The psychic power began to condense within the minds of the four Prima Deities. In a matter of minutes, it coalesced into a glowing seed—radiant, pulsing with the light of life and power.
That was a Scarlet Seed. When he was still a life form at the Mind and Body as One, Cain was forced to use the Origin Power of a world to forge the Scarlet Seed, but thanks to his evolution to Mind and Soul as One along with the incredible amount of energy held inside the Scarlet Throne, he was able to forge the seed without external help.
The eyes of Alacuard, Pation, Karter, and Lancer burned with red flames as they witnessed this majestic phenomenon.
"It is the Scarlet Seed," Cain explained calmly. "Use your life force and soul to nurture it. In doing so, you will give birth to your own Scarlet Leviathan."
The four Prima Deities immediately focused on his words, not daring to miss a single syllable. They had already seen what such power could become—the massive, scarlet serpent that had emerged from the Sky Sovereign, transforming into a celestial heavenly body within the Throne’s realm. Even now, the Sky Sovereign’s aura continued to grow stronger, his presence expanding under the throne’s nurturing influence.
It was clear to all of them: at least within the Ego Eternal Path of Power, there were no limits to his evolution.
"The Scarlet Leviathan itself may not be of direct use to you in battle," Cain continued. "Its power is meant to support Divine Masters. However, through it, you’ll gain access to my concepts. With your energy reserves, soul force, and psychic potential, it won’t take long before your Leviathans evolve to the Peak Sovereign Rank. Once they reach that level, they can merge with the Scarlet Throne—granting you direct access to my path, and an ocean of psychic power."
Cain paused for a moment and turned his gaze toward the Sky Sovereign.
"Of course," he added, "that’s only the beginning. I intend to help you transcend the limits of flesh and blood. To help you become entities with unlimited potential. But before we can even begin that process, you must first be connected to the Scarlet Throne at a metaphysical level."
The Sky Sovereign clenched his fists, red flames dancing in his eyes. His Leviathan had already enhanced his talents immensely—but now, it seemed, his evolution was only beginning. What else could he obtain under Cain’s guidance? What heights could he reach?
A small smile appeared on Cain’s face as he saw the thrill and ambition rising in the Prima Deities. Then he waved his hand, and the Scarlet Throne slowly faded from sight.
"Return to the Everlife Continent and prepare it," Cain commanded. "It must be ready for the birth of my kingdom when I return."
The Sky Sovereign, Alcuard, Pation, Karter, and Lancer knelt, bowing their heads with reverence.
"Hail the Scarlet King."
With those words, they rose into the sky and vanished in a flash of energy, streaking back toward the Everlife Continent.
Cain had given them little instruction, but that was intentional. He needed to see if they had the initiative, wisdom, and power to become his generals. The Scarlet King would be the core, spear, and shield of the Scarlet Path—but one man could not conquer a world alone. Even at full power, his consciousness could barely cover half a continent. And there were eighty-one continents in the Everstrife Empyrean World.
If he wanted to spread the Scarlet Path, he would need generals—leaders capable of guiding his legions across the world.
A small sigh escaped Cain’s lips as he considered all that still lay ahead. But soon, his eyes sharpened with focus and resolve. He turned his gaze to the distance, nodded once, and then vanished.
Divine Sea’s eyes narrowed as she watched Cain disappear. She couldn’t sense even a flicker of his energy—proof of his complete mastery over space-time. He had left no trace behind.
All manner of thoughts raced through the ArchDeity’s mind. Cain had not hidden his words, and she had clearly heard everything—the rise of the Scarlet Path.
"My Lady... what do we do?" asked Aurelius, his voice trembling.
"Do we return to our Heaven... or do we prepare?" he asked hesitantly. Though he didn’t dare say it aloud, the fear in his tone was unmistakable. He had seen Cain’s power like everyone else. The idea of opposing someone like that was terrifying. And deep down, he wasn’t sure Divine Sea could defeat him.
After all, before Divine Calamity’s cultivation backlash, he and Divine Sea were equals.
And Cain had utterly dismantled the ArchDeity—dismembered him and forced him to flee in terror.
Divine Sea considered remaining in her stronghold, preparing for a potential invasion. But after a moment, she shook her head.
"His focus will be on the domains of Divine Calamity. There’s no point in us waiting here," she said. "Let’s return home."
With that, she rose into the sky, her form flickering as she vanished into the distance. The Omega War was over. There was no longer any reason for her to remain on the Endlessdeath Continent.
Behind her, Aurelius and Amelia bowed respectfully toward her fading presence.
There was still much to do before they could leave. They needed to dismantle the stronghold, secure their influence, and re-establish order within the Endlessdeath Continent. The war had left behind chaos, and if they simply left, the Lord Tier organizations would likely fall into brutal internal conflict.𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
That would only weaken Divine Sea Heaven further.
As Divine Sea and her followers departed, word of the Omega War’s conclusion began to spread. And with it, the name of Cain Laurifer spread across the Everstrife Empyrean World like wildfire.
Every Omega Lord-tier organization turned its attention toward this new, rising figure.
In secret chambers and divine halls, they gathered intelligence, called upon ancient seers, and activated their deepest oracles. They needed to know more. Who was the Scarlet King? What were his goals? How strong was he truly?
