The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 609
Chapter 609: The upper echelon of Ocean Wrath Chapter 609: The upper echelon of Ocean Wrath Eon’s cultivation was nearing the Peak Divine Ascension Realm, and if he wished to advance beyond that, he would need to venture into the Astral Sea and reach for the stars. Once that happened, a new emperor would arise.
If the Scarlet Inquisition Force succeeded in annihilating all Tier 0 Dark Factions, then the Scarlet King would emerge as the frontrunner for the emperor title.
Eon and Wanton exchanged solemn expressions as they pondered the ramifications of what might happen if such a future came to pass.
“Civil war,” Eon uttered those two words, and Wanton nodded.
Normally, choosing the emperor of a race was not complicated as the strongest one would rise above all others.
Maybe they were not the best at ruling, but they were the ones who could establish order in an empire with hundreds of entities capable of leveling entire Sectors in a fit of rage.
If people were not happy with how things worked, then bad luck, as this was a world where might makes right.
However, things were different when it came to Cain.
By all definitions, he was a monstrous talent beyond measure, and there was no doubt in the duo’s mind that he would reach the might of a True Titan before the time Eon ventured into the stars.
Yet, even if the Scarlet King was the strongest entity in the Deus Behemoth Empire, he was a Godslayer Human, and there would be many who would not be happy with it.
If enough of the Noble Families and Great Bloodlines opposed Cain’s reign, there was a good chance a civil war could arise, dividing the empire in two.
Eon frowned, regretting not foreseeing this sooner, but now that everything was in motion, it was too late to stop this freight train.
“What should we do?” Wanton adopted a solemn expression upon hearing the question from the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire.
“Cain Laurifer is capable of inspiring love in those who side with him and dread in the hearts of his enemies.
He has unique powers capable of enhancing Titans’ foundations and is a master schemer with a cunning mind worthy of a millennia-old monster.” The Prime Minister paused before a sharp light appeared in his eyes.
“We have two paths: either support the ideology that a Godslayer Human could become our next emperor or make sure the empire becomes a toxic place for Cain Laurifer, making him want to leave.” Wanton was not really against the idea of a Godslayer Human Emperor in the Deus Behemoth Empire.
For him, as long as the person could improve the power and stability of the empire, there was no problem with granting him the title of emperor.
However, the Prime Minister knew that not everybody thought like him and many would rather have a weaker empire than call a human their emperor.
Eon’s face grew solemn as he listened and remained silent for several minutes before finally coming up with an answer.
“So we either side with the Scarlet King, a man capable of scorching the underworld and filling our people with hope for a better future, who has the unconditional love and support of Kabuto and Zuko.
Or, we side with those too blind to see that cooperation and acceptance are the keys to strength and safety.” After uttering those words, all doubt and hesitation in Eon’s eyes vanished, replaced by a sense of determination.
Wanton’s eyes widened as he saw the determination in his friend’s eyes, and he nodded with a small smile.
“Good.
I will take care of the problems that might arise.
We’ll slowly reinforce the nature and fame of the Scarlet King in the hearts of our people and identify those who will oppose him.” Eon knew that those who opposed the Scarlet King due to deep-seated xenophobia would be quietly removed from the empire.
Although Wanton had an amicable appearance, Eon was aware that the number of people who had perished under his schemes could be counted in the dozens of millions.
“You need to be careful if you make a move.
If people find out our intent, all our efforts might backfire.” “Don’t worry.
I will use the Umbra Clan to work in the shadows.
If they succeed, I will help them rebuild, and if they fail, I will just pretend they were working alone.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
Many in the empire consider the entire clan full of traitors, so no one will believe their words if they are discovered.” Eon nearly trembled as he heard his old friend speak of such devious and dark plans with a calm smile on his face.
Despite his low cultivation base, Wanton was a force of nature capable of twisting history and rewriting the military power of an empire.
“I will go back to my training.
If there’s a problem, contact me.” Wanton nodded to Eon, and after that, the former went back to the Imperial Court while the latter returned to his training.
— Inquisitor Gigant and Inquisitor Amalia were currently in the Bahamut Sector, accompanying them was none other than the Ocean Lord of Ocean Wrath, Duke Tazan.
The leader of the Tier 0 Dark Faction was not physically restrained, but his body, energy, and even willpower were effectively immobilized by the dark golden force that Inquisitor Amalia constantly infused into his body.
Duke Tazan was unable to move, but he could still observe his surroundings.
Turning his head slightly, he noticed on his right was a Deus Behemoth with white lion-like features, and on his left, was a woman with aquatic serpent features.
They were the other Divine Ascension Masters of Ocean Wrath, known by their code names White Ocean and Ocean Serpent.
Although the duo was incredibly powerful, they were bound by chains restricting their movements, and each was under the control of a Scarlet Inquisitor.
Normally, prisoners would be sent directly to the Scarlet Inquisitor Headquarters without an escort, and the Wave Kings and Apotheosis Masters present would manage them.
However, the situation was more complicated with Divine Ascension Masters involved and required the supervision of Titans.
