The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265: Scarlet ember Chapter 1265: Scarlet ember Cain frowned as he saw those disgusting maws full of razor-sharp teeth.

Though his body was immobilized, his energy was not locked.

He was ready to unleash a surge of lightning and fire from within, intending to blast all the White Humanoids that dared to approach him.

Even if they could not harm him, there was no way he would allow them to try to eat him.

However, before the scarlet dragon energy would explode, all ten thousand kneeled and bowed to him, their foreheads touching the ground.

Confusion arose in Cain’s mind as he observed their unexpected submission.

The eerie chant subsided, replaced by a profound silence.

A few short seconds later, he felt a channel open between himself and the ten thousand White Humanoids.

Energies intertwined, and an understanding blossomed within him to the point that he felt his mind connected to theirs.

“First, I learned to fight off the hunger of others with my own,” he reflected.

“Then I learned to control the hunger within myself, not allowing it to harm me.” A meaningful light appeared in the scarlet dragon’s eyes as he focused on the ten thousand kneeling beneath him, and he obtained his asnwer.

“Now, I need to express my hunger to others.

I must extend my gluttony outward, corrupting and empowering those under my influence.” He realized that this was the next phase of his trial.

The White Humanoids were not enemies to be defeated but vessels to channel his power.

By projecting his essence of gluttony, he could bind them to his will.

This was not something new to Cain as he had already delved into a similar project back on the South Coast.

The Eye of Gluttony pulsed with energy, and he felt his influence spreading like tendrils, seeping into their beings.

The White Humanoids began to glow faintly, their bodies resonating with his power.

‘This is the true mastery of gluttony,’ Cain thought.

‘Not just consuming for oneself but using that hunger to lead and transform others.’ As the scarlet dragon connected with all ten thousand White Humanoids, he felt how his undertaking and comparison of the Oniric Turh of Glyttony rose at a shocking speed.  A wide smile formed on Cain’s lips.

The path ahead was becoming clearer.

He not only was overcoming the challenges of the Sky Devouring Grotto at a shocking speed but had also taken a significant step toward mastering the Oniric Truth of Gluttony.

Unfortunately for Cain, he did not have much time to ponder the feeling of connection with the White Humanoids and improvements to the Onric Truhf since he saw dark waves coming from the far distance.

His eyes sharpened, and he saw thousands upon thousands of black mutated monsters, all expressing a sense of hunger and killing intent that overwhelmed their existence.

The very air seemed to vibrate with their malevolent energy, a palpable aura of destruction advancing toward him.

The Eye of Gluttony revealed to Cain that they were all Level 18, just like the White Humanoids, but they were nearly four times more.

It was bound to be a massacre.

If the scarlet dragon could move, he could kill all those forty thousand Mutated Beasts in less than ten seconds, but he was frozen in place, bound by the constraints of the trial.

He would have to rely on the White Humanoids.

The Mutated Beasts were approaching at a shocking speed, a relentless tide of darkness surging across the barren landscape.

There was no time to waste.

Cain took a deep breath, focusing intensely on the connection between himself and the White Humanoids.

The next second, streams of scarlet fire flowed from him into their bodies, like rivers of molten energy bridging the gap.

Thanks to his massive upgrades and Legendary Innate Abilities, Cain’s energy pool and soul force were massive, even for a Level 27 life form.

But even then, he was barely able to hand over a small piece of his power to all ten thousand.

Beads of sweat formed on his brow as he maintained the energy transfer.

After nearly two minutes of continuous influx, a small ember of scarlet fire appeared in the chest of each White Humanoid.

Their bodies trembled as their energy and strength rose to Level 19!

Cain’s face turned pale, and he was so exhausted that if it were not for the force caging his body, he would have fallen to the ground.

His breath came in ragged gasps, and his limbs felt heavy, but there was a smile on his face.

Of course, the scarlet dragon knew that even if all ten thousand White Humanoids rose to Level 19, they would still not be enough to defeat all forty thousand Level 18 Mutated Beasts.

But the scarlet ember in their chests was just starting to show its power.

Cain’s eyes grew sharp.

His body was exhausted and without strength, but that did not mean he could not help the White Humanoids further.

When he was in Aether, he had led armies with hundreds of millions of warriors that spread across entire continents, so a battlefield like this one was nothing to him.

“Go,” he commanded, his voice resonating with authority.

With that single command, all ten thousand White Humanoids dashed forward, their speed surpassing that of the Mutated Beasts.

Their movements were swift and synchronized, a silent army charging with unwavering determination.

Momentum was fundamental in each battlefield, and one could not allow the enemy to rise it without control.

As they advanced, the ground quaked beneath the collective force of their steps.

The Mutated Beasts roared, their grotesque forms twisting as they prepared to meet the oncoming force.

The distance between the two armies closed rapidly.

Cain watched intently, his gaze fixed on the unfolding battle.

Despite his drained state, his mind remained sharp.

He concentrated on maintaining the connection, ensuring that the embers within the White Humanoids continued to fuel their enhanced abilities and that he could command all of them in ingenious battle formations.
