?The starry sky shone brightly, illuminating the vast adows filled with various beautiful flowers. This place could be mistaken for paradise because its beauty was unparalleled. These were the Fields of the Emperor of Love, the ancient god!
Who is the ancient god? It is a being that has existed since the world's inception. It is responsible for the world's safety, and if the ancient god were to die, the world would face calamity. Therefore, they were crucial figures for the entire world! And then...
Drip. Drip. Drip.
Dripping sounds echoed. Suddenly, clouds gathered in the sky, and rain began to fall. The weather, once calm and beautiful, turned extrely gloomy. Everything seed as if the world was mourning soone's death. Flowers withered, and the beauty of the adow disappeared. It was a catastrophe!
"Th-the ancient god has been killed!" soone suddenly shouted.
It was the beginning of chaos!

"How irritating this is... I can't... I can't take it anymore!" Adam muttered irritably, opening his eyes. "Huh? I'm back?"
He looked around and saw that he was in so building, and the atmosphere here was similar to what it was in the Underworld, aning he had indeed returned. Moreover, he keenly felt the aura of his wife and mother-in-law.
Before opening his eyes, he had countless attempts to wake up, but they all failed. There was a sense that sothing was blocking his consciousness, and thus he found himself imprisoned within his mind. He had to watch images of the unknown warrior's growth, who died and was reborn as a demon!
Many details were undisclosed. The man's face was blocked by sothing, making it unclear who he was. He seed so familiar and close, yet infinitely distant from seeing his face. The man's journey started with death, and then it was ti for battles and wars, and then he faced the ancient god, killing him.
It was a strange journey that led to battles and killings. It seed like nothing could stop him, and he was extrely bloodthirsty, killing people as easily as ants. In that world, he was given the title "demonius," which in the ancient language ant "evil."
"How strange. Why did I even see a vision of him? We're not connected in any way," Adam wondered, but then he examined his body and was greatly surprised. He cleared his throat. "Cough-cough... damn, how did I beco like this?"
He looked like a hybrid of a crow, demon, and human. It was extrely repulsive, and on top of that, he felt his life energy leaking away. At this rate, he would simply die!
"Darn, how do I disable this?" he complained, trying not to panic and attempting to co up with a solution.
And, unexpectedly, he soon returned to his usual human form. Adam examined his body and shook his head, realizing he was naked. Unfortunately, he didn't bring an extra set of clothes, and what he had in his inventory couldn't be accessed since the system here didn't work at all. He scanned his magical energy circles and noticed changes.
"My magical energy has beco much denser and purer, and demonic energy has almost equaled magical energy, almost squeezing it out of my magical channels," he marveled and smiled. "I've broken through to the rank of noble demons!"
While Adam was busy examining his body and exploring new possibilities, the door was suddenly rushed by the hurried footsteps of several people, followed by a loud bang as the door slightly broke from the applied force. Adam turned puzzled, and the only thing he saw was Amarantha's chest, and then he instinctively started patting her on the back.
"Adaam!"
The only thing he heard was her tender cry and sobbing. Through their connection, he felt her emotions—she was happy and wanted to quench her loneliness in his strong embrace, feel his warmth, and recover after a long period of distress. All he had to do was hug her and kiss the top of her head, gently stroking her slender back.
Looking up, he noticed Veronica, who was watching with a smile, but it was still evident that she intended to jump into his arms. The man t her gaze and smiled, sending a ssage, "You too, co over. No need to hold back."
"Um..."
Although Veronica felt a bit awkward, she ran to him and hugged him from behind, resting her head on his shoulder. Now he was surrounded on both sides, and imdiately four superweapons were aid at him. He sighed.

It took a whole hour to calm down the two won who poured their hearts out to him and couldn't control themselves. He smiled bitterly when he saw that they were peacefully sleeping, while he was extrely disheveled.
"Adam... although I'm glad you're okay, for starters, take this... um, better get dressed, okay?" Suddenly, a voice rang out, sounding like it was barely holding back laughter.
"Eh? Mother-in-law... uh!"
