Chapter 1754: The red eyes that froze time
Cain could still feel the Origin Power flowing steadily into his body and soul, each surge of energy enhancing him with terrifying strength. But right now, his attention was fully consumed by what loomed overhead—the Crimson World Matrix.
Unlike the radiant, noble thread that had synchronized with Meylin, Cain’s connection was to something darker—something vast, ominous, and incomprehensibly ancient.
The thread that aligned with him pulsed with an eerie force and the power it represented felt like a hunger that devoured all, assimilating existence itself. It was not only a consuming force, but one that twisted and corrupted, endlessly replicating itself and extending in every direction like a plague of divine scale.
To most, this would have inspired fear. But Cain only smiled, his eyes flashing with excitement and awe.
He had long transcended simplistic moral constructs like good and evil. The world was not black and white—it was an ever-shifting tapestry of greys, where destruction could lead to rebirth, and corruption could foster wisdom. Even a power as malevolent as this could be used for good, so long as the wielder possessed the will to never lose sight of his path.
The Oniric Truth of Gluttony began to glow with overwhelming might. Countless microscopic threads extended from the core of that truth and slowly weaved their way into Cain’s body. As they sank into his flesh, blood, bones, and internal organs, an unfathomable energy surged through him. His entire being was evolving, physically, spiritually, and metaphysically to an incredibly high level.
But that was only the beginning.
The threads soon reached Cain’s Soul Dimension and began merging with the Black Hole at its core. The spiritual vortex deepened and densified, dramatically increasing its energy capacity and defensive strength. It was as though Cain’s very soul had been reforged with divine iron.
Then, the threads went deeper—into the heart of Cain’s True Name.
As they entwined with Reaper Vorax Imperator, they infused his True Name with new levels of force and complexity. The words began to glow, their power increasing dramatically as Cain’s comprehension of the Oniric Truth of Gluttony pushed past its previous limits. This process was standard for any cultivator who reached full mastery of an Oniric Truth.
But suddenly, something happened that broke all precedent.
