The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Shock and horror appeared in the Poison Octopus as it turned to its dead comrade, but the only thing it saw was a red flash.

"ZNNNN!"

And the next second, a blade pierced its eye socket, flooding its brain with Grand Blood Runes that shredded its brain to mush. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Cain pulled Slaughter out of the creature's eye and stood still. His heartbeat was beating like crazy, and the Blood Wings on his back were vibrating at an overwhelming speed. The combination of Asura Form, Blood Wing, and the Law of Space allowed Cain to dodge the acid and poison and kill both beasts before they could even react.

"BOOM!"

The crashing sound that made the ground tremble was the halves of the Silver Edge Shark finally reaching the ground. Cain had killed all four Grand King Beasts before the corpse of the first one had even landed.

Cain's eyes grew sharp as he took a moment to sense the blood of all the Grand King Beasts and harmonize with them through the Law of Blood. Since there was so much vitality, he might as well use it to form Bloodthirsty Runes!

"ROOOAARRR!"

Of course, the horde would not just sit back and wait as Cain trained, and roars echoed as dozens of Late and Peak King Beasts marched toward him, with Grand King Beasts making their way from the distance and some emerged from the very ocean.

The Blood Nails kept the weaker Wave Beasts at bay, but for the stronger ones, Cain would be the one to take care of them.

Cain detected the beasts marching toward him and took a deep breath as he deactivated Third Gear, leaving only Second Gear active. Although the improvement was not as significant, he could maintain that state for hours without a problem.

"ZNNNN!"

A Peak King Beast with the form of a Sea Lion lunged toward Cain, but he just stepped to the side, dodging the beast before waving his blade and splitting it in half. He did all that while focusing on the blood filled with vitality on the ground and trying to form Bloodthirsty Runes.

"ZNNN!"

Not even five seconds after the Sea Lion's death, another Late King Beast attacked Cain and suffered the same fate.

"ZNNNN!" "ZNNNN!" "ZNNNN!"

Minutes began to pass, and the number of corpses that appeared on the ground beneath Cain soon formed a mountain. He would move just a step before sending a strike with Slaughter to kill the King Beasts and would only break his focus for a second when facing Grand King Beasts.

Within an hour of Cain's arrival, he had crushed hundreds of King Beasts and left dozens of Grand King Beasts dead in his wake.

As for Wave Champion Beasts and normal Wave Beasts, Cain did not even bother to count them, but by the rivers of blood that covered the ground, it must have been tens of thousands by this point.

Cain barely moved from his location in the sky, allowing the Wave Beasts to march toward him as he kept improving his domain over the Bloodthirst Runes. However, suddenly, his eyes widened, and his instincts screamed danger.

"BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!"

An explosive sound echoed from inside the ocean, and the next second, a figure flashed out of it with such movement and speed that it pushed the waves back.

Cain immediately made his energy explode and grabbed Slaughter with both hands as he triggered Third Gear and twisted his body, using the full power of his torque as he struck the figure that flashed toward him.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Cain's Slaughter clashed head-on with an over five hundred meter creature that seemed to be the hybrid between a bullfrog and a dragon bathed in blue lightning.

The Godslayer Human and Wave Beast managed to maintain the clash for a second before Cain was sent hurtling away while puking blood and crashing against a mountain thousands of meters away.

"BOOOOOMMMMMMM!"

Cain crashed with the mountain with so much power that it pulverized it, yet he emerged from the debris the next second. Blood was all over his body, but the wounds soon healed as bright golden flames emerged from his Alter-Ego.

He showed no care for the damage as his eyes focused solely on the creature that clashed with him with such power and momentum that he felt a meteorite had crashed into him.

"A Divine Beast!"

The bullfrog, which seemed to contain the bloodline of a lightning dragon and managed to send Cain flying away while puking blood, was a beast that had crossed into the Divine Ranks. Although a Divine Wave Beast was weaker than their counterparts with Sacred Organs, they could still harness the power of their souls, and they were usually more than powerful enough to kill Peak Apotheosis Masters!

As one would expect from such a creature, it had developed a great sense of wisdom, which was why it was so shocked to see that the Godslayer Human it attacked by surprise could still stand. Not only that, but the clash left a scar on its diamond-incrusted head.

The Divine Beast took Cain's survival as a personal insult, and burning rage appeared in its eyes, but its body trembled for a second as an expression of pain assaulted it.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw that and knew his attack was not responsible. As he focused on the beast with his Ego Wave, he was surprised to see signs of old wounds that had yet to close, along with a strange feeling in the beast's life force as if it was in disarray.

'It was poisoned!?'

For a poison to remain this long and have such an effect on a Divine Beast, despite their overwhelming vitality and immune system, the most likely perpetrator must have been a Divine Ascension Master.

Cain knew that Divine Ascension Masters from the Deus Behemoth Empire were sent to all coastal cities to take care of the first wave of the horde emerging from the ocean, and this Draco Lightning Frog must have been one of the beasts that clashed with them.
