Cain pushed his power to the limit using the Asura Halo, distributing the immense pressure across the collective willpower of billions. Despite his overwhelming strength, his previous wounds still threatened to overwhelm him. He launched a decisive attack, aiming to separate his three opponents. However, the Samsara Lord Incarnation intercepted the blow, sacrificing itself to create an opening for the other two. Cain skillfully evaded their pincer attack and struck down the Neo-Demon Incarnation. But the Depravita Incarnation’s touch began to corrupt him, forcing Cain to use his own powers to counteract the corrosive darkness. He managed to sever the Depravita Incarnation's arm, but the other two Incarnations returned, forcing Cain into a defensive stance.

The Incarnation of the Samsara Lord could not believe its eyes as it watched the Samsara Shield shatter into countless fragments.

Although Myriad was technically nothing more than a memory manifested through the power of the Samsara Lord, it was no ordinary memory. It was an entity that had risen alongside the great Samsara Lord during the most ancient eras of existence, and its power had been refined through countless battles.

The Samsara Shield, in particular, possessed a defensive might that should have been impossible for any newly ascended Fourth Realm life form to destroy, no matter how extraordinary or majestic that existence might be.

Yet there was no denying what had happened.

The shield had shattered.

Fragments of purple-black energy scattered through the void, each piece carrying remnants of the ancient Samsara Force, before the dark scarlet flames covering Tyranus Gungnir devoured them one after another.

Shock echoed all the way into the core of the Samsara Incarnation.

But there was no time to dwell upon the loss.

The instant its eyes met the Scarlet King’s, every instinct in its body screamed.

Danger.

Cain’s three eyes seemed to eclipse everything else, their light filling its entire vision and dragging its consciousness into an abyss. It felt as though an immeasurably vast beast was staring directly into the deepest part of its soul, possessing the power to erase not merely its body, but its very existence.

The Neo-Demon and Depravita Incarnations immediately sensed the danger facing their companion.

Without hesitation, they attacked.

One came from the left.

The other from the right.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their killing intent erupting as they launched a combined assault designed to crush the Scarlet King between them.

Cain felt the pressure of their attacks approaching before they even arrived.

But he did not retreat.

The battle had gone on for far too long.

It was time to end it.

"ARGHHHH!"

Cain roared as he raised Tyranus Gungnir and thrust forward with everything he had.

The halberd flashed through the void like a doomsday shooting star.

Its massive blade tore through space, carrying the combined might of Cain’s Fourth Realm Forces and the terrifying power of the Asura Halo. The Incarnation of the Samsara Lord attempted to react, but even with its incredible battle instincts, it could not overcome the weapon of death descending upon it.

Tyranus Gungnir pierced its chest.

The force behind the thrust did not stop there.

The halberd continued forward, carrying the Samsara Incarnation’s body through the void until it crashed directly into the Universal Wall.

"BOOM!"

The impact created a gigantic hole in the ancient barrier.

The body of the Samsara Incarnation was driven deeply into the wall, with Tyranus Gungnir impaling it from the chest and pinning it against the structure.

Cain smiled.

However, his expression changed almost immediately as the attacks from the other two Incarnations reached him.

His dark crystal wing and scarlet chains moved simultaneously, warping around his body and forming a defensive barrier.

"Apocalypse Blast!"

"Depravita Burst!"

The two attacks struck him at point-blank range.

"BOOOOOOM!"

A massive sphere of dark purple plasma erupted around the Scarlet King, completely engulfing his figure.

The combined power of the two attacks was so immense that reality itself began collapsing within the surrounding area. The laws that formed the fabric of existence were torn apart, destroyed by the sheer force released within the explosion.

The Neo-Demon and Depravita Incarnations poured even more energy into their attacks.

The burning sphere grew larger.

Then larger still.

They could no longer see Cain within the flames, but they knew their attack had landed directly.

They also knew that the Scarlet King had chosen to ignore them in order to go for the killing strike against the Samsara Incarnation.

They would make him pay for that decision.

Their energy did not simply fall blindly into the burning sphere. Instead, layer after layer of destructive power descended upon the previous one, forming an enormous prison of dark plasma around Cain. They intended to transform the explosion into a coffin from which even the Scarlet King would be unable to escape.

For several seconds, the void trembled beneath the bombardment.

The sphere carried more gravitational presure that even one hundred black holes combined. Yet even that was not enough.

A figure emerged from the destruction.

Cain.

His entire body was covered in burns, his flesh damaged beneath the dark robe, while his wing and scarlet chains were both badly battered. His breathing was heavy, and every breath felt as though fire were still burning inside his lungs.

