Chapter 272 - 269 Adam’s Legacy I (1/2)

V.67 Adam's Legacy

”THEN, CHILD OF ADAM ARC, WHY DID YOU AWAKEN ME?”

Arc didn't answer him immediately, he begins to think back on all the things that happened when they decided to attack Hands of Cain (HOC). There's a lot of things that happened that were out of their expectation. The appearance of faithless and the forgotten or primordial are part of it.

”Sigh, I don't know if you are going to believe me if I told you we were just here to retrieve the things that belong to us.” Arc wasn't exactly lying they are here to complete his quest to get back, Adam's Legacy, and as the name suggest it was an item that belongs to Adam, and as Adam's kin, it means it belongs to him, the only thing is that he didn't know if what they are searching is here in the first place.

Of course, Arc is not going to tell him that.

Arc and Ghidorah weren't exactly hiding their conversation and so the top executives of HOC meaning the pope and the bishops were able to spy on their conversation.

The pope and the bishops were not surprised when they heard Arc answer they know Arc was looking for something, only at first they think that Arc was only robbing them. And hearing Arc's answer it makes sense after all HOC has been gathering, buying, and stealing artifacts for as long as they can remember.

In fact, they didn't really care where or how the artifact comes from. They didn't think anyone is capable of fighting them for it.

”And you and your kin being awakened is a result of that. It was not us who awakens you but the people of this tower, But I cannot deny that I, or we, were the reason for it.” Arc continues to explain.

”AND WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HERE?”

”My ancestor's Legacy” Arc stated.

”ADAM” Ghidorah mumbles.

Ghidorah looks up left and right, seemingly looking for something in his memories. He once again looks at Arc.

”AND DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?”

Arc was going to answer yes, but stop. He didn't know if he got what he was looking for. No, in fact, he felt that he didn't. He looks at Ghidorah he thought of something and smiles.

” We didn't, they must have hidden it somewhere,” said Arc without any emotion in his voice.

”I SEE,” Ghidorah pause and seems to think of something. Looking at Arc ”TELL ME ADAM'S KIN ARC. HOW ARE YOUR ANCESTORS DOING?”

Arc was confused by the question. He didn't know how to properly answer it. Shouldn't they know that Adam and all his children are dead?

~Why is he asking something he already knows the answer, unless~ Arc mind began to think about all the conversation he has with Adam. Although Adam didn't really tell him much but just the conversation he has he can deduce a lot.

”You should know that better than me,” said Arc.

”I SEE,” Arc's answer tells him a lot.

During the war, he heard the most ridiculous rumors. That Adam betrayed the gods. And even stripped them of all their power. It was so ridiculous that back then. He thinks that only an idiot would believe them. Adam and his children are god's vanguards, the gods' most trusted soldiers.

But now thinking about it, why were they imprisoned instead of being executed. He heard the rumor that His ancestor was so powerful that even the gods cannot kill them, so they imprison them instead.

But he knows personally that it was not true. Even if that was true, what about him? Or even Those who are weaker than him, why were they spared? Surely there was no reason to spare them. And yet they are imprisoned instead.

But why? Why would Adam betray the gods? That's the thing that confuses him the most.

”HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR ANCESTOR?” Ghidorah asked with a serious tone in his voice, even the atmosphere changes when he asks it.
