The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164: Let me become your spy Chapter 1164: Let me become your spy As the scarlet flames consumed the three Stellar Abyss Legends inside his stomach, Cain turned his gaze toward the leader of the Commerce Association.

The old man had sat calmly on the edge of the Glass Dome throughout the battle.

Although the rainbow-colored energy had vanished, it had managed to shield him from the collateral damage of the apocalyptic fight, leaving him without so much as a scratch.

A sharp light appeared in Cain’s eyes.

There was something strange about this old man.

Anyone else in his situation would be trembling with fear or dread, but all Cain saw was eerie calmness-nothing more.

For a moment, Cain wondered if the old man was an ancient, hidden powerhouse.

But not even Void Eclipse Legends could conceal themselves from the powers of his Eye of Gluttony, so he discarded that idea quickly.

No matter how he looked at it, Lord Zero was just a Level 21 Legend-seemingly nothing special.

But Cain didn’t lower his guard, trusting his instincts as his eyes glowed with power.

Lord Zero had maintained his calm the entire time, his heartbeat never spiking.

But even he couldn’t hide his surprise when he saw his own shadow morph, transforming into hundreds of thin tendrils that snaked around his body, entangling his heart and brain.

The old man’s eyes narrowed as he realized how little it would take for the tendrils to kill him.

But instead of fear, a smile appeared on his face.

“A smile?

Are you crazy, old man?” Cain asked, genuinely puzzled as Lord Zero smiled despite having his vital organs entangled by Shadow Master’s power.

Lord Zero stood up slowly, his expression as calm as ever.

“I’m smiling because the fact you haven’t killed me right away means I still have a chance to keep my life.” Cain’s eyes narrowed as he walked closer, his massive draconic eyes locked on the old man.

“You are an anomaly.

That’s why I wanted to speak with you-to satisfy my curiosity.

But your life is already lost.

I need to consume your soul to achieve my goals.” Cain saw no reason to lie, so he was straightforward from the start.

Yet, Lord Zero’s smile remained unfazed even after hearing the dragon’s words.

Instead, he took a deep breath and said, “It’s clear I can’t stop you, nor can I escape.

Given that, would you indulge this old man and tell me the goal for which you need to consume my soul?” Cain regarded him for a moment, intrigued before he finally shrugged.

“I seek the knowledge of the South Coast Alliance-its weaknesses and the locations of its most powerful figures.” Lord Zero’s expression didn’t change as he calmly replied, “If that’s all you want, I can easily give you that information.

There’s no need for me to lose my life.” Cain shook his head.

“I don’t trust you.

Even if you’re telling the truth, there might be information you’re unaware of that could be useful.

And if word of my presence gets out, it would bring all kinds of trouble.

Given all that, there’s no reason for me not to consume you.” Lord Zero remained focused and didn’t appear nervous.

Instead, a sharp, thoughtful light flickered in his eyes as he asked, “I wonder, do you know how someone like me-a mere Level 21 Legend-was able to forge the wealthiest organization in the entire South Coast and keep my authority in the face of so many powerhouses who could easily kill me and take everything?” A glimmer of curiosity sparked in Cain’s eyes as he immediately recognized the conversation as a game of strategy-like chess.

Lord Zero was trying to change his mind by making the right moves and countering his every argument.

Cain could have easily ended it, consuming the old man and taking all his memories.

But his curiosity got the better of him.

A small smile crept across his face.

“Let’s play, old man.

Tell me.” Lord Zero’s smile widened as he showed a level of focus that even surprised Cain.

He spoke with the wisdom of someone who had navigated the complexities of power for a long time.

“I’ve kept control over the Commerce Association because I give powerhouses not what they want-but what they don’t even know they need.” Cain was impressed, admiration flickering in his eyes, but it wasn’t enough to spare the man.

“My goal is to consume all the powerhouses of the South Coast.

All I need for that are your memories.

So, what could you offer me that I don’t already have at my disposal?” Lord Zero’s eyes narrowed as he thought carefully before responding.

“You’re right.

With my memories, you’ll know where they are now and their weaknesses.

But that’s only in the present.” The old man paused, his gaze sharp and calculating.

“As more powerhouses fall, the survivors will grow paranoid.

They’ll change their methods and band together.

By then, my memories will be of little use.

You’ll still be far from your goal.” Cain nodded thoughtfully.

“You’re correct.

Their behavior will change once enough of them fall.

But I’ll still find them.

They can’t change who they are on the inside, and patterns will emerge in their movements, even if they try to hide.

It will take time, and I may need to consume others to obtain clues of their whereabouts, but I will find them.” Lord Zero could have argued that it wouldn’t be easy or that Cain might fail, but instead, he chose a different approach.

“You’re right-you’ll find them eventually.

But is time something you can afford to waste?” Cain’s eyes widened slightly, a sharp gleam of interest flashing in them.

He gestured for the old man to continue.

Lord Zero clenched his fists slightly, knowing he had struck a chord, but remained focused.

“If efficiency is what you seek, then let me live.

Let me become your spy.

I can give you all the knowledge I possess, and more than that, I can monitor the South Coast, using my network to gather any information you need.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Schedule: 15/14 (+7) Previous week: 733 power stones Power stone ranking: +600: 7 plus chapters a week +800: 10 plus chapters a week +1000: 12 plus chapters a week Discord channel: https://discord.gg/R666sNEdrU Check the images in the comments.
