Although he had been taken by surprise, the Ancient One's eyes sharpened instantly. He raised a single hand and caught Ragnarök head-on. The arc of power—an attack capable of cleaving a Middle Alpha–Omega Overgod in half—was halted by nothing more than his open palm. The sheer display of strength was shocking.
Ripples of reality-shattering light exploded outward in all directions, making the sky tremble and the earth shake, yet none of it managed to overwhelm the Ancient One. His figure stood firm at the center of the chaos, unmoved.
But Cain was far from finished.
Before the first arc of light had even faded, Cain had already appeared behind the Ancient One. His heartbeat thundered as a supernova as he triggered Asura Form to the highest level his body could endure.
Muscles swelling as life force and soul power surged through his body. Without hesitation, the Scarlet Kig slashed straight toward the Ancient One's neck.
Unfortunately for Cain, Sky Devourer never landed.
