Although Adam once again unleashed his ability to Incitement, the situation is clearly different now.

Stiano's strength was weaker than Leodero's, and he wasn't as impulsive, so it was difficult for Adam to Incitement fighting to the death.

Moreover, the reason Leodero was so easily Incitement at the time was mainly because Stiano was indeed not in good condition and was completely distracted, Leodero himself also noticed.

Leodero is currently at his peak, and may even be suppressing some anger, Stiano has little chance.

Therefore, Adam brought this up simply in the hope that Stiano would take the initiative and not just sit idly by.

If the two hadn't actually fought and had simply been facing off quietly, Stiano wouldn't have been so distracted.

Who knows, we might discover Kronos's movements by then.

Amanises shared this idea, which is why he made Leodero Stiano's opponent.

After all, Leodero had the worst temper and was the one who most admired force.

If it were Aucuses or Herabergen, they might not actually be able to fight.

Therefore, under the joint scheme of Adam and Amanises, Stiano took immediate action.

Stiano couldn't match Leodero's skill, but he shouldn't have been defeated right from the start.

Under Leodero's relentless attacks, Stiano used every trick in the book to defend himself.

Let alone this place being the Forsaken Land of the Gods, even in the outside world, he might not have the extra energy to keep track of whether anyone has become a god.

Seeing that everything was proceeding as planned, Adam relaxed and began to focus entirely on his "prey."

Unlike Amanises and Lilith, who only needed to entangle their opponents, Adam was prepared to directly Capture his "prey".

Therefore, he used all his strength immediately.

An invisible force, carrying immense pressure, is heading towards the True Creator.

The Corruption ocean was instantly forced back in the direction it had come from.

As if sensing the pressure emanating from Adam, the True Creator also began to fight desperately.

With the full activation of the powers of shadow, darkness, Corruption, filth, and mutation, this place has become like a Corruption kingdom.

Countless Monster born of Corruption appeared out of nowhere in this kingdom, and they had only one goal: to kill Adam.

Adam chuckled softly, then gently took out something.

Since the purpose of this mission was to Capture the True Creator, Adam must have brought the Blasphemy Slate with him.

This Blasphemy Slate comes from the remains of the Ancient Sun God after his death, so it can draw upon the power of the Chaos Sea.

Their current location is very close to the Chaos Sea, so they can exert their greatest effect here.

However, Adam did not do so, but instead suppressed the Corruption kingdom with the Blasphemy Slate Desecration.

Once the Chaos Sea unleashes its power, it will definitely shock those three guys.

If Leodero runs away, then Stiano will be free to do something.

Therefore, Adam needs to buy himself some more time.

On the God War Ruins outside the Forsaken Land of the Gods.

A person floated on the sea, looking towards the Forsaken Land of the Gods with some disappointment.

This person was dressed in a black classical robe and a matching pointed soft hat. He had black curly hair, black eyes, a broad forehead, a thin face, and a Glasses over his right eye.

He muttered to himself, "Paranoid, I thought we had some kind of unspoken understanding."

"My plan is almost complete. When Bethel returns and the pollution from the Moon Descent, it will attract everyone's attention, and we can each get what we want."

"I never imagined you knew me so little, and that you acted so impulsively!"

"What a waste! If we weren't unprepared, now would be such a perfect time."

In fact Amon and Adam did have some tacit understanding with each other.

Although the two rarely communicate, they do help each other when doing things.

This time, however, Adam "abandoned" his "brother" in order to help Kronos.

Adam helps Amon mainly because of their past relationship, and also because he isn't very familiar with Klein.

Even so, Adam didn't offer Amon much help; he only gave him a small hand.

Now, Kronos holds a much higher place in Adam's heart than Amon, after all, Amon is simply uncontrollable.

Therefore, in order to help Kronos, Adam decisively abandoned his tacit agreement with Amon.

Seeing the current chaotic situation, Amon felt truly heartbroken.

If he were ready now, he would definitely release "Mr. Door" Bethel immediately and begin his Apotheosis Ritual.

Unfortunately, he believed he and Adam had a tacit understanding, so he wasn't in a hurry.

Preparations are not yet complete, and time is running out.

After sighing a few times, Amon turned and left.

Regardless, Adam owes me this time, and I'll definitely make him make it up to me later.

Amon's Apotheosis Ritual could not have happened today, but Kronos's side is almost successful.

After the last dose of the Potion entered his body, Kronos felt a sense of fulfillment, as if he were completely whole.

Without him needing to do anything, the characteristics of the three Knowledge Emperor immediately formed a loop, surrounding the power of Uniqueness together.

The power of the Knowledge Emperor is like an energy source, while Uniqueness is a Key. When the two are combined, Kronos has the opportunity to open the Gate to the Hermit.

As this Gate opened, Kronos once again saw the ceaseless Knowledge Torrent.

This time, however, Kronos was looking down at the torrent from a superior perspective.

After gaining an overview of the entirety, Kronos knew that it represented not only knowledge, but also the program of this world's Civilization.

Civilization has always been divided into two aspects: the mystical side and the technological side.

Therefore, the Hermit and the Paragon jointly govern the Civilization process of this world.

However, according to Kronos's observation, the side belonging to technology really looked quite stagnant.

This is truly a novel phenomenon: the mystical side, devoid of True God, is thriving, while the technological side, possessing True God, is utterly stagnant.

This situation also confirms why Stiano's power is weaker than that of the other True God.

