The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 500 Good news and bad news (II)

Cain couldnʼt help but frown upon hearing those words. He understood that using an intercontinental teleportation formation would not be cheap. Still, he was willing to pay and had accepted the burden of antagonizing the Kraken Clan just to improve his standing in the Deus Behemoth Empire.

If, after all that hard work and with his background, the Deus Behemothʼs Imperial Court still refused, they were surely looking down on him. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Of course, as a master of Order, Cain maintained a cool head and did not jump to conclusions as he waited for Lord Zanginis to continue.

”Itʼs not that we donʼt want to help. Actually, with all the hard work you put into cleaning the Colossus Sector of their filth, it would be enough for me to lead you directly into a teleportation formation that led to Gaia. But the problem is the state of the Endless Ocean.”

At this point, Lord Zanginis made a small pause as he waved his hand, generating a virtual image on the ceiling that depicted two massive continents with an even greater ocean separating them.

”As you should already understand, teleportation isnʼt just vanishing from one place and appearing in another. In essence, an intercontinental teleportation formation creates a wormhole between two points in space, drastically reducing the distance between the two.”

Cain saw how a wormhole appeared in Hyperion and the other in Gaia. When you go through it, the millions of kilometers between the continents are reduced to a few meters.

”Unfortunately, while the situation on the continent has calmed down, the state of the Endless Ocean is still full of chaos. Due to the instabilities in space, you cannot cross it through a teleportation formation. The situation is so chaotic that we canʼt even communicate with Gaia, and we are completely blinded to the state of the other empires.”

Lord Zanginis was a Titan of the Deus Behemoth Empire and the Patriarch of one of the Ten Great Bloodlines, so his understanding of the situation was much deeper than a Duke like Gigant. It was not that the Duke of the Colossus Sector was hiding things from Cain; he just did not know.

”Aaaaaa. I see. If thatʼs the case, then indeed, I canʼt cross the Endless Ocean through the use of an intercontinental teleportation formation.”

Cain sighed upon hearing this piece of information. There was no reason for Lord Zanginis to lie to him, and it made sense that the condition of the Endless Ocean was much worse than on land, explaining why the oceanic Wave Beasts were so desperate to escape from it.

”Brother Cain, you shouldnʼt get too bummed out. Iʼm sure that the chaotic state of the Endless Ocean will calm down in a few months, and youʼll be able to return home. Besides, you are more than welcome to stay in our house.”

Desmond immediately spoke up as he saw the disappointment on Cainʼs face, and Lord Zanginis nodded.

”As my son says, young man. Weʼre always happy to make friends with powerful and honorable warriors.” At this point, Lord Zanginis stared at Cain for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.

”Actually, young man, youʼve come at a very fortunate moment.”

Cainʼs brow rose as he heard those words, and he saw that the rest of the people in the dining room were just as clueless as he was about what Lord Zanginis was talking about. Fortunately, the old man didnʼt leave them in suspense.

”The sudden upheaval seems to have triggered the opening of the Astral Bloodline Realm ahead of time.”

Cain wasnʼt familiar with the Hyperion Continent, so he only knew that the Astral Bloodline Realm was a sacred realm under the control of the Deus Behemoth Race, but nothing more. However, the shock and awe in the eyes of Kouto, Desmond, and everyone else told him it was not simple.

”But Father, the boy canʼt enter our sacred realm. Heʼs a human.”

Prince Kouto immediately responded to his fatherʼs words, but his eyes widened as he turned to Cain and raised his hand.

”Young man, Iʼm not looking down on you or your race, but literally, you cannot enter the Astral Bloodline Realm. There are several restrictions to the realm, and one of the most important ones is that the bloodline aura and radiation inside the realm would scorch the blood of anyone without one of the Ten Great Bloodlines.”

Cain misconstrued Koutoʼs words at first, but now that he heard the explanation, he immediately agreed with the man. He could never enter such a place, as having his blood set ablaze inside his veins would be a nightmare.

”Hmph, who do you think your father is? Of course, I understand that, but the boyʼs timing is beyond perfect since old man Kabuto is preparing to start a tournament, and the winner will have the right to inherit a pure strand of the Solis Great Bloodline.”

Lord Zanginis showed an amused smile, almost as if he couldnʼt wait to see Cain obtain victory in the tournament.

”So what do you say, boy? Since youʼll be stuck on our continent for the time being, why donʼt you make the best of it?”

Cain was honestly surprised by the sudden waves of information, but soon, a smile appeared on his face. Since he was bound to remain on the Deus Behemoth Continent, he might as well get a new bloodline.

”Can you tell me more?”

”Hahaha, thatʼs the spirit!”

Lord Zanginis laughed as he heard Cainʼs response, clearly excited. Although Cain found the manʼs behavior somewhat odd, it was evident that he was not trying to conceal his intentions.

”That crazy bastard told me about it this morning, but soon the entire continent will know about it. The tournament will begin in twenty-two days and last an entire month. It will end a week before the opening of the Sacred Astral Bloodline Realm. Clearly, the old man wants to send anyone who wins into it.”
