The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 785 The death of the Golden Emperor (II)

Cainʼs eyes glowed with focus as he incinerated the Golden Emperorʼs head, then extended his gray flaming aura across the rest of the manʼs body. He made sure to burn every cell of the man but also focused on minimizing the destruction of the black root to the minimum.

It took Cain less than ten seconds to burn every inch of the Golden Emperorʼs body, leaving a massive black root in place.

Cainʼs eyes narrowed as he stepped back, just in time to avoid the black root that lashed toward him. Like the evil halberd, this thing was alive, and now that the Golden Emperor was gone, it began to search for a new host it could consume.

”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!” ”¡BOOM!”

The black roots swirled around the cultivation abode as they reached toward Cain. Having consumed so much of the Golden Emperor, it had become very powerful, enough to overwhelm an ordinary Titan without a problem.

However, even exhausted, Cainʼs power was much higher than that. His energy burst as he flashed forward, grabbed the black root, and forcefully ripped it from the ground before slamming it against the ceiling.

The black root seemed to feel no pain. Even as it was smashed with so much power that it could have shattered a Divine Ascension Masterʼs body, it did not stop struggling, sending hundreds of tendrils to pierce Cainʼs body.

”Clack!” ”Clack!” ”Clack!”

However, the moment the tendrils crashed into Cainʼs body, metal hitting metal echoed. The black rootʼs tendrils were unable to pierce through Cainʼs flesh!

Of course, Cain did not become careless; after all, it could still enter through an open wound or another orifice, and once inside his body, it would be very hard to fight back. Without wasting time, his Space-Time Eye began to glow, and the Solar Tempest Essence began to flow into the black root.

Cainʼs focus reached its limit as he started sealing the black rootʼs energy channels. He then flowed in his Essence Wave, searching for the will of this thing that seemed to be spread all around its body and began to strike it with ferocity.

Despite its power and endurance, the black root lacked a proper will and soul, so even Cainʼs Second Realm Ego Wave could easily paralyze its thoughts.

After fully sealing the energy and mind of the black root, Cainʼs eyes glowed, and he made it disappear, sending it to the [Samsara Arsenal Module]ʼs First Layer, the only place he was sure it could not break free from and where no one could interact with it.

While Cain was dealing with the black root, something else happened in Silver City.

”Ding-Dong!”

The sound of bells echoed across the entire Silver City. They did not come from actual bells but from a secret formation connected to the life force of the Goldslayer Humankind Emperor. The ringing of the bells meant only one thing.

The Golden Emperor was dead.

The Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar knew this was a possibility when Cain descended into the Imperial Abode but still showed complicated expressions on their faces as they looked at each other. They knew about Horus and were smart enough to deduce that he was responsible for the chaos in the Goldslayer Humankind Empire, using Michael Goldsoul as a proxy.

The duo had met the Golden Emperor many times and could say they had established a good relationship. The Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar admired the manʼs resolve, immense power, and incredible military feats.

The Golden Emperor was a great man but, unfortunately, fell to the schemes of his first son, and now he was dead.

The sound of bells rang not only in Silver City, as there were such formations all across the Sectors. After all, the death of an Emperor was an extremely important event.

Usually, such news would have sent the Godslayer Humankind Empire into chaos, but fortunately, things have not gone that route now. All the Sector Dukes had been preparing for such an event, and the masses were also prepared after seeing the fall of the Azure Emperor Bloodline.

Thanks to his subtlety and gradual approach, Cain avoided chaos. While there was still some instability in the Godslayer Humankind Empire, as soon as a new center of government and power was established, everything would be in order again.

---

The bells rang for an entire minute across Silver City, and the next second, a figure flashed from the crevice built beneath the Imperial Castle.

Cain glanced at the Collapsing Lightning Duke and First Collapsing Lightning Pillar as he flashed into the sky, and the duo immediately followed him. It did not take them long to reach over one hundred thousand meters above the ground, and they stood there as dozens of figures flashed toward them.

Cain observed dozens of powerhouses appear in the sky, all looking at him with complicated expressions. He remained silent, waiting until the old Prime Minister Minxet finally appeared.

”Minxet, come forward.”

As soon as he heard his name, the man moved forward until he stood before Cain and performed a deep bow.

”My King.”

”I now declare you the new Prime Minister of the Godslayer Humankind Empire and one of the Six Chief Counselors of the Scarlet Alliance.”

When Minxet heard those words, a sharp light appeared in his eyes. The fact that he had recovered his old position was not really a surprise, as he was the most apt for the job and had proved that to the Scarlet King by saving the millions inside Silver City, including the members of the Imperial Army.

However, the last part about the Chief Counselor of the Scarlet Alliance had many meanings. The Scarlet Alliance was built, in essence, to take down the corrupted Imperial Court and should no longer exist now that the battle was over.

If the Scarlet Alliance remained, it meant that Cain would not be taking the role of Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.
