Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

This is the power of a Demon God.

The stomach acid bit by bit corroded Zhou Baiyu's pitch-black crystal armor.

Due to some injuries from the attacks by the hungry ghosts, the mask on his face also began to deform gradually.

Zhou Baiyu had already fought with all his strength, yet he was still unable to break free from these hungry ghosts.

What awaited him seemed to be nothing but endless torture by the hungry ghosts.

Then, eventually, he would sink into this stomach acid-created Hell of Hungry Ghosts and become food for Lechter.

Perhaps, in the future, he would turn into one of the many hungry ghosts.

"Such an ending... This is truly unbearable."

In this instant, Zhou Baiyu started to use Mel's device.

Spinning like a top, he swung his black blade and slaughtered the surrounding hungry ghosts.

Zhou Baiyu won a brief respite for himself. Without any hesitation, he immediately used Mel's device, the Third Eye.

The Third Eye could only be used when one became a corrupted being, its effect being to enhance corruption abilities.

With a third eye sprouting on his forehead, Zhou Baiyu looked even more like an evil deity from hell.

At this moment, his power was amplified again. The mask on his face, which had started to show signs of damage, became as good as new under the power's amplification.

"If I can survive, I must ask Sister Mel how she came to possess such a device."

Speed and strength were once again enhanced. Zhou Baiyu's view of the world became sharper and slower.

The Third Eye seemed to allow him to see a brief glimpse into the future, so short that he wasn't sure if it was vision or intuition.

However, it seemed that he could feel the attacking desires of his opponents.

The attacks of the hungry ghosts appeared to be predictable just a moment in advance.

Zhou Baiyu's figure was like a streak of pitch-black lightning.

He kept weaving through the Hell of Hungry Ghosts... The dark gleam of his blade traced straight paths as the sticky monsters were slashed down one by one.

But such enhancement was only a temporary solution, not a cure.

Watching the masked figure slashing the hungry ghosts becoming more agile and decisive, Lechter's expression remained unchanged.

He even felt—the target was tastier now.

In the end, the gap in strength between Zhou Baiyu and Lechter and the others was too vast.

For Zhou Baiyu, the headquarters of the Pantheon was still too premature.

"This is not right, there must be something I'm overlooking..."

Zhou Baiyu felt that his first transformation into a corrupted being shouldn't have been like this.

However, when it came to becoming a corrupted being, he actually didn't have much talent.

Zhang Haoyun's corrupt ability could activate "Insect Control."

Zhen Shi seemed to be able to influence the emotions of those around him.

Bai Ling was capable of unleashing powerful Telekinesis.

Seamer could stitch anything together.

But what about his own ability?

The precognition came from the Third Eye, and was not a power of his own.

The corruption trait of getting stronger when facing stronger opponents probably wasn't it, either.

There should be at least one more ability.

But in such a deadly battle, Zhou Baiyu sadly didn't know how to use the power of his new body.

He was like an advanced infantry unit in an RTS game.

Without any special skills, he could only rely on sweeping values in melee attacks to deal damage to the monsters.

And, in the continuous battle, Zhou Baiyu shockingly discovered—

The monsters were still getting stronger.

Who knows how many hidden hungry ghosts there still were in Lechter's Hell of Hungry Ghosts?

Outside of the Hell of Hungry Ghosts, there was also a Barn with superhuman speed and attacking power.

Meanwhile, Zhou Baiyu looked around and saw that Lechter's seal had cut off all his avenues of escape.

The corruption transformation allowed Zhou Baiyu to avoid being instantly killed, but that was all.

"No way out, no way out, no way out..."

While continuously slaying the hungry ghosts, Zhou Baiyu repeatedly muttered these four words.

No way out.

No matter how he looked at it, there was no way out for him today.

Even though he had already confirmed it before, even when he decided to undergo the corruption, he had realized it...

But still, he was not reconciled, hoping he could use his trump card to escape.

However, as he kept muttering "no way out," the sense of despair and sorrow in his heart also grew...

Finally, he gave up completely.

"I was still harboring hope, thinking that against such a powerful enemy, I could escape unscathed. How naive."

This certainly wasn't naiveté. It was just that time after time, having cleared levels with an SSS ranking and repeatedly turning the tables, Zhou Baiyu always felt—

Despair is nothing but the abandonment of hope.

As long as one doesn't give up, there is always hope, and there must be a way to get through the level.

But this time, he could see no hope.

Absolute Moment hadn't been activated.

The devices he had obtained through transformation were all combat-related, providing no ultimate cure.

There was no way out.

Thinking back carefully, in those past scenarios, there were many instances of no way out. However, Extreme Transformation always defied logic.

But this defiance wasn't always directed at the enemy.

Just like at this moment, Zhou Baiyu found that after injecting Sister Mel's Extreme Transformation enhancing drug...

His transformation count and efficiency surged dramatically.

Yet no matter how he transformed, none of the items in the device slot showed signs of Extreme Transformation.

Many times, Zhou Baiyu relied on luck, on differences, and on chaos, to break through limits time after time...

But this time, luck didn't seem to be on his side.

Three top authorities of the Pantheon... They seemed to have better fortune than Zhou Baiyu.

Everything in this world has its cause and effect.

At first, Zhou Baiyu was wary of Karlando, afraid that Karlando would see through him.

But now in retrospect, Karlando was the real savior.

Because in Karlando's game domain—

He could undergo Extreme Transformation indefinitely.
