"How do you know ?" Stephan asked, looking at Adam who was floating in the air right in front of him.
"On my coming to age ceremony, one of your puppets was there, right? Of course, you will be there. You would never let soone beco a threat," Adam said, thinking back about that fateful day.
At that ti, he saw a weird vision. He saw a young man who had beco a hero. However, the hero was betrayed by the woman he loved.
"At that ti, I didn't understand it, so I ended up not thinking about it. But now it all makes sense," Adam declared, "You were already reading my mind at that ti, that's why I could access your subconscious, your hidden mory,"
"I see, so that's what happened. I was wondering why I lost all connection with my puppet on that day," Stephan said, not looking surprised by Adam's revelation.
At that ti, the mory of everyone who witnessed what happened on that day was erased. That was the last ability that pride used.
However, it didn't take Stephan and Eva long to discover Adam's power. But that entity intervened… That entity used both its curiosity and ego to protect Adam.
'Aren't you curious about what will beco of him?' The entity said. They didn't even rember when the entity said this, but sohow, they were convinced that it would be interesting to leave Adam alone.
At that ti, Adam was still pathetic and weak. They never expect that he would beco a person that could destroy the Empire and stop them… Just a few days ago, he wasn't even a threat.
"So that's how it is… We were just used for your creation. A monster like none other," Stephan continued with a smile on his face.
"What's your goal? Why are you doing this?" Adam asked, but then he noticed the face of the woman lying on the ground, the face hidden behind the veil. He noticed Eva's face. "Is this for revenge?"
"Unlike you, I never cared about becoming a good or whatever. I just wanted to see the despair on this woman's face." Stephan didn't seem to be bothered by Adam's question. He didn't expect anyone to understand him. "As you can, humans don't always end up becoming good even if they were given great power. I understand why the master called us failures… and her…"
"Master? Who is your master? Where is he?" Adam asked, feeling that he was close to uncovering the identity of the mastermind.
"Hahaha! You haven't noticed yet?" Stephan said mockingly, causing Adam's brow to frown.
After hearing Stephan's words, Adam looked at the device and saw Neige, and was about to intervene but…
"I would not do that if I were you."
…Stephan stopped him.
"The harvest is already completed. Everything was taken as planned. Down to the very last detail Hahaha! Even this reunion between the three of us was already planned!" Stephan began to shout and laugh at his realization. He thought of himself as soone cunning, but even his own evaluation of himself was used to control him.
Fwooosh! A blind light engulfed the top of the building. Before Adam could even move, the device and Neige who was inside it had already disappeared.
"What happened?" Adam began analyzing the situation.
"Who knows," Stephan answered. He sat down next to Eva. She had died.
Maybe, if that being didn't manipulate her to beco the Holy Mother, things might have ended up differently.
Stephan looked up to the sky. "What is this shitty feeling. Why am I not happy?"
At the very end, he finally understood what that being wanted to say. If he managed to beco the most powerful person in the world, how co he couldn't even change the mind of a single woman?
"Did he even say that? No, I guess I just realized why hate and love are the sa forms of emotion." Stephan said, talking to himself.
"What were trying to achieve? Tell …" Adam grabbed Stephan by his collar and lifted him in the air. He couldn't see anything strange in the surrounding, but he knew that sothing was happening and he couldn't see it.
More importantly, the three fragnts disappeared with the device alongside Neige, and this was a problem.
"Don't ask . I don't know, and I don't care. But you talked about becoming a god and all of that crap right? I don't know what's your definition of God, but this thing will give birth to a God, or so that woman said," Stephan explained.
Now that he thought about it, if his master, the God of Eva, wasn't the one who was to be brought to this world using Neige as a vessel, then who?
"I will still kill you," Adam said. Stephan was the one who killed everyone important to him. Even though he had already found a way to bring all of them back, he still couldn't forgive Stephan.
"What are you waiting for? Look, I created an Empire. I ruled this world for thousands of years. And I got my revenge. Do you think I still have any regret?" Stephan spoke arrogantly.
"That's just because you didn't have anything else to do. If you could do that much, why didn't you just aim higher? Create a world where Eva and you would be together. Humans are not evil by nature. You just didn't try hard enough," Adam said, holding Stephan by his collar.
"Maybe. I just didn't think that it was possible. And I didn't have the power to do it. I guess that's the difference," Stephan muttered. "I don't want to think about it anymore…"
After that, Stephan lost all strength and his consciousness vanished. At that ti, the real Stephen, who was nothing more than a big brain situated at the heart of the Empire, disconnected himself, erasing all of his data and mory.
Looking at what happened, Adam felt frustrated. Until the very end, Stephan didn't regret his actions.
Suddenly, everything was quiet. Almost every human on the planet had died.
"What to do now?" He muttered to himself. He expected to fight a very powerful being when the harvest began, but he didn't expect anything to just end like that. He had to search for tree fragnts again. Then…
Adam turned him quickly, sensing a presence behind him, but then he saw sothing very nostalgic…
A pyramid of glass. Exotic flowers. White table and chairs. Sweets and… A tea set. It was fairly small compared to the real one, but the thing in front of him looked like the Royal Garden of Kepalta.
"Adam, join ," A voice ca from the one sitting on top of one of the chairs.
"M-mother?" Adam muttered ekly, almost shocked. He didn't want to feel such an emotion, knowing that this was not real, but it was still hard to keep his composure. "Who are you?"
However, the being in front wasn't his mother. They were just taking the appearance of his mother, he knew.
However, his fake mother smiled, and the smile was similar to the one in his mory.
This should have made Adam extrely angry, but for so reason, he couldn't feel anything… Instead, he approached the table and sat down on one of the chairs. He didn't even know what he was doing. What kind of power is this?
"So we et again," the being said.
"No, I never t you," Adam said. "Stop taking the appearance of my mother."
"You don't rember? When you were rejected by that girl, Tracey. You looked embarrassed when you remarked that I was sitting there. I said that I will not say anything," said the being.
"At that ti… You were that person wearing a white costu?" Adam said. He thought that the man was doing so kind of cosplay at that ti, and he forgot about his existence.
"I don't have much ti left. I will disappear soon," the being declared.
"And what does have to do with ? You were the one who controlled everything from the shadow all of this ti, right?" Adam said.
"If I had the power to make everything right, I wouldn't have planned all of this just to reincarnate you in this world. This world doesn't allow a God to exist. That's why you have to listen to what I will say. If you want to create that world you have in mind," the being added.
"So this is the continuation of that story? The one about the God of creation and the God of Void?"
"Yes, the God of Void will be revived soon, but that will take ti, that's why we can talk. Right now, the authority of Autonomousity is about to activate the new loop. Once it begins, no being that exists can stop it… However, there is an expectation in everything. A unique existence that doesn't exist anywhere in this world. That's what you need to beco. That"s the first thing you need to do…"
