The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 830: Divided, we will be slaughtered

Cain made it out of the Dark Fog just in time, and his eyes widened as he saw the gargantuan figure that had just crashed into the battlefield. It was hundreds of meters tall, and the physical power it unleashed was so massive that the fabric of space around him shattered with a single move of his body.

The newcomer was also a Humanoid of Dark Sky, and his massive eyes gazed at Cain with coldness and killing intent. Despite the physical power that the gigantic Humanoid unleashed, Cainʼs eyes only unleashed a sense of pure brutality and not even an ounce of fear.

Although that dive had the power to kill him, Cain could see that massive size also came with drawbacks, and one of them was simply awful agility. It did not matter how strong the gigantic Humanoid of Dark Sky was if it could not touch him.

The gigantic Humanoid of Dark Sky focused on the Scarlet King for a few seconds before turning to the side, grabbing the unconscious Defense Humanoid, and walking deeper into the Dark Fog. The Speed Humanoid and Strength Humanoid did not remain behind, giving one sharp glance at the Scarlet King before leaving.

Only after the gigantic Humanoid of Dark Sky vanished from his sight did Cain allow his body to relax, and waves of pain and exhaustion immediately assaulted him. Despite the tiredness, he could not relax yet, so he took a deep breath, controlling the energy of the Nine Void Suns.

Slowly, Cain took out the Nine Void Suns from his body, and the next second, he aimed his hand forward and shot them into the Dark Fog.

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

Nine massive explosions echoed inside the Dark Fog, illuminating the realm of darkness and mystery and killing everything in their range.

Cain did not believe such obvious attacks could harm the Humanoids of Dark Sky, but they would definitely take care of many of the Insect Army waves coming toward him, sparing him the bothersome task of killing those mindless drones.

After taking care of the Nine Void Suns, Cain focused all his power on the Radiance of Life, focusing on the Concept of Life, as he sought to fix his wounds and stabilize his condition. While the damage to his right arm was the most obvious, the truth was that every joint and muscle in his body was damaged.

The Nine Void Suns Battle Form was nothing short of a majestic technique, able to deploy the full spectrum of Cainʼs talent in Astral Wave, Essence Wave, Lineage Power, and Laws. However, his physical body had yet to reach the point where it could endure such stress.

Cain knew that he would need a much stronger foundation if he wanted to truly use this ability in a battle and not as a last-resort trump card. Unfortunately, that was more complex than just rising to the Divine Ascension Realm.

After all, once he entered into contact with the Inner Universe and Star Sovereign Divine Systems, his Astral Wave, Essence Wave, Lineage Power, and Laws would strengthen, improving the power of the Nine Void Suns. If he wanted to fully use the ability, he would need an improvement in power that went from the core of his essence and stood outside the realms of the Paths of Power.

ʼEven if I were to reach the Fourth Level of the Cosmic Tyrant Framework, it might not be enough. I must rise to the Primordial Pathʼs Ascension Realm to achieve a powerful enough foundation.ʼ

Cain had spent a lot of time meditating over the Ascension Stage, focusing on Orbital Alignment to synchronize his bodyʼs internal energy with the celestial bodies and Stellar Meditation to temper his mind and spirit, but it was hard to break through.

The Foundation Stage was easy for Cain, and he could advance at a simply monstrous speed, so he initially thought that the Ascension Stage would be the same, but it was clear that would not be the case.

It made sense; while the Foundation Stage was powerful, it was a phase of the Primordial Path that could be considered in the Physical Realm, while the Ascension Stage should be in the Soul Realm. Given that the Ascension Stage would grant him a Primordialʼs Soul Realm foundation, it was no wonder it was so hard to achieve.

As all those thoughts crossed Cainʼs mind, his right arm finally improved. There was still internal damage, but from the outside, it looked flawless.

Cain raised his arm and clenched his fists before a solemn and profound light appeared in his eyes.

”Divided, we will be slaughtered.”

The powerhouses of the Godslayer Humankind Empire and Inferno Daemon Empire were shocked by those words. They had been silent all this time, wondering what conclusion the Scarlet King would reach after facing the Humanoids of Dark Sky, and it was not one that made them happy.

”Are you suggesting our empires fuse their strength?”

The one who broke the solemn and somber atmosphere was Zero Mint, the only person in the group who did not seem to see the problem with the idea of working side by side.

Even if they were facing a cataclysmic threat, the Godslayer Humankind Empire and Inferno Daemon Empire had been enemies for thousands of years, killing each other, and there was too much bad blood.

Not attacking the Inferno Daemon Empire when they faced the Dark Sky was one thing, but helping them fight this new threat was too much for the powerhouses of the Godslayer Humankind, especially after the last invasion war.

Although they had all seen the power of Dark Sky and understood the logic behind joining their forces, logic was one thing and emotions another.

”Together, we could fight, but we will lose and die.”

However, the Scarlet Kingʼs prediction shocked them once more. It seemed that even working together, they would fail. Then, what path was there besides extinction?
