Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

He swung his great sword, not at Zhou Baiyu's head, but at Zhou Baiyu's shoulder!

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted!

The great sword slipped out of Number One's hand, the tremendous force causing the sword to spin multiple times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground!

The sound of the boom was not from Zhou Baiyu being swept away, but from the great sword hitting the ground.

Hei originally thought he would see Zhou Baiyu's body being flung and heavily colliding with the wall...

But what he didn't expect was—

When Number One built up his power to smash Zhou Baiyu, Zhou Baiyu actually struck back!

That instant's scene was clearest only to Number One, who wanted to see Zhou Baiyu's helpless, frightened, and desperate expression...

But Zhou Baiyu didn't show that.

As Number One charged at Hei, Zhou Baiyu seemed to have anticipated that Number One might launch an attack midway.

It was simple.

In the system of the God of Games and Entertainment, Zhou Baiyu saw a skull on the small map.

That was the symbol of an archenemy, like Karlando, who wanted to put him to death.

And a very crucial data point—morality value, 0.

Seamer had seven points, but Number One's morality value was 0.

It indicated a lack of any human decency, a complete aberration and monster who derived pleasure only by bullying others.

Such a person? Could he possibly save himself?

The more justified he appeared, the more it signaled that there would be a twist in the tale.

So, the moment Number One started his charge, Zhou Baiyu was waiting for an opportunity.

When Number One turned his face towards Zhou Baiyu, Zhou Baiyu did not display despair, helplessness, or terror.

He merely scoffed disdainfully.

This scoff echoed in the shattered maze; shortly after the sound was made, it was drowned out by the crashing sword.

But the scoff was heard by several people.

A flash of scarlet light.

Reverse Corruption state maxed out, Zhou Baiyu burst forth with all his power, cutting swiftly at top speed!

The moment the red light faded, Number One's wrist was cleanly severed from the wrist bone.

Number One's expression stalled.

Zhou Baiyu displayed a devilish smirk. Or rather, he revealed a gentlemanly smile much like the one Number One had.

The next moment, Hei and Huang exerted their force together, in the bewildering moment following Number One's severed wrist, two figures, one black one yellow, struck like thunder against Number One.

Reverser Number One was hit by the two great forces, directly slamming into the edge of the Mirror Maze.

The figure smashed brutally against the wall, the entire body embedded into the wall, half his head sticking out, that half of his face staring at Zhou Baiyu.

Zhou Baiyu's smile made him realize what had happened.

This was the first time, a stranger had not been fooled by his act but instead, he had been tricked by a stranger.

Zhou Baiyu had originally thought there would be resentment or similar emotions in Number One's eyes...

But there were none, instead, tears welled up in Number One's eyes.

Yes, tears.

Even though Hei and Huang had slammed his body into the wall, the two Law Enforcers seeming to have subdued Number One, he felt neither fear, anxiety, nor anger.

He cried.

Tears streamed down in extreme joy.

Zhou Baiyu was taken aback.

In his life, he had encountered many perverts, Seamer, Wan Zi, Zhou Shou, even Zhen Shi.

Their emotions were not normal, all slightly off.

But overall, their emotional deviations were not extreme...

However, facing Number One, Zhou Baiyu suddenly realized, compared to Number One, all of them were perfectly normal.

There were tears in Number One's eyes, his head already being held down by only one of Huang's hands, but Zhou Baiyu could still see Number One's mouth curving upwards.

He was crying and smiling.

"Truly moving! What a beautiful expression! So elegant! In the face of despair, not showing an ugly face, but revealing such an elegant smile!"

"I love you! I absolutely adore you!"

Honestly, those words startled Zhou Baiyu, but more terrifying things were to come.

Following that, Number One's already severed wrist suddenly regrew flesh.

A new hand appeared, elegantly flicking Huang.

Huang's body was instantly blown away by the tremendous force.

"You better hurry back and cower in the void, I have a new toy now!"

