The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 563: From worse to horrible

Suddenly, Cainʼs eyes grew sharp, and his Ego Wave burst with power. At the same time, Zamuel and Loreʼs eyes widened in shock as they glanced at Cain, hearing his voice in their minds and understanding his plan.

It was extremely dangerous and would put all of them in great danger, but the only other way was death, so in the end, the duo softly nodded.

The Soul King was a seasoned warrior, and there was no way he could not notice the silent exchange between Cain and the other two, but his face remained immutable, as there was nothing they could do to change what was about to happen.

Just as the Soul King was about to signal for the enhanced warriors of the Kraken Clan and those of the Umbra Clan to attack, Cain waved his hand and released the nine Space Spheres, generating the Blood Nexus Domain.

The Soul King saw the blood domain encompassing them all, but while it was very powerful against weak enemies, it could do little against the Umbra Clan and Kraken Clan warriors.

ʼWait!ʼ

Just as that thought crossed the Soul Kingʼs mind, he noticed how the Space Spheres began to shine, releasing astonishing amounts of energy. After using the Blood Nexus Domain as a shield against the shadow avatar attack, the Space Spheres were damaged, but the reason for the shine was not that.

Cain had been charging the spheres with the energy coming from the [Gluttony Module] to the point they were about to explode, which was precisely what he was after.

”BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!”

The nine Space Spheres and the entire Blood Nexus Domain exploded, unleashing a chaotic ocean of Blood Energy and spatial turbulence that flooded the area, covering both sides.

The Soul King raised his broadsword, and Robert immediately appeared in front of him to protect him. The explosion affected his senses but did little damage as the blast spread in all directions, diminishing its destructive powers.

ʼWhat is he trying to do!ʼ

The Soul King frowned as he did not understand what Cain was trying to achieve with such a distraction, and then he felt a powerful force coming toward them. His perception detected a beam of solar energy and Blood Energy flashing toward them with immense power.

Immediately, Talon and the members of the Umbra Clan moved to the left, while the Soul King and those of the Kraken Clan went to the right, avoiding that ferocious energy strike. Just as the energy strike moved through both clans, it shattered, revealing Cainʼs presence.

”What!”

The Soul King couldnʼt help but shout as he saw Cain passing through their blockade and moving to the Gray Road. At the same time, all the Solis and Zanginis Clans warriors moved in the opposite direction, returning to the Astral Bloodline Chamber.

Immediately, a flash of enlightenment appeared in the Soul Kingʼs eyes as he figured out Cainʼs plan. Cain used the distraction of the blast to escape and reach the Gray Road before looking for help, while the members of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan would return to the Astral Bloodline Chamber, where they would be safe as if it was impossible to fight inside it.

Of course, it would have been great if everybody could escape, but that was impossible. Cain was the fastest and had the highest chance of getting help.

”Soul King!”

Talon couldnʼt help but shout with fear and distress in his eyes. If Cain were to escape and inform other clans of what was happening, it would be the end of the Umbra Clan. There was no way the Deus Behemoth Empire would turn a blind eye to a clan working with one of the Ten Dark Kings of The Organization.

As for the Soul Kingʼs initial offering to the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan about letting them go if they let him kill Cain, that was obviously a lie.

”Dammit!”

The soul force in the Soul Kingʼs eyes trembled as his emotions grew out of control again due to the mental distress, but through willpower, he regained control, and decisiveness appeared on his face.

”You, Robert, and I will go after Cain. The rest of the Umbra Clan and Kraken Clan will follow the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan toward the Astral Bloodline Chamber and make sure they do not escape.”

The Soul King had not even finished speaking as the Kraken Clan and Umbra Clan members were already in motion.

Cain was moving at full speed toward the exit of the route and back to the Gray Road. Hiding in the beam of energy had scorched his skin, but he ignored the pain as he advanced faster and faster. His eyes narrowed as he noticed three presences following him, only for one to suddenly vanish.

ʼThe Soul King, Robert, and Talon. Good, if the trio is after me, the others will be able to reach the Astral Bloodline Chamber alive.ʼ

Facing the trio on his own was not something Cain could do in his current condition. Even at his peak, facing the enhanced Robert would have been hard, and his chances of victory would have been zero if the Soul King and Talon joined the battle.

Although Cainʼs eyes were focused ahead of him, the [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field] showed him the trioʼs presence, including how Talon hid in Robertʼs shadows.

Cain and the others had already been close to the Gray Road when the Umbra Clan ambushed them, so it didnʼt take long to exit the route and reach the massive road. Immediately, his eyes wandered around, trying to find some sign of other Deus Behemoths, but there was no one.

ʼDammit!ʼ

Although Cain knew it could not be so easy, he still cursed at his luck. Without wasting even a second, he began to move forward, pushing ahead, trying to find someone.

Not far from Cain, the Soul King was on top of Robertʼs giant body, slowly but surely diminishing the distance between them. As for Talon, he moved hidden in the shadows, making sure no one could detect his presence.

Cain was moving as fast as he could, but his wounds were too severe to activate Asura Form, so he could only rely on his Blood Wings and Spatial Phase to move forward. However, his speed was marginally slower than the enhanced member of the Kraken Clan, so it was just a matter of time before they caught up.

Just as the distance between Cain and Robert was reduced to less than two hundred meters, luck finally smiled on him as he saw a group emerging from one of the roads. They were five Deus Behemoths, and their fur and fox-like ears meant they were members of the Fenrir Clan.

The fact that there were only five members of the Fenrir Clan did not necessarily mean that the others were dead. Dividing the group into two was a good strategy when navigating the diverse routes, but none of that mattered.

The only thing Cain cared about right now was the help this group could provide. They didnʼt need to fight; it would be good enough if they could at least help him regain his breath and hear his words.

The members of the Fenrir Clan were shocked to see Cain being chased by a wounded member of the Kraken Clan, missing an arm, along with Robert, whose body was severely disfigured. Rodrick, the strongest member of the new generation of the Fenrir Clan, was not among this group, but that did not mean they lacked a leader.

A young woman with a thin sword on her back saw Cain approaching, and she was about to act, trying to gain time to understand what was happening.

However, before the woman could say a word, one of the members of the Fenrir Clan moved forward and waved his massive sword, unleashing a powerful beam of sword force that blasted toward Cain.

Cainʼs eyes widened, and he immediately took out Slaughter, using a Quantum Laceration to destroy the beam of sword force coming at him. That attack couldnʼt threaten him, even in his weakened state, but that wasnʼt the problem.

Even if it was weak, the beam of sword force forced Cain to slow down, allowing Robert to reach the one-hundred-meter mark. The man from the Kraken Clan waved his massive hammer toward Cain, unleashing a blast of concentrated oceanic pressure that struck Cain and sent him flying away while puking blood.

Cain clenched his teeth as he regained control, using the attack to propel his body forward. A flash of rage and killing intent appeared in his eyes, but he controlled those emotions as he moved forward.

Robertʼs attack had pushed him thousands of meters forward, and now the trio stood between him and the Fenrir Clan, so there was no way to return. And even if there were, Cain would not do it as he did not trust them. The only choice was to push forward.
