Chapter 413: A Vast Amount of Anomalic Power

After Adam's upper body was completely smashed into bits, the angel of death continued its assault, destroying his lower body before he had a chance to regenerate.

Thankfully, Sludge possessed tremendous regenerative abilities, and Adam's body began to slowly reform as the patterns of Sludge's domain appeared on the ground.

However, the angel of death had already witnessed Sludge's ability to regenerate, and it wasn't taking any chances as it pulled out its scale of death.

The aura of pain began to seep out of the stone fragments that littered the ground, and the scale of death quickly began to tilt.

As it did so, Adam's life force began to rapidly recede, and his rate of regeneration was becoming slower and slower. There were even stone fragments on the ground that had already turned to powder as they had been completely sucked dry of life energy.

As a result, Adam was unable to reform his own body, nor was he able to invoke his other anomalies to save him.

The scale of death was a truly formidable ability, and after absorbing enough pain, it was able to kill even adapters of May's caliber.

Adam's life was one that was filled with far more pain than May, so he was completely powerless in the face of this ability.

His life force continued to fade, and even though May was firing arrows at the angel of death from afar, she was unable to cut off its ability anytime soon.

Finally, Adam's life force was sucked dry, and all of his stone fragments had turned into powder, while the domain on the ground was also beginning to fade.

However, right as his consciousness was starting to disappear, Renee's voice suddenly rang out once again.

"Who gave you permission to kill my companions?"

Just like the age-old cliché that had played out in all types of media, the main character always made their return when their companions were in danger.

It seems like there must be a trigger for her to undergo a second resurrection! This is the first time I've seen this, May thought to herself as she observed from afar.

Having resurrected herself a second time, it was as if Renee had turned Super Saiyan, displaying more than 10 times the power she had attained following her first resurrection.

As soon as her voice trailed off, an enormous surge of magical power devoured the angel's domain, following which Renee arrived atop a rainbow. Her magical power had manifested itself into a staff, and with just a gentle tap, the angel's entire body began to disintegrate.

"I won't allow you to hurt my companions!"

The angel's body began to flash with holy light as it forcibly attempted to regenerate while swinging its mace at Renee, while the latter raised her staff high above her head, conjuring up countless magical sprites that destroyed the mace in an instant before pulverizing the scale of death as well.

Within the span of just a few seconds, the almighty angel of death had been defeated, and Adam took advantage of this opportunity to slowly regenerate himself.

He raised his head to stare at the incredible scene unfolding before him. He had imagined that Renee was definitely going to be extremely powerful, seeing as she was one of the Psychic Church's 12 bishops, but never had he thought that she would be this fearsome.

Even though the triggering prerequisites that had to be satisfied were rather rigorous, following her second resurrection, she had attained power that wasn't inferior to Hebi no Miko's.

Out of everyone that Adam knew, perhaps only Hebi no Miko would've been able to defeat the angel of death so easily. In fact, perhaps even she would've been incapable of this.

"May, I'll leave the last strike to you."

Renee waved her staff through the air as she spoke, manifesting several enormous magical arms in the air. The arms were formed by rainbow magical power, and they grabbed onto the angel's limbs, suspending it in mid-air.

May had already been charging up power for a long time, and she immediately unleashed her most destructive diamond arrow.

This was an arrow that had once severely wounded Hebi no Miko, and it pierced straight through the angel's body, following which the angel was torn into pieces by the giant magical arms.

Adam hurriedly called out for them to stop upon seeing this.

"That's enough! You can leave now!"

After its body was completely destroyed, the angel of death no longer had the ability to self-regenerate. Its massive head rolled over to Adam, and the light in its eyes was about to fade at any moment.

"Are you sure? Can you take care of this thing on your own from here?" Renee asked.

"Of course," Adam replied, and at the same time, he noticed that her aura was beginning to wane from its peak.

Her abilities weren't perfect, just as main characters weren't always invincible.

However, this wasn't the time to be considering such matters. At this moment, Adam was so excited that it was as if fireworks were being set off in his heart, and he was having to stop himself from jumping for joy.

"According to our agreement, it's time for you to go."

"Alright, I don't know what you're plotting, but I don't really care."

Renee was still just as unwilling to meddle in affairs unrelated to her, and she immediately left the psychic world.

May also flew over from the distance, then took a meaningful glance at Adam in silence before departing from Noah's psychic world as well.

With Shae keeping an eye on them in the real world, they weren't going to be coming back in, and Adam knew that he could finally commence his feast.

I've never been able to devour so much anomalic power in one sitting!

Adam was ecstatic as he invoked all of his anomalies. Aside from the ones that he commonly used, like Clown and Distortion, he even invoked the likes of Two Face and all of the other infantile anomalies that he hadn't used before.

This was an enormous amount of anomalic power, and there was no way that the anomalies that he often used would've been able to digest all of it on their own.

"Come! It's time to feast!" Adam declared as he crushed the head of the angel of death under his massive stone foot.

The almighty angel of death finally met its demise, and an astronomical amount of anomalic power surged forth.

I've never seen this much anomalic power before!

All of the anomalies instantly pounced onto the feast of anomalic power as if they were starving animals without even requiring an instruction from Adam.

I hope none of this goes to waste.

Following this battle, Adam had finally managed to determine that the angel of death was definitely a level 10 anomaly, and that was why he had invoked all of his anomalies at once to share the feast.

The anomalic power of a level 10 anomaly was simply too much, and the most powerful anomaly that he possessed at the moment was only level six.

With each succeeding level, the combat prowess of anomalies increased by severalfold or even over tenfold compared with anomalies of the previous level. This ratio didn't necessarily also hold true when it came to anomalic power, but a difference of four levels was still a vast gap.

The first ones to evolve were the infantile anomalies, which quickly returned to their former peaks before preparing to advance even further.

After that came the higher level anomalies that were commonly used by Adam.

They had all been nurtured by Adam to become level five or level six anomalies, and each one of them that evolved represented a huge leap in Adam's overall power.
