The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 2674: Arch-Nephilim Race

Meylin’s eyes, which had remained steady even in the face of absolute doom, trembled the instant she heard those words.

Then, space itself fractured.

The void split apart, revealing a wondrous golden current that stretched into infinity. It was an endless river of liquid light, carrying the very essence of causality as countless streams intertwined in an eternal cycle.

From that boundless river emerged a young man.

Cain.

The moment his crimson eyes met Meylin’s, a gentle smile filled with love, relief, and admiration appeared on his face. He did not speak. He did not need to. That single expression told her everything.

’You have done enough.’

Then he turned toward the void.

His warm smile vanished, replaced by absolute focus as he faced the descending Empyrean Samsara Sun.

The colossal sphere of violet destruction continued its relentless descent, melting space, warping gravity, and reducing everything around it to nothingness. Entire sections of the atmosphere collapsed beneath its overwhelming pressure, yet Cain’s crimson eyes only shone brighter and brighter.

The energy within his Hybrid Apex Body surged violently.

He could feel it.

The power contained within that sun was beyond the Third Realm.

It was powerful enough to destroy his current body.

It stood on the same level as the attack unleashed by the Sacred Kings of Chaos and Order back in Paradise—a force capable of erasing worlds with ease.

Instead of hesitation...

A fervent smile spread across Cain’s face.

His battle spirit erupted.

Without slowing down for even an instant, he took a single step.

The Endless River rippled beneath his feet.

The next moment, he appeared directly before the Empyrean Samsara Sun.

He extended both hands.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”

A catastrophic explosion shook heaven and earth.

An ocean of violet flames erupted around Cain as his palms collided with the massive Samsara Sun, halting its advance in an instant.

The pressure was beyond imagination.

The flesh covering his arms burned black almost immediately.

His blood began to boil.

Muscles ruptured while his bones groaned beneath the overwhelming force pressing against him.

Every instinct screamed that the attack could crush him at any moment.

Yet...

Instead of fear...

Instead of concern...

Only excitement filled Cain’s heart.

A wide grin spread across his face.

”I can beat this!”

His roar shook the void itself.

Taking another step forward, Cain forced the colossal Empyrean Samsara Sun backward.

Far above, Nito’s maddened eyes finally regained a fragment of clarity.

He had been so consumed by rage that he had not even noticed Cain’s arrival.

Now...

As he watched his supreme attack being pushed back...

Disbelief filled his face.

The Curse Eater violently shook his head before focusing on the figure opposing him.

His pupils shrank.

Not only had Cain returned...

He had returned as a member of an Apex Race.

”No...”

His voice trembled.

”No...”

Then his expression twisted into madness.

”NOOOOOOO!”

The Curse Eater roared hysterically.

”This was my moment!”

”DIE!”

His overwhelming rage only fueled the Samsara Eye further.

Its grotesque power erupted violently, flooding his body with even more forbidden strength.

The Empyrean Samsara Sun descended once more.

Its pressure multiplied.

The force threatening to crush both Cain and the Empyrean World became even greater.

The skin covering Cain’s arms calcified before crumbling into ash.

Blood poured from countless cracks spreading throughout his body.

Yet...

None of it mattered.

On the contrary...

The greater the pressure became...

The wider Cain’s smile grew.

Because he finally understood what had always been missing.

Ever since the Neo-Demon and Neo-Angel Cores had fused within him, they had awakened a terrifying new power.

However, as his cultivation and soul continued to evolve, Cain gradually realized something.

The fusion had never been complete.

Neo-Demons were a race that sought absolute physical supremacy.

Their cultivation focused entirely on the body, sealing the powers of terrifying beasts, divine phenomena, and legendary enemies within their organs to forge flesh capable of shattering worlds with nothing but raw strength.

Neo-Angels stood at the opposite extreme.

Their strength came not from themselves, but from the universe around them.

They wielded the laws and concepts governing creation, stealing reality’s own authority as their power. The stronger the universe surrounding them, the greater the might they could command.

During his battle against the Ancient One, Cain had used both powers together, allowing him to unleash incredible strength.

But after his experiences in Paradise...

He finally understood the truth.

An Apex Race was not merely the coexistence of two supreme powers.

It was their sublimation.

Their complete transcendence.

A true Apex being did not wield two forces simultaneously.

It transformed them into something entirely new.

Something greater than the sum of its parts.

”CRACK!”

A sharp sound echoed across the Fallen Empyrean World.

It did not originate from the world.

Nor from the void.

Nor from the colossal purple sun threatening to consume everything.

It came from Cain.

The unimaginable pressure shattered the final invisible barrier separating him from the true evolution of his bloodline.

”RUMBLE!”

The earth trembled.

The heavens shook.

The universe itself quaked.

A colossal vortex formed above Cain as all seven Astral Black Holes within his body began revolving simultaneously.

Each transformed into a miniature singularity, tearing fragments of universal law directly from reality before drawing them into his flesh.

Law became blood.

Concept became bone.

Reality itself fused with his existence.

Cain’s back convulsed.

Then...

Eight enormous crystal-black wings erupted outward.

Each wing contained what appeared to be an entire galaxy.

Countless stars revolved within their crystalline structure, while endless streams of universal laws flowed through them like rivers of light.

The Absolute Destruction True Doomsday Body acted as the perfect vessel, dramatically increasing the flesh’s ability to contain universal laws.

At the same time, those very laws nourished the body, enhancing every muscle, bone, and cell with unimaginable destructive power.

The two forces no longer existed separately.

They became a perfect cycle.

A complete whole.

With every revolution...

Cain’s aura climbed higher.

And higher.

And higher.

His body expanded.

The charred flesh covering him peeled away, replaced by gleaming black-and-white bone armor that grew naturally from his skin.

Massive skeletal spikes blazing with crimson plasma erupted from his elbows, knees, shoulders, and spine.

Every spike radiated the authority of countless universal laws.

His mere presence caused space itself to distort.

”Hahahahahaha!”

The Scarlet King threw back his head and laughed.

It was not the laughter of madness.

Nor arrogance.

It was the pure joy of someone who had finally broken through his own limits.

At last...

He had surpassed the Neo-Demons.

He had surpassed the Neo-Angels.

He had forged an entirely new Apex Race.

His crimson eyes blazed like twin supernovas as he stared directly at Nito.

”Face...”

Golden currents intertwined with scarlet flames as every Astral Black Hole roared in unison.

”...the might...”

The power of flesh.

The authority of law.

The essence of destruction.

All became one.

”...of the Arch-Nephilim Race!”

With a thunderous roar, Cain released the full power of his newly evolved bloodline.

The Empyrean Samsara Sun violently trembled.

Then...

Unable to resist the overwhelming force of the Scarlet King, the colossal purple star was driven backward, soaring toward the heavens as though the apocalypse itself had been reversed.
