Chapter 1647: Assimilating an ArchDeity
Cainâs willpower surged like an unstoppable tide, relentlessly overcoming his bodyâs natural resistance and gradually calming the chaotic energies radiating from the newly implanted eye.
Slowly but surely, the overwhelming, agonizing pain faded, replaced by an intense, harmonious sensation. The unique and terrifying power of the Deus Behemothâs eye was merging seamlessly with Cainâs body, becoming an intrinsic part of him.
After three arduous days, Cainâs body finally stabilized, fully integrating the foreign organ. A wide smile brimming with thrill and excitement emerged on Lord of Conquest Leviathanâs face as Cain gradually returned to his normal, human-like size.
His left eye retained its original nebula-like appearance, swirling with ethereal plasma, while his right eye had transformed into a glossy, pitch-black orb. At first glance, the eye seemed entirely dark, yet upon closer inspection, pale white light reflected from within, revealing inverted constellations deep inside the iris.
âI can feel its powerâitâs truly immense!â Cain could hardly contain his excitement at the tremendous fortune that had befallen him. Yet, soon enough, a more serious expression overtook him, as he began carefully exploring and attempting to control the powers emanating from his new eye.
As Cain delved deeper into the mysteries hidden within the eye, he felt as though he were facing an endless ocean of energy and wondrous capabilities. However, trying to navigate and fully harness them proved far more complicated than he initially anticipated, causing a rueful smile to appear on his face.
âThe eye is now a part of me, and its power is at my disposal, but I lack the soul instincts and insights of a true Deus Behemoth. It feels like having the most advanced energy weapon in existence, yet not knowing how to operate it,â Cain muttered softly, shaking his head slightly.
Indeed, it could take yearsâperhaps even decadesâfor Cain to fully comprehend and master the enormous potential concealed within the new eye. For a Prima Deity like Cain, such a duration was merely a fleeting moment; yet he had no intention of patiently waiting when a far quicker solution existed.
Cainâs eyes ignited with blazing red flames once more, and the next moment, the Scarlet Throne manifested within the hidden dimension, its ominous red gate swinging wide open. Guided by Cainâs powerful will, the Scarlet Throne enveloped and rapidly swallowed the colossal corpse of the fallen Deus Behemoth.
Despite the immense size of the corpse, accommodating it within the Scarlet Throne posed no problem, especially considering it was merely half the size of Anarkâs enormous remains. Once safely secured, the massive gates closed with a resounding echo, and immediately, the full might of the Scarlet Throne activated, its power radiating outward in colossal waves.
Streams of psychic and spiritual force surged through the throne, carefully dissecting the remains of the Deus Behemoth, seizing control of every single lingering particle of spiritual essence. The throne began the meticulous process of assimilating whatever remained of the creatureâs memories, instincts, and abilities.
Cain understood clearly that even with the immense power of the Scarlet Throne, the residual spiritual energy and soul fragments left in the corpse might be insufficient to grant him complete memories or abilities from the deceased Archdeity.
However, it might just be enough to significantly enhance his compatibility with the newly acquired eye, unlocking its hidden potential and enabling him to harness its full power much sooner.
âThis might take some time,â Cain murmured softly, knowing the assimilation would require patience.
Nevertheless, Cain was never one to idly waste time. While the Scarlet Throne proceeded with absorbing the Deus Behemothâs spiritual remnants, he focused his attention elsewhere, pressing forward with his other plans.
Cainâs gaze swept across the hidden dimension, marveling at its extraordinary nature. Over hundreds of millions of years, the radiation and residual energies emitted by the Deus Behemoth had profoundly transformed this hidden space.
The dimensionâs fabric itself had become saturated with unique energies, giving birth to rare materials infused with incredible power. Cain had no intention of leaving such a priceless treasure behind.
First, Cain unleashed his immense Ego Wave, flooding the entire dimension and carefully extracting any useful treasures, cultivation materials, or unique artifacts scattered throughout the cavernous space. Only after ensuring nothing of value remained did Cain take a deep breath, his Ego Wave intensifying even further.
âNow comes the hard part,â Cain murmured with determination as he spread his consciousness to envelop the entirety of the dimension, attempting to seize control over its very fabric.
âRUMBLE!â
The dimension began trembling violently, causing fractures in space-time to appear along the edges. Over the eons, this dimension had merged intricately with the surrounding worldâs natural space-time structure, so extracting it required forcibly severing deeply rooted bondsâa task that was difficult even for a Prima Deity.
âRUMBLEEE!!â
The tremors increased dramatically, and despite Cainâs immense strength and Sundering Concept, the dimension stubbornly resisted his efforts, nearly overwhelming him with its formidable stability.
âDammit!â Cain growled through gritted teeth, feeling his eyes begin to bleed from the immense pressure. His Ego Wave alone was clearly insufficient to extract this ancient dimension.
Yet, just when Cain felt that his efforts were about to fail, a fierce decisiveness lit up in his eyes. Without hesitation, he summoned the power of the Scarlet Throne to aid him.
âBOOOOOMMMM!â
A surge of overwhelmingly potent psychic energy exploded through Cainâs entire being, exponentially amplifying his power and strength for a critical moment.
That brief yet potent burst was exactly what Cain needed. He successfully tore the dimension away from the fabric of the Everstrife Empyrean World, quickly channeling it directly into the [Abyssal Demonic Devourer Dimension] within the [Gluttony Module].
When it came to assimilating souls and psychic entities, the Scarlet Throne was king. However, for physical matter, corporeal energies, and spatial phenomena such as entire dimensions, the [Gluttony Module] was the superior option.
Immediately, waves of pure, revitalizing energy, life force, and spiritual power surged into Cainâs body.
All the exhaustion and spiritual drain Cain had experienced from extracting the dimension vanished in an instant, replaced instead by seemingly boundless stamina and vitality.
âI can feel the module nurturing my Astral Origin, Essence Origin, and even my Ego Wave at an astonishing pace. Incredible!â Cain laughed with genuine delight as he experienced the full extent of the newly improved Gluttony Module.
However, he didnât have long to relish in these extraordinary sensations. His forceful removal of the hidden dimension triggered violent earthquakes throughout the entire Nightmare Kingdom above. The tremors rapidly intensified, threatening catastrophic damage and potentially causing the entire area to collapse into ruin.
