True Several Thousand Hands VS Adam, the First Human

Meanwhile, after being hurled out of Konoha by the wooden giant, Adam chose not to fight it and instead began a strategic retreat into the distance.

Unlike the dead Heroic Spirits, it was a living Noble Phantasm. Given enough time to grow, it could even truly erode the world and transform the entire world into the Garden of Eden.
