Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

But if it's just a short-term conscription, mutating only a few times a day at most... without considering Absolute Moment, he still had a long way to go compared to the legendary pioneers.

Soon, the group began discussing the strange tales that had recently surfaced in Linxiang City.

Zhou Baiyu thought to himself that since he had returned, he ought to find a way to resolve some issues.

Thus, he learned from the others about the situation involving the "God of Plagiarism and Duplication."

"So you're saying that up to now, new sources of pollution keep appearing, and through your efforts, you're constantly containing them,"

"But during this process, it seems that the followers of the God of Plagiarism and Duplication always manage to be one step ahead."

"It can replicate the abilities of other pollution sources."

"So, to a large extent, the smog and miasma currently in Linxiang City are all due to this God of Plagiarism and Duplication?"

Dream Awakener nodded and took up Zhou Baiyu's words:

"You had a friend before, named Li Ping, your former colleague, remember her?"

"I remember, how is she? Is she still well?"

"She's dead."

Zhou Baiyu's fingers tightened around his glass.

"Vomiting Worm Syndrome?"

Guang Tongchen felt the murderous intent in Zhou Baiyu's eyes:

"Yes, it's Zhang Haoyun's corruption ability, but we're certain that it wasn't Zhang Haoyun who did it."

"So there's only one answer, it was caused by a fallen believer of the God of Plagiarism and Duplication."

Zhou Baiyu took a deep breath.

He remembered this colleague, who worked at the desk next to him when he was a suicide crisis interventionist.

He actually had a good impression of her.

Every time he hung up the phone, she would compliment him. This included the day he resigned, before becoming a pioneer, after he had hung up the phone with a snow demon and saved her...

Li Ping was curious about how he'd managed it, how he could save someone so efficiently.

Zhou Baiyu slowly clenched his fists.

In the Advanced World, he had become a pioneer and saved many people.

In the real world, he had saved just as many people as well.

But now, his own colleague had been killed by a source of pollution.

To say that he and Li Ping were close wasn't accurate.

He always considered Li Ping just an ordinary friend. Yet, it was precisely because of this that when he learned that Li Ping's dying wish was to see him... Zhou Baiyu suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

Dream Awakener spoke:

"That girl's corpse... by the time I got there, it had been gnawed beyond recognition by worms."

"She only left a message on her phone—'Brother Zhou, I don't want to die, I saved so many people...'"

Guang Tongchen let out a light sigh.

Constantin said:

"Currently, that guy, the God of Plagiarism and Duplication, has mastered the contaminating powers of the new god of adorable pets and beastly love, which can make people around them develop grotesque feelings of affection for pets, and even... become in heat."

"The God of Phallus and Reproduction can change the size of certain parts just by blinking, causing mutations."

"Control of insects, ability from the corrupt breed Zhang Haoyun. We should be grateful that this guy only learned the surface of Zhang Haoyun's abilities."

"There's also the God of Produce and Harvest, a relatively recent source of pollution. This god's power is like planting beans to get beans..."

"Under its divine power, everything becomes capable of vigorous growth and reproduction like plants. Even a single strand of hair dangling to the ground could grow into a head in reverse."

"When Nina and I went to the pollution source site... I'll never forget that scene in my life. People buried in the ground all started growing madly."

"Some were trying to resurrect their prematurely lost children, others trying to bring back their deceased parents or loved ones... they were all planting the hair and skin of the dead into the contaminated soil without counting the cost."

"Even living people did it, maniacs planted their desired goddess's hair in the soil, hoping to grow a goddess... damn it, even Satan would comment 'that's a tough job' upon seeing that scene."

"Then, not long after, just by watering and irrigating, you could make those who died grow out of the ground..."

"But what grew out was all misshapen, with some people even fused together..."

"A baby's body grew on the thigh of a middle-aged woman whose mother had died... a girlfriend who died in a car accident grew on the back of a deceased pet."

"After we eliminated the pollution source, these things that grew from the ground slowly withered."

"But this power seems to have also been replicated. One day we saw a mouse head growing on a cat's tail."

"We haven't traced the source, but the principle of planting something to get something, coupled with the possibility of some kind of mutated hybrid growing... these characteristics all indicate that the God of Plagiarism and Duplication has got this power."

"Additionally, there was another source of pollution, the God of Hypnosis and Enchantment... this incident was covered up, you can't find any information about it online."

"Scenarios I dared not even imagine when watching adult films directly unfolded in reality, enchanting an entire school's teachers and students... I won't say what they were brainwashed into, but I must tell you, the 'Hypnosis Academy' and similar X-rated animations I've watched pale in comparison to reality."

"The only thing worth celebrating is... after we removed the pollution source, all the victims forgot what happened."

"Zhou, there are several more new gods whose pollution sources we've also eliminated, but we always feel that they have been replicated by that guy in the end."

"It seems to have a special ability to catch the scent of others one step ahead of us."
