The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 888 Invitation

Cainʼs eyes glinted with a hidden purpose as he turned to Ishmael. ”I have a proposition for your profession masters, one that might pique your interest.”

The Atrox Immortus Emperor turned toward the Scarlet King as he heard those words, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes. While masters were not the foundation of the Atrox Immortus Empireʼs power, their contributions were significant, and their absence would be felt.

”Could you please provide more details about this offer?” Ishmaelʼs words were measured, his caution palpable. He sensed goodwill in the offer but had to tread carefully to protect his people.

Cain only smiled, as it was normal for the Atrox Immortus Emperor to show some carefulness around him, but he could see it was way less than when they first met. ”I want to invite your best Wave Crafters, Alchemy Masters, Rune Masters, and Genetic Coders to a unique cultivation ground.

They will have access to the most advanced cultivation techniques and knowledge regarding their professions, and I guarantee their safety.”

At this point, Cain paused, and a severe expression appeared as he explained the cons of the invitation. ”The place where the profession masters will go is secret, and I cannot allow its location to be revealed, so anyone that accepts this invitation will have to remain there until the battle with Dark Sky is over.”

Ishmaelʼs eyes narrowed as he began to ponder. There was no doubt in his mind that the place the Scarlet King described would surely improve his people, but it would be a lie if he said that the decades or maybe even hundreds of years of seclusion did not bother him.

He turned toward the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin, trying to get some insight about this invitation, but the Inferno Daemon duo remained silent.

”They do not know of this training heaven, as currently, there are only humans in it,” Cain said to Ishmael before turning toward the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin. ”Of course, I am also extending this invitation to you, but I believe it will be more complicated to find the right people among the Inferno Daemons in Atlas.”

A complicated expression appeared in the Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin. Cain was tactful, as the number of the Inferno Daemon Race had diminished immensely, and the first ones to die during the initial clash with the Dark Fog were those who did not specialize in fighting.

There were still masters in the Inferno Daemon Race, but there were very few, and none had a mastery above the Saint Tier.

”I will look for talented people once we return to Atlas.” Prime Minister Razputin only said that before releasing a small sigh.

Cain nodded to the old man of the Nether Clan, then returned his focus to the Atroxs. ”I have already extended this offer to the Deus Behemoth Race and plan to do it with all the Sacred Races.”

A light full of battle spirit appeared in the eyes of the Atrox Immortus Emperor as he heard that the Deus Behemoth Empire would also send masters. All his hesitation vanished as he could not stand allowing his empire to lose, even if it were in terms of professions. ”We will immediately send the words and connect our most talented and hardworking masters.”

”Great, great. I can accept up to three hundred masters of each profession.” Cain smiled, as these profession masters would be of immense help, allowing the development of the Anti-Dark Fog Tower, a crucial defense mechanism against the Dark Sky, to improve exponentially.

There should be nothing else stopping Cain in Kronos. However, he wanted to do something before returning to the Sea of End and leading the armies into Infinite Horizon.

”I would like you to summon Duke William and his daughter Astrid here.” A small smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he made that request toward the Atrox Immortus Emperor.

Nothing could stop Cain from barging into the Atrox Dukeʼs castle, but given how things had developed, he wanted to speak with them in a place where they would be more secure and where his aura would not be so imposing.

Ishmael turned toward the Scarlet King, and a meaningful light appeared in his eyes. Duke William had shared the mission details that resulted in the capture of an upper-echelon member of Blood Path and how he worked with the Scarlet King, so the relationship between the two was not new to him.

Initially, the Atrox Immortus Emperor believed they were just pawns and nothing more, but he seemed wrong. After a moment, he nodded and sent a message through his communicator ring.

Although Evernight was massive, it was very easy for someone like William to reach the Imperial Castle, and in less than a minute, a man in oceanic armor crossed through the doors along with a gorgeous young woman in a white robe.

William and Astrid showed flawless decorum as they walked through the throne room until they were twenty meters away from Ishmael, and they knelt and lowered their heads.

”Duke William Tormentras humbly greets his Imperial Highness.”

”Astrid Tormentras humbly greets his Imperial Highness.”

Ishmael nodded to the duo before signaling for them to rise and turning his gaze to the Scarlet King, who took a step forward and drew the duoʼs attention.

Duke William and Astrid were shocked and awed when they saw a human standing in the throne room of the Atrox Immortus Empire. They did not understand what was happening, and their shock only increased as the human figure began to change, transforming into that of a member of the Hell Clan of the Inferno Daemon Race.

”Kain!” Astrid could not help but shout in awe as she saw the face of the young man of the Hell Clan with whom she spoke for hours and hours related to Tribulation Enhancement and whose intervention allowed her to gain access to cultivation.

It was not just his appearance but his aura, demeanor, and the red light in his eyes that were just as she remembered, making it clear it was not simply a disguise.

”This appearance is a disguise I used when I arrived in Kronos for the first time using one of the Intercontinental Teleportation Formations of The Organization.

The young man from whom I took it was an envoy from the Inferno Daemon Empire who perished in his journey to Evernight due to family problems.” Cain wanted to clear everything up with the young woman, making her realize it was him whom she had interacted with all this time. As for the disguise, it was easy for him to make those aesthetic changes with his current control over his flesh and blood.

Astrid was not the only one shocked by the Hell Clanʼs disguise; The Dark Emperor and Prime Minister Razputin were also a little disturbed. However, once they heard the part about family problems, they could figure out how the original Kain came to die, and they could only shake their heads at such senseless infighting among their people.

The young woman was at a loss for words and did not know what to say. She had always yearned to meet with the young man again, but she just found out he was a member of an enemy race with whom her people had fought for thousands of years.

However, someone was faster to react. Duke William stood before Astrid, his eyes sharp, and he stared at Cain coldly. There was nothing more important for the man than to protect his daughter.

Cain showed a complicated smile as he saw William and Astridʼs reaction. He was not surprised; after all, he had lied to them from the moment they met. ”I understand your apprehension and suspicion, but there is no need to worry, as right now, there is no animosity between our races, and we will soon fight against a common enemy.”

William and Astrid were surprised by those words, and they turned toward Ishmael, who softly nodded. While as a Duke, William was aware of the mobilization of the army, he had no idea they would be fighting a common enemy by the side of the Goldslayer Humankind.

Ishmael and the Atrox Immortus Empireʼs upper echelon thought it best to reveal the news in person to the battalion leaders so they could solve all their doubts and not generate mayhem.

”I have no ill will against your people. Personally, race means very little to me. I only see those who stand with me and those who do not. I want you to understand all this since I want to take you to a place where Astridʼs Tribulation Enhancement skills can rise to the next tier.” Cainʼs smile widened as he focused on the young woman.

She was by far the most talented person he had seen in Tribulation Enhancement, at least in the theoretical aspect, and with the Codex of Infinite Pathways, who knows how high she could rise.
