The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 870 Silent World (I)

Cain showed a small smile as he nodded to the man. Dark Mask had been a faithful servant during his stay in Kronos, and even if it was a transactional relationship, he preferred the man to help him out of his true volition rather than to force him.

Of course, if Dark Mask had refused after seeing the Dark Sky, Cain would have simply hypnotized him and obtained all the information he wanted. The real problem would have been what to do with the man after receiving the information, but luckily, he did not have to make that decision.

”Tell me, what is the current state of Dark Hand?”

As soon as Dark Mask heard that, he sighed deeply before explaining.

”We have received severe wounds, and the number of our warriors is at an all-time low. Things went into a downward spiral after the event with Blood Pathʼs laboratory.

Blood Path was furious due to the loss of its Divine Ascension Master and its laboratory and began attacking all the Tier 1 Dark Factions involved. Silent World would have protected us, but they were also very dissatisfied since the mission was a complete failure and left us to our fates.

Ghoul, Blue Hawk, and Janiro perished. As for Death Tide, he helped me survive an ambush a few months ago and is currently in a coma.”

Cainʼs eyes immediately narrowed, and the light in his eyes began to fade. These warriors joined his side several years ago because they had no other path, and some had even tried to kill him, so as a Master of Order, he should not care in the slightest if they perished.

Even if they worked hard and fought on Cainʼs side, he should not care. But a sense of rage arose in his heart that ignited a murderous wrath that he found hard to contain.

”Bring me to Death Tide.”

Dark Mask froze for a moment as those emotionless eyes full of brutality were too much to handle. Still, he immediately shook his head and nodded, bringing Cain to a small room in the headquarters of Dark Hand, where an Atrox was floating inside a Recovery Capsule.

There were all sorts of wounds on Death Tideʼs body, and there was a piece of his skull that had been shattered, proving just how dangerous his last battle was.

”I have used all the power of Dark Hand to help him, but the most I can do is to stabilize his condition.”

Cain nodded to Dark Maskʼs words, and the next second, his eyes glowed as he covered Death Tideʼs body with his Ego Wave and took the man out of the Recovery Capsule before flooding his body with bright golden flames.

Dark Maskʼs eyes widened as he saw how those bright golden flames began to heal the wounds in Death Tideʼs body that even the treasures of a Tier 1 Dark Faction could not do.

It was not hard to fix the broken bones and regenerate the tissues of Death Tide using Radiance of Life, but the damage to the man was too severe for only the bright golden flame. However, Cain did not waste time and generated a red cocoon around Death Tide before sending in a flame with 20 colors.

Dark Mask could not hide his shock as he saw that flame with 20 colors. The man saw the giant waves of world energy that flooded the area, and the next second, he felt Death Tideʼs vitality and brainwaves growing stronger.

”Explain to me what is happening with the underworld.”

Cain could perform a 20 Revolution Refinement and speak with Dark Mask without a problem.

”Yes, Leader! The Tier 0 Dark Factions are acting weird, and they seem to be preparing for something great. Silent Worldʼs upper echelon had ignored me for years, only demanding their tribute, yet now they command I must march into their headquarters to have a meeting.

I am not the only one since the leaders of all Tier 1 Dark Factions are summoned, and if we do not attend, we will be branded as traitors.”

It was easy to see the hatred and loathing in Dark Maskʼs eyes as he recounted the order directive from Silent World.

The Tier 0 Dark Faction left him to his luck as the forces of Blood Path were attacking him, but he still had to pay tribute to them, and now they demanded his attendance at a meeting, and if he refused, he would be branded a traitor.

Silent World practically left him to die, yet now Dark Mask had to act like a good dog and attend their meeting. If not, they would brand Dark Hand as a traitorous Dark Faction, making him and the entire organization a target for the underworld. What kind of joke was that?

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he saw how hasty that meeting was, and it was not hard for him to get an idea of just what type of things Silent World wanted to discuss with its Tier 1 Dark Factions. He was sure Blood Path and Godʼs Doom would also have those sorts of meetings.

”I guess they gave you a meeting point.”

”Yes. I must be at the border of the Platinum Sector, at the entrance of the Endless Caves. Someone was supposed to be waiting for me there.”

Dark Mask paused at this point and stared at the Scarlet King for a moment before speaking.

”Should I attend?”

Although the idea of attending the meeting with those hypocritical bastards from Silent World sickened the Atrox, he was willing to comply with Cainʼs command.

”There is no need. Give me the direction, and then gather the forces of Dark Hand and lay low for the next few weeks. I will tell you when to emerge.”

Cainʼs voice was serene, but Dark Mask could perceive a monstrous coldness. While not attending the meeting would mean Silent World would mark him as a traitor, something told him he would not have to worry about any of that.
