The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 946 The Final Battle / Flames through Atlasʼ sky

While Horus was the first to detect them, it did not take long for the rest of the Depravitas in the hall and around the temple to feel the aura of the hundreds of warriors of the Sacred Races entering Lovecraft City. Horusʼs shock was mirrored in their eyes as they could not believe what they were witnessing.

It was not the fact that the warriors of the Sacred Races could enter that shocked them. After all, while the dimensional sphere that contained Lovecraft City was essentially impervious to outside attacks, it was connected to the main plane of reality, so entering it was simple for someone with a high mastery of the Law of Space, such as the Scarlet King.

What truly astounded them was that the Scarlet King and Sacred Races would dare to invade Lovecraft City. This was the domain of the Depravita Race in Aether, a fortress full of billions of drones at their disposal, and flooded with Depravita Essence, a resource they could use to constantly regenerate.

The Sacred Races had the home advantage outside, practically besieging the entire dimension and restricting the movement of the Depravitas. Yet they gave up all that and marched into a battlefield they were doomed to lose. No matter how you looked at it, it did not make sense.

Horus knew all too well that the Scarlet King was not to be underestimated; if anything, he was one of the most cunning adversaries he had ever encountered. So, it was a chilling thought that he might enter the headquarters, where the Depravita Race would have the absolute advantage since it meant there was something he was not seeing.

ʼWait! Could he?ʼ A sense of panic began to rise in Horusʼs eyes as he remembered the destruction of Lovecraft City in Kronos. He had seen how the Scarlet King summoned the Time Tribulation to shatter the dimensional barrier but was not worried about such an event happening to his Lovecraft City.

After all, Atlasʼ Lovecraft City had undergone countless evolutions over the years, and the power of Law Tribulations could do nothing to it, even if hundreds of warriors would trigger it simultaneously. The tribulationʼs power would simply spread across the entire dimension barrier and lack the strength to do real damage.

However, Horus knew there was one type of tribulation that might be powerful enough to break the dimension barrier, and if someone could do that, it would be the Scarlet King.

”YOU DARE!” Horus roared in hatred and anger as he marched out of the dark temple like a bloodthirsty meteorite, and the rest of the Depravitas soon followed him.

It did not take long for the fifteen Depravitas to gaze at the hundreds of Sacred Races warriors with their own eyes. At the head of them was a young man, his entire body radiating power and vitality.

Cain saw Horus and the rest of the Depravitas marching toward him, and a cold smile appeared on his face as his three eyes began to glow with a red glow, each emanating a radiance that shed a crimson light across the entire dimension!

”Noooo!” Horusʼs voice, filled with a mix of fear and desperation, echoed through the air as he saw those red eyes burning with willpower, ready to explode. He knew perfectly well what they would trigger, and the realization only deepened his fear. Unfortunately, no matter how much he wanted to stop it, he could not.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

A thunderous explosion echoed across Lovecraft City so powerful that it made the ears of all inside ring. Its origin came from the sky above the dimensional sphere, where a gargantuan, swirling, tempestuous storm of fire, with flames that shifted through a spectrum of colors, each hue representing a different facet of psychic energy, spread for 9 kilometers.

However, that was just the first layer. The next second, a second layer of multicolored flames 81 kilometers wide emerged, followed by a third layer 729 kilometers wide!

Horusʼs march froze as he heard that explosion. He gazed at the ceiling of the dimension, his vision piercing through the dimensional barrier and focusing on the sky with a sense of shock and disbelief. ”Impossible! How can the third layer be so massive?”

The more powerful your willpower, the more potent the Ego Destruction Tribulation would become. For those with a soul force at the Divine Ascension Realm, it could trigger a Nine Heaven Ego Destruction Tribulation.

However, that tribulation would generate nine layers, with the first being 9 kilometers, the second 18 kilometers, the third 27 kilometers, and so on, until a final 81-kilometer layer appeared.

Horus had never heard of an Ego Destruction Tribulation like the one unfolding above Atlas right now. Instead of doubling in size, it was growing exponentially, and he could not help but freeze in sheer terror as he saw how the fourth layer was six thousand five hundred and sixty-one kilometers wide!

The Depravita feared that the Scarlet King would trigger a Nine Heaven Ego Destruction Tribulation, but what was happening was so much worse. Finally, the ninth and last layer appeared, extending for three hundred eighty-seven million, four hundred twenty thousand, four hundred eighty-nine kilometers!

The multicolored storm of fire, composed of nine layers of pure psychic energy, was so majestic and immense that it practically covered the entire sky of the Atlas Continent!

All the Depravitas gazed at the sky of the Atlas Continent, not only Horus, and the terror and dread in their souls were unimaginable. They were entities born of emotions and psychic energy, so a tribulation meant to destroy those aspects of existence was terrifying beyond belief.

The warriors of the Sacred Races also detected that tribulation, but unlike the Depravitas, their eyes were full of awe and wonder. As they turned to the young man in front of them, smiles full of thrill appeared on their faces. Determination and devotion rose in their hearts as they knew he would lead them to victory!
