Chapter 1821: Awakening the Dream (I)
Cain and the Star ArchDeity fought with a ferocity that could only be described as borderline insane and suicidal. Their every strike was focused solely on delivering killing blows, with neither side bothering to defend or worry about the harm arising in their bodies. This was not a duel of finesse or strategy—it was pure, primal war. Flesh and power collided in chaotic harmony.
Wounds split open across Cain’s Neo-Demon form repeatedly. Even with the help of The Flow, he couldn’t counter or dodge every attack. The Star ArchDeity’s strikes were too fast, too refined, carrying cosmic power of the highest level. But thanks to the endless vitality provided by the Scarlet Throne, each injury healed almost instantly, allowing Cain to continue his relentless assault.
This reckless exchange worked both ways. Cain’s Sky Devourer began to bite into the flesh of his foe. Each successful strike pierced through the Star ArchDeity’s arms, and legs, even scraping past ribs and shoulders. Unlike Cain, however, the ArchDeity lacked regeneration. Worse yet, Sky Devourer carried an insidious energy that poisoned every wound it caused. The damage expanded like a venom, making each cut bleed profusely, weakening the ArchDeity with every passing moment.
Yet, despite this back-and-forth, it was clear to all observers that the Star ArchDeity held the upper hand. His speed, strength, and technique eclipsed Cain’s—especially in moments of head-to-head exchanges. But this advantage brought him no satisfaction.
His grim expression made it clear: Cain was not his only concern.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!”
A thunderous explosion, even louder than the clashes between Cain and the Star ArchDeity, echoed across the sky. Next to them in the highest sky, the Dragon Empress and the Lord of Ages collided in a spectacle of divine fury.
Tiamat wore a brutal, triumphant smile as she released a torrent of crimson flames that melted the very fabric of space-time. The Lord of Ages responded with desperation, summoning massive walls of shadow and chains to protect himself. Still, the force of Tiamat’s attack overwhelmed him, sending his body flying backward, coughing out mouthfuls of blood.
Without the support of the Star ArchDeity, the Lord of Ages was no match for the Dragon Empress. Worse still, his old wounds from his first clash with the Dragon Empress were beginning to flare again, further weakening his already declining strength.
