While Cain went through the memories of the entity that called himself Red King, something else happened in a remote corner of his soul.
Apex stood in front of the massive gate covered by chains of golden-purple flame and black-white lightning.
There was a somber expression on the System Spirit's face as he saw wisps of electromagnetic energy emerging from the crack in the gate and blending into Cain's soul.
Apex stared at those wisps containing the ego of the Red King. While he wanted to stop them, he could not do it.
'Brat, whether this is a divine lucky chance or an abyssal catastrophe is up to you. I can only hope that you will not forget who you are.' Apex could not do anything but sit down and wait for things to unfold.

Cain was still confused by all that was happening since Zarak's hypnosis was supposed to leave him in a lucid dream, not evoke old memories.
