麻豆国内剧情av在线素人搭讪

Laden\'s dark armor gleamed under the dim light of the sky, his jaw clenched tight, his expression a mask of restrained fury. He towered over Adams, his eyes a cold, piercing gaze that seemed to cut through the very soul of his son. But deep within, there was a flicker of something else—something that neither pride nor rage could fully conceal.

Pity.

Adams\' breath came in shallow, ragged gasps, each inhalation a struggle against the pain that wracked his battered body. His legs wobbled, on the verge of collapse, but still, he planted his feet into the cracked earth, standing his ground, defiant as ever. His chest heaved, ribs shattered beneath layers of bruised skin, yet he refused to fall.

For a moment, Laden hesitated. He studied his son, his lips pressing into a thin line. The father in him stirred, a quiet, almost unnoticeable tremor of doubt flickering behind his steel gaze. His son, broken as he was, still stood, still fought, still believed in some foolish notion of stopping him. It was almost admirable, even as it was utterly foolish.

"Adams," Laden\'s voice cut through the silence, a deep, resonant baritone laced with cold command, but underneath, there was a note of caution. "This is over. Stand down. You\'ve proven your point. Walk away."

Adams, blood dripping from his lips, smiled faintly, shaking his head. "No," he whispered, his voice hoarse but filled with ironclad resolve. "I\'d rather die... than watch you become a man you\'d regret."

Laden\'s face hardened again. His son had chosen death, then. A fool\'s choice.

Before Laden could speak, Adams took a slow, deliberate step forward. His knees nearly buckled, but he managed to keep himself upright, even if barely. His chest heaved, each breath more laborious than the last, his vision blurring, yet there was something terrifyingly calm in his demeanor now.

Adams raised his hand, and slowly, deliberately, began to weave a series of complex hand signs, each movement fluid despite the pain wracking his body. His fingers moved with precision, though tremors ran through his weakened frame. Laden\'s eyes narrowed, his body stiffening, a flicker of unease crossing his sharp features.

"No..." Laden whispered under his breath, recognizing the pattern. His eyes widened in alarm, not for himself, but for Adams. His lips tightened into a grim line as he watched his son continue the hand signs.

"Stop it," Laden commanded, stepping closer, his sword still drawn but held loosely now. "You\'re too weak to pull that off. If you continue, you\'ll—"

Adams smiled through the blood and agony, a small, sad smile. "I know," he rasped, his voice barely above a whisper. He didn\'t stop. His fingers blurred through the last few signs, his movements deliberate yet sluggish from exhaustion.

Laden\'s face darkened, his eyes flashing with concern. "Adams," he said, his voice sharper now, a tinge of fear creeping into the edges of his words. "Stop this now. This isn\'t strength. It\'s suicide!"

But Adams ignored his father\'s plea. His hands moved with the final seal, his face pale, his eyes glowing with a quiet, almost serene defiance. He glanced up at Laden, locking eyes with his father one last time.

"I hope you change your mind," Adams murmured softly, his voice faint but unwavering. "While you\'re hibernating."

Laden\'s eyes widened, a mix of frustration, fury, and desperation flashing across his face. He lunged forward, intending to stop his son before it was too late, but it was already done. Adams whispered the name of the technique.

"Celestial Requiem."

The air around them stilled, the atmosphere heavy with tension, as if the very fabric of reality was holding its breath. The ground trembled beneath their feet, cracks spiderwebbing out from where Adams stood, his body now enveloped in a faint, shimmering aura of golden light. His eyes shone brightly for just a moment, like twin stars in the encroaching darkness.

Laden froze in place, staring at his son with a mixture of shock and disbelief. He knew the technique. It was one of the most dangerous, most forbidden techniques—one that sacrificed the user\'s life force to unleash a cataclysmic wave of energy capable of destroying everything within miles. It wasn\'t a technique to be used lightly. It wasn\'t a technique to be used at all.

Adams\' body began to glow with an intense, radiant light, golden and pure, but there was an undeniable fragility to it, like a dying flame flickering in the wind. His body trembled violently, the strain of the technique evident in every fiber of his being. His legs wobbled, and for a moment, it seemed like he might collapse, but somehow, he remained standing, though barely.

Laden\'s face twisted in fury and desperation. "You idiot!" he roared, his voice echoing across the desolate wasteland. "Do you think this will save you? Do you think this will change anything?"

But Adams just smiled, a faint, tired smile, filled with both sorrow and peace. His eyes, despite the agony coursing through him, held a quiet resolution, a calm acceptance of what was to come.

The energy around Adams swelled, growing larger, brighter, until the very ground beneath him began to crack and disintegrate under the sheer force of it. His body, fragile and broken, started to wither, his skin paling as his life force was drained to fuel the technique. But still, his smile remained.

