The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 606: The Scarlet Kingʼs summoning

Dust spread everywhere as Tazanʼs crash into the mountain range obliterated the area. However, less than five seconds after the crash, the Duke emerged from the crater and rose to the sky.

Despite all the damage, Duke Tazan was a Late Divine Ascension Master, and his body and vitality were immensely resilient.

Duke Tazan was trying to control his breathing as he focused on General Gigant in front of him and noticed General Amalia behind. He knew he was in immense danger, but his eyes were still resolute, and any sense of fear had already vanished, replaced only by focus.

”Gigant, we have been friends since we were children and went through life and death in the army. Allow me to escape, and I assure you will never see my face again. I will leave the Hyperion Continent and never return.”

Duke Tazan felt the burst of killing intent coming from General Amalia, but he was sure that as long as General Gigant did not interfere, he could escape.

A flash of sadness appeared in General Gigantʼs eyes as he heard Tazanʼs words.

Gigant and Tazan entered the Imperial Army thousands of years ago. As they fought against the Dark Races and shared blood on the battlefield, an extremely powerful friendship formed between them, a bond that felt no weaker than that of brothers.

That was why Inquisitor Gigant was so shocked to learn the Scarlet King marked his old friend as the leader of one of the Tier 0 Factions that controlled a great portion of the underworld and was responsible for millions of deaths every year.

Gigantʼs first instinct was to refuse the information and shout that there was a mistake with the Scarlet Kingʼs analysis, as he could not accept his closest friend to be the Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath.

Cain was oblivious to everything that was happening with the ten Inquisitors. He only took care of obtaining the memories of the criminals through Gluttonyʼs Eye and then sent it to the [A.I. Chip Module].

Apex was the one who truly commanded the Scarlet Inquisition Force and handled those problems. Although the System Spirit was ruthless, he understood Inquisitor Gigantʼs feelings, which was why he shared all the evidence with the man.

A sense of shock and loss appeared in Inquisitor Gigantʼs heart when he saw the evidence. While it was not absolute, anyone with a sharp mind could see that the Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath could not be anyone else but Duke Tazan.

There was a plan to attack the upper echelon of Ocean Wrath, along with its headquarters and warehouse all at the same time, swiftly taking out the Tier 0 Dark Factionʼs infrastructure and management.

Hoping there was some sort of flaw in the Scarlet Kingʼs analysis, Inquisitor Gigant asked to be part of the force sent to handle Duke Tazan during the continent raid over Ocean Wrath. If during the raid messages arrived at Duke Tazanʼs computer ring, that would be all the evidence the Scarlet Inquisition Force would need to dictate the verdict over the Titan.

”Tazan, Ocean Wrath has done immense damage to the empire, has killed countless civilians, and also led to the death of millions of our army brothers. If it was anyone else, I would not even bother to hear their voice, but it is true, you are my friend, my closest and dearest friend.”

A small smile appeared on Tazanʼs face as he heard those words, and his mind immediately began to calculate the best route to escape from Inquisitor Amalia before leaving the Sector. Unfortunately for the Ocean Lord, the next part of Inquisitor Gigantʼs speech was not what he expected.

”However, our friendship means nothing compared with the safety of the Deus Behemoth Empire. The Scarlet King has requested your presence, and we will bring you to him. If you do not resist, I assure you I will plead for the Scarlet King to spare your life.”

Inquisitor Gigantʼs eyes glowed as a sense of determination and resolution emerged from the bottom of his soul. No matter the identity of the person, if they harmed the Deus Behemoth Empire, they were his enemy, and he would respond with nothing but killing might.

A sense of shock appeared on Tazanʼs face as he heard that Gigant would not let him escape, and then a flash of fear emerged in his eyes as he realized that the Scarlet King was summoning him.

Although obtaining information directly from the Scarlet Inquisition Forceʼs members about their methods was nearly impossible, Tazan as a Sector Duke and the leader of a Tier 0 Dark Faction had several means. This was why he knew that all the people who were summoned by the Scarlet King never returned, yet all the information in their minds became accessible to the Scarlet Inquisitors.

”Are you going to hand me to that filthy human!?”

As soon as Duke Tazan uttered those words, he felt the killing intent coming from Inquisitor Amalia explode, but that was not all as Inquisitor Gigantʼs entire body burst with a monstrous slaughter aura.

”I will ask you one last time, in the name of our past friendship. Are you willing to respond to the summoning of the Scarlet King?”

A sense of doom assaulted Tazan for a moment but it soon was replaced by wrath and killing intent.

”Fine, if that is how you want it. I will show you the might of the Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath!”

Tazanʼs Astral Wave burst in the form of dark blue oceanic shock waves that spread in all directions, flooding the air with so much energy that it practically set the wind ablaze.

Inquisitor Gigant and Inquisitor Amalia nodded to each other as they also unleashed all the power inside their bodies and Soul Bloodline, generating a pillar of white force and dark golden force.

The energy the three Titans were unleashing was so immense that it generated storm clouds that covered the highest sky of the entire Silver Wave Sector.
