The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2373 Knight of the Scarlet Throne

Previously on The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order...
Cain summoned Leonidas, praising his unyielding loyalty and meteoric rise despite a devouring curse, and offered a profound evolution to transcend the limits of the Six Sacred Races. This fusion would merge Leonidas's Alter-Ego and primordial essence into a Scarlet Star within the Scarlet Throne, granting immense spiritual and psychic energy along with virtual immortality—though bound to Cain's fate, ending if Cain perishes. With fierce resolve, Leonidas accepted, his Alter-Ego surging into the throne realm to merge with the star as Cain unleashed the Power of Chaos, guided by the A.I. Chip Module, initiating a violent transformation that drew in soul fragments and reshaped the star's essence while Leonidas's body stood vacant.

Immense power surged continuously into Leonidas's Scarlet Star. Within just a day, its size had almost tripled, showing no indications that the expansion was about to halt. The star kept growing without mercy, its outer layer throbbing as colossal energies flooded in unchecked.

Bloodshot eyes marked Cain as he oversaw each phase of the change. The procedure demanded extreme precision. This emerging heavenly entity inside the Scarlet Throne was set to house Leonidas's Alter-Ego. It had to manage his corporeal form effectively, while also developing in tandem with him—progressing, fortifying, and advancing steadily on the Ego Eternal Path of Power.

A single error might lead to total and unfixable ruin.

Seven days elapsed.

Upon finishing, the Scarlet Star had absorbed a staggering volume of spiritual force and psychic energy, enough to overwhelm even an Alpha-Omega Overgod to the point of bursting. About ten percent of the Scarlet Throne's territory had been sacrificed to power the shift.

Finally, the transformation reached its end.

Suspended in the Scarlet Throne's heavens was no mere star anymore. It had become a world.

A planetary core blazed at its heart, born from merging Leonidas's Alter-Ego with the Scarlet Star—a fiery blend of determination, self, and pure might. Encircling it lay varied layers of mantle and crust, meticulously shaped, crafting a complete heavenly sphere.

The Scarlet World quivered briefly.

Next, a tremendous explosion of energy burst from its core.

Vast quantities of spiritual force and psychic energy rushed toward it, like a black hole awakening in the Scarlet Throne. Nearby space flared up, shining as though ignited by pure intensity alone.

Right then, Leonidas's physical form—still positioned in front of Cain—snapped its eyes open.

A fierce torrent of energy exploded outward from him.

Enormous tides of Ego Energy and psychic force swept through his frame, infusing every single cell. Flesh, bones, and soul underwent simultaneous reshaping, hammered anew under the crushing force.

For an instant, Cain's sight grew hazy. The toll from the previous seven days had been brutal, testing the boundaries of his incredible stamina. Yet his attention soon cleared as he examined the shifts in Leonidas's body.

"I figured on a huge boost to his Ego Wave," Cain rasped, his tone rough. "The merging lifted the caps on both the amount and thickness of his energy reserves. But this..."

A gradual grin crept over his features.

"The alterations to the body... I never saw this coming."

As Cain watched intently, Leonidas's form started to shift. Features that appeared only during Resurrección activation were now fixed forever in his structure. Muscles grew thicker, his aura weighed more heavily, and his presence cut sharper, more dominating. "This body will always show the peak form of his ego," Cain murmured softly.

The discovery stunned and thrilled alike.

Resurrección was always a phenomenal enhancement, yet it exacted a heavy price—draining huge energy stores and stressing body and soul severely. That weight no longer

burdened Leonidas.

Additional hours dragged on before the change settled fully.

Once stable, Leonidas's gaze flared with such fierce intensity that the very fabric of space quaked in response.

He gripped his fists tightly.

Flows of Ego Wave and psychic power instantly surged from them, twisting the atmosphere and bending space near his hands.

"Now, every action I take," Leonidas stated deliberately, his words echoing with fresh command, "holds the complete force of my Ego Eternal Path of Power."

His stare blazed as understanding took hold.

The Ego Wave did more than just amplify his power anymore. It coursed through each atom and speck in his being, remaking his essence into a vital embodiment of his path.

Leonidas drew in a profound breath, then faced Cain. He dropped to one knee without delay, bowing his head in deep reverence.

"I am grateful to you, Scarlet King," Leonidas declared resolutely. "This strength will be used

to incinerate the foes of the Scarlet Kingdom and spread the Scarlet Path to every star across the cosmos."

Cain observed him quietly.

Solemnity filled his eyes, laden with command.

This went beyond simple advancement or improvement. It signaled the emergence of a novel warrior type—undying beings able to battle to oblivion, rebuild without end, their fates tied forever to his.

With a gesture of his hand, Cain called forth a Zero-State Sword. The weapon gleamed softly as he rested it on Leonidas's shoulders. "Stand, Leonidas," Cain proclaimed. "You are now the inaugural Knight of the Scarlet Throne."

Leonidas stood up.

His towering figure emanated colossal strength as he pressed fist to chest and inclined in salute once again to Cain. In silence, he left, heading back to his quarters to start harnessing his

newly gained abilities.

The impending conflict with the World of the Root required as much.

After Leonidas departed, quiet enveloped the throne chamber.

Cain permitted himself to slump to the floor at last, a broad smile lighting his face.

He had triumphed.

Leonidas had broken past the constraints of the Six Sacred Races. His Ego Wave reached a tier unmatched by peers of equal standing. Though it fell short of the absolute dominance in Cain's Ego Above Reality, the immense scale and compactness of Leonidas's energy would vastly heighten his combat prowess. And that ignored the enduring Resurrección mode now ingrained in his body.

"I have to admit," Apex's voice resounded in Cain's thoughts, "I'm truly amazed, lad. Your achievement here is nothing short of extraordinary."

"This evolution sparked by the method qualifies as a racial leap," Apex went on. "Naturally, it won't transmit through bloodlines, and the capacity remains finite—but it's a massive advancement."

Cain breathed out steadily.

Apex spoke true.

Should Leonidas sire children, they wouldn't carry the rank of Knight of the Scarlet Throne. And considering the colossal energy and territory needed to create a Scarlet World, Cain estimated just two further repetitions

prior to restoring the Scarlet Throne's base.
