Chapter 353: The Void King
The reason no beast dared to approach this place was simple: it was the life forms atop the mountain peaks. Four were in their true bodies, while the others appeared only as incarnations of Ego Wave.
Those in the form of incarnations were utterly dark and showed no features. Still, this did not diminish the might of their auras.
The mere presence of any one of them was enough to deter even the mightiest of Wave Beasts.
Had Cain been present, he would have recognized two of the individuals present or at least their auras. One was enshrouded in shadows, while the other was a flayed body draped in a thick cloak of Blood Energy. They were none other than the Shadow King and Blood King, the duo that almost obliterated the Blood Sea if not for the appearance of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.
Given this and the layout of the mountains, it was easy to deduce that the other six individuals were none other than the mighty Dark Kings, rulers of the underworld spanning the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
"Why are we here? I was in the midst of my recovery when I was summoned in my physical form."
The one who shouted was the Blood King, clear rage and anger evident in his eyes. The Ego Wave he unleashed was in a constant state of disarray. Although the rest of the Dark Kings displayed annoyance at the Blood King, they remained silent, knowing it was unwise to antagonize him while his Ego Eternal Matrix was disrupted.
The Blood King had been forced to transfer his soul into another body after Cain destroyed his previous one. And while the High Blood Elder’s Alter-Ego and soul were quickly destroyed, the adaptation process would still take several years.
Until then, the Blood King would be unable to display his full power and suffer from emotional outbursts.
Seeing that no one answered his question just made the Blood King even more furious. But before he could shout again, a new incarnation of Ego Wave manifested atop the highest peak. As soon as he appeared, a solemn expression settled on all the Dark Kings, even silencing the volatile Blood King.
"I am pleased to see all of you here."
The man at the highest peak spoke in a deep voice, his words resonating through the air, causing the ocean thousands of meters below to churn. His Ego Wave was so monstrous that he could unleash immense power even at this vast distance from his true body.
