The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 955 Facing the Ego Destruction Tribulation

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

An explosion of overwhelming proportions took place as the dimension that held Lovecraft City came crashing down into the main plane of existence. The two fabrics of space collided with such might that it blasted up the entire Sectorʼs landmass to pieces!

Just as that explosion occurred, the sky trembled, and a red force field with hundreds of people appeared.

Cainʼs face was pale as he was forced to consume nearly every ounce of his energy to perform that massive group teleportation. He had to wait for the explosion to begin, when both space fabrics collided, as that would push the tribulation flames away, allowing him to teleport into the sky.

Luckily, that exhaustion soon faded as he was still enjoying the outburst of energy emanating from the Void King. In a few minutes, his energy and life force would be restored.

The faces of the rest of the warriors of the Sacred Races were also pale. However, it was not the exhaustion that left them like that, but the destruction that had just happened beneath them. Had they remained inside that blast, the only ones left alive would have been those with Pseudo Immortal Bodies.

Things did not just end with that explosion that took out the entire Sector since the blast triggered a massive seismic event that created massive craters, severed some of the northern Sectors in half, and left enormous crevasses from which tons upon tons of lava emerged. It was truly a destruction without precedent that could have killed anyone incapable of flying.

The destruction affected the members of the Inferno Daemon Race more than anyone else. They had defeated the invaders, but the toll of the war in their home was heavy, scarring it for who knows how many decades or even centuries.

Luckily, that destruction took place in the north, which was devoid of civilians, and no one beneath the Apotheosis Realm was even allowed in that area, even after the rise of the Anti-Dark Fog Towers. The warriors of the Sacred Races were at least able to take comfort in that.

”You all should put some distance now.”

The warriors of the Sacred Races were still recovering from the shock of the cataclysmic destruction that assaulted the north of Atlas when they heard the words of the Scarlet King. All turned to the young man with doubts, but that immediately dissipated as they looked at the higher sky and saw the raging fiery storm that had begun to concentrate its power around his figure.

The eyes of all the warriors widened as they understood that the unique Ego Destruction Tribulation that the Scarlet King had summoned and that helped them destroy the headquarters of the Depravita Race would now begin its true purpose.

A solemn expression appeared on all the warriors as they looked at that fiery storm covering the sky of the entire continent. The Sacred Race warriors knew that the Scarlet King was a unique life form, capable of the impossible, and with a body more resilient than a Sector, but this was a phenomenon that could take out an entire continent!

However, no matter how much they wanted it, none of them could help Cain, and they all began to move away, flying to the perimeter of the destroyed Sector, far enough so they would not be caught in the crossfire of the Ego Destruction Tribulation.

Something peculiar happened as the warriors of the Sacred Races flew away, and two groups began to form. One consisted of those from the light camp and another from the dark camp, and they put distance between each other.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he saw that division between the warriors, but he was not surprised. The war against Dark Sky had given them a common enemy they could all rally against, allowing them to push away their past problems, as they were meaningless in the face of a force that could consume all of Aether.

However, Dark Sky and the Depravita Race no longer existed in Aether. While the years of fighting side by side had diminished the racial tension between the Sacred Races, it was not enough to wash away all the animosity that had lasted for thousands of years.

The first step into a unified world had begun since all races now saw the Scarlet King as the higher life form and supreme authority, but there was still a lot to do for the true and absolute unification of Aether.

ʼLuckily, I already have an important piece in place.ʼ Cain focused on the figures that seemed to be the heads of both sides.

In the light camp was the Collapsing Lightning Emperor. The man was not only the leader of the Godslayer Humankind Race, the strongest of the races with four of the Stars of Doomsday in it, but he was known as an extremely honorable man, the right hand of the Scarlet King, and a warrior of immense power.

As for the figurehead of the dark camp, that was none other than Zero Mint. Although it was true that he had an antisocial personality, it had grown less intense over the years of war, and he was recognized as the strongest warrior of the dark camp and someone whom the Scarlet King trusted greatly, so they took him as a leader.

What none of them knew was that Zero Mint was the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, so using the man as a key for unification and to avoid any future fights was the perfect move. The best part was that no one suspected it, since no one in Aether believed there could be someone so scheming as to prepare for the end of the war before it even began.

ʼAnyway, I will handle that later. First, I need to survive this.ʼ Cainʼs eyes grew focused as he gazed at the flaming storm that covered the continentʼs sky, his eyes calm and firm, no longer bothered by anything else but the incoming tribulation.
