The Eternal Soul Realm is gripped by a brutal conflict as the Eternal Soul Kingdom and the Knights of the Immortal Nirvana Realm clash with reality-altering power. Amidst the carnage, the sadistic warrior Almor encounters a wounded soldier named Martin, intent on savoring his fear before dealing a final blow. Suddenly, a mysterious, masked figure named Cain descends from the sky, exerting a pressure that freezes both combatants. After effortlessly shattering Almor's illusion-based defenses, Cain seizes the noble and subjects him to a terrifying vision that transcends mortal comprehension.

Almor trembled uncontrollably as he was forced to endure the sheer weight of The Flow. It wasn't a standard strike; there were no blades, raging fires, or brutal impacts, but rather an infusion of raw, unvarnished truth. This fundamental reality poured into his being, ruthlessly dismantling the illusions that had once served as the pillars of his sanity.

His consciousness was pulled into that infinite stream where all things converge—a realm where past and future blur, where the distinction between self and other vanishes, and where the singular and the collective become indistinguishable.

As he struggled to grasp a dimension where identity was merely a fleeting ripple upon a cosmic sea, his mind began to fracture. He witnessed the birth and death of stars, the rise and ruin of empires in the blink of an eye, and the constant intertwining of countless lives. He felt his presence expand across the breadth of eternity, only to be violently compressed back into the narrow vessel of his mortal form.

As his resistance finally cratered, tears cascaded down his cheeks. The violent trembling lasted until, at last, his body turned limp.

The Royal Blutlinie continued to breathe.

But his mind was utterly eradicated.

Martin had witnessed the entire ordeal.

A tremor racked his body as he watched. He had previously faced the Power of Fear directly; despite his veteran status, his spirit had been crushed, leaving him a terrified shell. Yet, the man in the red mask had handled an even more potent illusion—one crafted by a master of fear—and decimated it in a single moment.

Then, he had subjected Almor to a torture far more profound.

"A King-Level powerhouse... or perhaps even higher," Martin mused, his thoughts regained now that the oppressive aura from Almor had vanished. "Where could such a being have come from?"

It was clear this man was not native to the Eternal Soul Kingdom, but Martin felt certain he wasn't from the Immortal Nirvana Kingdom either. No such individual had been documented within their ranks in the Eighth Realm.

Just as Martin pondered how to navigate this volatile situation, the masked figure pivoted toward him.

Martin froze, his muscles locking in place.

"Sir, I appreciate your assistance," he stated quickly, forcing his voice to remain steady. "I represent the Nirvana Crown Prince. You have performed a great service for the Immortal Nirvana Kingdom, and we shall see you are rewarded for your aid."

His words were carefully measured. Within that brief address, he signaled his alliance with the leadership of his kingdom while offering both gratitude and the prospect of future gain. It was a calculated, respectful maneuver, yet devoid of submission. Cain gazed at him in silence before responding.

"My objective is to eliminate the warriors of the Eternal Soul Kingdom. It is to my benefit if the Immortal Nirvana Kingdom remains formidable. I can propagate my own legend during the process."

Martin stared blankly.

The statement didn't felt directed at him; it was as if Cain were simply voicing his internal musings, barely acknowledging his listener. The casual dismissal was profoundly unsettling. Such blatant disregard was humiliating, yet Martin prioritized survival over pride.

"However," Cain proceeded, "my primary goal was to acquire intelligence. This serves as an excellent chance to gather information from both factions."

Martin’s blood turned to ice.

He attempted to move—to send a warning or to bolt—but before a single muscle could react, a finger wreathed in white flames tapped his brow.

The Eternum Flame surged directly into his consciousness.

Within a heartbeat, Martin went rigid. His body, mind, and soul were trapped in a state of absolute stasis.

Cain rested his hand atop Martin’s head. His eyes shone with a faint luminescence as his spirit probed the Royal Blutlinie's core, excavating memories with surgical precision. He sought all data concerning the Immortal Nirvana Kingdom—its Eighth Realm forces, strongholds, commanders, and specifically, the capabilities of the Nirvana Crown Prince.

As an elite soldier, Martin’s soul had been fortified with numerous seals to prevent exactly this level of extraction. Any clumsy attempt to force his mind would have triggered a detonation, resulting in his immediate death and the loss of all intelligence.

But Cain’s methods were anything but clumsy.

Since constructing his new vessel and perfecting the Royal Guards, he had attained profound enlightenment regarding the soul. With surgical delicacy, he unpicked the safeguards one at a time, bypassing them without triggering a reaction.

Memory after memory poured into him.

When he accessed the files regarding the Nirvana Crown Prince, Cain’s eyes narrowed.

"A Peak Alpha Omega Overgod," he whispered.

The Crown Prince possessed the eighth fragment of the Ancestor's Tomb Sacred Treasure, a tool scattered throughout the Seventh Realm that significantly boosted his physical prowess, pushing him beyond typical King-Level fighters. His physique alone could challenge those who had encroached upon the Fourth Realm.

However, that was not what truly piqued Cain’s curiosity.

In Martin’s memories, he witnessed the Crown Prince executing a complicated hand seal. The very fabric of reality buckled as a domain surged outward.

"He has unlocked his Ancestor Domain."

Ancestor Domains were the summit of the Ancestor Path. They allowed the wielder to extend the authority of their Ancestor Drop, seizing control over local reality to amplify both raw strength and Ancestor abilities. Within such a domain, a user could unleash the destructive output of the Fourth Realm without fully bridging the gap.

Under normal circumstances, this revelation would have been a significant concern, bringing an avalanche of complications.

Yet, surprisingly, he felt no trepidation.

Since wearing the red mask, everything had achieved a sense of flow. Pressure, doubt, and extraneous distraction had vanished, leaving only pure, focused resolve. It echoed the moment he first awakened the Power of Order, though this sensation was clearer and devoid of taint. He wasn't forcing dominion over his mind; it felt as if he were reacquiring an ancient quality that had always resided within him, allowing him to act in perfect harmony with it.

It was strange.

But undeniably effective.

He carried the essence of Order while maintaining the ability to wield the power of Chaos.

Once the vital intelligence was harvested, Cain pulled back his hand. Martin remained suspended in a frozen, deathly stasis.

Cain then turned toward Almor.

The Royal Blutlinie laid on the floor, blank-eyed and still.

His consciousness had been irrevocably shattered.

Cain raised his hand.

Almor’s body jerked.

Invisible, violet threads infused with scarlet flame emerged from Cain's fingertips, weaving into the broken man’s flesh and spirit. With a subtle twitch—like a puppeteer testing his threads—Cain tugged.

Almor was pulled to his feet.

His posture shifted into a rigid battle stance, though it lacked any internal intent.

Cain flicked his wrist.

In a flash, Almor surged forward.

His hand pierced through Martin’s chest without a hint of hesitation.

Blood sprayed as Almor tore out Martin’s pulsing heart.
