Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu was shocked in two ways when he saw this volume.

The first was regarding walkers.

He was extremely sensitive to any word that included "walker" such as Dark Walker, different walker, and Overlord.

Because Sister Lin had once said, it was a second branch of a profession.

And Zhou Baiyu had never imagined...

That the second path for the inheritors of the God of All Things and Vitality originated from a corrupted and fallen kind?

Saint Barn, who was originally supposed to be at least a fourth- or even a fifth-tier Super Pioneer, one of the strongest inheritors of the God of All Things and Vitality.

But this inheritor, in pursuit of a stronger rapport and power with his beasts... got infected with corruption.

And indeed, he succeeded.

This was the second shock for Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu still remembered that in Linxiang City there initially were corruptions of "Cute Pets and Beast Love God".

They overly adored pets, to the extent that... the children in their bellies would turn into cute pets.

So, the source of these corruptions, the new god — the Cute Pets and Beast Love God, was actually the former Saint Barn?

It seems that after the night of the Divine Endowment, Barn truly became a new god.

In the subsequent content, Zhou Baiyu saw the difference between Beastwalkers and other Beast Tamers.

"Barn left, and the God of All Things and Vitality, whom should have eradicated Barn, did not do so; he... was ultimately too kind.

Barn's distorted love for his beasts, in the eyes of the God of All Things and Vitality, was also seen as pitiable.

But it's worth mentioning that Barn might degrade due to corruption and become unrecognizable, yet his 'insolence,' his way of the beast, was adopted by the God of All Things and Vitality.

When the inheritors step into the second tier, a very few at the first stage who feel affection for their beasts can have an additional choice.

Either to become a second-tier existence, a Beast Tamer, or to become a new existence, a Beastwalker.

A Beast Tamer can summon a broader range of beasts, whereas a Beastwalker can only choose a very few beasts, but... a Beastwalker can merge with the beast."

"This also inspired us later; the God of All Things and Vitality thinks... perhaps we really should study corruption intensively, to pave a second path for the inheritors after that great calamity arrives."

"This path, known as the Way of the Walkers. That is, combining the power of the nine gods with the power of corruption to forge a new path."

"This path might not necessarily be stronger than the original path of inheritance, but it could bring about entirely new possibilities."

"This path places more importance on the true heart of the inheritors."

Although Zhou Baiyu had thought before coming to the Library of the Gods that he might find some answers to his inner doubts,

finding a few books that genuinely helped with his troubling questions amid such vast and smoke-like collections still felt very fortunate.

"So this is the origin of the walkers. There was a great battle between the old gods and the new gods, but before this battle commenced... some inheritors proactively took the path of infection with corruption, paving new ways for later inheritors."

"The Beastwalker route was opened together by the Beast Love God and the God of All Things and Vitality."

"Then what about the Overlord, the Dark Walker?"

"And, what about the different walker?"

If the God of Difference and Chaos also forged a new path of inheritance with some new god...

Which new god would that be?

Unfortunately, although Zhou Baiyu looked through many more books afterward, he couldn't find the answer.

Tens of thousands of volumes in both science and history.

"It seems I do have some fate with this, but not much. I should get down to business now."

Zhou Baiyu picked up this book on the study of corruption and decisively began the metamorphosis.

Everything was as he had anticipated.

The first time he metamorphosed, the book could emit sounds.

The second time, the book developed a life of its own.

This life, in terms of personality, was that of a social butterfly type; it started boasting to Zhou Baiyu right after awakening.

"Brother, you're impressive! Last time someone awakened me, it was just a small matter. You're pretty good; I see a bright future for you. What's your name?"

"Jiang Xianwu."

"Boss Xianwu, eh? Who in the underworld doesn't know of the great Boss Xianwu—"

Snap.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Baiyu violently snapped the book shut.

"Sorry, I still need to continue the metamorphosis."

"Damn it! I can't breathe!" the study of corruption screamed, suffocating.

Luckily, a few seconds later, Zhou Baiyu's metamorphosis ended.

