Cain's Sun Seed was already imnsely powerful, being a Duality Alter-Ego. Still, it was growing even more potent, enhancing its potential and allowing his Ego Wave to grow without any restriction until he reached the Peak of the Second Realm.
"Haha, Cain, that was amazing! Your mastery over the Blood Wings left amazed!"
Desmond's voice, the Deus Bahamut, drew Cain's attention back to the present. There was a fresh smile on the young man's face as he walked toward Cain.
Cain's eyes refocused as he saw the Bahamut approaching him, and a smile graced his face. Desmond was refreshingly straightforward, unlike the Fourth Imperial Prince and Second Imperial Princess, who always had ulterior motives.
Although it was easy for Cain to handle people with hidden interests, that did not an he liked to spend his ti that always was plotting sothing. If he had to choose, Cain would always prefer to be with those like the young Deus Bahamut who shoot straight.
"I have to thank you. The technique is magnificent, and its powers perfectly synergize with my Asura Form."
Cain's words were sincere since the Blood Wings played a significant role in his recent triumph. By rging its effects with Third Gear, he achieved speeds so swiftly that even a Late Wave King Battle Puppet couldn't react in ti.
Of course, there were drawbacks, the most important being the lack of control and maneuverability. However, Cain was sure that if he could push his mind and reflexes to the next level, he would have no problem handling the combined speed of Asura Form and Blood Wings.
"No need to thank ; after all, it was a transaction. Your Asura Form is truly remarkable, but it's also very complex. I'm amazed you achieved third gear years before your cognitive abilities reached the Wave King Rank."
Desmond appeared serious about discussing the Asura Form. Clearly, while he showed a relaxed attitude, he was very stern regarding his cultivation.
While he quickly attained the First Gear due to his genius, understanding the Second Gear was challenging, and mastering it might take months if not years. Regarding the Third Gear, Desmond doubted he'd grasp its principles before becoming a Wave King.
Cain displayed a contemplative look. The Asura Form was effortless for him because knowledge and insight about it had been etched into his mind from his past life experiences. He didn't progress faster to the next gears because his body couldn't handle the pressure of such an overwhelming heart rate.
Since that was Cain's situation, there was little he could do to help Desmond with his problems, and he only offered a piece of simple yet useful advice.
"There's no need to rush. Even if you dominate the Third Gear upon becoming a Wave King, the technique will still grant you significant power."
Desmond nodded, appreciating Cain's guidance. The Asura Form's power wouldn't diminish with his rank, so taking ti to master it wouldn't pose an issue.
Now that was out of the way, another thing ca to Desmond's mind, and he imdiately shared it with Cain.
"By the way, we're heading to the Three Towers of Adam. You could join us."
Cain's interest was imdiately piqued upon hearing about the Three Towers of Adam. Accessing them was a challenge, and while he initially considered seeking Klaus' help, their strained relationship made him reconsider. That was why he did not access the Tower of Stars before the Arcane Route, despite that being his initial plan.
Since he rejected the Second Imperial Princess, Cain knew it would be up to him to find his way to the towers, but he was not worried since there was always a path.
He was tempted to accept Desmond's offer when he noticed the Crown Prince's group approaching. Cain hesitated, wary of joining the Crown Prince's faction given their associations.
Among the people around the Crown Prince, there were several people with whom Cain had already developed so level of animosity.
Not only was the Third Imperial Prince and the Asura Royal Family connected to Michael, but there was also Magnus Hellblazer and Iris Xurong in his group.
The relationship between Levi and the Hellblazer Family was still a little foggy for Cain, but he knew there was a clear hatred between these two. There was also the fact that Amos Hellblazer attempted to ss up with him more than once during the events of Blade Mountain, like the sche involving his Cinthy.
As for Iris Xurong, while Cain did not have a problem with the young woman, he did not want his involvent in the events around Saharo City to be revealed.
