Chapter 418: Adams Seven Heads

Chapter 418: Adam's Seven Heads

As was quite common, Adam arrived in the same place in the psychic world as the one he was situated in in the real world.

It was still the same water purification plant, but the dozen or so intruders had all turned into anomalies.

Adam quickly counted the anomalies before him to find that there were exactly a dozen of them, and it was clear just from their appearances that they were quite formidable.

Of course, if they weren't, then there was no way that the director would've hand-picked them and wasted blank slates on them.

All those who were chosen had to possess enormous potential or tremendous combat prowess.

Prior to absorbing the anomalic power left behind by the angel of death, Adam definitely wouldn't have dared to take on 12 anomalies of such a high caliber on his own.

However, things were different now. The angel of death had granted him a true anomalic army, elevating him to a whole new level.

"You're on your own?"

After entering the psychic world, an anomaly with feelers growing all over its head was meticulously inspecting its surroundings. Its extremely heightened senses and cautious nature indicated that its host was a very cunning and careful character, and that was reflected in the anomaly.

"It looks like he's on his own," the anomaly concluded after examining the surrounding area.

"What an idiot! He must have a death wish!"

An anomaly with a rough and rugged appearance stepped forward with an eager expressions. Its arms were attached to what appeared to be meat slicer blades, and it was clear that its host was very fond of dismembering bodies.

"We have to kill him quickly! We don't have much time before Mechguard gets here!" the cunning anomaly urged. "He doesn't look very strong, so this should be easy."

"Shut up!"

The other anomaly swung its arm straight into the cunning anomaly's head, severing several of its feelers with its meat slicer blade.

Viscous fluid began to gush out of the severed feelers as the cunning anomaly stumbled back while howling in pain.

It was clear that there was no cohesion to speak of in this rag-tag bunch of psychic deviants.

Furthermore, these people were extremely twisted individuals to begin with, and they were only willing to work together as the director held control over their lives, but they would display their cruel and brutal tendencies at any opportunity.

"Prey has to be slowly sliced apart and toyed with. Otherwise, it won't be fun. We still have plenty of time left, there's no way Mechguard would get here so quickly!"

Despite what it was saying, the meat slicer anomaly was still moving very quickly. It leaped up into the air, covering a distance of dozens of meters in one bound to arrive directly above Adam.

"All of you, stay out of this! He's mine!"

Adam was certainly in no hurry.

No Mechguard unit would harm him, and he had come here to test out his powers. If the enemy wanted to engage him in a one-on-one battle, then he was happy to oblige, and he wasn't afraid of being ganged up on, either.

With that in mind, Adam invoked Spider before fusing as one with it, transforming into a terrifying seven-headed monster.

As opposed to Sludge, Nun, or any of the other anomalies that he commonly used, he had decided to bring out the seven-headed spider anomaly that he had taken form the human head collector.

This was the only new addition to the ranks of his advanced anomalies.

Adam had already evolved it several times while in prison, and thanks to the anomalic power left behind by the angel of death, it had quickly returned to the former peak of its powers.

Seeing as he had come here to test out his powers, he was naturally going to start with the anomalies that he was least familiar with.

"Hold on, are you one of us? Are you here to steal this job from us? You've really chosen the wrong people to mess with!"

After witnessing Adam's new form, the meat slicer anomaly mistook him for a fellow Chaos Raiser, but that didn't mean that it was going to spare Adam.

The massive meat slicer came swinging down toward one of Adam's heads, but Adam took no evasive action, and a huge gash was instantly sliced into his neck.

The meat slicer anomaly was reveling in the sensation of dismembering its prey, and it was just about to lash out at another one of Adam's heads when one of the seven heads suddenly began to smile.

These were heads that had been submerged in formaldehyde for long periods of time, and a smile appearing on such a head presented an extremely terrifying and sinister sight to behold.

As the smile was displayed, Adam unleashed his super regeneration ability, and his wounds quickly began to heal.

"I love guys like you with multiple heads! There's nothing that feels better than slicing off heads one by one!"

As the battle continued, the meat slicer anomaly appeared to be dominating, inflicting several injuries onto Adam's body.

All of a sudden, a smile appeared on a second one of Adam's heads, and his speed instantly increased by severalfold, allowing him to evade all oncoming attacks while leaving trails of afterimages in his wake.

A third head then smiled, and Adam's defenses were instantly elevated to another level. Even if he were occasionally struck by his opponent, the anomaly's meat slicers would only raise trails of sparks against his skin, unable to inflict any substantial harm.

"Looks like you're not a complete slouch, after all!"

The meat slicer anomaly was finally beginning to get serious, and it let loose a loud roar, following which its body became thicker and burlier, while its meat slicer blades also began to revolve at a faster speed.

However, it was time for Adam to retaliate, and as a smile appeared on his fourth head, his strength abruptly spiked through the roof, allowing him to tear away a large chunk of his opponent's skin and flesh with just a single swipe of his claw.

"You're not that strong," Adam remarked as he sprang back after landing an attack. "Is it because the organization is struggling to find strong members? That makes sense, considering how rare psychic deviants are."

By Adam's estimates, this anomaly was only a level six anomaly, and it was a bottom-ranking level six anomaly, to boot.

Its combat prowess couldn't even begin to compare with someone like Raven, and the fact that it was the clear leader of the group indicated that this was a very weak team of Chaos Raisers.

"No wonder so many of you had to come out at once, I suppose you have to use quantity to make up for a lack of quality."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Adam offered no response, but in that instant, all of his heads began to smile at once.

At the same time, his aura swelled drastically, and his body was basked in the light of a glowing hexagram.

The seven heads of Spider represented seven different abilities, and Adam had struggled immensely to take down this fearsome anomaly.

"Super strength, super speed, super regeneration, super defenses, hallucinogenic toxins, energy attacks, technomantic attacks... It's time to show you the horrors that I once had to experience!"
