Adam rushed forward, his heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness as he summoned the energy into his hand, shaping it into a shield of pure light. The shield appeared just in time to intercept Lilith's incoming strike, a sword of venomous green energy.

Their clash reverberated through the air, the sound of their weapons meeting echoing throughout the Garden. Lilith's smile widened as she pressed forward with relentless determination, her sword slashing through the air with deadly precision.

Adam gritted his teeth, his nerves threatening to overwhelm him as he struggled to keep up with Lilith's skillful attacks. With each clash, he felt the weight of his newfound powers, trying to harness them to match Lilith's prowess.

But despite his nerves, Adam refused to back down. He focused on his training, drawing strength from within as he pushed himself to keep pace with Lilith's onslaught. With each clash of their weapons, he grew more accustomed to the incredible abilities at his disposal.

As the battle raged on, Adam's confidence began to grow. He started to anticipate Lilith's moves, finding openings to counterattack with his shield of light. With each successful maneuver, he felt a surge of exhilaration, realizing the true extent of his potential.

Driven by determination and newfound confidence, Adam continued to press forward, matching Lilith blow for blow. And as they clashed with all their might, he knew that he was no longer just a novice struggling to control his powers—he was becoming a formidable force to be reckoned with.

"I expected nothing less from my Ex-Husband being this strong" Lilith said with a hint of pride in her voice.

As the clash of their weapons continued, Lilith's words cut through the tension of their duel like a knife through the air. Adam paused for a moment, taken aback by her unexpected remark.

A brief silence fell between them, broken only by the sound of their heavy breathing and the crackle of energy as their weapons collided. Despite the intensity of their battle, Adam couldn't help but feel a surge of conflicting emotions at Lilith's words.

He glanced at her, seeing a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, a flicker of the past that lingered between them despite the animosity of their current situation. It was a reminder of the bond they once shared, a bond that had been shattered by betrayal and conflict.

With a slight nod, Adam acknowledged Lilith's compliment, his expression softening momentarily. "Thank you, Lilith," he said, his voice tinged with a mixture of sadness and regret. "Despite everything, I still remember the good times we shared."

Lilith's gaze softened in return, a fleeting moment of understanding passing between them before the intensity of their duel resumed. They continued to clash with all their might, each strike fueled by a complex mix of emotions—anger, regret, and a lingering sense of what could have been.

As they fought on, Adam couldn't help but wonder what might have been if things had turned out differently between them. But for now, they were locked in a battle that both could not afford to lose.

Adam tensed as Lilith raised her hand, a sense of foreboding washing over him as he watched the ground beneath them come to life. His eyes widened in disbelief as plant men, twisted creations of nature, began to emerge from the garden's soil, armed with deadly weapons crafted from the very trees around them.

The air grew thick with tension as the plant men surrounded him, their menacing presence adding a new layer of danger to the already intense battle. Adam clenched his jaw, his mind racing as he assessed the situation, knowing that he was now faced with an even greater threat than before.

Lilith's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she surveyed her handiwork, a cruel smile playing at the corners of her lips. "This is my Realm Adam and in it i get whatever i desire or Envy," she taunted, her voice laced with malice and laughter.

Adam gritted his teeth, steeling himself for the onslaught to come. Despite the odds stacked against him, he refused to back down, determined to come out on top at all cost.

With a swift motion, he summoned his own powers, channeling the energy into a fierce blast of light that sent shockwaves rippling through the air. The plant men staggered back, caught off guard by the sudden display of strength.

Seizing the opportunity, Adam leaped into action, his movements fluid and precise as he engaged the plant men in combat. With each strike of his Shield, he carved through their ranks, his determination unwavering as he fought to push back the encroaching threat.

But even as he battled with all his might, Adam knew that the true test lay ahead. With Lilith still looming over them, their battle to the death was far from over, and he knew that victory would only come at a great cost if things kept going as they did.

Grim determination etched into his features, Adam pressed forward, ready to face whatever challenges awaited him in the struggle that lay ahead.

Adam's eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld the remarkable sight unfolding before him. Despite his efforts to defeat them, the fallen plant men were slowly but steadily regenerating, the garden itself weaving its magic to mend their wounds and bring them back to life.

A sense of awe washed over Adam as he watched the miraculous process, a testament to the incredible power of nature that Lilith wielded through her power of Sin Envy. He realized that defeating his enemies would be no easy task if they continued to rise anew, their numbers replenished by the very environment they fought in.

