The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 798 Rewards

Prime Minister Minxetʼs entire body trembled with awe and excitement, but he stood firm and did not lose himself as he bowed to the Scarlet King.

”I live to serve the Scarlet King and the Godslayer Humankind Empire.”

Cain glanced at the man and nodded before generating a cocoon with his Ego Wave around this one and releasing the 21 Revolution Flame.

Prime Minister Minxet did not waste time, adopting a meditative position inside the red cocoon as the flames covered his body inside and out, triggering a flood of world energy.

Now that Cainʼs Ego Wave had grown much stronger and more massive, his speed of thought and willpower were much greater than before, so the 21 Revolution Refinement not only went without a problem but was extremely fast.

All eyes focused on the translucent red cocoon, and they could feel Prime Minister Minxetʼs foundation growing much more powerful. Every second that passed, their desire grew stronger, as they wanted that lucky chance for themselves, and the only one who could grant it was the Scarlet King.

Once the 21 Revolution Refinement was over, Prime Minister Minxet opened his eyes, and awe and wonder appeared in them. He had grown even younger, but that was the least important thing, as he could feel his cultivation base vibrating and full of power and strength.

With enough time and resources, reaching the Peak Apotheosis Realm and becoming a Divine Ascension Realm would not be a problem, improving his lifespan to more than ten thousand years!

A man could have many ambitions, but all of them were reduced to two at the end: strength and life. And the Prime Minister now had both within reach!

Despite the shock and thrill, Prime Minister Minxet did not lose focus. His eyes sharpened as he bowed again toward the Scarlet King and then walked forward, standing next to the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.

Silence reigned for a few seconds until Prime Minister Minxet took a parchment from his space ring.

”Jonas Kerlon, Leader of the Mercenary Coalition, step forward.”

When Prime Minister Minxet uttered his name, a man slowly walked toward the throne. He measured nearly three meters in height and had a massive physique, with a cultivation at the Late Divine Ascension Realm, a Titan.

Jonas was an unruly yet charismatic and strong powerhouse who worked in the Imperial Army for hundreds of years before becoming independent. He did not take the Noble Path but instead formed his own organization, the Mercenary Coalition.

Although Jonas usually only obeyed his own rules and did not care about anyone, this time, he acted with extreme elegance. He did not dare to break his stance and had to keep decorum in a place like this. He stood fifteen meters away from the throne before performing a deep bow.

”Jonas Kerlon humbly greets the Scarlet King and your Majesty, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.”

Cain did not move or speak on this occasion since there were rewards that did not need his interference.

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor made a sign, signaling Jonas to stand straight before speaking.

”Jonas Kerlon, your role in saving the civilians of the Silver City and capturing the loyal yet misguided Imperial Force in the city is worthy of praise. You are now given control over the Azure Royal State to use as you please, as well as all the riches and titles that come with it.”

Jonas smiled, full of gratitude, as he bowed once more. A Royal State carried massive wealth and very few responsibilities, so it was perfect for someone like him. With those riches, the Mercenary Coalition could grow mightier, and he could push his cultivation to the Peak Divine Ascension Realm.

”I humbly accept this great reward. Eternal glory to the Scarlet King and the Godslayer Humankind Empire.”

Jonas stood up before returning to his seat, and then Prime Minister Minxet opened the parchment once more.

”Oran Sky-Flame, Sky Flame King, step forward.”

Like that, more and more names were being uttered, giving all sorts of rewards to the people that stepped forward, some small, others greater, and there were times Cain himself handed the reward.

Finally, Prime Minister Minxet uttered the last name on the list.

”Gladius Hellblazer, Hellblazer Sector Duke, step forward.”

The Hellblazer Duke walked forward until he was fifteen meters away from the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and bowed.

”Gladius Hellblazer humbly greets the Scarlet King and your Majesty, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.”

Silence reigned after the Hellblazer Duke bowed, and since the Emperor did not speak, he did not dare stand straight. Seconds passed, and he started to grow nervous until finally, the Scarlet Kingʼs voice appeared.

”Stand.”

The Hellblazer Duke did as told and glanced at the Scarlet King with both expectation and fear. The Hellblazer Familyʼs past was tumultuous, to say the least, and while they made no obvious flaw during The Great Cataclysm, they also did not help much when the entire continent was in danger.

”Hellblazer Duke, your inactivity during The Great Cataclysm is a great irresponsibility. However, you saw reason, and your family was of help during the diplomatic process that led to Prometheusʼs control before the Silver Cityʼs invasion.”

The Scarlet Kingʼs voice reigned before a defining silence, all of them waiting to know what would happen with the Hellblazer Family.

”You will retain your titles, domains, and honor. However, from now on, until the end of your days, the Hellblazer Family will become the Shadow of the Chief Counselor Minxet. You are his weapon and shield, protecting him from enemies and killing those he commands.”

While becoming a Shadow might sound like a punishment to some, many of the powerhouses present could not help but envy the Hellblazer Duke.

Gladius, on the other hand, smiled. It was clear how much value the Scarlet King gave him to Prime Minister Minxet. After all, this man was the only person to have the Scarlet Emblem. Being the guardian of such an entity carried all sorts of benefits.
