The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 681 The truth of The Organization

Cainʼs eye socket glowed with a dense red light as he witnessed how his bones, harder than an Adamantium Artifact, began to crumble to dust. It started with the finger on his hand and slowly made its way up.

If having his flesh melt was painful, the process of crumbling his bones to dust gave Cain the most excruciating pain of his entire life. It was an agony so intense that his mind urged him to stop the process immediately, and it would not be difficult since Cain knew that he just needed to resist for the Bone Calamity to be over, but that would also cripple his Astral Rebirth Path of Power.

The more his bones were destroyed, the stronger they would be upon reconstruction, and if he stopped before pulverizing every single one, there would always be a flaw left in his foundation that would haunt him in the future.

So, despite the agony that made him want to scream like a madman, Cain endured the pain and counted the seconds for the process to be over. That was the only thing his mind could process right now, so he could not see what was happening outside the Crystallized Blood Cocoon.

Shura had not taken her eyes away from the cocoon and saw how, once it was complete, the worldʼs power began to drive vitality into it. Luckily for Cain, the pool of boiling golden blood had enough life force to feed a True Titan, so he would have no problem on that front.

...

While Cain was going through his Bone Calamity, the Void King slowly opened his eyes, and as he regained consciousness, he felt every muscle and bone in his body trembling with pain. That was the result of pushing his body beyond its limits before having recovered from the backlash of Stellar Dive.

However, all that was pushed to the back of his mind as the Dark King remembered the monstrous dark hand that pulled him out of that desperate situation.

A somber expression appeared on the Void Kingʼs face since, just like the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the Scarlet King, he was oblivious to the nature of that demonic hand. He used what little strength he had left to rise from the ground and analyze his surroundings.

There was a dark sky above him covered by what seemed to be perpetual storm clouds, and the ground beneath him was black, scorched beyond remedy. The Void King immediately figured out where he was as he recognized the border between the Gaia Continent, home of the Godslayer Humankind, and the Atlas Continent, inhabited by the Inferno Daemon Race.

The flames of war had filled this place with an aura of death and destruction that seemed to have impregnated the fabric of space. Mighty armies of both the Godslayer Humankind Empire and the Inferno Daemon Empire usually surrounded the border. Yet, since the war had moved into Gaia, it was now empty.

”You woke up just in time.”

Shock appeared in the eyes of the Void King as he heard those words, and only then did he notice the figure next to him. It belonged to a young man with a massive build and red skin.

”Horus Ekleipsis?”

There was no way the Void King would not recognize the man before him since this person facilitated the alliance between The Organization and the Inferno Daemon Empire to attack Gaia.

Confusion, doubt, and suspicion appeared in the Void Kingʼs eyes as he stared at the Imperial Prince since the young man was supposed to be only an enigmatic and ambitious individual, not someone capable of conjuring a spell that could help him escape from the claws of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance.

Horus glanced at the Void King, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked ahead.

”Turn around, or you will miss it.”

The Void King could not help but frown as he heard the manʼs words, and as he turned his head to where this one was gazing, a new wave of shock appeared in his eyes.

What the Void King saw was the Blood King chained to two metallic pillars in the form of an ”X,” while four individuals in dark robes were engraving signs with their dark blood on the manʼs body.

”What is the meaning of this? What do you think you are doing to my soldier!”

Although the Void King felt nothing but disdain for the Blood King, the man was still one of the Ten Dark Kings of The Organization. If they did not respect his man, that meant they did not respect him, and that was something the Void King would not tolerate.

Horusʼ smile faded as he heard the defiant tone in the Void Kingʼs voice, and then he turned to him with emotionless eyes that depicted a sense of brutality no sentient life form should be able to unleash.

”Careful, boy. You have been a good pawn all these years, and I still have plans for you, but do not forget your place. I guided you in your dreams and helped you create your little group, and I can do whatever I want with any of you.”

The Void King could not help but tremble in front of those eyes as he had never felt this much fear before, but that soon took a second place as a sense of utter and absolute shock assaulted him once he analyzed Horusʼ words.

Most people in Aether believed that The Organization was a force led by ten True Titans, but those at a high enough level knew that the true mastermind and origin of this powerful underworld force was the Void King.

He was a supreme and mysterious genius of the Godslayer Humankind who managed to assemble all other Dark Factions of Gaia under his rule and could entice True Titans from all across Aether to side with him.

While the Emperors loathed the Void King, they all had to admit he was a formidable figure with a mind like no one else. However, no one knew that someone helped the Void King every step of the way.
