The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 685: Back to the Zafiro Sector (II)

Although they could see it with their own eyes, it still shocked the group that such a majestic and gory tribulation was Cainʼs Bone Calamity.

Over half of those present followed the Astral Rebirth Path of Power, and they very clearly remembered the Bone Calamity and how every bone in their bodies shattered to pieces. It was an excruciating pain, but no one faced anything even remotely similar to what the Scarlet King was going through.

There was no doubt in their minds that the pain Cain faced was much worse than the ones they experienced.

”Clearly, the Bone Calamity of the Scarlet King is of a much higher level than the one we faced, and the explanation is simple: his foundation allowed him to awaken a much more powerful response from the world force and the Astral Rebirth Laws.”

The great generals nodded as it made sense. The stronger your foundation, the more powerful your Calamities and Tribulations would become, and no one had a mightier and more robust foundation than the Scarlet King.

”The Scarlet King is a great general and a fearless warrior who would not hesitate to face even Dark Kings, but his cultivation must take focus.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke paused at this point, his eyes growing sharp as he continued.

”The Scarlet King is the greatest genius of all Aether, capable of the impossible, achieving dual cultivation beyond the Apotheosis Realm. I dare say that securing the Scarlet Kingʼs cultivation would be worth losing the war for the north of Gaia.”

Silence reigned the next second, and the eyes of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, Angar, and the great generals widened as the Collapsing Lightning Duke stated that the cultivation of one person was worth more than twenty Sectors and hundreds of billions of lives.

However, as the Godslayer Humankind Divine Ascension Masters contemplated those words, they slowly began to nod as they saw the reasoning behind them. By all measures, Cain was a monster capable of facing Gods without a problem and exchanging blows with True Titans, yet he was just at the first stages of the Apotheosis Realm.

If the Scarlet King became an Astral-Essence Divine Ascension Master, his battle power would reach a level none could even dream of, perhaps capable of killing True Gods with a single blow.

With that power, the Scarlet King could go through any battlefield and secure the victory of the Godslayer Humankind, to the point he could guide them into Atlas, a feat that only the First Titan was able to achieve.

Although the Scarlet King would eventually have to leave Aether after his cultivation base surpassed the Peak Divine Ascension, there would be decades or even hundreds of years before that. All their enemies would have been scorched under his flames by that point.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, Angar, and the great generals remained silent after that, and no one even suggested that Cain would march with them during the next phase.

There was now a new sense of purpose and ambition in their eyes. They were fighting by the side of a legendary figure and were ready to engrave their names in history as well, so they would use everything they had during their next fights, pushing themselves beyond their limits.

They were ready to push forward with their own power and wait for that young monster with great news in the core of the Zafiro Sector.

A sharp light appeared in the Collapsing Lightning Duke as he saw the fierce light in the eyes of the great generals, and a smile appeared on his face. He chose to tell them about Cainʼs Bone Calamity to keep the young manʼs reputation spotless, and it raised morale even higher.

”Bloodless #1 and Sector Duke Holan, you two will remain in this place along with Generals Jessica, Ganes, Kurt, Pilon, and Foster. I doubt someone could go past us and attack this place, but we cannot leave the Scarlet King unprotected. No matter what, you must ensure his safety, even if everything else fails.”

Elijah and Holan nodded, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces as they understood the severity and immense responsibility placed on their shoulders. Both of them had obtained Cainʼs favor in the last months, with the 20 Revolution Refinement allowing their cultivation to be on the brink of the next step.

However, even if the young man had not increased their destiny with the power of Tribulation Enhancement, they would still be eternally grateful. After all, it was Cain who saved the Blood Sea and whose actions allowed the return of the Golden Core Sector to human hands.

As for the other generals, they were the Middle and Early Divine Ascension Masters that Cain woke up from their coma. The group was still healing, so keeping them here as an extra layer of safety while allowing them to recover was killing two birds with one stone.

”The Scarlet King has handed over control of the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation to me, and we will take it to the Zafiro Sector. Each of these black pyramids is extremely valuable, so you should all remember that their safety is paramount.”

The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs eyes were sharp as he ensured everybody engraved those words before carrying on.

”Are there any more questions?”

Seeing that everybody was full of resolution and free of doubts, the Collapsing Lightning Duke nodded and sent the command to march.

In less than an hour, the Collapsing Lightning Duke, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, the Patriarch of the Aegon Clan, and the great generals led millions of soldiers out of the fortress and into massive Star Cruisers.

Although the absence of the Scarlet King was noticed, the soldiers were told that the man was on a critical mission to improve the might of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance. That, plus the absolute resolution and determination in the eyes of the great generals, was all the soldiers needed to be ready to march with all they had into the battlefield.
