Chapter 442: Horus (I)
The Scarlet King returned to Evernight after leaving everything in order with Dark Hand. Now that he controlled a Tier 1 Dark Faction, finding information about intercontinental teleportation formations to return to Gaia would be much easier.
Returning directly to his home was the primary path the Scarlet King wanted to take, but another option involved crossing the Narrow Sea to reach the Hyperion Continent, home of the Deus Bahamut Race.
If the Scarlet King reached the Deus Bahamut Race, he would not have to hide his identity and could request help from the Bahamut Titans. From there, getting to Gaia would be easier.
Unfortunately, movement across the Kronos Continent wasn’t simple. While he could leave Evernight whenever he wanted, the same couldn’t be said about the Saturn Sector, as the borders of this one were highly regulated.
As an envoy from a different race, there were certain limits to Kain’s freedom. Although he could take on a new identity, anyone with the rank to move freely around Kronos was not easily supplanted. After all, the Eye of Gluttony could only work on people with willpower much weaker than the Scarlet King’s.
Just getting near the Narrow Sea was a significant task, not to mention that the area was in a constant state of war. If any Atrox without sufficient clearance got near the battlefield, they would be attacked without question, let alone an envoy from another continent. Explore more at
Trying to cross the Narrow Sea by earth or sky without the proper clearance would be suicidal unless the Scarlet King could fight off Divine Ascension Masters.
There was also the option of waiting for the envoys to return to Atlas and, from there, make his way to Gaia. However, many things could go wrong if he reached a place where Kain’s real family was present. After all, Kain’s father was an Archduke who had reached the Divine Ascension Realm and had all sorts of abilities at his disposal.
That’s why the Scarlet King concluded that the best path forward would be to use the resources of the underworld to find a way back home.
’Dark Hand was poisoned and severely wounded before our fight even started, and yet he pushed me to the absolute limit, draining my energy pool and leaving me with severe injuries. My current battle power seems only at the bottom of the Apotheosis Realm.’
