The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Like before, the Scarlet King attempted to immediately transform that 6 Revolution Flame into a 7 Revolution Flame, but while he managed to improve its power, it grew unstable and faded.

The Scarlet King and Astrid looked at each other with a solemn light in their eyes. They began to discuss all sorts of mathematical formulas and chemical equations to fix the problems and improve the conversion efficiency while keeping the flame stable.

After nearly an hour and reaching a consensus, the Scarlet King formed a Refinement Flame again, getting a 7 Revolution flame without a problem and channeling energy into it. Everything went well, but once again, it trembled before dispersing.

It was the second time the Scarlet King failed to evolve the 7 Revolution Flame to the next level in a row, but he was not disheartened since he was closer this time, and after discussing with Astrid how to improve, he strived once again.

Luckily for the Scarlet King, he did not have to waste wave crystals since the [Gluttony Module] gave him all the energy he could need.

The duo saw how the 7 Revolution Flame came to be once again and how this one grew stronger and stronger. Astrid guided during crucial points, and after much effort, the Scarlet King evolved it into an 8 Revolution Flame!

Pure excitement could be seen in the eyes of the duo, but all good things had to come to an end. While they walked extremely slowly, they had been advancing for nearly ten hours and finally reached Astrid's home.

The young Atrox's eyes released a flash of disappointment as she saw her house, and she stared at the Scarlet King for a moment before extending the golden book toward him.

"I can lend it to you. I am sure you will give it a better use than I do."

The Scarlet King's eyes narrowed as he saw that. The golden book was the sole reason he had approached the young Atrox, and it was why he came back today, but he shook his head.

"Keep it. Analyze all you saw today and try to develop new insights that can help me in the future with the information in the book. Here, you can have this as well."

Astrid was surprised to see Kain rejecting the book and handing the Refinement Flame to her. She still had the 9 Revolution Flame from before, but this one was different since she was involved in its creation.

"I will accept it. I hope we can talk again soon, and I will do my best to improve my understanding of the art."

After saying those words, Astrid took the sphere with the 8 Revolution Flame and turned around. However, just as she was about to enter her home, she stopped and turned toward Kain.

"When forming the 9 Revolution Flame, keep the conversion and condensation vector at a ratio of 2 to 1. I am sure it will improve your chances."

The Scarlet King smiled as he heard those words and saw the woman vanish. While the golden book was helpful, the insight and guidance from Astrid were even better. Now that was over, he turned around and flashed back to the central plaza but had moved away from the castle just a few thousand meters when he froze, and his eyes narrowed as he looked into the sky.

In the sky above the Scarlet King was an Atrox with blue armor that seemed to be made of oceanic mineral, and his aura was truly overwhelming, unleashing a pressure that seemed capable of crushing mountains as if they were a bunch of dried leaves.

"I must say that your instincts are top-notch, young man, to have detected me after unleashing but a fragment of my force."

The Scarlet King's eyes narrowed as he stared at the man in the sky. He had detected the man long ago as this one followed him from Astrid's home, but it would have been suspicious if he reacted too fast. After all, he was only an Early Wave Champion, and the Atrox seemed to be someone with a foot in the Divine Ascension Realm!

"What can this envoy from the Inferno Daemon Race do for a senior of the Atrox Immortus Empire?"

The Atrox man's eyes narrowed as he heard the words of the Scarlet King, as they had several implications. If he were to attack or do something that could involve harm to Kain, it could very well provoke a significant intercontinental incident.

"Mmm, it seems that what they say about the Hell Clan is true. You are truly good with your words. Don't worry; I don't intend to do anything foolish. Of course, that is on the assumption you don't do anything to harm my daughter."

The Scarlet King stared into the man's eyes and could feel a certain resemblance with those of Astrid, and by the look of it, this one was her father.

"My intentions are clear. I am just fascinated by the art of Tribulation Enhancement, and Astrid seems happy to help me. Nothing else is happening between us."

People can be irrational regarding their families, especially fathers with their daughters. Hence, the Scarlet King was careful with his words, making it clear to the powerhouse that nothing ominous or sinister was happening.

The Atrox stared at the Scarlet King for a long time before his eyes began to glow with a silver light that carried a small ember of fire.

"Young man, I have faced great enemies and led millions into war and death, gaining the respect of my peers and honor from my race. Yet, I have failed as a father as I cannot help my daughter. She will only live a normal lifespan of a few hundred years at most, and I will do everything in my power to ensure those years are full of happiness and safety."

The silver light in the Atrox's eyes burst with power as he uttered those words, making clear their level of conviction.
