Chapter 33 Norberta's Death

33 Norberta's Death

Adams appeared seemingly out of thin air before Cadmus, blocking the path with an air of nonchalance. His sudden appearance drew gasps from the crowd, who whispered among themselves as they tried to make sense of the newcomer who dared to stand against the Dragon King.

Cadmus frowned, unable to discern the young man's cultivation level. It was as if he were looking at a void, a complete unknown. "Who are you, and why are you interfering in our matter?" he demanded, his voice resonating with authority.

Adams met Cadmus's gaze with an unperturbed expression. "I'm helping a friend, that's all," he replied casually, as if Cadmus were no more than a minor inconvenience.

The Dragon King's eyes narrowed, his patience waning. "Boy, don't regret this," he warned, preparing to unleash a powerful attack, intending to swat aside this insignificant obstacle and reach his son and treacherous wife.

Adams raised an eyebrow, his demeanor calm and composed. "I would have loved to exchange blows with you, but you see, today isn't my day—it's Anderson's. So pardon me if we cannot fight today."

With a casual flick of his wrist, Adams immobilized Cadmus, freezing him in place as if the very world had turned against the Dragon King. The impending attack dissipated harmlessly into the air, leaving Cadmus struggling to move even a muscle. It felt as though the weight of the universe was pressing down upon him.

The audience watched in stunned silence, their beliefs about power and invincibility shattered before their eyes.

"Is that not the Dragon King anymore, or is it an imposter pretending to be the Dragon King?"

"How can that be? We were here before everything started. How can the Dragon King be an imposter?"

"It seems that today, another powerhouse is about to be born."

"You are right, but what will this mean for our Divine Plane?"

"Only time will tell."

Among the onlookers, a mysterious woman with long white hair and striking crimson eyes observed the scene with keen interest. Her mind raced with possibilities, wondering if Adams hailed from a higher plane. His ability to wield the laws of time and space to such a degree was unheard of, even among those she deemed powerful.

Norberta's eyes were filled with defiance, yet she remained silent, believing her defenses would hold.

Taking her silence as a refusal, Anderson hurled the spear with unerring accuracy. It sliced through her barriers with ease, piercing her heart in a burst of flames that consumed her entirely. She had no time to comprehend her death as the light faded from her eyes.

"Well, that was a fast one," Adams remarked, releasing Cadmus from his hold with a casual gesture.

Anderson approached Adams, bowing his head in gratitude. "Thank you for making this possible," he said sincerely.

Adams sighed, waving off the thanks. "Stop all this. Now that everything is done, do you want to have a chat with your father, or should we just leave?"

Anderson glanced at Cadmus, weighing his options. "I think I'll have a chat with the old man," he decided.

"Alright, do your thing," Adams said with a nod. Then, he turned to Cadmus, his expression serious. "And old man, put a leash on your remaining children, lest they die a little earlier than their appointed time."

Cadmus sighed, understanding the truth in Adams's words. "I will do so. This was one of the reasons I didn't want to kill Norberta despite what she has done. And by killing the Lust Empress, that bastard won't take it easily. He is going to try and find a way to get back at you and my son, so be careful."

Adams smirked, unconcerned by the threat. "Let them come. I will just make an empire nonexistent. What is so hard about that?"

Cadmus chuckled at the young man's boldness before he and Anderson moved to have their long-awaited father-son talk.

With the confrontation settled, Adams turned his attention to the two white-haired women who had watched the battle unfold. He vanished from his current location and reappeared before them, startling them with his sudden presence.

"Now, let's have a talk with our visitors," he said, his gaze piercing as he addressed the sisters. "Well, tell me, what are you doing in the Divine Plane?"

The two women exchanged a glance, their eyes wide with a mix of surprise and intrigue. Adams's presence was both a challenge and an enigma, and they knew that their answers would shape the course of their destinies in this tumultuous realm.
