Adam/Spectator Mode-2

## Adam

**Adam** is Humanity's representative in the second round of **Ragnarök**, going against **Shiva**.

Adam is the Progenitor of Humanity. He is believed to be "**The Man Who Despises the Gods the Most**" (最も神を憎む, Mottomo Kami o Nikumu Otoko) and "**The Ultimate Survivalist**" (正真正銘の主義, Shōshinshōmei no Genkotsu Shugi). He was first introduced by Brynhildr as "**File No.00000000001**" (ファイルNo.00000000001, Fairu Nanbā 00000000001).

## Appearance

Adam takes the form of a short, young and muscular man with supreme beauty that even aroused the Gods. Adam has platinum-blond hair, and big sky blue eloquent eyes. When he lived in the Garden of Eden with Eve, he was fully naked, but when he was exiled to Earth, he covered his groin with a single classical fig leaf covering. He is often seen holding or eating an apple, and in his battle against Shiva, he wears a divine knuckleduster in his right hand.

## Personality

Adam is said to define the very Essence of a "Man" and is described as being a "Man Among Men".

Adam is a very calm, collected, and carefree individual; speaking to Shiva in a very casual manner, much to the chagrin of the other Gods present. He's even shown to be disrespectful of the latter like when he bit multiple apples and spit them on the floor, not caring about the Gods' concern. He was also quite confident in his capabilities, informing Shiva that he'd regret not using a weapon in their fight. Later, it is revealed that Adam holds no grudge against Heaven and the Gods, despite the fact the Serpent assaulted Eve and then framed her when he was elsewhere, resulting in Humanity's banishment from Eden. Adam is also ruthless in defending those dear to him, mercilessly striking down the Serpent and brutally attacking his creators.

Adam displayed selflessness to the highest degree, pushing himself past his limits in his fight against a God to give Humanity a bit of hope. Adam's love for his children was strong enough that, even in a battle for his life, he only thought of protecting Humanity from anyone who'd try and do them harm. He is also shown to be somewhat merciful, like when he thought Shiva was going to forfeit. Despite using only a fig leaf to cover himself, Adam never shows any embarrassment over his lack of clothing.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: As the first and original man created in the image and likeness of a God, Adam was considered by Brynhildr to be her "Trump Card" against the Gods.

### Physical Abilities

**Godly Strength**: Adam possesses immeasurable and unfathomable physical strength, capable of harming the likes of Shiva with his punches. With assistance from **Divine Reflection**, Adam was able to blow Shiva's arms off. Even without the usage of his special eyes, Adam was strong enough to break the floor of the Valhalla Arena, with his base strength alone, without putting any effort.

**Godly Beauty**: As a being created in the image of the Gods, Adam possesses divine beauty and is far more attractive than most mortals.

**Godly Speed & Reflexes**: Adam possesses unparalleled speed and reflexes, no other character has been shown to be faster than him thus far.

**Godly Durability**: Adam, despite still being just a Human, possesses unparalleled and unfathomable durability surpassing that of most Supreme Gods. Despite Shiva being stated to be powerful enough to destroy the entirety of Heaven in his **Tandava Karma** form, Adam was capable of taking multiple hits from him.

**Godly Endurance & Stamina**: Adam has displayed immeasurable and unparalleled endurance and stamina, he was capable of exerting himself far beyond his physical and mental limits. Throughout the duration of his fight with a God, Adam never showed any signs of fatigue, despite the countless blows exchanged during the fight. Even after being hit multiple times during his match, Adam still managed to stay conscious and continue fighting while showing little to no sights of pain.

### Mental Abilities

**Indomitable Will**: Adam possessed the strongest will of mankind as stated by Brynhildr; he never once faltered in his battle, always remaining steadfast in the face of Shiva's onslaught. His powerful willpower grants him immense pain tolerance and allows him to exert himself beyond his limits.

**Enhanced Charisma**: Adam has displayed immense charisma, through his noble ambitions and determination he managed to touch the hearts of all of Humanity, making them put their differences aside and pray for his victory. This feat was so impressive that even the prideful Gods praised him for it.

### Fighting Abilities

**Unarmed Combat Proficiency**: Adam possesses a natural talent in the art of unarmed combat, making him capable of defeating most opponents despite having little to no training. He was able to compete with Shiva, who is also a very skilled unarmed combatant, and managed to copy multiple of his techniques (with the assistance from **Divine Reflection**). While he seems to prefer using his fists, to the point that his volund weapon became a knuckleduster, Adam is more than capable of using his legs in order to defeat his opponents.

### Supernatural Abilities

**Golden Age**: As a Human soul in the afterlife, Adam possesses the appearance and skills that he had during his Golden Age, the age in which he was at his peak.

**Animal Intuition**: As the first man, Adam was created to rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. Because of this, most animals appear to be naturally friendly towards Adam. This was best seen during his entrance in the second round, where a bunch of animals (both carnivores and herbivores) helped him make his entrance. Another example was seen during his time in the Garden of Eden, where Adam was able to rest on top of a bear while a variety of wild animals peacefully surrounded him. Adam also seems to be capable of talking with animals, since he was able to learn that the Serpent had molested Eve from two birds.

**Divine Reflection** (神虚視, Kamiutsushi): As a man designed in the image of God, Adam was gifted with the ability to perfectly replicate any move and technique he lays his eyes upon, including the ones used by divine beings. Regardless of its speed or power, Adam can evade any attack whilst simultaneously countering his attacker with their own move. This ability was so incredibly potent that Adam was even able to copy and utilize Shiva's techniques after only seeing it a single time. Adam can instantly morph his biology in order to replicate attacks properly, such as when he copied the Serpent's attack: his hands grew three times in size, gained black-green scales and sharp bone claws. However, despite their seemingly unbeatable nature, the Divine Reflection does have its limits; seeing through his opponents attacks puts a certain amount of strain on Adam's nervous system. It's unknown if Adam can permanently learn the techniques he copies or if they have a limited lifespan.

## Plot Explanation

The Ragnarök this Adam hails from is similar to the one seen in *Shuumatsu no Valkyrie* with the only major difference being that Shiva gets to participate when he would've before Zeus had interrupted him in the Original Timeline. The theme of this Round 2 is Progenitor vs Destroyer rather than Father of Humanity vs Godfather of the Gods.