At first, Adam didn't quite understand Sierra's words, but after seeing his state, he still smiled and took the offered clothing. And so, slipping out of the firm grasp of the two won, he changed. The clothes were quite ordinary—plain black trousers, boots, and a T-shirt. Unfortunately, Sierra didn't have any more normal clothes.
"I look like a hipster, damn it. This outfit doesn't suit at all," he muttered and sighed. "Well, not a suit, of course, but it'll do."
After walking around a bit and doing so exercises, he looked at Sierra and Elizabeth, who were sitting next to the sleeping Amarantha and Veronica. He sighed and approached them, dragging a chair along. With a thud, he placed the chair in front of the couch where the won were sitting and sat down.
"So... can you tell why I woke up in a strange state? Also, my life energy looks like it's ready to deplete any second, and I'll die," he comnted on his condition in a rather cynical manner, rubbing his chin in puzzlent. He looked at Sierra, who shrugged. "What? Do you know sothing?"
"I learned about your condition from Veronica, but I can't explain it. Although, in a few words, it's so kind of berserker mode," Sierra replied, tilting her head to the side, poking her left cheek with her index finger. "I'm curious how you managed to return to your normal state. Even after heroic efforts from Amarantha and Veronica, Jae couldn't do it."
"Eh?" Adam felt strange hearing about the efforts of the two won but didn't pay much attention to it. He just sighed and said, "I don't know myself. I thought I didn't want this form, and it disappeared. That's it."
Sierra looked puzzled, not understanding how that could work, but Adam himself couldn't provide a different answer because that's exactly what happened. He simply thought he didn't want to stay in that form, and then it happened. So he could only shrug.
After he talked a bit with Sierra, the man began to ditate. Despite leveling up and being ready for everything, he needed to put himself in order. At the very least, there were impurities in the body that needed to be removed for more efficient use.
And now, an hour passed. Adam was still in a ditative state when a shake occurred, waking him up. He opened his eyes and looked around at the space that suddenly distorted, appearing as if they had entered a vortex. Veronica held him in her arms, looking surprised.
"What's happening?" he asked, frowning, not understanding what was going on.
"Adaam... is kicking us out. That jerk reached the control core and used his power to expel outsiders," Veronica murmured and sighed. She clapped her hands, and a do ford around them, providing safety. "We'll be thrown out soon, and we don't know where we'll end up. We need to be careful."
"Yeah..."
Adam was a bit puzzled, as he didn't quite understand what was happening. But judging by the serious expressions on the won's faces, it was sothing dangerous. And now, their do was sucked into the vortex, and then everything changed. Adam was surprised to find that they stood in front of a rift emitting a familiar aura.
"Oh? We're lucky... very lucky. We were thrown right in front of our world," Sierra said, giggling and clapping Elizabeth on the back. "Well, are you glad to be ho?"
"Don't touch , got it?" Elizabeth said and snorted, leaving the do and entering the rift.
"Pff!"
Veronica snorted, seeing Elizabeth's arrogance but didn't bother chasing after her. After a few minutes, once the rift stabilized, their do descended inside. It all happened very quickly – suddenly, they found themselves in the air in a forest. Adam squinted his eyes, feeling a slight nostalgia.
"This is Elfheim," he suddenly muttered.
The Queen of the Elves' castle was sowhat empty, but there was still so activity. Suddenly, a bright flash appeared in the throne room, and a beautiful elf with wheat-colored hair and a smile on her face erged. She was Amaria, the Queen of the Elves.
"Darn it, why did I get kicked out of Hell? Did Veronica do sothing stupid, really?" she complained and shook her head. "Doesn't matter... I got so interesting things, so I wouldn't say I'm at a loss."
She sat on the throne and sighed, feeling a bit tired. Using spatial teleportation took a lot of effort and magical energy. Teleportation in space is a very complex process, and it's extrely challenging to set the coordinates correctly. There's a chance of ending up in an unknown place and being very far away.
So few dare to use this thod for movent. After all, there's a chance of entering an enemy's lair and then dying.
"Hmm? I sense a rift in space... what powerful energy!" she exclaid in surprise and grinned, lifting her head. "Ah, it's you, Veronica! And... a cute little boy."
