The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 435 Poisonous scheme (II)

[Dark Hand Communicate:

Old River has accused Silent Shadow of betraying the faction.

The trial will take place ten days from now in the Dark Hall at 9:00.

Judge: Dark Mask.

Juries: Golden Fist, Blood Claw, Poison Gem, Great Ocean, Dark Flame, and Final Echo.]

”Ten days, that is more than enough. You six enhance your battle power as much as possible. If I succeed, you will get great rewards, allowing your cultivation base to reach the Apotheosis Realm. If I fail to kill Dark Mask, I will escape, and all of you will die.”

A sharp light appeared in the eyes of Janiro, Old River, Red Hawk, Blue Crow, Specter, and Ghoul. They were not surprised by those words since they fit their leaderʼs personality.

They are weapons; if they fulfill their purpose, their master will upgrade them. If they fail, they will be discarded without a second thought.

The Scarlet King did not have more words for the group, and he went to a remote corner of the warehouse, where he took out the body of the Endless Poison Raven. The Grand King Beastʼs heart still worked thanks to his Blood Energy.

The Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber appeared shortly after and began to expand, growing large enough to hold the entire body of the Grand King Beast.

As soon as the Endless Poison Raven was placed in the chamber, the Scarlet King began to analyze its genome. The amount of information was too much even for the Scarlet King to study in a short period of time, but he used the [A.I. Chip Module] to assist him.

While the six Atroxs were using every second to improve their power, the Scarlet King worked on the body of the Grand King Beast. As for what type of alterations he was doing to it, everybody would know in time.

Old River stood in the sky above a large forest, and in the distance, he could see the presence of a giant volcano. This place was not special, as the amount of Life Wave in the air was little, and the Wave Beasts around barely reached the Peak Wave Champion. No one would know it was the secret meeting place of a Tier 1 Dark Faction with the power to level cities in seconds.

There was a solemn expression on the manʼs face as he gazed at the space ring in his hand. He understood the danger of what was going to happen but had already delved too deep into the path of that monster, and there was no way back.

Old River took a deep breath before injecting a vial into his neck. Immediately, his body began to tremble, and his face grew pale, but other than that, there was no significant alteration or anything people could discern just by looking at the man.

It did not take long for Old River to reach the sky above the volcano, and a dense ash cloud covered his sight. He did not hesitate for even a second before diving down. The magma temperature was dangerous even for a Wave King, but his Essence Wave could hold on long enough.

Old River dived down for a few seconds before reaching the end of the lava and crossing into a dark metallic hall large enough to hold more than one hundred people without a problem.

A solemn light appeared in the Atroxʼs eyes as he looked to the ceiling and saw the floating magma that not only blocked all signals from the outside but also scanned everyone and everything that came in contact with it. Not even the dimensions inside space rings were safe from its power.

After a moment and seeing that no alarm was triggered, Old River relaxed, and a smile full of pride appeared on his face as his eyes burned with white light.

His eyes had a sense of purpose that he had not felt in a very long time as he was about to fulfill one of the greatest desires of his heart.

There were only five minutes until the deadline, so Old River was the last to arrive, and he could see a group of Atroxs with impressive armor at the edge of the hall, all of them speaking.

Old River saw a young Atrox female with a slender complexion among the group. Unlike him, she was not using Bio Armor; instead, black artifacts covered her body entirely, but she did not hide her charming face with pointy ears and pale skin.

As soon as Old River saw the woman, a flash of rage and killing intent emerged from his eyes. It had been long since this hatred had festered inside his heart, and now he could finally set it free.

Silent Shadowʼs eyes narrowed as she looked to the ceiling, and her eyes gazed upon Old River. There was a flash of coldness in the womanʼs eyes as she stared at Old River, but it soon turned into a mocking smile, and she did not bother with him too long and continued to talk with the rest of the upper echelon of Dark Hand.

Normally, seeing Silent Shadow talk so comfortably with the jury would enrage Old River, but he knew this was nothing but an elaborate play.

ʼHmph, keep talking, you bitch. Soon, I will get my revenge. I want to see your smile when your entire body is rotting!ʼ

Old Riverʼs killing intent burst, but it suddenly froze as he detected a figure descending from the floating magma. He was a man with a bursting vitality, donned in dark golden armor with a black mask covering his face, showing only his eyes that glowed with blue light.

Immediately, Old River descended to the ground and bowed, and he was not alone since Silent Shadow and the rest of the Atroxes did the same. The reason was simple; that man was none other than Dark Mask, the Leader of Dark Hand, an Apotheosis Realm Master!
