The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 976 Six Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance

”Welcome to the Babel Tower.”

As soon as the masters of the Sacred Races heard those words, all of them immediately knelt and lowered their heads, shouting in unison.

”Hail the Scarlet King!” Their voices, filled with awe, respect, admiration, and devotion, echoed through the hall as they gazed at the young man. The Scarlet Kingʼs ability to seemingly control the world with his mind, coupled with his ever-growing aura of mystery and power, was a captivating sight.

Cain nodded before waving his hand, indicating they should rise. His eyes moved through each of their faces, paying particular attention to the Prime Ministers of the Sacred Races. These six had been present during the last stages of the wars, taking control over the logistical matters and planning, and their abilities were especially helpful while Cain was in a coma healing his Ego Wave.

If not for the work of these six, there was no way the Sacred Races would have placed the Anti-Dark Fog Tower at such incredible speed.

”Prime Minister of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, Minxet. Step forward,” Cainʼs voice echoed across the room, and the middle-aged man immediately moved forward and bowed.

”Prime Minister of the Inferno Daemon Race, Razputin, step forward.”

Immediately after that, the old man from the Nether Clan, who had worked as the main logistic center for the dark camp, stepped forward and bowed.

”Prime Minister of the Deus Behemoth Race, Wanton, step forward!”

A fat Deus Behemoth with sloth-like characteristics also advanced, positioning himself with the other two.

”Prime Minister of the Atrox Immortus Race, Sebastian, step forward!”

A thin man covered in Atrox-blade armor moved ahead, bowing to the Scarlet King as he took his position.

”Prime Minister from the Anima Mechanicus Race, Kamila, step forward!”

A member of the Anima Machinarium Race with feminine features advanced, adopting a solemn stance as she bowed.

”Prime Minister from the Legio Eldritch Race, Zarona, step forward!”

A woman with tentacles on her face and oily skin covered in a dark robe advanced, adopting a solemn stance as she bowed.

All six of them were their racesʼ main tactical and logistic minds. They were known for their incredible governmental abilities and insight into the needs of trillions across a vast continent, ensuring proper order and laws and avoiding anarchy.

Cain stared at the group and nodded before sending five emblems made of Adamantium Metal, each of them holding his Ego Mark.

The Prime Ministers of the Sacred Races were shocked by the sight of the emblems. They had learned a lot about the Godslayer Humankind and knew this was the Scarlet Emblem, a symbol of the Scarlet Kingʼs favor and trust. It was granted for the first time to Prime Minister Minxet when bestowing the title of one of the Six Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance.

A sharp and potent intent emerged from Cainʼs eyes as he gazed at the six and spoke in a solemn voice full of power, ”From now on, you are the Six Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance.”

The shock and awe in the souls of the Prime Ministers only grew stronger as they heard those words. Everyone had been waiting for the Scarlet King to name the other five Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance, and they wondered who among the members of the Godslayer Humankind Empire would gain that honor.

However, the other five seats were never meant to go to humans but to the other five races! These people were all wise, yet they could barely believe there would be someone as scheming as the Scarlet King. If their hypothesis was correct, the young man had just conquered the continent of Gaia when his mind had already begun to plan the complete unification of the entire world.

The Prime Ministers could not help but feel a sense of dread in their hearts as they gazed at the young man as if looking at a monster whose mind was always ten steps ahead of everyone else.

Of course, that shock and dread did not cloud their minds for long, as all the Prime Ministers of the Sacred Races immediately adopted a solemn attitude and performed a deep bow. Their voices, filled with a mix of fear and respect, echoed through the room, ”We thank the Scarlet King for this immense honor!”

Cainʼs smile grew wider as he felt the determination and conviction in the voices of these men and women. He was sure that with their help, his next plans would run much more smoothly, saving him a lot of time and trouble.

With a wave of his hand, Cain made a table with six chairs appear, followed by a second row with thirteen. It was clear what they were for, and the Chief Counselors and Stars of Doomsday took their places, all of them waiting in silence to hear the words of the Scarlet King.

”There are two main missions that will shape the future of Aether. The first one is a tournament that will test both the Martial Path and the Craftsmanship Path, a challenge of utmost importance.” Cainʼs voice was sharp, underlining the gravity of the tasks and ensuring all understood the weight of their responsibilities.

”Every empire will initiate its own selection process, choosing the top one million craft masters and the best nine million warriors from their territories.

There will be no age limits or rank barriers for the craft masters. The selection will focus solely on talent and ingenuity, measured by a special program I have implemented. Your primary task is to gather your finest craftsmen.

For the Martial Path, the nine million selected warriors will be categorized as follows: nine hundred spots are reserved for Divine Ascension Masters, nine thousand for Apotheosis Masters, and nine hundred thousand for Wave Kings. Wave Warriors and Wave Champions will fight in the same category and fill the remaining eight million and one thousand slots.

Make sure to adhere to these criteria when selecting your candidates.”
