I won’t say that But in that state he should be able to promise eternal pleasure to the brains – or minds really – that he has locally collected

As they continued walking they accidentally stepped in a black stain Lucia did not seem to mind but Ange found it gross and quickly stepped around it

Machina was already used to avoiding others as she walked so she never stepped in one to begin with

From what I can tell 98% of the humans in the world have entered the same state she said with her phone to her ear

She was not actually speaking with anyone she was gathering global information over the network

That’s a lot said Ange

It actually makes me curious about the remaining 2% said Lucia What’s happened to them

Anyone piloting airplanes ships submarines or anything else that would cause harm if it lost control has been spared But once they arrive at the airport harbor or coast contact is lost

I guess that’s what happened to them

They glanced over at the nearby road

There were a lot of cars on the road but none had gotten into an accident They were all stopped on the side of the road with their shift lever in park their parking brake on and their headlights off Every one of the cars had come to a safe stopand there was a black stain on the inside Not one of the 98% who had disappeared had been attacked

They had all ensured their own safety and chosen for themselves to become black stains

A being was gathering people’s minds – that is the Fruit of Wisdom

What was that thing formed from the boy named Fujita Mutsuki Ange and Lucia had no word to define it An angel and demon like them were familiar with what the human world interpreted as god but not even that god could do this There were of course plenty of things god could do which this being could not but there was one major point in common between him and god

They were revered

No they were loved

The small amount of Adam’s power allowed out by the Serpent’s Eye showed that Adam’s nature was to capture the affections of all women And if Lilith bearer of the other Serpent’s Eye had the opposite nature then she captured the affections of all men Now that they had become one they had created a being that could capture the affections of all humans

It was unclear which one a gay person would be drawn to but as long as they carried the emotion of love they would fall in love with one or the other side of this being Age was not factor A newborn baby and an elderly person breathing their last were no exceptions And once they loved him they lost all ability to resist him

When he asked them to give up their Fruit of Wisdom they would gladly do so and they were willing to let their abandoned body be reduced to mere nutrients – a pile of black flesh They could not defy that being Any who did so would instinctually choose to abandon living But what would happen to the gathered Fruits of Wisdom

They will live forever in the grasp of the one who loves them They will have no thoughts or emotions They will simply be with the one who loves them

Well they must be happy Lucia cackled Thus humanity escaped the age of discord and lived happily ever after in the vat they named Eden

He was clearly making a joke but he also stopped walking

It’s disappointing that Mutsuki chose that woman but if that’s his choice I’ll accept it I’m sure he’ll come for me too eventually But what about you two

He looked to the others

Ange and Machina were hesitant to respond

It was hard to view this as a good thing Something very close to being god had appeared out of nowhere and humanity had been eradicated A hellish scene of a deserted world stained by dark liquid lay before them Their sense of justice told them they needed to put a stop to this But Lucia’s words had greatly shaken them

He had said this was what Fujita Mutsuki wanted

Lilith had no real reason to want this

She was the origin point of all demons and since her name was never seen in human history she must not have done much of anything for thousands of years She had no desire to rule the human world or to eradicate humanity She only wanted to make Adam hers and she had accomplished that

And since that young man was indeed a man it was best to assume Adam’s – that is Mutsuki’s – mind was most strongly in control

And it did seem a lot like Mutsuki to be so oddly thoughtful about not hurting anyone by waiting for people to park their cars or land their airplanes even though he was going to eliminate them anyway This is Fujita ’s answer to the rivalry

He does sometimes take things to an extreme

Their shoulders slumped

This was the biggest reason why FeTUS had not told Mutsuki himself about his role as Adam in the age of rivalry

It was meant to go the way the angels wanted Adam would choose his Eve through a natural process they would come together and have a child and that would bring gradual salvation to Kali Yuga the age of destruction that followed after the rivalry That was the natural system created by god But that would mean a major regression in human civilization so FeTUS opposed it They believed the near extinction of the human race should be avoided even if that was unnatural but if the rivalry led to a nuclear war that would prevent any life from living on the planet at all That was why their plan had been to artificially create the Holy Grail – that is Eve’s womb – implant Adam there and arrive at the source of modern human genetics But to be honest this is the best way of preventing the rivalry Lucia cackled again Even setting aside the deterioration of human genetics humans are a species that kill and steal from each other FeTUS’s plan to prevent the rivalry had been to avoid the short-term threat of extinction and produce new long-term problems such as limited resources when the population exploded

Would Fujita Mutsuki want that If not wouldn’t Adam look elsewhere That was FeTUS’s greatest concern and the reason they had not simply asked for his help in preventing the near-extinction of humanity But perhaps keeping it from him had been the wrong choice

After learning the truth from someone else this was the method Mutsuki had chosen

It’s no good Heaven is being affected too

Ange had pulled out her phone and called someone but there was no response

Just like with Rapha and the other angels the birth of a perfect being was affecting heaven and likely hell as well

This really did turn Mutsuki into someone who is loved by all of humanity and all other forms of life as well Come to think of it I haven’t seen a single cat

There was no sign of animals either

They had a hard time imagining just how widespread these effects were Could they be the only three living beings in the entire world

But a question mark appeared in their minds

Ah Machina looked up while suddenly checking the network A phone is receiving a call in this city

Does that mean there’s still someone here

I am looking into it Give me a moment

She used her phone to check the network and work out what phone was being used

They did not know what this would lead them to but there was not very much they could do at this point

Adolescent Adam 9 Chapter 2 - The Final Discord

N-n-n-n-no no no Wait a sec I can’t deny you’re good looking but we only just met and we should really take things slower Get to know each other first and all that As the faithful guy I prefer to do these things right you know You do not like me

I didn’t say that nor would I ever ever eever But how about we start by introducing ourselves

Tomono Sakae was flustered

He had been playing video games in his room when a naked woman had appeared out of nowhere so of course he was

Was she a white woman He had never seen anyone so pretty and beautiful so when she stared at him with those azure eyes while her long long platinum blonde hair swayed he felt like he was being sucked in toward her He had a casual demeanor but was shy deep down so this was too much for him The most he could manage was to shut his eyes so he could not see her nudity
