Of course, Cain could have fought the automaton and perhaps even pushed matters to a draw. Yet the wounds he would have received in such a confrontation would have been grave, and it simply was not worth the cost. What truly troubled him was that this particular automaton was just a regular Peak Divine Transcendence Master.
"Then how strong are those like Lady Azure and the old man from the library?" Cain wondered. Those two were figures who had managed to push one of their cores of power into the Third Realm so they would be significantly more powerful than a mere automaton. If a "normal" foe at the peak of Divine Transcendence was dangerous enough to force Cain to concede or flee, how much more formidable would these individuals be?
