Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 496 "Strength" and "Power"

The newcomer was an extremely strong man, standing at least two meters tall, with long red hair and bloodshot eyes that went beyond mere piercing gaze.

But what was most striking about him was not his long hair, but that he was completely naked!
His bronze skin was displayed without reservation on the street where he had stepped into a large hole, showcasing his impeccable physique.

That was undoubtedly an excellent male body that met the definition of ordinary people. Every muscle seemed to have been carefully sculpted by the world's best craftsmen. Even his genitals could not be described with vulgar language!
Looking at this person, Zheng Fan felt a similar sensation to that of the "man in the rain" he had seen in subway line zero.

Although the identity of the other party is unclear, there is no doubt that this man is to the violent world what the "man in the rain" is to the water world.

Furthermore, this man was in his "birthplace," and given the nature of the violent world, his aggressive and ruthless demeanor far surpassed that of the man in the rain.

“Jiana and Big did their job very well. Luo Ye, your attitude makes me want to laugh out loud, but you also seem to have foresight, having met and brought such a being with you. As expected of you, a woman who makes me swoon.”

The man stood with his hands behind his head, striking a pose that was difficult to decipher, showcasing his physique. However, he spoke in a soft, low voice, which contrasted sharply with his exaggerated appearance.

"Go to hell, you perverted exhibitionist!" Luo Ye cursed mercilessly.

The way she's cursing now really makes her seem like a little devil.

Zheng Fan's arm recovered, and he looked at the man in front of him: "Who are you?"

“I don’t usually talk to males, but you’re not exactly male, so it doesn’t matter. I’m Adam, the spokesperson for the violent world, or you can call me ‘Strong.’ What should I call you? A humanoid name, your self-proclaimed symbolic designation, or just what we call you here—Tree Branch?” The man tilted his head back, as if looking down at someone.

Zheng Fan couldn't help but say, "Whether it's your appearance or your name, you exude an irresistible charm that makes people want to complain."

“I don’t need to hide anything from outsiders. There’s no reason for me to rape others, only for me to rape them. That’s the truth of ‘strength’ and ‘power’. That’s my clear understanding of myself. As for you, although you’re just a tree branch, you still don’t understand yourself clearly. Although you don’t know what the dark world is planning, you can’t beat me.”

Adam said confidently.

"This guy is from the Prism Force. He talks such nice things, but he's still a dog for Dadu. Who would believe that the spokesperson for the violent world is a dog for the white world?" Luo Ye interrupted the other party mercilessly and mocked.

"Even in this vulnerable state, your words are still so harsh, Luo Ye." Adam chuckled and shook his head. "Let's make this clear beforehand: I only let you escape unscathed because I admired you, not because I couldn't beat you. Women can never beat men."

He changed to a bodybuilding pose: "You are qualified to be my Eve. I have seen countless women, but only you have this possibility. When I learned that you came from a violent world, you must have felt an unimaginable joy. Even now, if you are willing to come to my side, I can even conquer Dadu for you."

Luo Ye was disgusted and hadn't even retorted when Zheng Fan pointed at Adam and said, "Seriously, if you're so awesome, why didn't you come sooner? Why wait until she turns into a child? Are you a pervert?"

Adam smiled at Zheng Fan, his expression slowly turning cold: "Although you can't be called a human in the strictest sense, your thinking habits are still human, and a low-level male at that, disgusting."

“You haven’t answered our questions directly since the beginning, Adam.” Zheng Fan turned his head slightly.

"I don't need to prove anything to males who question my limited understanding. There is only one man in this world, and only I deserve to be called a man. All other males should be reduced to inferior slaves. Women are just useful tools for venting. Except for you, Luo Ye, you have the opportunity to become someone second only to one person. Don't you crave that?" Adam spoke eloquently, even revealing his explicit thoughts without any restraint.

"I was already above everyone else, you idiot, you're below me now!"

But when it comes to being arrogant, Luo Ye was no less so.

Adam sighed, his eyes growing deep: "She's still a female after all. It seems that unless I prove it to you, your foolish and barren mind won't be able to accept this reality. Fine, let's prove it then. I won't give way even to a branch. A new branch like him is nothing in front of me. I'll make you realize that."

As he spoke, he began to walk, each step leaving a trail of fire and billowing smoke.

"Watch out, this guy's even less intelligent than me, but he's definitely a handful... Huh?!"

Luo Ye whispered a reminder, but before he could finish speaking, Zheng Fan tossed him aside.

"Since I came into this world and became conscious, I've hardly ever been beaten up. I wonder if you could do that?" Zheng Fan smiled and stepped closer.

Adam's bloodshot eyes flashed: "You're even clinging to the form of illusion. Without a physical body, your strength is limited, which is laughable. You'd be too easy to get beaten up."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

Zheng Fan suddenly raised his leg and kicked at empty air, but instead intercepted Adam right in front of him.

However, the kick didn't leave any mark on Adam's smooth skin, but he was somewhat surprised to see Zheng Fan slowly retract his leg: "Roar~".

The next second he suddenly threw a punch.

