The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 677: The plight of the Gods (II)

[The forces coming are only Apotheosis Masters and Divine Ascension Masters. They also carry with them those metallic towers brought by the Scarlet King and are led by the Collapsing Lightning Duke.]

General Casidius clenched his fists as he saw the temerity in the Collapsing Lightning Alliance. They left the weaker troops behind, exposing their warriors to higher risk but also improving their speed to the point that the Inferno Daemonʼs great generals were caught off guard.

A solemn light appeared in all the great generals as they understood that the withdrawal would not be as clean as they initially thought. Remaining and fighting would mean their death, forcing them to make a choice.

”If we keep our focus on our resources, we should be able to take most of them before the Collapsing Lightning Alliance overcomes our defenses, but there will be no time to allow the millions of lower-level troops to escape.”

General Casidius spoke in a solemn voice as he was forced with a very hard choice. While one would think lives were always more valuable than resources, war was not black and white.

If they left their resources behind and prioritized the lower-level soldiers, their situation in the Zafire Sector would become dire. Unless the empire sent them new resources, they would have no choice but to escape further north once again.

”The formation brought by the Scarlet King will suppress all of our Wave Warriors and Wave Champions, so they should evacuate immediately. As for the treasures, we will only bring out the top-tier treasures and leave the rest.”

General Casidius knew there would be harsh punishment for leaving so many resources behind. Still, his eyes were resolute as he decided the lives of his soldiers took priority over wealth.

All five great generals nodded at General Casidiusʼ words and began to mobilize their troops. Soon, alarms began to echo across the Golden Core Trinity Dark Towers.

...

Explosions filled the sky above the Trinity Dark Towers as the Collapsing Lightning Alliance and the Inferno Daemon Invasion Armyʼs forces fought with all they had.

Although the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army no longer had the assistance of the Dark Kings and had lost five of its Gods, they were able to face the Collapsing Lightning Duke, Cain, Angar, and the dozens of Divine Ascension Masters and hundreds of Apotheosis Masters on equal ground.

That impressive feat was thanks to the three God Towers that reinforced each Inferno Daemon warrior with an overwhelming amount of energy. Not only that, but the God Towers also unleashed energy beams every second against the most powerful warriors of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance, and they also generated a force field that protected everyone inside the headquarters.

Of course, such extraordinary abilities require an equally extraordinary amount of energy.

The God Towers were going on overload, not only consuming titanic amounts of energy but also generating so much pressure that their formations began to break down. It was just a matter of time before the God Towers stopped working.

The great generals of the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army understood all this, but it was not a problem since the God Towers were not meant to last beyond this clash.

Cainʼs eyes were cold as he faced an Abyssal Clan God in dark armor. The God relied only on his arms and legs, yet his movements were full of variations, and if that was not enough, they also carried a sonic force.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!”

Cain used his forearm to block the blow of the Abyssal God without a problem, yet the next second, he clenched his teeth, and an expression of pain and discomfort assailed him. Every time the Abyssal God landed an attack, it would release a powerful sonic blast that seemed to converge on Cain, disorienting him.

Although his flesh, bones, and even tendons had been tempered to the point of exchanging blows with True Titans, the manʼs attack carried not only physical might but also a sonic force that affected his nervous system.

Despite the disorientation, Cain could react in time to avoid a kick aimed at his head, but just as he did that, he detected a beam of energy emerging from one of the God Towers.

He was in no position to dodge but did not need to do it since he could use The Flow for such a simple energy attack.

A sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Abyssal God as he saw how the young man in front of him could push away an energy beam that could make a hole in the chest of a Titan with nothing but a simple touch.

The Godʼs name was Zinir, and thanks to the energy reinforcement of the God Tower, his battle power neared that of a True God, yet the young man could fight him head-on.

Zinir had not forgotten about Cainʼs first appearance and how he managed to kill a God in a single move, but back then, that great general was already wounded, and the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation diminished his power.

Initially, Zinir thought Cain was just lucky, and the great general was careless, but this fight proved things were not so simple.

Cain did not care about the thoughts that passed through the mind of the Abyssal God. After sending that energy beam away, he flashed forward and sent a powerful punch charged with sun force and spatial storms.

Zinir was a seasoned soldier, so despite the shock at Cainʼs battle power, he was able to remain focused and counter the punch with a kick. He perceived space distortion as they were about to clash, and the young man moved a few centimeters to the left. While it was minimal, it was enough for Cain to dodge the blow and break through the manʼs defense, sending his strike to the Godʼs liver.

The Abyssal Godʼs body trembled as he felt the power in that punch seem to move past his arm and explode inside his body, wreaking havoc on his inner organs. Luckily, the energy reinforcement allowed him to resist and counter with an elbow strike to the back of Cainʼs head.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he felt the attack and was about to turn around and raise both arms, using them as a shield.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!”

Cain was sent flying away, with blood coming out of his ears due to the sonic blast, but he clenched his teeth and forcefully regained control over his body before flashing back into battle.
