The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 979

Chapter 979: Kill and devour Chapter 979: Kill and devour Those words, like a thunderclap, shattered the silence in the room, leaving behind an unsettling tension.

How could a mere world dare to challenge a universe?

The audacity of their unity was a direct challenge to other powers of the Nine Empyrean Sun Universe, who would surely not idly watch them rise.

Yet, they were trapped in a perilous stalemate.

Aligning with the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe’s ideology would mean annihilating one of the camps, sparking a cataclysmic world war.

The forces on both sides were evenly matched, their destructive potential so immense that a full-scale battle would reduce the world to ashes, with the victor ruling over a desolate wasteland.

Of course, all that would change if the Scarlet King supported one side as his strength as the World King was absolute, but it was clear by all his plans and schemes that was not the path he was searching for.

“What can we do?” Finally, the Collapsing Lightning Emperor could not help but utter those words, and everybody turned to the Scarlet King.

Cain’s eyes, devoid of mercy, glinted with a chilling resolve.

A hunger and savagery emanated from him, so palpable that it seemed to freeze the very air in the room.

“Anyone who dares to question my rule or our ideology, we will not just kill them, but devour them, using their essence to fuel our ascent.” Those words made the Six Chief Councilors and 13 Stars of Doomsday tremble as they saw the image of the Scarlet King change into that of a gargantuan serpentine monster that could swallow entire worlds.

It was evident that the Scarlet King’s vision for Aether’s unification diverged from his plans for the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

Those forces in the higher dimension would be left with a choice: align with him or face annihilation.

Such ruthlessness was not without merit, but it posed a problem.

“But my King, how can a mere world fight an entire universe?” Prime Minister Minxet’s blank eyes showed he did not have the slightest clue about handling the upcoming saga.

Luckily for the man, the Scarlet King did not keep him waiting.

“A direct clash will mean our end, but who says we must enforce a direct clash?

I have the means to grow without end while hiding our true nature and protecting our people.

We will bide our time, and when the right moment comes, we will show our full might and crush anyone that dares to stand in our path.” The brutality and bloodlust in Cain’s eyes only grew stronger as red flames emerged, showing his determination to carry on that bloody path.

In reaction to the red flames in the eyes of the Scarlet King, the eyes of the Six Chief Councilors and 13 Stars of Doomsday also burned, washing away fear and doubt and filling them with decisiveness and brutality.

Cain nodded as he saw those emotions in the warriors’ eyes.

He could not allow hesitation and doubts about his schemes and plans for the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

Seeing that everything was in order, he allowed his aura to grow calm and continued.

“Go on and organize the Continent Tournaments.

Only the best of the best can reach the Scarlet Tournament as they will be the people that will become my spear for my plans in the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.” Cain’s voice echoed across the room, reaching the soul and will of everyone present.

“I will also need all the bloodlines to reach the Babel Tower next month.

No delay is acceptable.” The Six Chief Councilors and the 13 Stars of Doomsday performed a deep bow as they left the Babel Tower.

Those masters did not waste a single second before flashing back to their respective homes and preparing to fulfill the commands of the Scarlet King.

After Cain was left alone in the throne room of the Babel Tower, an expression of tiredness appeared.

There were so many plans and schemes in his mind right now that he felt his brain might explode at any moment.

That expression was something people could never see as they needed an absolute leader who was in total control, someone who could make them feel they could clash with an entire universe.

Cain’s willpower soon raced forward, filling him with strength and focus.

He did not waste time and, the next second, vanished from the throne room, only to appear in the sky of the [Samsara Arsenal Module]’s First Layer the next second.

The thousands of warriors that once filled the layer were gone.

After emerging from the First Layer to join the war effort, they remained outside, and if they wanted to return, they would have to do it through the Scarlet Tournament.

Cain did not doubt those people would be able to return, as their training was much more intense, and the benefits they obtained over the last few years of training inside the First Layer were superb.

The lack of warriors did not mean the [Samsara Arsenal Module]’s First Layer was empty, as thousands of people were inside.

They were not warriors but cultivators who had chosen to align their cultivation base with professions like Rune Crafting, Genetic Coding, Alchemy, Wave Crafting, or Enhancement Tribulation.

While choosing that path limited their destructive potential, it allowed their cultivation speed to soar and immensely boosted their talent in their professions.

These people were allowed to remain inside the [Samsara Arsenal Module]’s First Layer because they were carving the treasures for the future champions of the Babel Tower.

Although Cain had the Samsara Sacrificial Ground at his disposal, he wanted to diminish the reliance on it.

They could feed an entire army because they were sacrificing hundreds of millions of drones every week, but that was no longer possible.

Of course, the Samsara Flames were still a core of his power, but it would remain for the elites.

The masters around the Codex of Infinite Pathways would forge the weapons, armor, and potions for the bulk of the troops.
