The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 796: The new Godslayer Humankind Emperor (II)

The Silver City was already packed with people from all over the Gaia Continent, all influential figures with extraordinary powers who had come for the crowning ceremony and to pay their respects to the new Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

Immediately, everyone began to make their way to the massive Imperial Castle, where the crowning ceremony would occur. Of course, only a few distinguished people with extremely high status would enter the Imperial Castle, but from the youngest child to the elders, everyone wanted to be as close as they could to the castle. After all, it was a significant event that was taking place today.

Cain could see how the people moved. His eyes grew sharp as he took a deep breath, and slowly, his aura began to grow more powerful. The Scarlet King usually kept it hidden, even during battles, to confuse the enemy and avoid their perception whenever possible.

However, today was different, as it was important for him to show his might to the empire and the sense of order and stability he wanted to enforce.

The might of his physical strength, vitality, energy pools, and Laws began to permeate the air, making the sky tremble and keep growing higher. It didnʼt take long for a sky-blue and golden glow to emerge from his figure as his eyes blazed with a red light that seemed endless, revealing willpower that seemed even more massive than the Endless Ocean.

Next, a red robe covered his body made of embers of the Fire Law, with the word ”King” engraved on the back. Finally, his red mask appeared above his face, showing only his three eyes.

For this event, he would not only be Cain Laurifer. He was the Scarlet King, Supreme Leader of the Scarlet Alliance, and the strongest human in the world. Only after those preparations were over did Cain teleport into the Imperial Castle.

The hall of the Imperial Castle, where the crowning ceremony would take place, was massive, and the word majestic did not do it justice. Its walls were adorned with the banners and crests of the empireʼs former Emperors, each a testament to centuries of history and allegiance.

Of course, the Fourth Goldsayer Humankind Emperor, the Azure Emperorʼs emblem, was taken away. It was odd to see an empty spot, but none of them said a word and just pretended it never existed.

High, stained-glass windows cast a kaleidoscope of light upon the gathered assembly, illuminating faces awash with anticipation and the intricate mosaic floor below, which tells the empireʼs history in vibrant, colored tiles. The air is heavy with the scent of incense and the sound of a ceremonial choir, their voices echoing off the stone in a solemn hymn.

At the heart of the hall, a magnificent throne stood firm, carved from dark wood and inlaid with gold and precious stones, awaiting the new master of the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

All the people in the hall stood straight as they gazed forward, their eyes full of resolution and determination. At the head were the strongest and most honorable heroes of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, including the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar, the Diamond Saint Duke, the Golden Core Duke, and many others.

Ahead of those heroes were two more people: a middle-aged man with a weak cultivation base yet an imposing aura and a man with physical might that seemed to rival the heavens, donning majestic armor and a scarlet cape.

The duo were the Prime Minister and future Emperor of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, Minxet and the Collapsing Lightning Duke. Even they, who were second to none in the new government system of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, stood straight and with a dignified expression.

All eyes focused ahead, and while it might seem like they were focusing on the throne, their true focus was on the podium above it. Such a structure would not usually make sense; after all, the throne was meant to signify the power of the Emperor, and no one should be above him, but in the Goldsayer Humankind Empire, there was one even higher.

On the podium was a beautiful young woman with red hair. She remained standing as well, and while she did her best, she could not help but feel nervous.

It wasnʼt that the powerhouses were trying to pressure Shura since none of them would dare do such a thing. However, it was a tremendous pressure to be under the gaze of such powerhouses and heroes, yet this was her place as the partner of the man everyone was waiting for.

”Rumble!”

The next second, a figure appeared on the podium, a man with a red mask. His mere presence made the entire castle tremble as his aura washed over all those who gazed upon him, making them feel as if they were in the presence of a cosmic force rather than a person.

Immediately, everyone in the hall, including the future Emperor, kneeled and bowed as they shouted in unison.

”Eternal glory to the Scarlet King!!!”

As Cain heard those words, his eyes began to glow. He unleashed the full might of his Ego Wave, releasing a majestic and monstrous red force field. The force field immediately covered the Imperial Castle. Still, it did not end there; it extended into the entire Silver City before expanding into the distance and rising into the sky.

None of the people in the hall dared to raise their heads, but they could see how the red force field expanded at a stunning speed, and soon shock and awe appeared in their souls when they saw how, even after going beyond 10 thousand kilometers in length, it kept growing larger!

The size of the Ego Eternal Path of Powerʼs force field could be compared with the amount of energy this one contained. Cain was still at the Second Realm, yet the red force field grew until it was 50 thousand kilometers in diameter, meaning his Ego Wave contained the same energy as a Late Divine Ascension Masterʼs Third Realm Ego Wave!
