The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 1864: Mind and Soul as One

Divine Calamity’s eyes widened in disbelief.

That had been a full-powered ArchDeity spell—unleashed not through some lesser Omega Avatar, but from his true body and with the power of his Inner Universe. And yet, Cian had not only stopped it... he had ripped it in two.

The sight of that burning scarlet flame in the Scarlet King’s eyes—infused with soul force—left no room for denial.

”You’ve reached Mind and Soul as One...” Divine Calamity muttered.

It was unthinkable. A man not even two hundred years old had reached one of the deepest, most unfathomable levels of cultivation along the hardest path— the Ego Eternal Path of Power. It was absurd. It defied logic, history, and all understanding of talent. And yet, the truth blazed before him. At least in the Path of Ego Eternal, the Scarlet King had reached the level of an ArchDeity, and an extremely powerful one at that.

Cain paid no mind to Divine Calamity’s shock. A faint smile crossed his lips as he heard the roar of his Alter-Ego echoing through his Soul Dimension. The Lord of Conquest Leviathan had awoken from his slumber—now evolved to a realm far beyond anything he had touched before.

Power surged through Cain’s body and soul like a tidal wave, yet his focus remained unbroken. This was an ArchDeity-level battle, and everything could be decided in a single second, so there was no time to even blink.

Clasping his hands together, the Star of Origin on his forehead blazed with radiant light. His eyes burned with psychic energy, and his Inner Universe resonated with the strength of his unique Laws. With the aid of the Absolute Life Force System, Cain had formed something that no one else possessed—a unified battle system that combined all his Primordial Path, Path of Conquest, and Inner Universe into a singular, devastating force.

The broken remnants of the black hole hovered before him, but under his command, they began to spiral and condense into his palm. All that energy now obeyed him, and under his control, it began to evolve.

The Scarlet King forged all that energy into a gravity-encoded singularity lance, layered with cosmic mass and infused with the imprints of his will.

[Collapse Core - Tyrant Spiral Singularity: Fusion of Collapse Ray Spiral + Devouring Core Singularity + Earth Root Furnace.]

The system’s robotic voice echoed through Cain’s mind as a satisfied smirk curled his lips. But there was no delay—not even a pause.

He planted his feet into the very fabric of reality, using space-time as a launching surface, and with the full force of his Primordial body, he fired the lance.

The lance roared through existence, drawing in ambient energy, star power, and gravitational mass, growing stronger with every passing second. Its gravitational pull began warping the environment around it as it advanced to its target at a speed that surpassed light.

Divine Calamity snapped back to focus. The aura of the incoming lance screamed danger. Channeling the full might of his Inner Universe, he forged his own counter—a spiraling lance composed of compressed gravitational energy. There was no room for hesitation.

With a furious shout, Divine Calamity launched his own Collapse Ray Spiral forward.

The two lances collided in a cataclysmic explosion.

Reality fractured.

Time warped.

The sky itself seemed to scream as the collision birthed a storm of space-time ruptures that exploded outward, only to collapse inward again. Destruction and rebirth, implosion and explosion—it was a cycle of chaos unleashed.

Despite Divine Calamity’s superior grasp over the Abyssal Singularity Scriptures and Laws, his attack could only match Cain’s thanks to the overwhelming might infused into the Scarlet King’s Concept and the primordial forces backing it.

Finally, the equilibrium between the two spears shattered.

A massive void tore through the fabric of space, releasing a raw burst of energy that swept across the sky and ignited the ocean below.

Divine Calamity squinted through the blinding storm, momentarily shielded from the carnage by the eruption itself.

And then his heart stopped.

Cain emerged through the energy wall, piercing the veil of chaos with a terrifying presence. Despite the wounds across his body, etched by the explosion’s devastating force, the Scarlet King wore a savage smile.

He was above Divine Calamity—perfectly poised for the strike.

Cain’s muscles tensed, divine veins pulsing with raw might as he channeled all his strength into his right palm. It seemed as if he were holding up the sky itself.

And then—

He brought it crashing down.

Divine Calamity’s eyes flared with rage and desperation. Once again, he saw Cain use abilities so evolved and refined, they bordered on incomprehensible.

”Gravimetric Pulse Rend!” the ArchDeity roared.

A gravitational field erupted around him, pulling in a massive portion of the ocean beneath and compressing it into a pulsing shield of warped water and mass.

The very sky and sea—each commanded by a different titan—clashed in a display of divine warfare that shook reality itself.

”RUMBLE!”

Waves of annihilating force exploded outward. Space cracked. Light distorted. And movement itself warped.

Divine Calamity glanced at his surroundings. Massive cracks in the fabric of space and waves of destructive energy blasted in all directions, hindering his movement. However, what truly brought horror to his heart was what he heard next.

”Seven Gear.”

Divine Calamity’s pupils shrank as he remembered Cain uttering similar words before blasting his Omega Avatar apart, and just as they reached his ears, he saw the Scarlet King appear in front of him.

Cain was standing inches away, a grin carved in blood and fire across his face—brimming with murderous intent and absolute dominance.

Panic flared in the ArchDeity’s heart. He immediately poured energy into a protective spell, coating his body in a thin layer of super-condensed gravity. It was a defense that could warp space itself, diminishing the momentum of any incoming attack.

But it didn’t matter.

The white star on Cain’s forehead pulsed.

His eyes blazed with crimson infernos, and his fist surged with soul force, psychic power, and the full might of conquest, sundered through all barriers.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!”

Cain’s fist drove straight into Divine Calamity’s chest. The impact split the sky. The ocean below quaked. The horizon blurred in shockwaves of force.
