A flicker of confusion crossed the Star ArchDeity's face as he heard Cain's laughter. But the confusion didn't last long.
It all became terrifyingly clear when an overwhelming, destructive aura erupted from every inch of the Neo-Demon's body. The very air twisted around him, and the sky began to scream. The aura was so intense, so cataclysmic, that it started to erode the fabric of space-time itself, breaking down reality with every pulse of Cain's presence.
"What is going on!?" the Star ArchDeity shouted, his voice edged with both confusion and growing dread. He could hardly comprehend the exponential growth in Cain's power. But there was no time left for thought.
Cain was already upon him.
The Neo-Demon's sword, Sky Devourer, came down like the scythe of death itself. The Star Man clenched his teeth and raised his own weapon, instinctively moving to parry the attack. But the moment the blades touched, his eyes flew wide in horror.
