Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

In the face of pollution, these pioneers, even when drafted away from Linxiang City...

were essentially sent to their deaths.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying it would be in Advanced World, unable to lie or distinguish lies.

It must be said, the second round of defense mode had driven the pioneers to a dead end.

Like frogs in warm water, by the time they realized the temperature was lethal, it was already too late.

However, if the pioneers could survive this round, perhaps future defense modes won't be stricter than this one.

In a sense, this time "we" played a dirty trick.

Zhou Baiyu discarded his distractions and looked at Ryan:

"You were waiting for me."

"Of course, I'm not sure why you haven't been inspired by sincerity. But that's fine, I'm happy to share this world with you. We can rely on each other to fend off loneliness in such a world."

Ryan flashed a friendly smile.

At this moment, Zhou Baiyu rather looked like a villain about to assassinate the King; he remained unmoved:

"I have no interest in such a world. Your pollution has no effect on me, and today, will be your day of death."

Ryan remained unmoved, even stepping forward towards Zhou Baiyu on his own accord.

The moment Ryan's footsteps left the square's podium, all the people began to disperse.

Everyone was covering their ears, their movements irregular but executed with strong determination.

Zhou Baiyu could hardly imagine what kind of order Ryan had issued.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Ryan asked amiably.

Zhou Baiyu's answer was simple:

"Lies are immensely important abilities for humans; you've stripped away something crucial, their ability to survive."

Ryan said with a smile:

"You are angry for my people, aren't you? Because you think I've deprived them of an ability."

"That's great, I like heroes like you."

"But you must have realized I've given some instructions. So please don't kill me, otherwise... you might witness the most spectacular and largest mass funeral in history."

"Although killing me and extracting my Divine Imprint can rid this pollution."

"But believe me, by the time you do it... many people, you won't be able to save."

Despite guessing that Ryan was so composed because he had contingencies, hearing this still made Zhou Baiyu grit his teeth and glare at him.

He now understood, Ryan must have propagated some lie. If anything happened to him...

It's likely that these people, who revered Ryan as a god, would also face problems.

He actually wanted to kill Ryan directly, but clearly, doing so now would be costly.

Ryan said:

"I don't know your name, so I'll just call you Hero."

"Mr. Hero, do you think I'm despicable?"

Zhou Baiyu did not answer this question; he just stared coldly at Ryan, unmoved.

Ryan said:

"Of course, I'm guilty. These days, I've lived lavishly through lies, something I never experienced before."

"I've also spent harmonious and pleasant nights with ladies as divine as goddesses."

"I've earned a lot of respect, thanks to my lies. But who hasn't?"

"Winning everyone's respect through sincerity is what we call a fairy tale."

"Business requires integrity, but the market is full of trickery. Companies that truly practice integrity don't survive."

"I'm a villain, Mr. Hero, you might think so."

Ryan even walked up to Zhou Baiyu, helping to adjust his attire:

"Young and handsome, with eyes that convey penetrating power and curiosity. Mr. Hero, you are a man of noble character."

Zhou Baiyu certainly wasn't going to change his stance over a few compliments.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm trying to say, as a follower of the God of Sincerity and Virtue, these days I've averted many crises."

Ryan's expression grew solemn.

"Some lies are deadly, allowing them to spread could even swiftly eradicate these sincere kids."

"I have halted many such lies. My capability lets them remain oblivious to the existence of lies, but also instinctively ignore some lies."

Just as it is corrupted, no one in Linxiang City has risen above Zhang Haoyun.

Similar as a pollutant, Ryan's dispersal ability is several times other pollutants. Of course, this is also due to the fact that "sincerity" is needed by people.

It also relates to the defense mode. In a sense, Ryan, Zhang Haoyun, are level bosses.

Ryan's lie level is naturally the highest.

"But I haven't filtered out all the lies, Mr. Hero, I did this so you could see clearly—"

"The real villains are not me, but the greed rooted deep within people."

"And I, am their savior!"

Ryan casually pointed out:

"See that lady over there with 'Exclusive Slave' etched on her face?"

"Her beautiful face, now bears a slave's tattoo."

"See the child next to her with a scratched face? His parents are both around, but in his reality... his father became an abuser of his own age."

"Countless people have gathered here, all deceived by those outside, some saw their families destroyed, some ruined themselves, some bankrupted, and others... turned into fools!"
