The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 787 Humanity Scarlet Shield and Sword

After a few seconds, Cain shook his head. He did not want all these responsibilities, but there was no one else who could bear them, and there were too many people that he cared about, so he could not leave them to their luck.

Cain turned to the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar. His eyes moved between them for a moment before finally settling on the older one.

”Gabriel, you will become the new Godslayer Humankind Emperor.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke was shocked and awed by those words, and he felt an immense sense of honor. At the same time, a complicated expression appeared on his face. Being the Goldslayer Humankind Emperor would carve his name for all ages, and it was the highest honor and virtue a human could attain, but taking that role meant he would have to step away from the side of the Scarlet King.

After all, the Godslayer Humankind Emperor could not go around engaging in fights and dangerous missions, sometimes away from all sight. Just as the man was about to speak, Cainʼs eyes grew sharp.

”I know you are reluctant, and losing your power will affect me, but it must be done. I need to know that even if I fade or cannot be present, there will be someone who can protect Gaia and the empire.

You will become the Humanity Scarlet Shield, the ever-present protection of the Godslayer Humankind Race. Your power will be known to all, acting as a deterrent.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke felt the immense pressure and responsibility of those words. However, his eyes soon began to glow resolutely, and a scarlet flame appeared.

Cainʼs eyes widened for a moment as he saw the scarlet flame. The Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs willpower had always been white, yet it changed to scarlet, showing the immense resolve and devotion in his heart.

The man did not utter words, but Cain did not need them, as looking into his eyes was enough to know. The Scarlet King then turned toward the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.

”James, you will become Humanityʼs Scarlet Sword. You will fade from the public eye, not showing your face again. I will do my best to strip away your information from the records to the point your existence will fade from memories.

You will become the sword of humanity, preparing yourself in the darkness for the time to strike. When you appear, it is when there is an enemy that must die as it threatens the entire Godslayer Humankind Empire.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar could not hide his shock at the task the Scarlet King had given him. He would be the counterpart of the Collapsing Lightning Duke, yet he would not receive any praise or honor. It would be a harsh mission that entails immense loneliness.

The responsibility itself was massive and could shatter the will of most men, yet the First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs eyes began to glow with scarlet flames the next second. He was ready to face the burden of becoming the Scarlet Sword of Humanity, honing his sword in the darkness just to show up when the threat required it.

”Use these days until the crowning ceremony to finish your business. After that, Gabriel, you will ascend to the throne, and James will fade from the Godslayer Humankind Empire.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar bowed toward Cain as they descended to the ground.

Once Cain was alone, his eyes began to wander around, trying to figure out his next move as a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

ʼI should end them once and for all.ʼ

After that thought appeared in his mind, Cain spoke to the Spirit System.

”Apex, given that the Mirage King and Doppelganger King were present at the beginning of The Great Cataclysm in the Silver City, could you use that to triangulate their current location?”

Since Cain already knew their location nearly four years ago, he wanted to follow their steps from that point to this day. They surely left the Silver City years ago. Still, if he could pinpoint the day they left and then analyze any new person that appeared in any other Sector during that window of time, and so on, he would eventually obtain the location of the duo.

It was a titanic task that required the calculation of millions, if not billions, of variables, but the current [A.I. Chip Module] should be able to do it with the correct guidance.

”I can do it, but I will have to use the full power of the [A.I. Chip Module], leaving only a small percentage free for the Scarlet Interface to continue being of use.”

Without the [A.I. Chip Module], Cain would lose access to Virtual Sight and many other functions, but that would be worth it if he could find the Dark Kings. Besides, Cain did not prepare to fight in the coming days, at least not in the traditional way.

”Do it, please.”

”Ok.”

Cain was sure that now that Apex was handling the mission, it was only a matter of days before he could get the location of the Mirage King and Doppelganger King. He just needed to know where the Dark Kings were, and then he would crush them like the insects they were.

With that taken care of, Cain turned his eyes toward the Silver City. Most buildings were wrecked due to the clash between Michaelʼs black hole and the Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs Gravitational Anchoring. However, three massive towers were soaring thousands of meters without a single scratch.

The Three Towers of Adam.

Those towers might be one of the few treasures that could still be useful for Cain, but not all three.

His Law Mastery had already reached a level above the highest tier of the Tower of Laws, and his understanding of Stellar Synthesis, one of the core principles behind the Star Sovereign Divine System, was higher than what the Tower of Stars could display.
