The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 486 Red Death (I)

The Deus Behemoth Duke stared at Cain, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

”We have all this in the warehouse of the fort, but even if I were to make a discount considering your military ranking, it would cost you no less than 100 high-quality wave crystals.”

One hundred high-quality wave crystals was an obscene amount of wealth, so massive that it was more than enough to get a complete set of armor and weapons for a Peak Apotheosis Master. One could even buy weak Adamantine Artifacts with that amount of wealth.

Gigant knew that Cain was immensely talented and powerful, but that amount of wealth was not something anyone could amass easily; it would normally take decades to accumulate so much. Thatʼs why the Deus Behemoth was so shocked when Cain waved his hand and made all the high-quality wave crystals appear.

Cain just smiled as he saw Gigantʼs expression. One hundred high-quality wave crystals was indeed an immense amount of wealth, but he had more than enough after his time in Kronos, especially during the last fight. Just the supreme quality wave crystal was worth nearly 80 high-quality wave crystals, and the Blood Gem Heart was worth even more.

”I will be counting on you.”

Gigant could only nod as he took the high-quality wave crystals and began to set instructions to gather the resources Cain was after.

”¡BOOM!”

A small explosion echoed inside an underground cave, its origin being the blast of a person. The man had exploded like a balloon full of blood due to his bodyʼs inability to contain the overwhelming amount of world energy triggered by an 18 Revolution Refinement.

Cain sighed as he witnessed the explosion of the man. He wasnʼt particularly concerned about the death, but failure was not something he enjoyed.

There were bandages covering his body and a red mask over his face. For this type of mission, secrecy was necessary, as the presence of a Godsalyer Human could draw suspicion, so he fully embraced the identity of the Scarlet King.

The disappointment for the failure didnʼt last long as the Scarlet King cleaned the interior of the Refinement Cauldron before looking to the side. Next to the cauldron was a long line of people, all with vacant eyes as they had been hypnotized and were now under his control.

Without saying a word, the next man jumped into the cauldron as the Scarlet King placed an 18 Revolution Flame by the side of this one before closing the lid.

Although an 18 Revolution Flame required a shocking amount of energy and vitality, the battle with the Wave Beastsʼ oceanic horde provided an overwhelming number of corpses. Not to mention, he still had all the diverse resources full of vitality obtained by Death Tide.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes burned with red light as he pushed his mind to the peak, revolving the ferocious energy across the body of the man inside the cauldron. Hours went by, and pain began to appear on his face due to the overwhelming mental effort that the Tribulation Enhancement demanded, but he just clenched his teeth and carried on.

Finally, after what seemed to be eons, the Refinement Cauldron stopped trembling, and the world energy flooding into it ceased.

The Deus Behemoth Wave King emerged from the cauldron the next second. The manʼs eyes were still vacant due to the hypnosis, but his entire body glowed with vibrant vitality and energy due to the refinement his Sacred Organ and energy pool had just encountered.

The Scarlet King showed a small smile, and the next second, he pointed his index finger at the Wave Kingʼs chest, sending a small arc of shadows that pierced the heart of this one!

A flash of pain appeared in the eyes of the Deus Behemoth Wave King, but he was not able to break free from the hypnosis or stop a stream of blood from leaving his body.

All the manʼs blood reached the Scarlet Kingʼs right hand before being set ablaze, being consumed by the Blood Flame. He continued until there was not a single drop left.

Without showing any emotion, the Scarlet King covered the manʼs desiccated corpse with his Ego Wave and sent it into the [Devouring Dimension] so it could work as fuel.

”Monster.”

The Scarlet King heard those words and turned to the ceiling of the underground cave. There was a woman with her arms and legs impaled by small blades. She could not move nor use her energy and could only see as more and more of her people entered the cauldron and exploded like balloons full of blood or survived, only to be killed and consumed by the man the next second.

”How can you do these sorts of egregious acts without showing any remorse!”

The woman was terrified, and the loss of blood had slowly drained her energy, so despite her cultivation at the Peak Wave King, she could barely keep conscious, but she clenched on just to shout those words full of rage.

The Scarlet Kingʼs eyes were just as cold in the beginning as if the woman was a nuisance, but after hearing those words, they began to lose their light and soon became emotionless, generating a sense of utter dread in the Peak Wave King.

”Each and every person here is a thief, a killer, or worse. All of you profited from the pain and weakness of others, never showing any mercy, yet you want justice and morality to protect you.

I donʼt like criminals, but I can work with them. Besides, good and evil are concepts that vary depending on which side of the table you are on.

However, I loathe hypocrisy from the bottom of my soul.”

The Scarlet King took his eyes away from the woman as he continued with his experiments but left some final words.

”Keep shouting if you want; it will not change anything. You will answer some questions once I end my experiments with your subordinates. If you resist, I will cut your ears, gouge your eyes, take out your tongue, and flay your skin before burning you alive.” Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire
