The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 730: Unbreakable King

The Silent Glow Sector was a coastal region, the closest to the Prometheus Sector and Eden. Due to its billions of inhabitants, it was once vibrant with life but was now desolate, and the only thing that remained from those people were stains of blood on the ground.

Every city and forest had been leveled under the march of the Blood Chimera Locusts. As for the humans and Wave Beasts living there, they suffered the same fate beneath the maws of those hybrid monsters.

Near the Silent Glow Sector border, a desolate poisonous swamp generated a dense toxic fog that covered the earth and sky, a place even Apotheosis Masters could not approach as their blood would melt. However, two figures lived in this desolate area full of death, both possessing powers that could outmatch H-bombs, yet they concealed their auras carefully.

One had a vibrant yet chaotic life force. Though humanoid, he looked more like a beast, with the heads of a wolf, tiger, and lion protruding from his chest, draconic wings on his back, and three massive snake-like tails.

The other was a man with an extremely muscular build. His body was covered with layers of white exoskeletal material that mimicked the flow and striations of muscle fibers. The exoskeleton was intricate, with swirling patterns suggesting a fusion of organic form and artistic sculpture.

His body was hairless, and upon closer inspection, one could see similarities with the Battle Vessel of the Undying King, suggesting a relation between this man and the person the Undying King turned into a puppet.

”Chimera King, are you sure this place is safe? You and the Undying King were already spotted here at the start of The Great Cataclysm.”

”Thatʼs exactly why weʼre safe here, Unbreakable King. No one will expect us to return, and the waves of destruction and death should be enough to mask our auras. Besides, no one around could spot something off and inform the Scarlet Alliance.”

The Unbreakable King frowned deeper upon hearing those two last words. Unlike the Godslayer Humankind Empireʼs Imperial Court, which was tactical with them, not actively persecuting for fear of their retaliation, the Scarlet Alliance made it clear they were hunting them and offered a massive amount of wealth in exchange for even the slightest clue.

Normally, if a new force dared to act like that with The Organization, the Dark Kings would have destroyed it, leaving no survivors. Yet, the Scarlet Alliance was not only extremely powerful, but they also had the Scarlet King.

Although none of the remaining Dark Kings had personally encountered the Scarlet King, they heard the tales of the Shadow King and the Undying King. The duo had revealed everything they knew to the other Dark Kings before they were captured.

”Damn it. What is the Void King doing!? He told us he would be absent more than a month ago, and itʼs impossible to communicate with him now! He is supposed to be the leader, yet he hides like a coward!”

The anxiety and apprehension made the Unbreakable King explode with rage directed toward their fearless leader, who was nowhere to be seen.

Usually, any questioning or offense against the Void King, no matter how minor, would be considered a grave crime within The Organization, but the Chimera King could only sigh.

”Ahhh, who would have thought that less than a year ago, we were on the verge of occupying Gaiaʼs north, yet now we can only hide like rats.”

The Organization, the unique underworld force of Gaia, supposed to equal empires, had been reduced to a mere shadow of itself, with the Blood King, Shadow King, Undying King, and Soul King gone and the Void King nowhere to be seen.

The two Dark Kings were at a loss on what to do next, as they had come to rely on the Void King to make such decisions. Right now, the only path forward was to aim at the Astral Sea, as not even the Endless Sea was secure at this point, but it was not so simple.

Attempting to rise beyond the Divine Ascension Realm would take them decades, and while forcibly making their way through the Crystal Wall would take only a few weeks, it would draw attention, something they could not afford.

”Our safest path is to wait out the storm. We must focus on our cultivation, keeping a low profile until we can finally break through and escape into the Astral Sea.”

The Unbreakable King frowned as he heard the Chimera Kingʼs plan. Some, like the Shadow King and Undying King, joined The Organization to seek revenge, but others, like him and the Chimera King, did it to gain power.

Although they were True Titans and stood at the zenith of Aether, they understood that all that status would fade once they embarked on their new path in the Astral Sea.

Although they had no idea what awaited them there, it was clear they would be far from exceptional, so the Dark Kings wanted something that could help them gain an edge, which the Void King promised they would gain upon succeeding during The Great Cataclysm.

However, it was clear by now that The Organization had lost its bet, so thinking about enhancing their destiny before marching into the Astral Sea was nothing but a foolish dream at this point.

Just as the Unbreakable King was about to agree with the Chimera King, he felt the blood inside his body burn. Shock and dread appeared in his eyes as his instincts began to scream danger, but before he could utter a word or make a move, the poisonous swamp in which they had been hiding exploded.

”BOOOOMMMM!”

The Dark Kings rose from the blast of gray flaming aura with burns all over their bodies, and shock appeared on their faces as they saw the nine gargantuan spheres of golden-silver fire surrounding them, casting a massive flaming web.

”Two for the price of one. I guess I am lucky.”
