The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 666: Commanding the Blood Duke

Usually, such actions would be heavily frowned upon and considered breaking the codes and rules of the Godslayer Humankind Empire since damaging the environment in such a drastic way generates overall damage to all forms of life, including humans, as well as the quality of Life Wave in the surroundings.

However, the north of Gaia was currently in a war, so how could anyone care about that, especially since the Imperial Court had practically left them to their fate against the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army?

”It should be enough.”

After analyzing the terrain, Cain was satisfied and focused on the six Recovery Capsules. He took the Blood Duke, Jessica, and the four Early Divine Ascension Masters out of the capsules before sending the life force he devoured from this massive forest into their bodies.

The sudden infusion of vitality made the group tremble for a moment, and slowly, they began to regain consciousness. The one whose condition was the best of the group was the Blood Duke since although his wounds were the worst, he had received a 21 Revolution Refinement, and the power of this one was exponentially more potent than a 19 Revolution Refinement.

The Blood Duke slowly opened his eyes, and there was dizziness in them. He remembered his last battle and how he fell unconscious shortly after killing that God from the Abyssal Clan, but then all turned black, and he had no idea how he got here.

The first thing the leader of the Blood Sea saw was a young man with white hair and golden eyes, and while this one had changed from the last time they interacted, there was no way he would forget that face.

”Cain!?”

There was shock and confusion in the voice of the Blood Duke. He couldnʼt help but shout as he saw the young man who was supposed to have perished under the claws of the Blood King.

Cain stared at the Blood Duke and simply nodded before gazing at the rest of the Divine Ascension Masters and making sure they were fine.

The Blood Duke was full of questions, but before he could open his mouth again, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and the Patriarch of the Aegon Family appeared next to the young man.

”Do not force yourself. I donʼt know how the battle affected your memories, but you were all in a severe and precarious condition. We have been keeping you in a coma for the past few months as we had no way of healing you. Luckily, the Scarlet King was able to use one of his secret arts to revert some of the damage done to your bodies.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs voice was sharp and severe, making it clear to the group that the one responsible for their recovery was none other than the young man.

The shock and awe in the Blood Duke exploded as he heard those words and turned to Cain. He was not alone since the other five Divine Ascension Masters were just as shocked to learn that the young man was able to heal them while True Titans could not.

The next second, the Blood Duke and the five Divine Ascension Masters began to analyze their surroundings, and they immediately noticed the dense aura of death that had seeped into the earth and sky to the point that the air was deadly to weak life forms.

Before they could overcome the shock and analyze what was happening, Cain spoke to them.

”As the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar said, you must not overexert yourselves. What I did right now was just treat your more severe wounds, and you are still far from being completely healed.”

Although the Divine Ascension Masters were still getting used to the idea that the one who brought them back from the grave was the young man who did not seem to be even thirty, they maintained focus and nodded with a solemn expression on their faces.

They could feel how their wounds were stable, and a lot of the damage was gone, but they would be lucky to deploy over 30% of their battle strength in their condition.

The only one who did not feel that way was the Blood Duke, and the man couldnʼt help but frown as he perceived his condition was much better than what Cain described, and he could already deploy around 80% of his battle power. However, before the Titan could express his confusion and seek an answer, he heard Cainʼs voice echoing inside his mind.

ʼPlay along. Do not break the facade.ʼ

A flash of confusion appeared in the Blood Duke, but he noticed how the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and the Patriarch of the Aegon Family were discreetly glancing at him. Immediately, he hid his doubts and ensured the state of his life force and body resembled that of the other five.

Cain did not say a word but nodded in his mind as he saw how the Blood Duke could keep the facade so well. Although he did not like the man, he had to admit that the Blood Duke was top-tier when it came to schemes and acting.

The next second, Cain made six red armors with engravings of blood snakes appear. They were all Platinum Artifacts, not useful for the group, but the purpose was not to help them in battle but to cover their bodies entirely.

”We will now return to the Collapsing Lightning Alliance Headquarters in the Golden Core City. You will use these armors to cover your bodies and faces. During the journey, allow your energy pool to unleash its radiation so people can perceive your cultivation base, but hide your auras, bloodlines, and anything else that might reveal your identities.”

Confusion appeared on the faces of the Divine Ascension Masters as they heard those instructions. However, seeing the severe light in the eyes of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar made it clear to all that it was not a request but a command.
