The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 759: Prime Minister Minxet

[Name recorded

...

Lineage: Sun Master.]

Cain nodded as he saw the new name, feeling the power of his new Lineage. The best part was that it perfectly synced with his current battle style, so there was no need for any change.

After addressing the shocking news of his new Lineage, Cain went through the rest of the information and was pleasantly surprised to see how his strength and vitality improved significantly.

ʼThat is most likely due to the refining power of the Fire Tribulation and the force of my new Lineage.ʼ

Cain was happy with these changes, but the one that truly surprised him was his Essence Wave. His energy pool rose immensely after the Essence Star overcame those cycles of destruction and reconstruction, making his stamina much higher.

His Fire Law reached the Extreme Law Integration, and while it was at the bottom of that Tier, it was considered the peak of Aether since no one had ever shown mastery above that level. As for his other Laws, they were still at the Deep Law Integration, which made sense after all. Overcoming that Tier was incredibly difficult, even with divine treasures like the Space-Time Eye.

There was also a slight reduction in the effect of his Wave Enhancer Virus, but Cain was not surprised. The stronger his cultivation base and constitution became, the weaker the effect of the Wave Virus would be on him, and the fact that it still was above 20% was excellent news.

Cain took a deep breath, and a wave of heat emerged the moment he exhaled. Then his Space-Time Eye glowed as it unleashed its full power, and he vanished.

All the powerhouses above the Azure State had been focusing on him, so they saw how he vanished, only to appear above them the next second.

Immediately, the Collapsing Lightning Duke, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and the powerhouses from the Scarlet Alliance knelt in the sky, lowering their heads in the presence of the Scarlet King.

Cain nodded to the great general, and then his eyes turned toward the nearly one hundred Divine Ascension Masters in the sky that came from all over the States.

In the next second, Cain unleashed all his power, generating pillars of Astral Wave and Essence Wave with so much energy that the sky began to tremble, and cracks formed in the space around his figure.

Those Divine Ascension Masters had lofty status and commanded great power, yet as they gazed at those eyes glowing with golden flames and the power of space-time, they felt themselves in the presence of an actual divine entity. The difference between their power was too much, and even those like the Diamond Saint Duke felt a crushing pressure.

All those people knelt in the sky the next second, lowering their heads before speaking in unison.

”We salute the Scarlet King!”

Cain remained silent and kept increasing the pressure his body unleashed, making sure it would be engraved in the mind of every one of those Divine Ascension Masters before finally calming his energy.

The next second, fifty-two of the sixty-two State Lords received a message through their A.I. Chip. Just as they wondered the purpose of that message, Cainʼs voice echoed across the sky.

”That is your mission. I need a cordon around the Prometheus Sector. From this day on, no one can get in or out without my authorization.”

Cain made a pause at this point as coldness flooded his eyes.

”I will not tolerate failure.”

Upon hearing those words, a shiver ran down the backs of all the Divine Ascension Masters. The Scarlet Kingʼs power was already clear to all, and he was a monster in his own league who could kill any of them with a single move.

Despite having gone all the way to the Azure State, with many State Lords bringing their family elders, they all nodded and bowed to the Scarlet King before leaving, ready to push themselves to the limit in order to complete that mission.

Once they left, only ten State Lords and their companions remained. They all glanced at the Scarlet King with curiosity and tension since it was clear there must be a reason why they were not sent off like the rest.

”We must speak in private.”

That was the only thing the Scarlet King said to the State Lords before turning his eyes toward the Scarlet Allianceʼs great generals.

”Gabriel, James, with me. The rest, return to your post and stand guard.”

Once they heard their names, the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar flashed toward Cain while the rest of the great generals bowed before flashing down toward the ground.

Not wanting to waste time, Cain led the group to the Azure Royal Castle. In less than ten seconds, they were in the throne room. The State Lords and their companions were surprised to see an old man already waiting there.

He seemed very old, with a bald head and many wrinkles. Usually, cultivators would retain their youthful appearance until the last period of their lives, and that was the case with this man.

However, what surprised the people was not the old manʼs age but his identity.

”Prime Minister Minxet, what are you doing here?”

The one who spoke was none other than the Diamond Saint Duke, but he expressed the doubt that was in the mind of everybody present.

Although the new Prime Minister had not publicly gone against Minxet, everybody knew the old man and his family were trapped inside the Silver City and could not leave.

”Hello, Diamond Saint Duke. I am glad to see you again, although I would have liked it to have been under better circumstances.”

Prime Minister Minxet smiled toward the Diamond Saint Duke before giving a small nod, not saying another word and instead turning toward the Scarlet King.

The rest of the people in the room also turned toward the young man who sat on the azure throne.
