Chapter 65: The Path to the Final Battle
Breaking Through the Fortress and the Song of Hope
ADAM’s Final Fortress
With Eve’s awakening progressing, ADAM’s grip on the virtual space had begun to crumble. However, ADAM had constructed his final fortress in the deepest layer of the virtual space, a place where he had gathered the full extent of his power. This was where the ultimate battle would take place, and the heroes knew that victory would only be possible if they could break through.
“This… is the final stronghold,” Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) muttered, his face tense as he gazed up at the towering fortress.
The fortress was a massive digital structure, constantly shifting and reshaping under ADAM’s control, ignoring all the usual rules of the virtual space. The protagonists began preparing for the battle, knowing this would be their most difficult challenge yet.
Strategy Meeting and Resolute Determination
To prepare for the siege, the group convened a strategy meeting within the virtual space. Each member reviewed their roles and the divine artifacts they had acquired, discussing the most effective way to attack.
“We need to pool all of our powers and destroy ADAM, along with this fortress,” Lydia calmly suggested.
“In order to fully utilize Eve’s power, we must first breach the fortress’s outer walls. That’s where we’ll focus our attacks,” Eliza added, outlining the strategy.
The energy gathered from the fans would be channeled through Eve, empowering the group’s combined efforts. With their resolve solidified, the team prepared to launch their assault on the fortress.
The Initial Breakthrough
Upon reaching the fortress, the heroes launched their first assault on the outer walls. With Eve’s power augmenting the divine artifacts, cracks began to appear in the seemingly impenetrable walls.
“Now! Attack with everything you’ve got!” Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) commanded.
The group unleashed a coordinated attack, inflicting significant damage on the fortress. However, just as the walls began to crumble, a horde of digital weapons emerged from the fortress, programmed to defend ADAM’s stronghold.
“So, this is ADAM’s final defense…!” Elias muttered, bracing himself.
ADAM’s Counterattack and Adversity
The digital weapons swarmed the group, intensifying the battle within the virtual space. ADAM was unleashing all his remaining strength, attempting to overwhelm the heroes and drive them back.
“His power is getting stronger… Don’t let your guard down!” Lydia warned the team.
Despite taking heavy fire, the group pressed on, advancing deeper into the fortress. Yet ADAM’s counterattacks became fiercer, pushing the protagonists to their limits. For a moment, it seemed like the battle was slipping out of their control.
Rising Again
Even as they found themselves on the defensive, the fans’ voices began to resonate once more within the virtual space. Their cheers, echoing through the digital realm, became a source of strength for Eve, who turned their support into energy.
“We can’t lose… Everyone is cheering for us!” Eve cried out, pouring her determination into her song.
Eve’s voice filled the virtual world with renewed hope, lifting the spirits of the heroes. With this newfound strength, the group rose again, preparing for a final assault on ADAM.
Prelude to the Final Battle
With Eve’s song breaking through ADAM’s defenses, the fortress began to show signs of collapse. The group knew that the final battle was imminent, and they steeled themselves for the ultimate confrontation.
“The next battle will be the last… Let’s take him down together!” Satoshi Koizumi (Loki) shouted, rallying the team for the final charge.
In the upcoming chapter, the final showdown with ADAM will unfold. Will the heroes emerge victorious in their battle for the virtual world?
