The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 844 The Scarlet King is manipulating us?

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!”

Just as those pessimistic thoughts were about to overcome the soldiers of the Inferno Daemon Race, a massive explosion of flames echoed in the distance, drawing the attention of everybody.

Zero Mint had just unleashed a devastating attack from inside the Dark Fog. That was very dangerous, as the Humanoids of Dark Sky could appear anytime. However, it allowed him to release an extremely powerful attack without worrying about collateral damage.

Of course, Zero did not remain in the Dark Fog, emerging the next second and gazing at the Inferno Daemons before shouting with all his strength.

”What the hell are you waiting for? Letʼs fight and take all the rewards for our kind. You all fear the system might be rigged against us, but look at the scoreboard.”

Zero Mintʼs eyes were full of anger and annoyance seeing the terrified and stubborn attitude of the Inferno Daemon, and it seemed he would begin to attack them if they continued like that.

Of course, Zero Mintʼs identity was taken by the Collapsing Lightning Emperor, and his personality was clearly not so antisocial, but he had to play the role he was given.

The Inferno Daemonsʼ eyes immediately glowed as they heard that and opened their Ouroboros System, looking at the scoreboard where the names of every warrior fighting against Dark Sky appeared.

A second ago, the one at the top was the Diamond Saint Duke, but now he had just been replaced by Zero Mint!

Since everyone could see everyone elseʼs Ouroboros Points, it was impossible to cheat or incline the balance in one direction without people noticing. The soldiers began to think that maybe things were indeed real and they could benefit from this system just like humans.

”Warriors of the Inferno Daemon Empire. Hear my words!”

A new powerful voice echoed across the sky. Although it was not as strong as Zero Mintʼs, it was undoubtedly more majestic and belonged to no other than the Dark Emperor.

”If thereʼs one thing we can be certain of in this world, itʼs that the Scarlet King will keep his word. That man sees himself above everybody and would disdain to play tricks with people so weak as us. I assure you, if you get the points, you can obtain the rewards!”

Light began to glow in the eyes of the Inferno Daemons as they saw the image of their powerful Dark Emperor in the sky, showing immense power after having healed from his wounds.

”Now, letʼs fight! We must take the first spot on the scoreboard of the Ouroboros System and prove the might of the Inferno Daemon Race!”

”YES!” ”LETʼS FIGHT!” ”FOR THE FIRST SPOT!”

The Inferno Daemons, who were on the brink of despair a second ago, began to roar with a sense of purpose for the first time in months, and their hearts burned with battle spirit as they flashed into the border of the Dark Fog, fighting with all they had.

The Dark Emperor could not help but clench his fists as he saw the sense of meaning and will in the eyes of his soldiers.

”That young man is the most dangerous entity I have seen in my entire life. He just implemented a system that plays on the greed of the soldiers and, at the same time, infuses them with purpose. And that scoreboard, what an ingenious way to transform our hatred between the Godslayer Humankind and Inferno Daemon into a game of simple and pure competition.”

Suddenly, a voice startled the Dark Emperor, and he looked to the side only to see the old Prime Minister Razputin.

The old man saw the thrill and determination on the Inferno Daemons as they charged into the battlefield like hungry beasts. A small smile appeared, but he immediately shook his head, returning to his stoic and somber expression.

”The Scarlet King is manipulating us?”

Prime Minister Razputin turned to the Dark Emperor, who was still confused, and answer the question.

”Of course, he is manipulating us, but he is doing it so blatantly and upfront that there is nothing we can complain about. He is giving us all we could ask for and bringing a sense of stability and hope to the hearts of the people who should hate him.

That man will continue empowering and protecting us, becoming the beacon and spiritual leader we unconsciously rely on, to the point that it will come the day our people would rather die than betray him or even stand against him.

In a few months, how many Inferno Daemon soldiers would begin to see him as the true leader and master of this war? How many civilians would worship him since, in their hearts, the Scarlet King is the shield that keeps the monsters at bay.”

The shock in the eyes of the Dark Emperor only rose as he heard that analysis, and suddenly, a flash of dread appeared in his eyes as he glanced at the computer ring on Prime Minister Razputinʼs finger. All computer rings constantly sent information to the Scarlet King, so he might be listening to their conversation.

Prime Minister Razputin saw the dread in the eyes of the Dark Emperor and shook his head.

”There is no way we could hide our thoughts from that person, and I am sure he will be happy to see someone so rational in our race. Besides, if he saves us from extinction, I would gladly kiss his feet and take him as a leader.”

”A human as the leader of the Inferno Daemon Race!?”

The Dark Emperor could not help but shout in shock at that notion since it was something that should be impossible.

”So what if he is a human? Are we not fighting alongside humans? Not to mention that he might be a human, but his children do not necessarily have to be one, do they?”

Prime Minister Razputinʼs voice had a special meaning as he uttered those last words, and he glanced at the computer ring with a strange smile.
