The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 875 Danger in Kronos

Less than five minutes after receiving clearance from the Atrox Immortus Emperor, Cain was already back in the sky above the God Tower, his right hand holding the throat of a massive Atrox nearly three meters tall.

Pestilence attempted to fight back and break free of Cainʼs grip, but there was nothing a mere God could do other than struggle. The man even tried to use his computer ring to ask for help, but he realized in horror that no one was receiving his calls.

”No one will help a Tier 0 Dark Factionʼs Leader.”

Pure terror appeared in Pestilenceʼs eyes as he realized that his secret identity had been revealed, but it did not last long. The next second, Cainʼs eyes glowed with red light, generating a clash of willpower with the God.

Pestilenceʼs entire body trembled for a second before his eyes lost their light as he fell into a state of utter compulsion and could not control anything he did or thought.

”Give me all your knowledge about the underworld, especially anything you might know about Blood Path.”

As he uttered those words, Cainʼs eyes flashed with endless killing intent. Although Silent World failed to protect Dark Hand, Blood Path killed Ghoul, Blue Hawk, and Janiro.

Pestilence could not oppose any resistance and began to share all he knew. Luckily for Cain, the man was extremely paranoid, worried that the other Dark Factions might attack him, so he gathered a lot of information about them.

A cold smile appeared on Cainʼs face as the information Pestilence handed over, plus the one he already gathered, would be enough to catch almost all of Blood Pathʼs upper echelon and anyone related to it.

The Collapsing Space-Time Eye glowed as threads of energy invaded Pestilenceʼs mind and body, sealing him completely before Cain threw the God into the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer.

Before going after Blood Path, Cain retraced his steps and captured the upper echelon of Godʼs Doom. Now that he had caught Pestilence, there was no reason to leave them free.

Since Cain already knew their location and no one had moved due to his compulsion, he finished in less than a day, and it was finally time to go after Blood Path.

Cain went from one Sector to another, capturing members of the upper echelon of Blood Path, but this time, he was much more brutal as he also tracked all the Tier 1 Dark Factionsʼs Leaders connected to Blood Path. He would annihilate anyone related to the attacks on Dark Hand.

Of course, Cain did not go on a rampage, as that would have alerted the rest of Blood Path. While he had the location of the upper echelon, he had no idea where the Blood God was. So he just tracked down the people, obtained the knowledge in their minds, and marked them before going to the next one.

It took Cain a week to hypnotize and mark every member of Blood Pathʼs upper echelon and all the Tier 1 Dark Factions related to them. However, he could not help but frown as he realized that not even the Divine Ascension Master of Blood Hand knew where Blood God was, and that was not all since they did not have a way to communicate with the man.

It is not uncommon for the leader of a Tier 0 Dark Faction to conceal their identities and whereabouts. However, the situation becomes strange when no one can be contacted. A clear channel is essential for the smooth functioning of the Dark Faction, and its absence could potentially lead to its downfall.

Around six years ago, around the time that Cain reached Kronos for the first time, all contact with Blood God ceased. The man just left a cryptic message stating that they needed to remain strong and that he would come back stronger than ever.

Cain had much more important things to worry about than a Tier 0 Dark Factionʼs Leader going missing, but he could not help but feel this was important.

”Apex, help me with this. Letʼs go through all the information we obtained from the underworld and the one from the Atrox Immortus Empireʼs networks. We need to track down the Blood God.”

”Fine, letʼs do it.”

The golden humanoid in the deepest corner of Cainʼs soul sea nodded, and the duo carried on, using the [A.I. Chip Module]ʼs abilities and their own perspicacity to track down the whereabouts of the Blood God.

As they reviewed the information, Cain visited several locations where Blood God had been seen, gathering more information about the Tier 0 Dark Factionʼs Leader until he finally found a lead in the Crystal Sector.

That was the more northern Sector of the Atrox Immortus Empire. Like most coastal Sectors, it had been ravaged by the hordes of Oceanic Wave Beasts but was already in reconstruction.

Cain stood in the sky of the Crystal Sector for a moment before diving into the shore of the Endless Ocean. Even though billions of Wave Beasts had marched into the landmass and butchered under the Atrox Immortus Empireʼs blades, countless were still living inside the water, making any travel perilous for most warriors.

Of course, Cain did not have that problem and could easily hide his aura from the Wave Beasts. After diving nearly ten thousand kilometers where the water pressure could crush even Divine Ascension Master, he saw an underwater cave that seemed to lead to the underground of the Atrox Immortus Empire.

There were all sorts of natural constructions like that on a continent, and they should not be important. Still, Cainʼs eyes narrowed, and a solemn expression appeared as he focused on the underwater cave and felt his instincts warning him of danger.

Lately, due to his immense power, nothing in Aether could make him feel in danger other than Dark Sky. Yet, this seemingly plain underwater cave triggered a response of his instincts.

Cain clenched his fists and ensured his energy was ready to explode before swimming to the cave.
