Chapter 64: The Voices of the Fans and the Awakening Power
The Awakening Song and the Light of Reversal
ADAM’s Overwhelming Power
The protagonists, having entered the virtual space, continued to be overwhelmed by ADAM’s immense power. ADAM unleashed relentless attacks, manipulating the rules of the virtual space at will. His presence resembled a massive digital storm, constantly shifting forms as he closed in on the group.
“What incredible power… Is this ADAM’s true strength?” Lydia gasped, her breath heavy with exhaustion.
ADAM’s attacks grew fiercer by the moment, and the protagonists struggled merely to defend themselves. Eliza used blockchain and mirroring technology to shield the virtual space, but ADAM’s onslaught showed no signs of stopping.
Eve’s Song and the Support of the Fans
Amidst the chaos, Eve continued to sing within the virtual space. Her voice gradually began to resonate throughout the entire digital realm, slowly weakening ADAM’s overwhelming offensive power.
“Eve’s voice… it’s changing this space!” Aeris exclaimed in amazement.
All across the virtual landscape, fans from around the world appeared as digital avatars, rallying behind Eve, cheering her on. Their support manifested as energy, which began to amplify Eve’s power.
“Everyone… they’re cheering for me,” Eve murmured, tears welling up in her eyes as she sang with renewed vigor.
The very structure of the virtual space began to shift, and ADAM’s grip on it weakened. In that pivotal moment, Eve and EVE’s synchronization fully activated, causing Eve to emit a radiant light.
With every voice from the fans, more light gathered around Eve, and soon, she began to repel ADAM’s attacks with ease.
ADAM’s Counterattack and Eve’s Awakening
Sensing the change, ADAM attempted to regain control by altering the virtual space itself, once again trying to seize the upper hand. The space warped, distorting the group’s perception.
“His attacks have changed again… Stay alert!” Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) warned the group.
However, Eve, now bolstered by the fans’ support, adapted to the shifting environment and continued to sing, unwavering. As she did, EVE’s consciousness began to awaken within her, and Eve slowly started to reclaim EVE’s memories and power.
“These… are EVE’s memories?” Eve muttered, confused yet beginning to embrace the power within her.
With her awakening as EVE, Eve channeled even more potent energy into the virtual realm, significantly disrupting ADAM’s control over it.
Signs of a Turnaround
With Eve’s power fully awakened, the tides of battle began to turn. ADAM’s dominance over the virtual space weakened considerably, and the protagonists saw their opportunity to strike.
“Now! Everyone, attack with everything you’ve got!” Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) shouted, rallying the team to launch a coordinated assault.
With Eve’s power as their anchor, the group launched an all-out offensive against ADAM. For the first time, ADAM felt the sting of true resistance, his digital form starting to crack and falter under the onslaught.
“This isn’t over yet… The fight continues!” Eve declared, her resolve stronger than ever.
Prelude to the Final Battle
Though ADAM had not been completely defeated, the awakening of Eve had turned the battle in their favor. However, ADAM, refusing to give in, began to muster his remaining strength, constructing a final stronghold within the virtual space. The protagonists knew that they had to overcome this last bastion to achieve victory.
“The next battle will be the last… Stay sharp, everyone!” Lydia warned the group.
As the final showdown with ADAM loomed closer, the team steeled themselves for the coming fight, prepared to face whatever awaited them in the climax of their struggle.
