The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 599 The Imperial Armyʼs arrival

”Brat, do you really think you can do all that without help?”

”We could move in the darkness to help you with your missions”

Lord Zanginis and Lord Kabuto immediately spoke, their eyes full of concern. Cain had promised a goal that seemed impossible to achieve in their minds. Even if the young man was talented beyond reason, there was a limit to what he could do.

Just the required computational skills and logistic mind to fulfill the mission was something the duo did not believe a living being could possess.

Cain just smiled as he saw the concern in the Patriarchsʼ faces. He was not worried about the mission as the [A.I. Chip Module] was more than capable of carrying on the weight of the logistic center for such an army.

”I will be fine. There is no need to worry. But I will contact you in case of a problem.”

Lord Zanginis and Lord Kabuto saw the confidence and serenity in Cainʼs face and could only sigh and accept the young manʼs words. Without further delay, they said farewell to Cain and left through the teleportation formation.

”We are finally alone.”

Cain was looking at the teleportation formation as he spoke those words, making Auron tremble due to the sheer terror.

”Low...ly hu...man, jus...t k...ill me!” Auronʼs rage was able to overcome his fear, and he shouted with rage and loathing despite the pain of speaking with his throat broken.

Cain turned around and shook his head. Even at the gates of death, the predominant feeling in the manʼs heart was disgust and xenophobia. Not wanting to hear more from the man, he struck him on the back of the head, knocking him out.

After that, Cain adopted a meditative position in front of Auron and placed his hand over his head. He planned to use the Concept of Gluttony to devour Auronʼs vitality and energy, using it to reinforce his body and energy pools.

That way, he would train his Gluttony Concept and improve his cultivation base. Cain wanted to keep improving his mastery of the Gluttony Concept. While he could currently consume the memories of an Early Divine Ascension Master and should be able to do the same with the one in the Soul Kingʼs soul force, he was not content with just that.

”Gluttonyʼs Eye should be able to devour more than just raw information. If I improve my mastery over the Concept of Gluttony, I should be able to assimilate emotions, intent, and insights inside the soul force and ego.”

Although some might consider emotions and insight useless, that could not be further from the truth. Emotions, insight, and intents were the core behind Saint Techniques, and without them, they were useless.

Cain wanted to obtain every single detail from the Soul Kingʼs experiences, including his skills and insights into Saint Cultivation Techniques and Laws. But for that, he needed to improve his Gluttony Concept to a much higher level.

He had already got a great level of insight and intent from the Gluttony Concept upon perceiving the nature of the [Sky Fiend Flame] but practice was also needed. Luckily, he had an immense amount of energy and vitality in front of him, and soon smaller sources of fuel would arrive for him to train.

Ten days after Eon had left the Umbra Clan Secret Dungeon and returned to Amazon to continue establishing order after the upheaval, a massive force appeared in the sky of the incinerated mountain range.

The massive army had over 1 million Deus Behemoths, all of them able to stand in the sky thanks to the immense amount of energy inside their bodies. There was none beneath the Wave King Rank.

Of course, numbers in Aether had a finite effect as there were life forms capable of unleashing the power of H-Bombs with a single strike. Yet, there were ten such entities at the head of this massive military force.

Eon had fulfilled his words and sent over fifty percent of the Imperial Army to the incinerated mountain range. Their mission was simple: to obey every command handed by the Godslayer Human, Cain Laurifer.

Despite their power, the people in this military force grew in the army, so they knew discipline. Since the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire commanded them to follow the humanʼs directives, they would do so.

Still, many of the Titans could not help but look at each other with inquisitive gazes, as they were surprised by the order and curious about the nature of their new commanding officer.

The name Cain Laurifer had spread across the Deus Behemoth Empire during the last years. The young man arrived on the Hyperion Continent shortly before the Great Cataclysm and saved millions from the Oceanic Wave Beast Hordes. After that, he nearly destroyed the underworld of the Colossus Sector before traveling to the Bahamut Sector.

There he immediately reignited his relationship with the Zanginis Clan, to the point he was able to establish a deep relationship with Zuko Zanginis, the Patriarch. Shortly after that, he participated in the Solis Clan Tournament, and not only did he win, but he also became Lord Kabutoʼs Foster Son and the clanʼs Sun Avatar.

After that news about him began to die down as he entered the Astral Bloodline Realm, and just as people were starting to forget the name of Cain Laurifer, he emerged from the realm and uncovered the relationship between the Soul King and the Umbra Clan.

There were even tales of him crippling a Peak Early Divine Ascension Master from the Umbra Clan with two attacks. Although many considered that to be too surreal, there were dozens of witnesses to that clash.

Cain Lauriferʼs name had already become a legend among the people of the Deus Behemoth Empire, and even the Titans from the Imperial Army could not help but wonder about the character of such a man.

”Gigant, you have met the young man and spent some time with him. Is there anything you can tell us about him?” A Deus Behemoth that resembled a mighty humanoid golden eagle with an imposing aura spoke to a one-eyed Titan to his right.
