Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

It seems that Adam himself is an artificially created doll. Her attack did not seem to destroy the core of the doll, but only opened a hole, revealing the mechanical device inside.

"A doll... to call it a doll, and with such a condescending tone! Damn it, something's definitely wrong. Why should an imperfect creature like you be more favored by the gods!"

Just as Lingyi was analyzing the situation, Adam, who had finally come to his senses, felt an overwhelming surge of anger rise within him after realizing the current situation and hearing her words.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Adam at Full Power

Adam, in his true form, was a discarded doll—the prototype of "human beings"—made before the prehistoric era.

The reason given for his dismissal was that he had "already been completed to the fullest extent."

Although Adam possessed all the functions and abilities that the Creator sought, conversely, he lacked everything else.

Therefore, the Creator judged Adam to have "no possibility of progress" and temporarily shelved the matter of formally adopting him as "human being".

Although Adam was supposed to be crushed, he broke free and escaped before that could happen. The Creator, having lost interest in him, ignored him, and Adam was able to disappear into the background of history.

After that, his feelings for the Creator coalesced into the idea of ​​"transcending the officially adopted incomplete group (human species) and standing shoulder to shoulder with the Creator."

However, what he found even more intolerable was the existence of a human girl known as Zero.

That is an existence with properties completely opposite to his.

If Adam is a naturally powerful being who has reached perfection and has no possibility of further improvement, then she is a being who is extremely fragile from birth, yet encounters almost no obstacles in her growth and progress.

Before meeting Zero, Adam was able to maintain his self-esteem and pride by claiming that his complete self was inherently stronger than those of the imperfect group.

But when he encountered her in the prehistoric civilization, silently observing her rapid progress over those few days, this reason could no longer convince him.

[Unacceptable, unacceptable, how could I possibly accept it? That an incomplete being could surpass a complete being through growth? How could I accept such a fact?]

With this in mind, Adam attacked her, attempting to prove the correctness of his own beliefs.

But it failed, an incomprehensible failure.

He was clearly stronger and faster than her, and her strength was so weak before the battle began.

However, during the battle, he analyzed all of his own capabilities at an extremely fast pace.

Then, using those weak tools, they launched various targeted attacks little by little, in a repetitive manner, to break Adam's body and, at the same time, his confidence.

Hmm... what exactly is this thing? It seems to be intelligent. Let's take it back and ask Sister Shenming what's going on. Ah, it ran away...

So, Adam, who had almost suffered a crushing defeat, faced the girl who remained calm and composed throughout, and with all his might, he sped backward without daring to look back.

For a long time after that, Adam was in a state of autism. If it weren't for the mysterious disappearance of the gods who arrived shortly afterward, and the disappearance of Zero himself not long after, he probably would have remained in a state of autism forever.

The sudden and shocking change gave Adam a new idea.

If one could obtain the power of the legendary creator, it would not only prove that one's own existence is perfect and the creator is wrong, but also allow one to become the ruler of those imperfect groups.

To this end, Adam founded the Bavarian Society of Light, using the achievements of others to make up for his own inability to grow, and in turn, to forge the legendary power of the gods to empower himself.

However, this idea has now suffered a fatal setback.

Adam couldn't understand why Zero, who had disappeared for so long, would reappear and block his path to seizing divine power.

"Stop joking. How could something incomplete possibly be above complete? The truth is that completeness dominates incompleteness. Without the help of the gods, I will not lose to you in a head-to-head competition!"

Roaring angrily, Adam flipped his hand, and a huge amount of energy gathered in his palm. He then unleashed a fully charged Golden Alchemy at Zero Clothes in front of him.

"Hmm... God, it seems you know some information that I don't. Flash Blade Technique: Disruption Ripple, logically speaking, did you see me in a prehistoric civilization?"

The blazing gold-forged fireball bombarded Zero, who was clad in azure armor, but it could not advance any further. It was firmly blocked outside the ripple barrier, and as the ripple barrier diminished, it became smaller and smaller.

"Intelligence, tell me, in prehistoric civilizations, what kind of existence lurks deep within my spirit, not only difficult to eradicate but also constantly resurrecting, and also possesses some... characteristics like these?"

Adam's seemingly genuine behavior piqued Lingyi's interest, causing her to halt her attack and begin questioning him.

She had long been interested in Finna's apparent familiarity with her, but she had never paid much attention to it, thinking it had no real impact or significance at the moment.

But things are different now. In the process of controlling humans, Lingyi discovered that there seemed to be something foreign in the structure she controlled, but she could not find it even after she conducted multiple self-checks.

Therefore, Lingyi suspected that this might be related to something that she might have existed in a prehistoric civilization, so she began to pay more attention to this aspect in her subsequent actions.

