Adam's death threatens the entirety of Creation as the Seals are broken.
And Titans will once more threaten the Earth.
When Earth had been Created, the very elements themselves used to form it had become Concepts. Ethereal creatures that roamed the planet. Simply roaming, coexisting with Life outside of Eden and within it.
They knew of the Angels' Creation and what lied within.
The Home of a New Species…Humanity.
Each had met the First Man and the First Women. Though it was He that gave them their Names.
Helped them understand their Purpose.
And they were content.
However, then came the Fall. Where all of Creation was Wounded.
And the Primordials had also been struck by it. As Animosity, Fear, Hunger, Instinct, all of it assaulted their minds.
And tragically, they too were wounded.
So the First Man, upon seeing the devastation they were forced to reap across the Earth, upon seeing how the Fall had warped their minds and their bodies, limiting them to flesh and bone where once they were energy and power.
He took pity on them.
And once more cursed those that had caused this.
But to protect his children.
To protect Humanity.
He needed to move forward.
At first, he fought the Piercer of Heaven. For 7 days and 7 nights they battled, their fight shaking the earth, boiling the seas and splitting the skies.
It was only in the crux of their conflict when Gold met Orange that they understood.
They both sought the same thing.
Balance.
And so they worked together, to fight against their former brethren.
Across decades and centuries, the two grew in strength, necessary to challenge those who would threaten the Balance.
And one by one, they were sealed away.
With sorrow, they banished the True Leviathan and Amhuluk to the utter depths of the Oceans, beneath trenches and plates to where the crust met the mantle, and they screamed at him in fury.
Tiamat, once kind and gentle, who had let him ride her back in the waters of Eden, now cursed him as she was sealed in the waters of the North.
With heavy hearts, they grounded those that soared freely across the skies.
Shinomura was buried beneath mountains.
Rodan, one of his closest friends, now slept beneath lava and obsidian.
The Jishin-Mushi were all but eradicated, only a few remaining dormant.
And those that roamed across the Earth, they subdued and put to sleep.
Behemoth and Methuselah, Scylla and Dagon…all of them were sealed away.
The rest, upon seeing their power, were forced to flee into the hollow depths of the Earth, where no Man could follow. Not even him.
But not all of them were lost.
He had kept three friends.
The Piercer of Heaven, who he'd dubbed the King of the Monsters.
And Mosura, crowned Queen.
And finally, Shimo, the Living Glacier.
Together, they would fight against the last Titan. A creature that admittedly he knew very little of, for it came from beyond Earth, from the edges of Creation, where matter was chaotic and unorganized, devoid of life, light, and warmth. It had visited Eden only once, but its mere presence had brought a Void into their hearts.
It was a Void.
He had named it Ghidorah, The One Who is Many.
The Fall had affected this Titan the most.
It had become a Void unto itself. Sadistic, malevolent and utterly devastating.
Their battle had shaken Creation.
Even together, it was an even match. Ghidorah was truly the worst foe he'd ever faced.
But soon enough, he was laid low, buried beneath the waters that weakened it before freezing it for all time and then thrust into the Pit.
Using the last of his power, Adam placed the final seal on its tomb, ensuring that it would remain imprisoned for eternity.
With the last Seal, Adam then applied them all to his Soul, binding them to him.
The battle was finished, the Earth was safe for his children…and so he turned and said goodbye to his friends.
Shimo was the first to leave, bowing her head before heading into the depths of the Hollows.
Mothra did about as close to a curtsy as a giant monster could before flying off, promising that she would watch over the Earth.
And to the last.
"Will you let me name you, old friend?" Adam asked as he looked into the eyes of his once enemy, now brother.
The Piercer of Heaven looked back at the First Man and acceptance was in its gaze.
Adam smiled.
"Godzilla."
And Godzilla rumbled before letting Adam touch his snout, an unseen connection built between them.
A silent promise, to maintain the Balance that has been fought for.
Godzilla departs then, diving into the sea and Adam turns around, returning home to his family once more.
100 years later, Adam would die peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his family.
Godzilla would feel his death and mourn to the Heavens.
But the Seals used to keep the Primordial Beasts did not break, for they had been tied to Adam's very soul.
And so when Adam appeared in Heaven, it was by his continued existence that Earth remained safe.
Thousands of Years Later
He should have expected this really…
He can hear Lute's voice crying out to him, but he's already starting to fade.
