Adam's deep voice was like a giant hammer striking the base from above, his enormous single eye flashing with indifference and the arrogance of one who controlled all.
The base's dome was easily torn open, and a bleak sky mixed with the stench of the flesh carpet poured in, as a colossal Giant of Light looked down like a god upon the ants within the base.
Adam's form had long blurred the boundaries between matter and energy, radiating infinite light and heat!
The moment he appeared, all the culture tanks in the base shattered, and countless Rei Ayanamis formed a human shield with their bodies, standing in front of Shinji Ikari.
Li Yu's body slowly floated up, facing the Giant of Light.
Adam did not immediately attack Shinji Ikari; his giant single eye stared at Li Yu.
"Are you the new generation Hunter? Who gave you the courage to come to my world?!"
Li Yu's lips curved slightly.
"Heh, and who gave you the courage to appear before me?"
In Li Yu's eyes, a line of red text was clearly displayed above the head of the Giant of Light, Adam.
"[Fallen Reincarnator: ID px278001121, Tenth-Tier Reincarnator! Experienced 31 Reincarnation Spaces, Attributes: Strength: 3.2 million, Agility: 2.2 million, Spirit: 1.8 million, Constitution: 7.6 million, Divinity: 10 points!]"
Li Yu understood; no wonder Gendo Ikari had deviated from his original fate. It turned out he had long been possessed by a Fallen Reincarnator.
These Fallen Reincarnators seemed to be able to replace the identities of some plot characters. Li Yu couldn't help but wonder how they managed to do it.
Adam let out a low laugh.
"I'm not a half-baked god like the Thunder God or Corpse God; I am already the true god of this world. Everything you see is my Divine Kingdom!"
A trashy existence with ten points of Divinity dares to call himself a god?… Li Yu grew even more disdainful.
Adam didn't notice at all and continued, "Do you know, your head has a bounty of 20 billion credit points on the Pantheon!"
Pantheon. Hearing this, Li Yu suddenly became a little interested.
"You mean, there are many weak gods like you?"
Adam immediately felt insulted. He roared, "Die!"
The Giant of Light's single eye flashed, and a thick, black-red death ray suddenly appeared, heading straight for Li Yu.
Adam's attack came without any warning, and he chuckled inwardly.
"What third-generation Hunter? He's nothing special. The Thunder God and Corpse God are truly useless; I'm ashamed to be mentioned in the same breath as them!"
Just as the death ray was about to hit Li Yu, its speed suddenly slowed down in an unnatural way. The death ray moved slower and slower, eventually stopping completely in front of Li Yu.
Immediately after, the death ray began to change color from its source. Under Adam's and Rei Ayanami's incredulous gazes, the death ray quickly condensed into a giant ice pillar!
With a bang, the ice pillar directly dissipated into countless ice crystals in the air!
Li Yu didn't even bother to make a move; Adam's strength was at most at the level of a Silver Saint.
He said indifferently, "Hand over the spear of longinus, and I will leave you with a complete corpse!"
Adam grinned sinisterly.
"You have some skill. You want the spear of longinus? That is key to my ascension to the peak! It's on the moon right now; I'll send you up to get it!"
Adam's body rapidly expanded. The next instant, a massive shockwave comparable to the largest nuclear explosion instantly appeared on the planet. This was Adam's strongest move, World-Ending Impact. When the First Apostle awakened and went berserk back then, he used this move to wipe out half of humanity on Earth.
Boom!
A five-pointed star of bright yellow light shot straight into space.
The entire underground base was instantly vaporized, and within a radius of several hundred kilometers, all the flesh carpets were completely carbonized!
The Rei Ayanamis activated their AT Fields, desperately protecting Shinji Ikari. From time to time, a Rei Ayanami, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist!
"Hahahaha, tiny Hunter, meeting me is the biggest mistake of your life!"
Adam unleashed his power. He was now far more powerful than when he caused the Second Impact in Antarctica back then.
As the light faded, Adam's wild laughter abruptly ceased.
Li Yu stood before him, his clothes completely undamaged, with only a few ice crystals drifting in the air!
If it weren't for the tens of thousands of naked young women below, Li Yu wouldn't even have bothered to use an ice shield to prevent his clothes from being damaged.
The shockwave that had once killed half of humanity couldn't even break Li Yu's ice shield!
Li Yu raised an eyebrow, commenting indifferently, "All show, no substance!"
In the Saint Seiya World, due to the existence of the Gods' Oath, the first lesson all Saints had to learn was how to control their power.
For a Saint, a wide-ranging shockwave like Adam's was like a gentle breeze, causing no harm.
Saga's single Galaxian Explosion unleashed hundreds of thousands of times more energy than this attack.
Seeing that his strongest attack could not harm Li Yu, Adam's voice trembled slightly.
"I know! You… you must be an illusion! Your true body isn't here!"
Despite his words, a black-red AT Field quietly lit up around the Giant of Light's body.
At the same time, a gold-edged card quietly appeared, emitting a faint golden light in the air!
In a mysterious room within the Reincarnation Space, several hooded Reincarnators suddenly stood up.
"He's appeared! The Hunter is in the Light God's world! Quickly inform Number One!"
...Li Yu's figure instantly dematerialized. There was no earth-shattering commotion, only a pure burst of speed!
Adam's AT Field, the diamond-shaped light shield hailed as an Absolute Territory, didn't even have time to glow before it was directly pierced by a figure that surpassed its sensory limits!
"How is this possible?!"
Adam only managed to let out a gasp of astonishment in his mind.
Li Yu was inside the Giant of Light. He extended a finger, carrying a concept that could freeze all things, an Absolute Zero coldness compressed from pure, extreme cold energy, and directly pierced into the Giant of Light's core, which was composed of high-density energy!
Hiss!
It was like a red-hot iron plunged into ice, or a solid bolt of lightning striking water!
The Giant of Light's massive body suddenly stiffened, and the light that formed its body flickered violently!
The huge core in his chest, the source of his power, was instantly covered and frozen by a layer of indestructible, deep blue ice crystals radiating Absolute Zero coldness!
The ice spread like a living entity, at an incredible speed, through Adam's limbs and body!
The edges of his light body began to distort and blur, like a bad signal. The energy and matter that composed him stabilized under the absolute low temperature, gradually solidifying into ice.
"No! This is impossible!"
Adam's consciousness roared madly within the Giant of Light, as he felt the fear of his soul being frozen.
His power, which he prided himself on and was capable of destroying the world, was as fragile as a candle under Li Yu's gentle touch, completely unable to move!
Below, No. 9 Rei Ayanami's perpetually calm expression showed astonishment for the first time!
Her ruby-like pupils suddenly contracted to pinprick size, and her normally smooth, unruffled eyes now clearly reflected the massive Giant of Light struggling in agony as it was encased in ice high in the air.
She subtly took half a step back, her perfect, slender body, wrapped in a tight suit, trembling slightly from the immense shock to her mind.
"This... this kind of power..."
