The Royal Blutlinie realized the Scarlet King lacked mysterious backing, igniting confidence among the Eternal Soul Kingdom's warriors. Shakra taunted Cain's isolation, but Cain laughed defiantly, shattered his mask, and demanded the Sacred Treasure fragments for his collection. Fusing arm and leg pieces, Cain unleashed a divine surge of power, struck Shakra, and triggered the king's own fragments to disengage and fly to him, leaving Shakra crashing to the earth as the battlefield froze in shock.

The gauntlets and chestplate—along with all other parts—started to swell and transform, remolding into gear that surpassed ordinary armor by leaps and bounds. Emerging from this was a streamlined black exosuit, its exterior sculpted in a brawny, lifelike pattern that showcased raw strength alongside swiftness. Fierce golden barbs thrust out from the shoulders, forearms, and hips, crafting a lethal, nearly draconic profile. Reddish glowing patterns on the chest throbbed akin to a beating nucleus, with divided panels gliding softly as if inhaling tremendous vitality.

The helmet featured a slim, sharp-edged visor that projected a frigid, ruthless stare across the battlefield. Horn-shaped protrusions arched from its sides, forging a look that fused knightly grandeur with something much darker—something infernal.

Seamlessly fused to Cain's right side stood a colossal golden dragon-formed arm part of the armor, its build seeming both machined and vital, like it harbored its own spirit. The left arm, in contrast, stayed unfinished—the ultimate absent component.

Cain couldn't cease grinning as overwhelming might flooded his frame. It crashed like an ocean surge through each vein, each muscle, every bit of his existence. Yet the shift was not

finished.

His Chaos Wings started vibrating in harmony with the Sacred Treasure. The segments on his back adjusted and conformed, wrapping around the wings as if destined to unite from the start.

The outcome was awe-inspiring—and horrifying. Those wings now served as tools for unmatched velocity and blades able to carve through Alpha Omega Overgod flesh like mere parchment.

For an instant, astonishment flashed in Cain's thoughts. Then realization dawned.

"It's clear now..." he whispered in his mind. "They were always connected.

From the very beginning."

He perceived it clearly—the Sacred Treasure's roots and the Power of Chaos linked on a profound level beyond his prior grasp. This revealed why he could detect the fragments, disrupt them, and even alter their makeup.

Myriad inquiries flooded his thoughts.

But now was not the moment.

"KILL HIM!"

Shakra's bellow exploded from the crater's depths below. Scores of enormous Soul Beasts rocketed skyward, their shapes writhing in rage and savage hunger. The Royal Blutlinie from the Eternal Soul Kingdom gritted their jaws, quelling the primal dread gripping their souls as they charged after.

In one heartbeat, Cain found himself encircled—dozens of Royal Blutlinie plus hordes more Soul Beasts converging from all angles, all bent on his demise.

And still...

Thrill and euphoria alone stirred in Cain's heart. "Fourth Realm Asura Form."

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

A gigantic blast swallowed the spot he'd occupied. Yet prior to the shockwave dissipating, his form soared high above. His pulse boomed like war god's war drums, each throb rippling the surrounding atmosphere.

"With the Sacred Armor... my endurance has finally reached the level where I can use it without immediate backlash."

His fists balled up, quivering with eagerness.

Then he lunged into action.

Drawing on the Endless River of the Flow's momentum, Cain plummeted earthward.

"ZNNNNNNNN!"

His velocity proved so immense it ripped a clear rift in space's weave.

For the Royal Blutlinie, the true horror lay not in the warp—but the void.

One had vanished.

Their gazes darted down right as they saw the Scarlet King planted on the ground, his armored fist pulverizing a fighter's cranium while the other hand yanked the Ancestor Drop from the

corpse.

A chilling hush rippled across their formation.

That velocity...

It was nightmarish.

Not even Peak Alpha Omega Overgods could track it. Limit-level ones glimpsed only a streak—far too tardy for response.

Cain glanced upward at them and grinned.

Then he ascended once more, a deadly comet streaking forth.

The Royal Blutlinie sensed their cores clench—but they refused to halt. Battle-hardened killers by birth, tempered in slaughter, their reflexes and savvy propelled them ahead as they unleashed total might.

A deluge of strikes inundated the heavens.

Innumerable skills burst forth, erecting a duplicate dome of ruin spanning endless expanses. Even Cain's

speed couldn't dodge it all. At minimum, they'd hinder him—forge a gap to funnel their force into a fatal blow.

Or that's what they thought.

As Cain smashed into the barrage tempest, his frame commenced spinning.

A golden maelstrom swirled about him.

Onrushing assaults got sucked into its grasp, whirling inside while the firmament warped into a colossal cyclone. The Flow orchestrated it all—diverting, devouring, reforming.

The display boggled the mind.

Ere anyone responded, the cyclone rocketed up—then

detonated.

A tremendous surge of devastation exploded outward, flinging Royal

Blutlinie and Soul Beasts across every direction, utterly demolishing their formation.

Cain floated amid the turmoil, searching for his next foe.

Then-

His gaze tightened.

He lifted his gauntlet right in time to deflect a sky-blue fist resembling a

rhinoceros horn.

The collision boomed like thunder.

Cain's eyes focused sharply as he fixed his stare on Shakra.

The Eternal Soul King had changed form. His whole frame was now

clad in merged Soul Beasts—living armor fused into flesh and

bone, emanating vast power.

"Good," Cain remarked calmly. "But not good enough."

He shattered the deadlock in an instant, unleashing a punch.

Shakra lifted his left arm to defend, that limb bolstered by a

tortoise-like Soul Beast. Still, the force shook his entire body, hurling him skidding back through the air while blood dripped from his mouth's edge.

Shakra's physique had already reached the Half-Step Fourth Realm. By adding

his Soul Beast armor, he had thrust himself alarmingly near

the actual Fourth Realm.

But Cain...

Thanks to the almost finished Sacred Armor and his Fourth Realm Asura

Form, his body had surpassed that barrier.

His velocity had surged even higher.

And through the Flow plus the Power of Chaos, his energy too

neared the Fourth Realm.

The divide between them wasn't endless.

Yet it proved absolute.

It resembled the gap between a pack of hyenas... and a lion.

They would get ripped to shreds well before tasting any triumph.
