Chapter 716: The hero and the villain
Once it was all done, Cain released a deep sigh as he felt a sense of exhaustion assault him. The battle might have seemed easy, but he pushed himself to the absolute limit and faced several dangerous situations.
Cain was forced to push his Astral Wave to the limit and fold space around his body to avoid severe wounds by the battle puppet self-destruction. During the attack on the Shadow King, he charged all his energy into his fist, leaving the rest of his body unprotected.
Still, soon, a smile appeared on his face, as there were no more dangers in the north of Gaia with the Shadow King and Undying King neutralized.
...
Cain was back on the highest floor of the Titan Tower, tending to his wounds as he gazed at the unconscious Shadow King and Undying King.
"Apex, were you able to figure out their true identity?"
Although the fate of the Dark Kings was already sealed, Cain wanted to know more about them. Unfortunately, Gluttony's Eyes was still not mighty enough to devour True Titans' souls, and even if it was, trying to win a clash of willpower against the duo would not be easy.
Cain's willpower was still at the limit of the Second Realm. There was no doubt that his Ego Wave was mightier than any other individual at Mind Over Wave, but he still needed to solidify his willpower and reach Mind Over Matter.
Obtaining a soul force at the Divine Ascension Realm allowed Cain the chance to face the Nine Heavens Ego Destruction Tribulation, but that did not mean he would just jump toward it. The power of such a phenomenon was designed to destroy the will and ego of monsters like him, so if he was not prepared, the only thing he would gain from facing the tribulation would be death.
Luckily for him, the Absolute Life Form Module had hacked into the Godslayer Humankind Empire's most secure databases, giving Apex a chance to uncover the Dark Kings' identities.
