Chapter 284: Evolution

As soon as the mass of flesh found the head, it immediately tried to attach the head to itself, only to be abruptly pinned down by one of Armadillo's paws.

The entire area had completely caved in, but for Armadillo, this was the perfect environment for him to display his powers. After the mass of flesh was pinned down, yellow sand began to surge around it and the head, and it didn't take long before all of the life force in them was sucked away. The yellow sand had turned bright red, while the head and the mass of flesh had been completely mummified.

With just a gentle pinch from Armadillo's claws, the mummified head and flesh were reduced to dust.

After that, Armadillo continued to traverse through the collapsed cavern without pause, tracking down the heads and the pieces of the anomaly's body before destroying them one by one.

In its fully formed state, the anomaly possessed incredible physical resistance, but now that its body had been reduced to pieces, it was in an extremely vulnerable state, and it didn't take long for Armadillo to put an end to its life.

Even from afar, Adam could already sense the aura of anomalic power, and at the same time Armadillo yelled out to everyone.

"All done! Are you all dead?"

"What kind of question is that, you idiot? You should be asking if everyone's still alive!" Mole's voice immediately rang out in protest. "Rabbit, Adam, how're you two doing?"

"I'm fine..."

"I'm about to die if I stay here any longer, so I'm leaving now."

Rabbit's voice was so feeble that it was barely audible, and she exited the psychic world immediately thereafter.

"Are you alright, Shae?"

"I'm alright..."

Shae's voice was also quite feeble, but it sounded like she was in better condition than Rabbit.

After ensuring that everyone was alive, Adam was eager to pounce on the spoils of war.



"Dig me out, Armadillo! The anomalic power is going to disappear soon!"

All of a sudden, Armadillo's head poked out of a rock directly in front of Adam, and he asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Dig a tunnel for me so I can reach the spot where the anomaly died."

.

"Alright, I'm on it."

Armadillo used his sharp claws to dig through the rocks, creating a tunnel for Adam to crawl through.

Adam ducked down and squeezed his way into the tunnel, then carefully made his way to the center of the cavern, where the mass of anomalic power was located.

This was the anomalic power of what Adam estimated to be a level seven anomaly, and in the face of such a massive offering, Adam didn't know where to start.

I have to plan things out first.

The anomalic power from a level seven anomalic was enough to allow him to undergo a complete transformation, and in Adam's eyes, it was most likely the case that no single anomaly of his would be able to completely digest such an enormous amount of power.

He had encountered a situation like this once before, following the battle against the scarecrow anomaly. Back then, his two anomalies had been completely unable to digest the anomalic power left behind by Scarecrow.

Even now, Adam still sorely regretted that wasted opportunity.

However, he wasn't going to let this anomalic power go to waste on this occasion. Not only was he not going to let it go to waste, it most likely wasn't going to be enough.

There were too many anomalies that he needed to evolve, with the first of them being Sludge, which was his number one answer against Hebi no Miko.

He also wanted to evolve Distortion, which he had always regarded as the one with the most potential out of all of the anomalies in his possession.

He wanted to evolve Camera to make up for his shortcomings in offensive prowess.

Of course, Hellhound also had to be evolved as it had the best compatibility with Shae, and he desperately needed a sane helper like her.

Just these anomalies alone were most likely going to use up all of the anomalic power here, so all of the others, including Nun, Mummy, and Two-face, would all have to take a backseat.

It's a pity that I can't absorb this myself.

If he could absorb the anomalic power himself, then there would naturally be no need to think about distribution. After some careful consideration, Adam decided to allow Sludge to have the first go.

"Armadillo, help me clear out this area."

Armadillo did as he was instructed, reducing the surrounding rocks to sand to open up a small area. In the meantime, Adam was instructing the rock fragments that formed Sludge's body to reform and fuse back together.

Around two minutes later, Sludge appeared in the area that Armadillo had opened up, slightly huddled over due to the space constraints.

"Eat as much as you can." n0vεLuSB.C0M

Due to the threat of Hebi no Miko, Sludge's development was always Adam's top priority, both for the sake of his own safety and the protection of his companions.

Anomalies desired anomalic power just as much as any drug addict desired their drug of choice, and Sludge immediately pounced onto the mass of anomalic power without even requiring an instruction from Adam.

"Take it easy, you idiot! You're gonna cause the cavern to collapse again!" Armadillo complained as he continued to hollow out the area.

Unfortunately, a second cave-in was unavoidable due to Sludge's evolution.

Its body expanded even further, and it forced its way through the fragile rock structure up above to cause another cave-in.

Thankfully, Sludge's strength had also been enhanced as a result of its evolution, so it was able to single-handedly support the entire roof and prevent it from collapsing onto everyone.

After completing its evolution, Sludge's height had swelled all the way to eight meters, and its entire body had also become significantly thicker and sturdier. It stood as tall as a three-story building, and at this point, it was well and truly a giant.

Aside from an increase in size, Sludge didn't display any other significant changes in its physical appearance. The only other chance was that the coloration of its body had turned from black to a faint shade of purple.

"You're only going to evolve once? Keep going!"

The majority of the spider anomaly's anomalic power still remained, and Adam was urging Sludge to continue dining on the feast, but it seemed to be completely full. Just a moment ago, it had been gulping down the anomalic power like a starving wolf, but now, it couldn't even be bothered to take a second glance at the enormous feast laid out before it.

There was no way for Adam to force-feed Sludge, so he could only move onto the next anomaly, and after some thought, he decided to go with Hellhound.

After all, it was very important for him to have a capable helper on his side.

"Armadillo, I need..."

"You want Shae, right? I've already opened up a tunnel to her. I'll bring her over to you."

Adam watched as Armadillo departed with a peculiar look in his eyes.

In his eyes, Armadillo was the most intelligent of the three psychic mutants. Of course, he still didn't think like a normal person did, but that was only in terms of his logic. For example, the average person wouldn't be so passionate about protecting animals that they were willing to kill others to avenge animals.

Furthermore, he shared the closest bond with Adam out of the three psychic mutants. He was always willing to lend Adam money and speak up for him whenever Rabbit and Mole voiced their complaints about him. Through Armadillo, Adam was reminded of Hook and Nie Yiyi.
