Minxet was patiently waiting for the Scarlet King to finish addressing the masses before starting the complex process of acclimating billions of people from Aether to their new homeland. Yet, suddenly, he felt an invisible force gently but firmly lift him into the air, drawing him rapidly toward the sky. In mere moments, he found himself hovering before Cain.
Initially, confusion appeared on the Chief Counselorâs face, but as soon as his eyes met Cainâs intense and profound gaze, a surge of instinctive realization overcame him. His intuition screamed that this would be among the most critical and transformative days of his life.
Cain ensured that the attention of billions below was fully focused upon them. When he spoke, his voice reverberated powerfully across the entire Everlife Continent, resonating deeply through earth and sky.
"Chief Counselor Minxet," Cain declared solemnly, "you have served me and the Scarlet Path with unwavering devotion, heart, and soul. In recognition of your extraordinary loyalty and dedication, I will grant you a physical form stronger than worlds, a vitality that can endure millions of years, and a mind whose speed and sharpness transcend anything youâve ever known. Are you prepared?"
Hearing such monumental words, Minxet could not help but clench his fists tightly. He served the Scarlet King because he genuinely believed in Cainâs grand visionâa future where oneâs destiny was self-forged, where racial barriers crumbled, and where each individualâs mind and identity were shaped solely by their choices, not dictated by artificial hierarchies or false historical narratives.
Still, he had always hoped that his unwavering loyalty and service would one day bear personal rewards. After all, it was in the nature of all sentient beings to want a reward for a job well done.
Therefore, a radiant smile brimming with excitement and determination appeared on his face, and he shouted confidently, "I am ready!"
Cain nodded approvingly before swiftly waving his hand, summoning forth a prisoner whose very presence stunned all who recognized him. It was none other than the Crown Prince of the Golden Star Kingdom. The Sky Sovereign, Alucard, Pation, and countless others who had fought in the Endlessdeath Continent had assumed the Crown Prince was dead in the Omega War. Clearly, Cain had spared him and had merely kept him captive.
For the billions of common people from Aether who had no prior knowledge of the Crown Prince, the man inspired awe and wonder. His presence alone radiated overwhelming energy, power, and vitalityâqualities easily sensed even by the untrained eye.
Before anyone could voice their confusion or curiosity, the colossal Primarch of Conquest Leviathan reached down from above, seizing the Crown Prince in one massive claw and Minxet in the other. Under the astonished eyes of billions, Leviathan lifted both figures skyward before promptly swallowing them whole.
Gasps of shock and confusion immediately spread throughout the crowds below. However, their astonishment intensified exponentially in the following moments, as Leviathanâs stomach area began radiating fierce scarlet energies, so vibrant and powerful that the entire sky became painted crimson.
Cain swiftly closed his eyes, tuning out everything else in existence, focusing solely on Minxet and the Crown Prince within Leviathanâs belly.
In his mind echoed the profound words describing his ability.
"Conquest Incarnate Synthesis: Not mere fusion, nor simple rebirth. It is a synthesis born through conquestâbody, mind, and fate entirely redefined."
Instantaneously, scarlet flames imbued with the profound Concepts of Life and Power engulfed Minxetâs mortal frame, burning away flesh and blood while leaving his pure essence untouched. This essenceâMinxetâs soul, ego, and true identityâbecame extraordinarily empowered and strengthened, growing rapidly under the flamesâ influence.
Simultaneously, equally potent scarlet flames bearing the might of the Concepts of Sundering and Rage flooded the Crown Princeâs Soul Dimension and Sacred Organs. These flames systematically eradicated the Crown Princeâs ego, personality, and individuality, essentially erasing him from existence.
Realizing his imminent annihilation, the Crown Prince attempted to struggle from the mental chains that locked his mind, fighting against the inevitable oblivion. But against the incomparable might of Leviathan, his efforts proved utterly futile. Within the hour, the Crown Princeâs personality completely vanished, leaving behind nothing but an empty vessel, ready for a new master.
Cain briefly allowed himself a moment to rest, catching his breath as the flames momentarily subdued. Soon, however, his mind sharpened again, and he resumed his task. He carefully verified Minxetâs soul and ego had grown powerful enough before cautiously placing them into the Crown Princeâs now-vacant Soul Dimension and Sacred Organs.
Now emerged the powers of Dominion, Gluttony, and Bloodline, each vital to ensure success. Dominion asserted Minxetâs authority over this new form, placing his ego and spirit clearly atop the hierarchy. The Concept of Gluttony facilitated assimilation, merging Minxetâs soul and ego with the new body. Lastly, the Concept of Bloodline integrated Minxetâs spirit into the physical form, aligning both soul and flesh harmoniously.
The intricate, delicate procedure carried on for five arduous hours, during which Cain meticulously oversaw every step of the synthesis. By the end, Minxetâs spirit had fully and irrevocably bound itself to his new, supremely powerful body. Yet despite the successful fusion, Minxet remained unconscious, trapped in a deep sleep.
Normally, transferring oneâs soul and ego into a new vessel was not particularly complex if both were at similar cultivation levels. However, what Cain had attemptedâtransplanting the ego and soul of a Divine Ascension cultivator into the body of a mighty Prima Deity without severe degradation in cultivation or talentâwas unprecedented in the Everstrife Empyrean World. Such a feat would normally be impossible, even for someone as supremely gifted as Cain, unless they had mastered extraordinary Concepts capable of breaking the universeâs fundamental limits.
At this point, Leviathanâs stomach erupted once more with even brighter scarlet flames carrying the full power of the Scarlet Throne, imbued with the ultimate Concept.
Evolution.
These extraordinary flames thoroughly flooded every cell and spiritual particle within the Crown Princeâs body, triggering a complete and total metamorphosis. It was a rebirth and recreation unlike anything ever witnessed before, not simply merging one soul into another body, but producing a revolutionary hybrid possessing all the Crown Princeâs boundless power and Minxetâs brilliant mind and indomitable will.
The process reached its climax, and as the last streak of scarlet fire fully vanished into this miraculous new body, Minxetâs eyes finally opened wide.
