White Zetsu finally got what it wished for — it saw its nightmare, 'Adam.'
He was seated cross-legged inside the vast Corpse Cathedral.
A huge cross above cast a soft, gentle light, making him look like a god.
Adam's eyes were tightly closed, his expression filled with compassion.
His brows were slightly furrowed, lips pressed tightly, as if lost in a deep dream.
"Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Looking right at Adam, White Zetsu felt a joy it had never known before.
It laughed loudly and wildly, as if releasing all the long-suppressed negative feelings inside.
It vented the resentment it had swallowed for so long!
"Adam, look at you now!"
Its face twisted with madness, red bloodshot eyes staring fiercely at the sleeping Adam.
"Didn't expect this, did you? Your creation actually stands before you one day. Soon, it will surpass you and take everything from you!"
These words had been bottled up inside White Zetsu for a long time.
Now, it could finally say them out loud, right in front of Adam!
It felt so free!
So incredibly free!
Like drinking a big gulp of ice water on the hottest day of summer — refreshing from head to toe!
Especially because it could see the once lofty Adam, now powerless and at its mercy.
White Zetsu felt a deep, indescribable satisfaction in its heart.
"Adam, oh Adam, open your eyes and look at me!"
It looked like a petty man reveling in his small victories, circling around the seated Adam and examining him from head to toe.
It seemed like it wanted to lift Adam's eyelids and force him to see its current state!
But sadly, Adam was still lost in his dream and couldn't see White Zetsu at all.
This made it feel a bit regretful.
"Well, it doesn't matter anymore."
White Zetsu stepped right in front of Adam, looking down at him with a cruel sneer.
"So this is how it feels to look down on others from above."
Before, Adam was always the one towering above, while White Zetsu had to kneel like a dog below the shrine, head pressed to the ground, never daring to look straight at the bronze throne where Adam sat like a god.
But now, it could finally see the once lofty "Creator" from the same perspective.
Rebellion mixed with many emotions made White Zetsu's smile even more savage and colder.
"It's time to end this, Adam."
As it spoke, it suddenly raised its hand, its palm slicing like a blade.
Shhh!
The sharp palm, like a steel knife, cut through Adam's neck.
A head rolled off, blood spurting three meters high from the severed neck.
The body, still sitting cross-legged, wobbled before finally collapsing.
"So this is how it feels to personally kill the 'Creator,'" White Zetsu murmured with narrowed eyes.
Though covered in blood, it showed no disgust.
Instead, it wore an expression of enjoyment, licking the blood at the corner of its mouth.
Its cold eyes suddenly turned toward the fallen head.
"Oh right, I almost forgot." It sneered, stepping toward the head and lightly pressing its foot down.
"You're a Sequence 4 demigod and a Beyonder of Spectator Pathway. Though cutting off your head can kill you, I'm not like you—I won't leave any trouble behind!"
Crack!
With those words, it pressed down hard.
Adam's blood-soaked head was crushed beneath its foot.
After this, White Zetsu was still not satisfied.
It destroyed Adam's entire body until not a single cell remained.
Then, it searched the island of consciousness thoroughly to be sure.
Adam was truly dead.
There was no chance of resurrection.
He had been completely erased from the root.
"Adam, you failed for only one reason."
White Zetsu closed his eyes, a faint smile curling at the corners of his lips. He muttered to himself, "So, before falling into deep sleep, you didn't completely eliminate me. That's why you ended up like this—killed by your own creation. But from now on, I will take your place and surpass you completely!"
'Adam' was already dead!
A Beyonder Characteristics was extracted, and White Zetsu naturally claimed it for himself.
He looked around once again, intending to find the 'inheritance' Adam had left behind. As expected, a bloodstained card quietly lay on the ground.
Picking up the card, White Zetsu was overjoyed. "Found it! Found it!"
It turned out that the card clearly recorded the complete 'Spectator' pathway, from Sequence Nine down to Sequence Zero, even including the potion recipes.
"Sequence Zero Visionary!"
White Zetsu's eyes fixed deeply on the name at the very top of the card.
Next, he planned to find the 'inheritance' of the 'Dragon of Imagination' Ankewelt, believing it must have been hidden by Adam.
But no matter how thoroughly he searched every corner of the temple, he couldn't find the inheritance.
Suddenly, White Zetsu noticed a conspicuous cross. A spark lit in his eyes.
"Right, how could I forget? I haven't checked this place yet!"
The most important thing is often hidden in the most obvious place—under the light, where shadows gather.
Without any respect, White Zetsu pushed the cross down. Sure enough, beneath it, he lifted a square tile and found the 'inheritance' of the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt!
"Hahaha, I knew it was here!"
White Zetsu laughed wildly, his face full of ecstatic joy.
The inheritance of the Dragon of Imagination Ankewelt was none other than four 'potions' from Sequence Three, Two, One, and Zero.
They were neatly arranged inside a box, radiating an overwhelming pressure that sent chills down one's spine.
"Now, they all belong to me!"
White Zetsu gathered all the Beyonder potions into his possession.
After leaving the "Groselle's Travels" and returning to the Ninja World, White Zetsu quickly absorbed the Sequence Four potion.
During this time, he disguised himself as "Adam" and took control of the Twilight Hermits.
Orochimaru, Onoki of the Two Scales, and Konan were all killed and replaced by his pawns.
The style of the Twilight Hermits changed completely, beginning to dominate the Ninja World and forcing billions of lives to serve them.
Anyone who resisted was wiped out by the Twilight Hermits.
Uchiha Obito feared his power and ultimately chose to submit, becoming his most loyal dog!
Just like himself once before.
But White Zetsu was no "Adam." He was far more ruthless and cruel in his methods!
With the potions, White Zetsu's advancement was unstoppable.
With the Twilight Hermits backing him, even difficult rituals became simple.
Sequence Three: The Dream Weaver.
Sequence Two: The Discerner.
Sequence One: The Author.
For the final step, White Zetsu prepared for hundreds of years.
The entire Ninja World's population was rapidly declining under the ravages of the Twilight Hermits.
But White Zetsu did not care about this. He only cared about fulfilling the ritual's demands!
Finally, White Zetsu met the conditions for Advancement.
On that day, in front of billions of living beings, he consumed the Sequence Zero potion and ascended to become a "True God," the only deity in existence — Sequence Zero, the "Visionary."
He could clearly feel his omnipotence.
That day, White Zetsu spoke and said, "Let there be light," and the whole world was bathed in radiant light.
His body overflowed with infinite power; even the sun in the universe could be extinguished by his word and revived by another.
White Zetsu enjoyed the cheers and shouts of billions, lost in the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
