The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 667: The Void Kingʼs plight (I)

The Void King was on the highest level of a God Tower, utilizing the full power of the structure to flood his body with highly dense energy. At this moment, the strongest of the Dark Kings of The Organization was fully immersed in recovering, as the damage he suffered during the last skirmish was not minor.

Actually, the fight with the Collapsing Lightning Duke and then with the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar only left superficial wounds on his body from which he could completely heal in hours.

The actual reason for his deterioration was the backlash he received upon using Stellar Dive since not only was he forced to overexert his Ego Wave to push his body and soul to a level capable of that power, but his meridians were barely able to contain the massive burst of energy required by the technique.

Suddenly, the Void Kingʼs eyes opened, and he saw a figure covered in shadow appear.

”How did it go?”

The Shadow King saw the solemn expression in the Void King, and while the man was able to maintain a cool head, he knew this one long enough to see when he was worried.

”I thoroughly researched the area where Angarʼs Shadow Domain took place. The life in the area was totally drained, and that was not all. The power of death had completely impregnated the surroundings. I also detected traces of elemental essence that were left, most likely after the destruction of countless treasures.”

A deep frown appeared on the Void Kingʼs face as he heard those words. He had kept an eye on the reports sent by the silent spies placed by the Soul King at the start, and he had received very bad news.

The Void King expected that after crippling the Collapsing Lightning Duke, the Collapsing Lightning Alliance would show signs of crumbling and instability, but none of that happened. On the contrary, the armyʼs morale, from regular soldiers to great generals, seemed to have significantly risen.

Then he learned that Bloodless #1, one of the great generals with a Middle Divine Ascension Cultivation, had suddenly recovered his arm, and if that was not enough, his aura became much more powerful.

It was easy to trace the origin of all those changes to the young man whom the Void King wanted nothing more than to rip to pieces, but it was the news he received two days ago that truly shocked him.

The Scarlet King, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and the Patriarch of the Aegon Clan had left the Golden Core City. They reached a forest not far from there before hiding themselves in a Shadow Domain over 500 kilometers wide.

No one knew what they were doing, but the Shadow Domain vanished two weeks later, and the trio returned to the Golden Core City accompanied by six warriors in red armor.

Although the six individuals hid their identities behind red armor, they allowed people to perceive the radiation of their energy pools. Immediately, the hearts of the millions of soldiers in Golden Core City filled with thrill and excitement as they detected that they were all Divine Ascension Masters, and one was a mighty Titan!

The Void King hated to admit it, but showing a group of Divine Ascension Masters as reinforcemts was a great stunt, and he was sure the Collapsing Lightning Allianceʼs morale would be at an all-time high the next time they clashed.

However, what shocked and disturbed the Void King was what happened later. Just as Cain, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, and Angar were about to vanish inside the Titan Tower with the Divine Ascension Masters, one of them trembled as his vitality seemed to grow chaotic, and he unintentionally revealed his aura.

The aura of the Divine Ascension Master was immediately hidden, and the group vanished the next second. Still, it was enough for one of the spies to recognize the Titan among the group with red armor as none other than the Blood Duke!

”What do you think?”

The Void Kingʼs voice was solemn as he spoke to the Shadow King. Now that the Soul King was in a deep coma, the only one he could discuss his plans with was the man who covered his figure in shadows every day.

The Shadow King stared at the Void King and remained silent for an entire minute before answering.

”I was present during the clash in which the Blood Duke received those crippling wounds, and the man was lucky just to remain alive. The fact he could fly through the sky and, other than that short fluctuation in vitality, seemed completely fine would lead us to a single conclusion.

Cain Laurifer has an art that should be able to heal crippling injuries, even those in the bodies of Titans. If I am right, the other five warriors in red armor are the Divine Ascension Masters who ended up in a coma during the past few years.

This art required the power of the four elements and had a devastating effect on the life of the surroundings, which explains why they chose to do it away from Golden Core City.”

The Shadow Kingʼs voice was calm as always, but it was impossible to know if he was able to maintain such composure or was simply using his power to hide his emotional state. However, those words did have an effect on the Void King, whose face grew solemn as he spoke again.

”I received a new report a few hours ago. The great generals were summoned to the Titan Tower, and shortly after that, a new command was spread across the entire city. All soldiers, regardless of their ranks, needed to hand over all the elemental treasures they did not use immediately.”

The Shadow Kingʼs eyes narrowed as he heard that, and as he saw the somber expression on the Void King, a flash of worry appeared in his normally immutable voice.

”Are they preparing to heal the Collapsing Lightning Duke?”
