Zero’s soul continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second was agonizing, but the old man endured it all until the pain finally subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark on Lord Zero’s forehead stopped glowing and stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as that happened, both Cain’s and the old man’s eyes glowed, a sense of awe and wonder filling them as they experienced an otherworldly connection to the point where they could hear each other’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection genuinely surprised Cain, but it wasn’t over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he focused, his Eye of Gluttony surged with power, and in the next moment, he saw a massive scarlet dragon through Lord Zero’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Cain understood what had just happened: he could use the Eye of Gluttony to see through the old man’s eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Amazing, what else can I do?’ Cain thought, truly amazed and thrilled by the mark’s capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had generated the mark, the truth was he had little idea of its full potential, as it was a power born through the catalyst of his True Name-something beyond his current understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Cain’s focus deepened, he sought to test the limits of his control over Lord Zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark on the old man’s forehead began to glow again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Zero, kneeling on the ground and still adjusting his breathing after the initial agony, suddenly felt the mark flare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“AHHHHH!” The old man screamed in pain, his voice raw and strained as he twisted on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agony was worse than when the mark first branded his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though the mark’s gluttony was unleashed, consuming his very existence, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately for the old man, the pain lasted only for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, now filled with fear, glanced toward the scarlet dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The connection between them allowed for telepathic communication, and it was clear that Cain could also end his life with a mere thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was unsettling to have his life in another’s hands, Lord Zero managed a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suppose it was a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can now be certain I will fulfill my part of the deal.” Cain looked at him, smiling as he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can now trust that you won’t betray me or interfere with my plans so I can let you leave this place alive.” Lord Zero bowed deeply before the scarlet dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will act as your agent, my Lord, and provide you with all the information you may need to deal with the powerhouses of the South Coast Alliance.” After a brief pause, he straightened and met Cain’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder, my Lord, if I may ask a few questions.” Cain, sensing no harm in indulging him, nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no reason to be cruel or overbearing, especially since he now had complete control over the old man’s life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is the name of the mark, its nature, and what are its powers?” Lord Zero asked, voicing his greatest curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had accepted the mark to preserve his life, but now that it was fully integrated, he wanted to understand what kind of deal he had made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain contemplated for a moment before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forged that mark using my Oniric Truth of Gluttony and True Name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its name is the Mark of Abaddon.” His voice carried a solemn tone, sensing deep within his instincts that this new tool would play a pivotal role in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The name “Abaddon” had become synonymous with terror and legend across the South Coast, making it a fitting title for the tool that would help him bring down the alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Zero mirrored Cain’s solemn expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind focused as he listened carefully to the scarlet dragon’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I have been theorizing the mark’s powers, you are the first to receive it, so its full capabilities are still a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can share thoughts now, and I can see what you see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark can also consume your entire existence if I wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, we’ll need time to discover its other abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep me informed of any insights or developments.” Lord Zero nodded, adopting a pensive expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the Mark of Abaddon seemed to primarily exert control over him, but he suspected much more was yet to be revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, a cold light entered his eyes as he turned to Cain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Lord, may I ask how you found me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took great care to ensure that only one person knew the true nature of my identity and location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would have known if something had happened to him, yet no signal was triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he betray me?” Cain gazed at the old man, noticing a flicker of sadness beneath the cold exterior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Lord Zero trusted this person deeply, so the thought of betrayal weighed heavily on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You were not betrayed, old man,” Cain said, surprising Lord Zero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion spread across the old man’s face, but everything became clear as Cain continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Armadius, your right hand-the one whose knowledge led me to you-did not betray you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew someone as paranoid as you would have safeguards in place if the person who knew your identity died, so I captured his mind in an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I created a scenario in which he needed to contact you and tracked you down through that.” Lord Zero was stunned, a small smile creeping onto his face as he asked hopefully, “Then Armadius?” “He is alive,” Cain confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was cautious in case you had others watching over him, so I didn’t alter his behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the illusion, I wiped his memory of the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has returned to his normal routine.” Lord Zero sighed in relief, a broad smile of genuine relaxation spreading across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Armadius was the only person he truly trusted, who had supported him and helped him rise to his current status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that Armadius had not betrayed him and was still alive lifted a heavy burden from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his focus quickly returned to the task at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Schedule: 17\u002F14 (+7) Previous week: 733 power stones Power stone ranking: +600: 7 plus chapters a week +800: 10 plus chapters a
