Chapter 1722: Massive boost to Soul Force
Silence returned to the Encroaching Darkness, broken only by the slow footsteps of Cain.
The silver star on his forehead flickered faintly before finally fading away. His Primordial body was in critical condition—internal bleeding, ruptured organs, cracked bones—symptoms of the immense strain brought on by activating Fourth Gear.
Yet, thanks to the regenerative capabilities of his Pseudo-Immortal Body, Cain remained standing, albeit barely. His face was pale, drenched in sweat, and every breath came with effort. Still, he advanced forward.
After a few moments, he came to a halt before the shattered form of the Deus Behemoth.
Michael lay in a crater of broken stone, his once-mighty body completely mangled. Nearly every bone in his frame had been fractured or shattered, his internal organs ruptured, his energy pool critically eroded, and his soul force unstable and scattered. He tried to breathe, but his collapsed lung and shattered ribs offered no aid. Death clung to him like a shadow.
Cain looked down, his voice soft but resolute.
“I must say… it was a good fight. I’m at my absolute limit.”
He nodded in solemn respect—then his expression turned cold and merciless.
“But now… the fight is over.”
Without hesitation, Cain grabbed Michael by the throat, lifting the broken warrior effortlessly into the air. The Scarlet Throne materialized behind him, its presence casting a red hue across the surrounding darkness. Horror flashed in Michael’s fading eyes as he saw the gate of the throne open—he understood what was about to happen, but he had no strength left to resist.
A moment later, Michael’s soul and ego were torn from his broken body and dragged into the throne.
