Cain's eyes glowed with focus as he incinerated the Golden Emperor's head, then extended his gray flaming aura across the rest of the man's body. He made sure to burn every cell of the man but also focused on minimizing the destruction of the black root to the minimum.
It took Cain less than ten seconds to burn every inch of the Golden Emperor's body, leaving a massive black root in place.
Cain's eyes narrowed as he stepped back, just in ti to avoid the black root that lashed toward him. Like the evil halberd, this thing was alive, and now that the Golden Emperor was gone, it began to search for a new host it could consu.
"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
The black roots swirled around the cultivation abode as they reached toward Cain. Having consud so much of the Golden Emperor, it had beco very powerful, enough to overwhelm an ordinary Titan without a problem.
However, even exhausted, Cain's power was much higher than that. His energy burst as he flashed forward, grabbed the black root, and forcefully ripped it from the ground before slamming it against the ceiling.
The black root seed to feel no pain. Even as it was smashed with so much power that it could have shattered a Divine Ascension Master's body, it did not stop struggling, sending hundreds of tendrils to pierce Cain's body.
"Clack!" "Clack!" "Clack!"
However, the mont the tendrils crashed into Cain's body, tal hitting tal echoed. The black root's tendrils were unable to pierce through Cain's flesh!
Of course, Cain did not beco careless; after all, it could still enter through an open wound or another orifice, and once inside his body, it would be very hard to fight back. Without wasting ti, his Space-Ti Eye began to glow, and the Solar Tempest Essence began to flow into the black root.
Cain's focus reached its limit as he started sealing the black root's energy channels. He then flowed in his Essence Wave, searching for the will of this thing that seed to be spread all around its body and began to strike it with ferocity.
Despite its power and endurance, the black root lacked a proper will and soul, so even Cain's Second Realm Ego Wave could easily paralyze its thoughts.
After fully sealing the energy and mind of the black root, Cain's eyes glowed, and he made it disappear, sending it to the [Samsara Arsenal Module]'s First Layer, the only place he was sure it could not break free from and where no one could interact with it.
While Cain was dealing with the black root, sothing else happened in Silver City.
"Ding-Dong!"
The sound of bells echoed across the entire Silver City. They did not co from actual bells but from a secret formation connected to the life force of the Goldslayer Humankind Emperor. The ringing of the bells ant only one thing.
The Golden Emperor was dead.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar knew this was a possibility when Cain descended into the Imperial Abode but still showed complicated expressions on their faces as they looked at each other. They knew about Horus and were smart enough to deduce that he was responsible for the chaos in the Goldslayer Humankind Empire, using Michael Goldsoul as a proxy.
The duo had t the Golden Emperor many tis and could say they had established a good relationship. The Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar admired the man's resolve, imnse power, and incredible military feats.
The Golden Emperor was a great man but, unfortunately, fell to the sches of his first son, and now he was dead.

The sound of bells rang not only in Silver City, as there were such formations all across the Sectors. After all, the death of an Emperor was an extrely important event.
Usually, such news would have sent the Godslayer Humankind Empire into chaos, but fortunately, things have not gone that route now. All the Sector Dukes had been preparing for such an event, and the masses were also prepared after seeing the fall of the Azure Emperor Bloodline.
Thanks to his subtlety and gradual approach, Cain avoided chaos. While there was still so instability in the Godslayer Humankind Empire, as soon as a new center of governnt and power was established, everything would be in order again.
---
The bells rang for an entire minute across Silver City, and the next second, a figure flashed from the crevice built beneath the Imperial Castle.
Cain glanced at the Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar as he flashed into the sky, and the duo imdiately followed him. It did not take them long to reach over one hundred thousand ters above the ground, and they stood there as dozens of figures flashed toward them.
Cain observed dozens of powerhouses appear in the sky, all looking at him with complicated expressions. He remained silent, waiting until the old Pri Minister Minxet finally appeared.
"Minxet, co forward."
As soon as he heard his na, the man moved forward until he stood before Cain and perford a deep bow.
"My King."
"I now declare you the new Pri Minister of the Godslayer Humankind Empire and one of the Six Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance."
When Minxet heard those words, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. The fact that he had recovered his old position was not really a surprise, as he was the most apt for the job and had proved that to the Scarlet King by saving the millions inside Silver City, including the mbers of the Imperial Army.
However, the last part about the Chief Counselor of the Scarlet Alliance had many anings. The Scarlet Alliance was built, in essence, to take down the corrupted Imperial Court and should no longer exist now that the battle was over.
If the Scarlet Alliance remained, it ant that Cain would not be taking the role of Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
