A teleportation formation glowed inside the underground chamber. The next instant, five Scarlet Inquisitors appeared, and with them were the upper echelon of Earth Fall in chains and with their energy and bodies sealed.
Unlike the experience of Gigant, Amalia, Kanon, and Ekatory, the five Scarlet Inquisitors did not arrive at a gore scene with skeletons and bubbles of blood upon reaching the underground chamber. They only saw a handso man with a scarlet robe floating in the air amidst spatial storms.
Of the five Scarlet Inquisitors, the only one that followed the Essence Evolution Path of Power was the woman with the white bat feature. Her na was Cindra, and a sense of utter awe and shock appeared in her eyes as she focused on the spatial storm and saw that their origin ca from the young man's body.
'Amazing! His mastery over the Law of Space must be near the Extre Law Fragntation!'
The Law Fragntation Realm was nothing impressive for a Titan that followed the Inner Universe Divine System, but that referred to the most common Laws. Reaching the Extre Law Fragntation was beyond amazing when it ca to supre cosmic powers like the Law of Space and the Law of Ti.
The awe in her eyes only increased once the Scarlet Inquisitor noticed that Cain was still a Wave King.
Cain noticed the overwhelming shock and awe in the eyes of the Scarlet Inquisitor, but he did not show much interest; instead, he smiled at the entire group of five Titans.
"You have done an excellent job capturing the upper echelon of Earth Fall alive, Inquisitors Lork, Kirin, Kern, Zamira, and Cindra. This success will greatly boost our ultimate goal of setting the underworld ablaze, leaving nothing but dust and ashes. You will be greatly rewarded once our mission is completed."
"We serve the Scarlet King!"
Inquisitors Lork, Kirin, Kern, Zamira, and Cindra bowed, and while they did not utter another word, smiles full of thrill and delight appeared on their faces. The Scarlet King had risen to the point of becoming a living legend, and obtaining his praise was sothing even Titans could brag about.
Not to ntion, they were sure the reward this one would grant them would allow their powers to rise to higher levels.
Cain nodded to the five Scarlet Inquisitors and indicated for them to straighten before turning his eyes to the four prisoners in front of him. Those four were the upper echelon of Earth Fall, three of which went by the nas Earth Ghost, Earth Ghoul, and Earth Specter.
A small smile appeared on Cain's face, and he almost laughed as he realized their nas were similar to those of his own Dark Faction in the Kronos Continent. Still, imdiately, sharpness returned to his eyes as he focused on the most important one of the prisoners.
Cain calmly walked to the prisoner who was suppressed by two Titans, Zamira and Cindra. It was an old woman with long white hair and the features of a fox with white and black fur. Despite her fragile appearance, she was actually the most dangerous of all, as this old woman was none other than Earth Fiend, the leader of Earth Fall.
As Cain raised the head of the old woman and looked into her eyes, he could not help but feel a sense of respect as there was no fear in her. Unlike the Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath, who begged for rcy until the last minute, Earth Fiend showed only peace and serenity.
"Duke Ormina, the Saintess of Virtue and Protector of the Frail."
When hearing the true nas of Earth Fiend for the first ti, sharp expressions appeared in the eyes of the Scarlet Inquisitors. Duke Ormina was the Sector Duke of the Mormon Sector, and she was renowned for her charitable nature, always striving to grant ordinary people a safe place and raising promising youths who ca from humble backgrounds.
Who would imagine that one of the Sector Dukes, famous for their virtue and charity, was actually one of the empire's greatest and most heinous monsters?
So powerhouses and important figures in the empire found it hard to accept, but the fa of the Scarlet King was so imnse by this point that no one doubted his words after he shared the evidence against the woman.
"Do what you have to do, boy. If you are expecting to beg, then you are sorely mistaken. I lived my life according to my rules, and I am ready to face the reaper. If it's my ti to soar into the void of darkness, then so be it."
Words were easy to utter, but Cain could see that the old woman ant them. She was not afraid and was ready to face anything.
"I will not be able to break your will, will I?"
If Cain wanted to use Gluttony's Eye on a Titan, he first needed to break their mind and spirit, or else it would be impossible to win the clash of wills, but he could see in the eyes of the old woman that would not happen.
"You are welco to try."
There was no fear nor cockiness in the old woman's eyes. She was not trying to act superior in her last mont of life and was honestly free of fear and doubt.
Cain stared at the old woman for a mont before silently nodding, accepting no amount of pain or psychological torture would break her spirit.
"Your fate is death; there is nothing that will change that. However, death can be painful and slow, or it can be fast and painless. Share your knowledge of the underworld with , and I will end it in one move."
Ormina was about to shake her head when she saw a devious smile on Cain's face.
"Don't think of it as helping or even the Deus Behemoth Empire. I am sure you would want so company wherever you are going."
