The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 653: Discussing the battlefield

”First of all, was anyone able to assess the condition of the Undying King before this one escaped the battlefield?”

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs face was solemn as he uttered those words. The unexpected appearance of the Undying King led to him nearly dying under the attack of the Void King. He remembered how his punch managed to pulverize the chest of the Dark King and was sure he destroyed the heart.

That should have been enough to ensure someoneʼs death, but there was a reason why that man called himself Undying.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar looked at each other before shaking their heads. Although they saw how the Undying King was sent flying away, they were too embroiled in their fights to divide their attention.

Neither of the True Titans expected an answer from Cain since the young man arrived several minutes after the events involving the Undying King, yet he spoke.

”Although I do not know the state of the Undying King, I assure you that unless you shattered his soul, in less than three weeks, the man will be back on the battlefield.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke, First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and the Patriarch of the Aegon Family were shocked by such an assessment, and just as they were about to ask Cain how he was so sure, they saw a file reaching their A.I. Chips.

As the trio looked into the files, their eyes widened. There was a compendium with the names of the Ten Dark Kings, including skills, abilities, battle power, and known feats.

”That is all the information I have. It comes from the memories of the Soul King.”

A new wave assaulted them before the True Titans could recover from the shock of the compendium. The trio already knew that Cain managed to obtain information from the memories of the Soul Kingʼs incarnation in the Hyperion Continent. Still, for him to prepare such a file, his mastery over soul reading might be at the highest level of Aether.

Cain noticed the trioʼs look but did not distract himself and carried on.

”The Undying King might not be the strongest, and his spells might not be all that impressive, but when it comes to survival skill, he is the best of the Ten Dark Kings, so unless you felt your punch destroy his soul, he will soon return to the battlefield.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke frowned as he heard that since, after reading the compendium, there was no doubt in his mind Cain was right. More than once, the Undying King had taken wounds that should have been lethal to anyone else, yet he returned in a few weeks as if it were nothing.

Unfortunately, while the memories of the Soul King hypothesized the possible secret behind the Undying Kingʼs incredible survival abilities, there was nothing sure.

”If that is the case, then we must assume he will likely appear in the next battle.”

The frown on the Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs face grew deeper as he analyzed the next step. Cainʼs arrival had granted them a very powerful addition to their troops. Still, the young man was only an extremely powerful Titan and had yet to be able to deploy battle power above the Divine Ascension Realm for an extended period of time.

Since that was the case, they would be in a tight spot in the next battle as they would be down one True Titan.

”Mmm, can you guide me through the function of the metallic pyramids?”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke learned about the power of the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation from the retelling of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar. He knew it was potent and could be of great use, but he was sure something so massive must have drawbacks.

”The 81 black pyramids are one of the greatest war treasures of the Deus Behemoth Race. With them, we can trigger the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation and generate an invisible force field within a radius of over 2000 kilometers.

It can completely incapacitate Wave Warriors and Wave Champions and suppress Wave Kings to the point they can barely use 20% of their strength and lose the ability to fight. As for Apotheosis Masters, they can only use 50% of their strength. Divine Ascension Masters can retain between 20% to 25% of their strength under the effect of the formation.

Unfortunately, when it comes to targets, the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation can only affect Dark Races. It was designed that way since it would be too much for the formation to analyze one person at a time.

Another drawback is that every metallic tower uses one supreme wave crystal for each hour the formation is active.”

The trio showed complicated expressions as they heard the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation details. Its power was extraordinary, and it made sense that it could only target members of the Dark Races, as trying to keep focus on every soldier inside a massive battlefield was impossible.

The problem lay in the resources it consumed. Every hour the formation was active, it would drain 81 supreme wave crystals. That was the same as consuming 81 pieces of Adamantine Wave Artifact an hour.

”How long can we keep the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation active with the fuel already deposited?”

”10 hours.”

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs eyes widened as he turned to Cain with surprise upon hearing that answer, and he was not alone since the other two True Titans were also stunned.

It was obvious that the Deus Behemoth Emperor had lent the formation to Cain. That was already impressive, proving that Cainʼs status in the Deus Behemoth Empire was not simple, but that was, in the end, a loan.

However, the fact that the metallic pyramids had a charge for ten hours meant that the Emperor gave Cain 810 supreme wave crystals. That was more wealth than the entire Collapsing Lightning Sector could produce in ten years!
