The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 540
Chapter 540: A power above the limits of Aether Chapter 540: A power above the limits of Aether “BOOOOOMMM!” The second volley of explosive spears did the trick, as the Stone Dragon collapsed to the ground and the light in its eyes faded.
Immediately, all the warriors began to cheer as the spellcaster in the sky calmly descended to the ground with an expression of utter exhaustion.
Those three spells seemed to have drained all the energy in the woman, but it did not erase the fact she managed to unleash spells way above her energy pool. Cain watched it all and had to admit that the performance he witnessed from the magic caster and warriors was impressive.
‘The people’s abilities are limited and lack maneuverability, but it seems they can make up for it with equipment.
Not to mention that as they rise higher, their range of powers grows exponentially.’ After witnessing this battle, two things were clear to Cain.
The path to higher ranks in this place seemed very difficult to achieve, and their domain over cosmic forces was extremely limited. However, as they advanced, those restrictions seemed to weaken, and they could exponentially enhance their power through artifacts and runes, more than what the people of Aether could do.
‘Aether also has Rune Masters, but none can grant such an upgrade to an individual’s battle power.
Just activating one powerful rune would normally take the full power of a talented warrior, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in this place.’ Cain was not a Rune Master, but it seemed that the runes in this place differed from Aether’s.
Before, Cain had nearly lost all interest in this dimension as the strength of the people was so weak that he alone could have overruled them all if he reached this place with his body.
Of course, he would not have wasted his time since there was no gain in overpowering such a weak civilization, but this display of power changed things.
Wanting to prove something, Cain got near the magic caster and put his hands through her head, but she did not detect anything.
‘It seems that even those at her power level cannot detect me.’ Cain stared at the woman momentarily and focused on her staff and the runes on the warriors before rising into the sky again and heading back to the capital.
As he advanced, he saw more displays of great power on his path.
Although they were impressive, all the warriors he saw, even those who could fly, were limited in several ways.
So far, he had not seen anyone who could reach the power equivalent to a Divine Ascension Master, much less a Titan or God.
It had already been nearly two days of flying when Cain finally caught a glimpse of what seemed to be the capital of the Saint Trinity Realm.
It was a truly massive city with golden walls and a mystic aura that rivaled that of Eden or Evernight.
What drew most of Cain’s attention were the massive statues of three divine goddesses surrounding the city, all extremely beautiful, seemingly pure, and otherworldly. Just as Cain’s eyes were drawn to beautiful status, he turned to the left.
They immediately widened as he saw a dark storm in the distance and could feel a sense of danger and even terror.
Cain’s eyes narrowed, and a sharp light appeared in them as he decided to approach the storm.
After an hour, he finally saw it.
It was not a storm but a massive army with dozens of millions of warriors.
The bulk of the army was composed of warriors on metallic horses that scorched the ground beneath their hooves.
The aura of each of them was not weaker than those he saw fighting the Stone Dragon, but even more impressive was that they all had at least a rune on their bodies.
Among those warriors were hundreds of thousands of people in dark priestly clothes, all chanting strange words that resonated around the ground and sky, generating a dark aura.
If that was not all, there were also dozens of thousands of winged figures in the sky, all unleashing waves of immense energy, with some seemingly capable of making the ground shatter and the sky tremble.
Cain’s eyes widened as he saw the might of such an army.
Although he could not measure their power effectively, his instincts told him this was a force that could face any of the six main races of Aether head-on.
‘They are doomed.’ Although Cain had not had time to inspect the capital, by what he had seen of the Trinity Kingdom so far, their military might was around 10% to 15% of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, and there was no way they could face this power.
Of course, Cain did not plan to intervene since even if his real body were present, he would only be sending himself to his death if he confronted such a massive army.

He was already thinking of flying away as he did not know if these people would have the power to detect him.
Cain did not know what would happen if someone destroyed this humanoid body formed by his willpower and was not eager to find out.
However, just as he was about to move away, a figure appeared in the sky above the dark army.
The figure was a warrior with golden armor and the image of a sun engraved on his armor.
He had short black hair, his eyes glowed with golden flames, and a halo of white flames was on the back of his head.
Cain did not feel anything from this person, but he saw how the entire dark army froze as he appeared, and they looked at the sky with dread as if they were seeing a monster.
The priests began to shout, but Cain was too far away to hear what they were saying.
The man’s eyes gazed at the dark army with loathing and disdain as he raised his right hand and began to speak in a voice that spread across the earth and sky.
“Sun Lord, I summon your power in the name of the Trinity Kingdom.
May your flames scorch the enemies in front of me!” As soon as the man finished speaking, the dark storm that covered the army spread apart as a beam of golden majestic energy fell from the sky into his hand.
Cain’s eyes widened as he saw how an incredibly immense amount of energy gathered in the man’s hand while wings began to form on his back, and each one made the man’s power grow even higher.
Finally, five wings formed on his back as all the energy in the pillar gathered in the palm of his hand. “Filthy being, burn beneath the might of the Sun Lord!” He gazed at the army that could have faced one of the six races of Aether with disdain before unleashing all that energy into a beam against them.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!” Cain’s eyes were full of shock and disbelief as he saw that beam of solar energy falling from the man’s hand onto the dark army, sundering it in half and killing millions of warriors, including those in the sky, as if they were nothing.
The beam had so much power that it penetrated the earth for thousands of meters, scorching the ground and erasing the pollution the dark army unleashed.
The attack carried on for over five thousand kilometers, encompassing the entire length of the dark army’s formation!
‘What monstrous power!’ Cain was no longer the same young man shocked by the spell of an Atrox God and had faced True Titans of the level of Dark Kings.
Yet, he was overwhelmed by the power of the man’s attack.
It was an assault that could have carved an eternal scar in Gaia, capable of obliterating Eden, the Silver City.
The might displayed by the man surpassed the limits of Aether, and Cain did not even understand how someone could wield such power.
The wings on the man’s back faded the next second, and an expression of utter exhaustion appeared on his face as his youthful visage aged.
That attack had inflicted significant damage on the dark army but did not eradicate it, and there were still many warriors alive.
Yet, the man showed only disdain.
Even in his weakened state, the power warrior felt no fear toward the remainder of the army.
However, suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he focused on the distance, and a sharp light appeared in them.
Cain’s eyes widened as he realized the man was looking directly at him.
‘¡He can see me!’ As soon as that thought emerged in Cain’s mind, he sent the intent, and his body dispersed as he left the dimension.
Less than a millisecond after Cain vanished, the man appeared in the space where he used to be.
A frown appeared on his face as he saw that Cain was gone, but he did not show much concern as he turned back to the dark army.