Laden\'s fists clenched tightly at his sides, his jaw set in grim determination. He knew what was about to happen. He could sense the magnitude of the energy Adams had unleashed, and he knew that if he didn\'t act now, his son would be lost forever.

With a growl of frustration, Laden surged forward, his body moving faster than a blink, his dark sword raised high as he prepared to end this before the technique could fully take effect.

But Adams saw him coming. With the last of his strength, he raised one hand, his fingers glowing with the remnants of the golden light. He wasn\'t fighting anymore. He was stalling.

"Goodbye, Father," Adams whispered.

Laden\'s sword crashed down, but it was too late. The technique activated.

A massive, blinding explosion of golden light erupted from Adams\' body, expanding outward in all directions with devastating force. Laden barely had time to shield himself as the shockwave slammed into him, sending him flying backward, his body skidding across the cracked earth as the ground beneath him was torn apart by the sheer force of the blast.

The entire wasteland was consumed by the light, a radiant, cataclysmic display of power that seemed to tear the very sky apart. The ground shattered, the wind howled, and for miles around, nothing but destruction followed in the wake of Adams\' final, desperate attack.

When the light finally faded, the once desolate landscape was reduced to little more than a smoldering crater. The ground was scorched, the air thick with the scent of burnt earth and ash. There was no sound now, only silence, a haunting, empty silence that seemed to stretch on forever.

In the center of the crater, Adams lay motionless, his body broken and battered, the faint glow of golden energy flickering weakly around him. His eyes were closed, his chest barely rising and falling with shallow, labored breaths.

Laden stood at the edge of the crater, his dark armor battered and scorched, his sword still in hand. He stared down at his son, his face a mixture of anger, sorrow, and regret.

Adams had survived, barely, but at what cost? He had sacrificed everything to stop his father, and now, lying on the edge of death, he had won.

But Laden didn\'t feel victorious. All he felt was the bitter sting of loss.

Laden fell to his knees, his body trembling as blood spattered from his mouth. The once imposing figure now crumbled, his chest heaving with labored breaths. His sword clattered to the ground beside him, forgotten in the chaos of the battle. His hands trembled as he pressed them against the cracked earth, trying to steady himself. But his strength was failing.

His face, once emotionless and cold, twisted in anguish. His vision blurred as tears welled up in his eyes, and in that moment, the memory of his wife washed over him—her gentle smile, her warmth, and the promise they made to protect their family at all costs. His chest tightened as the weight of her absence crashed down on him.

Through his blurry vision, Laden looked at Adams, lying motionless on the ground, his body broken and battered. His son was at death\'s door, his breaths shallow, his face pale, but still—still—he smiled. That same smile his mother had worn on the day she passed, peaceful and content, as if Adams knew he had done what needed to be done.

The tears fell freely now, tracing lines through the blood and grime on Laden\'s face. He clenched his fists, his body shaking with grief and rage. The pain of losing his wife had never healed, and now—now he had lost his son too.

Laden\'s heart twisted, the hollowness within him deepening. The fleeting moment of doubt that had crept into his mind before—the second thoughts about his plan—was now gone. He could feel the cold resolve hardening in his chest. This was the cost of weakness, the price of letting his heart waver. Never again.

He would destroy the planes, wipe out everything in his way, and with that destruction, he would reunite with his family. Whatever the cost.

As Laden wept silently, his mind was already made up. The loss of Adams, his son—his blood—only solidified the path he had chosen. His plan would go forward, and nothing would stand in his way. He would tear apart worlds if he had to. The planes, the people—they were nothing but obstacles now. He would find a way, no matter how many had to die, no matter how much blood had to be spilled.

Adams, unaware of the true effect his sacrifice had on his father, lay motionless on the cold, barren ground. His breathing was faint, his body trembling from the immense backlash of the technique he had unleashed. He had done it. He had hoped that in these final moments, Laden would realize the cost of his actions, that he would see the devastation he was about to cause and reconsider.

But Adams never saw the tears in his father\'s eyes.

His vision grew darker, and the pain that had once coursed through his body was slowly fading. The world around him blurred, and the only thing that remained clear in his mind was the thought of his mother. That same, comforting image he had clung to throughout his life. He was on his way to meet her now.

With a soft, almost serene smile, Adams gave up the fight. His body relaxed, the tension leaving him as he allowed himself to drift into the void. There was no fear, no regret—only peace. He had tried. He had fought with everything he had to stop his father, to save him from the darkness that threatened to consume him.

Adams\' final breath left his lips, and his smile remained, a small, bittersweet comfort in the desolate wasteland. He has done all he could. Now, he could rest.