Even after reaching the Fourth Realm and activating the Asura Halo, the combined attack of the Neo-Demon and Depravita Incarnations had been terrifying.

Yet Cain slowly raised his head.

A wide smile appeared on his face.

"I have won!"

Every word carried an overwhelming sense of pride and determination, powerful enough to make even gods tremble.

Cain had pushed himself beyond his limits again and again.

His body had been broken.

His soul had been wounded.

His life force had been burned.

Yet he had continued advancing until he finally stood at the end of the battlefield.

Victory was within his grasp.

Even though the Depravita and Neo-Demon Incarnations still possessed considerable battle power, Cain could already see the truth through the Eye of Flow and the Eye of Chaos.

Both were connected to the Samsara Eye.

And once the Incarnation of the Samsara Lord holding it perished, the other two would disappear with it.

The battle was over.

Or so Cain thought.

"TRRRRRR—"

A tremor suddenly spread across the Universal Wall.

Cain’s eyes immediately became sharp.

He turned toward the enormous hole he had created.

Then he saw it.

A figure emerged from the depths of the wall.

The Incarnation of the Samsara Lord.

It was still alive.

Its body was battered, and blood covered its form, yet its hand was firmly wrapped around Tyranus Gungnir.

The halberd was soaked in its own blood.

Cain’s eyes widened.

The Incarnation had removed the halberd from its own chest using nothing but raw strength and sheer ferocity.

For a moment, Cain said nothing.

Then the light within his eyes grew brighter.

Respect.

Admiration.

"It is only an echo of the Samsara Lord," Cain murmured, staring at the figure before him. "Yet it is this fierce."

His expression became solemn.

"The tribulations that man faced must have been unimaginable for him to forge a will like that."

Despite the respect in Cain’s eyes, his resolve did not weaken.

He extended one hand.

Tyranus Gungnir immediately trembled.

The Incarnation tightened its grip, but the halberd broke free from its grasp and flew back toward its master.

Cain caught the weapon.

"The battle is over."

His voice was calm and decisive.

His gaze fell upon the enormous hole in the Incarnation’s chest. Its heart had been destroyed, and Cain’s dark scarlet flames were still flowing through its body, devouring what remained of its life force.

It was nothing short of a miracle that the Incarnation remained alive.

But it would only be for a few more seconds.

"Hmph."

The Incarnation sneered.

It could feel its existence fading.

Yet even death could not stop an entity carrying the battle will of the Samsara Lord.

With the final strength remaining within its soul and body, it slowly clasped its hands together.

The Neo-Demon Incarnation and Depravita Incarnation suddenly froze.

Their bodies began collapsing into streams of energy.

One became a stream of violet force.

The other became a stream of decaying power.

In a heartbeat, a dark purple star manifested between those palms, rotating faster and faster as it consumed the remaining essence of the Incarnation. It knew that its end had arrived, but it had no intention of accepting death quietly. If it was going to perish, then it would drag the Scarlet King down with it!

Cain immediately recognized the danger of the final attack being prepared by the Incarnation of the Samsara Lord, and his grip around Tyranus Gungnir tightened.

"If left unchecked, it could tear a scar across the entire universe."

His voice was solemn as he understood the magnitude of the threat before him. An enemy unleashing everything it possessed in one final attack was not something that could be taken lightly. Even a dying Fourth Realm existence could unleash power capable of threatening the entire universe.

However, Cain was not unprepared.

His eyes turned toward the Emperor of Conquest, who had remained completely motionless ever since Cain activated Asura Form. Yet that stillness had never been due to pure arrogance.

The Emperor had been silently gathering power with every passing second, waiting for the moment when its strength would be needed.

That moment had arrived.

Cain extended Tyranus Gungnir.

In the next instant, the Emperor of Conquest transformed into a stream of scarlet light and flashed directly into the halberd, fusing with the weapon.

"BOOM!"

Tyranus Gungnir erupted with flames.

The collective willpower of trillions of life forms surged into the weapon alongside the Emperor, pushing its power to a level that even the halberd could barely endure. The dark scarlet runes covering its blade writhed violently as an overwhelming aura spread through the void.

The Incarnation witnessed the transformation, yet it did not hesitate.

It simply unleashed its final attack.

"Samsara End!"

A massive cannon of dark purple force erupted from its palms, carrying enough power to crush an entire universe.

At the same moment, Cain roared as he charged forward with every ounce of power within his body.

"Scarlet Sovereign Charge!"