"It's fine; you can co with us if you wish to visit the towers. I don't have an issue, even if you want that man to accompany us. So of the people around actually want to speak with you to solve past grievances."
Before Cain could decline, the Crown Prince, Michael Goldsoul, interjected. While Michael had his own plans, they didn't involve Cain. He simply extended a helpful invitation not only to Cain but also to Krane.
Krane's eyes shimred with anticipation since the Tower of Laws was what he needed to explore the potential of his new Lineage, but he remained silent, awaiting Cain's decision.
Cain weighed Michael's offer and eventually nodded. Recognizing a genuine offer with no strings attached, he wasn't so prideful as to decline.
"I appreciate the help."
Michel rely nodded, not making a big deal out of it, and the group proceeded toward the teleportation formation.
A flash of surprise appeared in people's eyes as they noticed Cain among the group of the Crown Prince. However, those in the group seed unperturbed by the whispers of people they knew nothing about and simply activated the teleportation device, disappearing from the main plaza.
Rumors would surely flood the Silver City very soon, but neither the Crown Prince nor Cain cared about the passing ti of fools who only knew to waste ti speaking about others.
It took a mont for Cain's sight to adjust, but a wave of shock and awe overwheld him when he grasped the majestic scene unfolding before his eyes.
Three towers, soaring thousands of ters, stood majestically before him, each unique in its grandeur. Unlike almost every other structure in the Silver City, these were utterly dark, radiating a solemn and overwhelming aura.
While their core structures were similar, each tower boasted a distinct phenonon at its zenith.
One showcased a dark star emitting such potent gravitational force it seed capable of warping space. Calling it a black hole would be a mistake since, despite its massive power, its core intent was sothing else beyond destruction.
Another tower had a multicolored fiery sphere that simultaneously emitted myriad anings, resembling a force of both overwhelming destruction and infinite regeneration. Each intent was imnsely powerful on its own, but combined, they grew to a level that was nearly impossible to describe.
However, the one that captured Cain's utmost attention was the central tower, where a colossal beating heart pulsed at its peak.
"That is the Emperor's Heart. It's believed to have been left by the First Titan," the Crown Prince ntioned, drawing Cain's attention montarily.
Cain was sure that the Ego Wave used to generate that phenonon had a power beyond the limits of Aether!
"The Three Towers of Adam are among the great treasures left behind by the greatest Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind. They are nad the Tower of Laws, Tower of Concepts, and Tower of Stars," Michael elaborated, glancing at Desmond and the young man from the Anima chanicus Race.
Though Cain had so understanding of the Three Towers of Adam, he paid keen attention to Michael's explanation.
"The Tower of Stars is designed for Astral Cultivation. It helps cultivators familiarize themselves with the principles governing the Astral Rebirth Path of Power. While it might not seem essential now, it becos pivotal as you traverse the Apotheosis Realm and the set of rules that will guide your cultivation beyond the Divine Ascension Realm."

Both Desmond and Cain listened intently. Both understood that the potential of an Astral Rebirth Cultivator laid on the foundation they developed with each step they took.
However, after surpassing the Wave King Rank into a new realm, things evolved.
Michael did not wait long before his eyes turned to the next tower.
"The Tower of Laws offers insights into the Five Daoist Elental Laws. Additionally, it provides access to the Laws of Space and Ti. Although more elusive, their formidable power can refine your Essence Wave. At the very least, every Essence Cultivator should gain so insights into them to achieve the Divine Ascension Realm," Michel continued.
Although Cain did not take the Essence Evolution Path of Power, that did not an he would just ignore it, and his eyes grew sharp as he focused on the tower.
After letting his words sink in, Michael directed their attention to the final tower.
"The Tower of Concepts is distinct. There's no true guidance or insights offered within. The Ego Eternal Path of Power follows the principles behind Visualization Techniques, each unique in its own right. Inside this tower, you'll confront the Ego Waves of ancient Gods vanquished by the First Titan."
