Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

""I've seen uglier! You just don't cut it! You're not nearly as hideous as a monster should be! Don't you underestimate me, a little uglier and you might actually scare me! Keep it up, I'm sure you can do it!"

Eternal Night had always tried to torment this little monster.

But the things humans feared seemed to hold no fear for the little monster.

The Seven Demon Emperors had clearly made some alterations to this little Reverser's memories.

Time after time, Eternal Night delved into the little monster's dreams, wanting to find what it held dear, what it sought to protect.

Human fears all stem from the destruction of that which they love, whether by others or by themselves.

The little monster seemed indifferent to the torment inflicted upon it, but Eternal Night believed, it was human, not a demon...

As long as this little monster was still human, deep within its heart there had to be something it wanted to protect.

Indeed, such people and things existed.

But when the Seven Demon Emperors sent the Demon King Hunter to the Land of No Light to gather intel, they were not unprepared.

The memories most precious to the little monster had long been sealed.

The only ones who could awake those memories were probably the person in those memories, and the Seven Demon Emperors who trained it.

The reason they didn't completely erase those memories is because the Seven Demon Emperors needed the little monster to retain a certain degree of humanity.

Without an anchor of humanity, humans can become monsters far more twisted than any demon.

They didn't want the little monster to become such an uncontrollable being.

So in the mind of the little monster, there was someone very important to it, but even it couldn't remember who that person was.

It was precisely because it sought this person that it always obeyed the Seven Demon Emperors, hoping that one day, it could gain enough trust to unlock its sealed memories.

But I digress. After the collapse of the Land of No Light, the monster that Eternal Night had been tormenting was the first to leave the Land of No Light after Zhou Baiyu.

However, before leaving, the little monster remained irritable:

"Hey, why have I become transparent? Is this what dying feels like? Hahaha! Am I dying?"

"Eternal Night, Eternal Night! Are you still there? Bring some new monsters, I'm so bored, so bored, so bored! Ahhh!"

"Eh, could it be that you've bitten the dust? Hahahaha, I'm leaving this place, thanks for the hospitality! But seriously, are there no uglier monsters?"

If Eternal Night could know what's happening below, it would probably feel that aside from Jiang Xianwu, the Pioneer who defeated it head on, this Reverser could also bring a sense of defeat to it.

Of course, such a feeling of defeat also came from the Seven Demon Emperors.

In the end, Eternal Night could never become a Demon Emperor. Even though it had more potential than the Seven Demon Emperors, it never reached that step.

...

...

Advanced World, Hechuan City.

The darkness kept collapsing, and the light gradually covered the land.

Zhou Baiyu's breathing grew more and more labored, he was wounded, grievously wounded.

The Reverse Corruption caused his body to operate in overload, and the elimination of Absolute Moment, along with the damage brought by Eternal Night, caused him to feel deeply fatigued.

Wounded and weary, Zhou Baiyu found himself in a precarious situation.

In some ways, it was even more dangerous than facing Eternal Night.

With Eternal Night's death, after completing the task he absolutely had to do, Zhou Baiyu felt somewhat less obsessed.

Humans need obsessions; they enable one to sustain a body that can no longer fight when facing desperation.

But as Eternal Night fell, Zhou Baiyu seemed to be falling as well.

And as the Land of No Light served as a den for night demons, naturally it housed more than just Eternal Night.

They all hid in Eternal Night's dreams, some acting as nightmares, cut down by Zhou Baiyu; their bodies still alive but their consciousness already dead.

But most nightmares were created by Eternal Night.

When the Land of No Light collapsed, and human consciousness began to return to their bodies, the night demons too began to revive.

There were also many night demons that didn't enter the dreamscape but were guards on the perimeter, deployed all around.

While Zhou Baiyu and Eternal Night stirred light and darkness, colliding, many night demons dared not show themselves, intimidated by the aura Zhou Baiyu unleashed.

Only Eternal Night dared to contend with Zhou Baiyu clad in his crimson Crystal Stone armor.

But now, as Zhou Baiyu's life force steadily waned, reaching its limit, he maintained the posture that killed Eternal Night, motionless, appearing as if drained of all strength...

The night demons lurking in the shadows grew restless.

Eternal Night was dead, who would be the new king?

Naturally, it would be whoever killed the God Slayer first, they would become the new lord of the night demons.

They all wanted to become the new lord, especially those who touched Eternal Night's core secrets, now coveting the palm-sized Crystal Stone-like object inside Eternal Night's corpse.

That was one of the tools that could make one a god!

Even if given to any one of the Seven Demon Emperors, surely it could be exchanged for an unmatched status, right?

The night demons curled up in the darkness began to surge towards Zhou Baiyu.

The crimson Crystal Stone armor on Zhou Baiyu began to fade away bit by bit, with the death of Eternal Night, the light dispersed much of the darkness.

But as Zhou Baiyu reached his limit, the night demons again began to summon the night.

The watch on Zhou Baiyu's wrist was already showing dozens of cracks.

He was at his limit, the watch was at its limit, Absolute Moment had ended, and Reverse Corruption had exhausted the last of his energy."
