The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 812: The plight of the Inferno Daemon Empire (II)

”According to my knowledge of the Gaia Continent, the Godslayer Humankind Empire has also gone through a massive upheaval of cataclysmic proportions, with the Golden Emperor perishing and the entire Imperial Court destroyed. Even if their overall power exceeds ours, they surely lack control over the Sector and Titans.”

The speaker was a massive Abyssal Demon, towering and exuding a crushing aura. His name was Bloom, and he was one of the few True Gods still alive in the Inferno Daemon Race.

”Hmph, the current Godslayer Humankind Empire is nothing short of a flawless and well-oiled machine. No single shred of chaos can be witnessed in its domain, and the current Imperial Court has complete authority over the Imperial Army and the Sectors.

My counterpart, Mixet, is a wise bastard, and the current Emperor, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor, is known and respected by all the Titans in Gaia. Mobilizing their entire empireʼs force would be a walk in the park for those two if the Godslayer Humankind decided to attack us.

If you want to give your opinion, itʼs fine, but do not spout notions as fact that could lead us to the wrong decision!”

Rasputin sneered and mercilessly rebuked the True God, not caring about the difference in power.

”Will they really attack us at this point? If we fall, Dark Sky will go after them. It would be a shallow victory and only force them to face this new enemy. Could we try to reach some sort of agreement with them?”

The Dark Emperorʼs voice was solemn as he posed that question. Although he did not like the idea of being used as a shield, if that were what it took for the Godslayer Humankind Empire not to attack them and avoid the genocide of his race, he would bear the shame.

”Ah, Mixet and the Collapsing Lightning Emperor have always been practical and wise, so I would normally say yes, but things are more complicated. After all, we just launched a war of invasion less than a year ago, siding with The Organization and killing billions of civilians.”

A flash of shame appeared on the faces of Rasputin, the Dark Emperor, and many others. Killing soldiers was one thing, and they would feel no regret about that, but targeting the weak and elderly was downright disgusting and shameful.

Unless it were due to some personal vendetta, Inferno Daemon soldiers would never attack civilians, especially not in such ridiculous numbers. However, that happened due to the insistence of the Void King of The Organization, and Horus commanded the Gods in Gaia to carry out that order.

Of course, no one would begin to blame a dead man now, especially knowing the pain that the Dark Emperor felt at the death of his most beloved son.

”Besides, itʼs not like they would be hopeless against this new enemy like us. After all, they have someone capable of facing the Humanoids of Dark Sky.”

Silence reigned after Rasputin uttered those words until finally, the Dark Emperor voiced the thought in everyoneʼs mind.

”The Scarlet King.”

That was a name that had resonated with so much strength in Gaia that it reached the Atlas Continent. He was a young man not even thirty years old, yet capable of rallying the entire continent behind his might, destroying the old Imperial Court and ushering in a new one in the course of a few weeks, and placing his right-hand man on the Imperial Throne.

”Is that man really so powerful as to be able to face the Humanoids of Dark Sky?”

Once again, the True God Bloom spoke, but this time, he did not dare assert anything; he merely asked a question.

Prime Minister Rasputin did not say a word and instead turned his eyes toward one of the Abyssal Clan Gods present. Soon, all eyes were on the man, as he was one of the few who had truly witnessed the might of that person.

The focus was on Zinir, a God who was part of the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army and had returned after their clash. He and his group were heavily questioned, but after Prime Minister Rasputin verified their honesty, he allowed them to rejoin the army.

Zinir sighed under everyoneʼs gaze. His emotions toward the Scarlet King were extremely conflicted. As a warrior, he respected strength, and the man was extremely honorable, but the Scarlet King still killed his friend, General Casidius.

”The Scarlet King is an extremely powerful dual cultivation master, capable of overwhelming a monster that could take on three True Titans and dozens of Late Divine Ascension Masters. I have seen his power with my own eyes. Itʼs not just his body that is more durable than even Peak Adamantium Armor, but he can also wield a domain over Laws to a degree I have never seen before.”

Zinir paused, glancing at the people in the room before continuing.

”Back then, the Scarlet King had just completed his Bone Calamity and had yet to take on the Earth Calamity. Now, I am sure he is even more powerful. If there is someone capable of facing the Humanoid of Dark Sky, it is him.”

”They have their own monster capable of fighting Dark Skyʼs Humanoids and a reason to hate us. If I were them, I would just push the full power of their army into our territory, kill all of us, and then use Atlas as the main battlefield against Dark Sky, saving their people from the fate that befell ours.”

Prime Minister Rasputinʼs words spread a heavy and dark atmosphere around the room. The old man was clearly someone who always saw the worst possible scenario, but his analysis had no flaw.

The next second, a flash of dread and nervousness assaulted the Dark Emperorʼs mind as he turned to his computer ring, and a voice echoed in his mind.

”A message from the border. The Godslayer Humankind Empire has just made contact with our forces in the south.”
