Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

The Concealer's speed was extraordinarily fast, ranking second among the nine major professions.

Even the fastest profession— the Time Zero, who worshipped the Time and Space God, only appeared faster because they utilized the space-time rules. If discussing pure speed, the Concealers were the fastest.

Under the effect of several physical acceleration cards, and Guang Tongchen seemed to teleport, arriving in front of the woman.

The woman's name was An Ya. Because that mysterious Dr. A was actually surnamed An.

Indeed, as Zhou Baiyu had said, An Ya was a Demon Emperor-level existence.

However, Deep Corruption, Disaster, Demon Emperor, and the later levels of Demon Emperor... each level was divided into several phases.

Bai Ling and An Ya had just stepped into the Demon Emperor level. They were still adapting to their power, and a significant portion was still to be developed.

Sensing a strong murderous intent, An Ya instantly opened her eyes.

Unlike the first time she cleared the level, this time, An Ya's pupils were purely crimson.

Under the gaze of the blood pupils, countless black tentacles stabbed down from the top of the library!

But Guang Tongchen's sword was too fast, too strong!

The fierce sword light flashed by, and An Ya only felt a cold light grazed by her earlobe.

Even though she had taken a defensive stance, even though she, being a Demon Emperor-level, reacted incredibly quickly, she was still nicked by the sword.

"Despicable pioneer! Your world is doomed to shatter, yet you still hinder me!"

An Ya's voice arose from all directions.

Ling Hansu looked at the ceilings and walls around him, which were emerging with countless mouths, even growing mouths inside mouths...

These mouth issued the same voice, thus An Ya's roar was overlapping and resounding.

Zhou Baiyu frowned.

Our world is about to shatter? What does that mean?

Guang Tongchen remained unaffected by external distractions.

If one sword did not succeed, then another sword came!

Numerous sword lights, swift as thunder, rampantly slashed within the library.

The black mist permeating the air was cut apart by the sword lights!

An Ya probably didn't expect, that the pioneer she encountered this time possessed such formidable power.

In Dr. A's notes, she came to know of the pioneers.

She also knew about this group of creatures doomed for tragic failure.

Dr. A once mentioned—

"The pioneers derive their power by stepping ahead into the future.

They believe that their actions are to prepare for a cruel future. But they are doomed to fail.

Fragmented information, blockades between regions, various survival pressures, and rules that make them leave the region upon fulfilling conditions... and things they think they are familiar with.

For all these reasons, the pioneers believe that they are saving the world. But in fact, it is not so."

There was even more shocking content below this passage.

Through her grandfather's notes, An Ya knew about the pioneers, a group of humans with a pitiful fate.

She scoffed at this group of self-proclaimed saviors, mere playthings of the gods.

To truly change the world, one must rely on oneself!

The moment these people stepped on board, as the "queen", An Ya had already noticed everything through the "worm".

The humans who suddenly appeared on the cruise ship must be the pioneers.

According to her grandfather's notes, this group of pioneers must have some purpose for appearing, perhaps to survive several hours on the cruise ship.

Or maybe to investigate something on the cruise ship?

But all along, An Ya was observing them through the "worm", and it seemed these people weren't here just to survive.

If it was as grandfather often mentioned, that most pioneers only needed to survive enough time to return to their original world...

Then these people shouldn't have provoked her but hidden in the casino instead.

But now, this damned worm has the audacity to draw a sword against me!

An Ya was furious, she guessed the pioneers' purpose was to kill her!

She had already transformed herself into a true Demon Emperor-level existence through continuous self-modification.

Even using her grandfather's research and relics, she managed to maintain a human appearance to control these corrupt creations.

An Ya stretched her hands into the void, and suddenly floated in the air, while numerous crimson eyes also opened.

Her understanding of the pioneers... still remained in her grandfather's notes—

"Weak, potential, and ultimately doomed to fail."

Thus at this moment, when she deployed her real killing moves, she thought the battle should end quickly.

The crimson eyes seemed to possess some kind of petrifying power.

Guang Tongchen only felt his body quickly grow heavy.

The thunderous sword light could no longer be unleashed! The terrifying corrupt creations, those countless worms forming the black mist, began to instantly assail Guang Tongchen!

The terrible might of a Demon Emperor manifested at this moment. The crimson gaze focused entirely on Guang Tongchen, this incredibly fast assassin, whose speed was becoming slower and slower!

Zhou Baiyu watched with trepidation, feeling as if in the next second, his elder might be defeated, and he and the snow demon would be totally annihilated.

But just at that moment, Guang Tongchen crushed the remaining half of the acceleration card!

Darkness descended once again!

Those crimson eyes, in a brief instant, lost their target.

The darkness spread from Guang Tongchen as the center!

An Ya watched this pioneer, suddenly realizing… she couldn't sense the target at all.

And An Ya's heart also felt a tremendous sense of crisis!

