Wilbur could sense the murderous intent coming off the liquid woman and stared at her coldly. "He wanted to kill me. I had to kill him first." "Are you saying that you have to kill both my son and me, then?" Wilbur knew then that the liquid woman was in far too deep to be saved. She had lost all sense of logic, and there was no point in trying to reason with her. "There was only life on Earth because of me, as well as birth and reproduction. But what do I get in return, huh? What have you given me? I gave birth to Adam because I wanted to have children of my own, why did you have to do this to me? Why! Arghhhh!" The liquid woman threw her head back, letting out a howl of fury. Wilbur watched her silently, his heart softening as he could see his past self in her. "Ma'am, I know it's all thanks to you that there is life on Earth. I'd like to ask you a question now, though." "What question? If you can't soothe the pain in my chest, I'll have to kill you. I can lose Earth if it c
Just as the liquid woman's voice echoed through the air, the seawater rose up around Wilbur into four walls that stood hundreds of meters tall. They connected with each other rapidly, forming a cube on the ocean. In the next moment, the seawater that had been flowing along the cube froze solid. A piercing cold spread out, and it was not long before the space in the entire cube was completely frozen. Yet the cold did not stop there, as even the seawater that splashed up within the cube was frozen into a long, spindly pillar of ice. Wilbur, hovering in mid-air, thought that he would not be affected. Just as the thought had entered his head, a piercing chill struck him as frost appeared on his hair, clothes, and shoes. Within the blink of an eye, Wilbur was frozen in place. Having lost the support of his energy aura, he began to fall from mid-air before landing heavily on the ice at the bottom. The ice cracked, and the cold seeped through the cracks as they began to freeze up agai
All four balls of cold air struck Wilbur's body the next second, spreading rapidly and freezing him solid again in the blink of an eye. This time, Wilbur's light barrier stopped him from being frozen solid. The next second, the power of light surged from his body and shattered the layer of ice on the outside. Wilbur summoned the Magic Dragon Blade, swinging it viciously against the ice wall in front of him. A black sword aura struck the ice, but it absorbed the sword aura completely. The attack did nothing to the ice wall, even strengthening it to some extent. Wilbur looked down at the Magic Dragon Blade before sighing and putting it away. The Magic Dragon Blade might be powerful, but it required the power of destruction to wield, which could be absorbed by dark energy. Thus, using the Magic Dragon Blade against the liquid woman was completely pointless. Wilbur summoned the Azure Dragon Spear just as another gust of cold air shot out towards him from behind. Wilbur turned aroun
A golden dragon appeared and attacked the hand. The hand grabbed the attacking golden dragon, and it exploded, blasting the hand into pieces that scattered around the floor. Wilbur scrambled to retreat. The vortex above his head had disappeared when he looked up again, and the broken pieces of the large hand were rapidly melting into the ice. Wilbur scrambled to fly downward, but the floor of the cube had restored itself. He looked up and saw that the hole in the ceiling of the cube that had appeared from the vortex had been restored as well. "F*ck!" Wilbur cursed. Crushing that hand had taken so much effort, and he had thought it would have been enough to weaken the formation, only for the hand to meld right back into the formation. It seemed like the only way to get out now was to use his powers for real. Wilbur had not wanted to do so at the start, as the liquid woman might come up with more powerful moves after seeing what he could do, and he might not be able to hold up th
"I see." The liquid woman looked a little disappointed. "Although you didn't melt the frozen dimension with the power of the light as I had expected, you did manage to break out of it. Thus, you've successfully taken one of my moves. I'm going to cast the second move. Are you ready?" "Bring it on!" "Very well. Prepare for your next challenge, then." The liquid woman raised her right hand, shouting, "You shall be reborn, my sleeping Adam!" As her words rang through the air, the black fog hovering above the ocean suddenly gathered to form three human-sized figures. Wilbur blinked and saw that the three figures looked like Adam. "Mother…" "Your enemy is right here, Adam. You can get your revenge now." "Thank you, Mother." The three Adams looked at the liquid woman at the same time, bowing to her in unison. They turned to Wilbur next, murderous intent radiating from their gazes. "What the…" Wilbur was stunned by the sight of the three Adams. He then turned to the liq
The two Adams had rapidly absorbed the black miasma, causing them to grow significantly in size. They stood on either side of Wilbur, attacking him once more. "It's pointless! You're too weak!" Wilbur stopped holding back and surged with power, hurling out an Azure Dragon Spear at the Adam on the left before charging at the one on the right. Just as he was about to reach Adam, Wilbur threw out a heavy punch. A defensive wall appeared in front of Adam, but the golden dragon appeared in mid-air and pierced through it right away. It sank its fangs into Adam's head, biting it off his shoulders before striking his body with its tail, turning him into a puff of black miasma. Wilbur looked at the Adam on the left. There was no one there anymore. The Adam that had just died had turned into black miasma to be absorbed by the last Adam, who had doubled in size as well. "I'll kill you, Wilbur Penn! Arghhhh!" Adam cried out in fury, charging toward Wilbur. Wilbur clenched his fists, th
Wilbur could hear an ice-cold voice in the middle of the darkness. "F*cking bastard left me stuck here. It's been five thousand years… Finally, someone's going to awaken me. Hahaha!" A raucous peal of laughter mixed with the crashing of waves rang through the darkness as Wilbur opened his eyes blearily. He found that he was floating in the middle of the sea, and the support of his dragon aura was the only thing keeping him from sinking downwards. Memories recounting everything that happened before Wilbur passed out flooded his mind as he looked around. Wilbur remembered the three Adams attacking him at the same time, and he managed to kill all of them in the end. The liquid woman used her third move after that, the Golem, and had swallowed him into her belly. The inside of the Golem seemed like a strange, mysterious dimension. Wilbur could feel himself growing dizzy as he entered it, losing the ability to stand upright as he lost consciousness. By the time he could sense the su
The strength and spirit energy of a cultivator would be much better supported where the energy aura was stronger, and it would help prevent the cultivator from being affected by external forces. This made the seventy-nine years Wilbur had spent in the magical tower feel like hardly anything aside from the passing of time and switching from dusk to dawn. Of course, feelings were unavoidable in the face of returning to a dimension with four seasons. Tenin's voice rang from behind Wilbur, "You finally made it out of there. I guess you've succeeded." "Senior Tenin!" Wilbur whipped around to look at Tenin, who smiled. "Congratulations on passing the magical tower's test, Wilbur. You've proven yourself to be worthy enough to take care of the dangers Earth shall face. It's fate." "Earth…" Wilbur mumbled to himself before asking, "Senior Tenin, can I know how things are on Earth? Can I really save it?" Tenin smiled wordlessly, raising a hand to gently swipe at the air in front of
