The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 2533: The limits of a Fourth Realm Body

Cain burst out of the sky-blue flames born from the explosion of the Soul Beast in less than a second. His armor remained nearly pristine, not even a visible dent marking its surface—but beneath that flawless exterior, the impact had reached him. His internal organs trembled, and a thin line of blood slipped from the corner of his mouth.

The Sacred Treasure granted him overwhelming power. It had elevated his strength and endurance to the Fourth Realm—but it was still incomplete. The blows of the Eternal Soul King and the combined forces of the battlefield could still penetrate that defense.

Bit by bit, the damage was accumulating.

’If I were a true Fourth Realm lifeform,’ Cain thought, his gaze sharpening, ’I could wipe them all out without effort. But right now... only my body has reached that level.’

Around him, the strongest warriors of the Eighth Realm surged forward, their killing intent blazing like a storm.

’If I keep fighting all of them at once... things could get dangerous.’

The thought of retreat flickered across his mind. His eyes briefly shifted toward the distant horizon.

’I already have the Sacred Armor. With my speed, none of them could catch me.’

For a fraction of a second, hesitation appeared.

Then it vanished.

The Scarlet King’s eyes burned with cold determination as he turned back toward the approaching army.

’It will be dangerous... but it’s also the perfect chance to take everything I need before returning home.’

A monstrous hunger surged from his Perfect Ancestor Drop, as he felt in those Royal Blutlinie the food needed to evolve to the Late Alpha Omega Overgod Rank.

And without hesitation—

The Scarlet King dove.

Like a comet of destruction, Cain plunged straight toward the battlefield.

The first to intercept him was a colossal Soul Beast. Its massive jaws opened wide, and a beam of sky-blue energy erupted forth, racing toward him with annihilating force.

Cain did not dodge.

Instead, he raised his gauntlet.

The Royal Blutlinie watching from afar narrowed their eyes. They had already witnessed his ability to redirect attacks. It was powerful—but limited. If they overwhelmed him with simultaneous strikes, they could exploit that weakness.

But—

That was not what Cain did.

The dragon-shaped gauntlet opened its fanged maw.

A cannon formed within.

White flames gathered instantly, compressing into a dense sphere of plasma before firing forward in a blinding burst.

The two attacks collided.

For a split second, the sky seemed to freeze.

Then—

The white plasma completely overwhelmed the blue beam.

It pierced through it, continued forward, and tore through the massive Soul Beast, splitting its body cleanly in half. The attack did not stop there—it continued onward, striking another Soul Beast and two Royal Blutlinie in its path.

The beast was annihilated instantly, its remains spread across the sky.

The Royal Blutlinie managed to evade at the last moment—but not completely. One lost an arm, the other a leg.

For a brief instant, relief flickered in their eyes. It was crippling wounds, but they survived. Yet before they could even take a second breath—

Their bodies trembled.

Panic overtook their expressions as they felt their movements slowing... their thoughts freezing... their very existence grinding to a halt.

The light in their eyes faded.

And they fell.

The attack had not only carried overwhelming power—it had been infused with the Quietus Force. Even without total physical destruction, the force had invaded their bodies and souls, halting them from within.

A faint smile appeared on Cain’s lips.

But it vanished just as quickly.

His eyes snapped to the side.

Shakra emerged from the remains of the destroyed Soul Beast, his movement flawless, his timing perfect. His leg, reinforced by a Soul Beast, lashed out in a devastating kick aimed directly at Cain’s head.

Even with the Flow—

Cain could not fully evade it.

He raised both arms and blocked.

The impact thundered through his body, sending him sliding across the air for several kilometers.

”Keep pushing forward!” the Eternal Soul King roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. ”If you want to live—then he has to die!”

His words ignited the warriors.

Fear turned into determination. Hesitation into resolve.

They surged forward with renewed ferocity.

The weaker Blutlinie could not even approach. The power surrounding Cain would freeze ArchDeities before they got close. All they could do was watch from afar.

And what they witnessed—

Defied reason.

More than thirty Alpha Omega Overgods chased a single man across the battlefield, unleashing endless waves of destructive power. The sky collapsed again and again under the strain of their attacks.

Yet—

The Scarlet King remained unstoppable.

No matter what they unleashed...

He was always one step ahead.

Blows that could shatter planets struck his body—yet the Scarlet King endured them, retaliating instantly. Every counterattack carried lethal precision, breaking bodies, tearing apart defenses, and harvesting lives in the same motion.

Their speed transcended comprehension.

One moment they fought above one continent—then, in the next instant, they were carving massive canyons into another.

Even as the Royal Blutlinie burned with hatred toward him...

They could not suppress the awe rising in their hearts.

This was power.

True power.

The strength to stand alone against an entire realm—and not only survive, but dominate.

It was the kind of might they all dreamed of attaining.

The battle carried on for more than thirty minutes until finally.

”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!”

A massive explosion erupted in the distant sky.

It dwarfed every previous clash.

The shockwave spread across the realm, sending even distant warriors flying. The radiance was so intense it burned the eyes of anyone who dared to look directly at it.

And yet—

No one could look away.

Through the blinding light, they saw it.

The figure of the Scarlet King—

Falling.

His body plummeted from the sky like a broken star, crashing into the earth with catastrophic force.

The ground shattered.

Earthquakes rippled across the realm.

And for the first time since the battle began—

The Scarlet King had been brought down.
