Chapter 1609: Reverend Madness’ secrets
Cain closed his eyes momentarily as his consciousness was transported to the Scarlet Throne. Immediately, he saw the soul of Reverend Madness trembling in absolute terror.
The instant the gates of the Scarlet Throne sealed shut, the overwhelming power of the Concept of Gluttony surged forward, flooding Reverend Madness’ soul like an unstoppable tide. This primal force began to consume the entity’s vast and extensive memories, integrating them into Cain’s mind and becoming inseparable from his own consciousness.
Yet, this consumption was only the beginning. Inside the Scarlet Throne, the power wielded by Cain through the Concept of Gluttony ascended to an unfathomably higher level. Here, the devouring force went far beyond mere memories—it reached deep into the core of Reverend Madness’ very essence, stripping away the soul’s spiritual force, fundamental insights, and foundational power.
Such a feat was similar in concept to the Eye of Gluttony, which Cain had previously wielded, but the difference in magnitude was enormous. The Scarlet Throne didn’t simply absorb the insights or copy them; it forcefully extracted entire Laws and Concepts directly from the ancient entity’s soul, permanently embedding these cosmic truths into Cain’s very being.
Cain quickly realized that this process would be both intricate and lengthy. Unlike absorbing mere memories or surface-level insights, integrating Laws and Concepts required meticulous precision and time.
Thankfully, Cain wasn’t impatient. The vast repository of memories and experiences from Reverend Madness was immense, spanning hundreds of millions of years. Even with Cain’s extraordinary processing speed and mental prowess, sifting through them would take considerable time.
As Cain navigated the sea of memories, his wounded body and fatigued soul slowly began to recover. Although he had severely overextended himself during the recent fight, Reverend Madness’ soul offered a treasure trove of vitality and potent energy, gradually healing Cain from the inside out.
After five focused hours, Cain opened his eyes, an enlightened glint shining clearly within them. He had yet to fully analyze all of Reverend Madness’ memories, as the sheer scale was simply too immense for such a short span. However, he had deliberately prioritized and extracted information specifically related to Reverend Madness’ death, his subsequent rebirth, and the underlying truth behind the mysterious Gu Contest.
Cain recalled rumors that when Reverend Madness first appeared in the Everstrife Empyrean World, he created immense chaos, eventually provoking the wrath of a powerful Primordial Deity. Under threat, Reverend Madness retreated to his home realm, disappearing into obscurity for thousands of years. Upon his return, he emerged with the strength and prowess of a Third Realm entity, profoundly changed and unimaginably powerful.
