The villainess shall be mine

Questions, and more questions, even the answers were questions that led to more questions.

Adam knew that it wouldn't be easy. Unlike before, he didn't want his life to be controlled by anyone else.

As such, he didn't take the words of the two beings in front of him as something absolute.

However, Adam knew that he had to act, that he had to do something and fast.

The God of Void, and the one called Morpheus. He knew that these two beings were powerful, far more powerful than the opponent that he had faced. However, as long as he possessed the two primordial authorities, he would always find a way.

In that situation, Adam began to think about all of the possibilities, and his brain processed every single piece of information at an insane speed.

This world didn't allow a God to exist, Adam thought, but what did that imply? When did a being get classified as a God?

From what he could see, the God of Void had not yet recovered their full power. The fact that they didn't immediately kill him proved this much. But why?

Adam wasn't so naïve as to think that this being just wanted to have a friendly talk with him. As such, there was something this being wanted from him, something that he wasn't aware of, and shouldn't be aware of.

This would mean that he was close to his goal, but also in a very bad position. If he learned about this hidden truth, he would be erased by the world. However, this was a fate that he couldn't avoid. So what to do?

Adam knew that if he wanted a chance to overcome this obstacle he had to continue to think. How would the Autonomousity erase a being that was close to becoming a God? What was the process? If he couldn't understand this, he would never be able to make his dream, his ambition a reality.

"Hey, Adam, move away from him! He is one of the God of Void's reflection!"

Suddenly, someone who looked like Morpheus appeared.

"They are trying to trick you. We need to get out of here!" Then, another appeared. And then another one.

In the end, the illusion of the Royal disappeared and hundreds of Morpheus appeared, every one of them claiming to be the real one.

Adam was not a fool. He didn't trust anyone, no matter who they were. Holding the container containing Zax's head, he continued to connect the dots, and examine the possibilities. There should be an answer, he thought…

The God of Void was trying to prevent him from thinking rationally, and the reason for this was simple, they didn't have enough power to control Adam by force. With his domain, Adam could erase the God of Void because they were still not at full power, or so Adam thought, but that was too easy, almost as if the God of Void wanted him to do that.

The God of Void kept showing Adam their weakness, almost as if trying to appear vulnerable. What was the reason? What made him different from the God of Void? What exactly was it that Adam possessed and the God of Void didn't?

The answer was obvious. The authority of Creation and Destruction. If Adam used his power, the Destruction authority, the God of Void would end up in a world that the Autonomousity couldn't reach.

Now Adam knew what classified a being as a God.

There was indeed a lie in what a God of Void said, but everything wasn't a lie. The ability to bypass the Autonomousity. The sheer willpower of a single being.

[You should have realized it by now.]

The God of Void created the Anti-esse out of their sheer willpower. A force that could rival the Autonomousity.

As such, the Corruption was indeed the only way to overcome the barrier of Autonomousity. However, it was a double-edged sword. Unless Adam could create a force that could rival the Autonomousity and didn't rely on it to activate his power, he couldn't become a God.

A being that had this power, this force was classified as God and was a threat.

But from what Adam could see, the God of Void could not control the Nothingness. The corruption corrupted everything, but it was still the creation of the Creation authority, and not something entirely new.

"What are you doing Adam, come to me!"

"No, come here!"

All of the hundreds began to surround Adam as if trying to annoy him so that he would use his power.

However, the real Morpheus used his power to teleport Stephan's swords in hand and then used it to generate a vertical slash, unleashing enough power enough to decimate an entire continent.

Crack! At that time, Adam heard a very familiar sound. Time stopped. Adam coater his body with antimatter, but he was still unable to move.

A gigantic skeleton hand ripped open the sky as if it was made of glass. The hand was so huge that the Empire's capital planet appeared extremely small.

"They are here already," The God of Void shouted annoyingly.

Their entire body was made of Corruption, in other words, the Anti-esse so they were still able to move, but their power was sealed. In this space, no particles existed. It was a space filled only with Nothingness. Only a true God, and the Autonomousity, as well as the two primordial authorities, could affect what was happening within this dimension.

[Now you see what happens when a God is born. This world would get reset. In other words, this universe would be erased, making it that nothing happened. The God of Void might continue to get reincarnated but before they become a true God, the universe in which they were reincarnated would get erased. Then another universe will appear, and the cycle would repeat itself, creating a multiverse of creation and destruction. This would continue until all of the corruption would disappear, but the God of Void will….]

Morpheus' explanation stopped there. Ten beings that were bigger than the Empire's entire planet appeared. They were shrouded in dark shadows but their silhouettes were different.

They were the Guardians of the multiverse. They kill beings that were about to become a God. They were the nemesis of Gods. They were, in other words, demons.

Adam knew that there must be a reason why there were ten of them. Each of them must have unique abilities that would be useful in their task.

Adam didn't show any reaction to what was happening in front of him. This was something that was not worth being surprised about. No matter what happened, he knew that what he had to don't change.

[This sword is your chance. If someone else tried to hold this sword apart from, the hero, they would be erased. There's a reason for that, now go!]

Adam used what was left of his power to summon the Destruction Authority. However, something strange happened. Even Adam didn't expect it.

Two balls of lights appeared, one of golden color and one silver. Both of them revealed two little creatures inside them.

The ten beings immediately reacted to this situation, and without even moving, they were now around Adam. They shrank in size but their presence left Adam unable to move or breathe. Adam was at his limit because he was still a human who needed to breathe.

When Adam summoned the primordial authority these two little creatures appeared. This reminded him of Verte. They were like a chubby baby with long ears. Adam didn't like how they looked nor did he think that their appearance would change anything much, but…

Adam understood something.

For one thing, his thinking process was even faster than the movement of the ten beings. So fast was one second was close to ten minutes.

It was not that the beings were slow, it was just that Adam thought too fast.

One way to use the two authorities without relying on the Autonomousity was that the authorities would activate by themselves. How? The answer was simple, they must be connected to Adam and use Adam as their source of power.

As such, in a space where only Nothingness exists, when Adam used to summon his power, only two small chubby-looking babies appeared.

These two were his own creation, but since he didn't even know how they were created, they took the form of something that he understood. A human body. Adam learned about anatomy.

The fact that they were babies that could fit Adam's palm showed that this was his limit.

"Gugu?" The silver baby looked at Adam.

Swoosh! Everything turned dark. Adam didn't feel anything didn't see anything.

How long has it been? Where was he? Adam didn't know. There was nothing but darkness. What happened?

Crack! He felt like something was breaking, falling apart and he continued to fall. He tried to grab something but nothing was there.

Adam continued to fall… So deep…

No matter how much passed, he never hit the ground…

He continued to fall…

He felt that his body was growing weak, growing old…

But there was no end to this darkness…
