When Adam first became a K4-Phantom, he had a long conversation with Wilfred. Among many important things, Adam also learned that he was now at the bottom of the food chain, which was humiliating for him.
Strangely enough, this was not entirely true.
At that moment, Adam was not the weakest. No, he was the strongest among the weakest. He had not yet fully embarked on the path of the K4-Phantom, but that was no longer the case.
Now, when Adam revealed the Path Construct and chose the first star of his initial constellation, he crossed the line.
Adam became the weakest among the strongest and was the bearer of a unique energy that no other Phantom possessed.
Neither Silvana nor Adam knew this, but there were enough monsters and anomalies near the Corrosive Lakes that could spot him and attack at any moment to capture him.
This did not happen because earlier, it made no sense.
