The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 483 Duke Gigant

What drew Cainʼs attention was the thin blood saber he took from Sabina. A sharp light appeared in his eyes as he felt the power of this one and realized it was an Adamantine Artifact.

Adamantine Artifacts are very powerful weapons, and they were at an even higher level than Slaughter and Blood Nails. Of course, the latter was a Holy Weapon and could grow alongside Cainʼs energy pool, but its limit was at the Peak Apotheosis Realm, while the thin blood blade could enhance the attacks from Divine Ascension Masters.

Although Cain wanted to know more about the weapon, the Ego Mark of Sabina in it was much more powerful than in the space ring, and trying to break through it by force would be dangerous, so he just left it be for the time being.

There were also starry gems, but while they were powerful, they did not offer more powerful spells than the ones he currently had.

After finishing with the space rings, the Scarlet King took a high-quality wave crystal from his space ring. He could not do much until the Dukeʼs return, so he chose to train.

Other than that, he was also using the [A.I. Chip Module] to go through the networks of the Deus Behemoth Empire as he wanted to look for the silent and hidden channels. For Cain, it was already a habit to look for the underworld wherever he arrived in a new place.

Rokan saw how Cain took high-quality crystals to train but did not think much of it. After all, the Deus Behemoth was under the misconception that Cain was an Apotheosis Realm Master, and it was normal for those at that level to use such resources. If he were to know that Cain was a Wave Champion, he would be shocked.

On the fifth day after he arrived at the fort, Cain opened his eyes and looked into the distance as he felt several powerful presences approaching. His eyes grew sharp as he soon saw a three-and-a-half-meter-tall man with a single eye on his face and a bulging physique.

”That must be Duke Gigant.”

Cain was slightly surprised to see that the man looked like a Cyclops, but again, given that the different clans from the Deus Bahamut Race are all unique and many resembled fairy tales from the Old World, it was not really that strange.

The group was riddled with injuries, and it was evident by the instability of their Waves and aura that they had been fighting for a very long time. Although the races with Sacred Organs were more powerful than Wave Beasts as they could transform the Life Wave into a higher version, the latter had greater fertility and proliferation.

Even if a Deus Bahamut Apotheosis Master could easily win one-on-one against a Grand King Beast, things were different if they faced an endless horde, especially if the Wave Beasts were full of murderous intent and lacked any sense of self-preservation.

Gigant and his men did not take long to reach the Colossus Fort, and a sharp light appeared in the Dukeʼs eyes as he focused on the Godslayer Human.

Cain stood up and performed a deep bow to the Divine Ascension Deus Behemoth.

Duke Gigant was not alone, and many other Deus Behemoths were around him. Still, Cain did not pay too much attention to them, as it seemed they were all Apotheosis Masters, and they were not above him in either strength or military ranks, so there was no need for excessive politeness.

The Deus Behemoth Duke stared at Cain for a moment before performing a solemn nod.

”We should speak in private,” Duke Gigant stared at Cain for a moment, uttering that command before turning to the rest of the Deus Behemoths around him.

”Everyone, take some rest and make sure to tend to your wounds. Be prepared to march into battle immediately upon any indication. While the horde of Wave Beasts may seem to have come to a halt, we havenʼt seen any Divine Beasts yet, so this is no time to let your guard down.”

The Deus Behemoths nodded, taking all sorts of cultivation treasures from their space rings to heal their wounds and replenish their energy pools.

Gigant nodded as he saw the seriousness in his soldiers before glancing at Cain, and the duo immediately went to the Titan Tower in the center of the fort, soon vanishing inside this one.

Gigant and Cain were in a large room covered in dark rocks that seemed to generate a strange gravitational pressure, and at the end was a massive throne. The Deus Behemoth did not sit and instead stared at the Godslayer Human with a piercing gaze.

”I have investigated Cain Laurifer. The young man is supposed to be a divine genius from the Godslayer Humankind. He was born with incredible gifts in the Ego Eternal Path of Power and Astral Rebirth Path of Power, capable of exhibiting a battle power more than a Rank above his cultivation base.

While you seem identical, and your willpower matches the young manʼs, I can sense Essence Wave and the power of the Laws radiating from your body. Besides, you were supposed to have suddenly vanished more than a year ago from the Prometheus Sector under suspicious circumstances. Yet, you appear now in the Hyperion Continent, seemingly having crossed our continental border illegally.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed when he heard the words from the Deus Behemoth, and he could see the suspicion in his eyes but did not find it odd. After all, his time in Kronos proved that supplanting someoneʼs identity was not that hard, and his appearing out of nowhere during such a cataclysmic event was odd.

”I understand your suspicion, and I am willing to offer an explanation. However, the information I will reveal will carry a certain level of military secrecy, so I will refrain from sharing certain details.”

Gigant stared at Cain briefly before softly nodding and waving his hand, isolating the floor.

Cain took a moment, his eyes flashing with coldness as he went through the events that led him out of Gaia.
