Chapter 626: Taking care of Akus
Akus was unable to finish his sentence as Cain flashed forward at incredible speed and grabbed his head, starting to exert so much pressure that the sound of bones cracking began to echo across the chamber.
Terror and shock appeared in the eyes of Akus as he did not understand how a young human who had not even become a Divine Ascension Master could unleash such overwhelming physical power. Even if the Scarlet Inquisitor was suppressing his Astral Wave, he was still a Titan, yet his skull was about to shatter.
Not only did Akus feel the strength in that grip, but it was as if the space around his head was starting to compress.
The Cosmic Tyrant Framework, an ability whose core is defense, upon capitalizing on its interaction with space, allowed Cain to enhance his physical body with the immense power of the Void Weaver Art.
Cain's eyes were cold as he glanced at Akus, but he noticed the complicated expressions that appeared in the Scarlet Inquisitors.
While they obeyed his orders to the letter regardless of the task, the men and women couldn't help but feel conflicted as it seemed Cain was about to kill the great uncle of the Deus Behemoth Emperor.
These feelings were not a sign of disloyalty, as they were normal emotions that would arise in soldiers who spent their entire lives following the emperor's command. The fact none of them made a move or even spoke a word was actually proof of just how highly they esteemed the Scarlet King.
Fortunately for the seven Scarlet Inquisitors, Cain was not going to make them choose. The next second, they saw that a group call had formed between them, Cain and Eon.
"Cain? What is the matter? Oh, we are not speaking, just the two of us."
It took a moment, but Eon's voice appeared on the other end of the call.
