Dread and unease rippled through the ranks of the dragons and saintesses of the Scarlet Crusade as they watched the strange, vampiric phantom phase into the Scarlet King's soul. These seasoned warriors had seen Cain face countless opponents with overwhelming dominance. Still, even they knew that soul invasions were a different battlefield—one where even Cain's overwhelming power could be challenged.
After all, no matter how near-invincible Cain was within the First Realm, he was not absolute. Especially not when the invader wasn't just a Void Eclipse Legend, but a fragment of the consciousness of a Prima Deity.
There was nothing the Crusade could do now. All they could do was wait—and trust that the Scarlet King, as always, knew what he was doing.
Within Cain's Soul Dimension, the phantom of Lilith, the Blood Queen, moved with supernatural speed. In an instant, she pierced through the cosmic landscape and reached the black hole.
