Chapter 429: The Horrors of Succubus Beth

Even though this was the true psychic world, Adam felt as if he had been plunged into another illusion. Just a single glance was enough to make it almost impossible to look away from the seductive figure before him, even though he knew that this was the target of the operation, Succubus Beth.

His psychic body gave off a type of strange allure. Adam had seen footage of Succubus Beth in real life, so he knew that "she" was actually a well-built man who stood at over 190 centimeters tall, but his psychic body was an extremely seductive woman.

There was no need to look directly at him, even seeing his psychic body out of the corner of one's eye would be enough to project a visage of perfection straight into the beholder's mind.

This was a very peculiar ability that directly used his psychic body as a medium, and there was no process required to unleash the ability. All one had to do was see his psychic body, and they would automatically fall prey to it.

It was unavoidable and indefensible, and the only thing one could do was face it head-on.

Adam was telling himself that he couldn't run away from this battle. Otherwise, a permanent blemish would be left in his psyche, and he would never be able to muster up the courage to go after Succubus Beth again, so he had to take her down here!

Thankfully, Mummy possessed an extremely high degree of techonmantic resistance, and Adam turned its carving knife on himself, giving himself a vicious stab so that the resulting pain would snap him back to his senses.

He was still unable to completely shake off the effects of Succubus Beth's ability, but at the very least, he was able to maintain a base level of rationality. In the face of such a formidable ability, his past self would've definitely already been beyond saving.

Meanwhile, Shae had unconsciously split apart from Hellhound, and there was a starstruck look in her eyes as she began to walk toward Succubus Beth. Adam hurriedly whipped out a bandage to drag her back before slicing a gash onto her arm.

"Ow!" Shae yelped as she snapped back to her senses, and upon realizing what had happened to her, she hurriedly fused back with Hellhound again.

"Holy shit, she almost turned me gay!" Shae exclaimed in bewilderment.

In Adam's eyes, Succubus Beth's seduction didn't discriminate between age or gender. Instead, it purely fulfilled any person's perception of beauty while also luring the beholder into depravity. Ultimately, it was still an ability, but it was one that had virtually no counters.

As long as one was still human and still had an appreciation for beauty, even a twisted individual who had a fetish for collecting organs would fall prey to this ability.

Diana descended from the sky as she folded her wings against her sides and shrank down to only around five meters in size. She appeared to have been unaffected by Succubus Beth's ability, but that wasn't actually the case.

"I can't muster up any intent to hurt her. If I force myself to attack, I'll be expending several times the psychic power as usual."

This was already the best outcome.

Instead of being dismayed, Adam was quite relieved to hear this. As long as everyone on his side could retain their rationality and their ability to fight, then victory was all but assured.

"Relax. Now that she's appeared, we've already succeeded for the most part. Now, all that's left to do is..."

Adam raised his carving knife, but didn't unleash any attacks.

Succubus Beth's attention was elsewhere. Instead, it was fixed on Doctor Edwards.

Even though he was standing in very close proximity to Succubus Beth, he remained completely unmoved by her allure.

"Your seduction has no effect on me," Doctor Edwards said in a cold and implacable voice. "In my eyes, you're just a human body comprised of a pile of blood, flesh, and organs. Your body is rife with flaws, and you're worlds away from perfection."

His harsh words were no different from a bucketful of acid to face for Succubus Beth, and he countered, "Is that right? In that case, why aren't you attacking me? I'm trying to destroy your clinic and kill your patient."

Succubus Beth wiggled her seductive body slightly, and even though it was only a slight movement, it was still enough to evoke a sense of irrepressible desire in the hearts of Adam and all of her puppets.

Shae and Diana shuddered in unison, and the former almost split up from Hellhound again.

"This is really bad! If you ask me, we should just commence the battle right away."

They were worried that they would soon be completely stripped of their battle intent by Succubus Beth's seduction.

Adam tightened his grip on his carving knife and stabbed himself once again to retain his sense of reason, then said, "Let's wait a bit longer. That doctor will be of help to us."

Doctor Edwards looked at Succubus Beth in silence for a moment, then suddenly arrived beside Adam as he said, "I won't interfere with your battle, but I have one condition: you have to ensure that my patient remains alive."

Looking at Doctor Edwards's expression up close, Adam could tell that he was also somewhat affected by Succubus Beth's ability, but to a lesser extent.

"I came here today with the sole purpose of detaining criminal Succubus Beth, and I won't harm any innocent bystanders. However, you and Congressman Johnson will still have to answer to the past crimes that you've committed."

At this point, there was no need for Adam to hide his intentions any longer. He couldn't afford to back down in the face of any threat, and Doctor Edwards gave a stiff nod before backing away into the distance.

Succubus Beth's attention was also turned to Adam, and just a single glance alone was enough to stir up her puppets into a frenzy as they rushed toward Adam's trio, with some of them even unleashing long-range attacks.

A string of bullets, an arrow, a streak of light, and a strange net were instantly launched at Adam and his companions.

"Prepare for battle!" Adam yelled, and Mummy's runed bandages instantly extended several dozen meters through the air, then intertwined in a criss-cross fashion up ahead to form several defensive walls, warding off the oncoming attacks with ease.

At the same time, he slashed his carving knife upward to slice the oncoming net apart down the middle.

Diana rose up into the air, and her body rapidly swelled to around 100 meters in size as she let loose a torrent of draconic flames as thick as a truck toward Succubus Beth and her puppets.

"Why are you being so cruel? You're making me sad!"

Succubus Beth's voice was filled with an indescribable sense of seduction as it rang out directly within the hearts of Adam and his companions, evoking with them an extreme longing and desire, as if she were an almighty spirit that could grant them any wish so long as they kneeled and submitted themselves to her.

Diana shuddered as the torrent of flames pouring out of her mouth faltered, and at the same time, one of Succubus Beth's puppets raised a giant shield to the heavens to keep the draconic flame at bay. Meanwhile, someone else sprang up into the sky with no regard for their own safety, lashing out with the blade in their hand around a dozen times in succession to destroy this initial wave of attacks.

Adam was having to fight his own mind as he released Nun and instructed it to unleash its Fountain of Contamination, inundating the entire psychic world with a vast torrent of sewage. An indescribable foul stench permeated throughout the entire space, while the intensely corrosive sewage destroyed everything in sight.

Immediately thereafter, Horse Face was also invoked, and with a sweep of its brush, the Lamenting Wall took shape, presenting the hellish scene of a nuclear explosion as it encompassed the entire area.

The disaster was only compounded by the Fountain of Contamination as countless people were inundated by the corrosive sewage before melting away into nothingness.

In the face of the nuclear explosion, everything had been sapped of its vibrance. Concepts like beauty lost all meaning, and all beings were equal in the face of such an absolute calamity.

This type of indiscriminate attack was one that completely caught Succubus Beth off guard as well.

In particular, as all of those despairing faces turned to him before letting loose a collective lamenting sigh, Succubus Beth felt his own psychic body flicker and waver for a moment.