Therefore, when faced with this puppet that seemed to know about some ancient civilizations, Lingyi did not immediately engage it in battle at full power, but wanted to see if the other party could provide any useful information.

"Mental...resurrection, rebirth, hey, these characteristics?!"

Upon hearing Lingyi's description, Adam seemed to realize something.

Then, under Lingyi's gaze, his expression suddenly turned extremely terrified, as if he had heard some news that horrified him to no end.

"It's too late, it's too late! Has it already begun? Has it started its return? No, no, no, there's still a chance! If we can destroy any potential descending entities he might have!!"

Adam looked at Lingyi with a terrified expression.

During his time in hiding, he had heard some things about the event that forced the gods to leave Earth. Although he was not very clear about the specific information and situation, he did know a little about the characteristics of the enemies the gods faced and some of the time points.

Therefore, after learning those details from Lingyi, he immediately understood what had happened and realized the urgency of the situation. If they didn't fight to the death here, the debate over complete versus incomplete would be trivial; a far more terrifying entity would awaken from the past.

"Ok?"

Lingyi found it strange, not understanding why Adam's gaze towards her had suddenly changed so drastically.

"Hold back? No, no, we can't hold back anymore. It's too late, there's no time left. Right here, we have to fight with our backs against the wall!"

In a panic, Adam's gaze was fixed on Lingyi, but not on her; rather, it seemed to be fixed on something terrifying behind her.

Before Lingyi could react, the observation data from Lingkong showed that Adam's young male body had begun to expand violently from the inside, and countless dark tentacles proliferated from Adam's wounds, bombarding Lingyi.

"It seems you do know something, but it appears you don't intend to tell me."

Zero blocked the tentacle's attack. Zero looked at Adam, whose pupils were glowing red, and made this judgment: for reasons she did not understand, Adam seemed to have entered a state of fighting with his back against the wall.

"There's no need to say more. We can no longer waste our power maintaining this perfect form. Even if it means returning to this ugly state, we must stop the Custodian's (Dominator's) arrival!"

The mass continued to increase from the inside, bursting through the young man's body. A short while later, with a huge energy fluctuation, it exploded outwards, standing on this earth in a form completely different from the original Adam.

"I don't want others to see me like this, but I can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!!"

With horns on its head and multiple eyes, this demonic alien, resembling an ugly black goat, howled mournfully, unleashing its energy to declare itself to Zero.

"So that's how it is. This is Adam Weshill's true form. Its strength... ugh, pfft—"

Before she could do any further analysis, Lingyi felt a tremendous force strike her inner armor, sending her flying into the sky before she could even defend herself.

Without giving Lingyi any time to react, the enormous black goat arrived above Lingyi at a speed beyond its massive size, and hurled a huge fireball made of gold at her, far exceeding the speed of the previous ones.

boom-

"Hmm... He's really strong. I must say, no wonder he's the head of the Bavarian Light Society."

A violent explosion followed, revealing Zero's figure. Her Zero Void Armor was shattered, and the projection of her floating unit was temporarily unable to be maintained due to the direct impact on her abdomen.

This is Adam Weshout's true strength, a power far beyond the realm of reason.

The reason he hadn't used his full strength before was twofold: firstly, Adam needed to expend enormous energy to maintain his beautiful physique; secondly, he was aware of a certain fact.

If he were to truly unleash his full power in front of Lingyi and still fail to kill her in this state, then after revealing that he had given Lingyi enough information, the next person he would face would be a fully prepared Lingyi who would absolutely not give him a chance to retaliate.

So, initially, he planned to seize the power of the gods and use that invincible power at the level of an agent to completely crush Lingyi, leaving her no chance to escape.

However, there's no time to waste now. Even without certainty, we have no choice but to go for it. If we don't kill Zero here, his dream of standing on equal footing with the Anunnaki will ultimately remain just a pipe dream.

"I won't give you a chance to analyze; I'll kill you before you even grow up, just to prove that I am completely right!"

Without holding back, multiple eyes were fixed on Lingyi's clone below. A complex, fiery red magic circle gathered in Adam's hands, and from top to bottom, Adam launched a full-scale bombardment at Lingyi.

After the bombing subsided and the smoke cleared, Adam breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked into the depths of the giant crater he had created and at the tattered blue armor scattered around.

But he knew he couldn't rest yet. This was just a clone of Lingyi, and he had to rush to Lingyi's original body and kill it immediately, or he would be the one to fail.

"Ah, I must say, not bad. After all, this is the first time since I completed these armors that someone has been able to shatter my armor, and it was the Zero Void Armor with the strongest defense that was shattered."

However, the sounds reaching his ears, and the girl walking towards him from not far away, told Adam that his battle here was not over yet.

Damn it!

Seeing the unharmed girl, Adam realized that without being able to bypass the opponent's clone, he could not finish the battle quickly.

