Chapter 427 Retribution, Price
[There is something wrong with the service you provide, Adam. 】
[The connection is dissipating. What is your explanation for this? 】
Adam opened his eyes. He was on the deck of Najirfar a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye he was 'being' arrived over the ruined Valinor - only one of the magnificent floating islands that was originally the kingdom of the gods was left. Huge void.
The stars of the gods circled the hollow of the ruins, while Adam's body was immersed in the silver moonlight.
His pupils shrank slightly when he heard the bad news.
"As expected." Even though it was completely unexpected, he still acted confidently. "My opponent Chu Xuan is a powerful enemy. The long verification time allowed him to seize the opportunity and make some small moves that eluded my perception. His death has been proven but the impact he caused will not disappear. And what appears now is just the aftermath of his plan.”
[Are you accusing the gods of not providing help to you in the first place, which is why you suffered such consequences? 】
Ilúvatar's voice was as indifferent and steady as ever, without any emotion.
Like an expository narrator.
"I'm just stating the facts. And this is based on my judgment. I have a plan to deal with this problem. I just need to slightly adjust the current planning operation."
【so? 】
The silver moonlight penetrated into his body, and he found that he was now completely unable to mobilize energy. Even the fourth level of genetic fine-tuning cannot be achieved. Except for the most basic functions of dialogue and thinking, all abilities are suppressed and blocked. You can't even trick yourself into dying in order to activate the resurrection item!
Miscalculated.
It was indeed his own mistake to attract attention to the remaining enemies. The sense of accomplishment and emptiness after killing Chu Xuan prevented him from clearing the entire continent in the first place... No, that kind of thing couldn't be done in the first place. But if you can put aside your pride and rely on the power of the Valar, the hiders hiding in Middle-earth will definitely be discovered by themselves.
But how could he let go of his pride? Especially after you have already consumed your self-esteem once and killed Chu Xuan once with the help of the power of the Creator?
It can't be done, but this is a way to break the situation.
Although I don’t know how Chu Xuan interfered with Narnia. But it has obviously become the opponent's home court. As visitors to another world, Iluvatar and the gods under him will inevitably lead to a great weakening of the law if they directly cross the boundary. Therefore, they cannot take advantage of the mistakes made by the Onishi continent team. And as a reincarnation that is not affected by rules and laws and can freely travel through all realms... Daxizhou's current hard power may not be enough to annihilate its opponents on Central Continent's home court.
So, two options. He admitted his mistake and led his team to forcibly cross the border under Ilúvatar's regulations. Then he got a bloody head-on in Narnia, the renovated home stadium of the Central-Continent team.
Or, put aside your dignity and seek the help of the gods to catch the mice hidden by the enemy. As long as a member of the Zhongzhou Team can be captured, the corresponding information can be obtained from the opponent's mind and the opponent's reincarnation watch. And by then, it will become much easier to advance or retreat.
Of course, there is also the third option that he will never choose. Don't admit your mistakes and don't let go of your dignity. Use lies to deceive Ilúvatar even for a moment, and then directly reply——
Adam's eyes widened as he realized another mistake.
A mistake that he made because he was too smooth sailing and lacked setbacks and tribulations, and had no personal experience with pain. And that is in the face of absolutely powerful power, wisdom cannot be effective at all times!
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
This is seeking skin from a tiger.
Ilúvatar's questioning from beginning to end was just to make him think and plan. The Creator who was deceived is more willing to believe in His own eyes! And the silver moonlight that had filled his body penetrated into the depths of his soul!
Memories and perceptions were forced to surge. The secrets that he had hidden well and would not reveal even if he was deceived, flowed out along the gaps created by his thinking at the last moment!
plan……
——[Adam the Reincarnator leaked information about the Lord God and deducted 1073 reward points...]
Reincarnator...
——[Adam the Reincarnator leaked information about the Lord God and deducted 2971 reward points...]
Resurrection props...
——[Adam the Reincarnator leaked information about the Lord God and deducted 4309 reward points...]
The Lord God’s announcements sounded one after another. This penalty was extremely severe, far exceeding anything Adam had experienced in the past. And a huge amount of information was leaked and lost. Even if he tried his best to conceal the relevant content of the Lord God's Space, the experience of exploring the ruins of Narnia was also greatly taken away by Ilúvatar's reading!
Until the shadow of death came to his mind - it was a stress measure buried deep in his soul to forcibly activate the resurrection props in extreme circumstances. For the sake of safety, the comeback method did not even exist in his memory. His soul melted because of this, and he couldn't wait to reach out his hands to embrace that death, so as to hold the initiative in his own hands again.
Stopped abruptly.
