The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 603
Chapter 603: Scarlet Inquisition Force (IV) Chapter 603: Scarlet Inquisition Force (IV) Cain smiled as he saw the thousands of Wave Kings and Apotheosis Masters changing the terrain while the Rune Masters began to work on the teleportation formation.
Now that everything was in place, he could focus on his cultivation.
Of course, while the [A.I.
Chip Module] would be able to act as the information and logistic core of the Scarlet Inquisition Force, it would still need someone to process that information and act accordingly.
Luckily, there was an entity inside Cain’s soul sea that could fulfill that role.
‘Apex, I will be depending on you.’ “Ah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever, since you will be focused on your cultivation I will help you with this.” Cain only smiled as he heard the bored voice of the System Spirit, confident that Apex would do an even better job than he could.
Now he was truly free to focus on his cultivation, so he flashed back to the teleportation formation and vanished from sight.
— Scarlet Inquisition Force.
That was a name that spread like wildfire across the Deus Behemoth Empire.
It was a shockingly large military power originating from the Imperial Army with ten Titans under the control of the Godslayer Human and Sun Avatar, Cain Laurifer.
Many of the Noble Families were shocked and in disbelief after they found out that the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire had granted control over such an immense force to a Godslayer Human.
Their shock only increased as they learned that the goal of the Scarlet Inquisition Force was to uproot the Dark Factions across the Hyperion Continent.
Uprooting the Dark Factions of the Deus Behemoth Empire was a lofty and very ambitious goal, yet one that almost all Noble Families believed to be impossible to attain due to the very nature of the underworld.
Of course, it was still something worth fighting for, yet such a task should be given to an honorable and respected Deus Behemoth, not a Godslayer Human who had been in the empire for only a year.
Although Cain had performed great deeds, the truly mighty ones like the events in the Astral Bloodline Realm and the Umbra Clan were considered military secrets, so people only knew about his minor feats, such as his actions in the Colossus Sector’s underworld and his connection to the Solis Clan.
Those were still impressive but far from enough for the Emperor to grant someone so much power.
Clearly, the Scarlet Inquisition Force was not a force that the Noble Families found too compelling.
Of course, since it was a force that originated in the Imperial Army, it brought with it a sense of respect, and people waited to see the effect an inquisition would have.
Each Titan and their battalions were assigned to specific points in the Hyperion Continent that were also the core of the underworld.
As soon as those Star Cruisers descended, the hundreds of thousands of Wave Kings burst into action, using the target package granted by Cain, and began to capture people.
Surprisingly for all, the Scarlet Inquisition Force began with massive momentum as the first week they captured over 1 million people that belonged to all sorts of Dark Factions.
The bulk of those people were convicted criminals who managed to elude the empire’s law and had been hiding for years, yet the soldiers of the Scarlet Inquisition Force were able to find all of them.
But that was just a part of the detainees since many law-abiding citizens were swept under the wave of the Scarlet Inquisition Force.
At first, normal people were terrified as they did not understand what was happening and why the Imperial Army would go after innocent Deus Behemoths.
Many began to wonder when the soldiers would go after them.
Luckily, that feeling did not last long as by the end of each day, there would be a report on the main networks of the Deus Behemoth Empire where the so-called law-abiding citizens that the Scarlet Inquisition Force captured were shown.
There was shock and awe among the common people of the Deus Behemoth Empire when they saw that the people they believed were their quiet neighbors were criminals, and the evidence against them was so much that trying to deny it was impossible.
Apex was able to control the common masses’ fear with ease as he simply showed everybody a valid reason for the Scarlet Inquisition Force’s arrests.
However, the last group of detainees was more complicated, as even with a reason, they were not so easy to arrest.

That involved members of Noble Families.
Hundreds of thousands of the detainees were members of all sorts of Noble Families that had been involved with Dark Factions in one way or another.
Some only inquired into the underworld’s services while others were core members of those factions.
Even after being presented with the evidence, many of the Noble Families attempted to resist as they did not want to send their promising members to jail and tried to find a way through it, many trying to use bribery while others used force.
Some of the members of the Scarlet Inquisition Force were susceptible to bribery; after all, one could not expect a force of a million wide to have people of only impeccable character, but no soldier dared to accept them as they knew their every move and action was under surveillance.
As for the Noble Families trying to use force, that was not only useless but also dangerous.
Apex did not tolerate any sort of resistance and whenever a Noble Family would try to face the soldiers of the Scarlet Inquisition Force, he would respond with overwhelming force.
The System Spirit did not hesitate to give the order to kill nobles if they dared to fight against the soldiers.
Luckily, he did not have to carry out such ruthless action for long as the brutality of the Scarlet Inquisition Force soon spread across the empire, and everybody came to understand just how dangerous resisting them was.
