The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1327

Chapter 1327: Tenfold Manifestation Chapter 1327: Tenfold Manifestation Cain expected all sorts of answers, especially after witnessing how Lord Zero had devoured a man’s head with a single bite with what he could only describe with glee and satisfaction.

The gruesome act could suggest that the old man might be struggling with the effects of the Mark of Abbadon, possibly succumbing to madness or an insatiable hunger.

Cain braced himself for a troubled tone or a barrage of empty words filled with excuses or pleas for help.

However, what he received was something entirely different.

“It has been amazing, my Lord!” Lord Zero’s voice was full of youthful excitement, surprising Cain.

The old man’s enthusiasm was unexpected, given the brutal act he had just committed.

“Explain,” Cain commanded, an intriguing light appearing in the eyes of the dark dragon.

He wondered what exactly was happening with Lord Zero.

“I must admit, the hunger was truly horrifying at the beginning,” Lord Zero confessed.

“Sometimes I felt I would go insane, but after I began to consume other people, it all went away.” He paused for a moment, then hurriedly added, “Of course, I followed your advice, my Lord, and only went after criminals.

There was a huge increase in criminal organizations after the fall of the leaders of the South Coast Association, so it was not really hard to get thousands of them.

No one really cares about their demise, so they are the perfect target.” Cain’s eyes grew a little softer as he heard how Lord Zero was careful with his targets.

If the old man had gone after civilians or children, Cain would have ended his life immediately.

But if the targets were criminals, he did not really care.

After all, Cain himself had consumed millions of sentient life forms of all races in his quest for power back in Aether and the Crimson World.

“Carry on,” Cain instructed, nodding slightly.

Lord Zero nodded, happy to see that his path aligned with Cain’s goals, and continued.

“It was not only the hunger that vanished, my Lord, but my power also began to increase at a shocking rate.

I have become a Level 25 Dark Seed Legend, and I feel that if I keep going, I will eventually break through and become a Stellar Abyss Legend!” The excitement and thrill in Zero were palpable, and even Cain was surprised.

The man’s life force was in its twilight, making cultivation incredibly hard.

Yet, thanks to the Mark of Abbadon, he managed to rise several levels in a couple of years and even had the chance to become a Stellar Abyss Legend.

“Good,” Cain responded thoughtfully.

“Keep going like that.

If you become a Stellar Abyss Legend, unify the South Coast.

I will make sure the great powers on the mainland of the Helix Continent recognize your authority.” Lord Zero’s eyes widened as he heard those words.

He knew Cain was powerful, but the mainland was full of Void Eclipse powerhouses.

The idea of gaining recognition and possibly ruling the South Coast was beyond his wildest dreams.

Of course, the old man did not dare to refute or doubt Cain’s words and simply bowed in gratitude.

“Thank you for this opportunity, my Lord.

I will not disappoint you,” Lord Zero pledged earnestly.

Cain nodded as he heard the old man’s words before cutting the connection.

A meaningful light appeared in his eyes as he contemplated the effectiveness of the Mark of Abbadon.

Even in its most preliminary form, it worked fine, helping to shed away weaknesses and grow even stronger.

That was very important for Cain, as the Mark of Abbadon was crucial for his future plans and the unification of the Crimson World’s First Realm’s continents.

“I need to evolve it if I want it to work on Void Eclipse powerhouses and also benefit from their consumption,” Cain mused aloud.

A meaningful light appeared in his eyes as he pictured the evolution of his Mark of Abbadon.

Normally, fine-tuning such abilities would require decades of research and experimentation, but that was no longer something that hindered Cain, thanks to the Super Computer Assistant Legendary Innate Ability.

“Super Computer, adjust the Mark of Abbadon,” Cain commanded.

“The key is to establish a link to my black hole so my understanding of the Oniric Truth of Gluttony can improve as those with the mark use it to consume and grow.” Cain’s demand was significant, but it was not impossible given that the Mark of Abbadon already allowed him to share a telepathic link with the user and experience their senses.

The Super Computer Assistant could handle the complex calculations and simulations required to refine the ability.

[Beep!

Task assigned.

Reforging Mark of Abbadon.

Estimated time: 6 months.] A wide smile appeared on Cain’s face as he heard the robotic voice, and he was more than satisfied with the timeframe.

The Super Computer Assistant was surely efficient and reliable, and would defenitly be of great help in the future.

Once that part of the Mark of Abbadon was set in motion, Cain turned toward the Sun Ascension Pool.

The radiant white flames danced within, casting ethereal reflections on the surrounding walls.

He took a deep breath and uttered two words: “Tenfold Manifestation.” The next second, Cain’s figure trembled, and immediately, he split into ten dark dragons!

Tenfold Manifestation was a Legendary Innate Ability that allowed one to split into copies of oneself.

When he first obtained the ability, Cain was beyond thrilled.

However, his excitement soon dampened as he discovered the limitations.

While the ability sounded overpowered, the Crimson World’s rules were always balanced.

There were ten of you, but each had only a tenth of your power.

Moreover, only one held the True Name-the essence of his being-and if that one perished, all the others would vanish.

Using the Tenfold Manifestation would only make you die faster on a true battlefield, as the weakened clones would be more vulnerable to powerful opponents.

But Cain had the perfect use for the ability outside of combat.
