The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 582 Crippling the Soul King (II)

”AHHHHHHH!!!!”

A scream of utter agony emerged from one of the most secluded and protected rooms in the Trinity Dark Towers inside the Zafire Sector, which was currently controlled by The Organization.

The Soul King had just woken from his meditation a few seconds ago, and immediately he began to scream in utter and complete agony as he grabbed his head while blood leaked from every single orifice in his face.

It did not take long for three figures to immediately appear in the room. The Void King, Shadow King, and Blood King stared at the Soul King with shock.

There was no damage on the Dark Kingʼs body, but the trio could feel the soul force of the man growing unstable, making it clear he had just suffered a severe spiritual wound. That was much worse than having his internal organs ravaged by destructive energies!

The Soul King was in so much pain that he did not even notice the trio and continued twitching on the ground and screaming as the agony did not cease.

A sharp look appeared in the eyes of the Void King and Shadow King, and they immediately put their hands over the Soul Kingʼs shoulders, restraining him while at the same time using their Ego Waves to force him into a coma. The duo wanted to help the Soul King, but the first thing they needed to do was stabilize his condition, and for that, they needed to stop the brain activity of the Dark King.

The Blood King did not move a muscle as he saw the duo helping the Soul King. It was not that he did not want to help, and truth be told, he was happy when he saw the Soul King trembling in agony, as he truly loathed the man.

However, the reason why the Blood King did not move a muscle was not animosity but fear. After the initial burst of happiness at the Soul Kingʼs agony, he remembered the mission of this one, and a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes as he realized the most likely culprit for the Dark Kingʼs condition.

”The... Scarlet King. He did it!”

The Void King and Shadow King narrowed their eyes as they heard the words full of terror coming from the Blood King. They were not fools and came to the same conclusion as the Blood King.

Neither knew how it happened, but the two Dark Kings were sure that the piece of the Soul King in the Hyperion Continent had been destroyed and the only one they could think could perform that feat was the young man they wanted to kill more than anything.

A flash of killing intent emerged in the Void Kingʼs eyes as he pictured Cainʼs face, but no matter how much he wanted it, he could not march into the Hyperion Continent and kill the young man. Especially not now that the Soul King would enter a coma and their battle power would reduce significantly, making the war much more complicated.

---

Unlike the Dark Kings, Cainʼs mood was great. He had just gotten rid of the threat in the Astral Bloodline Realm, and obtained great benefits, with the greatest being the Inheritance of Spirit from the Primordial Path.

”Help... me.”

Cainʼs eyes widened as he heard that voice and looked down, only to see the battle vessel of the Soul King looking at him with pitiful eyes.

”Oh, you regained your mind after the Soul King left. Interesting.”

The one that was begging Cain for help and that was used as the Soul Kingʼs battle vessel during the saga of the Astral Bloodline Realm was none other than Norkuo. The old man was still alive, but he would not be for long as his life force was fading away.

”Please.”

Norkuo could feel his life force vanishing and understood the identity of the man in front of him and the bad blood between them, but that did not stop him from begging. For the old man, there was nothing more important than survival.

”Your life force is fading and trying to save you is nearly impossible for me.”

Cain paused at this moment as the red mask fused back into his skin, showing his face. And on it, there was a smile.

”If I am honest, even if you were in perfect condition, I would still not let you leave this place alive. Goodbye.”

That was the last thing Norkuo heard as Cain tapped his head, and the next second the old manʼs skull burst to pieces, spreading pieces of brain everywhere.

Cainʼs smile did not fade after killing the man. Norkuo had targeted him, therefore his fate was sealed and it was just a matter of time before his life ended.

The moment anyone became his enemy, he would kill them. He did not care about their reasoning or background, only that they die. It was as simple as that for the Scarlet King.

As for blasting Norkuoʼs head, Cain was not a fan of gory scenes but he needed something inside the old manʼs brain. Cain looked among the brain matter and soon found a dark blue marble with millions of microscopic runes.

”This must be the treasure the Soul King used to contain that piece of his soul force. It seems very high level.”

Cain was impressed by the marble, but he did not know how it worked. However, that was not a problem, as he would gain all of the Soul Kingʼs memories after devouring the will of this one.

After storing the marble, Cain sent Norkuoʼs body into the [Demonic Devourer Dimension] before taking the space ring and computer ring of this one and flying back to the warriors of the Zanginis Clan and Solis Clan.

As Cain moved across the route at overwhelming speed, a profound expression appeared. He already had the soul force of the Soul King at his disposal, but obtaining the memories would not be simple.
