Perhaps it was because of the Power of Faith within him, the raging flames on the Holy Sword didn't make Mike feel any discomfort; instead, it felt warm to the touch.
"This is indeed a good sword..."
Mike, greatly excited, casually swung the Flame Holy Sword in his hand a few times. Countless flames flew out, forming a flame barrier around him.
And as the flames changed shape, the roars of wild beasts could be heard from time to time.
It could be said that this Flame Holy Sword, with an energy value of 9999+, already surpassed most angels and great demons in terms of power alone.
"Stop playing, Mike! Adam's condition is very bad..."
Raphael, isolated outside the flame barrier, urgently called out.
Because the suppression of the Holy Sword was lost, the demonic power within Adam completely awakened, and a pair of Demon Horns grew on his head.
His consciousness was also gradually being swallowed by darkness...
Mike even saw the phantom of Satan, the King of Hell, on him.
"Kid, do you want to destroy the world?" Mike, holding the Flame Holy Sword, looked at the now corrupted boy in front of him.
"Destroy the world? No, I want to rule the world!!!" Adam's eyes were blood-red, and his words were filled with an inexplicable violent emotion.
Watching Mike slowly raise the Holy Sword, Raphael and Crowley's expressions behind him became extremely tense.
They wanted to stop him, but they couldn't break through the flame barrier.
At this point, Adam's fate was entirely up to Mike.
"Rule the world?" Mike placed the Flame Holy Sword against Adam's neck and continued to ask, "Then after ruling the world, what do you want to do?"
Yes, what would he do after ruling the world?
Adam, emitting an ominous black aura, seemed to be stumped by this question.
So much so that his blood-red eyes became a bit clearer.
"Ru... After ruling the world, I want Sam and them to continue being my friends, and then play with me..." Finally, Adam gave a childish answer.
It was this answer that made the Flame Holy Sword leave his neck.
Facts proved that environment indeed greatly influences one's growth. Even when Adam, from a happy family, became corrupted, his heart remained kind.
In short, there was still hope for him...
Immediately, Mike absorbed the Flame Holy Sword back into his body, then condensed the Power of Purification and threw it onto Adam.
As the black aura on him was purified, Adam gradually regained consciousness. And having lost his power, he then fell from the air.
Raphael, who had been watching from the side, rushed over to catch the boy the moment the flame barrier disappeared.
"What happened to me? My head hurts so much..."
In Raphael's arms, Adam, after regaining consciousness, still looked a bit confused, as if he didn't remember anything that had happened before.
Seeing this, Raphael quickly used a Blessing on the little guy and then asked, "How about now? How do you feel? Is it better?"
The Power of Faith had a miraculous effect on healing mental pain.
"I'm much better, thank you." Adam's brow quickly relaxed, and then he jumped up and said, "Oh, right, I remember now. I pushed Sam earlier, I need to go apologize to him..."
But before Adam could go after his little friends, Mike stopped him.
"Now is not the time for you to leave..." Mike said, "You must have noticed the abnormality on your body, right?"
Satan's plan wouldn't end so easily, so Adam was still useful to Mike and the others.
"I, I..." Adam had recalled many things, including the scenes from Hell in his nightmares.
But being just a child, he didn't dare to reveal these things.
Moreover, he vaguely remembered Mike holding the Flame Holy Sword earlier. Confusion coupled with fear made his expression seem a bit lost at this moment.
"Don't be afraid, child. We are not bad people..." Raphael stepped forward to comfort Adam, explaining, "The reason you've experienced all this is related to your identity. You're actually an Angel from heaven..."
Then, Raphael told Adam everything about his past life and how Satan had tampered with him more than ten years ago.
"If all this is true, then what Satan told me in my dream about destroying the world is also true..." Because of today's miraculous experience, Adam easily accepted Raphael's explanation, and even noticed details he hadn't paid attention to before.
"Satan told you to destroy the world? Can you be more specific?" When it came to serious matters, Raphael's expression also became solemn.
"In my dream, a demon who called himself the King of Hell told me I was the Son of the Demon. He also said he would send me helpers like the Apocalypse Four Horsemen and Hellhounds..." Adam, also realizing the seriousness of the problem, recalled, "Finally, he told me that when the time came, those helpers would help me occupy the London weapons base, and then launch a war on the human world..."
If it were before, Adam would have just thought it was a dream, after all, he didn't even know what war meant.
But now, Adam seemed to realize that his existence would bring disaster to others.
"What should I do?" Adam's expression became solemn.
Combined with the information obtained from the Great Demon, it was true that Satan sent the Apocalypse Four Horsemen to Adam, so it must also be true that Satan wanted to use Adam to launch a nuclear war.
The Four Horsemen: War, Pestilence, Famine, Death.
Once these four demons gained a foothold in the human world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Don't worry, Adam. With us here, none of that will happen..." Even though Raphael was equally worried, he still tried his best to comfort the young boy in front of him, and then prompted, "Adam, think again, what else did Satan tell you?"
There was no way around it, Satan's title as the King of Hell was there, and Raphael couldn't help but take it seriously.
Moreover, Satan's ambition seemed very great this time.
"What else did he tell me? It seems like nothing else..." Adam tried hard to recall, then suddenly said in horror, "Oh, right, 'Dog'. After I had that kind of nightmare for the first time, I picked up Dog. At first, it didn't seem that good—"
Among various coincidences, Adam suspected that the little white dog he named 'Dog' was a Hellhound sent by Satan.
Facts proved that his feeling was correct.
'Dog' was indeed a Hellhound sent by Satan, but it only transformed into a cute little white dog because of its new owner Adam's "request."
At this moment, the Hellhound named Dog was being held up by the scruff of its neck by Mike.
Feeling danger approaching, the Hellhound struggled and revealed its true form.
It was a huge black demonic dog with three heads.
Looking at the disobedient Hellhound in his hand, Mike condensed a sacred white light in his hand and roughly threw it onto the dog's head.
As soon as the inherently evil Hellhound touched the white light, it let out a mournful wail, and its entire body rapidly shrank like melting snow.
Seeing this "cruel" scene, Adam opened his mouth, wanting to stop it. But thinking that it was a Hellhound sent by Satan, he finally closed his mouth.
Then, he even turned his gaze away, unable to bear watching anymore.
A few seconds later, the Hellhound completely shed its demonic form and became a truly good dog.
Yes, Mike didn't kill it, but instead used the Power of Purification again to cleanse the demonic energy from the Hellhound.
"Woof woof... woof..."
And Dog, having regained its freedom, happily ran back to its little master's side.
"You're okay, that's great—"
Adam felt his pant leg being bitten and looked down to see the "silly and cute" little white dog.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Adam was excited to see his familiar Dog again and hugged it into his arms.
Seeing Adam and the little dog interact, Raphael couldn't help but show an "auntie smile."
Crowley, the Great Demon, on the side, although his expression didn't change much, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"I knew you were a good person." After the happiness, Raphael didn't forget to praise Mike.
"Good person? That title doesn't suit me." Mike rejected Raphael's presumption, then said, "It's too early to be happy; this matter is far from over. Especially Adam, although I have temporarily helped him expel the demonic energy from his body, I can feel that a greater evil power is still hidden within him..."
The Demon Heart within Adam was condensed from Satan's will.
With Mike's current ability, he couldn't completely cleanse it.
Moreover, this time, to launch the war, Satan also sent helpers like the Apocalypse Four Horsemen and fire demons. Even without Adam leading, a nuclear war could still break out.
