The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 786 Scarlet Emblem

”I humbly accept this honor, my King. I will not fail you.”

Regardless of the thoughts and questions going through his mind, Minxet kneeled in the sky and lowered his head. All the other powerhouses remained silent as they saw that, and it was clear that when it came to the core structure and governance of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, the Scarlet King would have the final word.

Cain nodded to Minxet before making him rise. Then his eyes gazed at all the other powerhouses present, and immense pressure began to emanate from his body and soul.

”Rumble!”

The powerhouses were surprised that Cain could easily unleash enough energy to make the sky tremble after all those battles. All felt a suffocating aura, making it clear how immense the difference between their power was.

”The responsible for the calamities that befell the Godslayer Humankind is none other than the Crown Prince, Michael Goldsoul, and Minister Varin. Both schemed together with The Organization, and ambushed the Golden Emperor in his Imperial Abode.”

Cainʼs words caused frowns and confusion among all the powerhouses. It was clear to all that the Crown Prince was responsible for the havoc on the empire, and there were definitely other parties involved, but Minister Varin was nothing but a small ant, inconsequential, and could never achieve something like that.

Yet the Scarlet King was clearly not asking for feedback, and they all silently listened.

”The Golden Emperor fought bravely, but the duo surprised him. He was then afflicted by a powerful curse and forced to lock himself to contain it, as the curse could kill everyone in an entire Sector if set free. He resisted bravely and with honor up to the last moment when I mercifully ended his life and the curse.”

Cain paused at this point, and his eyes began to lose all emotion, making the hearts and souls of those who glanced at him grow cold and tremble with fear.

”The Golden Emperor was a great man, and any disparagement of his name will be considered an affront against me!”

Silence reigned as Cain uttered those words. The powerhouses understood that Cain was manufacturing history to keep the name of the Golden Emperor clean and save him from dishonor.

All the powerhouses silently nodded, and many even smiled as they were happy; after all, many had known the man and did not want to see the Golden Emperorʼs name tarnished.

Cain still had a soft spot for fathers who did their best for their children, so he was willing to let the man keep his honor. Besides, it was not like he could reveal Horusʼ name here. After making sure that everyone understood the severity of his words, coldness appeared in his eyes.

”However, even if the Golden Emperor was a hero, his son did a horrible thing to the empire. Due to Michael Goldsoulʼs crimes, the Golden Emperor Bloodline will lose its Royal Status, and Kamel Goldsoul will be sent to the Feather Prison, where he will spend the rest of his life. That will be the punishment for the Goldsoul Family.

As for Minister Varin, since he doesnʼt have family or any living loved ones, may his name be stricken from the empireʼs records, and we will make it as if he never existed.

That is my decree. Anyone that questions will be questioning my authority!”

Those words echoed across the sky and reached the earth. There would be no more discussion about punishment for the Goldsoul Family, and everything would end with the loss of their Royal Status.

”Your words are law, my King. I will make sure everything is handled according to your desires.”

Prime Minister Minxet bowed toward Cain, and his eyes were resolute as he was ready to work.

Cain nodded and glanced at all the powerhouses waiting for his words, their eyes full of wonder and excitement as they waited for the name of the new Goldslayer Humankind Emperor. Someone else had to if the Scarlet King would not rise to that position.

”The crowning ceremony for the new Emperor and the bestowal of gifts and rewards will take place soon. However, before all those formalities and rituals, the Silver City must be restored to its splendor, with a direct communication network of all the Sectors, and the civilians must be returned to their homes.

Prime Minister Minxet. You will be in charge of that. I expect everything to be in order in less than ten days.”

When Cain finished his words, he sent a small scarlet emblem toward the middle-aged man, who caught it with confusion.

It was a simple piece of Adamantium Metal painted scarlet with what seemed to be an Ego Mark.

”That is the Scarlet Emblem. Anyone with it can say they are speaking on my behalf. Going against them is like going against me.”

The powerhousesʼ eyes were filled with shock and awe as they heard those words. That piece of metal that had no value before became an astonishing treasure that would make you immortal in the Godslayer Humankind Empire; after all, only a suicidal fool would go against the Scarlet King.

Prime Minister Minxetʼs face showed a broad smile as he held the emblem tightly. With it, he could work unrestrained across the entire Gaia Continent, and no one would dare to oppose him, making his job much more efficient. Of course, the man did not lose focus, and he stored the emblem before bowing.

”I will make sure everything is ready before the ten-day limit, my King.”

After that, Cain waved his hand, sending all the powerhouses away, leaving only him, the Collapsing Lightning Duke, and the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar in the sky.

Cain took a deep breath as he exhaled while hundreds of questions and worries weighed on his shoulder. He could not help but look up at the Crystal Wall and imagine the Astral Sea. How much freedom could he obtain if he just went there?
