Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Buxun's brain simply couldn't comprehend this change, and he was stuck in place.

But he shouldn't have been stuck, because in the next second, the equally confused Zhou Baiyu had figured out what had happened.

Zhou Baiyu's footsteps were stable and forceful, as if he had mastered everything in the dark night.

He was shocked by the power of Absolute Moment and didn't hesitate to initiate the third transformation... a crystal ball.

[Item Name: What should I collect today?]

[Special Skill: Should hurt quite a bit if it hits someone on the head. Durability: 1/1.]

[Description: There are many balls in this world, some are kicked, some are slapped, and others are sucked. The crystal ball is envious; it doesn't want to be tied to divination. If possible... it wishes it were a spirit ball. When you throw this crystal ball, you'll find it has miraculous effects.]

[Status: Cannot be mutated, but even if Absolute Moment is canceled, the things contained within the ball cannot escape their confinement.]

The status description seemed somewhat different from the previous one.

Zhou Baiyu didn't dwell on it; his time was limited, and he needed to eliminate all threats in this building before it ended.

Seizing the moment when Buxun's brain malfunctioned, he casually threw out the crystal ball.

Buxun didn't realize what a vicious attack it was. In his perception, there was only a seemingly harmless spherical object moving extremely slowly in an arc that could not possibly hurt him...

Then, Buxun was gone.

Buxun might not have died, if the crystal ball were to shatter, he might have a chance to see daylight again.

But for now, he had become a live specimen inside the crystal ball.

A... lifelike horror demon king doll ball.

The shock in his heart intensified, this battle had ended overwhelmingly before it even began... making Zhou Baiyu feel somewhat unreal.

But when he gazed at the crystal ball, he really found...

The item description had changed, and in the description section, it became this:

[Description: Demon King Buxun Unhappy Ball. Indeed, it did not die, but its existence might be considered worse than death; when you're bored, you can take it out and talk to it, tell it not to get Jade Jade Disease. Of course, you'd better not break the ball, otherwise... the one imprisoned inside for so long might emerge in a furious rampage and kill you.]

Hey...

This thing suddenly became a bit hot to handle.

A crystal ball, and just like that, a demon king level threat was sealed?

In the images transmitted by the Space-Time Crystal Stone, Zhou Baiyu remembered that the Horror demon was a demon king level entity.

At this stage, only unparalleled experts like Guang Tongchen could contend with such beings.

But what he hadn't expected was...

That he had already defeated two in succession, easily to the point of being surreal.

"This is Absolute Moment, huh... crap, it's truly terrifying."

In the past, a Saint, leveraging the only Absolute Moment in his life, transitioned from being an insignificant chess piece toyed with by gods during the Twilight of the Gods, into a God Slayer.

The positive mutation brought by Absolute Moment was not a usual positive mutation.

Positive mutation is just one type among many forms of mutation, and the God of Difference and Chaos never liked things having only one outcome.

Mutation forms typical of items are divided into negative mutation, positive mutation, and malefic mutation.

Negative is when the item is so trivial that not only does it not help, but it could also be counterproductive, which is why most different walkers are looked down upon.

While positive mutation means the item indeed gains some properties that can help solve the current predicament.

As for malefic mutation, Zhou Baiyu only triggered it once, with a doll, the Connector Overlord.

And positive mutation is also divided into minor success, major success, and extremely positive mutation.

For example, if Zhou Baiyu mutates a sword, a negative mutation means the sword causes him to lose health when cutting others.

A malefic mutation means the sword has its own soul and controls its host to keep killing.

In positive mutations, a minor success means the sword crits with a normal attack.

A major success is when the sword can emit Sword Qi, killing enemies ten meters away.

And an extremely positive mutation is when you shout "Sword come!" and thousands of swords appear, raining down like a torrential downpour to completely annihilate the opponent, with the power to split mountains and fill seas.

This is the highest state of mutation that Mutators pursue—a rule-making item.

The most horrifying aspect of Absolute Moment... is that every mutation is aimed towards an extremely positive transformation.

And it's the kind that brings the current situation to an almost optimal solution.

Perhaps a normal Mutator might struggle to produce one extremely positively mutated item in their lifetime, but once Absolute Moment is initiated, this unattainable object appears en masse...

Leaving someone like Zhou Baiyu... doubting his life at the moment.

Doubting whether he is under some Illusion Technique... wondering why he could be so powerful.

Not long ago, he experienced a malefic mutation, which was his first taste of the terror of this profession.

But after experiencing Absolute Moment, Zhou Baiyu truly realized... just how powerful a Mutator's ultimate skills could be.

"Basically, a battle-type Doraemon..."

Having watched so many battle-oriented manga in childhood, like Dragon Ball, One Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho, Nine Dragons Ball Parade, Naruto, One Piece...

But in Zhou Baiyu's view, the truly most powerful characters are those from comedic manga.

Because they act completely out of the ordinary, often totally disrupting existing rules.

Mutators, or rather the old gods among the nine great old gods, particularly the God of Difference and Chaos—who was targeted by both new gods and old gods, somewhat embody this concept.
