"The more powerful I beco, the stronger the enemies that arise. It is as if those bastards were waiting for to appear."
Cain sighed as he uttered those words, feeling a heaache just thinking about it. Of course, it wasn't really like that, and the truth was that those enemies, like Horus, had been present way before his rise. But it was only now, as he beca powerful, that his scope of understanding widened enough to locate the truly dangerous entities lurking in Aether's shadows.
"Apex, is there any news of the Mirage King?"
The Spirit System's mission was to find the Doppelganger King and Mirage King. Using the [A.I. Chip Module] to sift through billions of hours of recordings and then through the hundreds of millions of people moving through the Sectors, Apex was able to find the Doppelganger King.
However, things were more complicated with the Mirage King. The man's last known location was in the southern Sectors, where he appeared six months ago. Unfortunately for Apex, after the news of The Organization's defeat in the north, the Mirage King stepped up his ga. He used his illusions to twist light around him, making him invisible to even recording devices.
Apex still had so thods to track the Dark King as long as this one remained in a populated area, such as analyzing the people's rumors and gossip. It was much harder and required more ti, but it would eventually give him the location of the Mirage King—or at least that was what he originally thought.
"That person seems to have completely secluded himself. He might be hidden in so cave, away from any intelligent life, most likely trying to cultivate beyond the Peak of the Divine Ascension Realm to escape into the Astral Sea. Unless he interacts with other people, I am afraid we will not find him."
Cain frowned before finally sighing. He knew he could not have done a better job than Apex. It had been more than six months since his last sighting, and by now, the Mirage King could be hiding in any cave or swamp in Gaia.
Although Cain would have wanted to take care of all the Dark Kings in Gaia before the crowning ceremony started, he would not waste his ti going through every forest and mountain range, searching with his Ego Wave for the Mirage King.
"Hmph, I guess you got lucky."
Cain sneered before shrugging his shoulders, no longer bothering with the Mirage King. If the man showed his presence, the Scarlet King would track and kill him, but until then, this one could hide in a cave in fear.
After that, Cain rose to the sky, and his eyes turned toward the Protheus Sector. It was already ti for the rise of the new Goldsayer Humankind Emperor, which was not the only significant event he needed to supervise.
Cain's energy began to rise as the Space-Ti Eye glowed. Long-range teleportation works by generating a wormhole between two points in space. Usually, that would require the help of teleportation formations to act as catalysts and anchoring points. However, Cain's domain over the Law of Space allowed him to perform Inter-Sector Teleportation without using teleportation formations.
The energy emanating from Cain's body and soul grew higher until he suddenly vanished.
"¡BOOM!"
An explosion appeared the next instant in his location, as space shattered due to the backlash of such powerful teleportation, but the cracks began to fade imdiately.
A regular True Titan would need a few minutes to cross an entire Sector, but they could not keep that speed for long. At a sustainable speed, a True Titan with great speed could cross a Sector every 10 to 15 minutes.
There were five Sectors between Cain's current location and the Protheus Sector, and when he crossed, he reached the sky above the Silver City in less than 10 seconds!
The Silver City did not look anywhere close to that pile of broken buildings and energy formations left after the clash between Cain and Michael Goldsoul. It was clear that Pri Minister Minxet did an outstanding job with the reconstruction, fixing the buildings and pushing the city back to its previous glorious might.
The mont Cain appeared in the sky, the space around him burst to pieces due to the sudden crash into the fabric of space. His body also received a strong ricochet effect, and he felt a tallic taste in his mouth. However, despite draining much of his energy and affecting his body, Cain still smiled, as such speed was terrific.
"After I open my Inner World, my domain over the Laws and the power I can express through them will skyrocket. At that point, I might be able to reach any Sector in Gaia instantly."
Cain's smile widened as that thought crossed his mind, yet the next second, a sense of disappointnt and boredom invaded him. Aether was growing too small for him, and the feeling of being stuck grew stronger the more power he gained.
Once again, the weight of responsibility ca crashing down on him, making Cain sigh. Until he finished with Horus, he could not leave for the Astral Sea.
Although for so, being a figure that people bowed and worshiped sounded like a dream co true, there was nothing worse for Cain than being a big fish in a small swamp. He needed to reach for a higher plane, full of danger and possibility, a place that could challenge him and where he could push his talent and foundation to the next step.
Cain did not lose himself in those thoughts for long. The next second, his eyes glowed with a powerful red light as he sent a signal through his [A.I. Chip Module]. Ten seconds later, the bells across the Silver City began to ring.
The last ti they echoed was to mark the end of the Golden Emperor, and now they marked the rise of the new one.
