The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 914 Lovecraft City and the Ancient Key

It took several hours for Cain to regain consciousness. As he rose from the ground, a painful expression appeared on his face; even after all this resting, he was still suffering from a severe headache.

Luckily, the Darkmist Force flooding his soul had already fixed most of the damage, and it was just a matter of hours before the pain completely faded. Cain adopted a meditating stance and waited for the pain to fade completely before finally continuing his work.

ʼLetʼs see what we have,ʼ a smile appeared on Cainʼs face as he went through the memories of the Depravita of Wrath, eager to see what he could learn from the Depravita Race.

Cain started from the beginning, and just as he suspected, the Depravita of Wrath he faced in the underwater city was not a pure member of the Depravita Race but an Atrox.

The Depravita of Wrathʼs original name was Amon, a member of the Sacred Races and native of Aether. From a very young age, he was guided by a mysterious entity that always remained in the shadows.

Under the guidance of this mysterious entity, he became one of the strongest masters of the underworld, reaching the zenith of the True Titan Tier and becoming as powerful as the Atrox Immortus Emperor.

Just as Amon was ready to rise beyond Aether and march into the Astral Sea, the mysterious entity that guided him from his childhood became present.

The mysterious master was a young man, not even twenty years old, and resembled a hybrid of the Abyssal Clan and Hell Clan.

ʼHorus!ʼ Cainʼs killing intent exploded as he saw the Inferno Daemon in the memories of the Depravita of Wrath.

Amon was shocked that the mysterious master was a young man since that person had been teaching and guiding him for thousands of years. However, Horus dispelled all those doubts, displaying his seemingly endless knowledge and blasting Amon into the ground, proving his superior strength.

Horus told Amon he was part of a race whose power spread across the entire Astral Sea and offered the Atrox the chance to become one of them so he could join his brothers after marching past the Crystal Wall.

Although changing his race was a big decision, Amonʼs desire for power was immense. Besides, while Horus made it sound like an offer, the Atrox was smart enough to notice the menacing tone in the young manʼs voice.

Ultimately, Amon accepted Horusʼ offer and continued the ritual. The process was blurry, as the Atroxʼs mind and soul were in a state of utter change and mutation at the time, so Cain learned very little about it.

Horus did keep his word, transforming Amon into a member of the Depravita Race. However, the process literally shattered the manʼs mind, ego, and will before reforging them.

Amonʼs hopes, dreams, personality, and other essential characteristics and qualities were destroyed and used to create the Depravita of Wrath. Essentially, the Atrox perished during the process, and something else was born.

Things did not end there since the process was not without problems. The Depravita that emerged had wisdom, but he was also in a constant state of emotional turmoil. His mind and soul sought to fall into his Concept, allowing his wrath to explode at every second. It was like a drug to him, one that he could not live without, and that drove his every move.

As if that was not horrible enough, the Depravita of Wrath became a puppet under Horusʼ control. He lost his free will, and it did not matter what he wanted or the pain that proved not to follow his nature.

Horus assigned Amon the tasks of guarding the Lovecraft City and forging the Ancient Key, which he said he would do.

At this point, Cainʼs focus heightened even more, as these were important pieces of information he needed to understand if he wanted to perfect his plan to defeat Dark Sky and the Depravita Race.

According to what Amon learned, Lovecraft City was a unique dimension that could hide from the worldʼs Laws and will. The Depravita of Wrath never knew the principles and creation of this dimension, but one thing was clear: it was incredibly hard to make them.

Once the Lovecraft City was in place, the Depravitas would use a strong body to create an Ancient Key. The process was simple in essence, as it involved drawing the negative emotions and chaotic psychic energy of the world and funneling it into the person, generating pure Depravita Essence.

As the Ancient Key grew stronger, it nurtured Lovecraft City, making it more stable and larger. Theoretically, if enough energy was supplied, the Lovecraft City could become as large as the world.

However, that was just a side effect of the Ancient Key. Its true purpose was to act as a beacon, a signal for an incredibly powerful entity in the Astral Sea. That entity would use his power to connect with the place where the Ancient Key was located, allowing the passage of members of the Depravita Race.

Other than that, Amonʼs memories did not contain much more useful information. The man and the other three Depravita priests were left in Kronosʼ Lovecraft City. They continued their missions, strengthening the Ancient Key and the dimension while waiting for further instructions.

Although Cain would have liked to know more, that was enough. His eyes glowed with a monstrous red light as a clear path to victory appeared in his mind for the first time since the clash with Dark Sky started.

”Invade the Lovecraft City, and take the Ancient Key. Once I do that, even if the members of the Depravita Race are still alive, they would be severed from their home, and their only path left will be death.” All the emotions in Cainʼs eyes began to fade as a sense of utter brutality emerged from his soul.

His only goal was to erase the Depravita Race from Aether, leaving not even a trace of their existence.
