As the monster, larger than anything one could imagine, stood towering above the clusters of galaxies — even above the universe itself — it suddenly vanished. And in the next instant, it appeared again… as a human.
He walked slowly aboved the air, each step echoing against invisible blocks beneath his feet.
"So, you must think I'm the villain, right?" he said, his voice calm yet filled with mockery. "Man… you really scarred one of my avatars. Now he's missing a head."
He wore a black polo, a red necktie, and a dark crown that loomed above his head. A black orb floated gently beside him, humming with a strange rhythm.
Adam hovered a few inches above the ground. "Rehan, can you analyze this man?"
Manipulation—DeclosedManipulation — DeclosedManipulation—DeclosedEntrapment—CloseEntrapment — CloseEntrapment—CloseUnidentifiedUnidentifiedUnidentified
Rehan's voice came through the static. "I can't, Adam… It seems he's masking his identity."
Adam exhaled tiredly. That was really tiring..
"Yeah…I'm sorry I wasn't with you. A soft holographic smile flickered into existence— a long haired girl, faint and transparent. We could have made so many blueprint iventions together and ruled this world with money! Hehh…even aced exams without you reading a single page."
"Don't worry about skills or thinking anymore.I'll do it for you."
Adam's skill system opened at a mere thought — except the creation system, which stayed locked.
The man before him stood in silent contempt, his blank expression twisting slightly."Why are you like this? Why can't you just leave people alone?" His voice dropped lower, bitter. "That's what you humans do. You're all so… annoying."
He raised his hand. A massive vortex formed — blue light spiraling with black streaks tearing through the air. He threw it toward Adam.
Adam dodged, creating blueprints mid-air, but before the structures could form, a black tendril appeared and devoured them all.
The man teleported instantly, appearing beside him. Adam gasped as he was hurled through hundreds of buildings, concrete and steel shattering like glass. He coughed, floating within a crater, strangely unharmed.
Then came the crushing force — invisible, indestructible matter closing around him, pressing tighter and tighter until he looked like a cartoon figure squeezed into a box. Above him, the man floated, cane in hand, expression cold.
UniqueSkillActivated:COPY...ADAPTATION...Unique Skill Activated: COPY... ADAPTATION...UniqueSkillActivated:COPY...ADAPTATION...
Adam's body shimmered, adapting beyond limits. He touched the invisible prison, disintegrating it like jelly, and grabbed the man — trapping him in an air-tight box made from the same force.
The man scowled, unimpressed, and teleported out.
Adam appeared beside him in a flash and struck him — a blow that sent the man flying thousands of kilometers, each impact echoing like a sonic boom across the void of space.
Below, a boy lay on the ground — yellow-haired, half-dead. The monster beside him, once a towering beast, was now lifeless, its body eroded by the aura radiating from the two beings in the sky.
The boy's arm was gone. His legs had melted like wax. Yet he smiled. The pain still existed — phantom, cruel, endless. His head was bloodied, vision fading, the world dissolving into flashing lights above.
"I wonder what's happening to Mai right now… or maybe those kids…" he murmured. "Sigh… I was really useless. Can't even earn money… and now I'm dying."
"I want to be something…" He extended his remaining hand."I hate this. I hate being in this muddy place — this pile of carcasses — being weak, being dead…
I hate myself for even thinking I could've been different."
Back.Back.Back.
Countless colossal meteor were created and blazed across the space, splitting the exosphere. Adam looked toward the crowned man."Hey, man… don't you think that's too much? This people will die. Everyone."
The man's grin widened, his eyes gleaming with madness. "Why would I care about something I created? Things that can be easily replaced?"
Adam looked down, his expression blank. "Yeah… why do I even care?"
Rehan: Adam, I know what you're thinking. Three things: one—you still care.Two—you want control,to teach them a lesson.And the third—
"Shut up…" He sighed, embarrassed. "I know, I know… You don't have to say it."
"These people are fake," he whispered. "Just emotional, stupid… this world."
He raised his hand, and debris from comets and fireball began to swirl. Slowly, he compressed them — billions of times over — until matter itself collapse. Then he copied it, multiplied it, and hurled the mass out into space, creating a chain of explosions that lit the void like collapsing suns turning supernova.
A vast cube of invisible space sealed the blast, containing the destruction within itself.
Before he could breathe, the man appeared — faster than thought — and punched him in the jaw. Adam was flung upward through space, but teleported back instantly, landing a counterpunch instantly... the moment the fist moved it shattered sound itself.
A cycle of an endless barrage of punch, kicks and grapples in an instant...
"That's it," Adam muttered being bored. "I'm done here." He opened a white portal behind him, light bleeding through.
Where did you learn to do this?
"-_-… What?" He paused, thinking of that person — the one who'd started all this...How he just came here instantly
"He didn't… never mind."
The crowned man's face twisted in rage. Flesh erupted from nothing across the whole cities and multiplying, forming a web around the portal, sealing Adam's path.
But both knew the truth — their powers were equal. Neither could truly overpower the other.
Adam flicked his fingers. Miles of pulsating flesh disintegrated in an instant. He stepped through the portal, turning once to glance back at the ruined city — and at the man still floating there. "Haii..." He smiles "Why are you so different than a human... can't you just leave me alone..."
Emerging from the other side, he rose through a storm of mouths and writhing veins, all dissolving before they could touch him. He drifted upward, past the graveyard, out of the red flesh that once imprisoned him.
And as he reached open air again, he looked down — at a world being deformed and corrupted, devoured, and absorbed by that endless red tide of flesh...
"Where do these things even come from…" he whispered.
Feeling lazy about all of this... Why do i have to do it now... Can't i wait?
Flicking his fingers as the flesh dissapeared across the light, as his eye's dilate when the flesh came from nothing and corrupting the whole mindscape again...
