The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 929 You are challenging my authority?

The Red King showed no sign of worry or concern for the emotions of the aliens of Dark Sky or the warriors of the Sacred Races. Waves of light crossed his eyes as he absorbed everything from the Humanoid of Dark Sky consumed by the Lord of the Flies.

The light coursing through the Red Kingʼs eyes lasted for a few seconds before finally stopping, allowing focus to return to his gaze. He then looked at Horus and the rest of the aliens of Dark Sky for a moment before doing something that left everyone dumbfounded.

”Hahahahahaha!” A burst of laughter emerged from the Red King, causing his imposing and otherworldly aura to fade. However, it lasted only a few seconds before his emotionless eyes returned.

”Ahhh, I must thank you. It is complicated for me to experience this sort of amusement.” The Red King showed a faint smile as he stared at Horus and the rest of the Humanoids of Dark Sky before simply shaking his head. ”A group of mutated Sky Demons calling themselves Depravita. Thatʼs like a maggot calling itself a butterfly. It has been eons since I heard such stupidity.”

The Humanoids of Dark Sky glanced at each other in confusion, not understanding what the young man meant by mutated Sky Demon. Even the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky were perplexed.

However, Horusʼs reaction was different. He knew very well what those words meant, and despite the utter terror the entity in the sky provoked, the fanatic zeal in his heart pushed him to rage. ”How dare you call us Sky Demons! Our origin is connected to the Embodiment of Samsara and the Night of the Seven Sins!”

The Grand Humanoids and Humanoids of Dark Sky turned toward Horus with inquisitive gazes. It was clear that he was aware of secrets from their race that went beyond their knowledge.

The Red Kingʼs reaction was much different. The amusement on his face faded, replaced by utter apathy and boredom, as if he were looking at a child throwing a tantrum. ”Embodiment of Samsara and the Night of the Seven Sins. You throw around those titles as if they were anything more than fables for your kind.”

”Impossible. You know...” Horusʼs eyes widened as he heard those words, and a shocking train of thought arose as he stared at the monster in the sky. He did not dare to finish his words, as the implications behind them were too outrageous.

The Red King could see how Horusʼ psyche trembled and sneered. ”Hmph, if those two were to know you call yourselves Depravitas, they would puke blood. The utopian idiot would just burn all of you, but the vengeful prick would make sure none of you could experience the release of death.”

Horusʼs entire body began to tremble, and a sense of utter and absolute loss appeared in his eyes as he began to question one of his soulʼs deepest beliefs.

The Red King lost all interest in Horus after uttering those words, his eyes instead turning toward the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and the rest of the warriors of the Sacred Races.

Immediately, the members of the six races grew tense, and fear struck their hearts. The Red Kingʼs eyes projected a sense of apathy that was hard to describe, not to mention the gargantuan entity made of billions of flies still hovering above his head.

There was not a single shred of doubt in their minds that if he were to channel the power of that horror on them, none would be able to resist.

The Red King stared at the group for a few seconds as a meaningful light appeared in his eyes. It lasted a second, yet they had a trail of powerful emotions. ”Remain inside the light and heal there. If I see any of you step into the fog, I will consider you challenging my authority, and I will end your lives.”

The warriors of the Sacred Races felt relief upon hearing those words, as if a demonic god was giving them mercy. However, while most retreated silently, a few remained in the Dark Fog.

”You are challenging my authority?” The Red Kingʼs voice was eerily cold, and his eyes began to lose their light, causing the world around him to freeze.

He recognized those who remained in the Dark Fog from the memories of the devoured Humanoid of Dark Sky. While they were some of the most powerful warriors of the Sacred Races and influential figures in Aether, that meant absolutely nothing to him.

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor, Lord Kabuto, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and many others who stood in the Dark Fog couldnʼt help but tremble as a sense of terror flooded their souls, yet they stood firm.

”What has happened to our King!?” It took every ounce of will and determination in the Collapsing Lightning Emperorʼs soul to utter those words as he stared at the entity in the sky.

The Red Kingʼs eyes narrowed as, once again, a flood of emotions coursed through his eyes. He stared at the warriors who were hell-bent on their devotion to the Scarlet King.

An annoyed expression soon appeared on his face as he focused on this group, and the flashes of emotional light coursing through his eyes grew stronger and more numerous. In the end, the Red King just sighed before shaking his head. ”Ahhhh. You will get your answer once I am finished. If you still dare to defy me, there will be no more mercy.”

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor stared at the entity in the sky for a moment before nodding and signaling for the others to return to the radiance of the Anti-Dark Fog Tower. There was no reason to be stubborn and die a pointless death, so they would wait to see what had truly happened to the Scarlet King.

After all the warriors of the Sacred Races left the Dark Fog, the Red King turned his eyes once more to the aliens of Dark Sky and spoke in a chilling voice void of all emotions. ”You are a good tempering tool, but you have annoyed me. This arc has extended too long, and all of you should fade from this world.”

The Red Kingʼs voice echoed across the sky as the power of the demonic horror made of billions of flies burst, seemingly ready to devour all the aliens from Dark Sky.
