The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 767: Abyssal Frost Falchion (I)

Cain could feel the increase in strength from the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, but his eyes soon grew solemn. The man had become much more powerful and could face even the mightiest of the True Titans in Aether after the 21 Revolution Refinement and his new bloodline, but that might not be enough to face the enemies that will rise in the Silver City.

The power of the Godslayer Humankind Empire was not so immense as to threaten Cain after all the power he had gained. After all, if that were the case, they would have long ago invaded Atlas. However, the force behind The Organization would not lose this chance to take him down, and he needed to be prepared.

Of all the warriors of the Scarlet Alliance, the only one Cain trusted would help during the assault on the Silver City was the Collapsing Lightning Duke. Even though his cultivation base fell to the Middle Divine Ascension, the manʼs battle power seemed to have risen beyond the limit of the True Titan Tier after overcoming his True Flesh Tribulation and mastering the Gravity Fall Armor.

The other Divine Ascension Masters were not cowards and would fight to the death in his name, but Cain would not bring them into a battlefield where they would be of no help and, if anything, they would become a burden. Their mission would be to siege the Silver City, making sure no external threat could arise, giving him something less to worry about.

ʼIt would not be enough.ʼ

A determined light appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he turned toward the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar.

”Do you have your treasures with you?”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was slightly confused by that question. However, the Collapsing Lightning Duke smiled as he understood the meaning behind those words.

”I do carry all my treasures with me, King. Is there something you need?”

Cain only shook his head when he heard that question. He covered the Collapsing Lightning Duke and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar with his Ego Wave before teleporting to the [Samsara Arsenal Module] First Layer.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was shocked to see such a massive dimension, and before he could process all that was happening, he heard Cainʼs voice.

”Come with me.”

Cain said nothing else before grabbing the corpse of the Chimera King from the ground and walking toward the Samsara Sacrificial Ground.

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was still shocked, but upon hearing Cainʼs words and seeing the smile of the Collapsing Lightning Duke, he began to walk, soon reaching a massive castle. The moment the gates were opened, and he saw the purple flame, a sense of shock and awe filled his heart.

Cain and the Collapsing Lightning Duke saw the dumbstruck expression on the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar when he saw the Samsara Flame but did not mock him; after all, they had reacted the same way.

”That is the Samsara Flame. By sacrificing precious treasures, you can obtain Gifts like my Space-Time Samsara Eye or Gabrielʼs Gravity Fall Armor. It can also give you a Rebirth Mark, like the one I currently have in my right hand, which can be used to enhance your battle power or redo your Calamities.”

The Scarlet Kingʼs words brought the First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs attention back to reality, and his eyes widened with shock and desire. He had obviously been curious about the Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs enhanced foundation and armor but did not ask, as he knew the Scarlet King would reveal those secrets to him once he grew powerful enough to bear them.

Once again, the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar turned toward the Samsara Flame, this time not just lost in its majesty but with desire and thrill.

”So, I should just hand my treasures to the Samsara Flame?”

”Yes. The more valuable and evil, the more Fortune you will get. Here, also use this.”

Cain answered the First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs question before throwing the Chimera Kingʼs corpse at the man.

A sharp light appeared in the First Collapsing Lightning Pillarʼs eyes as he heard the word ʼevil.ʼ Without wasting time, he began to take treasures from his space ring. Most of them were weak Divine Ascension Treasures, and there were some that could even be considered Apotheosis Treasures.

Cain focused on all the treasures that the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar was taking out, and while they were indeed plenty, the Samsara Flame took more emphasis on quality than quantity. He already had an approximate idea of how much Fortune any type of treasure would give and did not know whether or not this would be enough for at least a Tier I Gift.

However, his eyes widened as the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar took the last treasure from his space ring, a massive flag. On it, there were thousands or maybe even tens of thousands of howling faces that did not stop moving.

Cainʼs eyes grew sharp as he focused on the howling faces and understood their true nature.

”Those are souls.”

”Yes. This is the treasure I obtained from an Atrox God I faced nearly one hundred years ago. I was a Titan back then, but the Atrox was only a Middle Divine Ascension Realm Master. Yet, using this Soul Flag, he nearly killed me.”

A flash of trepidation appeared in the eyes of the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar as he uttered those words. Before the clash with the Depravita of Blood, the fight with that Atrox God had been the closest he was to perishing.

As Cain focused on the flag, a small smile appeared. This Soul Flag was not as powerful as the gravitational heart that the Collapsing Lightning Duke sacrificed, but it was definitely way more evil, something the Samsara Flame truly enjoyed.

As for the souls trapped inside, even with his understanding of the soul he obtained from the Soul King, there was no way to help them, which could be considered mercy.
