The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 788: Devouring willpowers (I)

However, the central tower, the one that had a colossal beating heart at its peak, was the one Cain could use. That was the Tower of Concepts, with the Emperor Heart at its peak, and where he could face the Ego Wave of ancient Gods vanquished by the First Titan.

Cain did not hesitate before flashing into the Tower of Concepts. He placed his hand on it and vanished the next moment.

As he opened his eyes again, Cain was shocked to find himself in a starry void. And that was far from all, as he had transformed into a dark yin-yang red sun with his humanoid body at the core.

The first time Cain entered one of the Three Towers of Adam, he was too weak to realize what was happening. Now, he understood that he had fused with the Tower of Concepts, and his existence had transformed into his Alter-Ego, the Sun Seed.

”A HUMAN DOESNʼT NEED HIS BODY TO DESTROY THE DIVINE. USE YOUR WILL TO KILL THE GODS!”

A solemn voice full of might echoed across the dimension. It was incredibly majestic but couldnʼt affect Cain, a Master of Order. Besides, despite the grandeur of that voice, it couldnʼt compare with the one that came from the Samsara Flame.

Cain wasted no time on useless thoughts as he saw a massive golden force field appear. He immediately knew it was another willpower, an Ego Wave sealed in this place, full of rage and hatred.

The golden force field, lacking a face or emitting any sound, unleashed immense killing intent as it focused on Cain and surged toward him, immediately surrounding the Sun Seed.

Cain chose not to attack, instead focusing on defending himself. The golden force field attempted to constrict the Sun Seed, unleashing sharp intent. However, it caused no damage other than a slight annoyance and minor pain.

ʼIt must be the Ego Wave of a Peak Apotheosis Realm Master. At most, it reached the Peak of the Second Realm, and calling it the Ego Wave of a God is a wide exaggeration.ʼ

Myths and legends often have some grandeur around them, and it was clear that the Three Towers of Adam were no exception.

Although Cainʼs Ego Wave was also at the Second Realm, his willpower was much more potent as he continuously tempered it, and his soul force had already reached the Divine Ascension Rank. Flames emerged from the Sun Seed with a single intent, incinerating the golden force field.

Of course, the golden field was not truly destroyed, and Cain was sure it would be reconstructed by the power of the Tower of Concepts to be useful for those who used it in the future.

Shortly after Cain destroyed the golden force field, a gray one emerged in the dimension, unleashing an even more powerful aura. It immediately surrounded the Sun Seed, and this time, Cain did not feel sharpness but an immense weight being placed on him.

Even now, the Sun Seed could still quickly destroy the gray force field, but Cain chose not to do so. The goal of this place is to face other Ego Waves, but the fact that he must do it in the form of his Alter-Ego should have a meaning.

”Instead of simply overwhelming it with brute force, I should try fighting using my Empyrean Sun Visualization Technique and Concepts.”

The Sun Seed began to glow for a second before unleashing a barrage of flaming arcs of energy. They consumed much less energy than the previous blast of flame he unleashed, yet their power was much greater since he had infused them with the power of the Sundering Concept.

A third black force field appeared one minute after the Sun Seed destroyed the gray one, and just like the others, it surrounded the Sun Seed. This willpower unleashed a different intent than the others, and instead of trying to crush the Sun Seed, it seemed to want to devour it.

Cain could see how small streams of fire were being taken out of the Sun Seed by the black willpower.

”Oh, so you want to eat me. Letʼs see if you like it.”

As soon as Cain uttered those words, immense power emerged from the Sun Seed, manifesting as an overwhelming gravitational force capable of affecting the immaterial. It immediately stopped the streams of fire from leaving the Sun Seed, and the next second, it began to consume the black willpower.

By far, Cain had the most mastery over the Gluttony Concept. Even if his Alter-Ego was not inclined to the power or intent of gluttony, the [Gluttony Module] gave him access to a treasure that could work as a guide.

The black willpower froze for a moment as it realized it was being devoured. Unlike its slow devouring process, the Sun Seed consumed whole chunks of it at a breathtaking speed.

Cain only smiled as he saw how the Sun Seed could consume all the black willpower in a matter of seconds. Suddenly, shock and awe appeared in his eyes as he felt how that immense amount of power began to course through his Alter-Ego.

ʼWhat would happen if I truly assimilated the willpower of another?ʼ

Cain had devoured the soul force of other life forms and used the Gluttony Eye to consume their ego and souls to obtain their memories, but this was different. If he consumed the willpower of others in this form, he might have found a way to improve the power of his Ego Wave without the need to evolve to the Third Realm.

However, before Cain could finish that thought, he felt the power of the Tower of Concepts was trying to take back the black willpower. It made sense that it wanted it since if Cain consumed it, it would lose it.

Determination appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he began to push the Gluttony Concept to the limit, trying to assimilate as much of the black willpower as possible before the Tower of Concepts could take it back.