Grim determination hardened his resolve as Adam considered his next move. He needed a plan, a way to overcome this seemingly insurmountable obstacle and emerge victorious in his battle against Lilith and her minions summoned through her Envy.

With a steely gaze, Adam turned to face Lilith, his mind racing as he sought a strategy that would give him the upper hand. Despite the overwhelming odds against him, he refused to give up hope, knowing that he had come too far to falter now.

"I need to find a way to disrupt the garden's healing magic," Adam thought to himself, his inner voice firm with resolve. "If i can sever Lilith's connection to this place, I might stand a chance of defeating her."

Lilith's eyes narrowed as she regarded him, a hint of amusement flickering in her gaze. "Don't think too hard I'm still here remember," she replied, her voice dripping with scorn.

Undeterred, Adam pressed on, his mind already racing with ideas for how he could turn the tide of battle in his favor. He knew that his greatest challenge lay ahead, but with courage and determination, he was ready to face whatever obstacles stood in his way.

As Adam's mind raced through memories of his tumultuous history with Lilith, a spark of realization ignited within him. He remembered the forbidden tree that had once stood in the heart of the garden, its presence a symbol of temptation and betrayal.

With a sense of urgency driving him forward, Adam scanned the garden's lush landscape, searching for any sign of the elusive tree. His heart quickened as his eyes landed on a distant glimmer of light, a beacon amid the dense foliage.

Without hesitation, he dashed toward the source of light, his senses heightened with anticipation. With each step, the garden seemed to shift and twist around him, the very earth whispering secrets of ages past.

Adam staggered backward, the force of Lilith's magic pushing against him like an unyielding tide. Despite his best efforts to stand his ground, he found himself struggling against the sheer raw power of her sorcery.

As Lilith's command echoed through the air, Adam knew that he couldn't afford to hesitate. With the plant minions closing in around him, he was left with no choice but to focus all of his energy on the battle at hand.

Summoning his own powers, Adam unleashed a torrent of light energy, creating a barrier around himself to fend off the relentless onslaught of Lilith's minions. But even as he fought back with all his might, he could feel the strain of the battle taking its toll on him.

The plant minions pressed forward, their sharp branches slicing through the air with deadly precision. Adam ducked and weaved, narrowly avoiding their attacks as he struggled to find a way to break through their defenses.

With each passing moment, the intensity of the battle only grew, the clash of magic and steel echoing through the garden like a symphony of chaos. Adam's mind raced as he sought a way to turn the tide in his favor, his every move calculated with precision.

But despite his best efforts, the odds seemed stacked against him. Lilith's power was formidable, and her minions were relentless in their pursuit of victory.

Gritting his teeth, Adam pushed himself to his limits, drawing upon every ounce of strength and determination within him. With a fierce roar, he surged forward forming a sword of light, his blade flashing in the sunlight as he fought with all his might to break free from the relentless onslaught.

As Adam's sword shattered from the strain of his powers, a sense of desperation washed over him. He braced himself for the inevitable strike of the plant man's blade, his mind racing with thoughts of defeat.

But just as the deadly blade descended toward him, a pink portal materialized above, and a familiar figure emerged with lightning speed dropping down. Detective Azgori, with his combat knife in hand, intercepted the attack with impeccable timing, blocking the blow meant for Adam's throat with a grin.

Relief flooded through Adam as he watched his unexpected ally drop down beside him, the portal sealing shut behind him. He couldn't help but smile at Azgori's nonchalant arrival, despite the dire circumstances they faced.

"Better late than never, Detective," Adam replied, matching Azgori's grin with one of his own. "Sorry i'm late to the party" Frost Replied with a chuckle

With Azgori by his side, Adam felt a renewed sense of determination coursing through his veins. Together, they stood ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, united in their mission to thwart the forces of Envy and protect their world from destruction.

As the plant men closed in around them, Adam and Azgori stood side by side, their weapons at the ready. With a nod of silent understanding, they charged into battle, their movements fluid and coordinated as they fought back against the relentless onslaught.

With each strike of their blades, they pushed back against the tide of darkness, their resolve unwavering in the face of overwhelming odds. And as they battled side by side, Adam knew that with the Detective at his side, they stood a fighting chance against the forces of Envy that threatened to tear their world apart.
