"My King"
Leonidas perford a deep bow, lowering his head as he gazed upon Cain with unwavering respect and devotion. His posture was flawless, carrying neither hesitation nor pride-only loyalty.
Cain focused on the man before him and nodded slowly, admiration evident in his eyes.
From the first mont they had t, Leonidas had been soone who earned Cain's respect. He had endured a horrific curse that slowly devoured his mories and rationality, threatening to erase his very identity. Most would have fallen into madness or oblivion under such an affliction.
And Cain helped the man overco the curse; his rise had been nothing short of teoric.
His Astral Rebirth cultivation had already reached the absolute limit of the ArchDeity Rank. His Ego Eternal Path of Power was nearing the threshold of the limit of Mind and Soul As One, and his Resurrección was among the most powerful Cain had ever witnessed. Combined with his Alpha-Oga Overgod Treasures, Leonidas could even crush Champions of the Root-a truly astonishing feat, given their immortal bodies and absolute defenses.
Solemnity and sharpness filled Cain's gaze as he finally spoke.
"Leonidas, I summoned you because I have a way to make you stronger," Cain said calmly. "A way to help you transcend the limits of the Six Sacred Races."
Leonidas's eyes widened instantly. A fierce thrill surged within them, accompanied by an almost uncontrollable desire.
He was powerful-there was no denying that. But it was not enough. To stand against the Heart of the Root, to survive the coming war, he needed more. Far more. If there was a way to obtain that power, he
would take it without hesitation, regardless of the cost.
This war was for the fate of the entire universe.
There was no price too high.
Cain smiled widely as he sensed the iron resolve burning within the
man.
"The evolution I offer you is not one of flesh," Cain continued, "nor even of the soul. It is an evolution of your ego and primordial
essence."
Leonidas stiffened slightly, his breathing growing heavier as he processed those words.
Cain allowed him a mont before continuing, his voice steady and resolute.
"I will fuse your Alter-Ego and primordial essence into a Scarlet Star, allowing it to evolve. Through this, you will beco one with the Scarlet Throne itself. Your Ego Eternal Path of Power will undergo a fundantal transformation, granting you access to imnse amounts of spiritual and psychic energy-far more than even I can directly channel."
Leonidas's eyes widened further, his pupils trembling.
Such an enhancent was beyond what he had ever imagined. Yet Cain was not finished.
"This evolution will also render you virtually immortal," Cain said calmly. "Your ego, mind, and essence will exist within the Scarlet Throne for eternity. Even if your physical body is destroyed down to the last atom and particle, it will rely be the loss of a vessel-one you can reforge whenever necessary."
The thrill in Leonidas's heart surged violently.
That level of immortality surpassed even the Samsara Immortal Body.
Yet as he analyzed the words carefully, a sharp and solemn light appeared in his eyes.
Cain noticed imdiately-and smiled faintly.
"You've realized it," Cain said.
"The flaw," he continued, "is that if I die, the Scarlet Throne will perish
as well."
Leonidas remained silent for a long mont.
Then, slowly, a wide smile spread across his face.
"You gave a second chance to live," Leonidas said firmly, his voice filled with conviction. "When I believed everything was lost... you were the one who gave purpose again. To share my life and fate with yours will be an honor."
A burning scarlet light ignited within Leonidas's eyes. The resolution and determination erging from his soul blazed brighter than suns.
Cain's smile beca radiant.
He did not wait even a second.
With a single thought, the Scarlet Throne manifested before them, its vast gates slowly opening.
Once, the Scarlet Throne had only been a realm of endless suffering and tornt-a prison where the souls of those defeated by Cain and his forces were eternally sealed. But that era had long since passed.
Now, the sky within the throne realm was filled with stars. Each Scarlet Star carried the will, soul force, and ego imprint of a warrior from the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe. They channeled the surrounding energies of the realm, granting massive boosts to the Ego Waves of the warriors connected to them-accelerating cultivation, strengthening power, and refining essence.
Yet now, everything was about to advance to an entirely new level. Leonidas raised his head and roared with all his strength. From within his Soul Dinsion, his Alter-Ego erged-the core of
his identity, personality, mories, desires, and primordial essence. It burned with unyielding resolve as it crossed into the Scarlet Throne. Without wasting a single mont, it shot into the sky, heading straight toward the Scarlet Star forged from Leonidas's Scarlet
Leviathan.
The instant the Alter-Ego rged with the Scarlet Star, Cain's eyes
blazed with light.
The Power of Chaos erupted.
Guided by the A.I. Chip Module, Cain fused the Alter-Ego and Scarlet
Star into a single, unified existence-binding them directly to the
Scarlet Throne itself.
The process began.
Imdiately, the Scarlet Star trembled violently. Vast torrents of
spiritual force and psychic energy flooded into it. At the sa ti, fragnts of landmass-ford from the bodies and souls of countless powerful warriors-were drawn toward the star.
They crashed into it relentlessly.
The imnse pressure accelerated the fusion process, increasing not only the star's size but also its density, purity, and quality. Layer upon layer ford upon its surface, each one more refined than the last.
With every passing second, the Scarlet Star grew larger, heavier, and more terrifying.
Cain's eyes were sharper than ever, his focus absolute as he devoted every iota of his mind and soul to maintaining balance and stability.
anwhile, Leonidas's physical body stood motionless.
His eyes were empty.
Everything that defined him-his ego, will, mories, and essence-
now existed within the Scarlet Throne, undergoing a transcendent and extraordinary transformation that would reshape his destiny.
