The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 749 Diamond Saint Duke

There was a massive city on the border of the Prometheus Sector known as Diamond Saint City, the heart of the Diamond Saint State, and it was under the control of the Diamond Saint Dukedom. The current leader was the first son of the Diamond Saint Duke, Kober.

Kober had a youthful appearance with dark hair, green eyes, and a lean yet muscular body. At under two hundred years old, he had already become an Early Divine Ascension Master and was progressing toward the Middle Stage.

In Aether, anyone who managed to become a Divine Ascension Master before turning three hundred years old could be considered a genius. They had a high chance of reaching the Peak Divine Ascension Rank and possibly rising forward if the correct lucky chance presented itself.

Despite Koberʼs talent and background, he had a solemn expression, and he could not hide the nervousness and apprehension in his eyes, which were due to the people who were currently marching toward the Diamond Saint State.

Although the pressure was immense, Koberʼs eyes glowed with silver light as he prepared for the silent clash that would soon happen.

”¡BOOM!”

However, a wave of shock appeared on Koberʼs face as he saw how the gates to the throne room were blasted open. Immediately, a cold light appeared in his eyes, as no matter how strong the other side was, if he allowed them to bully him like this, he would be embarrassing his familyʼs name.

”Who do you think...!”

Kober could not finish his sentence as the one who appeared was someone he could not disrespect.

”Father!?”

The one that appeared was a middle-aged man with a very similar appearance to Kober but a much larger and muscular body.

The Diamond Saint Duke was considered one of the most influential figures in the south of Gaia, being regarded as the counterpart of the Collapsing Lightning Duke. He was a True Titan and the leader of the Diamond Saint Sector, the southernmost Sector of Gaia.

A sharp light appeared in the Diamond Saint Dukeʼs eyes as he stared at his son, and Kober immediately rose from the throne and performed a deep bow.

”Father, why are you here? Is everything in order back home?”

Although the north of Gaia had the highest level of destruction and desolation after The Great Cataclysm started due to the war with the Inferno Daemon Race, the south did not have it easier either. The horde of Wave Beasts that emerged from the Endless Ocean killed many and forced the Diamond Saint Duke to mobilize all his troops to establish order.

Yet, just as the Diamond Saint Sector was gaining a semblance of stability, the underworld acted like ravenous dogs, attacking every city and population center in the south, with the Dark Kings going on a murderous rampage.

Although the Diamond Saint Duke did not fear the Dark Kings or the power of The Organization, unlike in the north of Gaia, where they led an army, their only goal in the south seemed to be to sow chaos, destruction, and death, hiding at first sight of a clash.

The Diamond Saint Duke was full of rage, but there was little he could do. He lacked the intelligence network to trap the Dark Kings. While the Imperial Court was surprisingly generous with soldiers, the information their intelligence network provided was useless and sometimes counterproductive.

Even a fool would realize there was a problem with the Imperial Court as the Golden Emperor did not show his face, and a new Prime Minister came into power just as The Great Cataclysm started.

Although the Diamond Saint Duke wanted to discover what was happening in the capital, his hands were full with the chaos in the south.

Kober knew his father was the spiritual leader of the north, and the one that kept the situation from exploding, so seeing him here was shocking.

”Hmm, what problem could there be since those cowards now do not dare to come out of their holes? They are dying like flies, so I guess it makes sense that they are hiding, but still, I would really want to get my hands on one of them.”

Disdain appeared in the Diamond Saint Duke as he uttered those words, and it was clear how much loathing and killing intent he had toward the Dark Kings.

Koberʼs eyes widened, and a smile appeared on his face as he realized that the situation in Gaiaʼs south had finally stabilized. But it did not take long for a solemn expression to once again appear on his face as he understood the reason why the Dark Kings were so terrifying. It was the same power that would reach the State anytime now.

”The Scarlet King is truly terrifying. Although he is stationed in the Azure Sector, his shadow extends all the way to the south, terrifying the Dark Kings.”

”He already killed six of them and forced the Void King to run away with severe wounds. If they did not fear him, then they would be stupid.”

A solemn light appeared in the Diamond Saint Dukeʼs eyes as he uttered those words, and Kober silently nodded as he understood why his father had rushed from the south toward the State.

”I know your skills, my son, which is why I left you in the State despite the erratic situation in the capital. I trusted you could handle it and be my eyes in the capital, but the Scarlet Alliance is something completely different. I assume you heard what happened with the Golden Roc State.”

Kober smiled a small smile as he heard his fatherʼs encouraging words, but he did not lose focus and immediately nodded.

”I heard that the Scarlet Alliance besieged it, and they are currently isolated from the rest of the Prometheus Sector.”

The Diamond Saint Duke softly shook his head before speaking somberly.

”The Golden Roc Duke and most of his family were butchered. It happened so fast that the entire Golden Roc State was isolated before the news could even spread.”
