The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1342

Chapter 1342: The Return of the King (II) Chapter 1342: The Return of the King (II) One woman had flowing white hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of moonlight.

Her eyes were a deep sapphire blue that sparkled with wisdom, and her pointed ears gave her an ethereal appearance, resembling a fairy elf.

The other had fiery red hair that framed her face in soft waves, her emerald eyes reflecting warmth and strength.

Her entire being seemed to glow with the power of blood.

They were Astrid and Shura, the wives of the Scarlet King and the mothers of Rylanor and Magnus, respectively.

“Mother!” the boys exclaimed in unison, their earlier quarrel forgotten as they lowered their heads in respect.

The two women stood before them in the grand hall of the Babel Tower, their expressions a blend of affection and mild reproach.

Astrid smiled warmly at Rylanor, her eyes filled with maternal love.

Yet, she took a deep breath as a stern expression appeared on her face.

“I hear you’ve been exploring again, forgetting about your classes,” she said, her voice gentle but firm.

Rylanor looked up sheepishly, his golden eyes reflecting a hint of guilt.

“I just went out for a little while, Mother.

I wanted to see how much stronger I’ve become,” he explained.

Shura placed a hand on Magnus’s shoulder, her gaze gently reproachful.

“Little Magnus, you are so wise, yet you keep getting into trouble,” she remarked, raising an eyebrow.

Magnus grew nervous, scratching the back of his head.

“I was trying to broaden my horizons, Mother-learning more about the outside world,” he replied earnestly.

The two women exchanged amused glances, shaking their heads with a soft smile.

Their two children were their most precious treasures, the gifts that the man they loved most in the world had left for them.

The boys were hardworking and filled the women with pride, but they were also mischievous, constantly wanting to explore the world around them and assert their independence.

Yet, they were still too young for such endeavors.

After a moment, Shura and Astrid turned their attention to Gabriel and William, who stood nearby.

“Thank you for bringing them back safely,” Shura said, inclining her head respectfully.

Even though she was a queen and her status was second to none, the young woman had never been one to look down on others, especially someone so respected by her husband as the Collapsing Lightning Emperor.

“It was nothing,” Gabriel replied, his tone modest.

“They are quite spirited, but they mean well.” William nodded in agreement, his eyes reflecting a paternal warmth.

“It’s normal that they act this way at their age.

We just need to guide them in the right direction.” Astrid showed a soft smile as she nodded.

“You are right, Father.

Thanks for picking him up,” she said gratefully.

With that, the two women turned back their attention to the children.

“Magnus, you must attend your history and strategy courses,” Shura admonished gently.

“Even if you already understand much, it is important to establish a solid foundation for your future growth.

Relying only on your talent and instincts is not the right course.” Shura’s eyes were sharp as she reprimanded the red-haired boy.

Her gaze held both love and expectation, emphasizing the importance of her words.

“The same goes for you, Rylanor,” Astrid added, her tone firm yet caring.

“You should pay attention in your classes.

Relying only on brute power is unwise and not what your father wanted for you.” Astrid could see that the boy was regretful but felt it was important to impart discipline from a young age.  “We understand,” the two boys nodded in unison, their voices subdued.

They knew their mothers and elders had their best interests at heart, even if they didn’t always agree with them.

Seeing the two children lowering their heads, Shura and Astrid couldn’t help but release a soft sigh.

They looked at each other and nodded, a silent agreement passing between them.

“Since it is already late, you can rest and continue with your studies tomorrow,” Shura conceded, her lips curving into a gentle smile.

Rylanor and Magnus brightened visibly at this, their earlier disappointment replaced with excitement.

“Thank you!” they chimed, eyes sparkling with mischief once more.

Just as they were about to dash off to indulge in some fun, it happened.

“RUMBLE!!!” The entire room began to tremble violently, causing Shura, Astrid, Gabriel, and William to adopt solemn expressions.

The ceiling above them transformed into transparent glass, allowing them to gaze into the sky from the safety of the room.  They were inside the Babel Tower-a structure that floated above the clouds and could endure the strikes of Divine Transformation life forms without issue.

For it to tremble so dramatically, something extremely shocking must be happening.

They did not have to wonder for long about the reason as the sky above them began to glow with a dark light.

Swirling clouds gathered ominously, and the air grew thick with an unsettling energy.

Shura and Astrid immediately pulled Magnus and Rylanor behind them, making sure to keep the boys safe as they gazed upward, their eyes filled with concern.

“Stay close to us,” Astrid instructed, her voice steady despite the chaos unfolding.

Gabriel and William’s energies exploded outward as they positioned themselves protectively before the two women and children.

Their auras flared, creating a barrier of power that enveloped the group.

“Be on guard,” Gabriel warned, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the turbulent skies.

All around the Babel Tower, people gazed upward in fear and confusion.

Dark and ferocious lightning arcs coursed through the heavens, illuminating the clouds with flashes of eerie light.

The atmosphere was charged with a dark force that none had felt before.

Soon, the reason for the nefarious aura manifested as three massive, strange words appeared in the sky.

The symbols were alien, their shapes twisting and turning in ways that defied logic.

They were small in comparison to the vastness of the sky, yet they dominated the horizon, drawing all eyes toward them.

No one could read them, but everyone felt the immense power they emanated-the power to destroy everything, to consume all life, and to rule over all existence.

A palpable dread settled over the land.

“What is that?” Rylanor whispered, clutching his mother’s hand tightly.

“I don’t know,” Astrid replied, her eyes never leaving the ominous script.

The Collapsing Lightning Emperor focused intently on the words.

Even though he could not understand their nature, the soul force they unleashed was simply staggering.

Just focusing on them made his eyes feel like they were burning, but what truly shocked the man was the familiar aura he felt emanating from them-an aura he would never forget.

“Depravita!”  CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld I made a mistake and confused the children’s names.

Now they are in the correct order.

Sorry about that.

To clarify: -Rylanor is Astrid’s child and a Human/Atrox Hybrid -Magnus is Shura’s child and a pure Godslayer Human.
