Adam 1

"Born of mother Earth, let thee take in the Wind of wisdom, drink deep of the Water of life..."

Avicebron's voice echoed through the battlefield. His voice wasn't loud nor did he shout, but strangely enough, everyone could hear the spell for the preparation of his Noble Phantasm.

However, even if they heard Avicebron's voice, no one stopped him since all of them were busy on their own.

"A brand of Fire shalt rests in thy hand, removing thee from the Devil of disease. Thy rancor shalt sunder thee, yet thy love shalt cleanse thy blood..."

The ground began to tremble.

"Let thee be a colossus, soaring amongst the highest peaks. Let thee be stone, unyielding and firm. Let thy form befit thine office... our guardian, our leader, our great foundation..."

A huge figure slowly appeared in the middle of the battlefield.

"Thou art of earth yet not of earth, of man yet not of man. Thou shalt rest in paradise. Thou shalt rule it, for we would be led to its gates by thee. Thou art Dream. Thou art Hope. Thou art Love."

At that moment, the shape of this huge figure was almost clearly seen and magic power was gathering around this huge figure.

"Thou art the First Man, bearing the Holy Spirit Ruwach... thy name be Adam."

When this spell finished, a giant gradually stood straight and appeared in everyone's eyes.

The giant in front of them was a golem about fifteen meters in height.

The appearance of the golem wasn't that much different from the general golem that was usually seen. The whole body was made of rock, soil, and trees. It looked extremely heavy. With its huge size, it looked like a huge mountain in the shape of a human.

The moment it stood up, everyone could feel that this golem was alive and everyone started to notice the change around the ground this golem, no, it was more than that, it felt like the whole world started to change with the appearance of this golem!

"OOOOO!!!"

With the roar of the golem, the center of the battlefield where the golem was standing, started to change.

Flowers, grass, roots, and various plants were growing wildly at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The flowers and grassland that was touched by the golem's feet, started to grow and bore fruit at the fastest speed, emitting a sweet aroma before those fruits ripen then fall on the ground.

Various animals such as birds, animals, insects, etc, appeared out of thin air, like a pilgrimage, came from various places before converging in the direction of the giant, and wandering around it constantly.

Not only animals and plants, even the scenery, itself, began to come alive, the air began to permeate with a sweet fragrance, bringing a sense of happiness to everyone.

No one was fighting anyone on the battlefield anymore.

Whether it was a Magus, a homunculus, a golem, or a Dragon Tooth Soldier, all of them seemed to be moved by the miracle in front of them, stopped their movements, and looked at the direction of the giant golem with a tremble on their bodies.

There was one feeling that they felt the moment, they saw this golem, and that feeling was...

Yearning.

If the meaning of life lies in the pursuit of one's own happiness, then the greatest happiness in this world appears in front of everyone.

Such a sentence was recorded on the bible, and on the bible, there was also a record about the place where the first human, Adam, had lived, the place where they could get their happiness easily, the place where they yearned for, Paradise (Eden).

The world centered on the giant golem was gradually turned into a paradise.

It was like setting off from the great life that was about to be born.

The existence of this giant golem was like a miracle, the moment, it appeared, it felt as if the whole world were happy and praising its existence.

However, it was normal since the golem in the center of this battlefield was the first human that was ever born, Adam.

Avicebron, who learned golem all of his life, was able to achieve the dream that he had ever dreamed in his life. It could be seen that his mood was good, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart, forgetting his unpleasant talk with Haru before.

Then the golem's voice was heard once again, causing everyone to forget, the fight which happened in this place, looking at the giant, and fell into a state of trance.

Even the golems and the Dragon Tooth Warriors, which were without self-awareness, also started to approach Adam involuntarily, just like those birds and animals.

Adam's aura was so magical that if Magus and homunculus couldn't wake up in time, then they would end up like the animals who were involuntary moving toward Adam.

There were only a handful of people who could stay sober without being moved by Paradise.

Even so, the servants on this battlefield also couldn't look away from Adam, including both Raikou and Karna whose fight had been stopped by Haru before.

"This is..."

Raikou knew that Haru was about to do something, but...

'Does it have anything to do with this?'

