Chapter 116
116 Free Ego
Finally, the energy sphere began to stabilize, unleashing a dual intent capable of both thriving and destruction. It was certainly impressive but no longer released that overwhelming aura that could corrupt the mind and will of others.
It was not the raw strength of Cain’s Alter-Ego that almost corrupted Abin’s ego but the unique nature and forces in this one. Those forces are in their purest state during the Alter-Ego’s birth, so they have a much easier time influencing others.
As the Alter-Ego finished its formation, Apex saw how electromagnetic force stopped emerging through the crack in the gate. Whatever goal was behind those actions, the Red King fulfilled it.
Apex was very worried about all that had happened. The System Spirit knew that the soul of anyone else would have shattered if it came in contact with the Red King’s ego, but Cain’s situation was unique, and it nurtured his soul.
The problem was that Apex had no idea just how much it affected Cain’s ego and personality. He already noticed changes after the Red King’s awakening, and things might only grow even more severe.
In the room where everything happened, Zarak noticed that Cain’s eyelids were twitching and knew that this one was about to wake up.
Zarak turned toward Abin, and his eyes glowed with a monstrously powerful blue light as he spoke.
“Leave and forget what happened here. You had an important matter to attend to, which is why you were unable to see Cain’s Alter Ego.”
The moment she heard those words, Abin stood up, and her eyes lost focus. She walked toward the teleportation matrix and vanished.
.....
Zarak made sure Abin would not be here since he did not want to explain to Cain the effect the crimson sphere had on the woman.
