The Angels looked at the God of Light with shock. How did this happen?
Meanwhile, Adam sneered and disappeared from the array, and arrived next to the God of Light's body. His hand seemed to turn ethereal as it grabbed what remained of the God of Light's head.
Adam pulled his hand off his hand while grabbing what looked like a spirit. Actually, it was actually that, or rather, the Golden Idol of the God of Light.
Another big difference between a Golden Idol and a Nascent Soul was how vulnerable they were. A Nascent Soul, in the end, remained nothing but a Spirit, and was thus very vulnerable to the world, as well as the Spirit Concept.
However, a Golden Idol would actually become something fully corporeal, and wouldn't be as easy to deal with anymore.
Unfortunately for the God of Light, what he had wasn't a real Golden Idol since he hadn't formed an Essence, so his Golden Idol was still a spirit, making it extra easy for Adam, who understood the Sovereign Spirit Concept, to deal with him.
The spirit Adam had grabbed from the God of Light's head was a much smaller version of him, but it shone with a faint golden light. Normally, the stronger a Golden Idol was, the darker it would be. But for the God of Light, his Idol barely had a golden hue.
The Golden Idol looked at Adam with great reluctance as it cried with a tiny voice "HOW?!" Adam scoffed and instead of answering it, he looked at the surrounding Angels.
The combined attack was very powerful, allowing a few tens of mutated humans who were only as strong as peak Gold Rank to slay one at the top of the Hero Rank. However, doing so had emptied them of all their energy, they could barely remain in the sky.
When Adam looked at them, they woke up from their stupor, but unfortunately for them, it was too late. Since the beach was empty, Adam didn't restrain himself and used Inferno, burning their surroundings.
The weaker Angels died instantly, and even the stronger ones were only able to last for a few seconds before falling to the ground too and dying. As the angels around died, Adam looked at the Golden Soul in his hand and said "I master the Sovereign Space Concept, using space to trap me wasn't very clever."
Actually, even if he wasn't, Adam could feel he could break out of the trap using the raw strength of his body. While the array had solidified the space around him, he had grown strong enough to break space with his physical body, if he wanted to.
But doing so was unwise as the God of Light would have attacked him, and Adam knew he couldn't deal with him in under a minute, and with the threat of the Angels remaining an unknown variable, he decided to play weak.
Then, when the attack of the Angels was fired, all he had to do was to create a portal in front of him, which led directly behind the head of the God of Light, who was unable to react to the ray of death from the Angels.
Although it moved at light speed, and Adam was unable to react to it, all he had to do was to predict where the attack would land. And just to be sure, Adam had created the portal to be large enough to cover all his vital parts.
As for why the portal wasn't felt by the God of Light or anyone else except Adam, it was because of the trap itself. Space was tricky, and wasn't only made of one layer, like most people thought. Instead, there were multiple layers to space. Normally, they would stay as a whole and when one tore a hole through space, they would tear all the layers.
However, with the first layer of space having been solidified, all the remaining ones stay in their normal state. This had two effects. First, manipulating it was even easier for Adam as he didn't have to cut through the first layer, which was the hardest of them all.
Secondly, the first layer was the closest to the material world and thus hide the hole in space, resulting in it being undetected, even though a part of it was mere centimeters behind the God of Light's head. Actually, had he moved his head backward, without any protection then his head would have been cut by space.
Touching the edges of a space portal was a very bad idea too. To explain this, the easiest way is to use a three dimensional repair. A portal would extend on a certain area in term of length and heigh, but it would have no depth.
As such, putting one's hand through the portal will allow the hand's length, height and depth to move while only moving it in depth.
However, if one pushes their hand on the edge of the portal, then one half will plunge in depth to the other end of the portal, while the other half will continue going in depth in the entrance of the portal. That's makes a total of six dimension, two different depth, length and height for the same object.
That is simply impossible in term of spacial movement, there are too many dimensions, and space only has three, so the hand will be cut. As such, the two halves will become two separate entities. The six dimensions are also split in two, leaving three dimensions to both objects, as all things should be.
Space was a complicated subject, which was also why it was one of the rarest among those understood. As one of the rarest, it's capabilities were also among the ones that were the least understood, making fighting against a spatial expert something very dangerous.
Adam looked at the Golden Idol, who was still asking questions, and he clenched his hand. However, the Golden Idol wasn't cracked open, but instead became smaller and smaller. When he opened his hand again, it had gone silent. The Golden Idol had actually been sealed.
Then, Adam put the corpse of the God of Light and took the sky to fly back toward the Himalayas to pick up his family since all the threat had been taken care of. Manipulating space was a great trump card for anyone to have, which was why he didn't want to show it so he stuck to flying.
In Epoch, he had made a mistake when he showed he could create portals, but at that time he didn't understand yet how much of a trump card space manipulation could be. Since he had made the mistake in Epoch, he didn't want to replicate it here. And today proved him right as it allowed him to resolve what should have been a difficult fight in a single move.
It only took a few minutes to Adam to reach the mountains, and he quickly arrived in the cave his family hid in. They were obviously surprised when they saw him, and they asked him if he was facing any problem.
He smiled at them and said "No, actually, I took care of all the problems, you can go back home." The three were speechless, when Adam told them he was going to fight against GODS, they thought it would be very dangerous and take months if not years.
But only two days had passed since then and he was already back, with no injury whatsoever, and he said the problems were over?
Only when they really returned home and searched for news online did they finally believe. And as they did, they were shocked.
Adam had made no secret of his battles, some were very close to mortal cities. Although for most fights people didn't know how they ended up, what they knew was that after Adam came, the gods went back into hiding.
But more importantly, news about what happened on the beach of Los Angeles was spreading. The charred corpses of angels littered the beach, of which a major area had actually turned into glass! This surprised Adam, when he left the sand had turned liquid. He finally understood how glass was made, and also understood why Buwog were the best glass makers. They had an entire desert at disposition!
Most shocking though was the only non angel body on the beach. Although his face had been smashed open, the rest of his body was still visible, and since he had already revealed his appearance, coupled with all the dead bodies around, it wasn't hard for people to conclude that the corpse was the God of Light's.
That day, the world changed.
