However, such a thing doesn't exist in this world. Those people are just a group of ordinary superhumans. But Christine usually doesn't doubt Adam's words, so she believed Adam's words and didn't say anything more.
But Adam was struggling this time. He felt he had changed, no longer as righteous as before. It was somewhat similar to his encounter with the red kryptonite in the previous world, yet different. Therefore, Adam didn't know whether he had been betrayed or if he had truly changed.
Christine noticed that Adam's complexion was a little off and asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Adam realized what Christine was saying and shook his head, saying, "I'm fine. I was just thinking about something. Don't worry, I'm very strong and it's impossible for me to get sick."
Christine nodded with some skepticism and said, "I understand. By the way, isn't the Stark Industries Annual Show this Friday?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes, Tony has been preparing for the Stark Industries Annual Show for months, and it's finally about to begin. He's been saying there's something he's surpassed Dad on, but he's never shown it to me. I think he'll probably show what he's been talking about at this year's show." After the topic was changed, Adam didn't go back to his own affairs and naturally started talking to Christine about the Stark Industries Annual Show.
As Christine listened to Adam talk about the annual exhibition, she secretly observed him. She felt that something was off about Adam, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was. Therefore, she decided to investigate Adam's behavior in secret to see if he was being influenced by something.
Christine knew that no matter how angry Adam was, he wouldn't torture the other person as badly as the news reported. Christine trusted Adam completely on this point. Moreover, if Adam really did it on purpose out of anger, he would tell her this frankly, because Adam had never hidden anything from her so far.
Adam noticed that Christine seemed a little distracted and asked, "Hey, honey, what's wrong?"
Christine smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I just think you're very cool when you talk about business."
Adam laughed and said, "Really? I think so too."
After hearing this, Christine punched Adam lightly and said, "You're so vain. Alright, since you're going to help Tony today, hurry up and go. It's getting late." Then she gently kissed Adam.

Chapter 175 Adam Out of Control
Ps:
My house is being renovated, and I don't even know if I'll be able to update again when I get back. Here's one chapter for now!
Adam ignored Christine's excuse that it was getting late, seemingly suddenly seized by a sudden urge. He hugged Christine tightly, showering her with kisses, and quickly stripped the half-hearted Christine of her resistance, beginning their encounter right there in the living room.
Although Christine felt very comfortable with Adam, she was somewhat worried about his feelings, because normally Adam wouldn't suddenly do something at a crucial moment unless the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.
About an hour later, Christine watched Adam leave the house, return to her bedroom, pick up the gadget Adam had given her that allowed her to contact Athena directly, and summon Athena.
Athena revealed herself, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Ugh, you're so annoying! What's up?"
Christine ignored Athena's tone and asked very seriously, "Athena, I feel like Adam is acting strangely. Have you noticed anything? And what was he doing when you contacted him yesterday? Tell me in detail!"
Athena was taken aback and asked, "What did you say? You said the director is acting strangely? How could that be! He's perfectly fine. He even had a big fight with you this morning. Humph, what could be wrong with him?" It seems Athena had witnessed the fight, which might explain her displeasure.
When Christine heard Athena mention what had just happened, her face flushed slightly. "It's because of what happened that I felt Adam was acting strangely! Didn't you notice that he was acting differently than usual?"
Athena tilted her head and asked, "What's different? It's still the same old moves! I think the problem is with you, humph. You were just lying on the bed looking so comfortable, and now you're starting to doubt my master!"
Christine's expression turned serious, and she said in a low voice, "Athena, stop fooling around. I'm talking to you about something serious. Haven't you noticed that something's not right? Putting aside how hard he hit you yesterday, he clearly said he promised to help Tony, but in the end, he only cared about that. And when I pushed him away just now, he looked very unhappy. I think there's definitely something wrong here!"
After hearing Christine's detailed explanation, Athena remembered what she had seen yesterday and asked in confusion, "Could it be that Master is really in trouble?"
Christine said with a serious expression, "I'm 100% sure he's been affected by something. Find a reason to check on him, and you'd better find out where he went! I'm worried he might do something outrageous."
Athena was taken aback and said, "No way. Although Master has been affected by something, he has only become somewhat cruel. He wouldn't do anything outrageous."
Christine said with a grim face, "We can't be sure about this right now, so you'd better check where Adam went!"
