Benji stared blankly at Major Ernst who descended to the ground recalling all the Tree Golems and giant flowers. They entered the ground just as fast as they appear, leaving a trail of destruction behind...
Benji found himself robbed of all the excitement, facing Major Ernst who now stood in the middle of the street like a statue.
[Nice! He will be a nice collection to our army.] Said Adam in a good mood.
Benji was triggered to what Adam said, a deep sudden anger surging uncontrollable inside him...
Grey Force exploded out from his body suppressing everything around him.
His thoughts became chaotic, black veins appeared inside his right eye and face.
They looked like vicious snakes, pulsating and corrupting Benji's right side of his face.
He looked like a real devil now and the Force began to affect the innocent people around 500 meters.
Adam noticed Benji's strange behavior, [Benji?]
"ARGH!" Benji screamed madly as his Force started to run out of control!
Adam panicked, calling Benji out who didn't seem to hear him.
The black veins in his right eye wriggled their way slowly towards his black hole like pupil.
Adam felt the faint evil aura leaking out from Benji, reminding him of the time when they both entered the strange space with the gigantic red sun and the endless grey ocean...
It felt exactly like that time just that the endless grey ocean was replaced by Benji...
An idea appeared in his mind, [He is the berserking grey ocean and I'm the all controlling sun!]
A deep red beam shot into the sky from Benji's left eye, transforming a miniature red sun.
It shone brightly, bathing Wuppertal in red...
Adam started to control the miniature red sun, all of its rays focused solely on Benji's body.
Adam felt the violent fight between both powers, the berserking Force tried to resist his controlling rays.
He sensed to his delight that he was pushing the Grey Force slowly back inside Benji.
The veins inside his eyes wriggled violently now that the red rays that were interfering with them, but they began to retreat in defeat after a short time of struggling, never reaching Benji's black hole like pupil...
Clarity returned to Benji, he blinked a few times, confused about why he blacked out.
His outburst was short but devastating, everything 500 meters around him was laid to waste.
Some people died, being crushed by the collapsing buildings or his Force...
He realized what was going on when he saw the body of the small Kevin lying crushed on the street.
Guilt and anger began to flood him but it was quickly suppressed.
[You are finally yourself again...] Spoke Adam with a heavy mood as he looked around with his Inner eye.
'Adam! What happened here?!' Asked Benji with a grave expression..
[I'm not sure but you snapped. It wasn't The Zone but your anger took over.]
Benji recalled the disappointment he felt when Adam suddenly butted in his fight...
[You are unstable Benji, I noticed it but didn't think it would become like this...]
'I...' Benji didn't know what to say, he flew slowly down, arriving beside Kevin's corpse.
He looked down at the crushed body of the innocent boy, his right eye reddened as a single tear ran down his cheek...
"I'm sorry..." Whispered Benji to Kevin's crushed body.
He wasn't sure what exactly he was feeling at the moment but it really felt awful, he only met the boy today and he liked him and now...
[Let this be a lesson, don't forget what you are feeling right now and remember it the next time when you are about to lose control again. What's done is done. We can't change it but we will make the survivors have it better.] Spoke Adam.
Benji looked up at the sky, the miniature sun vanished after Benji calmed down.
'You are right, thank you for bringing me back.
[No problem.]
Adam went on, telling him what he discussed with Lilith. He also controlled Major Ernst and his soldier to clean up the mess. The blame fell of all the dead people fell on Major Ernst.
Benji told the people of Wuppertal that he took control over the Major and people from Dortmund were already on their way to Wuppertal to help them.
They gave out the stored food to the survivors, they shed tears when they finally had a meal that well-fed them.
The people didn't stop thanking him, calling him a hero.
Benji took long breaths, calming his surging emotions, both of his eyes returned to their lackluster state.
'You turned me from a villain to a hero...'
[We don't want to have bad publicity when we rule right?] Said Adam half joking.
'You can rule with Cain's body, I will leave it to you.'
[....Okay.]
Benji looked at the crying people and their happy faces, turning around as he blasted to the sky.
He was flying at his max speed, creating booming sound wherever he passed.
Adam was directing him where to fly as he was thinking about Benji.
[Remember the time we entered the strange space with the grey ocean and the red sun?]
'Yeah.' Answered Benji.
Adam sensed his bad mood but it was a good thing.
[I felt something evil inside the grey ocean, and I felt it earlier again when you lost control. I think the source of your power might be slowly corrupting you...]
Benji didn't answer immediately, he blasted through the sky, heading to the south.
'You are right, it's influencing me. It's increasing my emotional impulses, I didn't notice but my mind is clear now thanks to you and I have been thinking about it. I will take some time off to get myself under control after helping Lilith.'
Adam nodded mentally, [I think that's a good idea. We should reach our destination soon at this speed.]
Commander Gianluca and his men were waiting at the edge of the forest that existed between two mountains.
He got instructions to wait there for someone to pick up the horns.
They waited for around 20 minutes until they heard a booming sound drawing near.
Commander Gianluca and the others looked up at the sky and saw a man floating above their heads.
He was stunned the moment he saw the man, that man left a deep impression when he first met him, it was Solomon from Dortmund.
Solomon landed softly in front of them, "Lilith said you have something for me."
Commander Gianluca stared at Solomon with a solemn expression on his face...
"Yes, it's here." Said Commander Gianluca as he told his man to bring the horns.
They came forward, carrying bags filled with horns.
Solomon didn't say a word, the bags flew up, following him as he soared to the sky.
Commander Gianluca and the other soldiers looked at Solomon's quickly disappearing figure.
'Professor has a strong ally...The higher ups will take a loss this time.' Thought the Commander as he lit up a cigar.
