Chapter 414: Mass Evolution
Among Adam's level six anomalies, Clown was the first one to evolve.
Following its evolution, it bore a stronger resemblance to the clown seen on joker cards. It was wearing a strange hat matched with peculiar attire, and not only had its expression become even more snide and cunning, its body had also taken on a rather unrealistic quality, making it resemble an overlapping combination of the two joker cards, with one in color, while the other was in greyscale.
Through their psychic connection, Adam knew that the current Clown was able to switch between a substantial form and an insubstantial one at will, and it had also attained more abilities, while its existing ones had become more potent.
Of course, aside from the upgrade in its appearance and abilities, it had also received a comprehensive improvement in all of its base attributes, such as speed, strength, defensive prowess, and regenerative ability.
The next one to evolve was Ogress.
This was an anomaly that had never been all that strong in battle, but Adam had evolved it to level five while in prison, primarily for its versatility.
Ogress's abilities leaned more toward reconnaissance, and it was able to conceal itself, transform into anyone, and cover its own tracks very effectively.
Up to this point, Adam had never truly used this anomaly, but he knew that on an unpredictable psychic battlefield, an anomaly like this was most definitely invaluable.
Following its evolution, Ogress's physical form also underwent a change, giving it a closer resemblance to ogresses seen in mythical stories, and its concealment abilities had also been enhanced.
It had become completely silent and formless, like an air current, and even with Adam's current level of telegnosis, he was unable to pinpoint its exact location.
The third one to evolve was Camera. There wasn't much of a change in its physical appearance, except that its legs had grown longer, and they were constantly vibrating at an ultra-high speed, much like the blades of a high-speed vibrational cutter.
However, at the same time, its attributes were only becoming more skewed.
Even as a level six anomaly, its latest evolution hadn't increased its defensive capabilities at all, but its offensive prowess had clearly been further enhanced, and given the right opportunity, it would be able to severely wound an opponent several levels above it.
If Adam had been willing to sacrifice Camera to land a blow on the angel of death, then it would've definitely been able to slice through its defenses.
The main reason why Camera hadn't had much of a chance to shine was that Adam was very reluctant to use it. The opponents that he was facing were becoming more and more powerful, and any one of them had the ability to kill Camera in a single blow. Camera had already perished once before, so if it were to die again, then it would be permanently gone.
Hence, Adam could only use it as a trump card.
After Camera's evolution, the three level five anomalies, Mummy, Nun, and Hellhound, evolved at virtually the exact same time.
Following this latest evolution, Mummy was finally beginning to take on a mythical appearance. Its bandages had turned red, and there were ancient cyberglyphs inscribed upon them. Its body represented the boundless pain that it had experienced, and this pain was constantly writhing, sealed within the bandages, unable to to be released.
Just the mere sight of its writing and squirming body struck the beholder with a sense of pain.
Furthermore, its defenses had improved even further, but not in the same way as Sludge's defenses.
Previously, the main difference between Mummy and Sludge was the former possessed tremendous defensive prowess, while the latter possessed superior self-regenerative abilities.
Essentially, both of them were tanks, but one had a higher defense stat, while the other had superior HP and recovery. There was a difference, but it wasn't that pronounced. The former was more proficient at dominating lower level opponents, while the latter had a better chance at survival against higher level opponents.
However, Adam could clearly sense that those cyberglyphs on Mummy's bandages had granted it superior technomantic resistance, thereby making it far superior to Sludge in this regard.
I wonder if this thing will be able to ward off Succubus Beth's abilities.
Adam was very pleased with this new ability of Mummy's as he seemed to have found a way to counter Succubus Beth.
After that came Nun, the anomaly that Adam had once almost perished to.
Nun was actually quite a well-rounded anomaly. It had great abilities, including the ability to possess others, and it was also very versatile in battle. If it weren't for the fact that Adam had to focus on self-preservation against Hebi no Miko, he would've chosen to prioritize Nun's development over Sludge's.
After evolving into a level six anomaly, Nun was even more terrifying in appearance.
Its dark eyes, terrifying features, and sharp teeth presented a contrasting sense of horror when juxtaposed with its nun uniform.
Its evolution didn't bring any new abilities, but its original abilities had improved significantly, and out of curiosity, Adam instructed it to unleash its Fountain of Contamination.
The black sewage gushed out of Nun's cavernous mouth, and as it left her mouth, the stream was only less than a meter in diameter, but as it descended, it rapidly expanded to form an enormous wave that inundated the entire retirement home, significantly eroding all of the buildings.
"Not bad!"
After Nun came Hellhound.
Its appearance also hadn't changed much, and it hadn't attained any new abilities, either, but its evolution had elevated all of its physical attributes, making it a much more effective physical brawler.
In the past, Hellhound had never been all that effective against opponents of a higher level than itself due to its relatively fragile body. It didn't dare to get close to powerful opponents, so it was unable to maximize its tremendous bite force.
Now that its body had become stronger, it was going to be far more effective in close-quarters combat.
Right as Adam was rejoicing over the gains that he had made, the psychic world around him began to collapse due to the demise of its host.
The sound of the collapsing began to ring out in the distance, and it wasn't going to take long before everything crumbled away.
Meanwhile, the most powerful anomalies in Adam's collection were still devouring the anomalic power on the ground, yet to undergo evolution.
"Hurry up!"
Finally, under Adam's urgent instructions, those anomalies completed their evolutions one after another.
Adam didn't have any more time to examine his newly evolved anomalies, and he took a glance at the little anomalic power that remained, then heaved a forlorn sigh before leaving the psychic world.
In the instant that he opened his eyes in the real world, he was greeted by the sight of Shae.
"How did it go?"
Adam merely nodded in response.
