The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 923 Mind Severing Ritual (I)

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor, Angar, and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar were displaying broad smiles full of thrill as they felt the radiant light from the towers washing over their bodies when they saw a figure appear out of nowhere and blast the Scarlet King.

The entity materialized without warning, and none of them perceived him until after he struck and sent the Scarlet King flying away into the Dark Fog. The attacker was clearly a Humanoid of Dark Sky, with an imposing metallic body nearly five meters tall, golden eyes burning with powerful intent, and a complete lack of detectable energy.

The Humanoid of Dark Sky exuded an aura that was on a completely different level, instilling a sense of terror in the trio. His presence was akin to death itself, a threat they couldnʼt ignore.

No matter how powerful and terrifying the enemy was, the trio were not cowards. Their eyes burned with red light as they prepared to flash into the Dark Fog and attack the alien who dared to strike the Scarlet King.

The Humanoid of Dark Sky saw their intent to fight and readiness to march out of the radiant light and attack him, but he only smiled. He looked at the three top warriors of the Sacred Races as if they were mere children, posing no threat to him at all.

”Stay inside!”

Just as the trio prepared to engage, a voice full of will and power echoed across the battlefield. It was the Scarlet King, rising from a crater, a small trail of blood marking the damage from the last attack. Yet, his eyes burned with defiant red light, a testament to his unwavering power.

Cainʼs eyes were cold as he rose to the sky and gazed at this new Humanoid of Dark Sky. He had faced seven other aliens simultaneously for over an hour, and due to the defensive power of his body and the Fallen Archangel Battle Set, none of them had managed to wound him. Yet, this new alien came out of nowhere and, with a single blow, made his internal organs tremble.

Of course, his Pseudo Immortal Body healed all the damage immediately, but that did not erase the fact that this new Humanoid of Dark Skyʼs power was in a completely different league. That was why he shouted for the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and the others to remain inside the radiant light.

”Although I had to hide my aura and power until the last second, that attack still carried most of the power this body could unleash, yet I only gave you a slight wound. I guess killing you while confined to this armor was impossible.” The Humanoid of Dark Sky stared at Cainʼs rising figure, and his eyes showed killing intent yet also a flash of interest.

”I wonder just what kind of secret you held to have reached this level in a Seed World.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he heard the words of the Humanoid of Dark Sky, but he focused more on how he said it rather than what he said. ”Finally, you show up. Should I call you Horus, or do you prefer something else?”

Murderous intent, so horribly powerful and pure that it nearly froze the air, emerged from the Humanoid of Dark Sky as he heard those words from Cainʼs mouth, but it immediately faded as he began to smile.

”A talent of one in a quadrillion, a mind as sharp as a space storm, and a destiny that keeps rising. Had you broken through the Crystal World and reached the Nine Empyrean Suns, who knows how high you would have risen?” The Humanoid of Dark Sky did not answer Cainʼs question; he only used his words to praise and simultaneously taunt the young man.

ʼNine Empyrean Suns? The universe that contains the Astral Sea?ʼ Cain could not help but dwell on those thoughts. He felt he was in danger, but while very few things could affect his focus, his curiosity about the world beyond the Crystal Wall was one of them.

However, the next second, Cainʼs eyes immediately grew sharp, and all unnecessary thoughts vanished from his mind as he detected six other figures appearing around him. They did an excellent job hiding their presence, but after Horusʼ sneak attack, he focused all the power of the Absolute Life Form System into the [Multidimensional Scan Force Field].

ʼAssassination? It doesnʼt seem like it. They are more powerful than the normal Humanoids, but they are far from being able to take my life, especially since they will not be able to chase me if I leave the Dark Fog.ʼ Cain was trying to find the end goal of Horus and these six other aliens showing themselves at this moment but could not find it.

Just as Cain was trying to figure out their moves and decide his next step, he noticed over one hundred warriors appearing next to the Anti-Dark Fog Tower. All the powerhouses like the Emperors, Lord Kabuto, Lord Zanginis, and the others had come here, most likely summoned by the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.

However, just as the greatest forces of the Sacred Races had gathered around the Anti-Dark Fog Tower, the other thirty-two Humanoids of Dark Sky had also assembled in the Dark Fog. Each side glanced at each other, keeping the other at bay, as they focused on their leaders.

Cainʼs instincts began to warn him of even greater danger, and while he was still curious, it was not wise to fight these new enemies in his current condition, so he flashed toward the radiant light coming from the tower.

The Dark Fog hindered his teleportation due to its effect on the Laws, but it did not stop him from twisting space, reducing the distance he had to travel.

As soon as Cain acted, trying to flee, Horus and the other six Great Humanoids of Dark Sky flashed toward him. Something shocking happened, as energy suddenly coated their hands in white flames.
