The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 339 To the Genetic Coder Association

Cain nodded to Grandmaster Horteus, and the next second, the pieces of Slaughter inside his heart emerged.

Horteus did not waste his time, waving his hand to bring the pieces to himself and glancing at them. His Essence Wave concentrated in his retinas, but it was more than just enhancing his vision since it seemed as if his gaze could pierce into the core of the artifact.

”The damage is significant, but it makes sense since it was used as the conduit for the power of a Titan like the Collapsing Lightning Duke. Several of its magic matrices broke to pieces, rendering the overall formation useless.”

Cain and Yordana silently listened to the man analyze the pieces and did not dare to interfere. If they gave their opinion about the state of Slaughter, they would only be making clowns of themselves as they could not compare in expertise with a Grandmaster.

”I can fix it, making it even stronger than before, but the price would equal a Peak Platinum Tier Wave Artifact.”

Cain was happy with the first part, but upon hearing the cost, he could not help but feel shocked. Slaughter was a Holy Weapon, and since it was born of a Natural Inheritance, its power was equal to a Platinum Tier Artifact. Still, it was an astronomical price.

Cainʼs wealth was not small, but the cost of a single Platinum Tier Artifact would equal half of his net worth.

Luckily for Cain, he would not be the one paying for Slaughterʼs repair.

”It is fine. Please do your best, Grandmaster Horteus. Even if the price rises, it is not a problem. As usual, the military credits will be transferred to you as soon as the job is over.”

Clearly, what was expensive for Cain was not the same for Yordana. The title of Prime Minister had tremendous responsibility and a significant burden, but it was rewarded with immense power and wealth.

”I do not have any other work right now, so I can start immediately. Come back in two months. Until then, use this to train.”

Grandmaster Horteus threw a starry gem from his space ring to Cain.

”It uses the principles of vibration and sound to train your body. While it is limited to the Wave Champion Rank, its effectiveness is not less than the cultivation technique engraved in this weapon.”

Cain showed a large smile as he heard that. Without Slaughter, he would be unable to train his Sonic Blade Fusion Technique, but that would not be a problem with this new technique. It was fine if it was limited to the Wave Champion Rank since he would get back his Natural Holy Weapon before even preparing to enter the Late Stage.

”I appreciate this.”

Although Cain would have no problem getting another cultivation technique, this saved him a lot of trouble.

Grandmaster Horteus only nodded before waving his hand, signaling the duo to leave.

Cain and Yordana stood up, bowed to the man, and silently left the Endless Pyramid. Krane and the old Apotheosis Realm Master were waiting for the duo outside, taking advantage of the energy that flooded the air.

”Letʼs go.”

Cain spoke to Krane, and the duo calmly returned to the teleportation formation with Yordana and Samantha. It did not take long for the four to leave the terrain of the Wave Crafter Association, and they appeared in the central plaza.

Cain was about to say goodbye to Yordana, but she was faster.

Would you like to use this opportunity to visit the Genetic Coder Association? I am sure the Fourth Prince will provide you with the best equipment for the Genetic Coder Tournament that will happen in a month, but someone like you would prefer to get it on his own.”

Yordana showed a radiant smile as she uttered those words, and there was a meaningful light in her eyes.

Cain stared at the woman and could not help but silently nod to her skills. She was not only talented in the cultivation path, but her mind was extremely keen on matters of politics and influence.

ʼThe apple doesnʼt fall far from the tree.ʼ

Cain did not know much about the current Prime Minister, but anyone who achieved that position must have outsmarted countless other opponents. Sometimes, winning a battle with your brain instead of your muscles was much more impressive.

”I will follow you.”

Yordana smiled as she heard that answer, but the expression of the old woman behind her was not so happy. However, in the end, Samantha could only sigh and accept that she could not control the young womanʼs interests.

The group returned to the teleportation formation and took the one that would bring them to the Genetic Coder Associationʼs domains. After a blinding light, the group was received with a view that was no less impressive than the one from the Wave Crafter Associationʼs metallic pillars.

Strange trees covered the area, all hundreds of meters in height, but that was not the important part. They were not just made of wood since they had biological and mechanical components, making them monstrosities to most peopleʼs eyes.

”Wonderful.”

However, for Cain, they were gorgeous. Whoever created those trees was able to modify their genetic structure to enhance them with biological and mechanical components.

Cainʼs eyes glowed with red light as he saw the trees devouring the carbon dioxide in the air along with the Life Wave before releasing a colorless substance that entered peopleʼs lungs. He took a deep breath, allowing the energy to flood his body, and was shocked to feel how it enhanced his cells and energy pool!

Cainʼs body had a vitality that surpassed some Wave Kings, and the amount of energy needed to improve it in the slightest was immense, but those trees could do it without a problem. By any sense of the words, they were a marvel of genetic engineering.

The effect this energy would have on peopleʼs bodies and energy pools was not any less impressive than the one generated by the pillars of the Wave Crafter Association. y Virtual Library Empire

While he was impressed by the structures in the Wave Crafter Association, Cain did not take that path, so that was the end of it. But he was a Genetic Coder and was very interested in pushing that path all the way to the peak. As he saw the level of genetic engineering in the trees, he felt his blood burning with excitement and curiosity.

If no one were looking, Cain would have difficulty resisting the temptation to dissect those trees and study their genetic structure.

Despite the magnificence of those trees, they were nothing compared to the structure at the core of the Genetic Coding Associationʼs domain.

A large smile appeared on his face as he looked ahead, gazing at the headquarters of the Genetic Coder Association. Unlike the pyramid he saw in the Wave Crafter Association, this one was a massive metallic square floating a substantial distance above the ground.

It did not have the majesty of the Endless Pyramid, but Cain could not help but smile since the form of the cube was the perfect embodiment of the mentality of Genetic Coders. There was no need to worry about aesthetics since efficiency was all that mattered in the end.

Yordana led the way, and the group headed to the formation beneath the massive square. They immediately drew the attention of young people in dark robes and armbands that stayed inside the forest.

They were young, but there were thousands of Elementary Genetic Coders, and the number of Grand Genetic Coders could be counted in the hundreds.

Grand Genetic Coders could inspire the same respect that a Wave Kings in most Sectors, but they were nothing special in a place like this. Entering the headquarters was prohibited for anyone beneath the Pseudo Saint Genetic Coder level.

Just as Cain and the others reached the teleportation formation that led into the cube, two figures emerged from the ground. One was a massive humanoid tree, while the other was a three-headed wolf.

Cain could not help but clench his fist as he saw those two beasts. They were Living Battle Puppets, genetically engineered beasts whose minds had been replaced with living computers similar to an A.I. Chip.

”Yordana Manixet, you have no prior appointments and are not authorized to enter the Genetic Evolution Cube.”

The Living Battle Puppets spoke with a robotic voice. Clearly, this one would not allow her to pass just due to her status.

Yordana did not lose her composure and simply took a card from her space ring.

The Trent focused on it, and the next second it nodded.

”Visit Card recognized. You and your group can pass.”

Cain stared at the card and was surprised at how simple it was. However, he understood that getting one would not be easy, and most likely, its use was limited.

The four did not waste time and went into the teleportation formation, leaving the forest and teleporting into the cube.
