Chapter 1605: Sunstorm Oblivion
“Gu Eternal Swarm!”
The moment Reverend Madness uttered those words, something stirred on his back. In the span of a single heartbeat, billions upon billions of insects emerged, an endless tide of nightmare-fueled atrocities capable of blanketing an entire continent in mere moments.
Each twisted creature possessed not only unprecedented ferocity but also an aura so corrosive that the very fabric of space seemed to melt around them. Reality warped at their approach, and a malicious, hissing sound filled the air.
Their target was clear: high above, Cain hovered in the sky, colossal wings spread, surrounded by an ever-shifting corona of divine flames. Despite those waves of fire, known to be hot enough to melt even the flesh of powerful Divine Transcendence Masters, the swarm exhibited no fear. They launched themselves at Cain with shocking speed, weaving through the flames as if guided by a horrific hive intelligence, intent on devouring his flesh and soul.
A sharp light flickered across Cain’s eyes. Still, despite the encroaching swarm, he did not panic. He kept his halberd raised high while part of his consciousness climbed ever higher, reaching deeper into the domain of the Astral Supremacy Stars.
The swarm, of course, offered no mercy. The insects lunged from all directions—front, back, left, right—crashing into Cain’s giant draconic-serpentine form with tremendous impact. Their mandibles dripped venom potent enough to melt divine stones, and their serrated legs slashed furiously, each blow intent on rending his body apart.
Pain coursed through Cain’s veins as he felt the relentless assault. Although his endurance was immense—bolstered by the Concept of Power and a physique tempered by the Indestructible Herculean Technique—he could not entirely ignore the agony.
Black venom seared his flesh where it seeped into wounds, and vile mandibles tore ragged chunks of his scaled hide. Cain’s Concept of Life continually attempted to heal the damage, but the insects’ attacks were unceasing and surprisingly effective. Inch by inch, they tore at his defenses.
Yet Cain remained resolute. There was no wavering in his spirit, no second-guessing of his strategy. His decision to seek a new Astral Supremacy Star in the midst of a fierce battle was neither arrogance nor negligence.
