Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

It was as if she was the only person left in this world.

She suddenly had an overwhelming urge to cry out loud, to scream certain words, but for whom to hear? What should she scream?

This was Zhang Haoyun's most desperate moment, yet it was also in this moment...

Amidst the black mist, a figure was tirelessly tearing apart those monsters solidified from resentful memories.

The figure still maintained a human silhouette, but was enveloped in a strange black mist.

His initial progress was difficult, as the monsters, born from people in his memories, were exhausting to deal with.

But gradually, he seemed to master a certain power more and more proficiently.

He let out an angry roar that kept echoing within the domain of the black lotus.

Zhang Haoyun, deep in the darkness, thought she heard something.

But she wasn't sure.

The next moment, the roar kept getting closer, as if it was a thunderous bolt that would split the night!

Zhang Haoyun's pupils constricted; she even thought it was a hallucination deep within her consciousness.

But soon, the figure was getting closer.

He was covered in wounds and finally reached a place the vengeful memories dared not approach!

His hands plunged without hesitation into the cocoon wall formed by the black tentacles, as if a fierce beast tearing its prey apart, attempting to rip open that layer of cocoon wall!

"Zhang Haoyun! Do you believe in miracles?"

She heard it.

In the depth of utmost despair and loneliness, that voice came from afar, piercing through layers of darkness!

In that moment, she was filled with extreme fear:

"Zhou Baiyu... is that you? Don't come near me... don't come near me... I'm so ugly right now..."

The existence enveloped in black mist, maintaining a human silhouette, was Zhou Baiyu.

His power was still weak. Having just injected the serum, he had to endure not only the body's transformation from the serum but also the overbearing effects of the "Corrosive Liquid" left by Dr. A...

He also had to resist a will from Dr. A himself.

But he finally made it here, driven by immense tenacity.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't hear Zhang Haoyun's voice, with nothing but endless noise in his ears, whispers of deformed memories.

But he didn't care, as if certain he would get a response:

"Zhang Haoyun! Do you believe in miracles?"

The Corruption Tentacles kept piercing Zhou Baiyu's skin, trying to transform him through corruption, to tame him.

And Zhang Haoyun, vaguely guessing this scene, just sobbed softly:

"I told you, it's impossible to get close to me..."

Her voice was full of self-blame, and suddenly, she found herself caring about this world again, wanting to fight against the will of corruption, to reclaim her body.

Zhou Baiyu still couldn't hear her because Zhang Haoyun's response was too faint.

His consciousness was bombarded by countless twisted, horrific memories...

But his tearing movements became fiercer, as if he was a stubborn child who wouldn't stop questioning until he got an answer!

"Zhang Haoyun, do you believe in miracles?"

His voice was louder, more adamant, demanding a single answer, and would only accept one answer!

The woman had finally regained some of her sight and saw the man's arm tearing through the cocoon wall, but one of the man's hands was no longer human.

That crimson crystalline arm was a testament to the man's transformation into a monster.

She even thought... it was a sign of her own transformation.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! How many times must I say it! There's no——"

Her words suddenly stopped.

The arm, red as a raging fire and covered with red crystalline scales resembling a Divine Weapon, seemed capable of easily slicing through the Corruption Tentacles!

The black tentacles encapsulating Zhang Haoyun's head were almost completely cleared away by these crimson crystals.

Zhang Haoyun couldn't believe it... Zhou Baiyu had actually torn apart the layers of the cocoon wall!

Zhou Baiyu, at this moment, still had half a human face, while the other half was covered in a red crystalline barrier, resembling frozen red flames.

He looked at Zhang Haoyun, her neck down nearly all crimson eyes, seemingly without any trace of fear:

"I've said it before! Life will definitely get better, no matter the past. Whatever happens in the future, we can bear it together."

"Now we're all monsters, none of us is nobler than the others!"

"Answer me! Do you believe in miracles?"

Biting her lip hard, trying to hold back her tears, Zhang Haoyun could no longer restrain herself.

All the emotions erupted at once, like a dam bursting in an instant!

She had longed to respond loudly, long before this moment, every time she encountered fortunate people and things, in her loneliest times—she had wanted to scream out her belief with all her might!

"I do believe! I've always believed!! Don't leave me behind! Don't hate me! If there's a God, then bring a miracle to me!"

Yes, believe, always have, which is why she has lived with such pain on her back, why she embraces life despite everything.

It's just that life was truly too desperate, desperate to the point where she thought she, such as she was, didn't deserve happiness.

In her father's curses, she also thought... that man was just saying things without meaning them.

She had already become a monster that frightened others—what was there to face together?

It was not until this moment that she really felt the madness of this man. So, there were indeed people in this world who would go to such lengths for her!

No matter what Zhou Baiyu originally intended, at this moment, in Zhang Haoyun's eyes... this was the most ardent love she had ever received in her life.

She wept out loud because, in a life filled with torment, this was the first time someone had been so kind to her.

"Good, it's great that you believe, I'll take you away from here! Don't be afraid!" Zhou Baiyu spoke as if she were not the monster people feared... just a frightened little girl.

Countless black tentacles were severed by the bizarre crimson crystals.

It was as if these crystals could naturally cause great harm to corrupted things.

This was Dr. A's research.

In common belief, Dr. A had created medicine that could inhibit corruption.

People thought it was a form of medical suppression.

But the truth was... the mad Dr. A found that although the corrupted creatures were wildly different, they all shared two characteristics—crimson and black.

Crimson eyes, black tentacles.

And his final product...was specifically aimed at these two things.

In other words...his suppression was not from a medical standpoint, but a physical one— severing corruption!

Half of his body seemed to be enveloped in frozen flames, the irregular crimson crystalline form relentlessly destroying the cocoon that had already been torn open!

However, this was also a huge drain for Zhou Baiyu.

In his consciousness, the warning from Dr. A surfaced.

A fifty percent ratio collapse in an instant, those crystals like frozen flames persistently invading the part of Zhou Baiyu that was "human."

Clearly, the "Reverse Corruption" caused by Dr. A's reagent was exhibiting side effects.

But he couldn't care less; no matter what, today he would take Zhang Haoyun away from here.

He was the miracle today!

His hands swung wildly, like a swordsman on the battlefield who had lost his sight, resisting to the end with unceasing sword strikes!

And as the cocoon was increasingly destroyed...escaping by force was apparently also a huge drain for Zhang Haoyun.

The crimson eyes on her body began to close one by one from extreme fatigue.

As if the crimson flowers were wilting one after another.

Her consciousness also became fuzzy, but she remained stubborn and kept holding on.

Finally, she saw that Zhou Baiyu's hands were no longer crazily severing the tentacles, but were embracing her own shoulders.

Then, with a roar, Zhou Baiyu actually pulled Zhang Haoyun out of the broken cocoon!

In the process of the pull, numerous tentacles snapped. And as Zhang Haoyun was completely freed from the cocoon...

The gigantic black lotus realm collapsed instantly, and those black tentacles that formed the cocoon, like dying insects, began to crawl aimlessly before gradually coming to a stop in their writhing.

The black mist that formed the black lotus realm...was dissipating rapidly.

The colorful specters of memories and grievances within the lotus all vanished without a trace.

At the same moment, Zhou Baiyu, who had overexerted himself with Reverse Corruption, and Zhang Haoyun, who had forcibly escaped the cocoon, both lost consciousness.

Plop, a man and a woman, these two monsters, collapsed at the same time.

Seconds later, a man yawned and squatted in front of the two monsters, checking Zhou Baiyu's breath:

"Things have actually developed like this... quite impressive, Jiang Xianwu."
