The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Before Cain could even say a word, the man grabbed him by the shoulder, and the next second, they rose to the sky before flashing west of the Blood Volcano at a speed several hundred times faster than the speed of sound.

Cain could do nothing but focus his Essence Wave around his body to avoid the wind from burning his skin. Luckily, it did not take long, and they soon appeared above the sky of a massive cave.

Despite the grand entrance, a mysterious force obstructed the light, leaving only darkness visible inside.

"¡BOOM!"

Lord Zanginis did not say a word before he and Cain descended with overwhelming strength, shattering the ground with his feet.

Cain's senses were still a little foggy since the Deus Behemoth Archduke's speed was overwhelming even for him. Still, his eyes immediately grew sharp as he turned to the cave entrance and saw two figures suddenly materializing.

One of them was a young woman with a fierce appearance and silver fur covering her shoulders, as well as wolf ears and a tail, with a sword at her waist. As for the other, he was a bulging man with sharp eyes and a bronze exoskeleton covering his figure.

The duo immediately stepped forward as they clasped their hands and performed a slight bow.

"Arthemis of the Fenrir Clan greets His Highness, Archduke Zanginis."

"Korolis of the Kraken Clan greets His Highness, Archduke Zanginis."

Although the duo were peak Apotheosis Masters and holders of the Deus Behemoth's Ten Great Bloodlines, their status could not compare with the man, so they immediately bowed. However, the next second, their eyes turned to the Godslayer Human next to him.

"He is Colonel Laurifer, a friend of the Zanginis Clan, and will use the Spatial Rift Grotto for the next three weeks."

The duo was surprised when they heard those words, and one immediately frowned.

"How could a human get access for three entire weeks all of a sudden!?"

The one who shouted was not the man from the Kraken Clan but the woman with the fierce appearance.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw her reaction while keeping an eye on the member of the Kraken Clan.

'The man showed nothing against me. Mmm, maybe the vendetta for Natuo doesn't involve the entire clan. As for the woman, I don't understand her reaction. When she first saw me, there was only surprise but no sense of loathing or xenophobia. Odd?'

Luckily for Cain, he did not have to handle her since Lord Zanginis' eyes immediately grew cold as a shocking bloodline aura emerged from his body, clashing with the woman and making her grow pale. Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Colonel Laurifer destabilized the underworld of the Colossus Sector on his own, effectively destroying 5 Tier 1 Dark Factions. Therefore, he earned the right to jump the queue and use the Spatial Rift Grotto for the next three weeks. If you have a problem, then do the same, and I am sure your reward will not be less."

Lord Zanginis could have simply used his power to extinguish any resistance, but he chose to explain as he did not want anyone to think that Cain was the type of person who went around pushing his background on others.

Shock appeared in the eyes of the two peak Apotheosis Realm Masters as they heard those words and turned to Cain with disbelief. Handling Dark Factions took more than just strength since they always hid in the darkness where light did not reach.

Cain did not offer any comments. His relationship with the Kraken Clan was not good, so he preferred to keep some distance from them. As for the woman, since she was against him, why would he waste any time bothering with how she felt?

In the end, the duo could only nod and step aside, letting Cain access the cave.

Lord Zanginis gave one sharp glance at the duo before turning toward Cain.

"The deeper you go in the Spatial Rift Grotto, the stronger the spatial distortions are, which will help you understand the Law of Space but also increase the danger. Remember not to bite off more than you can chew. I will return to pick you up when the tournament begins."

Cain clasped his hand and nodded to Lord Zanginis before waving his hand and taking a starry gem from his space ring.

"I managed to engrave Asura Form's Third Gear yesterday. Please take it."

A sneer appeared on the face of Arthemis as she saw how Cain handed a starry gem to Lord Zanginis.

'Hmph, who does he think he is? How could Lord Zanginis care about the technique that a measly brat could engrave.'

Although Korolis did not show the same level of disdain as the woman, he softly shook his head as he thought Cain was only embarrassing himself.

"Awesome!"

However, the duo was once again shocked as they saw the excitement and thrill in Lord Zanginis' face.

Lord Zanginis did not care what the other two Apotheosis Masters thought. He was indeed the definition of acting according to your wishes without caring for anyone else's thoughts and freely expressing your emotions. Since he felt happy, why would he hide it just to make other people think better of him?

Cain couldn't help but smile, finding the old man's behavior truly refreshing. Still, he did not waste time and bowed again to Lord Zanginis before walking into the grotto.

Lord Zanginis waited until Cain's figure vanished inside the Spatial Rift Grotto before sending a sharp glance at the two and flashing into the sky before disappearing.

Arthemis and Korolis looked at each other. The next second, their minds concentrated on their space rings as they sent the information about what had just happened to their respective families. Their primary role was to guard the grotto, which was the property of the Deus Behemoth Empire, but they were also in charge of keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.
