Adam had to admit that he felt a little nauseous this ti around, killing another human like this. The feeling of taking soone's life and witnessing it in bullet ti was simply too vivid for him to ignore.
'Ugh. I am definitely going to have nightmares after this.'
He stood up from above the dead body of his latest kill, only to feel his legs buckling under him but he managed to avoid falling on the ground by getting a hold of himself.
The skills he had just used were too ntally taxing for the current him. The strain on his mind intensified further since he had gone even higher than when he used it to kill the first sniper.
'Well, at least I found a new technique. Though I need to aliorate it and use it conservatively.'
By using all his skills together, he was able to create an incredible synergy that made him nearly equal to a top-grade homing device.
There were still many small problems with this technique, however. After all, using it in a fight without a way of distracting the opponent was simply impossible as it just took way too much ti to prepare and use on enemies.
Perhaps in the future when he increased the proficiency of his skills then this problem would cease to persist but until then, he would need to be conservative and precise in using this technique.
'Hey, is it possible to buy proficiency in a skill with the use of Karma?'
[No.]
It was a clear-cut answer as always. Adam frowned at the blatant show of disrespect before shaking his head with a sigh.
'The two of us need to have a discussion later.'
Genesis was very useful so he initially decided to put up with his way of acting.
But now, he realized that he had enough shit in his life already and didn't want to deal with a conscious entity in his mind that continued to act so belligerently toward him in every possible mont of their interaction.
Speaking of Genesis...
Adam willed the book to appear and opened it to check it out. He realized that the book had opened to form so words about his curse when he was dying earlier and he was eager to know what the book had tried to convey to him.
The first thing he saw after reading through the pages though were the strings of notifications that showed no signs of ending.
[You have instilled fear, hatred, and despair into entities...]
[ 10]
[ 5]

[ 50]
[Karma Obtained: 200]
[Total Karma: 360]
Adam whistled in surprise before sighing bitterly after reading the description of the way in which he obtained his karma.
'This system is basically telling to beco evil.'
He had noticed this earlier with the Pivots. But acts of 'evil' were the ones that gave the greatest short-term rewards to him while the 'good' acts seem to be rather lacking.
[It's simply because negative emotions are easier to bring forth and thus result in a greater gathering of Karma.]
Adam nodded, acknowledging the book spirit's words that were conveyed in its usual robotic tone. It was hard to make soone like you, but it was pretty easy to make them hate you.
The sa went for Love and Lust and so on and so forth. It was always easy to be evil and hard to be good and that principle seed to be ingrained in the Karmic path.
If Adam gave up on all restraints and focused solely on farming Karma then...
'Don't think about that.'
He had rested enough and he could feel that the fight between Natasha and the hunk of a man had co to an end.
He spread his senses, unwilling to move, and realized that the outside of the factory had beco a complete and utter ss.
'So this is her power, huh...'
It was rather frightening if he had to be honest. Natasha looked like a true force of nature.
But Adam was not particularly scared of her powers or rather he was not scared of her. He knew very well that Natasha must have done all this for him...
She could have simply fled the scene, after all. But she didn't and fought them to avenge him. Still, the way she manipulated Ice and Snow gave him an idea of what he wanted to try in the future.
Though he doubted that he had the mastery necessary as he was right now... This was sothing he could slowly train in the future.
Once Natasha subdued the man and crushed his cybernetic arm, she turned around to direct a deep look of confusion and bewildernt toward the factory.
She had felt the attacks that had been launched from inside and rembered clearly that they were exactly the sa as Adam used.
But... That should be impossible.
Bashing the human, who had been fighting her till now, once again, just to make sure that he was out for the count, she took him in her maws and advanced toward the factory.
Her heart was beating powerfully against her beastly chest but when she finally entered inside and looked at Adam standing with difficulty with the dead body of the second rcenary under him, she opened her maws in utter surprise. This prompted the body to fall onto the ground but she didn't have the ti to focus on that.
Her body shrunk rapidly until she took her Human form and rushed at Adam at full speed while shouting with unconcealed joy in her tone...
"Adam!"
Adam barely had ti to react as he was tackled by a rapidly approaching Natasha.
He hugged her back on reflex as the two of them fell under her trendous montum.
Sitting on top of him, Natasha looked down at Adam with blurry eyes as tears threatened to fall at any mont from her sockets.
"Are you really alive?"
Adam coughed awkwardly due to the sight before him. "You should wear clothes first, Natasha."
It seed that Natasha's transformation didn't spare her clothes either. Leaving her completely naked from head to toe.
As a result, he now had a smoking hot golden-haired Russian girl sitting on top of his crotch while being completely bare for him to witness.
Even though she was quite lacking in the chest departnt compared to soone like Sae, this did not change the fact that she was an extrely enchanting, ravishing, and beautiful woman. Adam almost thought that it was cheating to be this much beautiful as he witnessed Natasha's naked form on top of her.
Adam looked away out of respect for his friend, not willing to bring her further sha, while Natasha blushed and coughed out loud, not knowing what to do in this situation. She was feeling too many emotions at this mont, so much so that her head went completely blank, rendering her unable to gather her bearings.
It was then...
"Princess!"
...Two won wearing black suits, akin to the bodyguard uniform, rushed past the gate of the factory and stopped in surprise at the sight that greeted them.
They had rushed at full speed after receiving the [Call of the Alpha] but they would have never thought that such a scene would be waiting for them to witness.
The two won beca excited at the prospects that this situation entailed.
Perhaps their princess had finally found a mate for herself? They were sure that the Leader of their clan would be really happy to witness such a scene.
"This... This isn't what it looks like."
Natasha covered her face in utter sha, embarrassnt, and unceasing agony. This situation was not how she expected it to go at all. Today seed to be a dark day for her.
------
After Natasha and Adam left the premise of the battlefield with the 'sole' surviving mbers of the rcenary group, the roar of an SUV resounded throughout the devastated landscape as a group of ard people jumped out of it after they reached the destination of the devastating fight.
They were all wearing black bodysuits as well as small pieces of armor over their bodies, covering their vitals. Their head was covered by white helts that covered the upper half of their face, like a visor of sort, and they were all holding special rifles in their hands.
Observing all this, Theresa, the current director of the LAPPD organization, who was also present in the SUV, sighed under her breath...
"See, I told you we just had to ignore the fight. Now. simply bring the cleaning crew and erase all the proofs of the battle."
Humans could not observe supernatural events normally. But they could still see a destroyed factory.
This was why the cleaning crew was perhaps the most important group of an organization as it took care of the aftermath of a clash between the Supernaturals.
They could repair buildings in a matter of minutes or at most hours. This was a transcendental concept.
Standing next to her, Makoto nodded silently to her words.
Theresa grinned as she glanced at her pupil, "So, what did you think of that fight?"
The LAPPD might have been slow to answer her call but that was not the case for Makoto. She had rushed imdiately after noticing the disturbance. So she was able to perfectly witness what transpired in this scene.
"Dangerous. But inexperienced..."
"Heh... Well, he would need to be like that to get their attention."
Adam Gospel. Her instincts were screaming at her that she needed to look at him, not as a re supernatural creature but sothing else, sothing greater.
"Well, he is just a small fish in a great ocean. At least, right now..."
She was even, more or less, thinking of recruiting the young boy. All paranormal departnts had a quota for supernatural creatures that needed to be filled in as regular mbers.
Theresa hated things like this. But she was not strong enough to discard the system, yet.
So for now. She should simply do her job.
