff!
