Chapter 946: The Final Battle / Flames through Atlas’ sky
While Horus was the first to detect them, it did not take long for the rest of the Depravitas in the hall and around the temple to feel the aura of the hundreds of warriors of the Sacred Races entering Lovecraft City. Horus's shock was mirrored in their eyes as they could not believe what they were witnessing.
It was not the fact that the warriors of the Sacred Races could enter that shocked them. After all, while the dimensional sphere that contained Lovecraft City was essentially impervious to outside attacks, it was connected to the main plane of reality, so entering it was simple for someone with a high mastery of the Law of Space, such as the Scarlet King.
What truly astounded them was that the Scarlet King and Sacred Races would dare to invade Lovecraft City. This was the domain of the Depravita Race in Aether, a fortress full of billions of drones at their disposal, and flooded with Depravita Essence, a resource they could use to constantly regenerate.
The Sacred Races had the home advantage outside, practically besieging the entire dimension and restricting the movement of the Depravitas. Yet they gave up all that and marched into a battlefield they were doomed to lose. No matter how you looked at it, it did not make sense.
Horus knew all too well that the Scarlet King was not to be underestimated; if anything, he was one of the most cunning adversaries he had ever encountered. So, it was a chilling thought that he might enter the headquarters, where the Depravita Race would have the absolute advantage since it meant there was something he was not seeing.
'Wait! Could he?' A sense of panic began to rise in Horus's eyes as he remembered the destruction of Lovecraft City in Kronos. He had seen how the Scarlet King summoned the Time Tribulation to shatter the dimensional barrier but was not worried about such an event happening to his Lovecraft City.
After all, Atlas' Lovecraft City had undergone countless evolutions over the years, and the power of Law Tribulations could do nothing to it, even if hundreds of warriors would trigger it simultaneously. The tribulation's power would simply spread across the entire dimension barrier and lack the strength to do real damage.
However, Horus knew there was one type of tribulation that might be powerful enough to break the dimension barrier, and if someone could do that, it would be the Scarlet King.
"YOU DARE!" Horus roared in hatred and anger as he marched out of the dark temple like a bloodthirsty meteorite, and the rest of the Depravitas soon followed him.
It did not take long for the fifteen Depravitas to gaze at the hundreds of Sacred Races warriors with their own eyes. At the head of them was a young man, his entire body radiating power and vitality.
Cain saw Horus and the rest of the Depravitas marching toward him, and a cold smile appeared on his face as his three eyes began to glow with a red glow, each emanating a radiance that shed a crimson light across the entire dimension!
