Born With A Divine System

CHAPTER 36: WAR (2)

Two heavenly beings drifted across an endless dark sky tinged with a deep crimson hue. The expanse was dotted with planets as large as newborn dwarf stars, each ensnared by colossal chains that wrapped around them, anchoring endless worlds together in a cosmic tapestry. On these worlds, hordes of sinful souls were scattered, condemned to endure eternal torture under the relentless flames of the All-Consuming Fires.

"Father," Michael called out, his voice resonating in the void.

"Yes, my child," responded the Lord, his presence serene in nature.

"What makes him different? Why is Adam so strong?"

Michael inquired; his curiosity piqued.

There was a brief pause.

"You know, you're not the first to ask me this," the Lord replied with a benevolent smile.

"But why do you desire this knowledge?"

"Is curiosity not a good enough reason?" Michael countered.

"Is it really curiosity, or concern?" the Lord asked with a knowing gaze.

"A little of both," Michael admitted.

The Lord gave a hardy laugh.

"I haven't told anyone else this, so be sure to keep it a secret," the Lord confided.

"What of Adam? Does he know?" Michael pressed further.

"He'll figure it out eventually," the Lord said calmly, a hint of amusement in his tone.

When the Lord forged Adam from dust, He bestowed upon him three unparalleled advantages, elevating him above every other being in creation. The first of these gifts was his body. Each cell, muscle, and bone was meticulously crafted to perfection. From the very beginning, Adam's body was that of a god, designed to excel in all things. The Lord had sculpted the form he would have desired for himself as a warrior. If God were a fighter, he would be Adam.

Adam's physical form was an embodiment of divine craftsmanship. His muscles were imbued with boundless potential, capable of exerting force beyond mortal limits. His bones were as resilient as the foundations of the universe, unbreakable and enduring. Every cell in his body radiated pure energy, continually evolving, granting him unparalleled vitality and endurance.

His reflexes were honed to perfection, enabling him to react with impeccable precision. His senses were heightened beyond the natural realm, allowing him to perceive the subtlest of changes in his environment. Whether in combat, where his prowess was unmatched, or in feats of strength and agility, Adam was the epitome of physical excellence.

Moreover, his mind was a repository of divine wisdom. Infused with knowledge and insight, he could grasp complex concepts effortlessly and devise strategies with unmatched clarity. His intellect was a beacon of understanding, illuminating the mysteries of existence and guiding his actions with unwavering purpose.

In essence, the Lord had created Adam as the ultimate being, the living embodiment of strength.

Then there is Adam's contract with God, a pact so profound and binding that it transcends the limits of possibility. A contract, a mutual, unbreakable agreement between two individuals of immense power. It is a covenant wherein there is always an exchange—a give-and-take relationship that ensures balance. Such agreements can be forged between two beings, between one and oneself, or even between one and the entirety of creation itself.

The contract between the Lord and Adam, however, was established as a uniquely one-sided agreement. The specifications of this divine contract were both simple and staggering in their implications.
