Chapter 440 Reviving Dark Mask (I)
The Scarlet King rose from the ground after a few seconds, and the Demonic Phantom vanished as the Blood Nails adopted a defensive formation around him.
Shortly after, Red Hawk and Blue Crow appeared close to him. The duo was severely injured since that tail strike nearly overcame their defenses, but there was no damage to any vital organs, and their current vitality would allow them to heal after a few days.
"Leader."

"Leader."
The duo bowed as they spoke to the Scarlet King using the only moniker they could since, even now, they did not know the man's name.
"Good job."
The Scarlet King gave a profound nod to the duo, being the first time he actually recognized them. Had it not been for their combined attack damaging Dark Mask's chest armor, his shadow slash might not have been able to pierce through it. The attack would have severely wounded the Apotheosis Realm Master, but this one could have retained enough strength to escape.
No longer bothering with words, the Scarlet King closed his eyes briefly as he focused on the vitality and energy coming from the [Demonic Devourer Dimension] and took several drugs from his space ring to supplement his vitality.
'They will suffice until my Ego Wave recovers to the point I can use Radiance of Life.'
Once his condition was stable, the Scarlet King went to the corpse of Dark Mask, and a profound light appeared in his eyes as he took the man's computer ring before flashing away with the corpse, followed by Red Hawk and Blue Crow. After they were far from the battle zone and in a hidden cave, he stripped Dark Mask of all its artifacts, leaving the Atrox naked.
The Atrox was free to follow a path beyond revenge, and if there was one person he was ready to follow, it was the man in the red mask. Their relationship was simple: if he did good, the man in the red mask would make him more and more powerful, but failure meant death.
For someone like Old River, who had embraced the underworld, he could not ask for a better deal than that.
The Scarlet King noticed the look of peace and resolution on Old River, and a small smile appeared on his face. This Atrox was the type of warrior needed for his long-time plans in Kronos. He did not need someone who loved or worshiped him but a man who would follow his lead without hesitation and was ready to bathe himself in blood.
Having already healed long enough and recovered his Ego Wave, the Scarlet King carried on with the genetic alteration on Old River.
The other Atroxs watched everything with attention and saw how Old River's figure began to change. He had grown more youthful after the 9 Revolution Refinement, but now his face was beautiful and young.
A sense of shock appeared in the Atrox as they saw how Old River had become a perfect replica of Dark Mask, not just in appearance since even his aura and bloodline were the same.
The Scarlet King had analyzed Dark Mask's body thoroughly. After mapping his genome, he dissolved this corpse to gain the components to alter Old River, transforming the man into a near-perfect copy of the Apotheosis Realm Master.
Old River emerged from the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber five hours later, and he could barely believe what he saw as he became a perfect copy of Dark Mask down to the most minute detail. The only difference was in his Essence Wave since he was still a Middle Wave Champion, but the new Ice Lineage was already improving that.
"Take."
Old River only heard those words as the Scarlet King sent a dark mask, a strange draconic token, and golden armor toward him. Without hesitation, he put on the mask and the armor, imprinting them with his Ego Wave. However, pure awe and shock assaulted his heart when he focused on the draconic token.
"Ice Draco Emperor."
