Chapter 373 - Great Change
It was an unexplainable feeling, but the best way for Adam to describe it, was that he could feel large amounts of energy in one place, along with lots of it being used.
Energy couldn't be created or destroyed and after being absorbed and stored within the body, could be unleashed through many different ways and that energy would return to the atmosphere.
After returning to the atmosphere, it would spread around in different forms, but the large use of and collisions of energy was very alerting for a cultivator, especially one with sharp senses.
Adam had suppressed his senses from reaching outside of the mountains that he had stayed in with his master, however now that he had left seclusion, he had spread them as far as they could go.
However, that wasn't necessary to be able to sense the commotion that was occurring as it was so large that any average cultivator would be able to sense it and gauge what direction it was coming from.
It was clear to Adam what exactly was occurring and he knew that the Sentinel Faction's growth along with that of the Maxwell and Epstein Family would draw in many enemies, however, he hadn't expected a war to break out so soon.
But with his current power, there was nobody he knew of that could even land an attack on him let alone defeat him, so Adam wasn't worried about not being able to defeat whoever was opposing his friends.
What he was worried about was whether he would make it back in time as he dashed towards where he sensed the large amounts of energy as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, Shinka had returned to the underworld and reported straight back to her uncle who was the boss of her Death Wraith Unit along with multiple other units.
There were thousands of such units in the underworld and the positions of leadership and rankings within the Death Corp were clear, and also allowed anyone to progress as long as they had worthy achievements and capabilities.
As soon as she appeared before him, using her Spacial Affinity to be able to pinpoint an accurate place to teleport to, he immediately became angry.
Since he was her uncle and she was also the only one in the unit that had the capability to pinpoint the location their portal would lead to so accurately, he immediately knew that it was Shinka who was about to appear before him.
He sensed the sudden fluctuation in the energy around him long before Shinka appeared, and nobody would dare to appear before him other than his niece as he didn't get into his position through his family alone.
"Shinka, you took so long. Were you wandering around the city again?" he bellowed.
"When will you learn. It is time for you to grow up and you are no longer a child. It is time for you to finally take some responsibility for your actions and prepare yourself for becoming our next leader" he continued.
He had a stern and angry expression on his face, which he would usually have, however when he looked at Shinka, he was surprised to see that she had lowered her head and was being respectful.
Since he was her uncle and she had grown up with the senior figures within her family spoiling her and treating her well, knowing her future potential, she was very comfortable around him.
Because of that, she would usually be very disrespectful towards him, considering that he was the boss of her unit and also wouldn't take his words or punishments seriously, knowing that he cared about her very much and wouldn't go through with it most of the time.
However, the sudden change in her behaviour was confused as she didn't seem upset and also didn't argue back.
"I understand uncle. From now on I won't disappoint you anymore and will hard towards being as great as I can be in the name of the Horned Death God Clan. I have been too immature, but it will change from now on and I appreciate you always scolding me and trying to help me be a more worthy individual" she stated.
Her words were genuine, passionate and heartfelt, surprising her uncle who was then further surprised after seeing her face when she looked up at him.
The look in her eyes was one that was greatly different to how it was previously and also impressed him and he could clearly see that a fire had been lit within her.
The ambitious and mature look in her eyes was too big of a change to have randomly occurred and he couldn't help but wonder what exactly the cause for the change was.
He had previously thought that she had been wandering around aimlessly and exploring the human city that she had been sent to, knowing that she would usually do such things due to her curious and careless nature.
However this time, he couldn't tell what exactly happened to her or what she had been doing, but he decided not to ask her about it and was glad that whatever happened, did.
The change she experienced was exactly what she and the family needed and each day that went past without her using her full potential was a massive disadvantage for their clan.
As a God Clan, there were standards and a reputation that must be upheld and was known throughout the universe, so with all the pressure resting on the hope of the clan, she could either become an incredible figure in the universe due to the pressure, or be broken by it.
He was expecting to have to tell her off more, but she impressed him and he allowed her to leave without any more scolding or a punishment, but he still kept the angry expression.
She respectfully left her uncle's office and returned to her duties and training, diligently striving to improve with her clan and Adam in the forefront of her mind.
