The villainess shall be mine

193 The Corruption (Part 2)

Rumble! The entire structure trembled, and the walls began to change positions.

The Holy Mother knew what was happening, so she wasn't surprised, and neither was the Emperor.

The room had turned into an elevator, rising to the top of the tower, causing the entire building to change shape.

"So, how are you feeling now that you've come this far?" The Emperor suddenly asked a question.

The Holy Mother found his question quite unexpected, even suspicious."…What do you mean?" It was not the time or the place to ask such a question, she thought.

"I was just curious. Do you really not feel any personal satisfaction from this achievement?" The Emperor clarified.

"Pointless question," the Holy Mother answered, ignoring the Emperor's exasperating attitude.

Rumble! The ceiling above them opened like a flower blooming, revealing the dark black orb above.

After that, the device in which Neige was kept activated. Her hands and legs were attached to something that looked like a cross, and several cables were plugged into her back, causing her skin to bleed profusely.

Blood came out of her eyes like tears. She was literally crying blood.

"Are you really sure that this would work?" The Emperor asked another question. He talked in a very playful tone, almost as if he didn't care about what was happening at all.

"How can it fail?" The only Mother responded with another question.

"I don't know. Maybe that Adam would interfere?" The Emperor speculated, looking at the whole Empire from the tallest structure ever built.

"What are you trying to say?" The Holy Mother didn't understand the Emperor's unusual questions and behavior.

"If it fails, would your God help? You are doing this for his sake right?"

"I would not fail." The Holy Mother didn't fall into the Emperor's trap and didn't show any reaction.

"I wish I had a bit of that confidence of yours," The Emperor said. However, from what he could tell, this God couldn't interfere directly with the material world. He didn't know the reason, but going their way to ask a woman to create a religious organization and use the body of a young girl as a vessel wasn't really something a God would do. It sounded more like something a Demon would do.

"…" The Holy Mother didn't anything and just continued to observe the sky.

The black orbs gathered into a single big one, and once that was done, the next process would begin.

Just a little longer, a little longer and she would learn the truth about the world. She would witness the birth of a God into this world.

However, the Emperor's behavior was a bit worrying. She knew that he would be disposed of at the end of the ritual, but it would be a hassle if he interfered now.

She never let her guard down when she was around this man. He was useful but too unstable and unpredictable.

"You seem too interested in this boy. Why don't you take care of him?" The Holy Mother said.

"Yeah, I was thinking about doing that," the Emperor said, agreeing with the Holy Mother almost immediately.

The Holy intended to lead the Emperor to reveal his true motives, but instead, he immediately agreed to take care of Adam. This made her feel warier.

"…"

She watched the Emperor disappearing somewhere in silence.

*****

The wind blew against Adam's face as he rushed toward the direction of the Holy Church.

He had to stop everything before the situation became more problematic than it already was.

Shoosh! Something came rushing at Adam at an incredible speed. Adam narrowed his eyes and saw five being wearing dark cloaks.

"Puppets again?" Adam didn't stop and continued to advance toward the mysterious figures.

The five figures stopped in front of him. "So we meet again. Did you kill Drakel? That's quite unfortunate. He was pretty useful.

"…" Adam didn't answer, knowing that it was the Emperor, trying to prevent him from reaching the tower. His attempt was useless though. He couldn't stop Adam with these puppets.

"I know what you are thinking even if I can't read your thoughts. You think that it's useless, right? But I didn't show all of my cards yet."

Once Adam heard that the Emperor had still hidden tricks, he began to increase his sense of awareness, just in case he used some kind of sneak attack. However, Adam's body was coated with Antimatter so it was not like anything would work on him… Well, at least something material.

However, he just had to disintegrate these puppets and that would be it…

"Huh?!" But before he knew it, his arm that was holding Zax's head was severed again… It could have been his whole body if didn't avoid the attack. "Zax!"

What did the Emperor do? It was just a swing of a sword.

"Hahaha! You didn't expect that right?"

The five figures finally revealed themselves. Their body was not made of flesh but of bright silver material. All of them were holding swords that were made of the same material.

"Are you curious? These are my ultimate trumps cards. The God Killers!"

Adam used his power to prevent Zax from falling by making a flat black rectangle appear below the container.

The five silver men surrounded Adam from all directions, but Adam used his power to create a wall of black flame that appeared around him, engulfing all of them.

He also rushed down and grabbed Zax.

Swoosh! The silver men were unscathed. And proceeded to come at Adam.

"Tch!" Adam clicked his tongue at the sight of them, feeling that even the Antimatter couldn't deal with them. In that case, only the Destruction authority would work against them.

However, there was a huge time gap of time before in between the activation of the authority.

Even if only one of the silver men were capable of avoiding his attack, and using that lapse of time to attack, it would be bad.

But what is this material that could not converge and could not control with Creation authority? No, it wasn't that he couldn't. He didn't fulfill all of the conditions to be able to do so. After all, he didn't know what kind of matter it was. How it was formed and what were its characteristics?

Swoosh! This was a pain. Adam avoided all attacks one after one, but the silver men didn't slow down at all.

Adam reached his hand, and something formed in front of him. A matter that was heavier than a black hole—the Voidium.

This time, he used Voidium to hold them down, by enveloping them inside, but for some reason, there were still able to move.

However, the Voidium fell to down bringing the silver men with it.

Boom! The surface of the ground was easily torn open by the weight of the Voidium and the whole planet moved due to the impact.

But soon, more silver men Apple ear. Twenty, then fifty, then hundreds…

"How many years do you think it took for me to build the Empire? Do you think that I wouldn't think about the appearance of someone like you? I even prepared to fight against the Gods."

Adam didn't even know which of the silver men talked, but it looked like they were all controlled by the Emperor.

It was not that their body was as destructive as the antimatter. It was just very tough. A material that the Antimatter could not dissolve instantly. Something that was built from antimatter. Something similar to the Darkmatter.

Hundreds of silver men holding silver swords rushed at Adam. All of them seemed to be not restrained by the law of gravity.

"Ora! What are you doing? Where did all of those big talk go?"

Adam continued to avoid the attacks but he didn't look like he was panicking at all.

Then…

A surge of power!

Boom!

Adam used the most destructive power of the light and fire elements. Something closely similar to instant combustion produced by the sun.

The heat was so intense that almost a large part surface of the panet was affected. That would roughly equal to a few hundreds of Earths, considering the size of the planet.

Adam had learned about everything related to nuclear power. Imitating it was something he couldn't do before, but now that he could converge the particles in his surrounding into atoms and molecules that he could control, he could also create all of the conditions for a supernova to happen. He could even create a black hole after all.

Even if the silver men were indestructible, they could melt, and the control that the Emperor had on them could also be forcefully cut.

"…" Adam looked at his surrounding, and only the huge tower was still standing. It looked like it was protected by the black particle, yet another unidentified matter.

Still, Adam used more energy than he intended to. Then, not wanting to waste any more time, he headed towards the toward.

He felt like things wouldn't be easy after all. The Emperor was a very powerful foe despite being a human, he acknowledged.
