The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 793: Time Laws

Cain smiled as he focused on his soul sea and glanced at the Sun Seed, which was much larger and more powerful than before. Now that the amount of his Ego Wave had increased and he had learned to harness the power of the Concepts of Power and Life, he could trigger the Radiance of Life and Radiance of Strength for a much longer period of time and with greater strength.

As for Solar Rupture Beam and Celestial Gluttony Maelstrom, he still had access to those abilities, but according to Cainʼs estimate, they could only unleash power that matched a True Titan. That was already incredibly high for an Ego Wave with Second Realm willpower, but it would not be helpful to Cain since his battle power had already risen beyond the True Titan Tier a long time ago.

Of course, that would change once Cain evolved his willpower to the Third Realm, but the skill would remain dormant until then.

With a thought, Cain emerged from the Tower of Concept, his body spotless and the light in his eyes stronger than ever.

”Mmm, I intended to stay there for several days, but I only stayed for less than two days.”

Usually, those who use the Tower of Concept focus on their abilities and use the Ego Wave of the Gods as a battling partner, but Cainʼs approach was much more overbearing, which was why he was also much faster.

After some consideration, Cain turned his eyes toward the Tower of Laws. The tower could not help him at all with the Elemental Laws or the Space Law, but it could be useful for the Time Law, at least moderately. Although he did not really employ the Law in his battle style or abilities, it was always good to have some mastery over it.

Not to mention that his Space-Time Eye gave him great talent in that aspect, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

Cain went to the Tower of Laws and placed his hand on it, vanishing the next second before appearing in a white room. His eyes narrowed as he felt different this time. Unlike with the Tower of Concepts and Tower of Stars, his body and soul did not fuse with the structure.

There were no words, but Cain knew what he needed to do.

”Time Laws.”

As soon as he uttered those words, the Tower of Laws sent him to a new dimension. It was a void full of chaotic gray storms that coursed at a shocking speed.

Once again, the Tower of Laws differed from the other two as there were no imposing voices, but Cain did not care and surveyed the surroundings.

He was at the center of the storm, and his Space-Time Eye allowed him to feel the power of the Law of Time in them. Time was in disarray in this place, constantly changing its flow, and some zones seemed to be able to paralyze his mind while others carried the power to accelerate his age hastily.

Navigating through these time storms was dangerous and could provoke great damage if one were not careful, but Cain was not afraid. The Space-Time Eye would show him any hazard, and he began to meditate.

Lately, humans had been a little tense due to the sudden waves of news that had spread across the Empire due to the bells that marked the end of the Golden Emperorʼs life.

However, from the Sector Dukes to the City Lords, they had already received orders from the new system of government deployed in the Silver City, making the initial wave of chaos and mayhem die down before it could even start.

A small child was walking down the streets of a city, and his eyes narrowed as he saw how people carried on with their everyday lives, not succumbing to panic. Actually, the sense of order and stability was even stronger than before the upheaval that assaulted the Silver City.

The boy showed nothing as he saw the state of the city, but there was intent behind his eyes, full of disappointment to see such peace. However, no one of the people present could detect it. He suddenly made a sharp turn and entered an alley away from prying eyes.

At that point, the child felt a hand reach the back of his head, shocking him to the core.

ʼHow?ʼ

The thought crossed the boyʼs mind, as he could not believe someone could manage to sneak up on him, and his shock only grew stronger as, the next second, an overwhelming space force took over his body, and he vanished.

The boy then found himself thousands of meters above the sky of a deserted mountain range, and before he could even react, he was sent hurtling down.

”BOOOOMMMM!”

A massive crater appeared where the boy crashed, and it should have killed him immediately, blasting his body to pieces, yet he was fine, and there was not a single wound on his body. He immediately rose from the ground with pure rage in his eyes as he surveyed the surroundings.

”Who dares to...”

The boyʼs voice was mighty and full of rage, yet as soon as he saw the figure in the sky, his entire body began to tremble with fear. His eyes widened as there was a sense of confusion and terror that paralyzed his body.

The one in the sky was a young man with white hair and three eyes, donning a red robe.

”Scarlet King.”

Those words came from the boyʼs mouth, filled with despair and hopelessness. Any other person he would dare to fight, but facing the Scarlet King was the same as facing the flow of time. It was a lost battle from the start.

Cainʼs eyes were cold yet calm as he stared at the small boy, his aura covering every corner of the surrounding area, making it impossible to escape or hide.

”So you are the Doppelganger King.”
