Chapter 380 Impossible choice (I)
[There is a dense amount of energy in a chaotic state. However, the core of the sphere seems to be hollow, and it is where the energy source of the phenomenon is located.]
Cain's eyes were full of resolution as he focused on the core of the phenomenon after the Absolute Life Form System's report. As long as he destroyed it, the phenomenon would disperse, and everybody would live.
It was extremely dangerous, but if Cain did nothing, millions would die, so he did not have a choice.
Cain's Blood Wing flapped at a shocking speed as he pushed himself to the limit, triggering Third Gear. His velocity was beyond impressive, but there was a significant problem: the sphere of energy was generating a strong gravitational field and emitting powerful radiation.
Resisting the gravitational field took every ounce of Cain's strength, and he could feel the radiation burning his skin and muscles. If not for the Radiance of Life overcoming the damage, just getting near would have been deadly.
"¡BOOM!"
Cain had not even reached the edge of the sphere of dark golden energy when it shrunk and unleashed a new energy blast, sending him flying away and crashing against the tree wall formed by Krane.
"Cough!"
Cain couldn't help but cough up blood as enduring the power of the energy blast was too much, even for someone like him with a body as resilient as a Golden Wave Artifact.
The rate of the energy blasts increased, and Cain had not even regained control over his body when a new one emerged.
"¡BOOM!"
Cain's eyes widened as he saw the energy blast was about to reach him. Luckily, a wooden cocoon formed above his body, protecting him.
Krane had acted just in time to save Cain from the energy blast, but he couldn't help but clench his teeth as the next one nearly shattered his tree wall, and he was forced to use all his energy to enhance the defense.
"My Lord, I will not be able to stop the blast for long!"
Cain heard Krane's voice in his mind as he caught his breath. The energy blasts were too strong, but that was not even the main problem. Now that he could perceive the phenomenon's power better, Cain knew he lacked the strength to reach its core by force.
"¡BOOM!"
Another blast emerged from the dark golden sphere, almost blowing the tree walls to pieces, pushing Cain's mind to the limit as it was just a matter of time before Krane could no longer hold, and hundreds of thousands perished.
"MY LORD!"
Once again, Cain heard Krane's voice in his mind and understood just how dire the situation was. The red light in his eyes grew stronger as he took a deep breath and unleashed his Ego Wave, enveloping the exterior of the phenomenon with it.
Cain's mind relaxed as he activated The Flow. His senses would not be enough to find a way in, but he hoped that the unique technique that allowed him to perceive the vibrations and patterns of all things would help him.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"
The sphere shrank again before unleashing another blast, this time so powerful that it nearly sent the tree wall flying away.
"¡AHHHHHHH!"
Krane shouted as he made his Essence Wave burst with more and more power, using all he had to keep the tree wall in place. His body trembled due to the immense pressure he was enduring, and he knew he wouldn't last long.
Luckily for the middle-aged man and everyone else in the Azure State, Cain's eyes opened as there was a decisive light in them. Using The Flow, he found a way into the sphere of dark golden energy!
'Right after a blast, in which it releases its chaotic energy, its structure grows unstable before growing larger again. It is less than a fraction of a second, but I could reach its core and destroy its origin!'

Cain adopted a sprint position inside the tree wall and took a deep breath as his heartbeat grew stronger, entering Third Gear and pushing it with even greater strength as his Astral Wave and Blood energy focused on his legs.
"Krane, when I give the signal, open the cocoon!"
Krane didn't know what Cain's plan was, but he trusted the young man and nodded as he once again made his Essence Wave explode with power, reinforcing the tree wall and ready to open the wooden cocoon as soon as Cain gave the command.
The sphere of revolving dark golden energy once again shrank before unleashing an even more potent blast in all directions.
"¡BOOM!"
"NOW!"
The blast had just reached the tree wall when Krane heard the command, and he immediately opened the wooden cocoon.
"¡BOOM!"
Another burst echoed, making the tree wall tremble, but this was not due to the sphere of dark golden energy, but the young man that blasted forward with so much speed that he was invisible even to a Wave King!
Cain's eyes were full of determination as he pierced through the energy shell of the revolving sphere and, just as the Absolute Life Form System told him, the core of the phenomenon was safe. It was like the eye of a hurricane; everything around was being obliterated, but this place was safe.
Cain did not have time to relax as the sphere would not take long to destroy the Azure State, so he had to act fast and immediately took out Slaughter.
Cain's eyes glowed with a powerful red light full of determination as he looked for his target. However, his entire body trembled with shock and horror once he saw the phenomenon's origin.
"Sob, sob."
A child's cry echoed inside the core of the revolving sphere of energy less than five meters away from Cain. The little boy was in a fetal position, crying, and it was not hard to see the genetic damage, as over half of his body was badly mutated, with tumors all over him.