"Well then, let's see. Will you use up all my armor and weapons first, or will I find a way to defeat you before that, Adam Weshower?"

Covered in crimson heavy armor, Zero transformed into his Ryouri form, pointed his orange-red longsword at the black alien in front of him, and declared his battle cry.

"Ono-rae, Zero-i!"

There's no need to say anything more. At this moment, there's only one thing both sides need to do: exert all their strength and wage a life-or-death all-out battle.

"Flash Blade Technique: Reigniting the Blazing Flames".

Zero-Cloth was the first to launch an attack, reigniting the flames. No longer in its external form, it charged forward in its most original fiery form, its crimson longsword slashing at Adam's blocking arm and severing one of his arms.

"Is this all the attack you can do?!"

However, the moment after severing an arm, Lingyi noticed that fleshy growths were spreading wildly at the crimson cut, and within moments an arm had regrown and was hurtling towards her.

"Its hardness isn't particularly high, but its resilience is very strong. So, X-005 Armored Armor: Quesna, Flash Blade Technique: Scissors Clash."

Without time to think, Zero dispelled the Ryouri Armor, which was not good at defense, and switched to the Quinei form, which was better at all-around combat armor. The mecha's limbs steadily blocked Adam's attack, but the joints had begun to creak.

"I won't lose when it comes to strength!"

As he said this, the massive black alien body began to press down on Zero, and the already creaking joints of the armor seemed unable to withstand such a huge force.

"Quesnay isn't just armor for wrestling."

In response, Lingyi simply stated the facts calmly, and in the next moment, before Adam could react, the khaki armor began to multiply, emitting a yellow light, and in a short while, it formed a solid khaki cage.

"Hmm... First, control him, then use the spare Zero Void Armor to extract information from him properly."

Looking at Adam, whose movements were temporarily restricted by Quesnay, Zero made this plan.

"You think you can trap me with this toy?!"

"Ah, it's not that easy after all, but I still need the intelligence... Troublesome."

Watching Adam break free of Quesnay's restraints and howl to the sky, Lingyi felt somewhat helpless. She understood that she probably couldn't finish the battle quickly either.

Chapter Thirty: Choices

In an undetectable alternate dimension, the enormous floating castle, the city of Tifori, sits.

In the central hall of this floating castle, a blonde, blue-eyed girl wearing a tall, pointed black and red hat and a blue robe with soft white trim, sitting on the throne in the center of the hall, opened her eyes.

"The time for a counterattack has come."

The signal was sent.

In order to seize the opportunity and use alchemy, Carol has been monitoring the spiritual vein activity 24 hours a day. Just now, she detected a huge fluctuation in the spiritual vein flow near the city of Difuzhine.

Within the spiritual vein, a vast amount of energy is converging towards an extremely distant direction. For Lingyi, the current controller of the spiritual vein, to make such a massive mobilization, there is no doubt that something beyond her control has likely occurred.

In other words, this is the moment for them to launch a counterattack. With Lingyi busy with other matters, this is their only chance to gather their strength and defeat that abnormally strong girl.

"Is it enough to just install this linker, Death?"

Inside the hall, after hearing the information given by Carol, Xiaoqiege, who was holding a green needle-free syringe, spoke as if confirming something with someone.

[Yes, after improvements, its usage is similar to that of the Linker. Simply inject it into the body to complete the fusion with the relic, allowing you to wear the Symphogear as usual.]

However, due to a lack of sufficient experimental conditions, the process of fusing the artifact fragments with the artifact may be accompanied by unknown rejection reactions, which could lead to death in severe cases.

So, Qiege, are you sure you've thought this through?

After confirming Xiaoqiege's question, Finney, hidden deep within Xiaoqiege's heart, gave a final reminder.

If Xiaoqiege backs out now, she will have one last chance. Once she injects this reagent, there will be no turning back. She will be speeding towards an extremely dangerous area.

"Die...no, I absolutely won't die. I have to bring Lingyi back. She can't die. And, I've already stopped hesitating about Death."

Having pondered and endured for months, Xiaoqiege, despite still showing some unease on her face, did not hesitate to inject herself with the tube in her hand.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh"

Immediately, an intense burning sensation, accompanied by immense pain, spread from her heart throughout her entire body. At this moment, Akatsuki Kirika experienced the same pain that Tachibana Hibiki had once felt when fused with a relic.

.....

boom

Violent explosions and shocks erupted one after another, with blazing flames, ripped rocks, turbulent winds, and bursts of water creating a breathtaking spectacle in this rarely visited rainforest.

Adam Weshill is arguably the strongest opponent Zero has ever faced alone.

When fighting her opponent, she needs to constantly change her armor to deal with different situations, as she cannot suppress her opponent by relying on the power of a single armor.
