Chapter 16: The Abyss Widow – Mythical Potential Awakened

---

After leaving the arena and the middle school copy behind, Crow made his way to a secluded part of the forest. The air was still, almost unnervingly quiet. But Crow had come here for a reason—he needed a place where he could focus, where he could grow his beasts and prepare for what lay ahead.

However, as Crow settled into the quiet grove, he felt something unexpected. A sudden tremor of energy coursed through his Taming Space—a soft, almost imperceptible pulse. His eyes widened as he realized what it was.

Crow quickly summoned the Abyss Widow from his Taming Space. The ground beneath him rippled as a dark figure began to materialize. From the swirling shadows emerged a spider, sleek and glowing faintly with a dark aura. Its legs were long and thin, its body covered in black chitin that reflected the light in strange ways. Its eyes were glowing a vibrant purple, almost as if it had a hidden power waiting to be unlocked.

Crow's eyes narrowed as he observed the newly summoned Abyss Widow. It was weaker than his Divine creatures, but there was an undeniable power in its presence. It wasn't quite on the same level as his Divine Hell Hound or the White Tiger, but it had its own potential. Crow would need to train it and uncover the full depth of its abilities.

---

"Not bad," Crow murmured, stepping closer to the Abyss Widow, who seemed to gaze at him with a sense of understanding. The creature, although newly hatched, exuded an otherworldly energy that felt both strange and familiar to Crow. He could feel the creature's Mythical potential just beneath the surface. It was still young, but its abilities were already impressive.

Crow took a moment to assess his growing army of beasts. The Abyss Widow had just joined his ranks, but already, it was clear that it had potential—though not on the level of his Divine Beasts, its unique abilities made it an intriguing addition. He could already imagine the strategies he would employ using its webbing and nightmare abilities.

With a satisfied nod, Crow turned toward the path ahead. There were still many challenges to face, and his beasts were growing stronger with each battle.

"Let's see what else this world has in store for us," Crow said to himself, his eyes glinting with determination.
