[Adam's POV!]

" Been a while. How is my favorite High Elf doing?" Wesker spoke with a smile on his face, but no one else seemed in a jolly mood.
Their eyes shifted between Wesker and me, and also sparing some glances at Morpheus, who had his black cloak removed.
While it seemed that everybody wanted to say something, not a single person uttered anything. I could see the tense expression where they didn't know what to speak.
" Sir Wesker!" And breaking the silence, a certain young witch ran across, jumping in the arms of Wesker with a tear filled face. Behind her was another girl of similar age, who seemed relieved rather than tense, unlike everyone else.
" Anna. Leena," Wesker patted Anna's head while he looked at Leena, before Morpheus joined in,
" Well. I guess we created quite a scene in all this mess. What are we going to do with this?"
In essence, when I created Wesker and Morpheus, I had two things in my mind.
Wesker would be the mind behind the 'Brothers of Salvation' and Morpheus would be the overlord of the underworld, including, but not limited to, the mercenary world.
Morpheus was made to have connections with any notorious and dark factions, and overtime controlling them from within.
Wesker would be the weak guy with the perfect planning and strategizing mind. He can predict anything and can see almost all things possible. At least that's how he should be portrayed.
Adam would be the mysterious guy who is a God-like being that nobody knows about. Everything about him should be unknown except that he should be treated on par with a God at the very least.
There would also be a demon hunter priest, Abraham Lincon.
A fire manipulator who uses no weapon, Falcon.
A musician who can use all the powers related to rhythm and frequency has not decided the name.
And finally, a 7th person. The leader of the Brothers of Salvation, name unknown, about whom nobody knows, even I don't, who will be responsible for all the things that the brothers would be responsible for.
" It's all right. Leader knew this was going to happen. Plus, we needed to bring Adam back from the Inverse World as well. Nothing out of control," Wesker spoke with a confidant look without a hint of concern on his face.
" Is that so?" I also made a relieved expression before I added," then that's fine. I was worried there for a second. Phew! Already have one strike."
While 'we' talked with each other, the others concentrated on our conversation with full focus. Not missing even a single word, as if these words were worth thousands of gold coins.
" Anyway. Now that my work is done here, what's next?" I asked as I looked at Wesker, who answered immediately,
" Go to the Mermaid Kingdom. You will meet with 'him' there. Ask him to come to the Nirvana Kingdom, and we need to do something there. There is a hint of 'them' there. After that, meet with Falcon on the Ravory Coast."
I nodded with an exasperated sigh before speaking," Mermaid Kingdom and Ravory Coast, huh? I guess it has been a while since I went there."
" Morpheus. I need you to infiltrate the World Order," Wesker said, making me smile a little. If not for enhanced senses, I might have missed the opportunity.
"?!!" Nvida was alarmed there, but we weren't concentrating on her.
" Sure. Though should I limit my powers or I can go as crazy as I want?" Morpheus smiled, making almost all the girls in the vicinity blush. Heck, even some men were mesmerized by that.
" Limit it to 10% until you meet a 2nd Order. You can go 20% when that time comes. If you come across a leader, then you can take it to 25% but that's the limit," Wesker commanded before adding,
" As for how to do it… we can surely come to terms with it, can't we? Miss Irene."
A green-haired girl with slightly curly but messy hair that reached a little below her waistline stood at a distance from us. She wore a green coloured one piece dress that reached as low as her hair length, and a white hoodie on top of that.
Her green eyes reflected her oceanic origin as they contained a slight crystal hue that only those from the sea had. And the green-coloured mana that was slightly visible to the naked eye explained the huge amounts of mana she contained.
Usually mana is transparent… but during certain circumstances where there is an overload of mana, the mana becomes slightly visible. It happens only under two circumstances.
One is where the mana pool is higher because of the death of a higher being or the birth of a God. And the other time is when the amount of mana released by an individual is so high that the surrounding mana gets overloaded.
Such was the person present in front of me.
Irene Campbell. Another one of the monstrous entities on this planet.
Though not as strong as a God, or even a Demi-God, her power level comes right after those. Under the right circumstances where the situation favors her, she might actually take on a God as well… and kill a Demi-God on her own.
If the situation is in her favor, that is.
" You know about me?" Irene smiled with no shred of surprise as she walked towards us.
" Miss Irene?!!" Nvida was shocked to see her here. Her eyes showed pure terror as she took a couple of steps back.
" Don't worry, child. I just came here to take a stroll after hearing all the commotion," she didn't look at Nvida, but Nvida nodded slightly without letting her guard down.
" Is that so? I was pretty sure you were here for me. That's a bummer," I smirked at her, making her chuckle a little. She observed me with a focused gaze, while also looking at Wesker and Morpheus from time to time.
" I was told that Adam, Morpehus and Wesker are the same person… seems like there was a mistake in the information," she spoke as her eyes glowed and she kept checking through the three of us.
" Hmm?"
Wesker spoke in a bit of a confused expression before looking at the sky for a brief moment. Then, after a slight laugh on his own, he spoke.
" Well. Let's settle things down first. We can chat all we want after that. Can you help me out a little here, Miss Risa?"
His eyes fell on the duke's wife, Risa Thompson, who had just reached here with her guards.
