The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 661: Beelzeʼs true identity

”Before all of you go, I need to make a petition. I need treasures of the wind, water, earth, and fire elements. As for the reason, I cannot disclose it.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar waited until the mood of the great general was at its peak before making that request. Even if he was the War Master and could lead these people onto the battlefield, that did not mean he could simply demand their wealth.

When the great generals heard that, they all began to look at each other. Although handing over personal wealth was not very pleasing, they could understand it when it came to matters of war, yet the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar did not disclose the reason.

Once again, the great generals focused on the Sector Duke of the Golden Core Sector, and the old man stared at the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar for a moment.

”Just what level the treasures need to be?”

Before saying yes or no, Holan wanted to know what type of treasures they would be handing over.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar did not answer the question and instead turned toward Cain.

”Mmm, the higher the level, the better, but I can exchange quality for quantity as long as the latter is high enough.”

The great generals looked at each other, and after some silent communication, they all nodded and began to deposit treasures into a space ring. It did not take long for the dimension inside the ring to carry metric tons of treasures of the four elements. Most were meant for Wave Champions or Wave Kings, while others were useful for Apotheosis Masters.

The great generals had accumulated these treasures through their journeys but had grown too powerful for them. Of course, that did not mean they were not valuable, as they could be given to their disciples or family.

”Will this be enough?”

Holan took the space ring and extended it for Cainʼs Ego Wave to analyze it.

”Yes, I can work with it. Thanks.”

Cain nodded and made the space ring float to his hand.

”If there is nothing else, we will leave and prepare for the Tribulation Enhancement.”

”Feel free to leave.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar nodded to Holan, and the next second, all the great generals left the room, leaving the trio alone. Only then was the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar able to relax and fall onto the throne.

While he seemed relaxed, every word and action of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was part of a scheme.

Angar only smiled as he saw the exhausted expression on the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, making it clear that the man was not good with this type of play, and then he turned toward Cain, who was gazing at the space ring as if nothing had happened.

”I think it went well.”

”The seed is already planted. We only need to carry on the next part flawlessly, and rumors will spread, reaching the Void King in no time.”

Cain took his eyes from the space ring and turned toward Angar, who was looking at him with a meaningful expression. His eyes narrowed, and he turned to the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.

”Please, leave us.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was a little surprised by that request, and as he looked at the duo, he could see a powerful intent in their eyes. He nodded, and without a word, he left the room.

Cain stared at Angar for a moment and waved his hand, making a black metallic coffin appear.

An expression of sadness that bore from the bottom of his soul appeared in the eyes of the Patriarch of the Aegon Clan as he kneeled next to the coffin and gently opened it, revealing a beautiful young woman with white hair inside.

The effect of the coffin had halted Beelzeʼs corpse deterioration, making it seem as if she was simply dreaming.

Angarʼs eyes began to shed tears as the pain in his heart reached its zenith, and he gently caressed Beelzeʼs face.

Cain was about to leave the room to leave the man alone when he heard him speak.

”Even though she was not really my daughter, the pain I feel seeing her like this is as if someone had ripped my arm.”

Angar uttered those words before closing the coffin and saw Cain looking at him with an inquisitive gaze.

Cain was indeed curious about the manʼs words. He had interacted long enough with Beelze to remember her aura and bloodline, which were exactly the same as Angarʼs.

Angar showed a sad smile as he saw Cainʼs confusion, and luckily for the young man, he did not intend to keep him in suspense.

”Her body originated from my seed and grew in her motherʼs womb, but her soul belonged to none of us. You are the first person I have ever told this to.”

Cainʼs eyes widened as he heard that. According to what Angar was telling him, Beelzeʼs soul did not belong to him or the mother that birthed her, meaning she was most likely like him, a soul that managed to find its way to an empty vessel!

Cain could not help but frown as all sorts of complicated thoughts appeared in his mind, and as he focused on the man in front of him, a question emerged.

”Why would you care for her so much if you knew?”

Cain could not understand why Angar would feel so much pain for Beelze. After all, she was someone who emerged out of nowhere, essentially hijacking the identity of his daughter. In his mind, the man should feel enraged that an alien entity attempted to trick him in such a manner.

When Angar saw the expression on Cainʼs face, he just smiled and shook his head.

”Ah, you really are different. I bet that even if the entire Godslayer Humankind Empire had collapsed, as long as the people you love were fine, you wouldnʼt have cared.”
