Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Although this remark sparked interest in a few individuals, Zhou Baiyu's situation was still pretty grim.

He had to find a way to pinpoint the source of the pollution, and the amount of time he had left was actually very little.

As soon as he encountered the three Demon Gods, Zhou Baiyu was already one foot in the grave.

"Are there other divine treasures? Where exactly have you been?" Lechter licked his lips.

It didn't really matter whether the man in the mask spoke or not.

If he devoured the masked man, he would obtain the man's memories.

Lechter glanced at Box. Box understood the hint.

The implication was—

The divine treasures would be yours, and Karlando could be controlled by you in the future.

But this kid must be mine.

After thinking it over, Box considered that the other divine treasures might not be the same as this individual's Divine Embryo.

The pantheon also had its share of divine treasures. As long as these divine treasures couldn't be used by anyone, that sufficed.

So he agreed. Box needed to make some concessions to the others.

In an instant, Zhou Baiyu read the exchanged glances between the two.

"This is bad. It seems that this god of gluttony has some kind of violent method to crack open my memories," he realized.

"That look clearly shows it doesn't matter whether I speak or not."

Zhou Baiyu's memories, in fact, were very valuable.

If his memories were known to others, the identities of many individuals from the hub, the forerunners, and the Third World, as well as his collaboration with Mel... everything would be exposed.

Consequently, the Strange Train's influence would also be suppressed by the Pantheon.

He must escape from here; it was absolutely imperative to prevent leakage of his memories.

Even death was preferable to leaving any traces behind.

Zhou Baiyu realized the severity of his predicament.

Although his opponents seemed to offer him a chance to speak, it was all an act.

He was performing for the three Demon Gods to see.

The three Demon Gods were also trying to lull him into complacency with their act.

And the crux of it all was the divine treasures. The moment he offered the divine treasures, he would completely lose his value.

Of course, considering his proximity to the three Demon Gods, there were only two probabilities—

The first was to offer up the divine treasures, disclose their location, and then die.

The second was for the opposers to kill him right away and strip away everything he had.

His absolute weakness against the absolute strength of the enemy, compounded by the apparent ability to forcefully extract memories, meant he really had no bargaining power at all.

"This feeling of being so weak that I'm at anyone's mercy is truly infuriating. If I can survive and return, I must exhaust every resource to find more ways to strengthen my hand..."

To disrupt the opponent's rhythm, he also had to accelerate his own plans.

Zhou Baiyu quickly made up his mind.

His brain spun at the speed of light, and in that instant, he reviewed the items he could use to turn the tables.

It couldn't be Mel's tools; those were meant for escaping danger.

So were there any other items that he could use?

Intuition is actually when the brain thinks so fast that your own awareness hasn't had time to process the thoughts.

Zhou Baiyu's intuition guided him to a classic movie scene.

In "Sherlock Holmes," there's a moment where Sherlock instantly identifies the location of a safe in a room.

It's simple; he tests his opponent with a sentence.

When he leads the opponent to believe that their most valuable possession has been stolen, the person subconsciously looks towards that item.

Thus, one could identify where the item is hidden.

Zhou Baiyu also thought at once—

"The Ascetics and Forerunners, all sealed within the cycle. Currently, it appears that the person within the cycle is also a supreme authority..."

"So, it's likely that the cost of the sealing is enormous."

"And if that's the case, the Pantheon would certainly regard it as a treasure. Thus, the source of the pollution is fundamentally a 'safe'."

"They're not guarding against me, not subconsciously fortifying protections, because I am truly too weak..."

"But what if I release somebody slightly dangerous, or someone beyond their comprehension?"

This individual, of course, wasn't Mark.

Zhou Baiyu immediately thought of an item he hadn't dealt with for a long time.

"Please allow me to present the divine treasures to you," Zhou Baiyu said calmly and respectfully.

The only advantage of being weak is that in the eyes of the opponent, you're nothing more than an ant.

The actions of an ant fail to catch the attention of lions.

Zhou Baiyu, holding the Eternal Laughter, approached Box.

But suddenly, Zhou Baiyu feigned a contemplative expression:

"Oh right, my lord, I found something like this earlier. Could you please take a look and tell me what this is?" he said.

During his speech, one hand held the Eternal Laughter while the other reached into his chest, groping for something.

Box was actually getting a bit impatient. Still, if he could avoid conflict, he preferred not to engage.

He was also curious about what other treasures this masked man might have on him.

Suddenly, Zhou Baiyu withdrew a Crystal Ball from his chest.

The Crystal Ball was sparkling and translucent, but at its heart lay Horror Demon Buxun.

The Demon King-level Horror Demon Buxun had been instantly sealed by Zhou Baiyu using the power of Absolute Moment during the Demon Clan Arena battle.

Box, a follower of the Sealing and Ritual God, recognized the sealing effect of the Crystal Ball at a glance.

And at that moment—Zhou Baiyu "accidentally" fumbled.

The Crystal Ball slipped from Zhou Baiyu's hand and fell to the ground.
