Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 475: Holy Angel

This final fortress was something that Adam had never heard of, so it was definitely a top-secret entity, perhaps even something that the Gaia Organization didn't have complete control over.

This was an intriguing thought that had occurred to him as an intuitive reaction on a psychic level, and it had arisen in his mind as he caught his first clear glimpse of the building up ahead.

After disembarking from the railcar, his body instantly reverted back to Mummy's original size, and the railcar continued to chug onward for a few dozen more meters before suddenly vanishing into thin air.

Even with his sharp telegnosis, Adam had no idea how the railcar had disappeared, but that wasn't his focus at the moment. He could feel countless pairs of eyes scrutinizing him from all directions, harboring all types of complex emotions, but at the same time, they were keeping their distance, refraining from attacking.

This was a terrible feeling, and Adam invoked Ogress to scout the area, instructing to fly as high as possible, but it was only able to reach an altitude of around a kilometer before reaching an invisible ceiling.

The area was also only around a kilometer wide on each side, so the only way for him to proceed was to advance forward.

Looking at the white building that appeared as if it had been constructed from marble, Adam took a deep breath, then spread his runed bandages to set up layers of protective barriers before stepping forward with a determined expression.

As soon as he took a step forward, his surroundings instantly transformed, and he arrived in a pristine white space with an enormous figure that was over a kilometer in height in front of him.

Its appearance was very similar to Angel, except its entire body was completely white, and there were three pairs of wings on its back, with every single feather formed by countless faces. Furthermore, it was holding a giant claymore that was as massive as a skyscraper, and its eyes were tightly shut.

What is this place? And what is this thing? An anomaly?

Adam couldn't help but draw a sharp breath at the prospect of potentially having to face such a seemingly insurmountable being in battle.

……

Inside a tall building on a planet owned by the Gaia Organization in the Metaverse, there was a hall that was as massive as a sports stadium, within which tens of thousands of employees all wearing the same uniform were busy at work.

On a large screen directly up ahead was an image depicting Adam's current situation. Madam Tree was wearing a crown woven from branches while holding a staff in one hand, and beside her were many men and women of different appearances, all of whom were watching the unfolding scene on the screen while sitting on high back chairs.

"He went in just like that?" a middle-aged man exclaimed as he watched Adam pass safely through the warzone in the railcar.

"That's way too unfair! Those things didn't try to attack him at all! Is he really just a blank slate?"

"I strongly suspect that he has something to do with the failure of the Alpha God project. Otherwise, there's no way to explain all of this," someone else speculated.

The Alpha God project was a top-secret AI generation project of the Gaia Organization, and if it had succeeded, it would've allowed the Gaia Organization to rule over the entire world.

Unfortunately, it had failed, not because the AI couldn't be activated, but instead because it didn't achieve the projected outcome.

Out of all of the people who knew of the project, Madam Tree held a different opinion from everyone else, which was that the project hadn't failed. Intead, an unprecedented change had arisen.

Sure enough, as they were conducting a comprehensive review of the underlying data, they discovered a strange isolated area in the Metaverse, one that could connect with the psychic power of adapters while also containing the electronic entities created by the Digital Life project.

She made a bold prediction, which was that this area definitely contained the results of the Alpha God project, but in order to uncover the truth hidden inside, they had to bypass all of the layers of defenses around it.

The Gaia Organization had gathered tens of thousands of the top talent in the world to solve this problem, yet even to this day, they were still unable to crack the case. They had only managed to find the entrance and decipher much of the internal logic, proving that this was indeed a product of the Alpha God and Digital Life projects.

However, it was still unclear how these two were able to contain a psychic world, and this was something that they desperately wanted to uncover as their pursuit of world domination hinged on unveiling these secrets.

Ultimately, it was a joint decision from Madam Tree and Mr. One to take a gamble on Adam,and as it turned out, they had made the right choice. Everyone was staring at the large screen with bated breath, watching Adam step into completely unchartered territory.

All of a sudden, the screen turned completely white.

"We've lost sight of the target, but the psychic signal is still registering as normal."

"The target is still in the interrogation room, and all his vital signs are normal."

"Keep monitoring him, and don't alert anyone else to what's happening," Madam Tree instructed in a calm manner, displaying more patience than everyone else.

……

Adam looked up at the massive angel before him with astonishment in his heart.

It seemed that this place was the angel's domain, and it was entirely filled with holy light and the sound of a faint holy choir. Adam's psychic world was being directly affected, striking him with a sense of discomfort.

Its power seems to be very effective when it comes to suppressing certain anomalies.

With that in mind, Adam made the bold decision to separate from Mummy before withdrawing it into his body, and sure enough, he immediately felt much better.

He then invoked Hellhound, and as soon as it appeared, the giant angel's eyelids peeled back ever so slightly, releasing a vast burst of holy light that struck Hellhound and almost destroyed it on the spot, and Adam hurriedly withdrew Hellhound as well with an alarmed expression.

The power of that burst of holy light was already comparable to Hebi no Miko's most powerful attacks, and it was even more formidable than Masao Yamamoto's Blade of Annihilation. Much to Adam's dismay, it appeared that he wasn't going to be able to use the majority of his anomalies here, so how was he going to be able to fight?

.

There was no time for him to think as the angel seemed to have been awakened by his actions, and its eyes opened up wider and wider, releasing two bursts of holy light that encompassed Adam's entire body, making it difficult for him to lift even a single finger.

This thing had to have been at least comparable in power to a level 10 anomaly!

He instinctively wanted to invoke Angel to face this formidable foe, but his instincts intervened, telling him to refrain from doing so.

Sure enough, the angel didn't immediately attack. Instead, it slowly raised its giant claymore, and its almighty voice rang out across the entire space.

"You have sinned, so you must accept your judgment!"

As it did this, countless memories began to flow out of Adam's psychic body, forming countless images that displayed everything that he had done up to this point since his awakening as a blank slate.

Adam was very surprised to find that many of these images were unfolding from a third-person perspective, as if it had been captured by surveillance cameras, and he couldn't help but wonder why this was the case.

All of a sudden, he thought of that mysterious figure who had always been helping him from the shadows, that near-omnipotent being who had always provided him with key information at important times. Did this have something to do with them?

All of a sudden, all of the images faded with the exception of the one where May, Renee, and he had slain the Angel of Death, as well as the images of him putting the elderly residents of the retirement homes out of their misery, and the ones depicting the actions that he had taken to expose the Digital Life scam.

"You have also done good!"
