Chapter 2469: Mastering the Power of Karma
A complicated expression arose on Cain’s face as he found himself struggling with the path forward. For a fleeting moment, doubt coiled around his thoughts, whispering of ancient mysteries and unanswered questions. Yet it did not last long.
The Scarlet King’s eyes soon glowed with coldness and unshakable determination, and the hesitation vanished like mist before the sun.
"Home."
The single word echoed in his mind with absolute clarity. He knew what he needed to do. There was nothing more important than his family and his people.
Every choice, every ambition, every power he pursued ultimately served that single purpose—to return to them and fight by their side. The enigmas of the Ancestor Tomb could wait. Its secrets would not disappear, and whatever truths lay buried within its depths would still be there once his loved ones were safe.
With his heart steady and his resolve firm, Cain resumed his analysis. There was still another legacy Aerion had granted him—one that might prove even more valuable than raw strength.
He focused on the principles behind the Royal Bloodline’s Ancestor Power and quickly understood that its essence revolved around the Power of Karma.
It was an extraordinarily high-level force, in no way inferior to his own Quietus Power.
Karma referred to the invisible connections that bound all things—living beings and even inanimate objects. It was through those karmic threads that Aerion had helped the Eternal Soul Kingdom locate fragments of the Sacred Treasures. It was also how he had pinpointed the fragment held within Cain’s own Blood Avatar.
But the applications of Karma extended far beyond mere tracking. One could use it to perceive danger before it manifested, sense approaching enemies, or manipulate the threads themselves as weapons—seals that bound, blades that cut, or invisible chains that restrained. It was a vast and versatile power, particularly suited for survival in a realm where countless forces would be hunting him.
