"Now, call out my name aloud—Adam!"

"I will sow new seeds in the forest, the forbidden fruit that enlightens mankind, which has already grown in everyone's heart."

"A mere bite is enough for an ordinary person to gain boundless wisdom and awaken from confusion."

“Once I can draw water from everyone’s well, then mortals will no longer need to close themselves off. Just imagine how all that repression will erupt in various forms. Such a scene is truly breathtaking!”

Adam clenched his left fist and swept his right hand in front of him with great excitement and pride. "Mortals often ask themselves the reason for their existence, but they cannot give an answer."

"But I can. Join me, and I will show you. Those who do not follow the gods, then feel the power of the new humanity! They will have no doubts, for its outer shell has been completely stripped away! It is itself!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than the alarm sounded for the escape of the anomaly.

Hey!

Du Jue immediately became alert upon seeing the figures that suddenly appeared beside and behind Adam. He couldn't imagine what kind of trouble Adam would cause, but as usual, he first threw out a trash talk to provoke the enemy, "Bullshit God."

Chapter 272 Questions.

“Du Jue, I know your past. Without a doubt, you are the only one here who has the right to speak to me.”

Adam suddenly sneered, "But it's really laughable that you're trapped in a mortal body and stuck in a mortal mind like this."

call out!

Almost the instant Adam finished speaking, Du Jue suddenly swung out the Thorn Spear. The spear, covered with dark red spikes, created a swirling airflow that distorted the air it swept through.

"Using the secrets of this place to seize absolute power is the wise move!"

The newly formed illusory figure immediately stood in front of Adam, forcefully blocking the advancing spiral spear with its body, before shattering like glass.

clang.

The heavy spear fell straight to the ground, and the next moment, Du Jue reached out from behind and picked it up.

Red Dragon Scales!

Without hesitation, Du Jue, who had rushed forward, gripped the gun with both hands and slammed it forward. The terrifying force shattered the wind and created a chaotic vortex.

The swift and precise strike sent Adam flying, then blasted him away like a mortar shell, causing him to crash into the corridor walls, twisting and deforming them as if they were crumpled paper, and even causing a large portion of the passageway to collapse and shatter.

Du Jue, catching his breath, sneered viciously, "Here, I'm in charge, and a monster like you isn't qualified to stand in front of me."

Adam, his long white hair and clothes spotless, stood up angrily. Looking down, he saw the only thing that had scratched his skin: the tangled thorns.

"Good job!"

Carly, who was watching from behind, was about to call for reinforcements to join the battle, but then she saw the rest of Adam's solidified figures instantly appear next to her EGO employees.

"Stop it! Do you want to hurt me with this? As the savior who leads a new humanity, this is meaningless!"

Adam took a step back, raised his hand, and pulled a thorn from his shoulder. "Only by regaining freedom can a person truly be human!"

thump!

Du Jue, his cheeks covered in red scales, looked to his right with alarm and was shocked to find two EGO employees kneeling on the ground, clutching their EGO equipment and trembling in pain.

What's happening here? !

Could it be that Adam can control EGO's equipment?

[This is the supervisor. Absolutely not. Adam is attempting to gather and utilize the energy escaping from the Seed of Light…]

hum!

The metal nameplate, which had been working perfectly, suddenly cracked, and then the supervisor's voice was completely cut off, startling Du Jue.

Even the smallest fragments of the Seed of Light, a terrifying thing capable of affecting the entire city, are extremely dangerous and could even kill him. This is troublesome!

Du Jue immediately suppressed his panic and put on a contemptuous expression, "Adam, is that all you've got? Come on, let's have a showdown!"

"Shut up! Look at those people, their outer shells are being peeled away, and the new humans that are born will teach you a lesson, and you will eventually understand that only I can answer the question of who they really are!"

Adam forcefully raised his right hand, causing his white clothes to sway.

thump!

More EGO employees struggled and fell to their knees.

"This is……?"

Benjamin frowned as he looked at the people whose features were all scrunched up together, then looked at Adam, who looked just like Ein when he was young, with a complicated expression.

Gallion, standing with his arms crossed, pondered for a moment before speaking: "It looks like the process of retrieving anomalies, only the degree is relatively mild."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this assessment, both Carly and Dujue exclaimed in surprise. They had never imagined that the other party was not controlling the EGO equipment, but rather transforming the employees into anomaly-like beings.

