For a moment, it seemed like the world around Adam had changed—it became slower, and then it stopped altogether. His heartbeat accelerated, and the unease in his chest intensified. It felt like he had suddenly become exposed, and his thoughts could be read as if they were an open book.
Space seemed to warp, becoming blurry and wavy, as if reality were melting under the influence of an unknown force.
Leonid, Alexander, Vanessa, Angela, and Lily... Their appearance suddenly turned into a white light that inflicted countless burns all over Adam's body.
"How unpleasant..." he muttered irritably, but there was something strange about him. It was as if he weren't Adam anymore. "How long are you gonna stare at my heir, you bitch in heat? Your vagina hasn't felt the warmth of a man's cock in a long time? Find someone else. I'm sure there are plenty of gods in the world ready to stick their dick in you, #!%!...."
Adam's voice was filled with irritation, anger, and mockery. Insults directed at an unknown person, whose name couldn't be heard due to the noise acting as a form of censorship, made it impossible to discern the identity of the opponent.
It seemed like his words only fueled the rage of the unknown opponent. Along with that, the light became even brighter, and Adam's clothes began to burn due to the high temperature. However, when the flashes of light were just millimeters away from his skin, a sudden snarl echoed.
"You forgot that I can also unleash my power."
With these words, full of rage and mockery, a loud explosion followed, and the flashes of light suddenly turned dark violet. Adam's skin turned as black as pitch, and his demonic wings unfolded, but only halfway. Something prevented them from fully extending.
Adam smiled and looked around, realizing that he was inside a semi-transparent cube, acting as a barrier, measuring 5 square meters.
"Absolute Cube... annoying spell. Somehow, it seems you're seeking revenge on me," Adam said with a smirk. "In the past, I trapped you in something similar for five thousand years, and from time to time, I tormented you by sending demons to cut you every second, tormenting you with miasma..."
Adam grinned and displayed a wide smile, so wide that even the Cheshire Cat would want to shake his hand. "Oh... damn, these memories bring me so much joy. Your cries of agony – a beautiful symphony!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Three subsequent light explosions threatened to turn Adam's body into mincemeat, but he easily dodged them and casually waved his hand, causing the space to tremble and cracks to appear on the surface of the cube, hinting at its destruction.
Looking up at the sky, Adam smiled upon seeing a gigantic face that covered the entire sky. It was a female face, but the features were blurred, making it impossible to fully comprehend whether it was beautiful or not.
"So, you're alive #%#$... and it seems you've learned this trick too. Tsk, tsk," Adam remarked. Suddenly, the face smiled, a malevolent grin that didn't quite match the radiant aura around her. "You filthy pig. You and your race of demons are nothing but dirt in world history. Why don't you just disappear?"
"That's impossible. You and the other gods are nothing more than pitiful parodies of the original gods. So to speak, assistants." Adam smiled and cracked his neck, openly displaying his contempt. "Who would have thought that even you would become as arrogant as the other gods... It's a pity. You used to call me 'darling'".
"SHUT UP!"historical
The Goddess of Light screamed hysterically with a piercing and terrifying voice, but it only intensified the smirk on Adam's face as he stared at her.
At the same time, his magical energy pierced the barrier, creating a small hole that grew larger with each passing second. However, the enraged goddess didn't notice this, and her distorted, anger-filled voice seemed to be more directed at herself than at Adam.
"How dare you lie to a goddess's face! How dare you speak such contemptuous words!" The goddess's face suddenly contorted, and then she cried out, "DIRTY DEMON!"
Crack.
With the goddess's scream, trying to convince herself more than Adam, the barrier shattered into pieces, and the voices of their conversation seeped inside. Adam smiled and, turning around, swiftly passed through the hole in the barrier and then cast an unknown spell.
His eyes narrowed to slits, and his demonic form returned to its usual state. However, in the space where he had been trapped – a different dimension – a black sphere suddenly appeared, growing larger by the second.
"What?!" An astonished cry sounded behind him, but he happily ignored it.