He's admittedly worried…but…he honestly can't find it within himself to care as much as he used to.
Earth was already chin-deep in sin. Every year, less and less winners were appearing, more and more sinners dropping into Hell…
It was practically a lost cause…
But with this?
Heh…just as fitting for a Morningstar, to screw over Creation one last time.
He manages the strength to grab Lute's hand and smile at her one last time.
He hopes his old friend will be able to beat back the Golden Demise.
Adam's heart beats its last.
His halo dims.
And all of Creation shudders.
Lucifer doesn't even get a chance to speak before Hell is suddenly quaking.
It starts slow, a sudden chanting that sends shivers down the spines of all who hear it.
A subtle roar, echoing throughout Hell.
Bo dai sat-ta e han-nya ha ra / fu i shiki shiki soku ze ku soku ze / ko ku chu mu shiki mu ju so gyo
Everything begins to shudder but their attention is caught by a giggling Lute who suddenly devolves into manic laughter.
They stare at her in silent horror as she descends into insanity.
"...hehe heeheehee…you've done it now Morningstars…once again…you've ruined Creation…"
Charlie flinches but gulps.
"What do you mean, what's happening?"
Lute is still laughing, but now sobs are mixed with it.
Bo dai sat-ta e han-nya ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo jin nai
Bo dai sat-ta e han-nya ha ra / fu i shiki shiki soku ze ku soku ze / ko ku chu mu shiki mu ju so gyo
"Adam was the only thing holding it back…but with his death, the Seal has been broken…and now all of Creation will be devoured…"
Hell continued to rumble, the quakes now increasing in intensity as everyone began to look around in fear.
Even Lucifer was shaken.
Bo dai sat-ta e han-nya ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo jin nai
"It can't be…I thought it was dead…"
All of Hell shuddered as they could hear what sounded like thunder from below them.
Bo dai sat-ta e han-nya ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo ha ra / mu mu myo yaku mu mu myo jin nai

And suddenly, Pride shattered into pieces, as something erupted from below. The entire center of Pride, including the Embassy then falls into the pit below, millions upon millions of sinners falling down through it.
They can only stare in horror at the deep crevasse, fire erupting from it, followed by heavy plumes of smoke and ash.
A rumbling noise emits from below as air is dragged through as if something was taking a breath.
Lightning surges through the clouds.
A long tail emerges from the hole, spines stretching out after thousands of years of immobilization.
Then a draconic head, adorned with golden scales and wearing a crown of horns appeared, shaking its head from the fugue.
Followed by a second and a third head, with another tail as a cherry on top.
Everyone stared at the creature in horror, knowing that this was something far beyond them.
"It's alive…" Lucifer whispered in horror as one of the heads screeched before slamming its tail onto Pride, sending more debris and sinners falling.
The same creature that had ravaged Earth so long ago. It had even forayed into his Kingdom and ravished it, with him utterly helpless against it.
"Behold Morningstars," Lute called out. "You have brought about the End of the Earth…this will be your ruin…Ghidorah."
With a roar, its wings burst out, sending rock and buildings scattering.
All around Pride, sinners began to open fire upon the creature, their arms absolutely useless against it.
They watched as golden energy traveled up its throats as it hissed in annoyance.
SCREEE
With a crack of thunder, lightning erupted from its mouth, thousands upon thousands of sinners being completely eviscerated in an instant, their souls eradicated completely.
Charlie fell to her knees, completely catatonic as she saw everything being destroyed.
She'd done this…
This was all her fault.
The creature then charged its attack again before aiming skyward. The ensuing eruption caused the lightning to clash against the very fabric of Hell and it quickly shattered into pieces, exposing Hell once more to the living.
With another screech, it bat its wings, flying upwards through the Break in Reality.
On Earth, the sudden Rupture caused mass panic as thousands began to fall into Hell without going through death first.
Though it would quickly be a moot point.
The Golden Dragon found its perch on top of a volcano, already erupting due to the actions of the Dragon.
And spread its wings before giving out its call that echoed throughout all the Earth.
Adam had fallen.
And thus the Titans, the Primordial Beasts that had walked the Earth would ravage it once more.
Hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think.
Thanks to the poll in the FMC, the next chapter will be Adam if he had Ryujin Jakka (it's gonna be fun.)
