Creation Of All Things-Chapter 65 : Family Reunion

Few minutes earlier

WHOOSH!

A gust of wind kicked up dust as Clone Adam landed outside the portal, his parents in his arms. The sight sent shockwaves through the crowd.

Selene's eyes widened. "Wait… you already took down the Monarch?"

She hurried toward him, scanning the battered but recovering figures of his parents.

Clone Adam grinned. "Nah, the boss is still handling that. He just sent me to bring them out and patch them up."

His casual tone made Selene narrow her eyes, suspicion creeping in.

Then—

Adam's hands glowed green. A soft hum filled the air as he placed his palms over his parents. Instantly, their wounds vanished, color rushing back to their faces like life itself was being poured back in.

A hushed silence fell over the group.

Then—

"That's just… a clone?" Thomas muttered, his voice laced with disbelief.

He had sensed it—something off, something unnatural. The Adam standing before them wasn't real. But the sheer presence of him, the aura he radiated—

It was identical to the original.

Selene caught the whisper. "What do you mean a clone?" Her sharp gaze flicked to Thomas.

Even Alice and Joshua leaned in, their attention locked on him.

Thomas exhaled, shaking his head. "I don't know how… but that's not the real Adam. It's just a clone—

"A clone using abilities."

"Adam?"

Freya's weak voice cut through the air as her eyes fluttered open. Her vision cleared—and there he was.

A soft smile tugged at her lips. Her son.

Even if it was just for a moment before the end, she was grateful to see him one last time.

But—

Clone Adam smiled back, sadness flickering in his golden eyes. "Mom, you're going to be fine. I made sure of it. You, Dad, Alfred, Aria… the boss, all of you together again. As a family."

Freya blinked. His words didn't make sense—until she noticed something.

The pain was gone.

Completely.

Her body no longer ached, her strength had returned, and—she wasn't in the prison dimension anymore. She sat up in shock, her gaze darting around.

Selene. Thomas.

Joshua—someone unfamiliar.

Then—Alice.

Her sister's child.

Her breath hitched. She turned beside her—and her heart nearly stopped.

Raphael was already standing.

No one had even seen him get up, yet there he was—strong, alive, and brimming with energy.

His gaze was locked on the sky. "He did it."

Then—

BOOOOOM!

The portal trembled—cracks ran through its surface—before it exploded in a burst of light.

And from the golden storm—

Adam descended.

Floating in the air, exuding an overwhelming presence.

Beside him—Alexandria, pouting like a child.

Freya's breath caught as she looked between them. Two Adams?

Her head snapped back and forth, confusion spreading across her face.

That was when Clone Adam grinned.

"I'm just a clone."

And with that—

WHOOSH!

His body dissolved into smoke, vanishing into the wind.

"Mom… Dad…"

Adam's voice trembled as he hovered in the sky. Then—

WHOOSH!

He descended in a flash, landing in front of them. Without hesitation, he pulled them both into a tight embrace.

His body shook. His grip tightened.

"I missed you both so much…" His voice cracked, his face buried in Freya's shoulder.

"I thought you were gone. We all did." His breath hitched, and for the first time in so long—tears spilled down his face. Raw. Uncontrolled. Real.

Raphael and Freya stiffened—then slowly, their arms wrapped around him.

Warmth.

After so many years—warmth.

Adam pulled back slightly, sniffling, his golden eyes shimmering. "Alfred and Aria… they missed you too. But they grew up strong, Mom, just like you. They inherited your powers—fire and ice. They're amazing. They're strong. Grandma made sure they had everything they needed. She had them enrolled in the Academy."

He turned to Raphael, his grip still firm. "Dad… please… don't go away again."

There was no trace of the warrior who had crushed a Monarch. No overwhelming presence.

Just a son.

A son who had been without his parents for too long.

Freya cupped his face, her fingers trembling. "Adam… look at you. You've grown so much."

Raphael took a shaky breath, his usual composure cracking. "We thought we'd never see you again."

Adam laughed through his tears, wiping at his face. "Yeah, well, I make the impossible happen these days."

Freya wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled. "Really now? What kind of impossible things have you done?"

Adam smirked, crossing his arms. "Well… for starters, I got awakened recently and went toe-to-toe with a Family Head. Almost beat her to a pulp—if your Dad hadn't interfered."

"HUH?!"

Selene's face twitched as she stomped forward. "What did you just say, brat? Who did you almost beat to a pulp?!"

Adam turned to her, eyes gleaming with mischief. His grin widened, a silent challenge in his gaze. "You wanna go for round two?"

Selene's eyebrow twitched. "You little—!"

Before she could grab him, Freya burst into laughter, pulling Adam into another hug. "My son is a monster now, huh? You've really become something else."

She hugged him tighter, feeling the strength in his body. He had grown. No—he had surpassed them in ways she never thought possible.

After a moment, she pulled back and turned to Thomas and Selene, her gaze softening. "It's been too long."

Meanwhile, Raphael and Adam stood face-to-face.

Raphael let out a long sigh. "This world… your mother and I tried to keep you away from it. But fate had other plans." He crossed his arms, his gaze sharp but proud. "And now? You've become strong enough to rival even me. I never imagined it. But…"

A grin spread across his face. "Now that you are, I finally get to go all out in a fight. What do you say, son?"

Adam's lips curled into a smirk, his golden eyes gleaming. "I like the sound of that."

He looked up at the sky for a brief moment before glancing back at his father. "Being at the top of the world… it's lonely. Even if it's just for a moment."

Raphael chuckled. "Then let's change that."

The air around them crackled—father and son, standing as equals for the first time.
