The eyes of the old woman widened as she heard those words, and a flash of enlightennt appeared in them. Cain was betting on her selfish nature, hinting that since her Dark Faction would crumble to nothing, why don't take the other down with her?
"Hahaha, you are even more sinister than I imagined, young man. I do not care about pain, but it is true; why should my faction fall and those other bastards keep breathing."
After that, Ormina began to share all sorts of knowledge and insight related to the underworld, focusing on the other three Tier 0 Dark Factions that were still active and hiding.
Of course, Cain was not naive and knew that Ormina could be blaming innocent people either to tarnish the reputation of the Scarlet Inquisitor Force, to obtain a personal vendetta, or maybe just for fun, but he had a way of handling it.
Unlike the case with Earth Fiend, Cain could devour every single mory of Earth Ghost, Earth Ghoul, and Earth Specter. With that, Apex should be able to discern any form of a lie in the old woman's words.
It took nearly five hours for Ormina to share all her knowledge, and then she nodded to the Scarlet King. As soon as the woman did that, Cain's right hand moved at a speed so fast that it surprised even the Titans.
Cain's right hand went through Ormina's neck before an extrely thin cut appeared, and her head rolled to the ground. The scene was shocking, but it was just the beginning since his eyes began to glow with a red light, and the next second, his Ego Wave encompassed the corpse of the old woman.
Under the shocked sight of all present, Cain's Ego Wave began to decompose Sector Duke Ormina's corpse and devour its energy and vitality before it could fade.
Earth Ghost, Earth Ghoul, and Earth Specter trembled as they felt the ravenous devouring power in the red force field and knew they would be its next al. The trio could do nothing as Cain spent hours devouring the corpse before turning their eyes to them.
"Your turn."
Unlike with Earth Fiend, Cain devoured the other three alive, breaking their wills and consuming their soul force and mories. They begged for a quick death and promised to tell him everything they knew, but Cain could not trust their words, so he employed Gluttony's Eye on all of them.
After finishing devouring the soul force of the ego of Earth Specter, an annoyed expression appeared on Cain's face. He was able to consu all knowledge of the Middle Divine Ascension Master. However, he was still unable to assimilate the emotions and insights of those above the Early Divine Ascension Master Rank.
The sphere with the soul force and ego of the Soul King was still inside Cain's soul sea. He had not interacted with this one yet since there was no way to stop once the process started, and he needed to be sure of being able to completely assimilate everything left by the Dark King.
The Soul King might be the maximum exponent of the soul path in Aether, and Cain wanted all that knowledge and skills for him.
'I need more practice.'
Although it was sowhat disappointing, Cain did not dwell too much on it, and once he finished with the upper echelon of Earth Fall, he turned toward the Scarlet Inquisitors.
"Go back to your domains. Soon, new target packages will arrive, and you must be ready to act."
The five Scarlet Inquisitors nodded toward Cain, clasped their hands, and bowed before returning to the teleportation formation and vanishing from the underground chamber.
Once Cain was all alone, he clenched his fists and felt the state of his body. It had been nearly a month since he completed his Flesh Calamity, and during all that ti, he had only focused on his Essence Evolution Path of Power, allowing his body to rest.
"I should be able to start training the Cosmic Tyrant Frawork by now."
With a wave of his right hand, Cain took out the giant demonic skull, and the next second, he covered this one with his Ego Wave. There was no illusion this ti, as mastering the Cosmic Tyrant Frawork was divided into comprehension and training.
Cain would need to comprehend the runes engraved on the skull, which would guide him through the Cosmic Tyrant Frawork principles. The higher his mastery over the Law of Space, the easier it would be for him to comprehend it.
He closed his eyes, and it was not until ten hours later that he opened them. As they glowed with a profound light, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
"The tales were not exaggerating its power. It is a truly formidable body refinent art that progressively enhances the practitioner's endurance to withstand forces of cataclysmic proportions. The first level utilizes the Law of Space to fortify the body's internal and external structure, making it dense and resilient on a molecular level."
Not wanting to waste ti, Cain adopted a ditative position and, using the principles of the Cosmic Tyrant Frawork's First Level, he began to alter his body's molecular structure.
After two days, Cain's entire body trembled, and a small shock wave erged. He opened his eyes, and his Ego Wave could perceive his body's enhanced molecular structure.
Of course, there was no physical improvent, as the First Level of the Cosmic Tyrant Frawork would only grant you a body as strong as the armor of a Peak Wave King, and Cain was way beyond that. Although it might sound like a waste of ti, if Cain wanted to reach the upper levels, he had to start from the beginning.
After completing the First Level, Cain once again sent his Ego Wave into the demonic skull and began deciphering the next level's principles. This ti, it took him a week before enlightennt again appeared in his eyes.