"The Pioneers... how can they have become so powerful already?"

The dark night, silently infiltrated An Ya.

A sword light hidden in the darkness merged with An Ya and the night itself... all shattered together!

Guang Tongchen's figure had already leaped into the sky, his back to the night summoned forth, sheathing his sword.

The moment the sword was sheathed, a clanging sound, accompanied by the fracturing of the night, rang out.

An Ya's body also erupted into countless streams of black blood...

"You bunch of... insects... You, you have no idea what you're actually doing!"

"Pitiful Pioneers... you are but playthings of the gods!"

"Only corruption can defeat corruption... Grandfather's idea was right! This is already the apocalypse, the true doomsday of humanity... Those who do not contemplate the path of evolution will only become livestock for the monsters later!"

"Why... why... are you hindering me!"

As flesh burst apart, filled with regret and unwillingness, An Ya's body completely shattered.

Guang Tongchen also knelt on the ground, gasping intensely.

Zhou Baiyu watched this scene, utterly shocked.

"No wonder it is said that the chairman and Tian Xia Wu Er are the pride of humanity, so strong... It's no wonder the guild members have so much confidence in the chairman."

Normally, Zhou Baiyu didn't think that a third-order being could kill a Demon Emperor level.

But clearly, rank is only one aspect of assessing strength.

Just like himself, as a Mutator, although only second-order, he possesses decent attributes and also powerful skills not held by other Mutators, "Absolute Moment."

Obviously, Guang Tongchen, through many trials, had already acquired unique weapons, attributes, and skills.

This also allowed this human to have the strength to directly kill a Demon Emperor level even at third-order.

But other Pioneers, even reaching fourth-order, might not be able to confront a Demon Emperor level.

And truly reaching fourth-order, that would be comparable to a Middleman.

But between third-order and fourth-order, there's still a long road to traverse, and between fourth-order and fifth-order even more so.

Being selected as a Middleman, those nine fourth-order beings must also be extraordinary, and in their time as Pioneers, they must have also been of top-tier aptitude.

Zhou Baiyu's thoughts returned to the present:

"Next, we just need to wait for the ship to dock at Songjiang port."

Guang Tongchen's breathing gradually steadied, but it was evident that he was still very exhausted.

Everyone silently awaited the moment when the ship would dock.

That moment came quickly, amidst the anxious or eager anticipation of the crowd...

Confidence in clearing the level surfaced in everyone's minds—

[Performance Evaluation: SS Rank.]

[Unlocked Achievement: Brutal Clearance (achieved by 0.5% of Pioneers)]

[Summary: Songjiang port finally reached, humans holding the secrets of corruption have been slain.

Their significant impact on Songjiang port has also been eradicated. The mysterious Dr. A and his granddaughter An Ya, with their secrets, return to dust.

The great crisis in Songjiang City is averted, a catastrophe has been calmed.

A new cycle is about to begin, please gather new clues within the last minute.

Endless Mode Penalty—Next round, all members' corruption values +11.]

SS Rank.

Zhou Baiyu was momentarily stunned, if it were any other summoning, achieving an SS Rank would actually be quite satisfactory to return with.

But this time, he couldn't understand, why wasn't it SSS Rank?

"I got an SS Rank, Jiang Xianwu, what about you?" Guang Tongchen looked toward Jiang Xianwu.

Jiang Xianwu was a bit upset: "Sorry, chairman, I also got only an SS Rank."

This statement, in any other summoning version, would definitely be boastful, but in Endless Mode, it was different.

"I got an A Rank…" Ling Hansu said.

Zhou Baiyu lifted his head, looking at the immense library hull.

Was it because they didn't kill the bosses at the hot spring and sports hall? Or are there many places in the huge cruise ship to explore?

No… it shouldn't be like that; docking meant the end of the mission, and if we were to explore everywhere, there wouldn't be enough time.

Unless there were fourth-order Pioneers devoted to the Time and Space God, this level would inevitably be unable to achieve complete exploration.

Feeling the disappointment in Zhou Baiyu's heart, Guang Tongchen consoled:

"There's one more round, don't worry, think carefully."

Zhou Baiyu marveled at the chairman's strong inner world. But now, he was really panicked.

Stamina cards used up, acceleration cards used up, and the chairman had repeatedly performed secret techniques, leaving him with insufficient stamina...

The next round, corruption values would increase by 11, everyone's corruption values would exceed fifty... emotions would be more irritable, and the growth rate of corruption values would be faster.

Back against the wall. The only information obtained was the name An Ya from the clearance evaluation, hardly any help at all.

The next round would definitely be the last. If they couldn't find the SSS Rank secret...

Then they would be forever trapped on this cruise ship, becoming An Ya's "insects."

Zhou Baiyu forced himself to calm down.

"I achieved an SSS Rank once before... there must be something I overlooked."

Thinking this, Zhou Baiyu seemed to have found a bit of direction.
