The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 352 The Golden Emperor

Michael frowned as he understood the implications of a Wave Champion staying inside the Tower of Stars for ten days. The pressure on Cainʼs soul should have already reached an unbearable level and on the brink of collapse. It might have shattered already, leaving Cain like nothing more than an empty husk.

Just as Michael wondered what was happening with the Tower of Stars, he saw Krane walking toward him.

Krane ignored everyone as he stood right in front of the Crown Prince before kneeling on the ground and lowering his head.

”I beg you, mighty Crown Prince, to save my Lord!”

No one looked down on Krane for kneeling before the Crown Prince. Actually, the fact he was willing to go to that extreme for the safety of Cain made the entire groupʼs opinion about this one improve.

Before the Crown Prince could even give Krane an answer, a member of his own group approached his side.

”Crown Prince, I must also ask for your assistance, as we cannot let anything bad happen to Colonel Laurifer.”

The one who spoke was Iris, confusing many people since she had not once interacted with Cain.

Michael stared at the young woman, and his eyes narrowed as she softly nodded. He immediately raised his hand, stopping Desmond, who was about to ask the same thing as the other two.

”I will handle it.”

The Crown Prince took a deep breath, and the next second, a mighty silver force field emerged from his brain. Everything around him began to tremble as the power of his Ego Wave went beyond just manipulating the Wave.

Awe appeared in the heart of everybody watching that mighty silver force field, as they felt in it enough power to crush their bodies and annihilate their minds!

Black was the only one who did not feel completely overwhelmed by the Crown Princeʼs Ego Wave. Still, a solemn light appeared in the giantʼs eyes.

The Crown Prince did not lose focus as he sent his Ego Wave into the Tower of Stars. He wanted to merge his silver force field into the superstructure in order to locate Cain.

Michael wanted to understand the state of Cainʼs body and soul before trying to take this one out.

Unfortunately for Michael, just as his Ego Wave made contact with the Tower of Stars, this one unleashed a monstrous gravitational might, shattering the silver force field to pieces.

”Ahh!”

Michael could not help but release a small scream of pain as he grabbed his head due to the unbearable pain. He retracted his Ego Wave immediately, as he could not endure any more damage.

Downcast expressions appeared on the faces of Krane, Iris, and Desmond as they saw the state of the Crown Prince. If not even the mighty Michael Goldsoul, whose Ego Wave reached the Third Realm, could help Cain, then who could?

Michael took a moment to regulate his breathing and suppress the pain assaulting his brain before starting at the trio. He used all his power, but the Tower of Stars was too much for him.

Just as the Crown Prince was about to shake his head, leaving Cainʼs fate to luck, his gaze raised to the sky.

Michael noticed it first, but it did not take long for the others to see the incredibly majestic and powerful force descending from the heavens.

It was a golden force field in the form of a majestic wingless dragon. Michaelʼs Ego Wave was impressive, but the one descending from the sky was on a whole new level.

Michael took a knee, and the rest of the group immediately followed him as they lowered their heads.

The reason for that behavior was simple. That majestic golden force field in the form of a dragon was no other than the Ego Wave of the strongest life form in the Godslayer Humankind Empire, the Golden Emperor!

It moved at a shocking speed, blasting into the Tower of Stars, easily overcoming the gravitational force of this one.

Michael, Iris, Krane, and the rest of the group felt a sense of pure admiration and wonder as they saw the might of the golden force field, and they were not the only ones.

The power of the golden dragon was felt across the Silver City, and dozens of powerhouses turned their gazes toward the Three Towers of Adam. All wondered what could be so important as to draw the Golden Emperor to unleash his Ego Wave.

Nearly a minute passed as the golden force field merged into the Tower of Stars before it retracted to the sky, vanishing from sight.

Michael, Krane, Iris, Desmond, and the others all wondered what would happen with Cain. Luckily, they did not have to wait for long as a booming voice echoed across the sky, reaching every corner of the Silver City.

”The Genetic Tournament will be delayed one month!”

The voice of the Golden Emperor spread across Eden, pushing the Genetic Tournament that was supposed to happen in a few days, an entire month.

Confusion appeared in the faces of many people as they heard the decree of the Golden Emperor. While the Genetic Tournament was an important event, it was far from enough to draw the attention of the ruler of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

However, shock and realization appeared in the eyes of the group that was currently in the Three Towers of Adam.

Since it was a matter of life and death, no one really thought about it before, but Cain was supposed to participate in the Genetic Tournament.

There would be no reason for the Golden Emperor to delay the Genetic Tournament if Cain could not participate, so it meant that the young man was fine inside the Tower of Stars.

A radiant smile appeared on Kraneʼs face, but some, like the Crown Prince and Magnus Hellblazer, had much deeper expressions.

Cain was Wave Champion, and even with the improvement of his Ego Wave, his soul force still failed to reach the Wave King Rank, so he should not be able to endure this long inside the Tower of Stars, yet he did.

And by the response of the Golden Emperor, Cain must be thriving.

”We should leave. It is best if we are not here when the powerhouses of Eden come to find out what is happening with the Tower of Stars.”

Michael spoke with a solemn voice as he looked into the distance and felt several powerful intents approaching their location.

The rest of the group nodded. Desmond, Magnus, Krane, Iris, and the young genius of the Anima Machinarium Race had already gone through the Tower of Stars and Tower of Laws. While they wanted to try the Tower of Concepts, it was not the right time.

Michael guided the group to the teleportation formation, leaving the Three Towers of Adam.

Krane followed them, but not before glancing at the Tower of Stars one last time. While he would have wanted to stay, he did not have the authorization. Still, he was confident that no one could harm Cain inside the Tower of Stars, so the only thing he could do was wait for this one to emerge.

A few hours after the events in the Three Towers of Adam, Michael and Iris were in a dark room.

”Are you sure about it?”

There was a solemn expression on the Crown Princeʼs face as he spoke to the woman.

”Yes, Master. Their demeanor, personality, way of speaking, along with his impressive Genetic Coder abilities and battle power, there is no doubt in my mind.”

Iris made a pause before looking directly into the Crown Princeʼs eyes.

”Cain Laurifer must be Kingʼs personal disciple.”

The Crown Princeʼs eyes narrowed as he stared at Iris. He had given the young woman the task of tracking down the man that went by the moniker of King and who saved her during the events of Saharo City.

Iris had done her best, using every means available to track down King, but she had found nothing. That was until she met Cain.

The way Cain behaved, his battle skills, and his mastery over Genetic Coding made Iris grow suspicious, but the key behind her conjecture was when she felt his Ego Wave.

It was not uncommon for a student to mimic the behavior and personality of their master, and Cainʼs Ego Wave felt nearly identical to the one that saved her life.

Michael stared at Iris for a moment before nodding.

”Well done. Now leave, and do not reveal this to anyone.”

Iris clasped her hands and bowed to the Crown Prince before leaving the room.

Thousands of kilometers away from the shore of the Gaia Continent, there was a small island. There was nothing special about it other than the fact it had ten mountains that rose above the clouds.

Usually, an island in the middle of the ocean would be overwhelmed by Wave Beasts, but not even Grand King Beast dared to get near it.
