"Since my soul force is at the Wave Champion rank, doesn't that mean I can awake another module!?" Modules were the core components of the Absolute Life Form System, and each was incredibly powerful and helpful. There was not a day that Cain did not actively use the [A.I. Chip Module]. While his reliance on the [Genetic Coder Module] had diminished lately, he did not forgo that this one was the reason for his superb talent as a Genetic Coder, not to mention it was thanks to this one that he managed to carve a plan to escape the underground Saharo City. The limitation regarding numbers and power of the Absolute Life Form System's modules was related to his soul force, which should usually grow with each cultivation realm. Now that his soul force evolved to the Wave Champion rank, he should have the capacity to not only evolve the [Genetic Coder Module] but also unseal the next one. "That is right, brat. Since your soul force rose to the Wave Champion rank, your soul is strong enough to endure the pressure of releasing a new module." Cain could not control the thrill in his heart as he heard Apex's words. The powers of the modules defied logic, and he was sure the next one would not be less amazing than the other two. "System, how much Destiny Force do I have?" Cain had not been paying too much attention to his Destiny Force lately since there was no need to use it, and he had allowed it to stock up. Yet, now it was finally the time to use it. The Absolute Life Form System answered Cain's question like always. [Destiny Force: 9824] That was a massive number, more than nine times larger than the one he got a year ago after killing the Wave Champion Atrox, but it made sense. After all, Cain had killed all sorts of geniuses, attained great lucky chances, and established relationships with all great powerhouses, raising his destiny to a whole new level. Cain smiled since that amount was more than enough to evolve the [Genetic Coder Module], take advantage of its new tools, and use the new module. Excitement and thrill built up inside Cain as he could not wait to command the system to unlock the new module and see just how amazing it was. Yet, just as Cain was about to command the system, a message reached his [A. I. Chip Module]. [Cain Laurifer. The Collapsing Lightning Duke has summoned you. Report to the Titan Tower immediately.] "What!?" Zarak had already told him that the Collapsing Lightning Duke wanted to talk with him, but he did expect the man to have such awful timing. He was just about to learn about a new module, something that had intrigued him since the moment he got access to the [Genetic Coder Module]. "Ahhh." At the end of the corridor formed by those gravity pillars was a man sitting on a throne. He had short black hair, blue eyes that glowed with white light, a muscular body nearly two meters tall, and his aura was so powerful that it seemed capable of twisting space around him. The man had a black robe covering his figure with two words on it. Collapsing Lightning. It was evident to Cain that man was no other than the Collapsing Lightning Sector Duke, the strongest man in the entire Sector, the one that killed the Atrox God that invaded Gaia, a Titan of the Godslayer Humankind! The aura of the Collapsing Lightning Duke was so intense that for a second, Cain forgot he was looking at a human, and what appeared in his sight was a bolt of black lightning that could level entire Sectors! A red light appeared in Cain's eyes, allowing him to regain focus, and it exploded with even greater strength as he took a deep breath and began to walk forward. Luther saw that, and there was a flash of surprise on his face. The fact that Cain could adapt so fast to the pressure of the Collapsing Lightning Duke was impressive. The Collapsing Lightning Duke was also a little impressed, but then shock appeared in his eyes when he felt Cain's soul force and realized it had already evolved to the Wave Champion rank. Strengthening your constitution or improving your understanding of the Laws was not too complicated, and while there were very few treasures that could help the willpower, there were many ways in which you could evolve it, but the soul was different. Improving your willpower would have an effect on your soul force, but that would be hard enough to make it evolve. Treasures that improved the soul were incredibly scarce; even if you found one, it did not mean you could use it. The soul was fragile, and any type of energy sent into it could lead to severe problems if not appropriately guided. The Collapsing Lightning Duke deduced that Cain must have gotten great lucky chances during Blade Mountain's natural inheritance to achieve such massive improvement. In the beginning, there was only curiosity in the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Duke since, despite Cain's talent, he was not unique, and there were several other geniuses at his level across the empire. However, now that he saw the improvement in the soul force that the young man attained without the help of anyone, that curiosity transformed into interest. A smile appeared on the Collapsing Lightning Duke as the white light on his eyes grew stronger, and the next second an incredibly powerful force field emerged from his mind and drove toward Cain at full speed. Cain's eyes widened as he saw the white force field coming his way like a tsunami that could sink entire cities in a second. He was not foolish enough to try and fight it, and instead unleashed his Ego Wave, covering his body with it, and continued walking forward. Luther was shocked to see the Collapsing Lightning Duke unleashing that white force field, and even more when he saw how Cain managed to continue walking beneath its immense pressure. Facing the willpower of a legendary figure like the Collapsing Lightning Duke was not easy, but Cain's face showed nothing but calm as he carried on until he was five meters away from the throne.
