Two of the Springloaded’s legs had melted and its tail had come apart but it approached the angel and boy with its remaining six legs However
Ange and Machina swept their hands dismissively toward it
One hand melted it like chocolate and the other dismantled it
What in the world is this
They both looked curiously down at their own hand
The temperature of my purifying fire has increased It’s on an entirely different level
I can input the Anti-Code so quicklyThis is six times as fast
They were both surprised by their own power They exchanged a glance completely forgetting they were enemies
Ange remained utterly shocked but Machina ultimately calmed down
Our bodies Our cells and spirituality have raised our abilities to protect Fujita
Wh-what are you talking about Raised our abilities We can’t just get a power-up that easily
It is not that surprising The Serpent’s Eye affects every part of a woman And if he is the true origin
They both looked his way
Adam
The perfect man
Hm Wh-what are you two talking about
Mutsuki grew flustered when they both gave him a frightening look
Ange seemed dumbfounded and Machina gave a look of realization
Damagelevel 71% Movement impossible
The metal scorpion could just barely stand on its remaining four legs but it gave a staticky groan like a poorly-tuned radio
Securingclassified informationtop priority Selfdestruct approvedpositive
Panic filled Ange’s and – for the first time – Machina’s face
The astral source is reversing The core energy is being annihilated The algorithm is shifting from libido to death drive Oh no
Self-destruct Mutuski Get down
Ange charged forward wearing flickering armor of golden flames
She almost seemed to trample his collapsed form to shield him
Ange
At the same time Machina stood in front of the both of them and spread her arms
He saw both Ange and Machina trying to protect him
He saw the pouring rain grow a dark blood-red
Looks like my timing was perfect
Vvvv
The Springloaded let out a groan of surprise with only five seconds until it self-destructed
All of the raindrops on it became the dark red of blood and began wriggling about on their own so its surprise was understandable
Rock could not be cut by scissors but it was weak to paper
A moment later the black liquid surrounded the Springloaded and tossed it into the sky All of its
groans were drowned out by the rain
Mutsuki did not know if a machine could scream but he knew this one had to be screaming if it could
More and more rain wrapped around it slipped into the gaps between parts and easily took control At the same time it was smoothly carried up toward the source of the rain It moved
opposite of gravity
The raindrops acted like a slide as they carried the Springloaded high into the sky
The clock inside was accurate so it happened precisely four seconds later
The thick clouds producing the intense rainfall were blown to smithereens by a sphere of light
Ange Machina and Mutsuki were dumbfounded
Eh heh heh
Lucia gently landed
Told you I would be seeing you sooner this time
Just like on the day Mutsuki had been invited into this bizarre new life the demon boy winked with a glimpse of the setting sun in the background
Adolescent Adam Chapter 9 - Gather Heaven Earth and Hell
A clock ticked with perfect regularity
Clocks were science incarnate The world was ruled by time and man had built clocks to rule over time They were proof that man used springs to oppose the world that god had created
That was why the girl loved this old clock
Leaning on it was enough to relax her The ticking of the second hand was especially comfortable Its regular rhythm felt like the beating of a heart reminding her of her mother’s heartbeat It brought her back to her time as a fetus The girl was human so that was where her memories of peace lay
And the girl was human so it was only natural to rely on science
Miss A I have a report from Miss E who contacted that boy
A mechanically synthesized voice cut in The girl frowned at having her rest disturbed and she looked upwards
The clock was a pocket watch with a leather strap and it hung around a white rabbit’s neck
Light reflected from the rabbit’s red eyes which were larger than the girl
She succeeded in procuring the boy’s sperm He is definitely Adam the core of our plan
However it seems the cells can’t be implanted for artificial insemination She also failed to request his cooperation He is already working with the angels
I see I suppose MachinaMiss E is too poor a talker
The girl got up from the old clock and placed her tall leather heels on the floor which was entirely covered with countless playing cards
Not a problem We can correct this scenario
She parted her blonde hair
Maintain the current situation so we can make our next move against the angels and demons on a moment’s notice It hurts that they got the first move in but all three factions are still lined up alongside each other If he’s leaning toward the angels that gives us a slight advantage The girl gave a small sigh
The time of rivalry has arrived
