Chapter 2422: King of the Aztorus Kingdom
It did not take long for Cain to purify every Ancestor Drop and fuse them with his own. Once that process was complete, he did not rest. Instead, he immediately continued modifying and enhancing his new body, refining every aspect with meticulous care.
Although the Scarlet King was confident that the Aztorus Kingdom would recognize the value of turning the Ocean of the Blood Sun into the primary battlefield, he was not the type to entrust his fate entirely to others. Contingency was power.
That was why golden orbs began to appear across key points of the blood ocean, sinking beneath the crimson surface like stars swallowed by a red sea.
"I truly hope I won’t need to use these merely to defend against the Kalous Kingdom," The Scarlet King murmured.
A sense of solemnity spread through his soul as he continued his work, expanding the Ocean of the Blood Sun and improving the might of his new body.
Days passed. Then weeks.
Yet there was no sign of the higher-ups of the Kalous Kingdom.
That absence unsettled Cain.
"Did I misjudge them?" the thought crossed his mind.
Just as it did, the Scarlet King sensed it.
A massive floating white fortress was moving toward the Ocean of the Blood Sun.
It was gargantuan—its sheer size rivaled nearly ten percent of the blood ocean itself. The structure radiated power, countless auras overlapping and colliding, creating pressure that bent the air and dimmed the sky. Cain’s perception swept across it instantly, identifying dozens of formidable presences.