Seeing Christine's expression, Athena said, "Alright, I'll go check it out right away. Hmm, you were right. Master didn't go to see Tony at all. He's been flying aimlessly in the sky, looking like he's in a bad mood. I'll go talk to him and check on his health while I'm at it!"
Christine nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. By the way, if Adam says anything offensive, don't take it to heart, because that wasn't his intention!"
Athena snorted and said, "Of course I know. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to check on my master!" With that, Athena disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Christine's eyes flashed with intense killing intent. She said, "Adam, I will not let your reputation remain in your own hands. And that unknown being, whoever you are, I will find you and pulverize you. I have not sworn an oath not to kill like Adam did." As she finished speaking, a magic circle instantly formed beneath her feet, but quickly collapsed.
"Damn it, my divine power hasn't recovered at all, I can't use advanced magic at all, that damned demon god of hell! Could this also be a conspiracy of the demon god? Sigh, I can only wait for news from Athena, I hope Adam hasn't caused any trouble." After saying that, she sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate in order to quickly recover her magic power. Since she couldn't use her divine power because it was exhausted, Christine could only use magic.
Meanwhile, Adam was feeling particularly annoyed today. He had finally found the time to enjoy a romantic day with Christine, but before he could even get into the swing of things, Christine kicked him out, which left Adam quite displeased. Therefore, he decided to go for a walk to see if he could relax.
Adam continued flying aimlessly through the sky until he found a game that amused him: taking pictures of couples having secret rendezvous from the air, then throwing the photos at them and enjoying their dumbfounded expressions. He even bought a camera specifically for this purpose.
They were playing around happily when suddenly he heard a very familiar figure approach and land on the building in front of him. This made Adam very confused as to why this Spider-Man was looking for him.
"Hey, Spider-Man, what brings you here? Are you struggling against that supervillain and need my help? Sorry, I don't have time for that right now. Sorry to disappoint you."
Why is Spider-Man here? It's simple: Adam's prank has caused quite a stir down below. They all think Superman has gone mad, filming himself everywhere and throwing his own stuff down, which greatly annoys them. Since they can't beat Superman themselves, they figure they'll let the government deal with him. Thinking this, they picked up the phone and called the police.
By the time the police arrived, Adam had already flown away, so someone had to use some special methods to find Spider-Man. Well, okay, it was Peter's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, who overheard her father complaining that Superman was crazy and went to find her boyfriend to check on him, which is why Spider-Man ended up here.
Spider-Man was speechless upon hearing Adam's words and said, "That's not the reason, Mr. Adam." Before he could finish speaking, Adam rudely interrupted him.
"Call me Superman, Spider-Man, don't call me by my name. Can't you see I'm putting on my uniform?"
Spider-Man, after hearing this, apologized helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit I was wrong, Superman. So, can you tell me what you've been doing? Are you wondering what happened to you?"
Adam said unhappily, "What do you mean you were wrong? Humph, forget it, I'm not going to argue with a loser like you. Hey, Spider-Man, move aside, I have other things to do. You're blocking my way. Ugh! Damn it, they got away. What a pity, we lost a work of art."
Upon hearing Adam's words, Spider-Man knew something was wrong, because the Adam Stark he knew wasn't like this. So he said seriously, "Mr. Superman, wake up! You seem to be having some trouble!"
Adam curled his lip and said, "I'm in trouble? Hmph, yes, I am in trouble. Do you think you can help me?"
Spider-Man, thinking Adam was genuinely willing to talk to him, laughed and said, "Of course I can help, because we're friends."
Adam snorted and said, "Who said I'm your friend? Humph, don't try to claim kinship with me. I keep running into people like you everywhere I go, and you can't help me anyway! You'd better get out of my way, or I won't let you off so easily next time!" With that, he instantly accelerated, grabbed Spider-Man who was stunned by Adam's words, threw him away, and left without even looking back.
Just as Adam threw Spider-Man out and returned to the sky, idly wondering what to do next, Athena appeared beside him and asked, "Hey, Master, what are you doing in the sky?"
Adam was overjoyed to see Athena and said, "Hey, Athena, what game should I play? How about I go say hello to the plane? There's a plane flying towards me not far ahead. If I suddenly appear next to them, it'll definitely give them a fright, haha!"
Athena knew immediately that Adam had been completely affected by something unknown, and quickly advised, "Master, wake up! Don't let some strange thing control you. You're a superhero! How can you be affected by other things? No, I'm going to see what's affecting you today!" With that, she prepared to activate the examination program in Adam's suit to thoroughly examine Adam's body.