The silver moonlight suppressed the collapse of his soul and stopped probing from the depths of his mind. Ilúvatar had obtained everything he expected to know, and Adam had paid nearly ten thousand reward points for it.
[It seems that you are not as confident as you said. You are afraid of the opponent you killed. 】
"Huh... there's no need to make everything so unpleasant."
[You have violated the covenant, and this is the price you should pay. You harbor malice against the gods in your heart, and for that alone you deserve to be punished. 】
The plan was revealed.
Ilúvatar already knew of Adam's plan, that he would burn bridges after the final moment - and that this was not supposed to happen. Friendly cooperation between the two sides could have maintained this hypocritical peace until the moment when the two sides saw each other.
Because Ilúvatar didn't actually give anything.
Even if Middle-earth is beaten into powder, even if the dark and fallen gods rule the earth and counterattack the Court of Valinor. Even if all the Valar and Maiya perished in the catastrophe, He still didn't give anything.
Because even then, everything is still in the world of Arda-The Lord of the Rings. As the Creator, since He can shape the world once, He can reshape it a second time. Anyway, all the materials remain in place, the resources have not disappeared, they have just changed their existence form. At most, it's just a matter of putting more effort into composing the great movement of creation for the second time.
The payment is basically zero, and the transaction is naturally smooth and comfortable. But if he is fooled, he will show no mercy.
"But you still decided to fulfill this contract." Adam's heart sank, and he tried his best to remove useless thoughts from his mind. It was impossible for him to choose to escape from the battlefield at this time. Because the advantage is still in his hands, and if he can't defeat the Central Continent team even with such an advantage, then there is no need to meet again next time.
"Tell me, what do you want us to do?" The price is to give up the initiative.
[Your plan is perfect, but the executors need to make some changes. The gods already know the nature of Narnia's treasure trove, and will spare no effort to obtain its benefits. And you need to clear away the variables on the earth and face your old enemy. 】
[As a partner’s investment, I will give you the power of Vera. 】
The silver moonlight poured in again, not allowing him to escape or resist in any way. And almost immediately, the feeling of physical transformation and strength improvement filled the body and mind of the Samsara Captain of the Daxizhou Team.
His strength did grow.
He did not break through his inner demons and obtain his own spiritual light. But a certain kind of pure power similar to the light of the heart was flowing within his body, and his operational accuracy also passively touched a level close to the serious fourth middle school at this moment.
This seems to be a pie falling from the sky. but……
He glanced at his wrist. The watch of the reincarnator flickered like a distorted old TV signal. The identity of the reincarnated person is about to be separated due to the distortion of the essence of life. This was one of the strategies he used to remove the Central Continent team's resurrection method, but at this moment, its effectiveness fell on his head.
You will kill yourself if you do it, and you will reap the consequences.
There are ways to get rid of this interference. But before that, the resurrection and exit items on his body will not take effect. And Ilúvatar could kill him at any time.
The next moment, he disappeared from above the ruins of Valinor under the rolling moonlight. Return to the parking place of Najirfa again.
[Go and finish what you have to do. 】
The voice of the Creator was as indifferent as ever. No warning, no threat, no rebuke or order.
He was simply stating a fact, and Adam had to listen.
……………………
"Adam?" Christine's voice echoed in his ears, and the mentalist noticed the brief departure of his captain. "The aura on your body...have you become stronger?"
She also became aware of Adam's newfound strength.
"There was an accident." Adam waved his hand. He did not intend to let all the team members know the contents of the new deal.
After all, the advantage is still in their hands.
Although the conversation was unpleasant, it was indeed the fastest way to reach mutual trust and consensus with Ilúvatar. Rather than being slapped by the angry Creator and having the whole team leave in ashes, at least now, our side still has hope of winning.
Everything is still under control, just a little twists and turns - he thought this way. He refused to admit that this was self-deception. There is still a lot of room for maneuver, and the subsequent outcome can still be considered.
"Call the others." He stretched out his hand, and the ring of the Supreme Lord of the Rings lay quietly in his palm.
You can still win.
As long as the Supreme Lord of the Rings is still in his hand, Sauron will not die completely, and the Central-Continent team will not be able to leave. They must confront themselves head-on, whether they want to win or escape.
Then, just follow the steps.
He tightened his hold on the hand holding the precept.
And the next moment, from the sky. A dull roar echoed in all directions!
'boom--! ! ! ’
The giant tree rooted in the void is spreading, and the dormant fruits are nourished. Now that the connection between the seed and the fruit has weakened, let the seed grow, germinate, and become stronger. Even if the gods have to pay actual power for this, at least they can make the two worlds contact each other again and collide again!
