The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1347

Chapter 1347: Perfect understanding of the state of Aether Chapter 1347: Perfect understanding of the state of Aether The Scarlet King was oblivious to what was happening outside of the Babel Tower; right now, all his focus was on his family.

Within the serene confines of the tower’s highest chamber, Cain sat surrounded by those he held dearest.  Cain regaled his sons, Rylanor and Magnus, with tales of his travels across the Crimson World.

Of course, for the sake of storytelling, he made things exciting and saved some gory moments.

Each word painted vivid images in the minds of his eager listeners.

The boys’ eyes glowed with awe and wonder as their father recounted the majestic phenomena he had witnessed.

“I became a massive gargantuan dragon,” Cain began, his gaze distant as if recalling the feeling of the wind beneath his wings.

“My scales shimmered like obsidian mirrors reflecting the cosmos, and with each beat, I soared higher than the tallest mountains.

The sky was my domain, and the clouds parted before me.” Rylanor leaned forward, his white hair falling over his forehead.

“Father, did you truly face the angelic forces?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief and excitement.

Cain nodded solemnly.

“Indeed, I did.

The Sun Church sent their mightiest warriors to stop me-the Archangels.

They descended from the heavens, wings ablaze with divine light, wielding swords forged from the very essence of the sun.” Magnus’s emerald eyes widened.

“Were you scared?” A soft smile touched Cain’s lips.

“Courage isn’t the absence of fear, my son, but the mastery of it.

We clashed amidst the clouds, each strike echoing like thunder.

In the end, I prevailed.” The boys exchanged glances, their admiration for their father growing with every word.

For them, the notion of their father transforming into a dragon and battling celestial beings was thrilling and inspiring.

Cain also told them about his meeting with Meylin, who had used the name Beelze during her time in Aether.

For Rylanor and Magnus, the idea of their father having multiple wives was nothing odd; after all, they were brothers from different mothers.  Shura and Astrid listened attentively, their expressions a mix of curiosity and warmth.

Cain had already shared with both women his intentions to search for Beelze in the Dream World, so his reunion with Meylin was not surprising.

The next few days carried on like this, filled with laughter, stories, and cherished moments.

Cain spent time with his sons, learning more about them and answering all their questions.

They walked through the gardens of the Babel Tower, the blossoms blooming in vibrant hues, their fragrances filling the air.

Cain taught them about the stars, the importance of balance in power, and the virtues of wisdom over might.

At night, he dedicated his time to Shura and Astrid, who had not seen him in years.

They reminisced about the past, shared dreams for the future, and simply enjoyed each other’s company.

It was a peaceful interlude that made Cain feel his entire body and soul reach a sense of balance and harmony.

He greatly appreciated these moments, not only due to the respite they provided but also because they allowed him to recharge.  However, all good things must come to an end.

Finally, after four days, Cain shared one final meal with his wives and sons.

The dining hall was adorned with candles whose flames danced gently, casting a warm glow over the faces of his loved ones.

The table was laden with delicacies from across Aether, each dish prepared with care.

As they laughed and shared stories, a subtle shift occurred.

Cain’s demeanor became more serious, a sharp and solemn light coursing through his eyes.

He rose from his seat, and the room grew quiet, all eyes turning toward him.

“It is time for me to handle plans I set in motion,” Cain announced, his voice steady yet tinged with a hint of regret.

“I will reunite with you all as soon as I have the time.” Shura and Astrid immediately nodded as they heard those words.

The two women were very conscious of the kind of man they had married and understood how precious his time was.

Instead of lamenting the shortness of the reunion, they chose to cherish the moments they had together.

“Take care,” Shura said gently, her eyes reflecting love and understanding.

“We’ll be here when you return,” Astrid added, offering a reassuring smile.

Rylanor and Magnus were not as mature as their mothers, but they knew that their father was very busy.

They silently nodded, though a hint of disappointment flickered in their eyes.

Cain couldn’t help but smile.

He reached out and patted the heads of his sons.  “I will see you soon,” After uttering those five words, Cain vanished.

In the next second, he appeared in the highest reaches of the sky, his figure cloaked by his power, making him invisible to all.  Before summoning the Stars of Doomsday and the Six Chief Counselors, there was someone else he needed to talk to.

“You have been very quiet,” Cain said aloud, his voice carrying through the emptiness.

It seemed as if he was speaking to the clouds, but he knew his words would reach their intended recipient.

A voice echoed inside his mind, familiar and somewhat sarcastic.

“You were spending time with your family.

I did not want to bother you.” The voice belonged to his oldest companion-the Absolute Life Form System Spirit, Apex.

“So, are you asking me something, or did you just want to chat?” Cain couldn’t help but smile as he heard the overbearing tone of the System Spirit.

It was clear that Apex had not changed.

Although Cain and Apex’s relationship had soured during the last few months of his time in Aether, time apart had helped the young man overcome some of the grievances.

While Cain still could not fully trust the System Spirit, he at least knew that Apex always helped him grow stronger.

“I am oblivious to what happened in Aether during my time as one with the World Will,” Cain began.

“Not only was I unconscious, but my willpower was in the Crimson World.

However, since my soul remained in this world, did the system continue to keep tabs on the situation across the continents?” “I knew it, brat.

You always call me when you need something,” Apex sneered, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice.

Cain was already used to Apex’s demeanor.

He waited patiently as the System Spirit continued.

“Luckily for you, the Absolute Life Form System was still active,” Apex said.

“I did indeed keep an eye on the world by tapping into the A.I.

chips and computing rings of everyone in the world.

I can send the information directly to your mind if you want.

Your willpower is more than enough to allow your soul to handle the stress.” Cain smiled and nodded.

“That would be appreciated.

I’d rather receive the information directly.” “As you wish,” Apex replied.

“Brace yourself.” As soon as Cain gave the okay, waves of images and data began to flood his mind.

A feeling of nausea immediately assaulted him due to the massive amount of information and the pictures moving at an astonishing speed.

Thanks to his willpower, Cain endured the onslaught.

He compartmentalized the data, allowing his mind to process the influx efficiently.

Time seemed to blur as he stood suspended in the sky, absorbing the world’s collective knowledge.

After nearly five hours, Cain’s eyes regained their focus.

He took a deep breath, the cool air filling his lungs.  He now had a perfect understanding of the state of Aether.
