The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 543: Eon

Cain noticed the fighting will in several people from the Aeolus Clan, but his attention quickly shifted to those from the Kraken Clan.

The Kraken Clan could become his greatest adversary in the Astral Bloodline Realm. Other than Norkuo, all other members of the Kraken Clan entering the dimension were young and full of vibrant vitality and power. The group was led by a man with red hair and blue eyes, covered in a bronze exoskeleton that radiated immense pressure.

Of the nine, only the red-haired man raised Cainʼs awareness, his instincts warning him of the power of this one. Not wanting to draw too much attention, Cain turned to the group to the left of the Kraken Clan beneath the shadow shark statue. This group was the Umbra Clan, characterized by the sharp fin on their arms and legs and known for their assassination skills.

Cainʼs gaze didnʼt linger on the Umbra Clan as he observed two groups arriving in the sky. One group included Rodric from the Fenrir Clan, whom Cain had encountered during the Sun Avatar Crowning. The other group was full of individuals with massive constitutions, each between two and a half to three meters tall, and dark metallic fur over their bodies.

That was the Ursa Clan. Unlike other clans, none of them wore armor, even the Essence Cultivators, showcasing their pride in the defensive power of their bloodline.

Shortly after the Ursa and Fenrir Clans, two more groups arrived. One consisted of tall individuals with massive constitutions, but unlike the Ursa Clan, they were armored and positioned themselves beneath the statue of the massive mythical whale.

Another group, composed entirely of winged stunning women with a cold aura surrounding their bodies and a freezing bloodline, positioned themselves beneath the ice mythical eagle statue.

After the Gravita and Artik Clans arrived, Cain frowned, feeling an overwhelming wave of heat that made him uncomfortable. Cainʼs body, resilient enough to withstand the magma of nearly all volcanos in Aether, was unsettled by this intense temperature.

He looked up, along with everyone else, as a figure appeared in the sky. It was a middle-aged man with long dark hair, dark gray skin, majestic horns, and armor that seemed to contain revolving magma.

That majestic man was Eon, the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire, Patriarch of the Vulcano Clan, and the strongest Deus Behemoth in all of Aether. Despite containing his aura, the power he unleashed was so massive that it affected space-time, and the radiation he emitted was the highest of everyone present.

”We salute the mighty Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire, Eon Vulcano,” shouted everyone present, including Cain.

Cain clenched his fists in awe of the manʼs power. He had witnessed a greater display of power in the dream world, but experiencing things in person and with your own senses had a different feeling.

The Deus Behemoth Emperor nodded as he descended from the sky, his gaze narrowing as he looked at Cain. Maintaining composure under such a powerful gaze was challenging, but Cain managed, his eyes glowing with red light.

The exchange between them was brief as Eon softly nodded and continued descending.

Only after Eon touched the ground did people notice ten warriors from the Vulcano Clan who would be entering the Astral Bloodline Realm. All Apotheosis Realm Masters have powerful auras and vibrant vitalities, yet the Emperor eclipsed their presence.

A tense silence fell as all eyes turned towards Lord Eon, waiting for him to speak before ten warriors from each clan marched into the Astral Bloodline Realm.

Once inside, they would be on their own. While there was a tactical agreement to avoid conflict, it was uncertain if this would hold once treasure was involved, especially since some clans already harbored animosity towards each other.

”The Astral Bloodline Realm might be a land full of danger and treasure, where greed could cloud your judgment, but remember who you are and what you fight for.”

This concise statement, rich with wisdom and insight, was enough to awaken all the younger generation members, allowing them to consider whether killing their brothers and sisters in the pursuit of wealth was worth it.

”Go.”

As soon as Eon gave the signal, the fighting will of all the people burst forth as they flashed into the portal. The portal was large enough to allow all groups to enter simultaneously.

The moment Cain touched the portal, he felt a great force take control of his body, and he could do nothing but follow along. Previously, when Cain went through a portal or teleportation formation, he only felt the power of space but understood almost nothing. However, things were different now that his understanding of the Law of Space was at the Extreme Basic Understanding.

Cain was still unable to fully understand the power behind the portal, but he knew his body was not being sent across a great distance but barely moving from his position. The Astral Bloodline Realm was located in the same place as Amazon.

ʼA parallel dimension?ʼ

A parallel dimension is a dimension that occupies the same space as the central plane of existence that held Aether, but that possesses a different vibrational frequency, allowing the superposition of two things.

As Cain considered this, the darkness faded, and he found himself in the ceiling of what could only be described as a gray cylinder dozens of thousands of kilometers tall and with a length his supernatural sense could not perceive.

ʼSo this is the Gray Road. Majestic.ʼ

Cain felt awe and wonder at the marvelous sight, but instantly, his eyes grew sharp as he saw his body falling. If that was all, there would be no problem, but hundreds of white skeletal monsters were on the ground of the gargantuan road.

These creatures had all sorts of strange bestial appearances, and there was not a single organ inside their bodies, not even a brain, yet their eyes glowed with light very similar to that which appeared in the members of the Sacred Race as they unleashed their Ego Waves.

”ROOOOOOOAAARRRRRR!”

The monsters, covered in dust just a second ago, roared as they detected the life forms falling from the sky, and they all flew toward them with nothing but pure killing intent in their eyes.

Cainʼs eyes widened as he made his Ego Wave burst, and he frowned as he noticed how restrictive it was in its rage. Normally, his red force field could extend for 1000 kilometers, but now it covered only five hundred meters.

Although that was trouble, Cain was not worried since he had another scanning force field that, while it might not have the range of his Ego Wave, was much more powerful.

ʼSystem, display the full power of the [Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field].ʼ

Cain expected to have a complete scan of 250 kilometers around him, but he was shocked to hear the Absolute Life Forms Systemʼs response.

[An unknown power is restricting the Pseudo Multidimensional Scan Force Field.

Current range: 1000 meters.]

Cain was surprised to hear that the dimension could hinder the [A.I. Chip Module] despite the capabilities of this one having evolved to a realm that could be considered the peak of Aether.

Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

ʼThis place is definitely something different. It will not be of much help, but it will still grant me a greater range of control than my Ego Wave.ʼ

All those thoughts crossed Cainʼs mind in a second as he took out Slaughter and made his body glow with sunlight energy as the power of the Law of Blood and Law of Space burst. He did not wait for the Skeletal Beasts to surround him and flashed forward.

Cain was not alone; all the other Deus Behemoths who appeared alongside him in the ceiling of the Gray Road also made their power burst.

The people of the Solis Clan generated a potent burst of sunlight energy that scorched the air while simultaneously giving them supernatural speed. At the same time, those from the Zanginis Clan either made their bodies burst with Blood Energy or conjured powerful spells using blood.

Those from the Vulcano Clan unleashed bursts of flames that ignited the air, while the women of the Artik Clan did the opposite, generating a cold field that froze the particles of oxygen.

The warriors from the Gravita Clan banded together as they unleashed a gravitational field and dived toward the Skeletal Monsters, while the chest-bare fighters from the Ursa Clan lunged toward all the monsters in their path, seemingly intending to use their own bodies as battering rams.

The people from the Kraken Clan followed a similar path to those of the Gravitas Clan as they all fused their energy, generating what seemed to be a wave of Astral and Essence Wave in the form of a tsunami capable of crushing pressure. While the people from the Umbra Clan split, all of them used strange forces that faded their presence.

All the members of the Fenrir Clan took different types of swords as they used the power of sword force and space energy to blast the enemies. Not far from them, the people from the Aeolus Clan unleashed wind vortices that crushed and shattered all the Skeletal Monsters in their path.
