The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 655: Preparing an ambush

”If you are going to accuse someone of betrayal to our race, then you must have flawless evidence to back up those words.”

Angarʼs voice was cold as he stared at Cain. Clearly, the notion that his son was put on a list full of traitors was not something he found amusing.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar shared the emotions of the Patriarch of the Aegon Family. Some of the names on the list were friends and comrades they had made in their military career, and they could not simply allow someone to tarnish them with the mark of a traitor.

The trio would not have even bothered to hear him out if it wasnʼt for Cainʼs feats and reputation.

Cain maintained calm under those cold gazes and did not blame the trio for their reaction since he would have reacted the same if someone had tarnished the name of the people he cared about with such a horrible crime.

”First of all, I did not say they are traitors. I said they are spies, and they are actually unaware of their actions, which is why they have been able to hide so well, and no one suspected anything.”

The coldness and anger in the trio diminished and were replaced by confusion. How could it be possible for dozens of people to be spies and not aware of their crimes?

Cain obviously would not leave them waiting and carried on.

”All the people on the list are giving information to the Void King, but they do not know they are doing it. During a moment in the last 20 years, each was visited by the Soul King, who managed to influence their minds. It was extremely subtle to the point none of you could detect it, but the commands were present deep in their subconscious.

All the people on the list are actively communicating with the Void King. They might think they are just chatting with a friend or writing nonsense in their diaries. Yet, in reality, they share all their knowledge about the Collapsing Lightning Alliance in encrypted messages with the Dark King.”

A new wave of surprise assaulted the trio, just for them to burst with killing intent. Of course, the target was not Cain but the Void King and Soul King.

The Patriarch of the Aegon Family could not help but tremble as he felt the hatred and rage in his heart exploding. Angar wanted nothing more than to fly toward the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army and butcher the man, but he did not lose focus and controlled his emotions before staring at Cain.

”Is there a way to fix it? Is my son in danger?”

The True Titan was an extremely powerful warrior and fearless when facing even the greatest adversaries. Still, when it came to his son, he was like any other father, immensely worried something might happen.

”Please do not worry. Since the Dark Kings wanted to give no clues any of you could detect, the Soul King could not do anything directly or leave a trace of his energy in the victims, so the process was just potent mental conditioning. I can fix it without a problem; there is no danger for the victims as long as I do it.”

Cain already knew all the tricks and skills of the Soul King, so breaking mental conditioning without risking the personʼs life.

When Angar heard those words, he was able to relax and nearly fell. It might have been just a few seconds, but the idea of losing a son was something the man did not dare to imagine. The Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar were relieved that their comrades would be fine.

Although the trio would want to fix the mental condition immediately, now that they knew about it, they would be foolish if they did not use it, especially since there was no danger for the victims.

”Okay, I am fine with you hiding my presence in order to downplay our current battle might. Am I right to assume you already have a plan in mind on how to incite a move from the Void King?”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke saw the potential of Cainʼs mind, and as he saw the scheming and devious light in the eyes of the young man, he knew the young man already had a plan.

”We cannot make it too obvious as the Void King would see through our trap. The manʼs mind is something only a fool would underestimate, but we must neither leave too few clues. He would hesitate to make his move if he is not certain, and we would have lost our chance.”

Cainʼs eyes glowed with coldness and killing intent as he revealed his plan to the trio, and the more they learned about it, the wider the smiles on their faces, as they were sure the Void King would get a good surprise.

After Cain finished explaining his plan, he, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and Angar turned toward the Collapsing Lightning Duke.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke analyzed all factors, and after a moment, he nodded with a solemn expression.

”The plan is excellent, but we must remember we will face the Void King. Even if we manage to ambush him, the man is extremely powerful. We have already seen the might of his ultimate ability, and who knows what else he could unleash if desperate enough.

It will take around two and a half weeks to implement your plans, and until then, I will focus all my time on recovering as much of my battle power as possible, and each of you should be ready to explode with energy when the time comes. We must be prepared to put our lives on the line since if we kill the Void King, the war is over.”

The expression of all in the room grew solemn as this was a chance to finish everything and save countless lives. Failure was not an option.
