Chapter 1776: Becoming the Sun!
The Sun Lord felt a sense of horror like nothing he had ever known—an all-consuming, overwhelming dread that crushed his spirit. It was so intense, so unbearable, that the thought of taking his own life briefly flickered through his mind. Anything seemed preferable to facing what Cain had in store for him.
Unfortunately, his hesitation sealed his fate. Before he could act, the power of the Astral Black Hole in Cain’s right hand had already locked onto him, drawing him in like a celestial vortex. The Primordial Deities and ArchDeities who had been watching the events from the outskirts of the Divine Kingdom—not willing to interfere but too curious to turn away—felt a shudder in their souls.
That the Sun Lord had been defeated was astonishing enough, but even more shocking was how the young woman, Meylin, had severed the bond between the Sun Lord and his Divine Kingdom with apparent ease. They were stunned by her precision and strange abilities. But what came next shattered even their understanding of what was possible.
Before their very eyes, the Sun Lord’s figure twisted unnaturally and dragged helplessly into the swirling vortex of Cain’s right hand. His body was compressed, crumpled, and consumed until it reached the Astral Black Hole, where it vanished completely, swallowed whole. And that... was only the beginning.
"RUMBLE!"
The Neo-Demon’s body trembled as a massive surge of power coursed through him. Cain’s physical might grew exponentially, his Neo-Demon Aura rising in waves of dark purple energy that radiated in all directions like a cosmic storm.
Each pulse was so dense that it could have flattened entire cities, suffocating lesser beings under its sheer intensity. The energy storm raged on for hours, Cain’s aura climbing higher and higher as the assimilation of the Sun Lord by the Astral Black Hole advanced.
Then it happened.
"RUMBLEEEEE!"
This time, it wasn’t just Cain’s body that trembled—it was the very fabric of the universe. From the core of the landmass, a massive spiderweb-like network of energy erupted outward, extending into the broken remains of the Sun Lord’s Divine Kingdom and filling it with radiant light.
The sight was so overwhelming that even the two titanic figures who had been watching from afar—the Lord of the Void and Dragon Empress Tiamat—could not hide their awe.
One of the three thousand Core Oniric Truths that formed the foundation of the Crimson World Matrix began to glow with a resplendent, ominous power. Billions of tendrils of energy emerged from it, snaking through the chaos beyond the realm until they connected with the Neo-Demon’s body. They intertwined with Cain’s essence, merging into his soul and True Name.
