Chapter 277: Pausing Memories

Adam\'s lackluster offensive prowess was being exposed again.

Thankfully, he was well aware of his own limitations, and he never planned to kill the anomaly on his own. It didn\'t take long before the ground beneath his feet began to tremble and rumble, and he knew that Sludge, the true star of the show, had arrived.

As soon as it arrived on the scene, it immediately charged into the barrage of attacks being unleashed by Adam\'s clones before stomping a massive foot down onto the spider anomaly.

The anomaly tried to dodge the attack, but Adam didn\'t allow it to do so.

His explosives were very limited in their effectiveness against the anomaly, but he was able to disrupt the anomaly\'s movements with the shockwaves from the explosions.

Thus, the anomaly was cornered by Adam\'s attacks, and Sludge was able to stomp its foot forcefully down onto its body.

Sludge\'s bodyweight of over 10 tons came crashing down, enhanced by its enormous strength, causing the spider anomaly\'s body to creak and groan as if it were about to fall apart at the seams, and that wasn\'t the end of Sludge\'s assault.

After stomping the anomaly into the ground, Sludge bent over and began to tear at the anomaly violently with its powerful arms.

Sludge was a very simple anomaly.

Even though it was a high-level anomaly, it barely possessed any abilities, and in a gaming sense, it could be said that it had invested all of its stat points into attack and defense.

Its strength and destructive capabilities had already reached Diamond\'s level, and as it tugged on its opponent\'s body, the anomaly\'s skin and bones were struggling to hold themselves together.

Adam certainly wasn\'t going to pass up this opportunity. He immediately instructed his clones to swarm the anomaly before stabbing it repeatedly with their daggers.

Originally, the daggers wouldn\'t have been able to pierce through its skin, but the resilient protective layer over its body had already been torn apart in many places by Sludge, thereby allowing the daggers to plunge into its body.

At the same time, Shae was also eager to enter the fray. The cavernous mouth of her larger wolf head sprang open before sinking its fangs viciously into the anomaly\'s body.

The sharp fangs coupled with the incredible bite force produced a combination that culminated in superior individual destructive power than Adam\'s, and a large chunk of flesh was instantly torn out of the anomaly\'s abdomen.

Adam was ecstatic to see this, and he hurriedly stuffed a bunch of grenades into the wound before it could heal.

"Get back!"

The grenades were detonated after Shae had retreated to a safe distance away, and the resulting explosion blew close to half of the anomaly\'s body wide open.

As a result, the anomaly was finally unable to resist Sludge any longer, and its body was torn into two.

Sludge slammed the two halves of the anomaly\'s body onto the ground before continuing the pummel it ferociously, but without the hindrance posed by Adam\'s long-range firepower output, the severely wounded spider anomaly was temporarily able to free itself before jumping straight into the lake.

"Don\'t let it get away!"

Adam and Sluge jumped into the lake in unison.

The lake wasn\'t very deep, with water that was only around four to five meters in depth, and it wasn\'t even enough to completely submerge Sludge.

Adam ducked his head beneath the surface and began to search for the anomaly.

The water in the lake wasn\'t very clear, and visibility was further negatively impacted by the algae growing on the lakebed, but fortunately, Adam had a whole host of clones to assist him in his search, and it didn\'t take long for one of the clones to spot a trail of blood, which it followed to the anomaly.

However, at this point, the two halves of its body had already fused back together, and it had found a third jar in a gap between some rocks on the lakebed.

By the time Adam spotted it, it had already smashed the jar and installed the head inside onto its body.

As soon as the third head was installed, a small vortex began to appear around it, and its body also became longer and sleeker. At the same time, strange black spots began to appear over its skin.

The anomaly then rushed directly at the nearest of Adam\'s clones, and all the clone saw was a blur flash before its eyes. Before it had a chance to react, the anomaly had already arrived directly in front of it, then grabbed onto it with its eight legs before tearing its body to shreds.

With the clone out of the way, the anomaly immediately swam up to the surface of the lake.

Adam could see everything that his clones saw, and after that clone was destroyed, he quickly rose to the surface before ordering Sludge to go after the spider anomaly.

However, this time, Sludge was left well and truly in the dust.

After absorbing its third head, the anomaly had become extraordinarily fast, so fast that it was able to run on water, leaving a trail of afterimages in its wake.

At this point, the anomaly had already become far too fast for either Adam or Shae to chase down.

"What do we do?"

"We\'ve alerted the anomaly to our presence, so we\'ve already made things quite difficult for ourselves. None of us are capable of chasing down such a fast anomaly."

Not only was the anomaly far faster than Adam and his anomalies, it had already been spooked by this initial attack, so it was going to be next to impossible to catch.

"What\'s even more a problem is that now that it knows it\'s in danger, it\'ll definitely go and search for its other heads. If it manages to collect all seven of its heads, we won\'t have any chance against it."

"So what do we do now?"

Adam considered the question momentarily, thinking back to his experience dealing with Sithu, then replied, "Let\'s get out of here and put an end to this timeline."

"What do you mean?"

Shae was rather perplexed by this answer. How were they supposed to put an end to a timeline in the psychic world?

"Let\'s get out of here first."

Adam departed from Sima Kai\'s psychic world as he spoke, and Shae quickly followed suit.

As soon as Adam opened his eyes in the real world, he immediately made his way over to Sima Kai\'s side.

He was nowhere near as healthy as Dwight, so he was still unconscious, and before he returned to his senses, Adam struck him with a few blows on the neck and on the head.

"What are you doing?"

"I\'m knocking him out," Adam replied. "I haven\'t received any training, so I don\'t know where to strike to knock someone out, which is why I gave him a few hits just to make sure he\'s knocked out."

"Why would you... Oh, I get it!" An enlightened look appeared on Shae\'s face. "This is what you meant by putting an end to the timeline!"

In a sense, Sima Kai\'s psychic world was also the world of his memories.

In contrast with the average mentally ill individual, he was like Sithu and Shaun in that their psychic bodies had already fused as one with their anomalies, so they were essentially one and the same.

In contrast, someone like Dwight was only affected by his anomaly during periods in which he was afflicted by his condition, but the majority of the time, he was no different from the average person.

However, the same didn\'t apply to Sima Kai. Even when he appeared to be "normal", he was still constantly appraising other people\'s heads, which meant that he was constantly in an abnormal state, which made him a complete and utter psycho, rather than someone who only occasionally suffered from their mental condition.

In Sithu\'s case, Adam had no prior experience in dealing with psychos like him, so he had carelessly allowed Sithu to hear some of his plans in the real world. As a result, as soon as he entered Sithu\'s psychic world, he was immediately ambushed by a bunch of anomalies.

This time, not only was he not going to make the same mistake, he was going to use the experience that he had gained from dealing with Sithu against Sima Kai.
