The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 326 Magnus

Chapter 326 Magnus

'G.o.ds among men.'

That was the feeling Cain thought the creator of this place wanted to inspire. Even if they were in the same plane, those on the top could look down on those on the bottom.

Cain only shook his head but did not offer an opinion about it since even he was not impervious to the feeling of superiority. After all, by any metric, he was superior to billions of other youths across the empire.

Luckily for Cain, the enemies he was making on his path were so powerful that he never grew complacent with his strength.

He did not waste too much time with those thoughts and began walking to the Heaven Sundering Hall, where the Imperial Feast would occur.

Krane immediately regained his focus as he saw Cain walking forward. He was a Middle Wave King and a n.o.ble before his crimes, but even then, he never enjoyed the status required to attend this sort of ceremony, so he was a little dumbfounded by the wondrous view.

'It should be the first time he enjoys a sight like this, yet he can keep his emotions under flawless control. The view of a G.o.d clearly means very little to this young man.'

The more Krane learned from Cain, the more he felt the young man was full of mystery.

Cain noticed Krane's stare but simply walked forward.

Just the path to the hall was majestic. It was a meticulously landscaped Gaia's exotic flora and fauna. Cherry blossom trees heavy with fragrant blossoms line cobblestone paths, and koi fish glide gracefully through lotus-filled ponds. The scents of rare flowers flooded the air along with the soft murmur of a thousand exotic birds.

Cain was surprised by the beauty of the place but did not think much about it until he suddenly felt his mind growing calmer and his Astral Wave revolving more smoothly across his body.

Krane had also noticed the change, but he just took it as a change in the energy flooding the place. Yet, Cain's mind was able to pierce much deeper thanks to his understanding of The Flow.

Shock and awe appeared in his eyes as he realized there was a natural formation in this place, not made by inscribing runes but by the arrangement of the trees, earth, and air currents around them.

Whoever created this path had divine control and domain over the origin energy that flooded Aether.

"Marvelous."

Cain could not help but express his admiration as The Flow showed him just how amazing this place truly was.

"Hmph, since when is Heaven Sundering Mountain a place mere commoners can enter?"

Unfortunately for Cain, he was not able to focus on that wondrous feeling for long since a mocking voice appeared behind him.

Cain and Krane turned around and saw a small group of five people walking toward them. All of them had azure hair and wore golden robes.

The one at the lead was a man not over thirty years old with sky-blue eyes. He was not more than one meter and ninety centimeters, but his aura was the greatest of the group, and the Essence Wave running across his body felt like an endless sky.

Cain and Krane frowned since this group clearly belonged to the Azure Royal Family, and their bloodline and energy density were vastly superior to the duo they faced last time.

Cain could feel the animosity in the eyes of the entire group, and it was clear they recognized him. He knew his actions on the Azure State would bring him problems with the Azure Royal Family, but he did not think it would happen so soon.

'Ahhhh.'

Cain could not help but sigh in his mind, yet that did not stop his eyes from bursting with red light as he looked back at the group.

Expression of discomfort appeared in four members of the Azure Royal Family as they stared into Cain's eyes since neither of them could equal the willpower of a Late Wave King.

Luckily for them, that discomfort faded the next second as the eyes of the man at the lead glowed with golden light, displaying an Ego Wave that was even mightier than Cain.

"No wonder you dare to refuse the invitation of my older brother."

The man spoke coldly as the golden light in his eyes burst with even greater power.

"I should introduce myself, or else people might say that the Azure Royal Family has the same manner as commoners. I am..."

"I don't care."

Before the man could finish his words, Cain interrupted him and turned around, walking toward the hall.

Shock appeared in the man from the Azure Royal Family, as he could not believe that someone dared to ignore him, and even worse, that person was a simple commoner.

Of course, the man was aware of Cain's name and rank in the military, but for him, the Imperial Army was just a tool and could not compare with the power and status of n.o.bility.

"You dare!"

The man roared as his Essence Wave burst as he took a spear from his s.p.a.ce ring.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he saw that move. He knew the man was very powerful, even more than him, but he did not need to win this battle.

He pushed The Flow to the limit, allowing him to perceive the movement of every muscle and the energy flow in the opponent as he prepared to endure the incoming attack.

However, just as the man from the Azure Royal Family was about to attack, a voice echoed across the mountain.

"Fourth Azure Prince!"

That voice was not only loud but carried a powerful intent that managed to stop the Fourth Azure Prince from attacking.

A frown appeared in the Fourth Azure Prince as he looked from the source of that voice, and his eyes narrowed when he saw the one responsible.

The one that shouted was a young man not older than Cain with jet-black hair and fiery red eyes.

"Magnus h.e.l.lblazer."

Even the arrogant Fourth Azure Prince dared not lash out against the young man since this one was the greatest genius of the h.e.l.lblazer Family and widely recognized as the future h.e.l.lblazer Duke.

The Fourth Azure Prince took a deep breath as he stared at Magnus. He calmed his rage, but the coldness in his eyes did not fade.

"Why are you defending this commoner? Should I take as the will of the First Imperial Prince?"

Magnus stared at the Fourth Imperial Prince before softly shaking his head and sighing.

"I do not understand why the Third Imperial Prince would choose someone like you to be his escort in the Imperial Feast. It is like asking a baboon to choose your clothes. You will only bring embarra.s.sment to yourself."

Silence reigned across the mountain after Magnus uttered those words. Cain had just ignored the Fourth Azure Prince, but Magnus compared this one to a baboon. Discover exclusive tales on empire

Magnus spoke again before the Fourth Azure Prince could even process those words.

"The First Imperial Prince and Third Imperial Prince are in an alliance, so I can not let you embarra.s.s both of them. If you attacked the escort of the Fourth Imperial Prince in such sacred terrain, what kind of compensation do you think they would have to pay?"

Shock and dread crossed the Fourth Azure Prince's eyes as he heard that and realized that he nearly made a grave mistake. His t.i.tle granted him the authority to do as he pleased in most places, but this was the capital, and he was far from special.

The Fourth Azure Prince turned toward Cain, and as he saw the flash of disappointment, he understood that everything had been a scheme. Burning rage emerged in his heart, but he did not dare to attack, and after glancing at Magnus, he walked forward with his group.

Magnus saw the man walking away without saying thanks but did not care since, from the start, he never cared about forming a relations.h.i.+p with the Azure Royal Family.

It is like a great general of the Old World once said: what one should really fear is not a competent enemy but an incompetent ally.

Magnus did not have time to reflect since he soon felt tremendous pressure on his mind as two cold red eyes focused on him. The young man stared back at Cain and his eyes began to glow with silver light.

Cain's eyes narrowed as he felt the willpower of an Early Wave King on Magnus!

Although the silver Ego Wave was much weaker than his, Cain was a genius with an Inborn Ego Eternal Matrix, while Magnus had to reach that level by pure hard work.

No matter how you saw it, the young man from the h.e.l.lblazer Family's talent in the Ego Eternal Path of Power was not weaker than Cain.

A flash of killing intent appeared in Cain's eyes, but it immediately faded as he focused on Magnus' shadow.

Cain clasped his hand and performed a slight bow to the shadow before walking away with Krane.
