The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 597

Chapter 597: Deal (I) Chapter 597: Deal (I) The dread in Auron’s eyes only increased as he saw the reactions of Eon, Zuko, and Kabuto.

The Patriarchs of the Solis Clan and Zanginis Clan stared at Auron for a moment before a coldness and killing intent emerged in their hearts.

Since Auron would impede Cain’s proper assimilation into the Deus Behemoth Empire, he had to be eliminated.

The fact that they never got along with the man, and he was a criminal who imprisoned people from their clans, made the decision very straightforward.

It only took one glance toward Zuko and Kabuto for Auron to realize the path the duo had taken, clearly seeing they would choose the human over him.

“Your Imperial Highness, please, you must stand for reason and justice!” Immediately, Auron turned toward Eon, and there was a flash of madness and fear in his heart.

He had already resigned to his fate after hundreds of years of torture, but when he saw the trio, hope once again returned.

Yet, it seemed that it was misplaced, and he would not be getting out of this place.

Eon stared at Auron silently, a solemn expression appearing on his face as he glanced between the former Patriarch of the Umbra Clan and Cain.

“Ahh, so be it.

Auron Umbra will be remembered as a great man, who served the empire honorably.

He fell under the plot of his younger brother, Taron Umbra, and his archenemy, the Soul King.

He was jailed in his brother’s hidden prison and resisted for hundreds of years of torture, as they sought to get secrets from him, but he stood strong.

He perished this day, as I finished his agony and incinerated his corpse, granting him a proper burial, worthy of a hero of the Deus Behemoth Empire.” Eon turned toward Zuko, Kabuto, and Cain, and the intent in his eyes was decisive and also ominous.

He would side with the trio, but Auron Umbra would not go down as a devious man who fell to the hands of his bastard son, but as a hero and respected Deus Behemoth.

Of course, there were a lot of people who heard about Auron’s misdeeds during Cain’s revelation in Amazon, but Eon was sure he could ensure their silence, as an order from the emperor was not something they could defy.

Although Zuko and Kabuto were not so happy to see a devious and disgusting man like Auron being considered a hero of the empire for the ages, they were willing to compromise.

While the Umbra Clan would suffer greatly, it would not be exterminated, and it would be good for the young generations to have a figure to worship as they strive to regain their honor.  Cain couldn’t care less about public opinion.

For all that mattered, Auron could be considered a divine god if they wanted, as long as the man perished.

Auron’s mind fell into madness as he realized they were practically discussing his epitaph in front of him and could not contain himself and shouted.

“YOU BASTAR…!” Yet, before the old Patriarch from the Umbra Clan could finish his sentence, Cain struck his trachea with so much strength that it shattered, making the man twitch as he was no longer able to breathe.

Of course, he could survive without oxygen as his force provided all the energy his body needed.

The Soul King had not crippled Auron’s cultivation, as that would mean the man would have died within years.

Instead, he incarcerated the man, and the same spikes and chains that nailed his body to the ground also sealed his energy and Ego Wave.

Eon simply shook his head as he was in no mood to continue this charade, ready to shoot a blast of energy and kill Auron.

“Please wait, I have a use for him.” Cain stopped the emperor, and his eyes focused on Auron as they glowed with a red light and a sense of voracious gluttony appeared in them.

Auron had just stopped his body from twitching when he saw the sense of gluttony.

The red light in those eyes made him feel like prey, and a sense of utter terror flooded his mind.

Despite his ragged and wounded state, Auron Umbra was still a Peak Divine Ascension Master, so the amount of energy and vitality in his body was nothing short of overwhelming.

If Cain could consume it, it might be just what he needed to push his body and energy pools to the Peak Wave King and prepare himself for his first Calamity and Tribulation.

Eon, Kabuto, and Zuko only had to look at Cain to feel the ravenous desire for consumption emanating from the young man’s will and understand the reason why he wanted Auron.

“I cannot allow that.

No matter what, Auron was once a Patriarch of one of the Ten Great Bloodlines.

I cannot just let him become a source of food.” Unfortunately for Cain, things were not so easy.

He turned toward Eon and saw this one frowning, as he was not happy with his intent.

He even noticed that Lord Kabuto and Lord Zanginis showed complicated expressions.

“Mmm, I assure you that my desire has nothing to do with his race or bloodline.

I have eaten thousands of people from all races, with humans making up the bulk of it.” Cain thought that the trio’s worry stemmed from the idea that he wanted to treat members of the Deus Behemoth Race as animals, which was why he shared the truth.

Yet, that did not change their expressions.

Although Cain’s intelligence and wisdom were off the charts, his sense of what was normal was very twisted.

And eating people was indeed very, very weird.

Seeing that his words did not have the desired effect, Cain’s eyes narrowed as he spoke again to the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire.

“Give him to me, and I will help you uproot most of the Dark Factions all across the Deus Behemoth Empire within a year.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Redsunworld Discord channel: https://discord.gg/R666sNEdrU Special shout-out to: -Top Golden Tickets: Zamir, wilythecandyman, and TriTEEN7.
