This was an iron fist that even the gods felt extremely suffocated. It was probably the first time in hundreds of millions of years that the king of the gods had wielded such an extremely violent fist.
Under this punch, perhaps even the 'immortal' will be swallowed up and destroyed by the will of destruction.
The most important thing is that such a punch seems to be more than one punch!
Two punches? Three punches? Or just like before, never ending!?
No god knows where the power of the King of Gods will end, and Adam, as a human, has no idea.
At this moment, Adam's thoughts have become one with the Valkyrie Reggie Leif who has transformed into the tiger finger in his hand. At the moment when their thoughts have become one, he has already entered the state of 'life and death in an instant'.
In this state, he is "eternal" and will not die as long as his will is immortal.
Zeus obviously knew this, after all, everyone saw it in the last showdown between Lu Bu and Thor.
The King of Gods would not do meaningless things, so Adam was more willing to believe that there would be countless fists like this with a will to destroy, until his 'immortality' was broken, and victory was achieved.
This is probably the most troublesome thing for Adam.
Because relying on the 'immortal' state alone does not seem to be enough to defeat the King of Gods in front of him, no matter how his iron fist hits Zeus in front of him, it seems to be neither painful nor itchy to Zeus.
On the contrary, the moment the state of 'instantaneous birth and death' ends, it is one's own defeat.
There is no doubt that this is a rally of wills.
Which one is stronger, human will or God's will?
Although they are very reluctant, everyone probably knows the answer.
Under normal circumstances, human will cannot defeat the gods. Human will is enough to surpass the gods, which usually refers to 'a certain moment'.
Facing the oncoming iron fist carrying the will of destruction, Adam's eyes were firm.
He is looking for that moment.
The so-called "rise and fall in an instant" refers to the myriad possibilities within an instant.
The Zeus in front of him was completely different from the Thor that Lu Bu faced before. It seemed impossible to defeat the King of Gods with the help of short-term "eternal immortality".
Because Adam's attack cannot cause substantial damage like Lu Bu did to Thor before.
This battle lasted for so long, Adam was clearly aware of this.
The reason why the King of Gods in front of him showed signs of fatigue was not because his attack had injured the opponent, but because of his 'old age'.
Yes, Zeus's fatigue was entirely caused by physical exertion. Even if he tried his best to strike, it seemed that it was not enough to kill the king of the gods in front of him.
Failure to do this means failure in this duel.
Adam had no way out.
Once the state of 'instantaneous birth and death' ends, he and Reggie Leif will be driven to pieces. After that, as long as Zeus is still alive, it means failure.
So...how to win?
The answer is simple, just decide the winner with the next blow.
That's right, the short-lived "eternity" is useless in the face of an existence like Zeus. Instead of continuing to delay, it is better to concentrate on exchanging "eternity" for "moment".
Is there such a possibility in this 'moment'?
Countless images flashed in Adam's mind.
Adam is now blind and cannot see anything.
But for some reason, his heart suddenly became bright.
Because the will of countless people is guiding him on the path.
Only the will of man can defeat the gods.
If one person's will is not enough, then pass it on.
This is the only thing that puny humans can do, and it is also the only weapon to win!
At a certain moment, at the end of his consciousness, Adam saw the only 'moment' that could defeat the King of Gods in front of him.
Countless figures flashed in his mind, and finally, at the end of the road, a burly figure slowly turned around and showed a war-filled smile towards him.
That is - Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's soul dissipated after the last battle, but his fighting posture was deeply imprinted on the souls of everyone present.
The will of this only warrior who has defeated God has been passed down unknowingly in the form of 'hope' and is imprinted deep in the soul of every human being.
What Adam has to do, no, it should be said that every warrior can do something very simple, that is to pass on this 'will'.
‘Instant birth and death’ is the hope given by Xuan Hao to the human beings in this world, and the weight of this hope has already surpassed the so-called ‘gods’.
Perhaps humans think it is very difficult to defeat gods, but in Xuan Hao's view, these so-called "gods" are not gods in the true sense at all, and defeating them is naturally not difficult.
The only difficulty is probably to convince humans that they can win.
What Lu Bu did was to break the inherent thinking that humans cannot defeat gods, and what Adam did now was to build up human confidence.
"The final winner of this duel will be human beings."
Almost at the same time, Adam and Xuan Hao in the stands said the same thing.
They also smiled.
Xuan Hao smiled because Adam understood the true meaning of the power he had given him.
And Adam smiled because he caught that 'moment'.
He clenched his fists and fist-bumped with the warrior who was the only God of War at the end of his consciousness. This power would continue to be passed down and become stronger and stronger.
tread--
The ground of Valhalla Arena cracked inch by inch under Adam's violent stamping.
boom--
A violent crash sounded.
The gods opened their mouths wide and saw an incredible scene.
Zeus, who also reached out to grab the opponent's head like Adam, was actually overwhelmed by Adam with extreme violence when he punched at this crucial moment, and fell to his knees on the ground!
At this moment, Adam had a crazy smile on his face. This smile seemed familiar to them.
"This is……"
Thor looked at the scene in front of him with surprised eyes.
With such a smile, he is probably the most remembered among the gods.
That was the ferocious smile full of fighting spirit on Lu Bu's face.
At this moment, he seemed to see the overlapping shadow of Lu Bu on Adam.
The man put his feet on the ground as a fulcrum, put one hand on Zeus, and raised the other hand high.
What was clearly raised was a fist holding the tiger's finger, but at this moment the whole arm was like a halberd holding up the sky.
"Is this... the blow you were too merciful to use!?"
