The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 596
Chapter 596: Twisting history Chapter 596: Twisting history “Your Imperial Highness must help me!
My treacherous brother and the Soul King, my archenemy, imprisoned me in their secret dungeon.
Please, free me from these chains so we can bring justice in the name of the Deus Behemoth Empire.” Cain’s eyes narrowed, reflecting a mix of respect and awe as he listened to the man’s plea.
Despite years of torture and the thrill of potential freedom, the man’s focus and cunning remained unbroken. Auron immediately blamed the Umbra Secret Dungeon on his brother and referred to the Soul King as his archenemy and nothing more.
‘So sly.’ Unfortunately for the man, he had already served his purpose in Cain’s plan, and keeping him alive would only make things more problematic.
Some might think that Auron would be full of gratitude toward Cain, as it was he who unveiled the relationship between the Umbra Clan and the Soul King.
Yet, from what Cain learned from Roman’s memories, Auron would be incapable of that. The xenophobia of the former Patriarch of the Umbra Clan ran so deep, that he would ignore Cain’s involvement in his rescue, and instead focus on the damage this one did to his clan. Before Eon, Zuko, and Kabuto could respond to Auron’s plea, Cain stepped forward and focused on the old man.
“You are really good with words, but please don’t play the role of the innocent victim, since it makes me want to puke.” It was only at this point that Auron focused on Cain.
He had noticed the young man, but upon realizing this one was not a member of the Dues Behemoth Race, he instinctively ignored him. Cain only smiled as he felt the loath and disgust in Auron’s eyes and continued speaking.
“Allow me to make some arrangements for your colorful worlds.
Your brother and your bastard son chained you in this dungeon where you once abused women and men from the Dark Races.” A flash of realization appeared in Eon and the Patriarchs’ eyes.
They were momentarily moved by Auron’s pitiful state, but Cain’s words reminded them that this dungeon was Auron’s creation.
This unique dimension full of torture equipment was his personal hell, where he did unspeakable things to men and women.
The pity in the trio’s eyes faded, replaced by coldness, remembering that Auron was not just a twisted individual who abused members of the Dark Races and fathered a child with one but had also secretly imprisoned people from across the empire, including those from their clans.
Auron’s eyes widened upon hearing Cain’s accusations, and a silent killing light appeared in them.
However, an even more intense feeling of distress assaulted him as he saw the coldness emerge in the eyes of Eon, Kabuto, and Zuko.
He was fast and turned toward Cain with an expression full of indignation.
“Human, how dare you accuse me of such heinous crimes, given my condition.
This place was built by my brother long before his coup, and I only discovered it when they imprisoned me here,” Auron shouted at Cain with righteous rage before turning to Eon, Kabuto, and Zuko.
“My friends, please, free me.
I will answer all your questions and help you uncover the truth once I am healed.
We are all Patriarchs of the Ten Great Bloodlines, and we should stand together as the pillars upon which the Deus Behemoth Empire has risen for thousands of years.” Complicated expressions appeared on the Emperor and the Patriarchs’ faces.
While they were determined not to let the harm to their people go unpunished, they also had to consider the empire’s safety.
The potential loss of the upper echelon of one of the Ten Great Bloodlines would significantly diminish the empire’s overall military power.
Auron had indeed endured centuries of torment, which, in their eyes, was a form of punishment.
As the trio considered their response, a small smile appeared on Auron’s face, along with a flash of coldness he managed to conceal well.
Cain observed the trio and understood their dilemma.
They were the empire’s leaders and had to prioritize the greater good and safety of trillions, not just their personal feelings.
However, he wasn’t going to let Auron’s desires dictate the outcome.
His gaze wandered around the black room, focusing on the rusty torture equipment, and he realized these were ancient artifacts of centuries of age.

They were older than the time Auron had stayed locked in this place, so they were used on others first.
“The torture equipment in this place is very old.
It’s poetic justice that the Soul King used the same equipment you utilized to torture his mother on you.” Eon, Zuko, and Kabuto turned to Cain.
Clearly, the young man wanted to share something, and they would hear him before making a decision. Surprise and confusion flickered in Auron’s eyes as he noticed the trio’s respect and reference toward Cain.
Auron couldn’t understand or accept their behavior, given his view of other races as inferior.
Cain walked until he stood right in front of Auron, noting the man’s resilience.
“I must admit, you’re formidable, and this experience only seems to have strengthened your willpower.
It wouldn’t be hard for you to regain control over the Umbra Clan and return to your previous peak or even surpass it.
However, I loathe your nature, and our coexistence within the Deus Behemoth Empire would become increasingly complicated, to the point where there could only be one of us.” Cain paused, allowing a cold smile to form on his face, signaling bad tidings for Auron.
“Fortunately for me, the Soul King had already destroyed your internal organs, and your wounds were too severe for healing.
We wanted to help you but you were beyond salvation and we did the only merciful thing and ended your suffering.” Shock filled Auron’s eyes as he heard Cain’s words.
The young man wanted to twist history and make everybody believe he had perished in this place due to the actions of the Soul King.
