Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Gazing at the massive palace not too far away, Zhou Baiyu knew that he had completed a series of preliminary challenges.

In the huge palace, the number of contaminants was extremely rare.

Only now, after stepping out of the illusions brought by the Divine Pillar, did Zhou Baiyu finally have the chance to check the small radar.

Through the power of the God of Games and Entertainment, he discovered that there were only about twenty to thirty contaminants in the Central Temple.

Each was very powerful.

The three most powerful ones were at the very back of the Central Temple.

By knowing the enemy's layout in advance, Zhou Baiyu deduced that these three at the back were likely the dominators of the Pantheon.

"I can sense the opponent, and they probably have ways to know about me too, given my high-profile entrance..."

"Those three must be waiting for me by now, and likely, my path will be unobstructed. But the trouble is finding the source of the contamination that's causing the loop in such a huge palace..."

"Furthermore, I need a door."

In the final stage, Zhou Baiyu began to plan his combat strategy.

Firstly, his core item was the Key of Uncertainty.

This key, upon opening a certain box, would yield something unpredictable.

If what he opened was a door, then passing through it would take him to an unknown place.

And thus, he could achieve spatial transfer, completing a distant escape.

This was the confidence that emboldened Zhou Baiyu to plunge into danger.

Essentially, the battle plan revolved primarily around using the Key of Uncertainty to open a door.

Once he could destroy the source of contamination, he would immediately use corruption to strengthen himself and use Mel's item to enhance himself a second time.

Then, using Mel's item to disrupt sound waves, obscure vision, and shift enmity... he could cover the distance from the contamination source to the door.

This was Zhou Baiyu's combat plan. There was a very crucial aspect of this plan—

finding the source of contamination.

Of course, this seemed not too difficult. Intuition told Zhou Baiyu that this time, the source of contamination, which could radiate from the Advanced World of the Pantheon to the real world, had to be a special kind of contaminant.

It might not exist in the form of contaminants.

If it was an object, his Mutator talent would allow him to see the properties of the object.

If it was a contaminant, this contaminant must have something akin to a "cycle" Divine Embryo, or some similar concept.

With the power of the God of Games and Entertainment, he could invariably see it.

Of course, if it was a contaminant, whether he could kill the opponent was crucial.

But having come this far, Zhou Baiyu had no way back.

After replaying the plan in his mind once more and confirming its feasibility, Zhou Baiyu quickened his step.

...

...

Central Temple.

Lechter said,

"The one who offers the treasures must be from Karlando. I wonder, taking the sacred relics that Karlando needs doesn't really make sense, does it?"

Barn nodded.

"So, who should get Karlando's sacred relics then?"

Box understood what the two meant.

By now, the one offering the treasures had entered the Central Temple, passing through the sacred court filled with temple guards.

He would reach the place where the three men were with their five great statues in just a few minutes.

"Of course, I should keep them. We don't need a Demigod, do we?"

Barn stated plainly,

"Indeed, we don't need a Demigod, but we need this item."

"With this treasure, once its Divine Embryo is confirmed to be that of Games and Entertainment, then we can control Karlando."

"The balance will then be broken again, Box, your power is already strong. If you obtain something that can threaten Karlando, that seems a bit unfair, doesn't it?"

Barn was always too straightforward with his words, some things shouldn't be said outright.

Box's face instantly darkened.

Among these people, Lechter was like a British gentleman, while Box appeared ancient, and Barn, although a follower of the God of Thunder and Flame, was all muscle.

Barn's ambitions made Box very uncomfortable.

"Lechter, do you think so too?" Box first asked for Lechter's opinion.

Lechter was much smarter, but he also didn't want Box to confront Barn directly, because, after all—when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.

"I don't mind, but Barn, just wants you, Box, to understand our fears. A cornered rabbit will bite."

The three men all harbored ulterior motives.

Everyone wanted that item that could turn Karlando into a Demigod.

Unconsciously, even the positions they took around each other formed a strategic angle.

Just when the three were prepared to continue persuading each other—

Zhou Baiyu finally reached the worship hall.

Five enormous statues were present, four of which emitted an eerie cold-toned red light.

It looked like thick blood.

Only one emitted a glow that brought immense pleasure to Zhou Baiyu.

That was the statue of the God of Games and Entertainment.

The statue of the Sealing and Ritual God extended an arm, which emitted a purplish-black glow.

Initially, Zhou Baiyu noticed the purplish-black glow, but he hadn't time to examine what it was.

The next second, his gaze was captivated by the statues themselves.

The three supreme leaders had already given their orders, so Zhou Baiyu could walk here unblocked.

They hadn't reached a conclusion, so they decided to first see the person who had come to offer the treasures.

Wearing a mask and a straw raincoat made Zhou Baiyu appear less sincere.

Box always felt that there was something odd about this situation. Karlando was too foolish, being so ostentatious.
