The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 887 90%

Cain, Ishmael, the Ten Swords, the Dark Emperor, and Prime Minister Razputin were currently in the throne room of the Atrox Immortus Imperial Castle.

Usually, when receiving people, the Atrox Immortus Emperor would sit on his majestic throne, but Ishmael did not dare to do so in front of the Scarlet King. It was not just that the man was mighty beyond their understanding, but he had also done extraordinary deeds in the name of the Atrox Immortus Empire.

Without anything requesting it, the Scarlet King alone obliterated the Tier 0 Dark Factions and killed all the leaders of the Tier 1, essentially crippling the underworld. That feat was enough to crown him the Hero of the Atrox Immortus Race had he not been a human.

And that was not all the Scarlet King did. He also halted the plans of an Alien Race that had already established a foothold in the Kronos Continent, having developed a massive underwater city. Of course, although a lot of evidence proved the validity of the video Cain shared, some of the Atroxs were still doubtful. But they did not dare to question the man out of fear of his power.

Cain could see the doubts in some of the Ten Swords, and while he could simply suppress all dissent with his strength, that would not handle the problem; it would only push it to a later time when it could become even more complicated.

ʼSeeing is believing.ʼ A sharp light appeared in Cainʼs eyes as that thought crossed his mind, and he rose to the ceiling and waved his hand, making the massive body of the Depravita of Wrath appear.

When the Depravita of Wrath appeared, an ominous, dark, cold aura flooded the throne room. It extended across the entire Imperial Castle, making everybody inside feel their instincts scream terror.

That feeling was nowhere clearer than within the hearts of Ishmael and the Ten Swords. The Atrox Immortus Emperorʼs upper echelon could see that the monsterʼs body and energy were completely sealed. Yet, he still released such a brutal and powerful aura, making it clear that his power was immense, more than enough to kill any of them in a one-on-one battle.

And according to the video, four of these monsters had inhabited the underground of their continent!

”ZNNNN!”

The next second, Cain waved his hand forward and pierced the chest of the Depravita of Wrath, making a large hole right in the center, and as he took his hand away, the flesh began to regenerate slowly.

That scene shocked Ishmael and the rest of the Atrox Immortus Empire Upper Echelon, but it generated a sharp light in the eyes of the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin. The duo from the Inferno Daemon Empire momentarily thought that this monster and the Humanoids of Dark Sky were connected as their dark and brutal aura were strikingly similar.

However, the Humanoids of Dark Sky did not have insanely fast regeneration abilities. They did not have an energy pool and relied solely on their bodies.

After allowing everyone to see the Depravita of Wrath and dispelling their confusion and questions, Cain sent the monster back into the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer.

”That is a member of the Depravita Race. They are an extremely scheming and powerful race with a more advanced cultivation civilization than ours. That is how they created such majestic structures like the parallel dimension with the underwater city.” Cainʼs voice was somber, making it clear just how dangerous of a threat they posed.

It was time to reveal the existence of the Depravita Race to the other Sacred Races, especially if his hypothesis regarding their connection with Dark Sky was correct.

”I have already faced them two times before. Once, during the battle against the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army, when the Blood King was transformed into the Depravita of Blood. He killed a lot of people, and his last spell consumed the lives of all the low-ranking Inferno Daemons present. It was only with the combined effort of Gods and Titans that we were able to kill him.”

When Ishmael and the Ten Swords heard the tale about the Depravita of Blood, their eyes could not help but turn toward the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin, wondering what type of connection the duo could have with that monster. After all, even if the Depravita of Blood killed a lot of low-ranking Inferno Daemons, it was still fighting for their side.

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were at a loss, as this was the first time they had heard about this. They knew from the generalʼs reports that a powerful entity appeared but had no idea it was a Depravita.

Before the duo of the Inferno Daemon Empire could utter a word about their innocence, Cainʼs voice echoed again. ”The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin have no connection with the Depravita Race. The Depravita Race just manipulated them and their empire, and they were not alone since the Crown Princeʼs soul of the Godslayer Humankind Empire was also taken over by them.”

All the people in the throne room were shocked by that information. They had heard of Michael Goldsoulʼs incredible feats, and he was considered a shooting star. Who would have known he was actually a tool in the hands of an Alien Race?

According to what the Scarlet King was sharing with them, the Depravita Race was the one behind the bloodiest encounter between the Godslayer Humankind Empire and Inferno Daemon Empire in the last thousand years. They were practically using two Sacred Races as puppets for their schemes!

Suddenly, a solemn and sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Atrox Immortus Emperor as he glanced at the Ten Swords. The Depravita Race was good at infiltration, and who could say there would not be one of the present? He trusted all of the Atroxs with his life, but he was sure that the Golden Emperor also trusted his son.

When it came to the safety of the Atrox Immortus Empire and the trillions of people in it, there was no room for sentiments, and one could only rely on pragmatism.

Ishmael was not the only one with those thoughts as Prime Minister Razputin also began to gaze at the rest of the people in the room, even at the Dark Emperor, wondering if any of them could be a spy or worse.

Cain noticed the air of paranoia rising. While it could be extremely dangerous and divisive, he was happy to see it, as a certain amount was needed when facing entities like the Depravita Race. Besides, he had a way to keep it under control.

”None of the people here is a Depravita, or their souls are influenced in any way by them. It is very easy for me to notice the genetic and energy mapping of a Depravita.

Anything related to the spirit is hard, but I used the soul of the Crown Prince to devise a tool capable of detecting any alteration.” Although Cain was making it seem like he was in charge of everything, the truth was that the [A.I. Chip Moulde] was doing all the job.

Of course, to the Atroxs and Inferno Daemons, it did not matter where the ability came from. All they cared about was knowing none of the present was a Depravita.

”Although the Depravita Race is strong, as an Alien Race, it is nearly impossible for them to enter Aether. They were trying to create a ʼkey,ʼ but I have already frustrated their plans, so Kronos is safe, and you will not have to worry about anyone harming your people.” There was a meaningful light in Cainʼs eyes as he uttered those last words.

Ishmael understood the meaning behind that, and a solemn expression appeared as he glanced at the rest of the Ten Swords. All the Atroxs glanced at the Atrox Immortus Emperor, and one by one, they nodded, signaling their approval.

Once everybody was on the same page, the Atrox Immortus Emperor clasped his hands and performed a slight bow before rising to his full height. ”We will not forget your incredible help. Since we no longer have to worry about the Dark Factions or any other hidden power, the Atrox Immortus Empire will send 90% of its forces through the Bridge of Hope.”

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were excited as they heard those words. While the Atrox Immortus Empire had already committed to marching into Atlas and facing Dark Sky, they were initially only going to send 50% of its forces.

90% would not only mean more soldiers but also allow the Dark Racesʼ camp to grow massively, which could match that of the Light Races camp. Of course, this was not due to a clash between the two sides, but more numbers would mean easier access to Ouroboros Points.

Cain did not care about things like Dark Races and Light Races anymore since his mentality had already advanced beyond that. He just smiled to see a new powerful force siding against Dark Sky.
