Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

There wasn't any sensation of fists colliding.

Luo Yaduo couldn't even feel the slightest touch, but then a bizarre scene unfolded.

The dull aura, like a starving tiger, scraped Ke Zhongye's flesh clean with its spiraling flow, yet the next moment it seemed as if a layer of dull armor had coated him.

On the pale bones, a mysterious "shell" had formed that Luo Yaduo could not comprehend.

This was the Power of Destruction.

It was a power that even the God of Strength and Muscle, throughout his entire life, even unto the moment of the Gods' War when he was slain by the rules, had never understood!

There was no sensation of touch, but at the very moment of contact, Luo Yaduo's spiral-muscled arm was utterly destroyed.

This was absolute destruction.

It was the "force" that longed for a culmination.

For Ke Zhongye, a third-order agent of the heavens, utilizing the Power of Destruction was actually very difficult.

It greatly compromised other functions of his body.

Like speed, defense.

He had thought his opponent wouldn't be foolish enough to confront him head-on with arrogance.

Then, he realized, he wasn't fighting alone.

So this victory, was all but certain.

The mighty Power of Destruction, like a god of destruction in some innate talent sequence, heedless of reason, whether Luo Yaduo's muscles were grotesquely exaggerated or his strength was brutish, or even if what lay before it was time or space...

Everything was destroyed.

Ke Zhongye couldn't do the latter, but at the very least, he could destroy Luo Yaduo.

There were no powerful collisions of fists, no bursts of wind from the exerted force...

All of this, was much simpler than anyone could have imagined.

Only within Luo Yaduo's heart, a tempest was brewing.

"Could it be... that the events from the Annals of the Pantheon are about to play out on me?"

That was his last thought.

He had believed that this man from Longxia was likely the one he was fated to destroy...

The ideological conflict between the new gods and the old gods might find a new answer at his hands.

Especially when he saw Ke Zhongye, the fighting spirit that surged within him made him feel like it was a battle ordained by the heavens.

But in the last moment, Luo Yaduo realized, he was not the one.

The man before him could go further than himself.

Perhaps, this man would indeed face his archenemy in the future, but clearly... it wouldn't be himself.

The battle ended.

The clash between Luo Yaduo, a top devil-class powerhouse of the Pantheon's Divine Punishment group, and Ke Zhongye, President of the Jingqi Association's Valiant Storm Guild... came to a full stop.

The victor, Heaven-cutting Agent, Ke Zhongye.

Upon seeing this, the Prophet's frantic and terrified expression slowly began to ease.

On the other hand, Guan Canghai let out a long sigh, his expression much less composed than before.

This battle owed much to Guan Canghai's efforts.

While Luo Yaduo was bombarding Ke Zhongye, Guan Canghai, relying on his abilities as a Life Seed Master, planted two fates within Luo Yaduo.

But whether the power of destiny could change a person's fate still depended on the magnitude of the individual's own destiny.

If Luo Yaduo's fate was indeed much tougher than Ke Zhongye's, then Guan Canghai knew that all his efforts would be in vain.

The fate, a valiant yet near success.

The fate, an arrogant shall fail.

Compared to the eye-catching, magnificent confrontations between warriors, the support of a helper seemed plain and unadorned, even somewhat concealed.

But Ke Zhongye knew very well that someone like Luo Yaduo, his reckless choice to "directly destroy" himself, must have been due to some aspect of his competitive spirit being amplified.

And all of this, was undoubtedly Guan Canghai's doing.

President of the Jingqi Association, Guan Canghai, was the most unobtrusive of all the legendary pioneers.

It is said that to be admitted to the Jingqi Association, one must engage in private conversations with Guan Canghai, to assess their "acting" abilities.

Yes, acting, not just "intelligence."

To put it simply, while the members of Valiant Storm are vulgar warriors, the members of the Jingqi Association are all despicable actors.

Guan Canghai said:

"If you want to be one of mine, deceive your own fate with your performance."

The so-called performance is the art of immersion.

When you have a fate of desperate resolve, you must instantly immerse yourself in moments of dire straits.

Deceiving even yourself, like those who are adept at acting, who know it's just a play, but still fall deeply into some oppression after the performance, with some even paying with their lives.

Such acting, Guan Canghai believed, was a talent, something that the people of the lineage of the God of Cause and Effect and Destiny should pursue.

For instance, if you create a fate of desperate resolve, but you are currently in an advantageous situation, then your fate will have no effect.

But you can act.

Your audience is yourself, you need to place yourself within the destiny you are enacting, then no matter what fate you create...

You can wield the power of fate.

The Jingqi Association is mysterious, and so is Guan Canghai, but at least, Ke Zhongye understood one thing, this person had many tricks up his sleeve...

No one really knew what kind of person Guan Canghai was, what he was like in real life.

But one thing's for certain, none of those who became legendary pioneers were simple characters.

However, Ke Zhongye did not care about so much, if you helped me, you are my friend.

"Thank you."

"It's your own fate that's great, I just provided a little assistance."

The two exchanged smiles and said no more thanks.

Then, feeling the growl of thunderclouds, they exchanged no pleasantries.
