The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 581 Crippling the Soul King (I)

Cainʼs eyes burned with red light as he set his Ego Wave ablaze, using its full power to neutralize the energy inside the battle vessel, so the Soul King could not blow it up. Destroying the fragment of the Soul King present in the Astral Bloodline Realm would surely harm the Dark Kingʼs true soul, but sealing it would do much more than that.

After all, even if Cain was not proficient in the soul path, there were great masters in the Deus Behemoth Empire, and any of them could use the fragment of the Soul King to do a lot of damage to the man through curses or other types of skills.

The Soul King understood all that, which was why a sense of horror appeared in his gaze upon seeing the red force field flooding Norkuoʼs brain, where the core of his incarnation was present.

If he allowed Cain to seal his soul force and take him out of the Astral Bloodline Realm, who knows what type of damage would his true soul in Gaia receive once the masters of the Deus Behemoth Empire get their hands on it?

However, it did not take long for the horror in the Soul Kingʼs eyes to turn into pure and monstrous hatred as the soul force in them burst with power.

”Fucking brat, you asked for it!”

A massive amount of soul force emerged from the Soul Kingʼs eyes the next second, all marching directly into Cainʼs mind and his soul sea.

The Soul King was a True Titan, a life form with a cultivation base at the peak of the Divine Ascension Rank who could unleash power at an even higher level. Even if the piece of him inside the Astral Bloodline Realm was just an incarnation of soul force, the power it could unleash would be disastrous.

Yet, upon seeing that soul force marching toward him, the only emotion in Cainʼs eyes was thrill, and he shut down all his defenses, allowing the Soul Kingʼs soul force to pierce into his soul sea directly.

A dark blue electromagnetic force field pierced into Cainʼs soul sea and while it seemed like a seamless agglomeration of soul force, someone powerful enough could see that it carried spirituality, more specifically the will of the Soul King.

The Soul King was shocked to see he managed to seamlessly pierce into Cainʼs soul sea so easily. Honestly, he did not believe he could truly reach the young manʼs soul sea and only wanted to harm him and avoid being sealed.

Although it was shocking and filled him with confusion, a dark and twisted joy appeared in the Soul King as he could harm Cainʼs soul, and maybe even possess the young man, obtaining control over the most talented existence in Aether.

Unfortunately for the Soul King, before he could even make a move, a gargantuan golden hand appeared and began to enclose the dark blue force field.

ʼWhat!ʼ

The Soul King had invaded the minds of hundreds of life forms across his life, including that of True Titans and Gods, but he had never seen something like this. It made no sense to see such a massive golden hand inside the mind of an Apotheosis Realm Master.

The power behind the golden hand was so immense that the Soul King felt totally and absolutely powerless in front of it. The hand had not even enclosed the dark blue force field and he already lost all control of his soul force, being paralyzed and at the mercy of the golden entity.

”Do not harm it. Just seal it. I need the ego and will inside that soul force to be intact.”

Just as the golden hand was about to obliterate the dark blue force field, a voice echoed inside Cainʼs soul dimension, coming from none other than the Alter-Ego.

The gargantuan golden hand froze for a second as it heard those words, and the next moment its destructive power changed into a sealing force. The Soul King could do nothing as golden runes began to appear all over the dark blue force field, and it did not take long for this one to take the form of a golden blue sphere floating on top of Cainʼs soul sea.

Once that was over, a second voice echoed across Cainʼs soul sea, and it belonged to none other than Apex.

”You can use your Alter-Ego to influence your soul, so it means your willpower has evolved beyond the limits of the Apotheosis Realm. You turned twenty just a few days ago and you have advanced so much. Very good, brat.”

”Hahaha.”

A laugh emerged from the Sun Seed, something odd for Cain, showing just how thrilled he was with his ploy to work. Sealing the Soul Kingʼs soul force inside Norkuoʼs mind was just trying his luck and he was not very confident in his ability. His true goal was for the Soul King to invade his soul sea, as there was a force that could seal even beings that inhabited the Astral Sea.

”I assume you want to obtain the Soul Kingʼs memories.”

Apex immediately understood the reason why Cain would not allow him to immediately destroy the Soul King.

Cain had the Gluttonyʼs Eye, an incredibly powerful ability that allowed him to obtain the memories of others. However, if he wanted to obtain the memories of the Soul King, Cain needed to consume the will and ego of the man.

”You are right. I am done playing the offensive with The Organization, but if I want to destroy them I need to learn more about them. By the way, is the Soul King able to interact in any way with this soul force?”

”Hmph, brat, who do you think you are talking to? The moment I sealed him, I severed any connection from this soul force with the main source. Actually, the damage the Soul King endured from the seal, is not any less than the total destruction of the dark blue force field.”

Cainʼs thrill only increased as he heard those words. He was sure that the Soul King was not having a good time right now.
