Chapter 583 583: Gluttony Concept
'Gluttony's Eyes allows me to obtain the memories of the soul I consume, but for that, I need to overwhelm the willpower within them. And that is just the start. Even after overwhelming the ego in the soul force, fully assimilating the memories is not something easy to achieve, especially if it belongs to a powerful entity.
If I want to improve the power of the ability, I need to go to its core, and that is the Concept of Gluttony.'
Just like The Flow, the first ability he obtained directly from his past life's memories, Gluttony's Eyes principles did not reside in the Laws, but in the power of Concepts. If Cain wanted to improve the power of Gluttony's Eyes to consume the soul force of the Soul King and obtain his memories, he would have to master the Concept of Gluttony.
However, that was easier said than done. Nothing was restricting Cain's ability to perceive and comprehend the Concept of Gluttony, but there was also nothing helping him.
Concepts were very powerful but also very hard to master, and some might say even harder than the Laws. In Aether, Cain had never heard of a treasure related to Concepts and one could only depend on themselves and, to some lesser extent, on the experience of others.
The Sundering Concept was very powerful and Cain had made it grow constantly, but that was because it fitted his nature, and the Sun Seed helped him with it. Yet, the Concept of Gluttony was not very close to Cain's heart and core ideals.
Without any assistance, Cain would take years or maybe even decades to improve the Concept of Gluttony to the point of assimilating the memories in the Soul King's dark blue force field.
'Wait!'
A flash appeared in Cain's eyes as he was considering the Concept of Gluttony and something came to his mind, a treasure that he had been using for years and whose power was truly akin to the desire for frenzied consumption. And even better, this treasure was inside his soul.
Cain stopped flying and a sense of utter focus appeared in his eyes as he took a deep breath and adopted a meditative position in the air. His Ego Wave burst with power as he focused on a unique dimension held inside his soul that contained a multicolored flame that could consume flesh, blood, and even mountains.
The [Sky Fiend Flame] tool from the [Gluttony Module] was a power that could consume all things and that was always ravenous for more. Cain focused on the flame, allowing his mind and ego to run free, trying to pierce the core principle and power behind this one.
Cain did not move a single muscle for over an hour, but his Ego Wave burst with more and more power as he lost himself in that majestic multicolored flame. Suddenly a sense of enlightenment appeared in his eyes and he extended his right hand.
Due to his cultivation, Cain's body and Essence Star were in a constant cycle, consuming the energy around him, but as the power of his Ego Wave focused on his right hand, the devouring force in that area grew nearly twenty percent all of a sudden!
