The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 13: Abnormal

Cain’s imposing body and sharp blue eyes drew the attention of everybody in the military truck. Some women looked at him with coquettish smiles, but he did not care.

His experiences with Cinthy had left a painful mark, and he was not particularly interested in things like romantic love.

After Cain and the fat youth were in the military truck, this one rose above all the houses and flashed away incredibly fast. Despite its speed, the people inside felt nothing due to the inertia gadget.

Some of the recruits were mesmerized by the view, but Cain did not lose his time with it. After finding a conformable location, he immediately restarted his cultivation.

As soon as Cain began to train, all the youth noticed the change in the surroundings, and they were not alone since even Tristan and Lodon glanced at him.

While the youth only noticed something different, the soldiers were the ones that perceived the change in the Life Wave. Cain was like a black hole and devoured everything, leaving nothing for the others.

“This brat’s talent is definitely above Tier 3.”

.....

“Yes, who would have imagined that there were geniuses even in the slums.”

Cain was utterly oblivious to what happened around him. Before obtaining his Lineage, the feeling he got when training was as if drops of water fell on his head, but now it was as if he stood at the end of a mighty waterfall. The feeling was intoxicating, and he could not get enough of it.

Of course, Cain did not let his guard down since he did not know anyone. That is where the [Basic Scan Force Field] came in.

Using that tool, Cain projected an electromagnetic force field around his body that worked as a form of sonar. He commanded the system to wake him if anyone invaded his personal space.

The [Basic Scan Force Field] also could jam signals and electronic communication, but Cain did not activate that function as it would draw suspicion.

Cain began to smile as the military truck got closer to its destination.

72 Sectors formed the Gai Continent, and the closer you were to the core of each one, the mightier the density of the Life Wave would be, which would manifest itself as an increase in the speed at which you improved your cultivation.

The Sector that Cain lived in was the Hellblazer Sector, and after more than a day of travel, the military truck finally arrived at Hellblazer Military Base.

After they arrived at the location and the military truck’s door opened, Cain woke up from his training and glanced at the base, and what he saw shocked him.

“Go into that Star Cruiser. Once all the recruits have arrived, we will march.”

Cain was shocked by that and was not alone, as all the recruits looked at the soldiers with doubt. The Star Cruiser resembled a futuristic aircraft carrier and was beyond massive.

Tristan did not bother with the recruits and left soon after saying those words, but Lodon took a moment to speak to them.

“The Imperial Military Academy has many bases, but none in the Hellblazer Sector. Therefore you will be traveling to the Collapsing Lightning Sector.”

The Gaia Continent was immense, and traveling from one Sector to another was like traveling between planets in the old universe, so there was no surprise none of the youths ever left the Hellblazer Sector.

Many of the youths showed fear at the idea of leaving the Sector. Cain was trembling, but there was no fear on his face.

He did not know why, but the idea of exploring and traveling large distances filled him with a sense of thrill and excitement that was hard to control.

Cain smiled as he began to walk toward the Star Cruiser, and the others soon followed behind him.

Tristan had already reached a zone where many more soldiers had gathered.

“Hahaha, Tristan, you are one of the last to arrive. How did the cadets you brought end up to be?” A large man, almost two meters tall with tan skin and large scars all over his face, spoke loudly.

Although he wore a simple military uniform, it was clear to all how high his status was by how the other soldiers behaved around him.

“Vice-Captain Josef, you sent us to the worst parts of the Sector. Those brats either lack talent, or their willpower is too weak to make proper soldiers. They are not fit for the battlefield.”

The soldiers only nodded after hearing those words. Unlike the Old World wars, where humans fought humans, the battlefield against the Dark Races was countless times bloodier, and few could handle that.

“We did find one that is promising.” Lodon had reached the group and spoke a few moments after Tristan.

Josef’s eyes narrowed after hearing Lodon’s words, and he focused on the recruits that arrived with the duo. It took him a moment, but his eyes finally landed on Cain.

“I suppose you are talking about that brat.”

As soon as Josef saw Lodon nod, his eyes grew colder and projected a powerful intent.

Cain’s eyes widened as he felt that a beast targeted him, and then without hesitation, he unleashed his Wave Cloak and made his aura explode.

The dark-purple Astral Wave drew the attention of everybody, but Cain could not care less as he turned around and adopted a battle stance. He did not know what happened but felt incredible danger.

However, the danger vanished the next second, leaving Cain extremely confused. He looked at the surroundings but did not find anything. In the end, he just shrugged his shoulders and walked into the Space Cruiser.

“Good, very good. That brat did not hesitate before unleashing everything the moment danger arrived. I can not say much about his power or martial skills, but when it comes to perception, he doesn’t fall behind a Second Lieutenant.” Josef smiled and nodded, something the other soldiers did as well.

While talent and martial skills were crucial, you could quickly die on a battlefield if your perception was weak.

Cain had no idea of the soldiers’ discussion and found a place to sit in the Star Cruiser. He was about to resume his training when he noticed something and focused on the cruiser’s entrance.

A youth with a body equally imposing that of Cain entered the Star Cruiser. He was very handsome, with black hair and fiery red eyes.

Unlike everybody else in the cruiser, the youth wore expensive clothes, and there was a majestic red ring on his right hand. He ignored the gazes of everybody and sat down before closing his eyes.

Cain’s interest in the youth grew as he noticed how this one began to draw massive amounts of Life Wave. After some consideration, he decided to use one of the [A.I. Chip Module] tools.

‘System, use [Pseudo Cellular Analysis] on that man.’

[Pseudo Cellular Analysis] was the tool Cain used to make a scan of himself, and he could also use it on others. Of course, there were several restrictions if employed that way.

An electromagnetic force emerged from Cain and reached the red-eyed youth. It did not take long for a virtual screen to appear before him.

[Scan of target completed.
