Chapter 1771: The chaos beyond the realm
Tiamat stood waiting outside the dungeon with a calm and collected expression, her gaze focused and serene. However, when Cain suddenly appeared before her, a flash of surprise briefly illuminated her eyes. She quickly suppressed this reaction, yet it was impossible not to notice the immense surge of vitality and physical strength radiating from Cain’s form. While she had been aware of his unique devouring talent, observing such rapid growth in such a short period was nothing short of astonishing.
"It’s been less than an hour, yet his physical strength has more than doubled," she silently observed. A spark of deep interest momentarily flickered through the Dragon Empress’s gaze, but it swiftly gave way to a composed seriousness as she once more focused on the young Neo-Demon before her.
"What is your next move?" Tiamat asked plainly, her voice calm but carrying a clear hint of significance.
Logically, Cain’s next step would be to forge his Divine Kingdom, the critical foundation of the Crimson World’s cultivation system. However, Tiamat had agreed to provide only enough Origin Power for a single Divine Kingdom. Hence, she wished to know precisely what Cain intended to do next, given this crucial limitation.
Cain smiled lightly, the Power of Order subtly glowing through his eyes. This profound power concealed his true intentions so deeply that even Tiamat, an ancient ArchDeity, found herself unable to discern his inner thoughts.
"I intend to finish the battle I started in the First Realm," Cain said casually, as if discussing a trivial matter.
A sharp gleam of realization flashed in Tiamat’s eyes as she instantly understood precisely which conflict Cain was referring to. She remained silent for a moment, her gaze thoughtful, before finally nodding gently.
"You must carve out a suitable territory amidst the chaos beyond the realm to establish your Divine Kingdom, so I suppose this plan of yours is like killing two birds with one stone," she acknowledged, her voice calm but subtly impressed by Cain’s strategic insight.
Suddenly, the aura around Tiamat surged, filling the skies with a fierce, overwhelming presence. It was an unmistakable declaration of her immense power.
