The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 618 Space Sword

”The Scarlet King seems to know a lot about our clan.”

Kamora, the other female Divine Ascension Master from the Fenrir Clan, spoke for the first time, her eyes conveying a profound inquisitiveness about why the Scarlet King knew so much about them.

Amalia turned to the Middle Divine Ascension Master, her eyes shining with a powerful sense of belief and conviction.

”Nothing can hide from the eyes of the Scarlet King, at least not for long.”

The conviction in the eyes of Kanon and Ekatory mirrored that of Amalia. It had become a core belief within every warrior of the Scarlet Inquisition Force that the eyes of the Scarlet King encompassed the entire Deus Behemoth Empire.

Xina, Kamora, and Garon couldnʼt conceal their awe at the trioʼs devotion. In just six months, the Scarlet King had instilled such faith in the hearts of a million soldiers, including Ten Titans. They could only describe someone of that caliber as a monster. Yet, Xinaʼs gaze hardened as she continued.

”If you understand the significance of the Cosmic Tyrant Framework, you should also comprehend why we cannot hand it over. There is only one copy in Aether, with Garon and I using it to train, so we cannot lend it to the Scarlet King.”

Amalia recognized the determination in Xinaʼs eyes and knew the woman meant those words. Despite the implications of sending dozens from the Fenrir Clan to prison, the Cosmic Tyrant Framework represented the clanʼs entire power base.

”I can see your conviction regarding this matter, but please donʼt rush to make a decision, especially since we havenʼt finished our offer yet.”

With that, Amalia waved her hand, and a broad sword materialized in her grasp the next second. It might appear ordinary to anyone else, but to the Divine Ascension Masters of the Fenrir Clan, it was anything but simple.

”A Space Sword. Why do you have it?” Xina asked, her voice cold with suspicion. The weapon in Amaliaʼs hands was another treasure related to the Astral Bloodline Realm but different from the Cosmic Tyrant Framework.

The Space Sword that Amalia had in her possession was a treasure the Fenrir Clan spent a lot of wealth and time creating.

First, a group of youngsters from the Fenrir Clan would place the sword in a special location of the Astral Bloodline Realm, known for its space energy, and leave it there after the dimension closed.

Hundreds of years later, when the Astral Bloodline Realm opened again, a new group from the Fenrir Clan would search for the sword, which would have evolved into a unique treasure capable of immense power.

During the past Astral Bloodline Realm event, it was Rodrickʼs groupʼs turn to search for the Space Sword left in the previous dimension opening. After a lot of hard work, they found it, but the youths from the Gravitas Clan, led by Norton, attacked them and tried to steal it.

A member of the Fenrir Clan named Lorta ran with the weapon while Rodrick and the others faced the members of the Gravitas Clan. Yet the woman vanished, and the group could not retrieve the weapon.

After the Astral Bloodline Realm closed and Lorta was nowhere to be found, Rodrick and the others believed it was the Gravitas Clan that killed her and informed Xina of all that happened.

The Patriarch of the Fenrir Clan came to the same conclusion as Rodrick and intended to forcefully retrieve it from the Gravitas Clan in the future.

However, upon seeing the Space Sword in Amaliaʼs possession, the three Divine Ascension Masters from the Fenrir Clan began to believe it was Cain who killed Lorta and took the treasure.

While the Space Sword was important for the Fenrir Clan, there was no way they would accept negotiating it for the Cosmic Tyrant Framework. That would be like saying it was fine to kill their people, steal their treasure, and then use them to trade with them.

Amalia felt the pressure of the trioʼs rage and killing intent but did not lose focus. Instead of speaking, she sent a new file to the computer rings of Xina, Kamora, and Garon.

The trioʼs eyes were still sharp and flashed with hostility, but they maintained rationality and opened the video file. It showed the fight between Cain and the Soul King, making it clear that the one first in possession of the Space Sword was not the Godslayer Human.

Xina, Kamora, and Garon glanced at each other. According to the video, the one who killed Lorta and stole the weapon was the Soul King, and then Cain stole it from the man after destroying the battle vessel that was Norkuo. However, this type of evidence could be manufactured.

Amalia saw the suspicion in the trioʼs eyes but was not worried because the Scarlet King had not just given her the Space Sword but something else as well. She waved her hand again, and a white metallic coffin appeared this time.

Xinaʼs eyes narrowed as she saw the coffin. Without opening it, she waved her hand, making it float toward the trio, who used their Ego Waves to inspect the inside and saw the corpse of a young woman.

A flash of sadness appeared in the eyes of Xina, Kamora, and Garon as they recognized Lortaʼs corpse. Thanks to their Ego Wave, they could see the wounds in the womanʼs mind and soul dimension, making it clear that the person responsible for her death was a master of the soul.

The young woman was very talented, but she was unfortunate to have stumbled upon the path of the Soul King. The Dark King had preserved her body, as she was a useful puppet, but Cain did not follow that path, so he sent her back to her clan.

Xina waved her hand, storing the coffin to give the young woman a proper burial later. Then, she glanced at Kamora and Garon, and the eyes of the trio began to glow as they spoke telepathically.
