The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 299 Stopping the fight

Cainʼs eyes grew sharp as he focused on the Blood Pagoda and flashed at full speed toward this one. He could feel the battle behind him involving hundreds of Wave Champions, but he could not afford to distract.

Shura had led the people of the Integrationist Path that attended the Final Blood Champion Tournament into a defensive position, so the other side could not interrupt him. However, hundreds of Wave Champions and Wave Warriors were still in Blood Island and Blood City.

Both sides had heard the order from the powerhouses, so battles did not take long to emerge across the city and island, with one side wanting to stop Cainʼs from reaching the Blood Pagoda and the other protecting him.

Cainʼs Ego Wave showed him the ongoing battles and how the collateral damage would not take long to start affecting civilians and children. That only made him push himself even harder to reach the Blood Pagoda.

Warriors of the Integrationist Path were doing all they could to give Cain an unobstructed path toward the Blood Pagoda, but some people of the Purist Path still managed to rise into the sky.

For those weak Wave Champions, it was practically suicide to face Cain head-on, and they knew it. However, in their minds, they were protecting their home and families from the evil outsider, and that was something worth dying for.

Cainʼs eyes were cold as he saw people flashing toward him. There was fear in their eyes, but they were readying to sacrifice all in order to delay him.

”Ahhhh.”

A small sight came out of Cainʼs mouth as he pushed his mind to the limit, activating The Flow. He could read every move and action those warriors did, allowing him to pass through them without harming them.

Shock and confusion appeared on the warriors of the Purist Path as they saw Cain simply flashing past them, dodging all their attacks and spells as he made his way into the Blood Pagoda.

Everybody saw the battles of the tournament, and it was clear that Cain did not have a problem killing people, but they failed to understand the reason behind his actions.

Cainʼs nature was that of a hero. It might be a twisted one fueled by revenge and murderous intent, but that is how he saw himself, and just killing people that wanted to protect their homes was not something he would do.

The Blood Pagoda was already within his reach, and just as nearly a dozen of the attacks were about to clash with him, he made the Astral Wave on the sole of his feet explode, propelling his body like a rock, dodging everything and allowing him to reach the structure.

Powerhouses of both sides saw that, and while smiles appeared on those of the Integrationist Path and anxiety on those of the Purist Path, none of them got overexcited. Even if Cain could hack the Blood Pagoda, it would take him a long time to do that, and it would also mean that hundreds, if not thousands, of people would die fighting around him.

”ZNNNNNN!”

However, once again, Cain did what everybody else thought was impossible, hacking the Blood Pagoda less than five seconds after touching this one.

”It can not be happening!”

One of the strongest powerhouses of the Purist Path shouted when he saw that. Cain was simply too fast, and now that he had control over the Blood Pagoda, the casualties of the warriors of the Purist Path would rise exponentially.

[4000 Destiny Force used to raise the potency of the Hacking Tool.

Hacking of Blood Pagoda completed.

Vessel has complete control over the structure.]

Cain smiled as he gained access to the Blood Pagoda. He had lost a lot of the Destiny Force he had just gained by obtaining The Flow, raising to the Second Realm, and attacking the High Blood Elder, but it was worth it.

Not wasting a single second, he immediately activated the powers of the Blood Pagoda.

Everybody saw how the Blood Pagodaʼs energy burst, but a massive red plasma net emerged from the structure instead of a hundred lethal energy beams.

The net was incredibly fast, encompassing everybody beneath the Wave King level in it. Shura had no idea what was happening, but the red plasma net covered her and all the warriors of the Integrationist Path, just like it did with those of the Purist Path.

People were confused since it did not make sense for Cain to attack everybody, but soon they understood that the plasma net was not a weapon.

Once the plasma net had covered every man, woman, and child in the Blood Sea that was not a Wave King, it suppressed their powers, stopping them from fighting before contracting itself.

In less than a minute, millions of people were all stuck together around the Blood Pagoda, covered in a red cocoon capable of enduring the attacks of a Titan, much less the collateral damage of a fight between Wave Kings.

Shock appeared in the eyes of the powerhouses when they saw the way Cain used the Blood Pagoda. It did not take long for that emotion to change into something else.

In the case of the Integrationist Path, it was pride and admiration. They were proud of following a path that accepted people like Cain in their home.

As for those on the Purist Path, there was nothing but shame. How could they justify their views when even outsiders cared more about their common people than their own leader?

The fight between the powerhouses did not stop, but while the fighting spirit of the Integrationist Path burned, many on the Purist Path were finding it hard to focus.

It was only at this point that Cain finally allowed himself to relax. His entire body was tense as he stood on the top of the Blood Pagoda and focused on the battles in the distance.

The battle between the nearly one hundred powerhouses from the Integrationist Path and Purist Path was truly a sight to behold. A Wave King had similar power to a small nuclear weapon, so dozens of them fighting was like seeing the entire military force of the two greatest nations in the Old World clashing head-on.

Just the shock waves their battle unleashed was incredible. The amphitheater made to resist the fight between Peka Wave Champions had shattered to pieces after ten minutes, despite no direct attack landing on it.

”BOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”

However, even that mighty display of power between the powerhouses fell short compared to the fight occurring thousands of kilometers above sea level.

The Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 were fighting against the High Blood Elder and Second Blood Elder, and by the might of those explosions, it was clear that neither side was holding back.

If Titans were to fight in the Old World, they would have the power to burn the atmosphere, killing the entire world!

There was no way to describe them other than weapons of planetary destruction. Only a world like Aether could hold fighting between this type of monster without suffering actual damage.

Cainʼs arms were healing at a shocking speed under the power of the Radiance of Life. The Sun Sed had grown even more powerful after the evolution of the Ego Eternal Path of Power to the Second Realm.

Channeling the attack of the Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs energy into a cannon did a lot of damage to his arms, but since the one that took the brunt of the recoil was Slaughter, there was no irreversible damage.

And he was not just healing his arms. Several mid-quality wave crystals went into his [Devourer Dimension] while at the same time sending some into his stomach.

Finally, he was also increasing his mastery of Mind Over Wave. His willpower had risen to the point where he could channel it into his own Astral Wave or take control of the Life Wave in the surroundings. Both paths granted him a much greater endurance and a great burst of battle power.

It took Cain less than fifteen minutes to fully heal the arm damage. Although his energy pool had not fully recovered, it was enough to rejoin the fray. His eyes grew sharp, and he took a deep breath.

”Wait!”

Just as Cain was about to march into the battlefield, he heard a voice and looked down at the people inside the red plasma net.

Shura was looking at him with eyes full of fear. She knew Cain and what this one would do after healing his injuries, but she did not want him to once again risk his life.

”It is too dangerous. Donʼt do it.”

Cainʼs eyes showed a little surprise when he heard that. The woman knew what he was about to do. A small smile appeared on his face as he saw the dread and worry in Shuraʼs face, but he simply shook his head.

”It is in my nature.”

Those were his last words before he flashed to the sky, ready to join the Wave Kingʼs battlefield.