Raikou looked at Karna and knew that she was in a fight with him, but...

"Is this Caster of Black's Noble Phantasm..." Karna murmured then turned his head toward Raikou and said, "If you want to go then go.

"You want to run away?!"

Even if Raikou had been stopped by Haru, the blood of Indra on her body couldn't let go of Karna

Karna didn't care much about Raikou's question and retracted his spear which caused Raikou to frown even more.

"Your master, no, a lover is over there." Karna looked at Raikou and somehow felt a bit jealous when Raikou had such a master.

Raikou also felt worried about Haru. She took a deep breath and also retracted her katana. "Let's postpone our battle."

Karna nodded and said, "Yes, it is a shame to decide the winner and loser now." He looked at Raikou and said, "Moreover, I want to have a battle with the strongest Mystery Slayer, not with an "Oni" within you."

Raikou, whose hand was still holding her katana, clenched it tightly and frowned further.

Karna turned his back as if he didn't notice this.

"The purpose of this war this time is to capture the Holy Grail. Now that goal has been achieved, you're not yet ready to fight me. That's it.

"Hopefully, when we meet again next time, we can truly decide the victory and the defeat of our battle."

Leaving such words, Karna turned into a burst of light particles before disappearing.

Raikou stared in the direction of Karna's disappearance, then raised her hand and looked at her palm. Her expression was somewhat afraid and depressed.

"...Am I still an "Oni"?"

Raikou felt a bit scared when she thought about what Haru was about to say to her after this, but she knew that this wasn't the time to dawdle since she needed to help her dear.

---

On the other hand, except for Raikou and Karna, the rest of the servants on the battlefield also stopped their movements.

"That golem...!"

In the forest, Chiron's face was solemn, looking at Adam.

"That bastard! How dare he interrupt my duel with the teacher...!"

Holding a spear in his hand, Achilles, who was standing on the opposite side of Chiron, looked very annoyed.

"Avicebron...."

There were countless iron stakes standing around him, piercing each of Dragon Tooth Warriors, and golems, Vlad III stood among them with a gloomy expression.

"That's... Adam..."

Even Atalanta, who was standing beside Avicebron, was startled and the expression on her face also changed when she saw the giant golem which was summoned by Avicebron.

Haru, who had returned, didn't care about Adam but looked at his hands with a speechless expression since he didn't expect that both Karna and Raikou would be this strong. He could see that there was a wound on his palms because he caught their weapons with his bare hands.

"Mystery Slayer..."

Haru had to admit that Raikou's skill was a bit unreasonable, but he could think about that matter later. He looked up and saw the giant golem, his expression was quite calm, then he looked at Avicebron who stood on the shoulder of the giant, and stroked its cheek lovingly.

"You're finally born! The original man!"

Avicebron's voice was full of excitement!

"The dream that I have been pursuing for many years is finally realized at this moment! Let's turn this world into a paradise, Adam!"

Avicebron became even more excited that he even raised his hands high.

"Let's destroy this ugly world! Let's destroy this ugly society! Let us help the whole world and all mankind!"

His words were full of passion, then Avicebron lowered his head and cast his sight on Haru.

"First of all, let's start with ---"

Avicebron suddenly saw that his head was separated from his body. He stared at Haru and said, "Even if you kill me, Adam won't stop!" His body then turned into a particle of light before disappearing and was defeated in an instant by Haru. He didn't have any regrets since his dream was achieved, but then again, he wanted to see his Adam destroy Haru before he was killed.

Holding the knife in his hand, Haru easily chopped down Avicebron's neck easily. His knife after all wasn't a normal knife, but it was Chiyo's knives, who was known as one of the best chefs in the world of Toriko.

After all, Haru was a chef, so he didn't mind splurging his points on the Group Chat to buy a knife. There was an even more expensive knife, but he needed to save his points first.

However, it wasn't the time for Haru to think about this matter since the giant golem which had lost its master, started to target him since it was the last order of Avicebron before he disappeared.

Holding the knife in his hand, Haru had heard that in some areas there were some people who used soil as a part of cooking. Looking at the giant golem in front of him, he was wondering what was the taste of food which was cooked by using the soil from this giant guy.
