Chapter 394: Inducing Vomit
"Stop that thing!"
The fireball that had knocked down Camera had naturally been unleashed by the other enemy anomaly.
With its terrible defenses, Camera was naturally severely wounded by the blow, and Adam hurriedly directed Distortion to target the other anomaly through their psychic connection.
The gluttonous anomaly's abilities rendered Distortion next to useless, so it was a much better idea to get Distortion to target the other anomaly.
However, even after evolving so many times, Distortion still didn't heed Adam's commands at times, and Adam issued the same instruction to it several times in a row to no avail. Thus, he had no choice but to direct Nun, Clown, and Mummy to attack the other anomaly.
"Almost there! One more slash and its stomach will be completely torn open!"
After the other anomaly was intercepted by Adam's trio of anomaly, Mole and Armadillo also entered the fray to make it a one on five battle, and the fire-wielding anomaly was completely occupied, unable to blast any further attacks in Adam's direction.
Meanwhile, Adam was preparing to rescue his allies.
Even though Camera had suffered severe injuries, its offensive prowess was still largely unaffected, and it unleashed another all-out strike with its legs. This time, it was able to completely tear through the gluttonous anomaly's belly to reveal a warped and boundless space that resembled a black hole.
The abdominal cavity of the gluttonous anomaly resembled an alternate dimension that was filled with a massive quantity of undigested food, most of which were things like dirt and rocks, but Hellhound and Rabbit were also inside.
Hellhound was in decent condition as it possessed strong physical resistance, and it hadn't been in there for a long time, but parts of Rabbit's body had already disintegrated, and the rest of her body was riddled with signs of corrosion.
Most importantly, no matter how Adam called out to the two, neither of them displayed any reaction. It seemed that any living being that entered the gluttonous anomaly's stomach would completely lose consciousness.
"Camera, aim at its stomach and go again."
After receiving this instruction, Camera unleashed another all-out blow, but this time, it wasn't very effective as the strange space within the gluttonous anomaly's abdominal cavity was somehow able to absorb the majority of the force behind Camera's attack.
Meanwhile, the gluttonous anomaly was beginning to retaliate, and it was so strong that even Adam was struggling to hold it in place.
This was a very difficult predicament for Adam as the gluttonous anomaly was largely impervious to physical attacks, and Adam didn't possess any spatial abilities. Most importantly, time was of the essence, and he simply didn't have enough time to think of a plan.
He looked on as Rabbit's body continued to disintegrate bit by bit, and he was feeling very anxious. As a result of his agitation, his psychic body was also displaying a slight reaction.
All of a sudden, Adam's eyes abruptly lit up. It had occurred to him that emotions like anxiety, stress, and disgust were all capable of inducing vomit.
In the instant that this thought arose in his mind, Horse Face had already pulled out its brush.
The brush fell out of mid-air, painting that world-renowned piece of artwork, the Lamenting Wall, on its own.
After drawing everyone into the Lamenting Wall, Horse Face continued in his creation, but on this occasion, as opposed to painting throngs of horrified and despairing bystanders, it was creating hordes of anxious, disgusted, and agitated monsters.
As soon as these monstrous creatures emerged, they immediately pounced at the gluttonous anomaly one after another.
Horse Face's emotion-based abilities were so formidable that even an adapter of Guang Fei's caliber wasn't immune to them.
At this point, these emotion-based attacks were the most fearsome method of attack at Adam's disposal, and having fallen prey to the Lamenting Wall himself in the past, he knew just how terrifying this ability was.
As it turned out, the gluttonous anomaly wasn't able to fare much better than he had.
In the face of the repeated emotional attacks, its body began to twitch and spasm, causing its flabby rolls to ripple and quiver. After withstanding yet another round of attacks, a monster that seemed to have been the very embodiment of stress and anxiety emerged, constantly whispering something into the gluttonous anomaly's ear.
The sound of a pencil's tip gliding over paper was constantly ringing out beside the gluttonous anomaly's ears, and the stressful sound finally overcame its resistance.
Its entire body spasmed violently, and it opened its mouth up wide to throw up the contents of its stomach.
A massive volume of sludge came gushing out alongside all types of different objects, and Adam hurriedly caught Rabbit and Hellhound as they were flying past him.
After setting Hellhound down onto the ground, Adam turned his attention to Rabbit and called out, "Wake up, Rabbit! Are you alright?"
"It fucking... hurts..."
That was all Rabbit was able to respond with before she fell completely unconscious.
Adam was very relieved that she wasn't dead.
For psychic mutants, recovery was only a matter of time as long as they didn't suffer psychic death.
However, Adam was still a little concerned, so he continued to carry Rabbit with him as he cast his gaze toward the battlefield.
Both of the enemy anomalies were level seven or level eight anomalies, making them extremely formidable opponents that were virtually impossible to take down in a short time, so Adam decided not to try and destroy them.
All he had to do was stall for some time, and once the Mechguard units arrived on the scene, the physical bodies of these anomalies' hosts would be destroyed.
The same thought had occurred to everyone else as well, and after the battle wore on for a while longer, the two enemy anomalies could see that they weren't going to win, so they attempted to leave the psychic world.
However, that was not going to be a simple task. They were on the back foot to begin with, and they were severely outnumbered, so there was no way that they could escape.
Another two minutes passed, and as Adam intercepted the gluttonous anomaly once again, it suddenly began to beg for its life. "Let me go. Please, I'm begging you."
This thing has autonomy?
In contrast with normal anomalies, these anomalies seemed to have attained adapter abilities after having their personas uploaded into black slates, thereby granting them a certain degree of autonomy.
"Have you always had autonomy, or did you only become autonomous after your persona was uploaded into the blank slate?"
Adam thought back to the gentleman that he had encountered at the cannibal club. Both Raven and that man had managed to attain autonomy on their own so they weren't completely overcome by the extreme emotions of their anomalies, but this gluttonous anomaly didn't seem to be as intelligent as those two were.
"I don't know what you're talking about! Just let me go!"
The gluttonous autonomy's patience finally ran out, and it flew into a thunderous rage, howling in a deranged manner as it rushed directly at Adam.
However, it then suddenly stopped cold in its tracks before abruptly vanishing on the spot, as did the fire-wielding anomaly at almost the exact same moment.
A bolt of blue lightning flashed past Adam, and Mole arrived by his side before asking, "Have they been killed by Mechguard units outside?"
"I don't know, but I assume so. Let's get out of here and take a look."
Adam departed from the psychic world as he spoke, and as soon as he returned to reality, he was greeted by a string of messages on his communicator, the first of which was from Shae, and it read: "I'm up on the ground level!"
The subsequent messages were all from Thunderbird.
"There's a group of killers over here, and we've already taken care of them."
"The Mechguard units have arrived."
"We've been separated from Diana, requesting further instructions."
Adam rushed outside while calling Thunderbird on his communicator.
"How did you get separated from Diana?"
"We encountered another group of killers and she insisted on going after someone, but the rest of us were intercepted."
"I see. Go and look for her, and instruct the Mechguard units to look for her as well."
While Adam was speaking into his communicator, he had already emerged from underground.
Sure enough, the entire area had already been surrounded by Mechguard units, and Shae was also waiting for him at the entrance.
"Those two are the killers," Shae said as she pointed at two people nearby, both of whom had been tased unconscious by Mechguard units.
To Adam's surprise, it was a pair of thin girls.
"Are these two really the killers that we dealt with? One of them should be really fat, and looking at their psychic bodies, both of them should be men."