"Uh-huh!"

After throwing away the EGO equipment he was carrying, one of the employees suddenly swelled up to a gigantic size, with countless bone spurs sprouting from his spine as he broke through his skin and flesh. He then squatted in place, shouting, "Don't come any closer!"

A nearby employee had blood-dripping blades sprout from his arms, and then his entire body was covered in long knives piercing outwards. "One day, everyone here will die..."

Carly nearly lost control of her rage upon witnessing this scene. She had seen far too many instances of abnormal beings killing employees, and now she was seeing her employees transformed into those abominable things. "You bastard!"

She glared at Adam, then gave the order: "Everyone, kill it!"

Carly then turned and glanced at Du Jue, a single look instantly conveying her meaning to him.

Swish!

Swish!

Carly immediately darted out from the crowd, and two red figures rushed toward Adam on the metal ruins, one after the other.

Rumble.

The sound of a heavy object crushing the steel floor came from behind, causing Du Jue to turn around and see that the giant skeletal hedgehog was rolling towards them.

Its straight, sharp bone spikes, like a peacock spreading its tail, occupied the corridor space, leaving no place to hide. They brutally crushed the screaming employees, even creating a wave of air that swept across the floor.

Hey!

Seeing that it was about to catch up with Carly, Du Jue hurriedly took out the Crusher and threw it backward with all his might.

Boom!

The white-boned hedgehog was abruptly stopped by the flying crusher, and then spun around and crashed into the corridor wall by the weight of the weapon.

Upon seeing this, Adam laughed arrogantly, “No more past, no more pain, no more regret. I have revealed my truest self to you.”

"Who am I? Only I can give such a clear answer. All new humans no longer have any shells to hide or peel away. They only need to look at themselves to understand who they really are!"

Gripping the prototype of the mimicry greatsword tightly in her hand, Carly donned the black and red armor that resonated with it, her anger rising, and she gritted her teeth and growled: "Stop!"

Upon hearing Carly's voice, Du Jue immediately slowed down, tensed his body, and straightened his left shoulder.

boom.

Then Carly stepped on his shoulder.

Carly, who had leaped into the air, brought her powerful vertical slash down on Adam, who was laughing wildly, accompanied by a thick mist of blood.

puff!

A clump of pink slime suddenly sprang out from the construction department's door. The outline of a long-haired girl could be seen from its wriggling movements. It was clearly the alien creature, Dissolving Love, that Du Jue had encountered before!

"Carly, watch out!"

Tear!

The mimicry blade slashed wildly through the onrushing Dissolving Love, but the corrosive slime splattered everywhere, much of it getting onto Dujue and Carly's clothes.

"You see, these things you call anomalies never question the question 'Who am I?' That is the ultimate enlightenment!"

Standing there, Adam proudly raised his head after the dissolution of love, "This world is either right or wrong, and there is only one answer for 'self': stop, stop being bound by the body and appearance, and walk with me."

"What nonsense!"

By touching the violent brass knuckles, Du Jue vaguely understood that the other party seemed to be able to control the aliens to some extent; otherwise, the recently dissolved love would have attacked Adam. Such a troublesome enemy must first have its will shaken.

"Even hormone-induced prosthetics can cause emotional instability, but turning people into monsters is simply tearing apart their inner emotions! These things, whose brains are different from normal humans, don't even have the ability to think!"

"The body, senses, and social relationships are all part of a person. You have distorted their self into what you want them to be. You haven't provided the answers; instead, you have imposed and enslaved them! You have completely enslaved everyone to some aspect of their inner selves!"

Adam immediately showed his anger, "Ignorance is no crime, the guilty ones are always those who are suspicious like you! You can't give any answers!"

"There is no need to answer such a question. I am who I am, and even if my memories, body, and emotions change constantly, there is no doubt about it."

The prototype of Lord of the Rings, self-revelation!

Chapter 273 The Decree.

A black and gold ring engraved with a six-pointed star symbol replaced the violent knuckle duster in Du Jue's hand. Even though its light was restrained, it still dimmed all the lights in the corridor, as if a black veil had been cast over it.

