Chapter 406: To the Atrox Immortus Race’s capital (II)
The golden humanoid inside the Scarlet King’s mind did not answer. Just the fact that he revealed the Path of Order was already something he should have never done.
"Does it have to do with the power that took control over my mind and body and allowed me to fight a True Titan? I assume it was the same force that took over my soul when I faced the Atrox Wave Champion?"
As he heard those words, a sharp light appeared in the golden humanoid’s eyes, along with a complicated smile.
"You would not believe me if I said it was some hidden power of the system, right?"
"Before, I might have, but not now."
The Scarlet King’s answer was peaceful as if the fact that Apex had tricked him in the past did not matter. While some might think that was just a strong front, the golden humanoid could see the serenity of the soul sea and knew that the Scarlet King was truly emotionless regarding the topic.
All sorts of thoughts crossed Apex’s mind as he considered what to say, but he had to be careful. While the Scarlet King and Cain were technically the same person, the former wouldn’t hesitate to sever any emotional connection with the System Spirit if it tried to trick him again.
"Ahhh, I cannot give you the answers you want."
The Scarlet King showed a small smile as he nodded. Not obtaining an answer was much better for him than a lie.
"It is fine. I will obtain them in due time."