[Item name: Plump Little Defeat.]

[Specialty: Really fat, unlimited durability.]

[Description: As a book, of course, the fatter, the more volume it has. It has many more blank pages on it.]

[Status: Transformable.]

Little Fail?

It also matches his own style of naming. Corrosion Research Studies, calling someone Little Corrode doesn't sound quite right, so Little Fail is more appropriate.

Little Fail looked at his swollen body:

"Damn, how did I become like this? What the hell! I need to lose weight!"

The blank pages of the book manifested Little Fail's thoughts.

But Zhou Baiyu didn't give Little Fail a chance.

He continued to transform.

With a snap, he closed Little Fail again.

"Damn! Can't you let me know first!"

The transformation process was slow.

Yes, the usual transformations took only a few seconds to complete, but this time, Zhou Baiyu suddenly found... there was a force pressing on his hands.

His physical strength was being continuously sucked into the book.

Due to the presence of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom in the library, physical strength drained very slowly here, even the recovery rate was greater than the rate of consumption.

In the library, one could basically maintain abundant physical energy and high spirits forever.

But transformation drastically depleted physical strength, even in the library, Zhou Baiyu felt his energy rapidly draining away.

"What is this miraculous sight? Oh my God!"

Zhou Baiyu's attention was all on the book, curious as to why this transformation was taking so long, his hands unable to pull away.

His physical energy continued to be drained, and soon, bloodshot eyes appeared.

But it was also at this time, Huang Miu witnessed an odd scene, and he cried out in alarm.

Even the other two books displayed the words "It's amazing" on their pages.

Golden light filled the entire library.

Countless words as if alive, began crawling out of the original books.

Even A Lick and Little Origin's books were the same.

"Wait, that's mine! Those are mine!"

A Lick widened his eyes and Little Origin was furiously powerless.

All the words floated out from various books, emitting a golden glow.

But not all books were involved, nor did distance matter, it seemed like certain words were being extracted from some books.

All these words gathered towards the book in Zhou Baiyu's hands.

Zhou Baiyu also witnessed this astonishing sight:

"So that's it... The gift left by the God of Play is this... He extracted these words to form information."

"Only by going through multiple transformations could his methods be activated."

"But the problem is... I can't hold on much longer."

Zhou Baiyu's eye sockets had begun to sink and his skin had also become rough.

Soon, some spots appeared on his forehead.

The massive consumption of physical strength made him look as if he had been overtransfused with blood, severely stayed up, and continuously drained by a succubus.

Now Zhou Baiyu was just one word—drained.

But he still persisted, having known the truth, he no longer thought of ending the transformation, but before his vitality reached the critical point... He tried to make the long transformation as complete as possible.

He did not know how much time had passed, Zhou Baiyu's consciousness had become blurred, but his hands still hadn't let go of the book.

In a daze, he heard the words of that god:

"We shall eventually become rules, the fall of the King of the Gods marks the start of the era of corruption. Sometimes I wonder, if we all became rules, perhaps we could extend the lifespan of this world."

"This idea had been agreed upon by several other gods, but I know—the outlook is not optimistic."

"And as for myself, people often say, a two-hundred-pound person, even one extra pound is rebellious."

"I do not dislike this saying, I love chaos, but I don't dislike order, what I despise is... the order proclaimed by those I loathe."

"Accept my gift then. Besides some key knowledge from the Source Realm that I've sorted out, there's also my last maneuver."

"Inheritor, are you ready for a transformation that breaks the deadlock?"

Zhou Baiyu passed out, and his hands finally let go of the book.

At the same time, the flamboyantly social Corrosion Research Studies also fainted.

Huang Miu, seeing Zhou Baiyu change from a fit, handsome man into a skinny one, quickly rushed to check Zhou Baiyu's breathing.

"That was close... He's still alive."

Not only was he alive, but his vitality was also being continuously restored under the influence of the library.

Huang Miu had a feeling, perhaps Jiang Xianwu had found the treasure of the library.