A surge of arrogance, disdain for this person and this place, welled up within him. Du Jue, watching the illusory sardines about to depart, spoke with displeasure: "Stop!"

The fish that usually appeared and disappeared abruptly were now actually obeying his command and surrounding Du Jue.

Adam seemed to see the strange sardines as well, his face showing a mixture of confusion and surprise. "Does this negate the star power you mentioned?"

Then, the sword-wielding man covered in blades and the skeletal hedgehog charged at them again, while the EGO staff, who had been assembled, were engaged in a fierce battle with their colleagues who had turned into monsters.

Carly was still dismantling the suddenly appearing Love of Dissolution when she heard an announcement: "All departments must continuously monitor their employees and take immediate control measures if any abnormalities are found to prevent them from recklessly heading to the lower-level construction department."

"What? Other departments were affected too?!"

Upon hearing this, Carly immediately became anxious. If all the employees were to transform into monsters and rush here, there would be no chance of victory given the disparity in strength. However, when she saw Du Jue, all her movements stopped.

Du Jue, who was tightly gripping the prototype of the magic ring, forcefully suppressed it, even though it attracted the attention of everyone and monsters in the corridor.

Don't suppress it!

Adam looked at Du Jue with excitement, “Raise it, walk with me, then remove the old human emotions and rationality, leaving only the self. Fear and anxiety will all disappear, and the so-called cycle of suffering will naturally vanish.”

"Well!"

As if he had found a kindred spirit, the prototype of the One Ring trembled violently in Du Jue's hands. That power and violence that surpassed all others was extremely tempting; just one step forward and he would become a new god of creation.

With veins bulging in his neck, Du Jue gritted his teeth and forcibly controlled the prototype of the One Ring, because arrogance would make him lose control of himself. After all, that was his thought magnified countless times. "Hmph, you dare to walk with me? There is only one savior here!"

"Adam, you are nothing but a hybrid manifested through the billions of thoughts of the Seed of Light. Who gave you the right to invite me!"

As Dujue raised the six-pointed star ring, he felt more and more illusory sardines gathering around him, and his arrogance rose steadily.

Even Adam, who considered himself a god, couldn't stand these words. He immediately snorted coldly, and all the monsters in the corridor abandoned their EGO employees and rushed towards Du Jue. "Du Jue, it seems you're just a mediocre person after all."

boom.

With a single slash, Carly forced the spinning skeletal hedgehog to a stop. She quickly turned to warn, "Be careful, these monsters possess strange abilities like those of anomalies."

Tear it apart!

The swordsman rushing towards Dujue cut through all obstacles in his path, leaving smooth cuts without any burrs or sticking, as if they were two separate things.

Du Jue merely glanced at the irrational monster and said, "Just kill yourself."

The countless sharp blades on its body instantly retracted, piercing through its entire body once more, and it collapsed to the ground with its head bowed in the blink of an eye.

Looking at Du Jue's ferocious and resistant expression, and the sword monster that had lost its ability to move, Carly was momentarily confused and unable to understand what was going on with Du Jue.

At this moment, Du Jue saw the record about the prototype of the Lord of the Rings on the sardine. Just a quick glance was enough to make him understand, and the resonance in his heart was transmitted.

During King Solomon's reign, he diligently amassed an unbelievable fortune. Legend has it that Solomon possessed a magic ring, enabling him to communicate with birds, beasts, insects, and fish to ensure bountiful harvests, and to command demons to help him amass wealth.

Adam, seemingly hearing the echo, arrogantly spread his arms wide. "That's the foolish old humanity, always fabricating ridiculous stories about things they can't understand. This is what will stop you from making such a fool of yourself right now!"

Bang!

Three alien entities stormed into the battlefield from the opposite side of the construction department. The pink alpaca, the red-cloaked mercenary, and the skinless monster that Du Jue was completely familiar with immediately caused the danger level of the battlefield to rise rapidly.

"Exactly! I must rid myself of this incompetent and foolish attitude!"

Adam's words stirred a sense of disdain in Du Jue, who wished he could merge with the original Lord of the Rings and completely shed his old human form, but his clear mind still made him hesitate in place.

Do not immediately regain control of your body and pull the rising Ring down.

"director!!"
