The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 382 Mind Over Matter

”BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!”

The lightning pillar was nothing short of formidable, with a power surpassing almost every weapon from the Old World. All its destructive might was compressed in a less than ten-meter radius, showing the attacker flawless control over the spell.

Krane and everyone else in the Azure State was shocked and speechless as they saw a pillar of azure lightning fall from the sky with a power even greater than the sphere of revolving energy.

Many of them could not help but think that if the lightning pillar had appeared before, they would not have needed to rely on the help of the masked duo.

People then turned to the sky only to see a young man in a sky-blue robe and a white crown on his head calmly descending. He had short black hair and appeared no more than twenty years old, with azure eyes and a small sword in his right hand.

Not only was his appearance formidable, but the young man unleashed an aura that seemed to cover the sky and expand without an end.

”The Azure King!”

Kraneʼs eyes widened as he realized the identity of the man. The newcomer was none other than the leader of the Azure Royal Family, a Divine Ascension Master, a true powerhouse of the world!

Although not all Divine Ascension Masters had the right to call themselves Titans, each and every one of them had the power to unleash the might of a nuclear weapon with a single strike.

Despite the immense difference between their powers, Krane could not help but clench his fists and stare at this one with rage. That lightning strike was more than powerful enough to vaporize an Apotheosis Realm Master, so despite the lingering lightning clouding his sight, there was no way Cain was still alive.

The young man in the sky glanced at the lightning flooding the earth before turning toward Krane, locking eyes with him.

”You have done a good service by protecting the infrastructure of the Azure State. If you are willing to resume your identity as a member of the underworld, I would gladly take you in.”

Krane felt a crushing pressure along with those words and knew what would happen if he said no, but there was no fear in his eyes as he looked at the Azure King with loathing and disdain.

”As if I would ever align myself with a coward that killed my friend.”

While it was true that Kraneʼs relationship with Cain started as one of a servant, it evolved into something much deeper, one of mutual respect and friendship. While Krane did not want to die, he was willing to do it if it meant keeping his honor.

The Azure King stared at Krane with no emotion and simply nodded as Azure Lightning charged his sword again. While he would have liked to have a future Apotheosis Realm Master in his ranks, the Azure King would not waste his time trying to change Kraneʼs mind.

For a Divine Ascension Master like the Azure King, it would only take a swing of his sword to kill a Wave King, no matter how strong they are. He raised his sword, and while they were thousands of meters apart, it did not matter.

”BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

Just as the Azure King was about to end Kraneʼs life, a red force field blasted into the sky, dispersing the azure lightning on the ground. It was so powerful that it managed to rise all the way to the highest heaven of the Gaia Continent!

The Azure King and Krane were both shocked and taken by surprise by the blast, and they could see that right in the center of it was Cain holding the body of the young boy. Both of them were intact despite the ground around them having been crystallized by the lightning.

Cainʼs eyes were empty, but the red light in them was growing more powerful, enhancing the pillar of Ego Wave that continued rising into the sky. That was the external manifestation of what was happening right now in the deepest corner of Cainʼs soul sea.

”CRACK!!!”

Apex watched with horror as a massive crack formed in the gate. The enormous gate covered by chains of dark purple flames and black-white lightning inside Cainʼs soul sea already had a small crack on the right side from when Beelze perished, allowing the emergence of a personality other than Cainʼs.

Yet, this time, the crack formed on the left side, and what emerged was pure energy and chaotic emotions, lacking any form of order or ego.

”¡CHAOS!”

Apex couldnʼt help but tremble as he uttered that word and saw the burst of red energy flooding into Cainʼs soul sea, fusing into the Sun Seed and evolving his Ego Wave to an outrageously powerful level.

Back in the outer world, the Azure Kingʼs shock escalated as his eyes managed to discern the invisible shield around Cain.

It was made using Ego Wave to solidify air particles into a force field, even more durable than Platinum Wave Artifacts. However, for someoneʼs willpower to achieve this, it must have reached a stage far beyond Mind Over Wave.

”This seventeen-year-old boy has reached Mind Over Matter!”

The Azure King could not believe what his eyes were showing him, as it was simply impossible. Manipulating matter with willpower was the third realm of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, and no matter how much of a prodigy one was, reaching it before turning eighteen was utterly impossible by any standard.

Although the Azure King did not understand what was happening or how Cain had achieved such incredible power, one thing was clear in his mind: he could not allow the boy to live!

Burning with killing intent, the Azure Kingʼs eyes glowed with golden light. He was ready to slay Cain, but first, he would end the life of the young manʼs assistant.

Unfortunately for the Azure King, just as he turned his attention back to Krane, he saw the middle-aged man merge into a small tree before his presence vanished.
