Chapter 914: Lovecraft City and the Ancient Key
It took several hours for Cain to regain consciousness. As he rose from the ground, a painful expression appeared on his face; even after all this resting, he was still suffering from a severe headache.
Luckily, the Darkmist Force flooding his soul had already fixed most of the damage, and it was just a matter of hours before the pain completely faded. Cain adopted a meditating stance and waited for the pain to fade completely before finally continuing his work.
'Let's see what we have,' a smile appeared on Cain's face as he went through the memories of the Depravita of Wrath, eager to see what he could learn from the Depravita Race.
Cain started from the beginning, and just as he suspected, the Depravita of Wrath he faced in the underwater city was not a pure member of the Depravita Race but an Atrox.
The Depravita of Wrath's original name was Amon, a member of the Sacred Races and native of Aether. From a very young age, he was guided by a mysterious entity that always remained in the shadows.
Under the guidance of this mysterious entity, he became one of the strongest masters of the underworld, reaching the zenith of the True Titan Tier and becoming as powerful as the Atrox Immortus Emperor.
Just as Amon was ready to rise beyond Aether and march into the Astral Sea, the mysterious entity that guided him from his childhood became present.
The mysterious master was a young man, not even twenty years old, and resembled a hybrid of the Abyssal Clan and Hell Clan.
'Horus!' Cain's killing intent exploded as he saw the Inferno Daemon in the memories of the Depravita of Wrath.
Amon was shocked that the mysterious master was a young man since that person had been teaching and guiding him for thousands of years. However, Horus dispelled all those doubts, displaying his seemingly endless knowledge and blasting Amon into the ground, proving his superior strength.
Horus told Amon he was part of a race whose power spread across the entire Astral Sea and offered the Atrox the chance to become one of them so he could join his brothers after marching past the Crystal Wall.
Although changing his race was a big decision, Amon's desire for power was immense. Besides, while Horus made it sound like an offer, the Atrox was smart enough to notice the menacing tone in the young man's voice.
Ultimately, Amon accepted Horus' offer and continued the ritual. The process was blurry, as the Atrox's mind and soul were in a state of utter change and mutation at the time, so Cain learned very little about it.
