Chapter 675: Hesitation is failure
The Titans and Divine Ascension Masters quickly moved to Cain’s side. The young man detected the explosion before any of them, allowing them to distance themselves from the Gods and sustain significantly fewer injuries from their self-destruction.
Clearly, the young man’s perception and battlefield awareness were exceptionally high, crucial now that they faced such a mysterious enemy capable of unleashing an extremely powerful spell from an unknown location and taking the Void King away.
The great generals were extremely alert, ready to respond to anything as they glanced at each other. Most were still shocked to see that the Collapsing Lightning Duke had recovered, as Cain had revealed the knowledge of the plot only to those participating to avoid any mishaps.
Fortunately, the Blood Duke and Holan shared their understanding with the great general as they waited for further instructions.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke approached Cain, and while he was taken aback by the demonic hand that captured the Void King, he was also extremely surprised by the young man at his side.
Cain not only devised and executed a plan that nearly killed the mightiest entity in Gaia’s underworld, but he also overcame the terror aura of the portal with his own strength and aided the other Titans and Divine Ascension Masters with his unique abilities.
Cain was a monster in every aspect of cultivation and war, clearly destined to rise higher and higher, and the Collapsing Lightning Duke was determined not to let that talent go to waste.
Cain noticed the Collapsing Lightning Duke’s gaze but soon turned his attention to the figures of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar, who approached the group with an annoyed expression.
Although the duo’s fight with the Dark Kings had moved far from the battlefield’s core, they reached Cain and the others in less than ten seconds.
"The Shadow King covered the Undying Kind with his power, and the duo escaped. We were distracted by the shadow flame portal, and they used the self-destruction of the Gods as a distraction to escape from our perception."
