The Qian Renxue within the memory slowly narrowed her eyes as he commanded the huge undead dragons to attack.
Their soul flames surged violently as they let out earth-shaking roars. The massive creatures spread their decayed wings and charged toward Adam from every direction. Hundreds of meters long, they resembled mountains in motion as they sought to tear apart the enemy of their master.
For a brief moment, it looked as though Adam would be engulfed by an endless tide of undead.
Then the sky changed and by some coincidence meteors descended from the space.
Each one was enormous, carrying enough force to flatten mountains.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The meteors crashed into the charging dragons.
Flames and dust rose into the sky as the colossal undead creatures were smashed apart one after another. Within moments, the terrifying undead army had been completely annihilated.
The Qian Renxue within the memory had no intention of standing still.
Golden light burst from beneath her feet.
Her figure flickered continuously as she avoided every falling meteor with precise movements. Even amidst the apocalyptic rain of destruction, not a single attack managed to touch her.
At the same time, her gaze never left Adam.
However, suddenly Adam had multiplied. The entire sky was soon filled with identical figures.
Each possessed the same appearance.
Even divine perception could not immediately distinguish the real one. Without hesitation, Qian Renxue raised her hand.
Golden radiance surged outward.
1st Divine Skill: Light Solidification.
Light flowed like water around her body.
The liquid radiance condensed rapidly.
Swords, Spears, Halberds, Arrows.
Countless weapons materialized throughout the sky.
With a wave of her hand, the endless arsenal descended.
The weapons transformed into streams of golden light that shot toward every Adam clone simultaneously.
The sky became a storm of divine judgment.
Thousands upon thousands of weapons pierced through the battlefield, Clone after clone was destroyed.
Yet Qian Renxue's expression did not relax, because she had already noticed something at the last moment
She had been paying attention to the battlefield ahead. Meanwhile, Adam had been standing to her right all along.
She had unconsciously ignored his existence, as if her mind had deliberately overlooked him.
The realization made her pupils contract.
At that exact moment, a terrifying psychic storm descended upon her.
The attack carried enough mental force to shatter souls and crush consciousness.
However—
Adam suddenly paused for a single second. His expression became slightly distorted.
Countless chaotic whispers erupted within his mind.
1st Divine Skill (Rakshasa Godhead): Evil Whispers.
Her words became murmurs capable of corroding the mind itself. Against weaker opponents, the skill could destroy sanity outright.
Against Adam...It only managed to delay him for a single second.
Yet for beings at their level, a single second was enough.
The instant Adam stalled, Qian Renxue moved.
7th Divine Skill: Light's Reach.
Brilliant light erupted around her.
The illuminated space distorted. Her figure dissolved into countless particles of golden radiance before disappearing completely.
The psychic storm struck empty air.
A moment later, Qian Renxue reappeared dozens of kilometers away. The moment her feet touched the ground, she turned toward Adam's previous location.
Only to discover it was empty.
Her heart sank as Adam stepped out from behind as though emerging from another layer of reality.
His movements were effortless, as if distance held no meaning to him. He appeared not far from where Qian Renxue had teleported.
His golden eyes quietly stared at her.There was neither hostility nor anger within them.
The kind of calm one might show toward a child struggling against an inevitable fate.
He spoke with a gentle voice
"No need to struggle so much."
"When you fall asleep, you will have a nice dream."
Adam's smile deepened slightly.
"A dream far away from all your struggles."
Then, before his eyes, Qian Renxue's body suddenly collapsed.
In less than a second, the beautiful figure transformed into nothing more than a skeleton.
The bones lost all support and fell to the ground with a clatter. At the center of the skeleton floated a single drop of blood.
Radiating an aura that belonged exclusively to Qian Renxue.
Adam's expression remained calm as he watched the scene unfold.
The drop of blood floated gently into the air. Only then did the truth reveal itself.
3rd Divine Skill (Dream and Memories Godhead): Veil of Disguise.
The skeleton had been physically altered using Qian Renxue's blood as the medium.
From appearance to aura, it had become indistinguishable from her true body.
The "Qian Renxue" Adam had been speaking to all this time had merely been a disguised corpse.
Meanwhile, the real Qian Renxue had already escaped.
The drop of blood trembled then it rapidly expanded.
The divine blood swelled like a living organism, violent fluctuations erupted from its surface. The surrounding space began to distort.
The situation changed too fast, before Adam could make a movement, a cold voice echoed from afar.
"Explode"
5th Divine Skill (Rakshasa Godhead): Organic Bomb.
Any flesh, blood or biological matter could become weapons under the authority of the Rakshasa God. The stronger the life force contained within the material, the more terrifying the resulting explosion.
And what floated before Adam was Qian Renxue's blood.
BOOM!
The world turned crimson. A deafening explosion erupted across the undead demiplane.
The expanding shockwave swept through everything in its path. For a moment, the entire demiplane seemed on the verge of collapse.
The observing Qian Renxue felt her heart tremble.
Even though she was merely witnessing a memory, she could still sense the terrifying power contained within that detonation.
Far away from the epicenter, golden light gathered.
Qian Renxue's figure slowly emerged. Her golden hair fluttered in the turbulent winds generated by the explosion.
She stared toward the sea of destruction without any trace of joy.
Her expression remained calm. Then she spoke softly as if giving reply to Adam's previous words
"To live is to struggle..."