Logically speaking, they are all True God of the same Sequence, so even if their authority is not so good at fighting, they shouldn't be suppressed from all directions.

Stiano's weakness wasn't due to the flawed Pathway; it was entirely because he himself was incompetent.

After becoming True God, the entire technological Civilization program rests on his shoulders.

Stiano, on the other hand, is practically an idiot in this regard. Come to think of it, having progressed all the way to the Sage path through the Hermit Pathway, he's practically clueless about technology.

If it weren't for Emperor Roselle appearing more than two hundred years ago, Stiano's strength would definitely be much weaker now.

Let alone the True God, even Adam and Amon, who were not yet gods, could probably bully him.

This situation is actually good for Kronos; with Stiano weak, his chances increase significantly.

Without further concern for the technological side, Kronos turned his attention to his own mystical side.

Even before he came into contact with this torrent of Civilization, he could feel its call to him.

The next second, a Cloak suddenly appeared on Kronos, completely covering him.

That is the Uniqueness of that Hermit.

After the Uniqueness enveloped him, Kronos gently raised his hand, and an oil lamp appeared in his hand.

The Light of Knowledge was ignited, and the entire Knowledge Torrent began to boil.

Although Hermit govern the mystical side, the technological side is also knowledge, and it can also resonate with the Light of Knowledge.

This is what Kronos has always been wary of.

Such a commotion might be imperceptible to other True God, but the chances of Stiano sensing it were extremely high.

However, at this moment, Stiano was focused on dealing with Leodero's attack and had no extra energy to sense where that tremor came from.

Or rather, he presupposed that this tremor was due to Leodero's attack.

After the Light of Knowledge was ignited, Kronos's identity Hermit was completely confirmed, and the entire Knowledge Torrent acknowledged it.

Immediately afterwards, the part belonging to the mystical side surged directly into Kronos's body, beginning to help Kronos complete the final step.

Transformed by the Knowledge Torrent, Kronos underwent a complete upgrade from the inside out, and forged the most solid relationship with the Knowledge Torrent.

On the day when all the transformations are complete, Kronos will truly become Hermit.

After Kronos received a response from the Knowledge Torrent, Adam received a reminder from Kronos.

It's hard to say how long the entire process of becoming a god will take; he can't keep dragging Adam along indefinitely.

So, having gained the approval of the Knowledge Torrent, Adam could now begin to wrap things up.

Therefore, from this moment on, Kronos already possessed the same licensing rights as Stiano within the Knowledge Torrent.

If he wanted to hide it, Stiano wouldn't be able to find it.

Don't forget, Hermit is someone who hides behind everything.

After receiving Kronos's reminder, Adam no longer held back.

He activated the Second Blasphemy Slate with all his might, and began to draw upon the power of the Chaos Sea.

Of everyone present, five were connected to the Chaos Sea, so they all sensed that wisp of aura when it appeared.

As King of Angel had served the Ancient Sun God for so long, Leodero and his two companions were not unaware of the location of the Chaos Sea and had even harbored covetous thoughts towards it.

But the True Creator is right here, and they have no chance at all.

Now that Adam has suddenly drawn upon the power of the Chaos Sea, fear has taken hold of them.

They didn't know exactly how powerful the Chaos Sea was, so they were very afraid that Adam would wipe them all out.

Therefore, upon sensing the aura of the Chaos Sea, the three of them instinctively retreated and prepared to flee.

Their three opponents seemed to share the same tacit understanding; none of them initiated the pursuit, and all stopped at the same time.

Stiano stopped because he simply didn't want to take any more beatings.

Amanises and Lilith both knew that since Adam was serious, their plan had succeeded completely, and there was no need to pursue him.

Since no one was chasing them, Leodero and his two companions turned and ran.

Regardless, it's impossible to stop Adam's actions today.

Let's focus on protecting ourselves first, and not let Adam take the opportunity to eliminate them as well.

After the three left, Amanises and Lilith focused their attention on Stiano.

Stiano was merely a tool from beginning to end, so he had no idea what the specifics were.

He could only nod amicably to Amanises and Lilith, then glanced curiously at Adam.

He was also very Adam and the True Creator.

Lilith said to Amanises in a very discreet manner, "Now is a perfect opportunity, why don't we take care of him while we're at it?"

"In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, the outside world might not be able to sense anything. If the two of us work together, we can quickly end the battle."

"Giving his Beyonder Characteristic to Kronos as a gift for his ascension to godhood would be a very good idea."

Lilith actually wanted to get closer to Kronos.

Now that Kronos has essentially become a god, it seems that Stiano is no match for Kronos.

At that time, Kronos will also become Dual-Pathway True God, and with the power of time, his strength will definitely rise to a certain level.

Although Lilith is no longer weak, she has an extremely powerful nemesis: the Mother Goddess of Depravity on the Moon.

This Outer Deity is considered one of the most powerful, and Lilith isn't very confident about defeating him.

Therefore, she still wanted to maintain a good relationship with such a powerful ally as Kronos.

Unlike Amanises and Adam, Kronos had already offered assistance long before he became truly powerful, making them early shareholders in the startup phase.

Although the Sanguine have helped Kronos quite a bit, it was all in exchange for favors. Moreover, even if there were any favors involved, they ultimately fell on Olnia and Olmer.

Therefore, Lilith came up with this idea: to try investing now and perhaps gain some returns.

After listening to Lilith's words, Amanises really started to think.

Stiano himself was unaware that he was now standing in the jaws of a tiger.
