The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 852 50% the speed of light

The news that the Bridge of Hope was activated spread like wildfire among the Godslayer Humankind and Inferno Daemon camps, making their already rising spirits burn even more intensely.

The Bridge of Hopeʼs West Portal allowed them to contact the Atrox Immortus Race and Deus Behemoth Race, which added two powerful armies with millions of Wave Kings and Apotheosis Masters, thousands of Divine Ascension Masters, and hundreds of Titans and Gods.

Such a massive force could mean that they would finally break the stalemate and take a step not just to limit the impact of the Dark Fog but also to fight back against Dark Sky.

Silence reigned the next day as Cain vanished, and no one dared to get near the Bridge of Hope since it was a heavily restricted area. Many wondered when the gates would be used and what the next move of the Scarlet King would be, and among them was Prime Minister Razputin.

The old man from the Nether Clan was also very excited about the Bridge of Hope, but unlike all the others who only worried about when it would come into use, he had to think about what would happen when he reached Kronos. There were treaties that would oblige the Atrox Immortus Empire to assist them in the war against Dark Sky.

Still, things were never so simple, especially on a battlefield where they were fighting side by side with members of the Godslayer Humankind.

ʼLuckily, I have the Ouroboros System as a trump card to play with them. Most of the Atrox Immortus Empire members care deeply about honor, so I can use that and their greed to my advantage. As for those who would try to create problems with my cause, I will play with their fears.ʼ

Prime Minister Razputin was a pessimist, always expecting the worst scenario, which was why he was also so well-prepared. As the man was going over the details of his plans, his eyes narrowed as he gazed into the sky and saw that the Scarlet King had arrived and he was not alone.

Next to the Scarlet King was a figure with majestic cosmic armor whose body seemed to radiate an extremely powerful vital force and a gravitational might capable of shattering reality.

Of course, the one accompanying the Scarlet King was none other than the Collapsing Lightning Emperor. The man bowed to the Scarlet King before flashing to the battlefield, and the first attack he released was a gravitational wave that destroyed thousands of drones from the Insect Army.

Awe and smiles appeared on the faces of all the Godslayer Humankind soldiers who watched that attack as the power that the Collapsing Lightning Emperor displayed did not fall short of the strength Zero Mint could unleash with his weapon.

Zero Mintʼs eyes narrowed as he saw that attack, and his entire body radiated fighting spirit as he continued attacking with his swords, unleashing more powerful attacks. The Collapsing Lightning Emperor responded in the same fashion, unleashing gravitational pulses that shattered all.

The clash between the two figures exploded the fighting spirit in both camps, allowing them to push themselves even harder.

As Cain gazed at the Godslayer Humankind camp and Inferno Daemon camp, all fighting with a single goal, challenging each other yet not revealing any animosity, a strange sensation appeared in his heart and mind, and he began to smile.

However, it did not last long as the aloof and calm expression proper of a Master of Order soon returned to Cainʼs face. He glanced around the zone, and soon, his eyes focused on Prime Minister Razputin and the Dark Emperor.

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin immediately nodded as they saw Cainʼs gaze and flashed toward him. Both were needed if they wanted the Atrox Immortus Race to take them seriously. Otherwise, endless charades and delays could begin, and no one wanted that.

Once the duo was next to him, Cain covered all three with his power and teleported back to Infinite Horizon, appearing right above the Bridge of Hope. A powerful force field covered the zone, one so strong that even True Titans and True Gods would find it hard to breach.

Even if Cain had not detected any form of rebellion or betrayal, he would not be careless. After all, what kind of joke would it be if he left through the West Portal to go for reinforcements only to remain stuck in the Hyperion Continent?

Cain waved his hand, generating a small gap in the force field that immediately closed once he and the duo from the Inferno Daemon Race went through.

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were filled with utter and absolute awe as they gazed at the West Portal. Seeing it up close was completely different, and its majesty could not be described in words.

Prime Minister Razputin followed the Essence Evolution Path of Power. While his mastery over the Laws was nothing impressive, he could still feel how the fundamental principles and forces that governed this place seemed to be one level above those in the rest of Aether.

Cain allowed the duo to gaze at the portal briefly before speaking, guiding them on what would happen next.

”Once we go through the West Portal, our bodies will move forward at roughly 50% of the speed of light.”

As soon as they heard those words, all the awe in the Dark Emperor and Prime Ministerʼs hearts was replaced by dread. Moving at 50% of the speed of light would mean they would travel at roughly 150,000 kilometers per second. Moving at such speed could push all the blood to their heads, and that was if their bodies did not shatter first.

”There is no need to fear. We will be inside a space-time nullity bubble. It would be as if the world was moving around us instead of us around the world. Even for me, itʼs hard to explain, but if you remain inside the bubble and do not forcibly try to exit it, you will be fine.”

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were still a little nervous, but they could not back down now, so they clasped their hands and bowed to the Scarlet King, indicating their readiness.

Cain nodded, and then the trio reached the West Gate, stepping into it and vanishing from Infinite Horizon.
