Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"But we all know, fairy tales are scarce. More often than not, the human world is hell itself."

"Back then, when someone said they would take you away, I thought it was better than staying there, being sacrificed to the Demon Clan."

"But after we were separated... I always remembered our promise."

Zhou Baiyu looked at this little monster, this person in the Memory Palace who was called Zhou Shou.

At that moment, he realized if he didn't give Zhou Shou that name... maybe history would have changed, right?

Would there be an overlay of timespace?

People's memories would undergo some complete alterations.

However, such changes seemed pointless. He felt that the name Zhou Shou was very good.

This surname, it showed that he truly regarded Zhou Shou as a younger brother.

But it was also at this moment that Zhou Baiyu sensed something was amiss.

He noticed a time loop—

Was it because he named Zhou Shou here, that the name Zhou Shou existed in the Memory Palace?

But the reality was, because there was a Zhou Shou in the Memory Palace, he wanted to give the name Zhou Shou, right?

Who is the starting point, and who is the endpoint?

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He thought of something even more terrifying.

The moment he decided to become a different walker, and the Memory Palace emerged in his mind—Zhou Shou appeared.

If his encounter with Zhou Shou was during the Endless Night... then doesn't it mean that in the call of the Endless Night, the existence of the predecessor was presumed?

And in the calls before that, the existence of the predecessor was assumed to be nonexistent...

Zhou Baiyu felt there was something wrong here, as if someone was manipulating the timeline from behind. This manipulation formed a loop.

And such loops could lead to a huge "bug" in time.

What he didn't know was, a few months earlier, nine middlemen had also discussed this matter.

They had not come to a conclusion and did not understand why this timeline was so special.

Confused about it, he decided not to dwell on it for now, as Zhou Shou's reaction also distracted Zhou Baiyu from the doubts in his mind for the moment.

"Are you... Big brother?"

As Zhou Baiyu kept bringing up past memories, those sealed memories deep within the soul of the little monster... broke the seal.

He remembered.

Zhou Shou was stunned. If there was anything beautiful in the life of a monster, it was definitely the time he spent with his elder brother.

Memories were like light breaking through the dark night, one bright streak after another, shining irresistibly into those dark corners.

Zhou Shou clenched his teeth, recalling scene after scene from the past.

Zhou Baiyu was now at the end of his strength; the claws of the night demon had not pierced his organs, but they had still caused him significant injuries.

He slowly walked forward, and Zhou Shou, who was standing there dazed, didn't know how to react to the approaching figure.

Brutal training, twisted dreams, powerful enemies—everything was not scary.

This was how he had grown up, after all. Due to his special constitution, he could devour corrupt species and acquire traits by killing at random; he had been raised like a monster since he was a child.

He would feel excited at the brink of death, excited when he saw an enemy stronger than himself, excited when he killed an opponent, excited when his prey begged for mercy, and still excited when in danger.

Nothing fearful in the life of a monster had ever caused it to be afraid.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt fear.

Fear that what was in front of him was still just a dream.

Fearing that the Endless Night had finally found his weakness, creating a dream.

Not until the man in front of him, the brother from his memories, drew closer, and under the increasingly dim sky, the two figures merged and then enveloped him in an embrace.

For the two brothers from the apocalypse many years ago, their foreheads touched each other's.

"Brother, I've found you..."

Zhou Baiyu had no more strength left, overwhelming fatigue washed over him, but he dared not fall asleep.

He was actually very afraid.

Not afraid that his actions would cause problems with the timeline, not afraid of the person behind him who was meddling with the timeline.

He was afraid that he wouldn't get to tell his brother the words he wanted to say before the mission ended, before the summoning was over. He feared that if he couldn't meet Zhou Shou this time, he would not know when he'd be able to again.

In the history of Long Xia, there was a pair of divine brothers that Zhou Baiyu greatly envied.

He didn't long for a brother or a sibling, but if he truly had one, Zhou Baiyu hoped his relationship with his brother would be like that of the Su brothers from history.

In his last moments of consciousness, he uttered the words he'd always wanted to say to Zhou Shou:

"To be brothers with you life after life, to further resolve the unfinished bonds of the human world."

Zhou Shou didn't actually understand the meaning of these words, but he felt their weight coming from his brother.

The little monster, at this moment, experienced emotions like never before.

Because he had experienced warmth in his childhood, he hadn't become a true monster like those stitched together.

But in this moment, he was still very confused.

He remembered, he remembered everything... but how does one be good to another person?

He had never learned.

Having been trained like a monster from a young age, he now realized that he didn't even know how to show the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

But there was at least one thing he knew how to do.

Killing and destruction.

The night around him grew thicker, and for the first time, Zhou Shou felt an urgent desire to destroy these night demons.

He had never wanted to kill anything because of personal feelings.

It was nothing more than being hungry and wanting meat, or when the Demon Emperor gave an order, he had to go and kill whomever, even if later he had to kill someone from his brother's faction like a vast and mighty wind, he just felt it was "business as usual."

Even during the years imprisoned by the Endless Night in dreams, he felt it was a form of "hospitality."

He had never felt such strong hatred that made him want to destroy anything.

But now, with someone important to him, someone he wanted to protect, hate and love seemed to appear simultaneously, and the little monster seemed to grow up in an instant.

The more he loved his brother, the more he hated these monsters that had hurt him.

If he couldn't find a way to express his affection, then he would destroy everything that threatened his brother!

The Demon King Hunter Zhou Shou, at this moment, unleashed an astonishing aura.

Those night demons that were stirring, approaching Zhou Baiyu to seek vengeance for the Endless Night and to take the "divine treasures," suddenly felt a deep-rooted fear.

Once the little monster shouldered his brother and had a target, his eyes brimmed with light.

That manic laughter once again penetrated the night.

He had also noticed the Crystal Stone lying where the Endless Night corpse was. It seemed to contain unimaginable power.

After picking up the Crystal Stone, Zhou Shou immediately stuffed it onto Zhou Baiyu's body.

Subsequently, a bloody and brutal massacre began.

As the monster laughed wildly, patches of the night began to dissipate.

The killing excited the monster beyond measure, and the night demons could not have imagined they would be crushed and slaughtered by a man who had been imprisoned in a dream for years!

What kind of monster had the Endless Night's dream actually imprisoned?

As more and more night demons died, pieces of the night were driven away, and more and more people began to wake up.

Those who awakened saw that berserk figure continuously fighting amidst the ruins of Hechuan City, and they were all somewhat stunned.

Not long after Zhou Shou woke up, people from the Land of No Light began to wake up one after another.

When they woke up, the night demons that had drawn close were already slaughtered by Zhou Shou, strewn about chaotically.

The sparse remnants of the night could no longer hinder the spread of light.

As people looked at such a bright world, even the desolate ruins of the city seemed an unparalleled magnificent scene.

So this was what a world with light looked like.

And at the same time, more and more people also kept waking up.
