"You two will kill Cain Laurifer."
A wide smile appeared on the bloodied face of the Blood King as he listened to the Void King's words. There was no way he would have forgotten the young man who thwarted his plan to seize the Blood Astral Beast's soul and blood.
However, the other Dark Kings frowned. They were at the peak of the Aether, with power that could surpass the Old World's H-Bomb, yet they were tasked with dealing with a mere seventeen-year-old.
The Void King noticed their dismay and offered an explanation for targeting such an insignificant character.
"Cain Laurifer has interfered with The Organization on multiple occasions. He not only disrupted the Blood King's plans, but I'm 99% certain he was behind the upheaval in Saharo City."
The Dark Kings looked at the Void King in surprise upon hearing this. While the genetic experiments in Saharo City weren't of significant concern, they were part of a larger strategy, and its disruption set back their agenda by several months.
"That boy's destiny continues to soar, and he has already become a shining star among the Empire's youth. That alone wasn't reason enough for us to act. However, he's spent nearly fourteen days inside the Tower of Stars."
Surprise, awe, and killing intent flashed in the Dark Kings' eyes upon learning this. Fourteen days in the Tower of Stars implied that Cain's comprehension of the Realm of Stellar Synthesis approached the threshold for Divine Ascension.
Understanding something and harnessing its power are two different matters. Yet, if Cain went unchecked and his cultivation base reached the Wave King Rank, and then his battle power would become formidable. While they could still easily eliminate him, complications often arise with prodigious talents.
The Blood King's cold smile vanished, replaced by sheer coldness and killing intent. He was sure that just as he wanted Cain dead, the boy harbored the same intent. If Cain's power grew unchecked for another century, they might become equals, a scenario the Blood King wouldn't tolerate.
"I am more than willing to end the boy's life, but even entering the Prometheus Sector undetected poses a challenge, let alone infiltrating Eden."
The Void King nodded, turning to the Shadow King, the likely candidate for such covert tasks.
"I can get the Blood King into the Prometheus Sector, but Silver City's defenses are too formidable, even for me."
The Void King nodded, pausing to formulate a strategy.
"Shadow King, you will escort the Blood King into the Prometheus Sector and extract him once he's completed his mission."
The Shadow King nodded. While he was keen to showcase his combat prowess against the Aegon Family for other objectives, he primarily acted as a conduit.
"Blood King, the assassination is your responsibility. Do you have a plan to lure the boy out of Eden?"
The Blood King paused, then responded, "I could exploit the Azure Royal Family. From what I know of him, the boy is typically cautious but acts decisively against atrocities committed against the weak and innocent. However, this might expose our ties to the Azure Royal Patriarch."
Outside the Three Towers of Adam, over a dozen people waited. When Cain arrived, it had been empty, courtesy of the Crown Prince's influence, but typically, individuals of high standing queued for entry.
While the Towers of Concepts and Tower of Laws functioned normally, the Tower of Stars faced an issue: its capacity had been reduced to one user. Clearly, someone occupied it, and as days went by, onlookers grew curious about who could endure such an extended stay.
A middle-aged man exited the Tower of Stars with profound insight gleaming in his eyes and a satisfied smile on his lips, having advanced his understanding of the Realm of Stellar Synthesis.
Almost immediately, another individual approached the Tower. However, before he could touch it, the Tower of Stars shone once again, signaling another departure.
All eyes turned to the newcomer, eager to identify the individual who'd managed such a long tenure in the Tower of Stars. Most expected an ancient powerhouse, considering the fortitude required. Yet, to their astonishment, they saw a young man with chrome hair and dark eyes.
Cain's eyes were bursting with red light as waves of information and insights flooded his mind. Everything around him went blank as he could only focus on the transcendental experience he had just undergone.
Although his mind went blank very soon during the process, the feelings of being part of a celestial body, experiencing a supernova, and his particles generating new astral structures were vivid inside his soul.
Yet, Cain's eyes soon grew sharp as he felt powerful people looking at him, some not bothering to disguise their probing gazes.
Cain was confused as he did not understand where the Crown Prince and the others had gone, but as he looked at the date with his [A.I. Chip Module], a wave of shock assaulted him.
'Fifteen days!'
He was aware that the more time he spent inside the Tower of Stars, the greater the benefits, but that also meant more tremendous pressure on his soul. Cain did not think he would last more than five days but made a mistake.
'How?'
There was no damage to his soul, confusing Cain on how he could have stayed inside the Tower of Stars for so long without any backlash. The obvious answer was the Absolute Life Form System, but he still felt there was something more about it.
Many questions assaulted Cain's mind, but the first thing he needed to do was to leave this place.
"Young man, could you come here for a moment?"
Unfortunately for Cain, it was not so simple since he had yet to take a step when an old man summoned him.
The old man had long gray hair, and a gargantuan energy pool was inside his body. While he expressed his words as a question, the intent in his eyes made it clear that he would not allow Cain to simply leave.
Cain's eyes grew cold, but before things escalated to something else, the teleportation formation in the area glowed, showing the presence of Krane.
The middle-aged man drew people's attention, not only due to his timely arrival but his powerful aura.
