Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu understood what Midel meant, and exclaimed in surprise:

"You're saying... even a Demon Emperor wouldn't be this colossal? Could it be... the thing beneath our feet surpasses the Demon Emperor level?"

Midel nodded, his expression grave as he spoke:

"Yes, the thunderclouds enveloping the island... If it bombards the island recklessly, the destruction caused should certainly not be underestimated. The Devouring Demon's strength lies in its power, in its terrifying physique, but to wield elemental forces of this magnitude, not even a Demon Emperor might be capable."

"I hope this is truly just an island. If it is a certain creature, if it is the Devouring Demon, then this island would be much more fearsome than a Demon Emperor. It's just... too vast."

The strength of other demonic races is difficult to assess, but the way to evaluate a Devouring Demon is simple: the larger, the stronger.

In Zhou Baiyu's view, if the island beneath their feet is a living being, then it truly could achieve what is described in these eight characters—

Move mountains and seas, overturn heaven and earth.

This was an epic force belonging to legends that he had never felt before.

Now that the entire island is shaking, does it mean... that this massive thing, possibly more terrifying than a Devouring Demon Emperor, is awakening?

This colossal creature, an ultimate existence many times larger than the Devouring Demon Emperor, could it be related to that playful god?

Zhou Baiyu suddenly thought... if his group was truly on the back of a gigantic Devouring Demon, if Haiwang was actually a Devouring Demon, and if all this was related to the playful god again—

Then perhaps this time, through an extradimensional transformation by the playful god, they might explore the relationship between the demonic races and the gods.

Up to this point, Zhou Baiyu had learned that the war of the gods was a battle against corruption and the old gods.

But both corruption and pollution... are essentially human in nature. What about the demons?

What role did they play in that war? These thoughts made Zhou Baiyu grow impatient.

"We need to move faster, Uxin, lead the way!"

"Alright!"

...

...

At this moment on the island, not just Zhou Baiyu, but corrupt beings, demons, the polluted, pioneers, and purifiers alike were engaged in combat or advance, sensing the tremendous change above.

Karlando frowned slightly:

"It's the people below. Those guys from the Pantheon's Apocalypse Squad..."

As one of the highest authorities in the Pantheon, Karlando quickly realized that the polluted were contaminating the island.

Everyone in the vicinity of the island would be beset by misfortune.

However, he didn't care and continued on his way with his gaming domain unfolded.

"Such a rate of pollution is too rapid; it looks like they've entered radiation mode. They're really going all out."

Karlando suddenly decided to see which of his subordinates was working so hard.

So he abruptly changed direction.

But this move didn't prevent Karlando from encountering a large group of pioneers because he quickly noticed that the red dots on the mini-map were also converging towards one place.

This man with the system could very well enjoy a good show, with the final act being a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

...

...

"If we don't hurry up, the convergence of fate will affect each of our lifespans. I'm afraid the thunder that falls might strike us on the head."

The speaker was a Gatherer from the peerless team. As they continued to move, more and more pioneers gathered around them, attracted by the reputation of the peerless.

"Causing a great celestial phenomenon isn't something low-level corrupt beings or demons can achieve, and our Gatherers here have said the gathering of thunderclouds might be related to the forces of fate..."

"Perhaps there is an unimaginably powerful existence on this island. The force of fate has caused fluctuations in its emotions, enough to take its anger out on us."

Gatherers, Watchers, these analytical types quickly came to a conclusion not much different from Zhou Baiyu's team.

They just hadn't guessed the presence of the Devouring Demon like Midel had.

Under the analysis of many Gatherers, they obtained more precise information than Uxin alone—

Heavenly Tribulation Fate.

Once a Heavenly Tribulation Fate forms, it requires the "deaths" of many to resolve.

The Gatherers faintly guessed that the moment this colossal being's wrath descends would likely be when the Tribulation arrives.

Many Gatherers also deduced the final deadline.

If they didn't quickly stop the source creating the ominous fate, then when the tribulation strikes, it's feared many might die from tsunamis and thunderbolts.

...

...

Radiation mode is an ability of the high-ranking polluted.

Compared to the strange tales from the real world's Linxiang City, a polluted that can initiate radiation mode causes pollution to spread at an extremely terrifying pace once the mode is activated.

Its spread rate could even surpass that of special polluted under defense mode.

And Palus, the fallen worshiper of the gods of decline and misfortune, was one of those who could activate radiation mode.

Radiation mode takes a tremendous toll on his stamina, and even has side effects that affect lifespan.

But Palus didn't care; as a fallen worshiper of the gods of decline and misfortune, there was a reason for it.

There are people in this world who are content if everyone lives poorly; if they, too, live poorly, they see it as normal and think the world should be that way.

If you live poorly, they might even feel a bit of joy, finding a sense of petty superiority.

But if you live well, it's more unbearable for them than death.

Palus, a high-ranking member of the Pantheon's Apocalypse Squad, was just such a person. His jealousy was intense, and he was overjoyed the moment he was chosen by the new gods. Spreading misfortune was essentially his life's goal.
