The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 729: Handing over a Dark King

Magnus exhaled, relaxing now that he saw his grandfather would follow him and, therefore, the entire Hellblazer Family on this new dangerous path. With newfound resolve, and turned toward Cain.

”Can we have a private talk.?”

The young man had proved his sincerity and determination by asking about Cainʼs requirements in the open, but the next part involved secrets that it was best not to reveal.

Cain observed the duo for a moment and then raised his right index finger into the sky, creating a small tear in space before diving inside.

”We can talk in private here.”

Magnus and Gladiusʼ eyes widened as they heard the voice coming from inside that tear. It was clear to the duo that the incision in the sky was not a simple cut in the fabric of space but a pocket dimension that Cain managed to create using his power.

That ability was not unique since there was the technology behind space rings, but to do it with such ease and without any sort of matrix formation helping him meant that Cainʼs mastery over the Law of Space was incredibly high.

”His domain over the Law of Space must be well within the Law Integration Realm.”

Gladius might not follow the Essence Evolution Path of Power, but his cultivation base and soul force allowed him to recognize the might of such power.

Although entering the pocket dimension would put the duo to Cainʼs mercy, there was not much difference than on the outside. The duo did not waste time and flashed into the tear in space, disappearing inside before it closed, completely isolating the dimension from the outside world.

Magnus and Gladius found themselves in a small dimension full of chaotic energy and unstable space. This is something to be expected, as Cain created this pocket dimension in a second and did not really focus on its durability.

”What do you want to tell me? No one can hear us or see us here.”

Cain spoke to the duo, his face calm. He honestly did not believe they could have something that would draw his interest. There was no way the Hellblazer Family could have a treasure he could not get himself, and the [A.I. Chip Module] granted him access to nearly all the information of the empire.

Gladius and Magnus looked at each other and nodded, deciding that the young man would take the lead in this exchange.

”If you allow us into the Scarlet Alliance and promise to treat us fairly, we will give you a Dark King.”

Magnus had just finished his sentence when he felt a suffocating cold aura fill the pocket dimension. It was not only him; even Gladius felt his entire body freezing and his energy growing sluggish.

The duo saw how Cainʼs eyes had turned cold and glowed with a red light that depicted unrestrained brutality and killing intent.

”If you are working with The Organization, I suggest you give me all you know now.”

Cain paused at this point, and then the duo saw rows of sharp teeth appear on his third eye. The nature of the Space-Time Eye changed from the impartial and objective power of the Laws to the ferocious and famished force of Gluttonyʼs Concept.

”If you refuse, I will simply devour your souls. One way or the other, I will get my answers.”

Magnus could not stop trembling. The power of Gluttonyʼs Eye made him feel as if the small dimension had turned into the maw of a ravenous beast, ready to close its jaws on them at any second. However, he used all he had to regain focus and speak.

”We are not working with The Organization. We would never ally with a force that doesnʼt dare to show its face and hides in the dark.”

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he heard those words. Magnus did not claim pride and honor in keeping them from The Organization but instead stated they were too weak to throw their weight on them.

After a second, seeing honesty in the young manʼs eyes, Cainʼs Gluttonyʼs Eye vanished, returning to the normal Space-Time Eye.

”A Dark King is indeed a big whale and would gain you my favor. However, each is a True Titan; how could you possibly hand one to me?”

Once the horrible power of the Gluttony Concept faded, Magnus could breathe once again. He showed great mental fortitude by recovering very fast.

”My grandfather once clashed with a Dark King nearly two hundred years ago. He was forced to escape with severe injuries but managed to take a piece of that manʼs body and blood with him.”

A flash of fear and trepidation appeared in the Hellblazer Duke as he remembered that clash and how close he was to dying. He was able to take a piece of that Dark Kingʼs body with him and immediately sealed it, intending to use it to unleash all kinds of curses if that person ever tried to attack him again.

”I am sure there must be someone in the Scarlet Alliance capable of using this flesh and blood to track that Dark Kingʼs location.”

Magnus was aware of the uses the blood and flesh of a powerful entity would have in the hands of a master, which was why he was so confident in his proposal. Right now, the only thing that saved the Dark Kings from the Scarlet King was their anonymity, and if they were discovered, it would be their end.

Cainʼs eyes glowed with desire as a smile appeared on his face. He had the Soul Tracker Spell, and while their energy radiation and soul force protected powerful life forms from such spells, if he used flesh and blood as a catalyst, he could find anyone as long as they were on the Gaia Continent.

”Give me the blood of the Dark King. If it turns out useful, you will have gained the right to enter the Scarlet Alliance and will be by my side as we march into Eden.”