With a single punch, Zheng Fan's body was torn apart, and the surging wind of the punch turned into red light and continued to advance, instantly leveling a large number of densely packed fortified buildings, leaving behind a shocking deep trench.

Adam withdrew his fist, and a "clink" sound was heard.

"Ok?"

A small, cute-looking bullet, painted in the color of toast and outlined, rolled to his feet and gently bumped against them.

"This is……"

Luo Ye, who was watching from the sidelines, was shocked. The next second, a black earthworm slithered over, swallowed her, and disappeared into the shadows.

Boom——! !

In the instant the light flashed, the surrounding earth seemed to boil, thick smoke and dust rose into the air, and the ultimate light and heat evaporated everything at the center of the explosion. But just as all of this was about to spread, it was enveloped by a black membrane, compressed, using the blast radius to achieve more effective damage.

Even so, the violent tremors continued unabated, as if an earthquake had struck.

Luo Ye was spat out by the black earthworm, which landed right next to Zheng Fan: "How dare you just throw that thing away like that?!"

"Anyway, we have a lot of stuff, and it's perfect to use what we just bought, right?" Zheng Fan said lazily, arms crossed.

That's a fingertip nuclear bomb.

If the impact area is not limited, this entire region will be completely destroyed.

Even in a violent world, this is a bit too violent.

After the small-scale compressed nuclear explosion lasted for quite some time, the black membrane finally dissipated, revealing the figure within. Adam's expression was slightly grave; his perfect body had undoubtedly suffered considerable damage, resulting in...burns to his flesh.

"A fingertip nuclear bomb? You actually possess something like that... It's astonishing... But that's all. Hmph, while using external aids is indeed a form of violence, it's ultimately a means of 'reinforcement.' When you resort to such methods, it means you've already acknowledged your shortcomings... Uh..."

Adam was speaking with great conviction when Zheng Fan suddenly pulled out a string of fingertip nuclear bombs.

Each one has its own paint job and expression: toast style, black earthworm style, zombie style, sheep style, and potato and carrot style. They're all flashy and colorful, like fingertip nuclear bombs.

Adam was stunned.

How could that be... The fingertip nuclear bomb is indeed something that emerges when the violent world is "in a bad mood." It's not just its simple power; the symbolism behind it also encapsulates elements such as "nuclear fear" and "nuclear deterrence." Although there is no subjective consciousness involved, it is one of the ultimate symbols at the level of "violent weapons."

While such things might be generated randomly in a violent world, their production rate couldn't possibly be this high.

Most of them were terrified of fingertip nuclear bombs, and even spent a lot of time collecting these things. Over half a century, they obtained a total of four. One was used up in the past, and three are still left.

There are still some private reserves in the violent world, but even the top gangs only publicly state that they possess one at most.

And this branch...

Aren't you a branch of the dark world?!

How can someone pull out a string of fingertip nuclear bombs?!
fake?

No, as a spokesperson for a violent world, Adam could clearly sense the dangerous and violent symbolism revealed in that string of comically painted fingertip nuclear bombs.

Weapons embodying violence and fear are being manipulated by black branches, who are now a symbol of terror to this violent world.

How ridiculous!

Moreover, the punch just now confirmed that although the opponent maintained a form of existence similar to an illusion, it was not an illusion in essence. He could touch him, but he did not have a good way to hurt or even kill him.

Is this a tree branch...?

After all, it exists only in speculation; no one has ever seen its physical form, and the characteristics of this embodiment of the dark world are entirely unknown. Only countless speculations exist.

But I'm afraid those lunatics at the end of the learning process were right.

The spokesperson for the dark world is likely omnipotent and all-encompassing.

Adam still didn't think he would lose. Even though he was helpless against Zheng Fan, the fingertip nuclear bombs could only hurt him. No matter how many were piled up, they couldn't kill him. This level of power was the limit. They couldn't even blow this place up.

But... this feeling is absolutely disgusting!

This thing he looked down on was forcibly leveled, and even... his pride stung him, because he would get hurt, so in this situation he was actually inferior to the other party!

Utterly disgusting! I'm being humiliated!
retreat!

Adam made the decision without hesitation.

What bothered him even more than running away was being humiliated and stuck in a stalemate with Zheng Fan!
Even though the opportunity to resolve the Luo Ye issue is right in front of us, it's still worth a shot if we give it our all.

Adam wouldn't allow himself to be humiliated by Zheng Fan wielding a large number of fingertip nuclear bombs! The matter of resolving the Luo Ye issue was far less important to him than the humiliation he was suffering; the two were incomparable.

"Once I find a way to defeat you, I will kill you!" With that, he turned and left without hesitation.

Just as Zheng Fan was about to throw the second one, Adam transformed into a crimson meteor and shot into the sky, disappearing from sight.

"Huh..." He was confused. Wasn't this just the beginning?

When that clay-like body was smashed to pieces by the opponent's punch, the explosive destructive power was indeed the strongest he had ever seen before.

He was just starting to get interested when the other person suddenly left in a very unpleasant mood.
