The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

The Atrox was terrified and did not know what was happening until he heard the voice of the man in the red mask.

"Use all your will to assimilate the energy that will begin to revolve around your body. If you succeed, I will let you leave, but failure would mean your body will explode like a balloon full of blood."

Janiro and the other Wave King also heard the man's words, and they saw how he deposited one of the spheres with a 9-colored flame into the cauldron before closing it.

The Scarlet King's eyes burst with focus as he pushed his mind to its peak and released the 9 Revolution Flame, triggering the Enhancement.

Immediately, the flame covered the Atrox's body, but he felt no pain. Just as he wondered about the effect of it, shock appeared in his eyes as an immense amount of energy flooded into his flesh and blood, so powerful that he felt it would make him burst.

"Focus!"

The Atrox heard the voice in his mind and did as told, using his will to help assimilate the energy into his flesh and blood, ensuring the process could continue. Minutes began to pass, and the man's eyes began to glow with excitement as he felt every part of his body experiencing quality improvements.

Unfortunately, that thrill did not last for long, as less than thirty minutes after the refinement began, the Atrox started to lose control, and the waves of energy flooding into his body were too much for him to contain.

"¡BOOM!"

Janiro and the other Atrox Wave King saw how the Refinement Cauldron trembled after an explosion echoed, and they could imagine what had just happened.

The Scarlet King frowned, not because of the man's death, but due to the failure.

'Everything went well, but as we passed the 80% mark, the energy flow grew much more potent, to the point that it became too hard to keep under control.' The Scarlet King closed his eyes for an entire hour as he went through the experience before opening them and looking at the other Wave King next to Janiro.

The man trembled with fear, but he could do nothing as his body jumped into the cauldron before a sphere with a 9 Revolution Flame was put in.

"Your friend failed because he grew too complacent. Push your mind to the limit and do not lose focus for a second if you want to survive."

Those words were only half right, but the Scarlet King wanted to establish the thought that by pushing himself, the man would survive, and by the look of resolution in the Atrox's eyes, it seemed to have worked.

Once again, the Scarlet King pushed his mind to the absolute peak as he went through with the Enhancement. He crossed the 80% mark this time, but just as he was about to complete the 9 Revolution Refinement, the energy flow in the Atrox's body grew unstable.

¡Save me!"

"¡BOOM!"

The Atrox shouted those words before his entire body burst, leaving a gory mess inside the refinement cauldron.

The plea of mercy from the Atrox meant nothing to the Scarlet King. He was utterly emotionless with people outside of his Life Matrix, not to mention that even before he embraced Order, he was always ruthless with his enemies and those who tried to do him harm.

After another hour of reflection and understanding, the Scarlet King's eyes turned toward Janiro. By now, the terror in the man's heart was overwhelming, but just like his friends, his body moved on its own into the cauldron.

"My skills have improved, and I am fairly certain that success will be achieved if you do your part."

Janiro heard those words, and while they could be a lie, he chose to believe them since he had no other option other than to push forward, doing all in his power to assimilate the flow of energy.

The 9 Revolution Flame flooded the interior of the cauldron. It covered Janiro's body before triggering a reaction from the world's energy, making it circulate across his body with overwhelming power.

Janiro's eyes were fierce as he pushed himself harder and harder, using every ounce of his willpower to drive the energy through his flesh and blood.

The Scarlet King's eyes narrowed as he felt the way the energy flowed through the Atrox's body. When facing certain death, some people break apart, while others cling to the slightest thread of hope, and it seemed that this Atrox was of the second kind.

Personally, the Scarlet King did not care what thoughts crossed the man's mind, but he was happy to see that the resolution in Janiro's heart and mind helped the process. He also pushed his mind beyond its limit as he guided the energy flow. After an hour, a sense of fatigue appeared in his eyes, but he just clenched his teeth and carried on.

"¡BOOM!"

A new burst echoed inside the cauldron, but this one was much less powerful, and it was not due to Janiro's body blowing to pieces. A burst of energy emerged from the Atrox's flesh and blood after enduring a 9 Revolution Refinement!

The lid of the cauldron opened, and Janiro emerged from it. There was a sense of wonder in the man's eyes as he felt how his body had changed. It felt stronger, more durable, and faster, but it was much more than that.

The only way the Atrox could explain it would be the difference between the state of a body before and after three years of intense hard work. Every system in his body and how it reacted was significantly better than before. It worked as a flawless machine, erasing much of the damage it had endured over the years and drastically improving its foundation.@@novelbin@@

Just as Janiro was analyzing his body, so was the Scarlet King, but his analysis was much more powerful as he used the [Pseudo Atomic Analysis] tool.
