Chapter 569

Noel sneered, “Zeon, do you think I would trust you? Right now, you only have two choices, either surrender without a fight and come back to the Gavel family to stand trial, or I’ll let this brat be buried alongside you.”

Adam clenched his fists, his nails dug deeply into his palms, blood dripped through the gaps of his fingers, yet he felt completely oblivious to it, he looked at Morwen, those eyes, full of concern and courage, seemed to give him endless strength, he knew he could not fall, and he certainly could not allow Morwen to be hurt.

“Fine, I promise you,” although his voice was calm, the bitterness within it was hard to conceal.

He slowly lowered the spear and walked toward Noel step by step, every step felt as if he were treading on the tips of knives, agonizing and heavy.

“Don’t come over here, go to my Patriarch, I won’t let you get close,” Noel was not stupid, he feared a sudden attack from Adam, which he definitely wouldn’t be able to parry.

Adam’s face darkened, “So this is your so-called righteousness, relying on threatening an innocent little girl.”

He stopped just a few paces away from Noel, his gaze was like a torch, piercing through the hypocritical mask and shooting straight into the twisted heart beneath, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only Noel’s smug laughter intertwined with Morwen’s faint sobbing, sounding exceptionally jarring.

“Justice?” A cold sneer hooked the corners of Adam’s mouth, that smile contained both mockery for the absurd rules of this world and helpless resignation to his own fate.

“If this is your so-called justice, then I am willing to use everything I have to shatter these hypocritical shackles.”

The Evil God’s power within Adam’s body surged once again.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if conversing with the darkness deep within his own heart, seeking the resonance of a certain power.

“Big Brother Zeon, it’s okay! Don’t let yourself be controlled by them because of me!” Morwen shouted recklessly, tears blurred her vision, but she still struggled with all her might, trying to break free from Noel’s grip, although her voice was weak, it was like a ray of warm spring sunlight piercing straight into Adam’s heart.

Right at this critical moment, Adam abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils had been completely replaced by crimson red.

“Zeon, it’s alright, this is not your fault, they are the true demons, even if you kill them all, it will not be your fault,” the woman in the white dress’s gentle voice rang out again.

It was like a spring breeze soothing Adam’s soul, yet the Evil God’s power outside his body grew even stronger.

“Young Master Noel, do you really think you can control everything?” Adam’s voice was deep and powerful, he was no longer constrained by the threat, with an entirely new stance, he regained the initiative.

“In this world, there are always some things that cannot be measured by strength or threats.”

As soon as his voice fell, that invisible power erupted, transforming into a dazzling light that instantly enveloped Noel.

Amidst his shock, Noel only felt a powerful force binding him tightly.

“If you have the guts, slit Morwen’s throat, once your only bargaining chip is gone, let’s see how you’ll survive,” Adam’s eyes were cold and merciless.

The sword in Noel’s hand trembled, he didn’t dare to slice down, doing so meant he would definitely die as well, his life was so precious, how could he trade it for this little brat’s?

The sword lost control and clattered to the ground.

Morwen seized the opportunity to break free, stumbling into Adam’s embrace, the two looked at each other and smiled, that tacit understanding and trust reached their peak in this moment.

The Patriarch’s expression changed drastically, he had never expected Adam could find a way to break the deadlock in such a desperate situation.

Because of Noel’s cowardice, the situation that had just been reversed was instantly dominated by Adam once again.

As the sword clattered to the ground, the tense atmosphere seemed to be torn apart, and a far more intense contest quietly brewed.

Adam’s eyes still flickered with crimson light, the symbol of the Evil God’s power, as well as a reflection of his unyielding resolve.

He gently patted Morwen’s back, offering silent comfort, before turning to face the Patriarch and the restless Gavel family members.

“Today, I will let you all witness it, true power is not used to threaten the weak, but to protect justice.”

His voice resounded through the clouds, every word contained an irresistible power, moving everyone present.

The Patriarch’s face turned livid, he knew today’s battle was unavoidable, his hands formed seals, and the giant cauldron once again emitted a dazzling light, as if intending to devour everything.

Adam merely chuckled, that smile was full of confidence and a thirst for victory.

“A mere mortal object dares to flaunt its might before me?”

Adam whispered, his figure flashed, appearing beside the giant cauldron like a phantom, with a light wave of his hands, a powerful energy fluctuation spread outward with him at the center, the light on the cauldron actually began to dim, as if suppressed by an invisible force.

The power system of this world was very weak, someone at the Patriarch’s level was only roughly equivalent to the peak of the mortal supreme realm.

Compared to Adam, who was corrupted by the Evil God, it was still far too inferior.

Even though he had only just stepped onto the path of cultivation in this body.

The Patriarch turned pale with fright, he had never seen such bizarre power.

Adam did not stop there, his figure moved again, appearing right in front of the Patriarch, he threw a punch, carrying the momentum of destroying the heavens and exterminating the earth.

Bang!

The Patriarch was forced to retreat continuously from the shockwave, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Adam in disbelief, how did this young man’s strength suddenly increase again?

Adam was confused as well, ever since the woman in the white dress appeared, his strength had been continuously growing.

“Patriarch!” The Gavel family disciples exclaimed in shock, they wanted to step forward to assist, but the powerful pressure emanating from Adam made them shrink back.
