Chapter 928: Order of Gluttony: Lord of the Flies
"Who among you has awakened me?"
The Collapsing Lightning Emperor and the rest of the warriors of the Sacred Races couldn't help but feel apprehensive as they heard those words and saw the young man's eyes. Although they were still baffled by what was happening, it was clear that the person speaking was someone else, not the Scarlet King.
The warriors of the Sacred Races glanced at each other, trying to decide what to do. They knew too little about this new entity, but it was clear his power was monstrous. The problem was that they didn't know what type of relationship he had with the original Cain or if he was an ally or foe.
This new, unfathomable entity left Horus and the rest of the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky equally perplexed. Although they had technically awakened him, they were also trying to destroy his body.
Seeing no one dared to answer him, the Red King's eyes grew sharp as the plasma tentacles emerging from his back buried themselves even deeper into the fabric of space. "Order of Karma: True Heart!"
"RUMBLE!"
The world trembled once more as a new set of rainbow threads began to glow. The Red King channeled their energy, and a wave expanded from his body, instantly reaching every warrior of the Sacred Races and the aliens of Dark Sky.
The next second, both sides saw purple karmic threads, representing their innermost emotions and intentions, emerge from their bodies, all connecting to the young man's body in the sky.
The threads emerging from the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and the warriors of the Sacred Races were charged with a white light that evoked devotion, respect, and reverence. On the other hand, the threads rising from the aliens of Dark Sky carried a dark light, evoking disdain, greed, and a cold, disgusting killing intent.
"I see. So you are an enemy." The Red King turned toward the aliens of Dark Sky. He showed no reaction upon discerning the emotions and intent in the hearts of the aliens, as if he didn't care in the slightest that they hated him to the care and wanted to take his life.
However, when Horus and the rest of the aliens of Dark Sky saw the Red King grabbing the dark karmic threads connected to their bodies, a sense of impending doom, a feeling that their lives were literally hanging by a thread, assaulted their hearts as if the reaper's scythe loomed over their necks.
"Wait! We are the ones who awakened you! We are part of the Depravita Race!" Horus shouted with all his strength, fear evident in his eyes as he felt closer to death than ever before in his entire life.
The six Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky turned to their leader as he revealed their greatest secret, which should never be uttered. The punishment for disclosing that knowledge was more than they could bear. However, they couldn't really blame him; after all, their enemy was monstrous and held power they couldn't even comprehend.
