Skull Lord's eyes widened as he took in the treasures Cain revealed. His gaze lingered for a fraction longer on the dagger, and a faint ripple crossed his aura as recognition set in. He could feel it clearly—this weapon was no less formidable than his own Sun-Pierce Sword, a treasure forged to wound even Alpha-Omega Overgods.
He stepped closer to Cain, a complicated expression forming on his bone face.
"With your accumulated merit and these artifacts," Skull Lord said slowly, "you indeed possess access to everything stored within the Life Path's treasury. Unfortunately… there is nothing there capable of satisfying your requirements."
Cain exhaled softly. He had expected this answer. His body, reinforced by his body refinement technique, already stood at the absolute limit of the Early Alpha-Omega Overgod tier. Any further enhancement would require something extraordinary—something that transcended conventional treasures.
