V.67 Adam's Legacy
"THEN, CHILD OF ADAM ARC, WHY DID YOU AWAKEN ME?"
Arc didn't answer him immediately, he begins to think back on all the things that happened when they decided to attack Hands of Cain (HOC). There's a lot of things that happened that were out of their expectation. The appearance of faithless and the forgotten or primordial are part of it.
"Sigh, I don't know if you are going to believe me if I told you we were just here to retrieve the things that belong to us." Arc wasn't exactly lying they are here to complete his quest to get back, Adam's Legacy, and as the name suggest it was an item that belongs to Adam, and as Adam's kin, it means it belongs to him, the only thing is that he didn't know if what they are searching is here in the first place.
Of course, Arc is not going to tell him that.
Arc and Ghidorah weren't exactly hiding their conversation and so the top executives of HOC meaning the pope and the bishops were able to spy on their conversation.
The pope and the bishops were not surprised when they heard Arc answer they know Arc was looking for something, only at first they think that Arc was only robbing them. And hearing Arc's answer it makes sense after all HOC has been gathering, buying, and stealing artifacts for as long as they can remember.
In fact, they didn't really care where or how the artifact comes from. They didn't think anyone is capable of fighting them for it.
"And you and your kin being awakened is a result of that. It was not us who awakens you but the people of this tower, But I cannot deny that I, or we, were the reason for it." Arc continues to explain.
"AND WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR HERE?"
"My ancestor's Legacy" Arc stated.
"ADAM" Ghidorah mumbles.
Ghidorah looks up left and right, seemingly looking for something in his memories. He once again looks at Arc.
"AND DID YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?"
Arc was going to answer yes, but stop. He didn't know if he got what he was looking for. No, in fact, he felt that he didn't. He looks at Ghidorah he thought of something and smiles.
" We didn't, they must have hidden it somewhere," said Arc without any emotion in his voice.
"I SEE," Ghidorah pause and seems to think of something. Looking at Arc "TELL ME ADAM'S KIN ARC. HOW ARE YOUR ANCESTORS DOING?"
Arc was confused by the question. He didn't know how to properly answer it. Shouldn't they know that Adam and all his children are dead?
~Why is he asking something he already knows the answer, unless~ Arc mind began to think about all the conversation he has with Adam. Although Adam didn't really tell him much but just the conversation he has he can deduce a lot.
"You should know that better than me," said Arc.
"I SEE," Arc's answer tells him a lot.
During the war, he heard the most ridiculous rumors. That Adam betrayed the gods. And even stripped them of all their power. It was so ridiculous that back then. He thinks that only an idiot would believe them. Adam and his children are god's vanguards, the gods' most trusted soldiers.
But now thinking about it, why were they imprisoned instead of being executed. He heard the rumor that His ancestor was so powerful that even the gods cannot kill them, so they imprison them instead.
But he knows personally that it was not true. Even if that was true, what about him? Or even Those who are weaker than him, why were they spared? Surely there was no reason to spare them. And yet they are imprisoned instead.
But if those ridiculous rumors are true, then that answers a lot of questions.
But why? Why would Adam betray the gods? That's the thing that confuses him the most.
"HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR ANCESTOR?" Ghidorah asked with a serious tone in his voice, even the atmosphere changes when he asks it.
Arc felt the change in the atmosphere, but he was not worried about it, he would be more worried if Ghidorah just shows how friendly he is. After all, Adam and the primordial are mortal enemies.
"I know enough,"
"THEN YOU KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUR ANCESTOR AND MINE"
" I do."
Ghidorah looks at Arc, there was no fear nor hate in his voice.
"HAHAHA, IS THAT SO, IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FORGOTTEN MEMORY FOR YOU BUT FOR US IT'S STILL FRESH LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY" the atmosphere becomes heavier…
But it's not a problem for Arc, Eve, and Lilly
Arc looks at Ghidorah. "That's true, what happened back then was already been erased by the gods and only a few remember them. But to you, that's a different story. But there's nothing I can do about that. My ancestors already paid the price for it."
When Ghidorah heard it the atmosphere returns to normal, "SO IT WAS TRUE" Ghidorah mumbles.
But when Arc hears it, he was able to confirm something. ~So they heard of what happened to Adam, but didn't know if It's true or not. It's not surprising, if I was in the same situation I would not believe it either. But this gives me an opportunity.~ Arc smiles on his mind.
"I don't know what you hear about my ancestor, and I don't know if you are going to believe it either. But my ancestor was controlled in the most vicious way. And he hated the gods more than anyone else. And he paid for it."
Ghidorah didn't say anything, he seems to be contemplating something.
"What is going on? Judging from their conversation, our god seems to be related to them."
The Pope and the bishops don't really know what Arc and Ghidorah are talking about, but one thing is clear, they are related.
And this gives them dread, did they steal something that belongs to the people related to their gods? No wonder they are so powerful. They didn't stand a chance.
Right now all of them are thankful they are still alive and all thoughts of revenge were banished from their mind.
"But it was also true that my ancestor did a lot of bad things to your people, whether it was his will or not." Arc continues to talk.
Arc notice that Ghidorah seems to be not paying attention to him and seems to be thinking of something else. So he stopped talking and gives time for Ghidorah to absorbed what he said.
He was hoping that his word would work so that Ghidorah would not be hostile to him anymore. To be honest, Arc was scared to think of having the primordial being as his enemies. He knows given time he would be strong enough to fight them, but as he is now, he has no chance whatsoever if he fights them for real. The best he can do is escape if all things turn sour.
Ghidorah has been thinking a lot of things. Mainly about the war, about their ancestor, about the gods, and especially Adam.
Despite his mind wandering, he heard everything Arc has said. He also notices that Arc stopped talking to give him time to digest their conversation. But that is not why his mind was wondering, he already confirmed his guesses. What he was wondering is would he continue the fight against Adam and his Kin. Despite knowing Adam's true intentions or feelings.
And during his fight with Arc, he was able to confirm that Adam's kin was still a force to be reconned with. In fact, he was a little scared of Arc, he still remembers the fight against Adam's firstborn son. A single person against a horde of primordial and elementals. It was a nightmare. It's true that the person in front of him is not that powerful compared to Adam's direct children, but he felt massive energy inside Arc not weaker than Adams's children. That is why he knows Arc was holding back a lot when he is fighting against him.
He doesn't feel any animosity or hatred from Arc as well. And that is why he thinks this is an opportunity to gain a valuable ally against the gods. Only he didn't know if his ancestor would approve of it. This is the thing he was contemplating about.
~SHOULD I WAKE THEM UP AND HAVE THEM MAKE THE DECISION? NO, (he shakes his head) TOO EARLY FOR THAT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?~ As a Primordial, they were made to obey orders without question, but over time their ego has been developed, and they were able to think for themselves. If it was during the war, he would never do something stupid as converse with the enemy.
SIGH, he knows he needs to make a decision. "WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GODS?"
Arc only said one word, "Enemies"
