The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 297 Titanʼs attack

Death!

That was the only outcome Cain would give those who attempted to take his life, especially if they did it in such a disgusting way as Zimaʼs sneak attack.

Cain was able to relax, allowing his senses to capture everything happening around, not just the enemy in front of him. He immediately felt a burning sensation on his face, as if the sun had suddenly burst with power, and his instincts were screaming danger like crazy.

There was shock on his face as he looked into the sky and saw the High Blood Elder looking at him with wild rage and madness. The Titan had already made his energy explode and was in the process of sending what could only be described as a palm strike capable of splitting atoms.

Cain knew that killing Zima would enrage the High Blood Elder but never expected things to escalate to this level. What he failed to see due to the state of his senses was that after countering Zimaʼs sneak attack, the High Blood Elder rose to the sky, shouting for him to stop.

Everybody was shocked by the actions of the High Blood Elder, and before they could react, Cain had already killed Zima, and the old man sent a palm strike whose power matched that of the surface of the Old Worldʼs sun.

The Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 were stunned by what was happening. Regardless of their personal feelings for the High Blood Elder, they always considered the old man a meticulous and cold-minded enemy. Never did they expect this one to act as a rabid dog, especially while the eyes of the empire were in the Blood Sea

As soon as they saw that palm strike emerging from the High Blood Elder, the duo flashed out of their seat with so much speed and force that they broke them, using all their power to reach Cain.

However, every powerhouse watching the scene knew they would not make it in time.

Cain stared at the plasma blood palm about to land on the battle arena, destroying everything, including him. This time, no one would save him, and he had finally reached the end of his journey.

People reacted in many different ways when death arrived. Some felt fear and regret, while others shouted with fury and rage, but very few were able to rise above those primitive emotions.

A small smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he saw that his end would come in the hands of a Titanʼs attack. He clenched his right fist and punched forward. It would not make a difference, but even in his last moment, he would fight!

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!”

The moment the plasma palm reached the platform, it destroyed everything, leaving a sea of red plasma that hindered everybodyʼs vision.

No one could see the corpse of Cain, none that it mattered very much since that attack should have pulverized his body, just like the effect of a nuclear bomb on a normal human.

Silence reigned after that blast since people in the amphitheater were still trying to process what had just happened. Even those in the Purist Path that hated Cain and wanted him dead could not believe what the High Blood Elder had done.

The powerhouses on the podium of the Purist Path were the most concerned of all. They knew several forces across the empire were seeing this battle, and the actions of the High Blood Elder had tainted the name of the Blood Sea and their movement.

Even if they promulgated the ideology of being self-sufficient, the members of the Purist Path still understood they needed certain relationships with the rest of the empire. However, who would trust and believe them now that their leader killed a young genius during a tantrum?

That was just one of the problems since Cain was a member of the Imperial Lightning Fort and disciple of one of the Nine Pillars. Everybody knew the temper of the Collapsing Lightning Duke and Zarak Valentine, and there was no way those two would simply ignore the death of someone so important to them and the army.

Just like the powerhouses of the Purist Path expected, Zarak did not react calmly to what he saw.

At first, Zarakʼs eyes widened with shock, and as he felt the power of the sea of red plasma where the battle arena used to be, he understood that there was no way Cain could have survived them.

”¡BOOM!”

Zarakʼs Ego Wave burst with power as a blue force field rose into the sky like the hand of a divine demon full of killing intent. As killing intent flooded the air, storm clouds covered the entire Imperial Lightning Fort, extending for hundreds of kilometers.

The rest of the Pillars saw Zarakʼs Ego Wave rising into the sky with shock and awe. It immediately reached twenty thousand meters, but that was far from its limit.

25.000.

27.000.

29.000.

31.000.

32.400.

32.700.

32.900.

Finally, Zarakʼs killing intent, rage, and determination reached their zenith, making his Ego Wave burst to the next level.

33.000!

Zarakʼs Ego Wave experienced an evolutive change when the blue force field reached thirty-three thousand meters. The rage vanished from his eyes, only to be replaced by a coldness that could freeze the blood of anyone that gazed at them.

The blue force field soon pulled back into Zarakʼs body. As he contained and stabilized all that power inside his Ego Eternal Matrix, he turned his eyes toward the Blood Sea, ready to march forward.

”Please, wait a moment.”

Just as Zarak was ready to march into the Blood Sea, Luther appeared in his path.

”Are you going to stop me?”

Zarakʼs voice was cold as he clenched his fists, and a monstrous blue light appeared in his eyes.

Luther saw that, and his eyes narrowed before softly shaking his head.

”I can no longer stop you. However, there were plans put in motion by the Collapsing Lightning Duke in case of something like this before Cainʼs departure. Just wait a few minutes, and you will understand.”

---

Bloodless #1 stared at the plasma sea for a moment with shock before his face twisted with rage before he focused on the High Blood Elder.

”You fucking traitor!”

The rage in Bloodless #1 heart was so much that he shouted those words without care for the ones listening.

The Blood Duke did not say a word, but his eyes glowed with killing intent as he focused on the High Blood Elder.

Under the cold gazes of the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1, the High Blood Elderʼs eyes regained their focus, and there was a flash of shock. It was like he was just realizing what he had done.

The old man stared at the Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 for a moment before glancing at the powerhouses of the Purist Path, inciting this one to rise into the sky.

Although the powerhouses of the Purist Path were disturbed by the actions of the High Blood Elder, they did not hesitate to answer his call.

The actions of the powerhouses of the Purist Path incited a reaction from those of the Integrationist Path, and soon dozens of Wave Kings were in the sky of the Blood Sea.

Bloodless #1 saw a thin middle-aged man appear next to the High Blood Elder and could feel the power of this one matched his own.

”Second Blood Elder.”

Despite the enemyʼs strength, Bloodless #1ʼs coldness and killing intent did not diminish, and he was ready to fight.

”Do not haste. No one wants a fight that could harm the Blood Sea.”

The High Blood Elder spoke those words while looking at the people of the amphitheater, widening the eyes of all the powerhouses on both sides.

Usually, when powerhouses of their level enter a battle, they would rise to the highest level of the sky, so innocent people would not become collateral damage. That was an unspoken rule among powerhouses that one would respect even when facing enemies from the Dark Races.

The Blood Duke clenched his fists as he understood that the High Blood Elder would not simply rise into the sky but would have to be pushed there. Although he had the power, his attacks would send shock waves that might endanger the life of everybody that was not a Wave King.

Pure disdain appeared on the faces of the powerhouses of the Integrationist Path as they gazed at the High Blood Elder. That man had spent nearly one hundred years shouting about the importance of keeping the Blood Sea safe but did not hesitate to use the life of their people as a shield.

The High Blood Elder showed little concern with how those powerhouses saw him and focused on the Blood Duke.

”I understand that my actions will generate some troubles in the Blood Sea, but we must be wise about it. That boyʼs death is irrelevant to us, and I sincerely doubt someone would dare to antagonize us just for it.”

Just as the High Blood Elder prepared to continue his speech, a voice echoed across the amphitheater.

”Who are you calling dead, you old bastard!”
