The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1345

Chapter 1345: The Return of the King (V) Chapter 1345: The Return of the King (V) Cain’s laughter echoed across the sky for several long moments, a sound that was both joyous and profound.

His eyes, which had been filled with delight, suddenly sharpened as he gazed intently at the two children below.

With a subtle wave of his hand, he summoned his immense soul force and willpower, effortlessly taking control of the Law of Space.

Unlike in the Crimson World, where manipulating space felt like moving a mountain, in Aether, it was like pushing a boulder-an effortless task given the might of his soul.

Rylanor and Magnus had yet to regain their focus when a swirling vortex formed around them.

In the blink of an eye, their surroundings changed, and they found themselves standing directly before Cain, suspended in the sky.

“Magnus!” Shura cried out, her voice laced with alarm.

“Rylanor!” Astrid echoed, reaching out instinctively.

The two mothers felt their hearts skip a beat as they watched their children vanish.

The Babel Tower was designed to isolate space at all times, its protective enchantments impenetrable to all but the most potent forces.

But there was no way the structure could defy the power of its creator.  Rylanor and Magnus were now face to face with Cain.

The very air around him was charged with energy; space and time seemed to burn due to the overwhelming power of his bloodline and aura.

Yet, despite the immense forces at play, the children felt no harm-only a profound sense of awe.

“So you two are my sons,” Cain said, his voice deep and resonant, carrying a warmth that belied his formidable presence.

Those words struck the children like lightning.

Their eyes widened, and a mix of emotions flooded their young faces-astonishment, joy, reverence.

Instinctively, they knelt before him, lowering their heads in respect.

“Rylanor Laurifer greets honorable father,” Rylanor declared, his voice steady despite the excitement coursing through him.

“Magnus Laurifer greets honorable father,” Magnus echoed, his tone equally respectful.

Cain’s lips curled into a broad smile, and he couldn’t suppress the hearty laughter that bubbled up.

“Hahahaha!” The sound reverberated through the sky, carrying with it a sense of genuine delight.

He regarded his sons fondly, his eyes glowing with a meaningful light as he extended his senses to analyze their bodies and souls.

Immediately, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes.

In Rylanor, he sensed the potent power of the Primordial Race coursing through his veins.

The boy’s soul radiated with raw potential, a testament to his extraordinary heritage.

As for Magnus, Cain detected an extraordinary equilibrium within him.

His entire existence seemed to reach a state of balance with the world-a state that could only be achieved through an exceptionally high attainment of The Flow.

The Laws vibrated around his being, resonating with his very essence.

It was evident that both children were exceptional geniuses.

Even without deliberate cultivation, their innate talents would allow them to ascend to great heights within the Divine Realm.

“So, Rylanor and Magnus,” Cain said thoughtfully, “your mothers chose very good names for you two.” He nodded approvingly and gestured for them to rise.

The boys stood, and Cain gently placed a hand on each of their heads.

“I am proud of you already,” he said softly.

Meanwhile, Shura and Astrid watched from below, their initial panic giving way to relief.

They could sense that their children were safe and that the man before them was indeed Cain.

Cain allowed his gaze to drift beyond his sons, finally taking in the broader world around him.

The atmosphere was thick with tension and uncertainty.

It was clear that his sudden return had caused a massive commotion.

His eyes fell upon the Collapsing Lightning Emperor, Gabriel, and the rest of the Thirteen Stars of Doomsday.

They stood poised and vigilant, their expressions a mix of awe, confusion, and apprehension.

After a few moments, a flash of enlightenment crossed Cain’s eyes as he understood what had happened.

“I guess my True Name was bound to bring a shock to people,” he mused quietly.

“After all, it belongs to a Void Eclipse life form, and devouring all that Depravita Essence must have left some residual radiation.” He recalled how anything associated with the Depravita Race was considered taboo in Aether.

They were a race that had infiltrated several organizations, even corrupting a Crown Prince of the Godslayer Human Race.

The only thing the Stars of Doomsday understood was that a strange force carrying Depravita’s power had fused with the Alter-Ego of the Scarlet King, so it was no wonder they were worried.

Determined to assuage their fears, Cain smiled reassuringly.

His eyes began to glow with a flaming red light, and in the next second, his Ego Wave manifested.

It burst through the sky like an oceanic wave capable of flooding an entire continent.

The immense surge of willpower flowed downward, immediately reaching the Stars of Doomsday and enveloping the entire Babel Tower.

As they were flooded by the physical manifestation of the Scarlet King’s willpower, waves of emotions coursed through the bodies of all present, including the Stars of Doomsday.

They felt friendship, kindness, brutality, determination, nostalgia, and many other profound sensations.

The Ego Wave resonated with their very souls, dispelling doubt and reaffirming their connection to their leader.

The eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Emperor and the rest of the Stars of Doomsday glowed with red light as if responding to that willpower.

Immediately, thrilling smiles appeared on all their faces as they became certain that the man in the sky was none other than the Scarlet King.

The King had finally returned!

“The Thirteen Stars of Doomsday greet the Scarlet King, Leader of the Scarlet Alliance, the Absolute Ruler of Aether!” Gabriel, Zero Mint, and the rest of the Stars of Doomsday shouted in unison, bowing their heads before gazing up at Cain with pure awe and worship.

They had all trained very hard over the last couple of years, utilizing the growing resources of Aether and the [Samsara Arsenal Module] to enhance their abilities.

Yet, the Scarlet King, who was supposed to be in a trance and unable to cultivate, had returned with a strength that only increased the massive gap between their powers.

Cain smiled as he restrained his aura.

The black sun that had manifested due to his bloodline faded, and in the next second, he seemed no different from a mortal to the Thirteen Stars of Doomsday-only emphasizing how strong he had become through sheer control.
