Chapter 173: One man down
He was a virgin prior to coming to another world.
He was then quickly found out by Leon's relatives, who fed him with a golden boon. Adam had everything, starting from strength to different kinds of women. It was as though he easily could taste various fetishes and curves, from flat-chested women to plump and voluptuous beyond normal measures.
He was living in heaven.
He wasn't stupid to just live an abundant life. For every day of pleasure, he'd train at least three times more and level up, absorbing new knowledge and principles. Even after today's events, he wanted to quickly return to that schedule, mixing comfort with arduous work.
Adam gritted his teeth. "I'll be forever a king if I kill you… Subsequently, killing you will also break Snow Demoness. I'll shape her to my liking."
After revealing his true colors, Adam channeled his mana and conjured space techniques. He ignored Leon's new zone, believing his burning feelings would erase that annoying hurdle.
Space shook around Leon, then parted widely, spitting sharp weapons and corrosive beams of raw mana.
Surprisingly, Leon brought out snow-blue scarves from his sleeves. Those were further enchanted by the new zone, adding more coldness to the already debilitating ice environment. The temperature kept falling.
And since Leon had his queen, whose body was a great support against divine existences, his new scarves once again froze everything that went against him.
Athena also was in a great mood. She flicked her fingers, turning all Adam's skills into debris. Even space turned into raw mana that crumbled into dust.
Adam — and everyone else not named Athena and Leon — gawked at that scene with widened eyes.
Leon smiled and taunted the divine man. "Where's your queen?"
Adam didn't answer that question. Inwardly, he deemed Leon right. It was true. He was true! Adam didn't have a queen yet and was still a newbie. He didn't have enough time to properly adapt to that world… Once Leon turns that Snow Demoness into his woman, another woman with the same physique should appear in the Freya World.
By then, he'll find her and level up!
It meant one thing — he should escape!
His new faction had already left a wide dent in the new alliance's ranks. In fact, having money from Leon's relatives, Adam used their plan and resources to contact many races and get them on their side, promising new worlds for them.
An offer to receive a new world was too good to pass.
That also told Adam that he had more than what it took to be the emperor of the worlds.
And no one was always victorious.
Henceforth, it was fine for him to escape now.
A grand portal appeared behind him. Adam quickly kicked the ground, throwing himself against it. But he hadn't sunk into a pleasant and mysterious space embrace but into a cold and adamant in not letting him go the wall.
He widened his eyes, not wanting to accept his thoughts.
Leon did it in his place. "You're in our zone. You can only leave when I allow you… Well, not like I'll allow you. But you can convince her."
Seeing how Leon leaned to sniff Athena's hair, Adam knew that she wouldn't let him go. Those cold eyes already saw him dead.
Leon raised his hand and pointed it at him. The blue scarves rushed like bulls at the divine man. Having nothing except for his body, Adam threw his amateur punches. Leon's weapons easily went around those pitiful attempts, coiling around Adam's wrists and pulling him down.
Adam hit the ground with his face, breaking his nose.
Athena then called forth her snowflakes, which were sharper than common weapons.
All snow pelted at Adam's back, digging into his flesh. Blood spurted and gushed in every direction, scratching away his health points faster than anyone had ever done before.
Adam screamed for help. However, no one had a divine sword or any other weapon to sneak inside the zone like Leon had done. Adam's allies could only listen to his screams — their faces horror-struck.
Winterborn King and his allies were on the triumphant side, bringing down more and more enemies. They didn't kill them but planned to seize their assets to strengthen their ranks. Other than this divine idiot, there were more divine threats that had to be taken down.
Leon remained cold, staring at the man without any emotions.
"It's worse than torture. He has so many health points that we'll stay here until sunset." He made quite a funny face.
Athena looked up at him. "I don't mind… It's not like I have to pour all my focus into killing him… I can spend more on you, Leon."
Leon gawked at her, understanding that his fiancee had also been converted to this world's harsh standards. He pecked her lips and nodded.
Soon, the divine man of the space concept died.
Leon's level skyrocketed like never before.

The Peace Gathering took a different route than everyone had planned.
Those that wanted peace and not ruin the world had fought against a divine man and his people. They didn't manage to catch them all, but most failed to escape. Having more wealth and resources was the only good thing that came out of that event — other than Adam's death and the new profound relationship between allied forces.
But that much was given…
Leon had won the most.
He returned home with a wide grin on his face.
However, once he started the introduction, his smile slowly faded.
Athena became cold, and he couldn't really touch her.
Celes remained quite cold, too.
Louise was the most casual woman in that family gathering. "I'm happy for you, Leon. That's it, I guess?"
Amaterasu howled in Louise's heart, but the adorable fox shrugged and left the room.
Celes followed her and steered to her room.
Leon soon understood that Alexandra was gone from his life.
Well, he remembered that. Honestly, if he were to introduce her, too, he would be in a more cold situation. However, he would gladly do it now and have everyone adapt again.
Deep inside, he didn't really understand what was wrong.
After all, everyone knew about Athena.
His two women should know he would never give up on her.
He understood Athena, so he decided to speak with her.
"They helped me stomp in this world…."
"I was pregnant, Leon."
"…"
Leon's heart turned cold.
