Cain was left in a state of shock and speechlessness, his eyes fixed on the unfolding events. The climax came when the entity, in hot pursuit of Horus and the aliens, vanished into the depths of the Atlas Continent, only to reappear moments later, bearing news of Dark Sky's weakened state. It then cocooned itself in a shimmering golden shell, leaving the warriors in a state of uncertainty.
Although the entity never revealed his name or identity, it was easy for Cain to recognize him. That sense of apathy and overbearing attitude born of a deep-rooted belief in absolute superiority was not new to him. He had seen it during the awakening of his Alter-Ego and believed it to be his former self, the one before the reincarnation that brought him to Aether.