The moment Zhou Baiyu heard Number One's voice, he had already appeared behind him.

This speed was so fast that no one present could see clearly.

Both Black and Yellow were startled.

Black thought that Number One had already demonstrated his real capabilities while dealing with Qing Chi.

But now Black realized—Number One had been "playing" all along.

Zhou Baiyu felt a chill go down his spine.

Because Number One's index finger was pressing against his temple, ready to burst his skull with a flick...

The other hand was pressing on his shoulder.

That wasn't the reason for his chill, though. The chilling part was—

Number One's breath hit the back of Zhou Baiyu's neck; he breathed heavily:

"Please keep that elegant smile of yours! It's my favorite! While I feast on your flesh, you surely can maintain your composure, right?"

"Don't disappoint me, please do not let me down! I beg you!"

Tormenting his prey and seeing the despair on their faces was the only joy for Number One.

But hunting for a long duration always decreased the threshold.

For Number One, doing one thing for too long developed into peculiar tastes.

Hunting—seeing hope in the prey—enjoying despair—next hunt.

This cycle, prolonged over time, initially brought joy from the despair of the prey, but because the joy of despair was too fleeting, Number One craved prolonging the phase of hope in his prey.

So when Zhou Baiyu faced his own counterattack, not only did he not show any sign of despair, but he even returned a smile like his own, which gave Number One an ecstatic rush!

Hormones surged throughout his body!

So thrilling! Such thrilling prey! Far more interesting than Number Three, who feared after being tortured a few times, and Number Two, who talked tough but was fearful!

Feeling like he had discovered a new toy, Number One couldn't wait to torment Zhou Baiyu.

He even wanted to kneel and bow to Zhou Baiyu, pleading for him to keep that smile on his face!

Number One now felt that Zhou Baiyu radiated charm from every part of his body.

The noble aura of the God of Difference and Chaos was also having an effect at this moment.

Number One stuck out his tongue and licked Zhou Baiyu's cheek.

This was the real reason Zhou Baiyu was chilled to the bone.

He was so close to bursting out in anger.

But doing so could lead Number One to quickly lose interest in him, likely killing him on the spot.

Having his temple pressed was not a good thing.

Just as Zhou Baiyu was puzzled about how to escape, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky!

Number One reacted incredibly fast.

As the thunder struck, Number One's first reaction was not to avoid it, but to push Zhou Baiyu away.

He did not want such an interesting prey to simply die in front of him.

The terrifying lightning struck Number One, whitening his eyes.

It seemed as if the electrical attack had knocked him unconscious.

Yet the next second, a glint returned to Number One's eyes.

"Celestial phenomena? How interesting, is the sky trying to kill me too?"

Intuition told Number One that the lightning couldn't have coincidentally struck him.

And he had already figured out the powers of Black, Chi, and Qing.

Therefore, Number One speculated that the lightning that caused him slight harm must have come from—Yellow.

Zhou Baiyu also came to this conclusion.

"Yellow's ability, could it be to manipulate the weather? But it doesn't feel like it."

Although the strength of the Law Enforcers was certainly not on par with that of the prototypes.

Yet Huang Miu didn't seem like someone who could control celestial phenomena.

Or rather, if Huang Miu was truly the foremost among the Seven Children of the Holy Sanctuary, then having the ability to control celestial phenomena might seem a bit… unimpressive.

Bai Ye had much more prestige.

At that moment, Yellow suddenly spoke, and an idea flashed through Zhou Baiyu's mind:

"It's not about controlling the celestial phenomena, but about manipulating destiny. Though my master can't create an existence like Huang Miu, I'm just a castrated version; what I can control is celestial phenomena."

Manipulating destiny?

These four words completely stunned Zhou Baiyu, Huang Miu? Manipulating destiny?

There wasn't time to ponder this issue further as bigger troubles loomed.

Zhou Baiyu's gaze focused on Number One.
