Chapter 705 - Victor
"Adam, you lost." Jin Rou spoke as if victory was truly in his bag now. He looked at Adam filled with confidence and sureness that the other party had indeed lost the battle.
Adam didn't say anything but he searched his body for any anomalies. After which, his eyes widened as he felt his body losing life slowly. It was hurting like hell, but Adam didn't show it on his face.
"Thump! Thump!" After a few more minutes, Adam fell to the ground with a loud thud. He was trying to catch his breath as if the air here was very thin. He was perspirating like a flowing water from his body.
The spectators were stupefied to see this. What's goin on? Adam was having the lead a while ago, yet what was this turn of events? No one could understand what's going on.
Apparently, Grand Honor Dao Supreme answered their questions, who came out of nowhere, "That sword with clock machines embedded in it has the power to poison a body, something like taking away the years left of the victim."
"There's such a treasure like that?" Everyone was terrified. It's not any simple treasure with a poison, it could take away your remaining lifespan with a small wound! See, even Adam was barely hanging there.
Since the grand supreme thought of this, naturally the receiver of this poison, Adam, was also now aware. He tried to calm his breath and chuckled weakly, "Who would have thought that something like this can exist despite of the Twin Lunar Creation's limitations."
Adam didn't bother struggling to stand up. He knew his body well and what's going on with it. It was better to stay like this and strike a conversation.
"I told you, right? You have lost." Jin Rou smiled. Although his plans were risky, he was confident in pulling up the tricks as he had a great confidence in his power. The numerous battles he had honed him to be like this. Although it couldn't be compared to Adam who had fought battles with an uncountable number, Jin Rou was still experienced. Remember, he started cultivating since he was born and because of his astonishing talent, his parents and Feng Lin nurtured him to be who he was now.
"That's true, I have lost." Adam laughed softly. It looked like he already accepted the fact that he lost the battle and was going to die, "You are a great kid. To actually defeat me, it's a great feat."
"I'm just doing what I must. And for sure, you know that one way or another, you're going to be defeated." Jin Rou spoke casually. However, his guard was up as he couldn't afford to be careless. After all, it's Adam who he's facing against. Despite admitting loss, who knows what tricks he had in his arsenal?
"That kid.. Feng Lin." Adam remembered his eldest son, the most talented of the bunch, "He is truly a son of mine. Nurturing a person of your level, indeed that is how should my eldest son be."
Everyone gasped upon hearing this. This revelation was too much to take! So Feng Lin was Adam's son? Of course, there were a few that speculated this and wasn't surprised.
"Do you regret your actions now that you're facing death?" Jin Rou asked out of curiosity. Being at the top and alone, it must be lonely. He lost his wife, Eve, who protected the humanity by sacrificing her life. Adam also lost his sons because each of them rebelled against him. Jin Rou thought that it must be lonely to be there alone without someone to accompany you.
"Regret? I have never regretted this action mine. What I regret was I failed to stop Eve from protecting these human fools who only think about themselves." Adam sneered and looked at the faraway spectators. They all bowed their heads in shame, as they couldn't refute what Adam said, "Even in the end, they didn't repent and keep on killing each other for power. If these humans aren't fools, then what are they? Seeing them makes me destroy this world more."
Jin Rou sighed. Adam was right. Humans would never learn, they'd always fight for power to be at the top, to be the commanding voice and hand of many. Authority was greed, they said. And it seemed true to any world he visited.
If Jin Rou was in Adam's position, he might also lose his mind and think about destroying the whole world.
Every world and realm were filled with sinners and no one could control it unless power disappeared, unless authority was removed.
However, everyone knew it was impossible. It's a very wishful thinking. After all, the world could only survive if there was someone leading it, someone with power protecting it.
"Then you'll die with no regrets." Jin Rou smiled. Adam was a monster who killed countless innocent people to try and wipe this world out. If not for the seven laws, the Fate World must have disappeared for good now. And if he didn't come here, it would also spell destruction with no one to protect the world from Adam.
"I have no regrets. I'm going to meet Eve now, so what's there to regret of?" For Adam, death was also a relief. He couldn't kill himself because of a certain restriction and the only thing that could kill him was someone stronger than him. As a matter of fact, he was also a bit happy that he didn't have to destroy the world to lure powerful existences to try and kill him again.
Many have died in hands and his path was filled with numerous bones of all races. And the terrifying part was most of them were innocent.
Who knows if he could actually meet Eve?
After which, Jin Rou could see that Adam was slowly becoming light particles. It was the sign of his death and even Jin Rou couldn't do something about it.
"Ah, this cruel world... will be off me now." Adam gave a warm smile before disappearing. The light particles was carried by the wind above.. No one knew where it would take it.
