The villainess shall be mine

:::[Adam's POV]:::

Cough! cough!

My head ached and I felt like there was something stuck in my throat.

I just regained consciousness so I could control my body again and I didn't know how, but when I came to my sense I was already standing at the huge door leading out to the plaza.

I leaned on the wall using my hand to support myself from stumbling because like when I was in that mystical place, I could feel pain all over my body and my legs were shaking.

It was probably because almost all of the primordial particles in my body were all used as Pride said.

However, I couldn't complain because it was a miracle that I could save myself and the other people.

Boom! Boom!

"W-what the hell is that?" I couldn't help but doubt my eyes and ask out loud.

"

'Please give me a break! For real, what the hell is happening to me?'

I couldn't help but complain internally.

During these fifty years, I prioritized information gathering but it wasn't like I slacked off the rest of the time.

I trained my body and I prepared myself to fight monsters but it seemed like my efforts weren't enough and I wasn't imaginative enough.

After all, I almost died poisoned but a mysterious entity took control of my body when I ran out of strength and now a minotaur was running toward me.

'Yes, I lack imagination.' I thought, realizing how different this world was compared to the Earth.

That was not all, the minotaur jumped in the air and was prepared to destroy the whole edifice.

'What should I now. Should I run? But my parents are still there. I need to get them out of her first.' I thought but I couldn't even move my leg the way I wanted it.

I knew that I needed to calm down and think rationally but there was no time for me to calm down and process everything that happened.

Swoosh!

When the situation was at its critical point, something that I didn't anticipate occurred.

Suddenly, the temperature in the atmosphere dropped and a wall of ice taller than twenty meters appeared.

I couldn't believe what I was witnessing.

A gigantic wall of ice protected everyone from the minotaur's attack.

I looked up above and I saw a woman wearing a dress that looked like a Chinese one. I wasn't an expert on Chinese clothes but I was surprised to see that there were people in this universe who had the same inspiration as those who created these beautiful dresses back on Earth.

And my surprise didn't end there. Two huge ice dragons appeared and roamed in the air then rushed toward the minotaur and froze it to death.

I was so surprised that I unconsciously used the last ounce of strength in my body to move forward so that I could see the mysterious woman up close.

I knew that there were powerful people in this universe and I always thought that my power was special was but at that moment,

I realized that there was a big gap between this woman's strength and mine.

I was a little bit frustrated.

'Am I really satisfied with my current self?' I thought.

'What is this feeling? Why am I so frustrated? I…"

At that moment, I felt like if I was stronger, I could have protected myself, my family, and everyone else.

I somehow felt like I could understand why the protagonists in these webnovel stories are so power-hungry.

'Haha, bring it on… It seems like I have something to aim for from here.' I thought, feeling motivated and determined to not make the same mistake again by focusing on becoming stronger this time.

Swoosh!

While I was lost in my self-reflection, the mysterious woman used her power to create a wall of ice around the portal and sealed it temporarily.

I could use my power to completely neutralize it but at that moment, I couldn't even move from where I stood.

Then, a thought crossed my mind. 'Who is behind this?' This was the most important question that I asked myself.

"Kuuh!"

Suddenly, a voice echoed inside of my head.

'Justice.'

The voice sounded so overbearing and my mind felt heavier all of sudden.

'Huh? Who just talked? Is that you Pride?'

'Justice…'

After that, my mind was assaulted by a terrible headache and I fell to my knees again.

"Kuah! What the…"

:::[Third person POV]:::

At the same time when Adam got a terrible headache, Liu was standing in mid-air looking at the portal that she sealed with her ice elemental power.

This was just a temporary precaution and she needed to wait for the hunter team to bring the artifact that could close the portal.

"Sigh." Liu couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed. She could still see the soldiers battling the remaining monsters from above and she was surprised to see some soldiers who had the Imperial Crest on their armor but there was not a trace of what she was searching for.

"Guguga!" The baby on top of Liu's head moved oddly, let out weird voices, and pulled Liu's hair.

"What is happening to you?" Liu said, taking the baby in her hands and wondering the reason for this weird behavior.

"Gugugugu!"

The baby struggled violently in Liu's arm and tried to point at something behind them.

At first, Liu didn't understand what the baby was trying to tell her and thought that the baby was hungry or something like that.

And when Liu finally understood the baby's intention, it was already too late for her to prepare her mind for what she was going to witness next.

"!!?"

When Liu turned around, she felt fear. An emotion that only her father could make her feel.

And the fear that she felt at that moment was different from all of the emotions that she felt before.

She felt scared and she was completely at the mercy of the person in front of her.

The person had pure white hair as if every string of his hair was made of platinum and his white clothes didn't have a single black spot on them.

Two diamond-like eyes which were more beautiful than any jewelry were looking straight into Liu's eyes and it was as if a God appeared in front of her.

But it wasn't his appearance that made Liu feel uncontrollable fear.

It was the aura around this godlike person.

It was extremely pure that space itself looked like it was being purified and was breaking down.

Cracks formed in the void surrounding the man and as if the man was standing inside of a space made of countless mirrors that continued to break apart endlessly, the space around him was distorted.

'Who is this person?' Liu thought but she was frozen in place unable to move.

Liu held the baby tightly in her arms and she could feel that the baby also was shaken by the appearance of this entity.

"Judgment."

The person only said one word but everything, the sky, the ground, the space, appeared like they were on the verge of collapsing.

Cracks appeared in the space around the plaza which expanded and almost covered the whole city.

The sky looked like it was made of broken mirrors and people could see the reflection of themselves everywhere they looked as if they entered a room full of mirrors.

It was pure madness and it was just the beginning if the y person wasn't stopped quickly.
