Creation Of All Things-Chapter 44: Adam And Selene 5 Final Part

Adam cracked his neck, rolling his shoulders as his golden circuits pulsed brighter. His expression was calm, but his eyes burned with something sharp.

"Yeah," he said simply. "Round two."

Selene's grin widened.

Adam exhaled. "Stop holding back."

Selene let out a breathy laugh, shaking her head. "Nah." Her golden eyes glowed fiercely. "If I do that, you'll die instantly."

Adam blinked once. Then—he smirked.

Boom!

They moved at the same time.

The battlefield exploded under their combined force. The very air shattered, space distorting like glass under a hammer.

Adam appeared first, his fist already swinging—

But Selene twisted, narrowly dodging, her body melting into the shadows. She reappeared above him, tendrils bursting from her back, lashing out like spears.

Adam blurred, shifting between reality like static, weaving through the strikes. One tendril nearly grazed him—

Boom!

His counter came in an instant. His palm struck the tendril mid-air, and the entire battlefield rippled as the impact force shattered everything around them.

Selene barely landed before—

Crack!

Adam's knee drove into her stomach.

Her body bent slightly from the hit, but she didn't fly back—

Because her hand was already gripping his wrist.

Her golden eyes met his, and she grinned.

Boom!

A shadow tendril slammed into his side, launching him across the battlefield.

Adam flipped mid-air, skidding to a stop on an invisible energy platform. His golden circuits pulsed again, brighter this time.

Selene wiped her mouth, licking off the golden blood.

Then she disappeared.

Boom!

She was in front of him before the sound even registered.

Her fist swung—

Adam ducked.

Her knee came up—

He twisted, barely avoiding the strike.

But before he could counter—

Boom!

A wave of pure darkness erupted from Selene's body, swallowing everything.

Adam vanished inside it.

For a moment, silence.

Then—

Crack!

The darkness split open.

A golden streak tore through the void, parting the shadows like a blade.

Adam shot out, golden circuits burning like a second sun. His body flickered, shifting, moving faster than space could react.

Selene barely raised her arms before—

Boom!

His fist crashed into her jaw.

For the first time—

Her body flew.

She twisted mid-air, catching herself on a floating piece of debris.

Her head tilted, tongue running over her teeth.

She spat out golden blood.

Then she laughed.

Adam exhaled, shaking out his hands. "Better?"

Selene wiped her mouth, grinning like a lunatic.

"Yeah," she whispered.

Then—

The world shattered.

Selene's aura surged, and reality cracked. The sky itself twisted, turning black, the battlefield stretching and warping under the sheer weight of her power.

Adam's circuits flared in response, golden energy crackling around him like a living storm.

Neither of them spoke.

Then—

They vanished.

Boom!

They clashed mid-air, shockwaves ripping through the battlefield. Every punch sent ripples through reality, every impact distorted space itself.

Selene's strikes carried the weight of shadows, the force of collapsing stars—

Adam's movements shattered the very concept of time, his fists moving faster than causality.

They weren't fighting anymore.

They were tearing reality apart.

BOOM!

A deafening voice tore through the battlefield, shaking the very air.

High above, the sky split open with a crack of thunder. Lightning danced wildly, illuminating the figure that had appeared in the storm-filled night. Franklin hovered in the sky, hands clasped behind his back, eyes sharp as the storm itself. At that moment, he didn't look human—he looked like a god of thunder descending upon the earth.

"Enough."

His voice alone sent a ripple through the battlefield. The lingering shadows twisted. The broken ground trembled. Even the air itself seemed to hold its breath.

"Look around you," Franklin said, his gaze sweeping over the wreckage. "And you call yourself a family head? Getting riled up by a couple of kids?"

His words were aimed straight at Selene.

She clicked her tongue, clearly annoyed, her golden eyes narrowing. She had been enjoying herself, soaring through battle with a worthy opponent, only to have it all ruined by this old man. Her glare was sharp enough to cut steel, but Franklin didn't so much as blink.

Then, he turned to Adam.

Even though Selene hadn't been using her full power, the way Adam stood his ground against her—unshaken, relentless—made something stir in Franklin's chest.

Pride.

The boy had turned out well.

Lightning flashed again, illuminating the battlefield in stark white. Franklin exhaled, his voice steady.

"This fight is over."

Selene scoffed, flipping her hair back as her golden eyes dimmed, returning to their usual dark shade.

"And who the hell are you, old man?" she said, arms crossed, a smirk tugging at her lips. "Last I checked, you should be off somewhere in your family house, holding one of your boring meetings. Isn't that what you love doing?"

Franklin's frown deepened. The sky growled with him.

CRACK!

Lightning streaked across the heavens, bright and wild, as if the storm itself had taken offense.

"Watch your mouth, girl," Franklin said, his voice sharp as the thunder that followed. "Just because we hold the same title doesn't mean you get to speak to me like that."

The pressure in the air thickened. The storm rumbled, waiting.

"Old man, shut up," Selene said, her voice dripping with impatience. Dark energy poured from her like a storm ready to break. "I just want my stuff back. I don't care if I have to burn this whole place down to get it."

Franklin's jaw tightened as he met her glare. Then, slowly, he turned his gaze to his grandson.

Adam.

The boy he hadn't even known existed until a few hours ago.

And now, here he was—caught in the middle of something far bigger than he should be.

Franklin wanted to say something. Anything. But what?

He had already failed his daughter. He had no idea what to say to her son. One wrong word, and history could repeat itself.

So he stayed silent.

Selene smirked, tilting her head slightly. "What's wrong, old man? Cat got your tongue?" Her voice was laced with amusement, but her eyes held nothing but cold indifference. "I know what you're afraid of. So just step aside and let me handle my business."

She turned back to Adam—

But he was gone.

Her smirk vanished.

Alice's furious voice shattered the silence.

"You see what you've done, old man?!"

She spun toward Franklin, eyes blazing with anger and something deeper—hatred.

Franklin's breath caught as he turned to where Adam had been.

Nothing.

Only empty space.

"…Oh."
