Chapter 411: The Goddess and the Angel

Low-level anomalies that hadn't fused with their hosts could still be cleansed.

All those who harbored low-level anomalies in their psychic worlds would be constantly tormented, and once the anomaly reached a certain level, it could even drive its host to suicide, as evidenced in the cases of Li Qi and many others.

However, high-level anomalies would've already fused as one with their hosts, so those hosts weren't tormented by their anomalies anymore, but they would become completely deranged and demented.

Every single person that had fused with their anomalies, whether it be Noah, Raven, or those people at the cannibal club, all of them exhibited strange behavior in one way or another.

These were things that Adam had discovered through his countless battles, but the Psychic Church had been aware of these things for a long time.

The Psychic Church had a huge number of members, and many of the low and mid-level members were quite lazy and uninspired, but its top-level members, particularly the 12 bishops, were all extremely capable and powerful individuals, so it was no surprise that Renee had spotted the problem right away.

"You must have some type of ulterior motive," Renee remarked, but she still didn't care to pry or ask questions.

She was here to return a favor, and she didn't care about anything not related to that.

Refraining from sticking her nose into unnecessary business was one of the keys to a happy life.

As soon as the angel of death emerged, it immediately engaged Renee in battle, while Adam watched from the sidelines.

He wanted to see just how powerful one of the Psychic Church's 12 bishops was.

Among the general public, the 12 bishops were considered to be the most powerful adapters.

Other top-tier adapters such as Hebi no Miko, Sadou, Mr. One, and Madam Tree were all relatively unknown to the general public and even to ordinary adapters, so the 12 bishops were widely considered to be the most powerful adapters in existence.

After its first attack was kept at bay, the angel of death unleashed a consecutive string of attacks against Renee, swinging its morning star mace at her over and over again, but all of its attacks were nullified by the magical power around Renee.

Adam had experienced the angel's physical prowess firsthand, and he knew that it was capable of even smashing half of Sludge's body into pieces with a single strike of its mace, so the fact that Renee was able to ward off consecutive attacks from the angel was a clear indication that she was quite a powerful adapter in her own right.

However, her other abilities seemed to have been far more mediocre.

After warding off the angel's attacks, she began to retaliate using her fairytale magic light beams, but the attacks weren't very powerful at all, and it seemed that she couldn't even match up to Diana in terms of pure offensive prowess.

Adam was rather perplexed to see this, but he displayed no intention of helping her.

However, May wasn't willing to stand around and watch any longer, and she had already fired an arrow as Renee unleashed her second wave of attacks.

The first arrow was her green arrow.

As soon as it was fired, it transformed into a vast storm of arrows, all of which were glowing with bright green light, and they were able to pierce straight through the angel's body.

Adam had witnessed May's offensive prowess in the past, so he was aware of just how formidable she was.

During their battle against Hebi no Miko, May possessed sufficient offensive prowess to pierce through Yamata no Orochi's defenses with ease, while both Wax Figure and Diana had struggled immensely to do the same.

The angel of death was far inferior to Yamata no Oroch, both in terms of size and defensive capabilities, so its body was naturally pierced through with ease.

If I recall correctly, these green arrows have a binding effect as well.

Sure enough, right as this thought sprang into Adam's mind, the green arrow that had plunged into the angel's body began to transform into blood-sucking vines, sucking its blood as sustenance to fuel its rapid growth.

The growth process was extraordinarily rapid, and within the span of just a few seconds, the angel had been completely enveloped by vines.

It struggled and thrashed violently, unleashing eruptions of holy light to try and tear the vines apart, but before it had a chance to break free, May's golden arrow had already arrived.

The golden arrow was capable of unleashing an even more powerful wide-scale attack, and it transformed into a storm of golden arrows that instantly reduced the angel to a golden porcupine. With just two arrows, May had managed to inflict severe injuries upon the angel.

It looks like Diana is still nowhere near as powerful as May, even after her training with Sadou.

At this point, Adam was still observing the battle. He had redeemed a favor to recruit these two, so he wasn't going to get involved in the battle unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, a thought then suddenly occurred to Adam, and he yelled to May, "Look out, it's about to retaliate! It has some type of strange law-based ability."

"What do you mean by that?" May asked, but before Adam had a chance to answer, a scale had already flown out of the angel's body.

The scale flew up into the sky, then began to pass judgment down upon May.

Her pain and her happiness were both drawn to the scale to be weighed up on opposite ends, and the angel spread its arms open as the scale began to tilt.

"You're a sharp and ambitious person. It seems that the pain that you've endured far outweighs the happiness you've experienced."

Adam didn't know much about May's past. All he knew was that she was an intelligent and capable woman who had climbed up from the bottom.

It seemed that her life was also one that had been filled with hardships, as evidenced by the tilting of the scale.

The fact that her pain outweighed her happiness essentially granted the angel the right to pass judgment on her.

"If one has experienced more pain than happiness in their life, then putting an end to their life would be an act of kindness."

The angel's booming voice reverberated through the air above the retirement home, and as the scale completely tilted to one side, May's body began to quickly wither away.

She struggled with all her might, but there was no hope for her to ward off a law-based attack like this one, and her life force was rapidly receding.

Adam immediately invoked Distortion upon seeing this, instructing it to latch onto the angel from behind to disrupt its ability.

He knew that even though May's psychic body possessed tremendous offensive prowess, its defenses were actually quite frail. She wasn't as durable as Diana, nor did she possess an undying body like Wax Figure. Essentially, she was like a massively upgraded version of Camera, possessing far superior offensive prowess compared to her defensive capabilities, and she had almost been killed by Hebi no Miko during their previous battle.

In just a few seconds, May's skin had become riddled with wrinkles, and it was clear that she wasn't going to be able to last much longer at this rate.

Thankfully, Renee arrived on the scene right in the nick of time, using her magical powers to cut off the angel's attack.

Adam took advantage of this opportunity to spring up into the air and catch her before lowering her out of the sky.

"How is this thing so powerful?" May exclaimed with a hint of lingering fear in her eyes.

"It's not necessarily more powerful than you are, it's just that you're susceptible to its abilities because of your past experiences. That's why I told you to recruit someone who's lived a happy life, but it seems like she's really going to be able to do much."

"Don't count her out yet, Renee has her own abilities," May reassured in a confident voice.
