Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Inside the transfer station.

Among the pioneer group discussing strategies, even those like "Without Equal" decided to reveal their unique characteristics, trying to see if they could enter the Black Lotus District using a combination of special attributes within human capabilities.

Or, they could simply try to empty the city of Linxiang and designate it as a restricted area.

An announcement was made among the pioneers.

[Defense mode has ended; the threat of corruption seeds has been temporarily resolved; the timing for the next wave of defense mode is to be determined.]

[Congratulations to the pioneers for successfully defending version 1.0 of the world. Considering the exceptional performance of a very few pioneers, providing us with valuable data feedback, we will erase the memories of some non-pioneer humans. And through adaptive memory, we will carry out logical repairs.]

[Related rewards have been distributed to the pioneers who successfully dismantled the crisis. We hope the rest of the pioneers strive harder; we are eager to see more possibilities.]

Minutes before this message appeared, Guang Tongchen spoke:

"I guess it's not just the few of us participating in the restless dreamscapes, right? It seems we are...missing someone?"

As these words fell, the legendary pioneers who participated in the restless dreams realized, Jiang Xianwu was not present.

Liuyan was also not present.

Everyone guessed that Jiang Xianwu was probably still combating that dreamscape.

But how could he sustain it for so long?

But each pioneer seemed pessimistic.

"He indeed is an excellent Mutator, daring to gamble, and also quite lucky, with a flexible mind. I believe that a Mutator requires more intelligence than an Observer. But I am not optimistic about him."

Guang Tongchen really was not optimistic. In his view, the limits of human capabilities were as such.

Unless...he no longer remained human.

Perhaps within the dark fog, there are other corruption seeds, but clearly, even if one became a corruption seed, they would just be secondary slaves of a demonic level.

What "Without Equal" actually cared about was not this; he also did not believe that humans could solve this incident.

But if Jiang Xianwu truly could sustain such a long time in the dream, this young man must be very capable of making decisions.

And such a person often possesses the potential to become a great overlord.

Thinking thus, he suddenly placed greater importance on Jiang Xianwu.

"We are currently too busy to pay attention to Brother Jiang. Let's discuss how to resolve this crisis," said Ke Zhongye, who also did not think Jiang Xianwu could create much impact.

"We perhaps shouldn't be too arrogant; just because we can't solve this issue doesn't mean other pioneers can't... This is a crisis for all humanity; perhaps among other pioneers, there are those with excellent characteristics who can turn misfortune into a blessing."

"If that still doesn't work, then we should utilize all our connections, try to get the higher-ups to tackle the crisis in Linxiang City… and seal off the city."

Without Equal's advocacy was correct.

Although this is a competitive mission, currently, the safety of humanity is more important.

Allowing Black Lotus to spread would inevitably cause detrimental effects.

But just after he finished speaking, about four seconds later—

The announcement appeared.

Defense mode has been lifted, the second wave of defense mode is to be determined.

And some pioneers had already received unique rewards, and "we" seem especially satisfied with the performance of the pioneers.

This issue that was causing several legendary pioneers and regional leaders of pioneers in Longxia much distress…

was just resolved like that.

Guang Tongchen: "..."

Tianxia Wu Er: "..."

Ke Zhongye, Huan Liuyan, and others were also speechless for a moment.

What did the current situation resemble? It was like two armies facing each other, the weaker side watching as the stronger side advanced with a mighty army, dust filling the sky, and fierce troops surging forward...

Just as everyone was debating whether to retreat or fight to the death, the mighty enemy army simultaneously dismounted, bowed, and surrendered in a grand gesture.

It was also like a strongman fighting a skinny monkey, toying with them until the moment of despair, and then suddenly kneeling down to beg for mercy.

This scene came so abruptly that several legendary different walkers felt somewhat embarrassed.

Of course, this was a good thing, but no one could manage to laugh.

Everyone felt confused, wondering who they were, where they were, and what had just happened.

In the Jingqi Forum, however, people had already begun speculating about what had happened.

In the end, who completed the task? Was it Tianxia Wu Er, Guang Tongchen, or Waking Dream Wuchang, or perhaps Huan Liuyan, Ke Zhongye?

Bets were already being placed, and everyone was waiting for the big shots to speak.

And in the president channel set up by Tianxia Wu Er... the first to speak was none other than Guan Canghai from the Jingqi Association.

"Statistically speaking, those involved in Waking Dream Wuchang's dream work are the most likely to solve Black Lotus."

"Several of us are here, so obviously we are not that mystery mastermind."

"And Jiang Xianwu is not here, I believe, Jiang Xianwu is the most likely to have accomplished this."

"Anything impossible for others can possibly exhibit great deviation with him. As a Mutator, although his abilities can't be used in the real world, don't forget. The last time you all cleared the endless mode, the person with the richest reward was him."

Guan Canghai said this in a mystical way.

Guang Tongchen immediately became vigilant, but as the owner of the characteristic speech, he noticed that Guan Canghai was just calmly stating his thoughts, emotionally stable, and seemed to be deducing it logically.

"Don't be nervous, I haven't spied on him; I just spent some points to learn a little about your team's structure from Three Days at the Fishing Spot. Jiang Xianwu, as a freelancer, has performed outstandingly, and that's all I know."

Guang Tongchen frowned; this was why he disliked cooperating with people outside his guild.

Guan Canghai continued:

"Now, although we can't be 100 percent sure it's Jiang Xianwu, I think... there's a considerable possibility it was done by Jiang Xianwu."

"Guildmaster Guang, I envy you, if you cultivate him well, he might be the only third-tier different walker today."

Guan Canghai's assessment was high, but if Jiang Xianwu had really cleared the defense mode...

Then he was now a hero of humanity.

How long had this guy been a different walker? Was this really that bottom-of-the-barrel Mutator from the nine professions?

How did he do it?

This question seemed to swiftly occur to the legendary different walkers.

"The corrupt species threat is temporarily resolved, congratulations to the different walkers, you've successfully defended version 1.0 of the world. Everyone, have you noticed... the wording of this clearing ending seems different from the beginning?"

"The mission prompt was to find and eradicate the source of corruption. But the feel of the ending... it seems like the corrupt species is still alive?"

This was a suspicion raised by Huan Liuyan, and Guang Tongchen immediately thought of Jiang Xianwu's maneuver on the cruise ship...

Could it be that he had persuaded the corrupt species? Fuck, how is it that this kind of thing seems like something this kid would do?

Could this be Jiang Xianwu's characteristic?

Guang Tongchen actually guessed wrong, yet somehow guessed right.

Jiang Xianwu indeed possessed this characteristic, but this time... he hadn't used that method.
