The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 845 Dark Fog Immunity (I)

”Hahaha, that old man does have some interesting ideas.”

Cain paid close attention to the response of the warriors on the frontlines as he implemented the Ouroboros System, and the conversation between Prime Minister Razputin and the Dark Emperor certainly caught his attention.

The primary purpose of the Ouroboros System was to motivate the warriors on the frontlines. Still, it was true that he was also aiming for the favor and gratitude of the Inferno Daemons, as that would make the future of the war easier.

”Children, huh?”

Cain could not deny that the idea of descendants from other races would also make things easier. Of course, people would not follow a drag, but anyone born of his blood would have a mighty Lineage, not to mention that they would inherit some of his Primordial qualities.

However, things were more complex as Cain would not spread his seeds so easily, and even as a Master of Order, a child would be an extremely dangerous spot and not something he could allow himself in a war.

He shook his head, disregarding those thoughts, and instead turned to the scoreboard showing the Ouroboros Points of everybody fighting against Dark Sky. The numbers were advancing at a shocking rate, and if they kept it up by the end of the week, all the immediate rewards would vanish from the warehouses, but that was not a problem.

After all, Cain could obtain more by sending the Insect Army corpses into the Samsara Flame. Ultimately, he would give back the Gifts as rewards through the Ouroboros System and keep the Merit, improving his Rebirth Mark, so there was only a net gain for him.

Of course, the delayed rewards, such as the Revolution Refinement, did require Cain to act, but he made sure to keep the number of points for that extremely high and put some checks in place so the number of people who would take it would not become so high that he could not manage it.

The only point in the Ouroboros System that would require actual effort on his side would be the Top Score Reward since that would ideally be a Tier I Gift, and those were challenging to obtain.

ʼLuckily, this monthʼs Top Score Winner will be the Collapsing Lightning Emperor disguised as Zero Mint, and I would just be giving the Abyssal Frost Falchion in disguise.ʼ

The Ouroboros Systemʼs point was completely objective, and not even Cain had access to alter the numbers, but he was sure that the Collapsing Lightning Emperor would win, as the manʼs power was the highest, and he could enter the Dark Fog to fight and unleash attacks without care for collateral damage.

Cain took a deep exhale as he felt a great weight lift off his shoulders. Everything was in order, and he felt he had just taken the first step beyond the battle of attrition, carving a path to victory. There was still a lot to do, but everything was moving forward.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he adopted a meditative position in the sky of the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer, inhaling the Soul Enlightenment Mist as he focused on the genetic sequence from the Insect Army.

The Scarlet Kingʼs forces would grow stronger, but they would have to enter the Dark Fog if he wanted to step onto the path of victory. The Humanoids of Dark Sky were the most immediate threat, and if they wanted to improve their chances of survival, it would be ideal if the Dark Fogʼs origin energy no longer weakened them.

Cainʼs focus reached its peak as he began to work, emptying his mind of everything else except the genetic sequence. He was trying to transform it into a Wave Virus that would help Godslayer Humans, Inferno Daemons, and all the other Sacred Races gain immunity to the origin energy inside the Dark Fog.

Only after a week did Cain allow his mind to break its concentration and relax. He had yet to succeed, but there was no problem, as it would be a while before they went into the Dark Fog. As he rested, he silently left the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer and headed into the Ouroboros Headquarters.

Everything was in order, and soldiers of the Inferno Daemon Race and Godslayer Humankind constantly came in and out as they exchanged their points for rewards. Prime Minister Minxet did a great job supervising everything, and the people in charge did not show any bias and adhered to the rules.

Cain nodded as he saw everything in order. He then headed into a small room full of space rings. He took them with him before returning to the [Samsara Arsenal Module] and entering the Samsara Sacrificial Ground.

Those space rings were full of corpses from the Insect Army, and the amount was nearly five times higher than the previous week, showing just how motivated the warriors of the Inferno Daemon Race and Godslayer Humankind were.

Immediately, Cain sent the millions of corpses into the Samsara Flame, generating a stream of Soul Enlightenment Mist to cover the First Layer, but much more importantly, produce a massive amount of Fortune that flooded the ceiling of the sacrificial ground.

Over 95% of the Fortune transformed into golden spheres, giving birth to dozens of Tier II Gifts and hundreds of Tier III Gifts. That would be enough to satisfy all the rewards for the Ouroboros System for next week.

Cain was pleased to see so many Gifts, but the next second, he adopted a solemn expression and took a deep breath as the rest of the Fortune transformed into Merit, which fused into the Rebirth Mark.

Waves of pain assaulted Cain, but he just clenched his teeth and endured as the runic lines of the Rebirth Mark expanded across his chest, reaching into his left shoulder. It took a while for all that Merit to be consumed by his Rebirth Mark.

ʼAll that Merit and it did not advance to the next Tier. Tier IV is not easy to attain.ʼ
