Chapter 1166: Mark of Abaddon (II) Chapter 1166: Mark of Abaddon (II) The minutes passed, and the integration of the mark into Lord Zero’s soul continued.
Every second was agonizing, but the old man endured it all until the pain finally subsided.
The mark on Lord Zero’s forehead stopped glowing and stabilized.
As soon as that happened, both Cain’s and the old man’s eyes glowed, a sense of awe and wonder filling them as they experienced an otherworldly connection to the point where they could hear each other’s thoughts.
The connection genuinely surprised Cain, but it wasn’t over yet.
As he focused, his Eye of Gluttony surged with power, and in the next mont, he saw a massive scarlet dragon through Lord Zero’s perspective.
Imdiately, Cain understood what had just happened: he could use the Eye of Gluttony to see through the old man’s eyes!
‘Amazing, what else can I do?’ Cain thought, truly amazed and thrilled by the mark’s capabilities.
Although he had generated the mark, the truth was he had little idea of its full potential, as it was a power born through the catalyst of his True Na-sothing beyond his current understanding.
As Cain’s focus deepened, he sought to test the limits of his control over Lord Zero.
The mark on the old man’s forehead began to glow again.
Lord Zero, kneeling on the ground and still adjusting his breathing after the initial agony, suddenly felt the mark flare.
“AHHHHH!” The old man scread in pain, his voice raw and strained as he twisted on the ground.
The agony was worse than when the mark first branded his soul.
It felt as though the mark’s gluttony was unleashed, consuming his very existence, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Fortunately for the old man, the pain lasted only for a brief mont.
His eyes, now filled with fear, glanced toward the scarlet dragon.
The connection between them allowed for telepathic communication, and it was clear that Cain could also end his life with a re thought.
Though it was unsettling to have his life in another’s hands, Lord Zero managed a small smile.
“I suppose it was a success.
You can now be certain I will fulfill my part of the deal.” Cain looked at him, smiling as he nodded.
“You’re right.
I can now trust that you won’t betray or interfere with my plans so I can let you leave this place alive.” Lord Zero bowed deeply before the scarlet dragon.
“I will act as your agent, my Lord, and provide you with all the information you may need to deal with the powerhouses of the South Coast Alliance.” After a brief pause, he straightened and t Cain’s gaze.
“I wonder, my Lord, if I may ask a few questions.” Cain, sensing no harm in indulging him, nodded imdiately.
There was no reason to be cruel or overbearing, especially since he now had complete control over the old man’s life.
“What is the na of the mark, its nature, and what are its powers?” Lord Zero asked, voicing his greatest curiosity.
He had accepted the mark to preserve his life, but now that it was fully integrated, he wanted to understand what kind of deal he had made.
Cain contemplated for a mont before replying.
“I forged that mark using my Oniric Truth of Gluttony and True Na.
Its na is the Mark of Abaddon.” His voice carried a solemn tone, sensing deep within his instincts that this new tool would play a pivotal role in the future.
The na “Abaddon” had beco synonymous with terror and legend across the South Coast, making it a fitting title for the tool that would help him bring down the alliance.
Lord Zero mirrored Cain’s solemn expression.
His mind focused as he listened carefully to the scarlet dragon’s words.
“Although I have been theorizing the mark’s powers, you are the first to receive it, so its full capabilities are still a mystery.
We can share thoughts now, and I can see what you see.
The mark can also consu your entire existence if I wish.
Beyond that, we’ll need ti to discover its other abilities.
Keep inford of any insights or developnts.” Lord Zero nodded, adopting a pensive expression.
For now, the Mark of Abaddon seed to primarily exert control over him, but he suspected much more was yet to be revealed.
After a mont, a cold light entered his eyes as he turned to Cain.
“My Lord, may I ask how you found ?
I took great care to ensure that only one person knew the true nature of my identity and location.
I would have known if sothing had happened to him, yet no signal was triggered.
Did he betray ?” Cain gazed at the old man, noticing a flicker of sadness beneath the cold exterior.
It was clear that Lord Zero trusted this person deeply, so the thought of betrayal weighed heavily on him.
“You were not betrayed, old man,” Cain said, surprising Lord Zero.
Confusion spread across the old man’s face, but everything beca clear as Cain continued.
“Armadius, your right hand-the one whose knowledge led to you-did not betray you.
I knew soone as paranoid as you would have safeguards in place if the person who knew your identity died, so I captured his mind in an illusion.
I created a scenario in which he needed to contact you and tracked you down through that.” Lord Zero was stunned, a small smile creeping onto his face as he asked hopefully, “Then Armadius?” “He is alive,” Cain confird.
“I was cautious in case you had others watching over him, so I didn’t alter his behavior.
After the illusion, I wiped his mory of the event.
He has returned to his normal routine.” Lord Zero sighed in relief, a broad smile of genuine relaxation spreading across his face.
Armadius was the only person he truly trusted, who had supported him and helped him rise to his current status.
Knowing that Armadius had not betrayed him and was still alive lifted a heavy burden from his heart.
But his focus quickly returned to the task at hand.