Chapter 176 On the Sky Carrier
P.S.: First update. I've been busy with work and haven't had time to write. What's worse, my house is being renovated. Ugh! I started renovating before even finding a place to live. I'm such an idiot! Waaaaah, I'm buried under the dust!
Also, I did write some recaps of the previous chapter, but you can see that the new chapter is more detailed than the previous one. However, I stopped doing that at the request of some readers. Please don't accuse me of padding the word count or cheating, because I wouldn't earn much from it!
Upon seeing Athena, Adam said, "Ah, it's Athena. What are you doing here? Did that woman send you? Humph, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or I'll turn my back on you."
Athena shook her head and said, "Master, I know this is not your own thought. Wake up and don't let these things control you."
Adam snorted and said, "What a nag! Get lost. And go back and tell that woman I'm done playing around with her. I'm giving her that house! How boring. She doesn't even want to wash up before getting intimate. Nobody likes you." He then continued flying forward.
Hearing Adam's cold words, Athena, though knowing he was influenced by something, still felt a pang of sadness and said, "Master, how could you do this? Has your love truly lost to evil?"
Adam, feeling extremely annoyed by what he heard, waved his hand and said, "Enough, Athena, go back! Hmph, weren't you ignoring me? Go back to your core program and research your magic, hmph. What's the use of looking at something you can't play with! Get out of here!" With that, he unilaterally severed his connection with Athena.
At Adam's house, Christine was meditating in the yard. Because it was daytime, Christine's magic was recovering exceptionally quickly. In the half hour after Athena went to find Adam, she had already recovered about 30% of her magic. With about two more hours of meditation, she would be able to fully recover her magic. Although it wouldn't be as powerful as when she used divine power, it would be more than enough for Adam, whose magic resistance was very low.
Just then, Athena appeared in front of Christine and said, "Christine! I'm back."
Christine opened her eyes and asked, "Did you find anything? And what is Adam doing right now?"
Athena pouted and said, "I found out. I just chatted with him for a while. Then I took the opportunity to investigate the master's body and found that he seemed to be in a very excited state. What caused the master to be in this state was a strange ability that appeared on the surface of his brain. The instruments in the battle robe were not enough to examine that energy in detail, but now we can confirm that the master was affected by that energy."
Christine snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "So someone really is behind this? Humph, don't let me find you. Damn it, by the way, what is Adam doing?"
After hearing this, Athena chuckled a few times and said, "It seems that Master has started to dislike those couples because you just rejected him. Whenever a couple wants to be intimate, he appears, takes pictures of them, and then throws them out of the air."
Christine sighed, "As expected, I did stimulate the energy within him. Sigh. Athena, keep a close eye on Adam. Don't report back to me unless he does something too outrageous. I need to recover some strength first. Then I'll go find him and resolve this matter completely."
Athena nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand, but I think you'd better hurry up, because I feel that the master is about to lose patience. If I hadn't just come out and distracted him, he would definitely have caused some accidents." Then she told her about Adam's plan to play around with the pilot.
Christine said, "Okay, I understand. You keep an eye on Adam and let me know immediately if anything happens. Oh, and help me contact the X-Men. I think they should be able to help us get him out of New York before he makes a mistake!"
Athena's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she said, "Great, let's do it that way!" Then she disappeared, seemingly preparing to go directly to X School.
Christine sighed softly upon seeing this, saying, "I hope they can help. Alas, if I still had my divine power, I could return to the Temple of the Sun and recover all my magic in a short time." After saying this, she closed her eyes again and hurried to recover her magic.
So what was Adam doing at this time? You probably wouldn't guess what he was doing. Okay, enough with the filler, I'll just tell you directly: Adam was sitting on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier chatting with Maria Hill.
Of course, if we ignore the agents lying on the ground groaning incessantly and Nick Fury, pinned to the wall by steel bars and with a flushed face, this could be considered a very romantic date.
Unfortunately, reality is cruel. Adam doesn't seem to be popular on this carrier, otherwise so many people wouldn't be staring at him from a distance with weapons. Of course, Adam completely ignores them. In his eyes, everyone on the carrier is less important than the shy and lovely girl in front of him.
Of course, if Maria, sitting in front of Adam, knew what Adam was thinking, she would definitely spit coffee in his face and might even roar, "What do you mean by 'all smiles'? I'm blushing with anger because of you!!!"
