The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 379 Existential threat to the Azure State

The alarm went off, and it echoed across the entire Azure Castle. Timothy showed nothing since Cain controlled his every action, but the young man and Krane inside the space ring looked at each other with shock and dread.

Cain and Krane did not understand what was happening. They had been very careful, making sure to cover their presence. However, even if they were discovered, why wait until they left the dungeon?

It would have made much more sense to attack them while they were inside the dungeon since it would have been easier to get rid of the evidence.

”RUMBLE!!!”

Before the duo could understand what was happening, they felt the ground beneath their feet trembling, and through Timothyʼs A.I. Chip, they heard a message.

[All people at the Wave Champion and Wave Warrior ranks must evacuate into the Azure Castle. Cultivators at the Wave King level must form a defensive formation around the perimeters.

This is a command from the Azure Royal Council!!!]

Cain frowned as he heard that command, and it became clear that the alarm was not related to him, Krane, or the events in the dungeons and Secret Vault.

It was related to the tremor that kept growing stronger.

Timothy was a Wave Champion, so he should have waited inside the Azure Castle, but Cain needed to know what was happening. No matter how he felt about the Azure Royal Family, they were powerful, so something that would force them to evacuate must be extremely dangerous.

”¡BOOM!”

As soon as Timothy emerged from the Azure Caste, he heard a powerful explosion in the distance. The alderman turned to the origin, and what he saw left Cain and Krane shocked.

The alderman saw what could only be described as a sphere of dark golden energy the size of a mountain! Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

It was located on the periphery of the Azure State, near the northwest.

”¡BOOM!”

Another explosion emerged from the sphere of dark golden revolving energy.

”¡BOOOOMMMM!”

The explosions seemed to have a pattern, as the sphere would shirk before unleashing a powerful blast, growing larger and stronger the next second.

”BOOOOMMMM!”

It happened again and again, and the blasts were too much for the outer walls of the Azure State as cracks had already formed in them. If left unchecked, the walls will fall, allowing the energy blast to reach the population, and hundreds of thousands will die.

Cain could discern the power of the revolving sphere of dark golden energy and knew it was an existential threat to the entire Azure State. They needed to act fast, or else it would result in countless deaths, but as he looked around him, it was clear that the Wave Kings of the Azure Royal Family would not risk their lives.

The energy level of the sphere was beyond that of a Wave King, and the blast at the epicenter carried more than enough power to endanger their lives.

Cain knew that none of the Wave Kings would risk their lives for the common people of the Azure State.

Apotheosis Realm Masters were the only ones who could intervene in such a powerful phenomenon safely, but for some reason, all of them were gone.

Whatever those Apotheosis Realm Masters were doing, Cain doubted they would suddenly return to the state to save the commoners. They might appear once the Azure Castle was in danger, but by then, millions would have perished.

ʼDammit!ʼ Cain shouted in his mind as he commanded Timothy to leave the Azure Castle and march toward the sphere of dark golden energy.

The old alderman did as he was told, using all his strength to rise into the sky as he flashed out of the Azure Castle at full speed.

”Alderman Timothy?”

”What are you doing!?”

The Wave Kings guarding the periphery of the castle shouted as they saw the old Wave Champion marching toward the sphere of energy. None was willing to risk their lives by going near the sphere of energy, so they just watched as this one vanished in the distance. If the old man wanted to kill himself, they would not join him.

Timothy, of course, did not care about those Wave Kings as he was under the control of Cain. As soon as he moved far enough away from the sight of the people of the Azure Royal Family, he entered a small alley, where his head exploded into pieces, allowing Cain and Krane to emerge.

The duo donned their helmets to cover their identities as they nodded to each other and silently made their way to the cityʼs walls, getting near the roiling sphere of dark golden energy.

”¡AHHHH!”

”HELP!”

¡SAVE ME!”

Screams of pain, fear, and desperation surrounded the duo as the energy blasts emerging from the phenomenon were about to break through the walls, killing the people in the zone.

”BOOMMMMM!”

The sphere of energy compressed again before unleashing another blast, growing stronger and finally breaking apart a piece of the wall on the periphery of the Azure State!

Terror, absolute and overwhelming, appeared in the eyes of the people watching, for without the wall, the next energy blast would reach them directly, and none would survive.

A young woman looked at the sphere of dark golden energy as she held her daughter in her arms. When she saw the sphere compressing again, she knew that the next blast would be the end for them, and tears fell from her eyes as she hugged her child.

”BOOOOOOMMMMMM!”

Another energy blast emerged, but just as this one was about to reach the population, giant trees emerged from the ground, sealing the hole in the wall and saving the people from the blast!

Shock and awe appeared in the eyes of those who were ready to face death just a moment ago as a man with a black helmet created a wall made of giant trees that saved all of them. And their awe only grew mightier as another man with a red helmet, bathed in golden fire and wielding a red saber in his hand, dashed toward the sphere.
