The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 761: Why take them out?

Smiles appeared on the faces of The Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King as they heard that. Since the Scarlet King could determine the date on which a formation was installed, he would know whether it was after or during the era in which their family had control over the Silver City.

As for how the young man was capable of that, they had already accepted he had access to all sorts of unique powers, so they just took it as a new one. The duo waved their hands and produced two starry gems without wasting time. These were usually meant to save Saint Techniques, but they could also be used to store other essential information.

Cain took the two starry gems and nodded to the two Kings before glancing at the others. While The Eternal Mountain King and Sky-Flame King surely had the most crucial and profound knowledge, the others present should also have some understanding of the Silver City, and he wanted it all, no matter if it was redundant.

All the powerhouses had also come prepared for this request, so they all took out starry gems and sent them toward Cain.

Once that was over, Cain carried on with the second mission.

”The second reason I need all of you is to find a way to diminish the number of collateral damages during the incoming clash. I will be careful during the incursion and try to limit my power to the true enemies, but I donʼt believe the new Prime Minister will be so careful.”

Cain made a small pause at this point as he remembered the figure in the Atlas Continent and the goals this one seemed to search for.

”Actually, I think the new Prime Minister would try to ensure that there are many civilian casualties during the fight. That may be even more important than winning the battle against me.”

A somber expression appeared in the eyes of the powerhouses as they heard those words, and they felt the certainty in the Scarlet Kingʼs voice. They knew that the new Prime Minister was the source of much chaos, and it was evident by now that this one was involved in some way with The Organization. However, the fact that he would go as far as to ensure civilian casualties was shocking and worrying.

Taking down the new Prime Minister and Imperial Court was a must, but if they did it in the wrong way, all of the Godslayer Humankind Empire would be drawn into chaos and mayhem for decades.

If the faith in a correct system of power fell, warlords would rise, and the underworld would thrive, while the Sector Dukes would begin to clash with each other for a bigger piece of terrain and expand their borders.

The Scarlet King was extremely powerful, but he was just one man and could not be in all places at all times. Not to mention that killing is not always the right path to stability and could cause even more chaos.

”I want to hear your plans and ideas. No matter if they are flawed. You are all free to express your opinions and plans.”

Cain was not so narcissistic as to think he was flawless in every aspect. While his power was greater than all present, that did not mean his imagination and intelligence were also grander. Different people have different skills, and a good leader knows how to harness that.

”Mmm, we could try to take the people out of the Silver City, but even now, there are still dozens of millions inside after all the people that left during the past few years. Taking even a quarter of them will be nearly impossible as the new Prime Minister has already closed the teleportation formations and sealed the gates.

Trying to build new teleportation formations that connect the interior of Eden with the outside is also impossible, as the new Prime Minister already unleashed the space-tampering force field.”

The Eternal Mountain King spoke with a solemn voice, and his analysis of the situation was very precise, making it clear his wits were just as great as his muscles.

”Maybe we could infiltrate the Silver City in silence and slowly take them out. It would take us a few months, but if we all work together and synchronously, we should at least be able to bring half of the civilians out.”

Another of the powerhouses spoke, and while his plan was clearly flawed in the sense that six million people were still inside the city during the clash, there was no such thing as a flawless plan at the moment.

More and more ideas on how to take the people out of the Silver City were displayed, but even the best of them were just able to take two-thirds, leaving millions still in peril. After all the powerhouses had given their opening, a voice echoed across the room.

”Why should we take them out of the Silver City?”

The one who spoke was none other than Prime Minister Minxet, and all eyes turned toward him, including those of the Scarlet King.

Despite being glanced at by so many powerhouses, the old man remained calm and gazed at the Scarlet King, only continuing after the young man signaled.

”Indeed, we cannot teleport the millions of civilians out of the Silver City as there is a barrier that prevents teleporting in and out. However, what if we use the teleportation formation not to take them out but instead send them to someone else inside the Silver City?

There are structures inside the Silver City, such as the Crafting Associationʼs Endless Pyramid and the Genetic Coders Associationʼs Genetic Evolution Cube, capable of holding millions of people and whose defensive capability can withstand the attacks of True Titans.

If we transport all the civilians into those structures and ensure their safety during the time the Scarlet King takes down the Imperial Court, we could reduce the number of civilian casualties to virtually zero.”