"Adam, what exactly do you want?" After a moment of silence, Maria Hill spoke, breaking the eerie atmosphere.
Adam shrugged and said, "What else could I do? I just missed you, so I came to chat with you. It's that simple!"
Hearing Adam's words, Nick Fury, pinned to the top, nearly fainted from rage. He roared, "That's all?! Adam Stark, are you kidding me?! You stormed into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier, defeated almost half the guards, and entered the control room, and now you're telling me you just wanted to chat with a woman? Do you think I'm an idiot? It's just that I didn't agree to your request, did you have to make such a fuss?!"
Adam tossed the shorter steel bar in his hand and said, "That's right, I'm just here to chat with Hill. What can you do about it?! Believe it or not, and even if I hit your men, so what? I'd rather!" With that, he threw the steel bar and stuck it into Nick Fury's head.
With a loud bang, a steel bar pierced his ear. Nick Fury didn't care about that anymore; he glared at Adam with a ferocious expression. He said, "Adam Stark, are you really going to war with S.H.I.E.L.D.? Have you thought this through? You're not alone; you have a girlfriend and a brother!"
Adam's eyes flashed coldly at Nick Fury's threat, and he said, "Are you threatening me, Nick Fury?" Perhaps due to a mysterious energy, Adam's thinking had changed, but precisely because of this, he could no longer tolerate Nick Fury's provocation. His right hand tightened, and he crumpled the steel bar he was holding into a ball.
Seeing that Adam was truly enraged, Maria Hill quickly stood up and said, "Adam, calm down. The director was just saying things in anger. Didn't you come to chat with me? Come on, let's find a relatively quiet place to talk properly. We haven't seen each other in a long time, have we?"
Hearing Maria Hill's words, Adam finally suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and said, "Alright, I'll give you, beautiful lady, some face. Otherwise, you might be retrieving your Sky Helicarrier from the sea tomorrow, along with your director who looks like a miner."
Maria Hill had actually noticed Adam's unusual behavior the moment he barged in. After all, she was the only one on this helicarrier who had actually met Adam; the others were merely people she had heard of. Therefore, only Maria Hill noticed that something was amiss. Coupled with the information she had just received, she was certain that Adam seemed to be controlled by something.
Unfortunately, Nick Fury is a suspicious man. Therefore, when Adam arrived at the Helicarrier, he assumed they were there to cause trouble. He immediately ordered his men to open fire to stop Adam from entering, resulting in the scene where nearly half the guards were shot down. Fortunately, Maria Hill's cries for help brought Adam back to his senses, preventing anyone from being seriously injured. This suggests that Adam himself was struggling against a mysterious force, but due to its bizarre and powerful nature, he managed to hold onto his principles.
Enough with the chit-chat, let's get down to business! When Maria said she wanted to speak with Adam alone, Adam smiled and let Nick Fury go. Then, after telling the agents at the control panel not to make any rash moves, he took Maria Hill out of the command room and went to Maria Hill's bedroom.
Upon entering the bedroom, Maria Hill appeared somewhat nervous. She knew Adam seemed a bit off, and was afraid he might do something—and you all know what that might be!
"Hmm, have a seat, I'll get you a cup of coffee!" Maria Hill broke the silence after noticing that Adam seemed a little quiet after they went in.
Adam looked at Maria Hill with adoration and said, "No, I don't want coffee, because I know there's something in this room that tastes even better than coffee!"
Maria Hill was startled by Adam's blatant flirting, but quickly regained her composure. Although she loved Adam Stark very much, she also realized that the Adam she knew was not the one she loved; he was merely being controlled by something.
"Alright, Adam, stop fooling around. Tell me, what do you want to see me about?" Maria Hill was about to change the subject.
Unfortunately, Adam's actions thwarted Maria Hill's plans. Adam used his super speed to appear behind Maria Hill, gently embraced her, and whispered in her earlobe, "Don't change the subject, Maria. I know you like me. You might not know, but I investigated you before and know that you are an excellent and strong woman. If you didn't have feelings for me, you wouldn't have accepted the missions Nick Fury gave you time and time again."
Maria Hill leaned limply against Adam, shaking her head and saying, "Yes, I do have feelings for you, but that's all. If you don't continue, Adam, I'll look down on you!"
Adam shook his head and continued his actions, saying, "No, you're lying, Mary. Your body is more honest than you are. Don't resist your heart, Mary. I know you love me, I know what you want right now! Say it, say it out loud, Mary!!!"
