The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 392 Embracing Order (III)

If Cain wanted to survive, he had to be fast, or everything would be lost. The danger he faced right now was even greater than when the High Blood Elder aimed to take his life.

Apex couldnʼt help but narrow his eyes as he realized the focus and calm that Cain projected, even as his life was on the line. Even for someone like the System Spirit, the effect of the Path of Order on a life form was transcendental.

However, the golden humanoid understood the severity of the situation and immediately offered a reply to Cain. He had also noticed the oddness of the situation since, despite the distance to the Silver City, hundreds of explosions with the power of H-Bombs should not go unnoticed.

”I have surveyed the surroundings and transmissions using the [Scan Force Field], and I can only assume we are inside some concealment force field. It must be capable of covering the Azure State and the Cicada Forest around it, projecting an illusion to the outside world that everything is fine.

If my conjecture is right, its name should be Black Box, which the Blood King commanded the Azure King to reinforce.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he heard those words, but he did not lose focus on the battle. He dodged one of the blows from the Blood King before striking with his left elbowʼs bone spike, piercing it into the enemyʼs shoulder, just to send a headbutt the next second.

The Blood Kingʼs eyes trembled as the head strike made the pain in his mind even greater, sending him crashing into the ground.

Cain immediately flashed toward the Blood King, increasing the momentum of his body as his right knee aimed forward, intending to impale the blood humanoid dragon with the bone spike in it. At the same time, he carried on with his conversation with Apex.

”That concealment force field. It must be the reason there were no Apotheosis Realm Masters in the Azure Castle.” Cainʼs train of thought paused for an instant as a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes.

”I was the target of the Black Box.”

There was no way that over a dozen Apotheosis Realm Masters would have been ready to perform that formation spell at all times, so they should have arranged it not too long before Cainʼs arrival. They knew he would come and had the spell in place to silently kill him, making sure no one on the outside would find out or could come to save him.

Cainʼs mind immediately made a list of the people who could have been part of the scheme, but he pushed those thoughts away for the moment since he had bigger fish to fry.

”BOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!”

A resounding explosion made the Cicada Forest tremble as Cainʼs knee landed on the ground, but the Blood King managed to move at the last second, sending a kick that sent him flying away, breaking the ground in his path.

Cain immediately regained control over his body as his eyes focused on the Blood King and flashed forward.

”BOOM!” ”BOOM!” ”BOOM!” ”BOOM!”

Dozens of explosions occurred as Cain and the Blood King exchanged blows, triggering massive earthquakes and shattering space around them.

”Apex, what are my chances of breaking out of the Black Box?”

Cain had already spread his Ego Wave in all directions. In its current state, Cainʼs Ego Wave could extend over 30,000 kilometers, which would have been enough to cover over 70% of the Old Worldʼs circumference and more than enough to reach the Silver City located to the north.

However, no matter how much Cain pushed his Ego Wave forward, it only detected the forest. So, he hoped that the [Scan Force Field] could perceive something else.

”Your transformation did not enhance the [A.I. Chip Module]; even now, it can only detect a slight disturbance in electromagnetic fields. A formation of this level is not something you can simply escape by moving in a straight line since it must also be folding space around us.”

Apexʼs words made Cain frown since that meant asking for help was not an option, and neither was escaping. He saw the damage on the Blood King, but he knew that the one who would break first was him. Right now, he already felt the weakening of his power and had to make a decision.

”I guess I only have one path left.”

As he flashed forward, Cainʼs eyes glowed with resolution, meeting the Blood Kingʼs punch with his own.

It was not the first time that the Blood Kingʼs fist had clashed with one of Cainʼs, but a sense of shock assaulted him as, instead of an overwhelming force, he saw how most of Cainʼs Astral Wave muscles spread toward him.

Before the Blood King could react, the Astral Wave muscles had already encompassed his entire body, trapping him inside a dark purple sphere.

Cain had lost nearly all his Astral Waveʼs muscles, but his eyes only glowed with resolution as he sent the sphere into the sky before spreading his Ego Wave into the surroundings.

”¡AHHHHHHH!”

Along with that roar, Cainʼs willpower raised hundreds of mountains from the ground before sending them toward the dark purple sphere in the sky. It only took him five seconds to form what could only be described as an artificial moon!

”RUMBLE!!!”

Despite the majesty of the structure, it took less than one second for it to start trembling as cracks formed all over it and bursts of blood energy emerged. Clearly, the Blood King would not just let Cain trap him.

Cain had used most of the power he had left, forming that cage, and in his current condition, he would have a hard time facing the Azure King, much less a Dark King of The Organization. He knew the artificial moon would not hold the Blood King long, but he only needed a little time.

Immediately after sealing the Blood King, Cain turned toward the Azure State and flashed to this one at full speed. He could no longer break space and forcefully teleport, but it did not matter as the distance to the Azure State was short.

It took but a second for Cain to reach the Azure State and even less for him to appear above the Azure Castle. He immediately located the secret dimension that held the clandestine prison of the Azure Royal Family, and the resolution of his eyes grew stronger.
