Chapter 254: Super Saiyan
Adam was determined to get what he wanted by whatever means necessary. Shivani wasn't with him, so as long as he didn't kill Alan's psychic body, he could do whatever he wanted. All he had to do was cut out these pieces of self-incriminating footage from the recording, and he would still be able to present a watertight case while maintaining his own image.
Under Nun's control, Alan began to close in on Shaun with a dagger raised in his hand. At this point in his life, Alan had already completely fallen under Shaun's control, and he was extremely resistant to the idea of killing his only friend.
Shaun was also yelling loudly for mercy.
"You can't kill me! We're best friends! Have you forgotten?"
Everything in the psychic world was a reflection of the real world through the eyes of the host, and in Alan's psychic world, Sean was begging for his life.
It seems like he's also quite the coward in Alan's eyes.
Adam had thought that those who liked to murder and control others would all be extremely vicious and brutal people like the killers portrayed in movies, but judging from what was being displayed in Alan's psychic world, Shaun seemed to be no less of a coward than he was.
He was begging incessantly for his life, and his words seemed to be getting through to Alan.
"We grew up together! No one would play with you except for me! I shared all my food with you, and we did everything together! We killed people together, we went to parties together, we went camping together... I was the only one willing to do all of those things with you! You can't kill me!"
Alan let loose a conflicted and agonized roar as he struggled to regain control of his own body, and finally, his powerful emotions forced out the Stockholm anomaly. The black anomaly reappeared behind him, then tried to take over his body again, but Adam wasn't going to give it that opportunity.
As soon as the anomaly was forced out, Adam instantly revealed himself before pulling out a flamethrower and blasting a jet of flames at the viscous black anoamly.
The flames instantly enveloped the anomaly's entire body, and it began to melt like molten tar, dripping onto the ground in large black drops.
There was no way that a level two anomaly like itself could withstand the attacks of a level five anomaly, and during this process, Adam even had to limit the firepower output of his flamethrower so that he didn't accidentally burn Alan's psychic body to death.
Finally, Adam was able to incinerate the anomaly while keeping Alan's psychic body alive.
Just as Adam anticipated, the Stockholm anomaly released a cloud of anomalic power following its demise, and as a level two anomaly, it didn't release much anomalic power, but Adam was still feeling quite excited.
Let me see if I can devour this anomalic power.
Adam hurriedly withdrew Nun into his body before it could pounce on the anomalic power, then made his way over to the cloud of black mist himself before attempting to devour it.
However, no matter how much he tried, the cloud of anomalic power refused to budge.
Adam continued to persist, but to no avail.
This doesn't make sense! Why can't I do it?
After toiling away for a long while, the anomalic power was on the verge of dissipating, but he still hadn't managed to devour even the smallest shred of it.
In the end, he had no choice but to invoke Nun again and allow it to devour the anomalic power in his stead.
Nun immediately pounced onto the cloud of black mist without even requiring an instruction from Adam, and under the nourishment from this influx of anomalic power, its eyes became darker and more terrifying, while the veins on its neck became even more pronounced, and it had clearly become more powerful, having been brought to the verge of further evolution.
After that, Adam departed from Alan's psychic world, upon which he saw Diana laying on the sofa, while the three psychic mutants were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are those three?"
"They went out... to play..." Diana replied.
"Isn't Armadillo supposed to be recording footage?"
"The device... is recording... on its own..."
It was not an easy task to get Diana to speak, and after providing those two responses, she refused to answer any more of Adam's questions.
What a bunch of nutjobs!?Adam cursed internally as he turned to the recorder.
Even though the device was unmanned, it had been operating on its own this entire time without fail.
I have to bring Shae along next time. I can't rely on these four at all!
After securing the footage, Adam called for the nearby Mechguard units to clean up the scene.
He then tracked down the three psychic mutants, who were eating salads in a shop on the street outside.
"It's time to go!" Adam called out, but the three of them didn't hear him.
He was just about to approach them and call out to them again when a bone-chilling sensation ran through his entire body, as if a bucket of cold water had just been poured over his head.
An overwhelming sense of peril had descended upon him, causing his entire body to stiffen, while cold sweat poured down his back.
Shit!
Before he had a chance to do anything, he was forcibly dragged into the psychic world.
The first time Oni no Hanzou had made an assassination attempt on him, he hadn't even been aware that his psychic world had been invaded. However, this time, he could clearly sense that he had been dragged into the psychic world in an extremely forceful fashion.
He felt as if his soul had been sucked away by a pump, and he had been completely powerless to resist during the process.
Just how strong is this bitch?
Never had Adam felt anything like this before, and as soon as he arrived in the psychic world, he immediately caught sight of a figure approaching him from afar.
Even though Adam had arrived in the psychic world, he was still standing on the same street that he was situated on in the real world, which meant that his attacker was also nearby as they shared similar memories of the surrounding environment.
His assailant was none other than the elder sister of Oni no Miko and the true user of Yamata no Orochi, Hebi no Miko.
Even from afar, Adam could see that Hebi no Miko was virtually identical in appearance to Oni no Miko.
However, she gave off a completely different aura compared with her deceased sister. Oni no Miko gave off a sense of mystery, and she was capable of invoking the Hyakki Yagyou and the shikigami, as well as using destructive arrows to launch long-range attacks against her targets. Overall, she was like an evil witch.
In contrast, from the very first moment Adam laid eyes on Hebi no Miko, he could tell that she was the very embodiment of destruction.
Seeing her was like witnessing a nuclear explosion, and it seemed that wherever she went, destruction and carnage were sure to follow.
In the face of such a fearsome opponent, Adam knew that he had no chance whatsoever, and he immediately concealed himself and attempted to flee.
In his Clown form, Adam was extremely fast, and after concealing himself, it didn't take him long to rush out of this street. However, right as he was preparing to run for his life, a gust of fierce wind suddenly blew past him, following which a blur flashed before his eyes, and he was sent flying back through the air.
Only after that did he hear the sound of a sonic boom.
What the hell is she? A super saiyan?
Following the sound of the sonic boom was the sound of all of Adam's bones shattering at once, and he immediately threw up a mouthful of blood that was intermingled with fragments of his internal organs.