BOOM-
Before the loud explosion, the space disappeared and closed, but Adam, or rather, the entity inside him, couldn't help but savor the surprised expression on the goddess's face.
"Adam?" A male voice suddenly came from behind him, and turning around, the entity inside Adam saw Alexander.
Locking eyes with Adam, Alexander felt a shiver running down his spine, and it seemed as if his entire body was paralyzed. His formidable strength had seemingly disappeared, turning him from a mighty warrior into a pitiful creature.
"What is this? It's like I've gone back to the time when I, as a child, met a demon..." Alexander gasped, but as he began to think, the feeling disappeared. "What the hell?"
***
Alexander and the others were baffled when Adam simply bid them farewell and went to his room, this time not to see the queen. He closed the door and fell to his knees, clutching his throat. His entire body seemed to be burning with pain, and his heart raced faster as a wave of horror and strange satisfaction washed over him.
"Aaargh!"
A loud cry of pain tore from his throat as the excruciating agony intensified. Heat, cold, sharp pain, and weakness – these were the sensations that suddenly overtook him when he regained control of his body.
"What the hell?! Damn it, what is this?!"
"AAAAAAAH!"
Crack. Crack.
Suddenly, a sound rang out, as if something had broken. Adam was horrified to discover that every bone in his body had turned to dust. His demon regeneration couldn't keep up with the wounds, and the excruciating pain was driving him insane.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
***
Ten hours of agonizing pain later.
Outside the window, the stars shone brightly, as did the moon. On the floor of one of the luxurious rooms in the mansion lay a man with long black hair.
It was Adam. The one who had lost consciousness more than fifty times had finally managed to deal with the pain and was now lying on the floor, catching his breath. Although the excruciating pain hadn't completely subsided, it was diminishing with each passing second, which was a relief to him. His mind was filled with many thoughts, but he couldn't string them together.
"What is this..."
He furrowed his brow and suddenly coughed up blood, but he didn't pay it much mind. His body was slowly regenerating, accompanied by an unpleasant itching sensation that was easily ignored amidst the more agonizing pain.
"Something's not right. Something is not right. Fuck! Why did I attract the attention of the goddess? Was it because I used the spell on that guy? Or is it because of that entity living inside me?"
Adam pondered, tormented by the fact that he couldn't find an answer. "I don't understand. I don't understand anything. Ugh... It's all too complicated. I need to consult with Amarantha."
Adam made an effort to keep himself composed, refusing to succumb to panic. Furthermore, his sin, the sin of Pride, helped him maintain his composure. With strengthened resolve, he sighed and regained his composure.
"Calm down, just stay calm. Panic won't help in this situation, and it never will. I need to think with a clear head, but for now, my immediate task is to recover."
Adam turned his head and closed his eyes, whispering an incantation. The amulet of Amarantha, attached to his belt, lit up and floated into the air. Soon, it started flashing, indicating that the connection had been established.
"My love~? What happened, dear? Do you miss me?" Amarantha's voice flowed in, seductive and alluring.
"Amarantha, I'm wounded. I need your help, so come to me as quickly as possible.
...
Amarantha remained silent, causing Adam to grow anxious. Suddenly, he heard a loud explosion. Turning his head towards the window, he found her...
Height at 6 feet 3 inches, black hair flowing to the floor. Long, pointed ears, two demonic wings on her back, and a demonic tail with a heart-shaped tip. She was beautiful, incredibly beautiful, and equally seductive.
"Amarantha? It's you?"
However, even though she had changed her appearance, Adam could still recognize her and smile gently. Yet, he felt a pang of guilt upon seeing her tearful face.
He felt pain... pain worse than what he had endured for the past five hours.
"My love.. Adam."
Her voice had also changed, becoming even more seductive. It seemed like his entire body was yearning to submit to her, and his heart burned with a desire to care for her. However, that feeling soon faded when Amarantha rushed to him and took out a potion from her backpack, worry etched across her face.
"Don't worry, I'll heal you".
