The countdown was pretty much self-explanatory. Basically, they have a month to conquer the next outerlayer, or else something bad, like a severe 'dungeon break' might happen. This wasn't the first time a countdown appeared in the outerlayers so no one was that surprised.
That's what Adam meant when he said that what was bound to happen soon didn't need any explanation. A sigh left his mouth as he looked at Albrecht. "You're weak, Albrecht. Very very weak. To compare you to the Albert Einstein in our world is an insult."
Albrecht was taken aback. This was the first time Adam seriously addressed him and insults straightforwardly came out of his mouth. His utterance made Albrecht question who this Adam was, but before he could retort, he realized that Adam wasn't saying all these to insult him.
