Chapter 222: Mojito in hand


    After those two Pantheons, Adam had almost resolved all the major problems of Earth, as in the strongest gods. From his talk with Odin, Adam had discovered, that there were only a few top tier pantheons in the world.


    Greeks, Norse, Japanese, Chinese, American and Egyptian. Adam already visited three of the five, and the strongest in the Chinese was Buddha, who had long retired himself from the secr world. Actually, even Adam didn''t know of his existence before speaking with Odin.


    As for America, it was governed by the God of Light, the Christian God. That one wasn''t a problem for his power, but because he dominated America with an iron fist, and was quite extreme. But he was weak, by his own fault. He was paranoid, and did not ept anyone else to be a Golden Idol, meaning all his subordinates, like Michael who came to see Adam, were Nascent Soul.


    The only one who defied those orders was Samael, who became known as Lucifer, his own son. Well, in reality he wasn''t sent to rule on hell, but directly sent to hell. In other words, he was killed. Adam felt nothing but spite toward this God of Light, and he intended to take care of him forst.


    This meant the only Pantheon still able to be a problem to Adam was the Egyptian, which was exactly his next destination. Once there, he quickly understood the problem, and it was called Amun-Ra.


    Using unknown means, Amun, God of the Wind, and Ra, God of the Sun, had merged together forming Amun-Ra, progenitor of the Egyptian Pantheon, and mad.


    Amun-Ra was really powerful, around Zeus'' level of power, but in the end Adam was able to separate the two entities who remained trapped into this fusion for thousands of years by beating them. Hard.


    After their separation, they became a lot chattier, and their spirit became clearer and less chaotic. Ra and Amun were originally a couple, who had their children, before they merged themselves to deal with the threat of the other races back in the day.


    Amun and Ra, as well as their descendants, were grateful to Adam for freeing the two from each other, and epted to retreat like the other pantheons, and to do so without unleashing a swarm of locusts on the poption. Another fit of madness of Amun-Ra back in the day.


    Speaking of which, one who was particrly grateful for Adam''s help was Anubis, the Egyptian God of the dead. Many of Amun-Ra''s crimes in its madness were stered on him. No one would be happy to be used of crimes they didn''tmit.


    Something else the Egyptian Pantheon had agreed to do, much to Adam''s pleasure, was to reign in all the deities of Africa, and pass on Adam''s orders. This saved him a lot of work.


    He really liked this idea, and he didn''t even have to ask the other pantheons to help him apply it. After all, if them, the biggest pantheons, weren''t allowed to rule on mortals, then why would the weaker ones be allowed to?


    Make no mistake, the only reason all of them agreed so readily to Adam''s terms was because he killed Zeus, and so without much of an injury, followed by the defeat of the three Japanese Golden Idols and Amun-Ra.


    Added to that the fact Adam didn''t show any sign of wanting to rule over them, they decided to ept his terms. But that didn''t mean they didn''t want to rule on mortals, just that it wasn''t worth it anymore.


    So they obviously wouldn''t let the weaker ones do so. Moreover, this was a good opportunity to subjugate them, and finally bring them under their rule. Any god who even hesitated to let go of their hold on the mortal world were quickly beaten and turned into subordinates.


    Meanwhile, Adam got back in New York, to finish the job. Thisst god, the God of light, was among the least powerful Legends, but apparently he possessed an artefact that allowed him to be much more powerful than he should be, allowing him to contend with the rest of the Pantheons.


    Adam rested for a while in New York, before he set off for the West Coast. The God of Light knew how to enjoy himself as he lived in Los Angeles, in California.


    Since Virtual Reality became a thing, Hollywood had turned into a big virtual reality centre. With virtual reality bing almost as real as the world, there was no need to act in the real world. Costumes didn''t need to be made either. Nowadays, the movies would be created within virtual realities, and the actors would be able to really enter their character.


    Back to the subject, god was somewhere in the city, but Adam didn''t know why. To a normal person that would have been a problem, but obviously not for Adam. The moment he approached the city he started to feel a huge source of power. Apparently, the God of Light didn''t fear him as he didn''t even try to hide himself.


    Well, Adam definitely didn''t mind. He quickly flew toward the location of the God of light, who turned out to be on the beach, drinking a Mojito. He really knew how to enjoy himself didn''t he.


    While hovering above him, Adam said "You know why I am here, I presume." The God of Light was a middle aged man with greying hair, and currently only had a shirt and shorts on, alongside a pair of flip-flops.


    He looked up at Adam and said "You mortal grew overconfident because you killed the rapist and beat the fool. Fools, my bad."


    Adam sighed and said "I don''t want to waste my time. You have two choices. Retreat from the mortal world alongside your forces like the others, or end up like Zeus."


    The ss in the God of Light''s hands suddenly shattered as he said "As I said, you were too confident in your strength. So much you fell in my trap."


    As he said that, runes suddenly lit up on the ground, forming a giant circle in the sand around Adam. As it formed, Adam felt the surrounding space constrict around him, blocking him from doing any movement.


    The God of Light pped his hands, and the next moment tens of people showed up. All of them had wings in their back, they were the famous Angels under the God of Light.


    However, Adam, who had seen real angels in the past, knew with a nce those were nothing but hybrids, and were far from real angels.


    The God of Light revealed a twisted expression as he said "Trapping you is really too simple. Be killed by your pride, what a shame."


    However, Adam showed no surprise or panic, and instead sneered "Do you really intend of killing me with them? They may be Nascent Souls, even a strong Golden Core could kill them one on one. It seems facing only trash gave you a wrong perception of what real strength is."


    The God of Light sped his hand as a wave of power exploded out of him, and he said "Form the Lightbringer formation and kill him!"


    The Angels began umting power as they took a specific formation. Meanwhile, Adam, still frozen by the nearby space, looked at one of the rings on the God of Light''s hands and said "So your famous artefact is this ring. It allows you to make powerful formations. Interesting."


    The God of Light''s face changed for a second, before he said "So what if you know? You are going to die anyway."


    Adam rolled his eyes and looked at the formation. The time it took to assemble the formation made it useless in a real battle, but the power he felting from it was quite impressive. However, coupled with the Locking Space formation that forbade all movement in it, it became a deadly weapon. Unfortunately for them, they used the wrong formation to trap him.


    A minuteter, the power finally reached it''s apex, and the God of Light clenched his fist. This caused the ring on his hand to emit a small wave of power that triggered the formation. A ray of light the size of a fist appeared in front of the formation and pointed toward Adam.


    The next moment, the God of Light''s head exploded, a fist sized hole in it.