Seeing this blow, Sol stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement.
"Oh-this...this is!!!"
Also aware of what was happening at this moment were Chen Gong and others in the stands who had followed in Lu Bu's footsteps.
Seeing Adam's actions at this moment, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
No one knows this move better than them.
That was their lord, the most powerful strike that reached the sky—Heaven!!
"Well--"
A startled whimper came from Zeus's mouth.
He was surprised by the terrifying power erupting from Adam at this moment.
This kid actually overwhelmed him in terms of pure strength at this moment!
Because Adam was forcing him to kneel down on one knee, Zeus's fist movement was out of shape, and the power of this punch was destined to fail to achieve the effect he wanted.
On the contrary, Adam's blow at this moment will be the strongest blow in this life, not in human history!
If this blow were to collide, the result would be obvious.
Facing the oncoming arms that fell down, Zeus began to become a little confused.
He actually... was going to lose?
Lost to a human?
In a daze, Zeus saw the smile on Adam's face. It was the smile of a winner.
The human being in front of him, no... he was not facing just a human being. This human being carried the will of countless human beings.
And these wills, which should have been a collection of countless distracting thoughts, are so pure at this moment, purely believing in victory and that humans can defeat gods!?
How could... such a thing happen?
Zeus was confused.
But such a thing did happen, right before our eyes.
He failed. At this moment, his will was overwhelmed by the human will that gathered like a tide. As a god, he knelt down in front of a human. Isn't this a failure? What is it?
For a moment, Zeus' fisting hand became weak.
As the fighting spirit faded, although he did not admit defeat verbally, he actually gave up.
After all, everyone can see the result of this attack. There will be no suspense and it will be the victory of mankind.
"It seems...you can't take it."
boom--
Along with the violent explosion, Zeus looked up at Adam and his face became distorted.
But it was not because it was smashed, but because of the strong wind pressure.
The terrifying force lifted up the floor behind him, destroying the entire arena in a mess, but the fist that swung down like a halberd actually just stopped in front of his face.
"You lose, grandpa."
Facing Zeus who had lost his will to fight, Adam did not choose to kill him, but stopped his attack at the last moment.
His face was full of confident smile.
This smile seemed to be mocking the gods, announcing their failure, and letting the gods know——
The god, the king of gods, was pitied by a human being.
"Zeus...Lord Zeus!?"
"!!"
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in horror.
At this moment, Zeus knelt on the ground, looking up at Adam, motionless.
Although this blow did not actually hit, the violent power still severely impacted Zeus's brain, causing him to lose consciousness instantly.
Adam raised his fist high, as if to declare his victory to the world.
Fluorescence flickered on him.
Click——
Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, the limit was finally reached.
With a smile of victory, Adam and the Valkyrie Reggie Leif, who was one with his mind, disappeared like wind.
"This... this... this -"
Heimdall didn't seem to know how to explain the outcome of this battle for a moment.
"Lord Zeus...actually fell to his knees on the ground, as if...lost consciousness!? And Adam...Adam's soul is gone?!"
As a result of this battle, no one stood in the ring.
For a moment, both gods and humans were silent.
If you follow the rules, 'fight until one party is completely destroyed', even though he lost consciousness, Zeus is indeed still alive, so according to the rules, it is Zeus's victory.
"This...this...this..." Heimdall's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "How should we judge this battle?"
He did not dare to make any judgments, and could only cast doubtful eyes on the gods in the stands.
But no god could answer him.
Because at this moment the gods have no face to accept such a victory.
Because they witnessed with their own eyes the compassion from human beings.
Yes, the reason why their king of gods is able to survive in the world at this moment is actually because of the compassion of mere humans!!
This is - what a humiliation!?
Compared to them, no one on the human side seems to care about the outcome of this duel at this moment.
Everyone closed their eyes with tears in their eyes and prayed devoutly in the direction where Adam disappeared.
From the human perspective, the outcome of this battle is no longer important.
Because they have already obtained something more precious than victory.
The will of mankind is unshakable. What the father of mankind has proven is enough to crush the will of divine authority, and they will continue to pass it on.
"How to judge? Why not~~~just let us lose~?"
Seeing the entangled expressions of the gods, Brünnhilde smiled teasingly. Although she covered her mouth with her hand, anyone could clearly see the joy on her face at this moment.
This happy expression was extremely ironic in the eyes of the gods.
But people who know her well know that beneath this joy is hidden anger.
‘Not as good as’?
‘Even’?
As gods, when do they need mercy-like victory?
Well... at this moment, it does seem to be needed.
They have already lost one game. If they lose two games in a row, then the god's face will really be lost.
But the crux of the matter is, looking at Brünnhilde's sarcastic face, who on earth can bear this tone and accept such a victory?
"No."
A gloomy voice sounded from the seats of the gods.
"Forehead……?"
"Hermes?" Ares, the god of war, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva when he saw Hermes speaking at such a time.
He originally wanted to stop it.
But looking at the gloomy expression on Hermes' face, I felt inexplicably scared and didn't dare to speak for a while.
"Oh? What's the matter? Lord Hermes?" Brynhild heard this answer and asked teasingly, "According to the rules, it is you who won. Isn't this - bad!?"
She has no good temper at all at the moment.
After all, one of her younger sisters, Reggie Leif, died for this duel!
If she didn't tear off the faces of these arrogant gods and trample them under their feet, she would explode with rage.
"Why don't you just accept this victory obediently? After all, this is what your God King earned by working so hard, isn't it?"
Gray on the side listened to her sister's provocative words and was so frightened that she even forgot about her sadness for a moment.
