Chapter 2389: The death of the Scarlet King (II)
"He transferred the killing mark of his soul to mine!"
Cain’s eyes widened as realization struck him like a thunderbolt. The implications were horrifying, and the situation instantly became catastrophic.
If he left this dome, the Universe Will would strike him with power so overwhelming that it could erase his very existence. This was not a threat—this was a certainty.
"What should I do...?"
Cain knew he had to act, and he had to act fast. Time was the one thing he no longer possessed. His lifespan was fading at a shocking speed, each passing second carrying him closer to irreversible death.
"Dammit... dammit... dammit!"
The Scarlet King roared in frustration. He was locked in a broken city, unable to contact anyone, a deadly storm waiting outside, and he was aging so fast that this place might very well become his tomb.
This was not a problem that could be solved through combat. No amount of brute force or martial supremacy could fix what had been done to his soul. If he failed to find an answer soon, the Scarlet King would quite literally die of old age.
"Anark..."
The name surfaced in his mind unbidden. The True Primordial had once entered a state of stasis that lasted for billions of years—his body frozen while his mind and soul remained active.
That technique might allow Cain to survive the corrosion of his lifespan. At least long enough until he found a more permanent solution.
But the problem was leaving this place.
