voice trembling with rage as his clenched fists glowed with Star Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy around him crackled violently, a clear manifestation of his unrestrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s smile widened, a mocking glint flashing in his golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a deliberate motion, the Spear of Doom materialized in his free hand, its energy radiating an oppressive force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you think my wounds make me vulnerable, try me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s see who breaks first, little man.” Goldker’s face twisted further in anger, and his body surged forward instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could take a single step, an overwhelming aura erupted from Ariel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crushing pressure swept across the area like a tidal wave, suppressing everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” Ariel’s voice boomed with authority, amplified by his Wind Star Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air itself seemed to obey his will, growing dense and suffocating under his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s expression darkened as the oppressive force pressed down on him, constricting his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing became difficult, but he refused to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grip on the Spear of Doom remained firm as he turned his sharp gaze toward Ariel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For several long seconds, the two locked eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel’s Wind Star Power swirled around him like a storm, but Cain’s aura began to ignite the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Ariel released a small sigh, and the suffocating pressure receded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his space ring, he retrieved a small statuette resembling a tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hand over the prisoner,” Ariel said, his tone sharp and measured, “and I will grant you control of the Tower of Power for six hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that isn’t enough, then bad luck.” Cain studied Ariel’s expression carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outwardly, he remained calm, but inwardly, he was irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Goldker had struck him earlier, it would have provided the perfect excuse to eliminate the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of energy to Goldker’s head would’ve left a satisfying shower of blood and shattered bone, but that opportunity was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrugging nonchalantly, Cain nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With calculated ease, he handed Willis over to Ariel in exchange for the statuette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel didn’t spare Cain another glance as he walked toward the Night Prince’s faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear he intended to enlist their help in extracting Willis’s memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ease with which Ariel ignored Arakos and Lady Azure’s group spoke volumes about the dynamics at play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had appeared to be an objective and impartial stance from the Guardian of the Golden Lake Border was anything but.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel’s rapport with the Night Prince’s faction revealed a hidden alliance, one that explained Goldker’s eagerness to defend him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Azure’s faction wore deep frowns as they watched Ariel’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustration simmered among them, but they were in no position to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain, however, remained indifferent to their concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petty political games of the factions held no interest for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel’s group quickly began their work, using rudimentary methods to search Willis’s mind for information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain observed their crude techniques and silently judged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At best, they would retrieve memories spanning the last year of Willis’s life-valuable but hardly comprehensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his focus away from the group, Cain held the statuette in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm breath, he channeled his Ego Wave into the artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful connection to the Tower of Power formed almost instantly, and an immense influx of energy surged into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy was so intense that, for a brief moment, Cain felt as though his body might rupture under the strain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his foundation held strong, and soon the power stabilized within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength rose considerably, and a faint, satisfied smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the other cultivators turned their attention toward him, watching intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes were sharp and full of suspicion, waiting to see if he would fulfill the purpose he had used to justify his demand: healing his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain maintained his composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a faint smile, he allowed his body to radiate vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly but visibly, his wounds began to mend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process was gradual but deliberate, giving the onlookers just enough to see progress without drawing attention to the Concept of Life, which he secretly employed to accelerate the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the others were satisfied that he was indeed healing, their focus shifted back to their tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain’s smile deepened, and he focused on his true goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System,” Cain whispered internally, “hack into the Tower of Power and rewrite its configuration so I can access it at will.” [Task assigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Estimated time for Dimensional Quantum Hacking to rewrite Tower of Power’s configuration: 4 hours, 35 minutes.] Cain’s grin widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having unrestricted access to the Tower of Power pleased him greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Golden Lake had yet to present a significant threat, its volatile nature made it a ticking time bomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having an ace up his sleeve could make all the difference if chaos erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He maintained his façade of healing while the system worked silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Ariel and the Night Prince’s faction remained focused on Willis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their memory extraction methods were clumsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Azure’s group, on the other hand, concentrated entirely on Renan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They poured every resource and treasure at their disposal into stabilizing her condition, working tirelessly to keep her alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hours passed quickly, and as the six-hour mark approached, Ariel stood before Cain once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sharp gaze betrayed his intent without the need for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He extended his hand, clearly demanding the return of the statuette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tense silence fell over the group as all eyes turned to the pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of their attention was palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cain refused to return the statuette, the situation would escalate instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empowered by the Tower of Power’s energy, Cain could overpower Ariel without much difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, such an action would label him a traitor to the Gu Sect-a risk he wasn’t willing to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm expression, Cain handed the statuette back to Ariel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Guardian of the Golden Lake Border accepted it silently, his gaze lingering on Cain for a moment before turning away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cain wasted no time retreating to a quiet corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting cross-legged, he ignored the others entirely, focusing on his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The factions could bicker and maneuver as they pleased-Cain had no interest in their petty games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld 3\u002F31 Chapter: 21 weekly + 5 for super gift (Preston) + 2 for golden ranking (+70) + 3 for power stone ranking
