The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1227

Chapter 1227: Hatred vs Order Chapter 1227: Hatred vs Order A solemn expression settled over Cain’s face as he stood, contemplating the black crystal in his hand.

Its cold, dark glow pulsed with immense power-a raw force that hummed with potential, enticing and dangerous.

The scarlet dragon’s eyes glowed with meaningful light as he weighed the best way to handle the black crystal.

His mind raced through the possibilities, considering the many paths he could take.

The safest option would be to send it to his stomach, where the Scarlet Reaper would consume every iota of energy, providing a staggering amount of Depravita Essence.

But the real prize-the Oniric Truth-would be lost in the process.

Cain’s Scarlet Reaper could consume flesh, energy, and even soul force like that which forges a Legendary Innate Ability, but assimilating the power of an Oniric Truth was beyond its current capability.

Simply gazing at the intricate runes etched on the crystal wouldn’t work either.

Cain’s soul force hadn’t yet reached the Void Eclipse Tier, and without that level of power and perception, he couldn’t hope to unlock the deeper secrets contained within the black crystal, let alone learn from them.

Cain stood still for several moments, deep in thought.

Finally, determination and resolve flashed in his eyes.

He wouldn’t let this opportunity pass.

With a deep breath, Cain swallowed the black crystal.

But instead of sending it into his stomach, he directed it to his Dragon Sinful Heart-the heart that had been forged using Dragon Empress Tiamat’s soul force and the Oniric Truths of Gluttony and Wrath.

The moment the black crystal touched his heart, a cataclysmic force exploded within him.

Waves of energy-corruptive and dark-surged through his veins like molten lava, scorching their way to his mind.

His massive scarlet body trembled under the onslaught.

The power of the black crystal was attempting to influence him, and a wave of overwhelming hatred flooded his soul.

Cain gritted his teeth as a malicious voice whispered in his mind, seeking to cloud his thoughts.

The hatred it carried was so intense that it almost pushed him into a blind frenzy, tempting him to turn on the Ancient Dragons still locked in battle with the Replicas.

The pressure was immense.

Cain could feel his mind assaulted by primal emotions-rage, bitterness, resentment.

The voices grew louder, urging him to succumb.

His eyes shook as the influence pressed deeper, targeting the emotional flaws within his soul and preying on his vulnerabilities.

“Destroy them…

everything is your enemy…

hatred will consume you…

power will burst…

the path to Void Eclipse.” The words raged in his mind, promising power in exchange for his submission.

But amidst the chaos, a smile tugged at Cain’s lips.

He had not ventured into such dangerous territory unprepared.

He wouldn’t have chosen this risky path if he hadn’t known for certain that he could overcome it.

“Silence!” With a single, authoritative word, the Power of Order surged from the depths of his soul.

It flowed through his entire being, washing away the dark whispers and manipulative suggestions trying to take root in his mind.

The Power of Order had absolute control over his thoughts, soul, and will.

It was an impenetrable fortress that no force could breach, no matter how vile or corrupt.

The voices dissolved into nothingness, becoming mere echoes.

They had no power over him.

Cain’s will was an ironclad wall, impervious to the corruption.

But it wasn’t just mental manipulation he had to contend with.

The black crystal’s essence was designed to corrupt and transform.

Yet, once again, Cain faced no problem.

The corruptive force that sought to infiltrate his black hole and soul was flawlessly assimilated by his True Name.

Every ounce of power was absorbed and made part of his being, strengthening him further.

Once he had fully mastered the mind-twisting forces and corrupting nature of the black crystal, Cain felt its raw power finally submit to him.

He closed his eyes and used the Dragon Sinful Heart to peer into the true nature of the Oniric Truth within him, allowing him to improve his understanding at an instinctive level.

It was a primordial force-ancient and raw-derived from one of the most destructive emotions that resided deep within every sentient being.

It wasn’t simply anger or rage; it was an eternal wellspring of loathing that festered inside, growing stronger and influencing every action.

It was an all-consuming force that corrupted everything it touched, a malice that never relented, never faded.

“Hatred.” The word echoed through Cain’s mind as he identified the true nature of the Oniric Truth.

Though dangerous, the thrill of discovery and desire for power crossed Cain’s eyes.

The Oniric Truth of Hatred would prove invaluable to his Tiamat Dragon Path.

It would provide deeper insights into the Oniric Truth of Wrath, nurturing his Dragon Sinful Heart and accelerating his growth in ways he hadn’t even anticipated.

Just as Cain was deep in his revelation, a voice called out, pulling him back to the present.

“We are ready!” Eldrick’s voice rang out, his tone victorious as the last Replicas were destroyed.

Cain opened his eyes and turned toward his companions, his face emotionless.

The Power of Order was still in full control, suppressing all unnecessary feelings.

“Let’s go,” the scarlet dragon commanded, not saying anything further before guiding them forward through the maze of mirrors.

Though they encountered more Reflections, there were no signs of another Mirage Serpent.

The path remained dangerous, but the dragons were making steady progress.

However, something unexpected began to happen.

At first, it was too subtle for anyone to notice, but as time passed, the Ancient Dragons realized their scarlet leader was growing.

At first, it was barely a few centimeters every second, almost imperceptible, but it continued without pause.

For nearly forty hours, Cain’s size increased steadily.

By the time it finally ended, Cain stood at an astonishing fifty-six thousand meters tall.

And that wasn’t all.

The scarlet dragon’s eyes now blazed with dark red flames.

Those flames held a presence that drew awe and wonder from the other Ancient Dragons, especially Zalgrim and the others who had forged their Dragon Sinful Hearts using the Oniric Truth of Wrath.
