The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 872 Cleaning Kronos (I)

Cainʼs eyes were empty as he grabbed Silence and lifted the man from the ground. The power of his Collapsing Space-Time Eye had knocked everybody down but the God. However, the leader of the Silent World would rather be unconscious right now, as the brutality in the manʼs eyes terrified him.

”I have never understood your kind. Why waste your time stealing treasures and playing around in Aether when there is an entire universe beyond the Crystal Wall? What could you obtain from these people you terrorize besides some resources that could barely make a difference in your cultivations?”

As Cain uttered those words, the brutality and loathing in his empty eyes only grew more powerful, and he began to clench Silenceʼs throat with so much strength that the bones of the manʼs spine began to crack.

”You and your kind are so small, yet you dare to look down on others, terrorizing normal people who live their daily lives and betraying those who have served you faithfully for hundreds of years!”

A bursting red light appeared in Cainʼs eyes as he continued exerting pressure on Silenceʼs neck, and the sounds of bones cracking echoed with more and more strength, making the old Godʼs terror only increase as he suffocated.

Suddenly, shock appeared on Cainʼs face as he let go of the God. For a moment, a myriad of emotions assaulted his heart, something that would be normal in anyone else but not in him, a Master of Order.

”Apex!?”

The first thought that appeared in Cainʼs mind was a problem with his mind and soul, so he asked the one whose domain on that aspect was the greatest he had seen in all Aether.

”There is nothing wrong with your soul sea, consciousness, or willpower, and there is no power acting on them in any way. Everything that is happening originates within yourself.”

Apex knew what Cain was after and gave him a clear answer, but this only increased the young manʼs confusion.

ʼWhy the sudden change?ʼ

Cain could not help but frown, and an annoyed expression appeared on his face. He was in a war against a ruthless enemy that wanted to kill every man, woman, and child in Aether, and he did not have the luxury of feeling right now. This was the worst possible time for the Power of Order to start failing.

However, even if Cain wanted to fix it, he would not even know where to start. After all, the Power of Order was still strange to him, and he only managed to attain it in a state of utter distress that nearly broke his mind and soul.

ʼAhhh, whatever. I will pay closer attention from now on.ʼ

Cain shook his head, and his eyes regained focus as he grabbed Silence once more and sent his willpower into the mind of the decrepit old God. Silence was already terrified, so it was not hard for Cain to put the man in compulsion.

”Tell me everything you know about the underworld. Start with all your knowledge about Godʼs Doom and Blood Path.”

Inside Evernight, in the Imperial Castle of the Atrox Immortus Empire, stood the Ten Swords, and they were not alone. Accompanying them were several high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court.

The Atrox Immortus Emperor, Ishmael, and the Prime Minister led the group through a holographic projection of Atlas.

Ishmael and the Prime Minister analyzed the distribution of the empireʼs forces, determining how many would march to Atlas. The ones that remained behind also had to be redistributed to ensure the safety of the empire and its people.

The Atrox Immortus Empire had decided to march into Atlas, fight side by side with the Inferno Daemon Empire, and participate in the Ouroboros System, but there were many things they needed to handle before that.

The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were also in the room, but the group was silent. Although they were invited to participate, it was not so they could share their thoughts but so Ishmael could keep an eye on them.

The members of the Abyssal and Nether Clans were fine with it and did not mind resting for some time since they had spent every single day back in Atlas fighting and planning. However, all of a sudden, their eyes widened.

A message had just arrived through their computer rings, and as they saw it, the duo did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Prime Minister Razputin understood he needed to share this message with Ishmael, but the man would not take it well.

”Maybe you should...”

Just as the old man from the Nether Clan was about to suggest that the Dark Emperor take the lead, the man closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. Prime Minister Razputinʼs eyes twitched as he saw that behavior and was ready to curse at the Dark Emperor.

Still, in the end, he simply shook his head and rose from his seat, approaching Ishmael and the rest of the upper echelon of the Atrox Immortus Empire.

”Your Highness Ishmael, I have a message from the Scarlet King.”

As soon as Ishmael and the rest of the Atroxs heard those words, they stopped what they were doing, and all turned to Prime Minister Razputin.

The Scarlet King was a hegemon of incredible power. While he seemed like a kind individual who did not enjoy hurting others, the tales of the Scarlet Inquisition had reached the Atrox Immortus Empire. They had heard about the disappearance of hundreds of millions of criminals, so any word he said had to be taken with the utmost care.

Even for someone like Prime Minister Razputin, it was not easy to keep focus under the gaze of so many powerhouses, but he took a deep breath as he shared the message that had just arrived on his computer ring.

”The Scarlet King has just captured Silence and destroyed Silent Worldʼs upper echelon and all the Tier 1 Dark Faction Leaders associated with it.”
