Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Inheritors of the God of Cause and Effect and Destiny, with the Qi Observation Skill at their disposal, could see the thread of a person's destiny.

And based on the numerous arrangements of these threads, many Fate Walkers had deduced a great variety of patterns of fate.

This was what made this profession so terrifying.

They were not devotees of the Time and Space God, yet they could often see even further into the future, predicting the direction of some major event.

Of course, very few inheritors ever reached the third or fourth rank.

This profession, like the Mutators, was not known for high combat ability.

Wu Xin was considered one of the outstanding Fate Walkers, and right now, he really wanted to concoct the rare fate pattern "Turn Calamity into Blessing" and give it to Zhou Baiyu.

But he couldn't manage it at all.

Zhou Baiyu only noticed that Wu Xin's complexion looked somewhat poor, but he had many matters to discuss at the moment and thus had no time to concern himself with anything else.

After slowly explaining the rules, he said,

"So the more people we have, the greater our advantage actually is. Given the current situation, Midel's team, our team, and the guild leader's team, we've all completed our respective tasks at this stage."

"What we need to do next is to slowly explore this island. If we encounter enemies along the way, we'll deal with them. If we come across an Advanced World dweller, and we can lend a hand, then we'll help out."

Speaking to Guang Tongchen, he said,

"Why is this conscription so special, with corrupted ones and demonkind all entering this time?"

This was not just Guang Tongchen's curiosity, even Midel was curious.

But Zhou Baiyu knew very well that perhaps even the middlemen with the same status as Sister Lin had no idea about this conscription.

Given various considerations, Zhou Baiyu dared not state it outright.

In case a lot of Advanced World dwellers died in this great chaos, he could not bear that kind of infamy.

He couldn't control the super-dimensional mutations, but people would surely still blame him.

Right at this moment, already numerous Advanced World dwellers were dying.

So Zhou Baiyu changed his statement:

"The cause is unclear, but I think this is an opportunity for the Advanced World dwellers and other powers to reshuffle."

"Just now, I killed two demon-kind of the Demon Emperor level in a row. With my abilities, if I didn't enter some special state, I couldn't possibly survive, much less kill the opponent."

"Special rules have put demonkind, the corrupted ones, and the tainted ones on the same starting line as us... no, thanks to the Advanced World dwellers' sensitivity to various rules, we are even at an advantage."

"As long as we make good use of the rules, doesn't matter if it's a Demon Lord or Demon Emperor, I will kill them all."

"So this opportunity is a chance for Advanced World dwellers to challenge higher ranks and reshuffle the power dynamics of all the major factions."

Realization dawned on Guang Tongchen, and even Midel became aware...

If the significance of combat power to the outcome diminished, while the significance of the rules increased...

Then humans could possibly become the most fearsome existence on this island.

Remembering the scene where the Snow Demon killed two succubi with a touch, Midel was convinced that Jiang Xianwu was right.

"This island may house one of the seven Demon Emperors. If the Advanced World dwellers were to take advantage of the rules and kill it..."

"Then in the future, the entire Advanced World, in version 2.49... the situation would undergo a huge change. The benefits that humanity could gain from this great chaos might surpass any in the past."

Zhou Baiyu actually had one more thing he hadn't said. With the clues brought by Midel regarding the Seamer...

He believed, if the Demon Emperor really died, then as one declined, another grew. The threat the Seamer posed to version 2.49 would be even greater.

Of course, if the Demon Emperor were to die, then once Midel safely returned, she could provide more false information to Reina.

After comprehensive consideration, this was a win-win situation.

However, the one benefiting from this win-win was the Seamer. And at the same time... there would undoubtedly be tragic sacrifices among the Advanced World dwellers.

"Now let me confirm this: I am 'Rock', Zhen Shi is 'Scissors', Haoyun is 'Paper'."

"Midel is also 'Paper'. The Snow Demon is 'Paper'. The guild leader is 'Rock', Wu Xin is 'Rock'."

"So Midel and I must not come into contact, and while Midel and Haoyun can make contact, for safety's sake, since we aren't in the same team, it's best not to touch each other."

All the females in the team were 'Paper', which naturally was a coincidence.

Except for Zhen Shi, the rest of the three men were all 'Rock', also a coincidence.

Having only one 'Scissors' in the form of Zhen Shi made Zhou Baiyu ponder how to make the best use of him going forward.

"We need a decoy. Zhen Shi, you are the most suitable one for that."

"Ah... Brother Xianwu, what do I need to do?"

Zhen Shi, while obedient to Zhou Baiyu's plan, still wanted to know the details to better execute it.

"The key to this game lies in knowing the bottom line."

"It's like playing Stratego; everyone arranges their troops, not knowing what the opponent's pieces are. Some place their Marshal and General in the front, while others place mines there."

"This is a simplified version of Stratego, so we need an exposed piece to lure the opponent."

"In our team, the strongest fighters are Haoyun's 'Paper' and the guild leader's 'Rock.' Only the guild leader and Haoyun have the true killing ability."

"The guild leader can deal with 'Scissors', and Haoyun can deal with 'Rock'."

"If the opponent is 'Scissors' or 'Rock', then either the guild leader or Haoyun can easily kill them."

"So we need to draw out 'Scissors' and 'Rock'."

"Who will 'Scissors' and 'Rock' attack? 'Scissors' will attack 'Scissors,' and 'Scissors' will attack 'Paper.' 'Rock' will attack 'Rock,' and 'Rock' will attack 'Scissors'."

"Only 'Paper' will not attack 'Scissors.'"
