The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 564: The Mind Cosmos Chamber

Although the oceanic hammer attack had harmed Cain, it also increased the distance between him and the trio, granting him more time to find others. However, his chances were not great, and he was running out of time.

Cain clenched his teeth and ignored the pain he felt as he moved forward at full speed. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he detected a fluctuation in the energy in one of the routes, indicating a path toward one of the chambers. While this would have been good news before, it was pointless now as it could very well be empty, leading him to a dead end.

However, just as Cain was about to move past it, it happened.

ʼBoy, this way.ʼ

Cainʼs eyes widened as he heard that voice in his mind. There was no life form near him other than the trio, and the Astral Bloodline Realm limited the range of oneʼs Ego Wave, so no one should be able to communicate telepathically with him, yet it happened.

There were two paths for Cain: moving forward, hoping to find another of the clans and request their help, or trusting that this mysterious entity could help him. A flash of determination appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he made a sharp turn to the left and entered the route.

The Soul King frowned as he saw this, knowing that entering one of the routes would eventually lead to either a chamber or a dead end, which made no difference for Cain since he would be trapped with them. Although the Soul King felt something was wrong, he did not hesitate before moving with Robert in that direction and commanding Talon to follow them.

In the end, the trio also entered the route and pushed their speed to the limit as they wanted to catch Cain and kill him sooner rather than later to avoid other surprises.

Cain moved at full speed, and whenever he saw a crossroad, the voice in his head would tell him the right path. He already knew it thanks to the power of The Flow, but the fact that the voice could direct him made his confidence in it grow.

He pushed faster and faster, but Robert was even quicker, and the distance between the two was once again reduced to a dangerous level. Whatever the destination the voice was directing him to, it seemed the Soul King would catch him first.

ʼDammit!ʼ

Cain shouted in his mind, but there was no hesitation in his eyes as he triggered Third Gear, improving his heartbeat and the speed at which his Blood Wings waved, exponentially enhancing his speed.

The Soul King saw how Cainʼs speed exponentially increased and showed pure rage as he struck Robertʼs head, improving the manʼs energy poolʼs output and allowing him to move faster at the cost of his life force. Clearly, the Soul King did not care what would happen to Robert as long as they could catch Cain.

Cain was bleeding from every orifice on his face as the blood vessels ruptured due to the pressure of Third Gear, but he carried on until he saw a massive chamber ahead, and what he saw in the center was a twister of sky-blue energy.

”The Mind Cosmos Chamber!”

The name of this chamber was the Mind Cosmos Chamber, and it was just as massive as the Astral Bloodline Chamber. As for the cyclone in the core, it was the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, a unique phenomenon that could help people train their Ego Wave and mental defenses.

The Mind Cosmos Chamber was actually one of the chambers Cain wanted to explore the most. Yet, right now, it was the worst, as the closer he got to the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, the stronger the impact on his mind, meaning he could not advance, and the path back was blocked by the Soul King, Robert, and Talon.

The voice in his mind had guided him to a dead end, and right now, there was nothing he could do, but he once again heard it.

ʼIf you want to survive, jump into the cyclone.ʼ

Cainʼs eyes widened as he heard those words. The closer you got to the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, the more pressure it would exert on your willpower. Being less than one thousand meters was the closest you could be without damaging your Ego Eternal Matrix, and getting into the cyclone was akin to suicide, yet the voice wanted him to do exactly that.

”Face your doom!”

As Cain contemplated the words of the mysterious entity, he heard the voice of the Soul King and saw him flashing with Robert, both charging all their energy and ready to kill. As for Talon, the man was moving under the shadow of the enhanced Kraken Clan warrior, and his energy was also ready to explode.

Ahead was a path with a near 99% chance of death, but that could be hiding a mysterious secret, while behind him was a path with certain death. Since that was the case, it was not hard to figure out Cainʼs next move.

Cain pushed his body forward at full speed, using everything he had as he dived toward the center of the Mind Cosmos Chamber. It did not take him long to reach one thousand meters away from the massive cyclone, and his mind was already under so much pressure that he was about to black out.

Despite the pain and feeling like someone was ripping his brain in two, Cain just clenched his teeth and pushed forward. It was at the 500-meter mark that he blacked out, but his body still carried a massive impulse, pushing him into the Mind Destroyer Cyclone.

The Soul Kingʼs eyes widened as he saw Cain diving into the Mind Destroyer Cyclone, as that was essentially suicide. Even if he passed out, the cycloneʼs power would still exert an inhumane pressure over his Ego Eternal Matrix until this one crumbled into nothing. Once that happened, Cainʼs mind, memory, and ego would cease to exist.
