Chapter 917: The four towers (I)
Cain was in the sky of Infinite Horizon in a meditative position, his aura growing more and more potent by the day as he enhanced his mastery over the Law of Time. It had been four weeks already since he obtained his Tier Zero Gift, the Archangel Fallen Battle Set. However, while the feeling of power was intoxicating and made him want to rush onto the battlefield like a madman, he was not rash.
His individual power had already reached the peak of what he could achieve, a level that filled him with confidence. But that did not mean the rest of his troops were ready.
Angar and Zero Mint needed to evolve their Rebirth Mark and obtain their Pseudo-Immortal Bodies, and the strongest warriors of the army needed to be immunized against the toxic power of the Dark Fog. Luckily, those two tasks advanced extremely fast.
The number of Insect Army's corpses the duo sacrificed every week reached the dozens of millions, and Prime Minister Minxet did a great job spreading the Dark Fog Immunization Wave Viruses among the Divine Ascension Masters, a crucial step in their preparation for the upcoming incursion.
Of course, Cain did not simply wait as that happened. He took care of all the people who had acquired Tribulation Enhancement through the Ouroboros System. The people who bought it had to wait as Cain was going from one place to the other, but now he was finally free, and hundreds gained the extremely powerful Revolution Refinements.
During that time, another five Ouroboros Ranking Winners arose, each of them gaining a powerful World Treasure and Rebirth Mark. After Eon, the subsequent winners were the Dark Emperor, Legio Eldritch Emperor, and Anima Machinarium Emperor, which made sense considering the trio were extremely powerful Divine Ascension Masters.
However, the other two came as a surprise for many. After David, the Anima Machinarium Emperor, the one who secured the first place in the Ouroboros Ranking was none other than General Casidius, the first Inferno Daemon to have ever sided with the Scarlet King.
Cain was not really surprised as the man had grown immensely powerful by training in the [Samsara Arsenal Module]'s First Layer. However, even he had to admit he was shocked to see the one who won the Ouroboros Ranking after General Casidius.
The fifth winner of the Ouroboros Ranking was none other than Bloodless #1, the current Leader of Blood Sea and one of Cain's old friends. The man had shown immense power and skill over the last three years, growing from a Middle Divine Ascension to the True Titan Tier.
A few days after helping Bloodless #1 obtain his reward, Cain's aura reached its zenith as he opened his eyes. Through the [A.I. Chip Module], he was able to see the state of the army. They all had grown immensely and were currently able to butcher the drones from the Insect Army as soon as they stepped out of the Dark Fog.
"It is time for the next step. To break this blockade and push forward. Move toward victory." A monstrous red light burst in Cain's eyes as he decided it was time to start the next phase of his plan and communicated with the strongest warriors in Atlas.
