The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2379 Killing the Immortal Knight
Previously on The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order...
The True Primordial of the Void along with the Knights of the Scarlet
Kingdom unleashed their full might without holding back, ripping apart each True Depravita that attempted to block their way.
Their actions struck with ruthless precision, eyes fixed intently on the pair leading the charge. With the red boxes shattered and the stream of invading beasts halted, dismantling the gravitational array would prove straightforward. From there, uncovering the real culprit orchestrating this turmoil would simply be a question of moments.
Cold resolve flickered in Anark's gaze.
He understood full well the formidable entity fueling this attack, a power far from trivial. The Primordial Force of the Void echoed the desperation in his spirit, thundering fiercely as it rushed within him.
Each pulse of his heart propelled the True Primordial of the Void onward at greater speed, warping space beneath his feet while his mere aura wiped out lesser Depravitas instantly.
High above the suspended metropolis, the Scarlet King ground his teeth.
Despite aid from the quartet of powerhouses, True Depravitas kept smashing against his Chaos Wings, bursting with savage force. Each blast jolted his frame, endangering the Scarlet Crown's balance and pulling it toward collapse. The burden weighed heavily, his reserves depleting rapidly.
Still, Cain stood firm. Every ounce of his physical and spiritual strength stood poised to conquer this disaster and eliminate the guilty party.
Unbeknownst to him, though, a different shadow slipped across the Scarlet Crown.
A fifth entity existed—one immune to the crushing gravitational force. Apart from the duo of Primordials and the trio of Knights, just one figure held the ability to bypass the array completely.
Sozing.
The Immortal Knight from the Tenth Empyrean World glided noiselessly across the airborne city, his essence masked to flawless invisibility. His stare cut like a dagger, pinning on Cain's rear. With measured strides, he closed in, reining in his presence so totally that no hint of disturbance rippled through the ambient energies.
This trap had exacted a steep toll.
Sozing had squandered some of the Tenth Empyrean World's most potent artifacts and exposed two key puppets under his control. Failure now meant no path to recovery. That very stakes drove him to risk it all.
The nearer he approached the Scarlet King, the more intense the oppression grew.
Sozing had battled countless horrors. He had endured conflicts that fractured the Ten Empyrean Suns Universe down the middle. He had strode the pinnacle of reality alongside the one who reshaped fate. And still—
For all his experience...
"I feel as if a serpent is coiling around my body, ready to devour me."
This individual hadn't even reached three centuries, yet he instilled dread in Sozing.
"If he is allowed to continue growing," Sozing mused darkly, "his fangs may one day be aimed at Adam himself."
A fierce commitment, drawn from his innermost being, welled up.
Sozing aligned himself ideally.
Right then, a fresh barrage of Shooting Star True Depravitas hammered the Chaos Wings. The hovering city shuddered wildly, compelling Cain's power to flare out and steady it.
There lay the vulnerability.
Sozing struck.
He darted ahead with velocity that would stun even an
Alpha-Omega Overgod, while emitting zero aura traces. His palm shot forth like a bolt, aiming straight for Cain's skull.
However—
As his fingertips neared mere inches—
A pair of crimson eyes, brimming with vast depths of feeling, seized him in their stare.
In that split second, the collective yearnings, resolves, faiths, and drives from the myriad soldiers who trusted in Cain exploded outward. The immense force of their loyalty slammed into Sozing's spirit and psyche like a raging flood.
And then—
A lance thrust ahead.
It bore the might to obliterate all of creation.
Even the formidable Immortal Knight of the Tenth Empyrean World—the mentor to Adam—couldn't halt the Zero-State Spear from
striking his forehead.
Having bottled up all his energies to stay hidden, his body offered no resistance.
The spear drove into his cranium.
It tore through his mind and burst out the rear of his skull amid a gush of blood and brain tissue.
The Scarlet King's eyes blazed with lethal intent so icy it halted time and space as he glared at Sozing.
"I built this place with my own blood and essence," Cain stated evenly. "You did well hiding your intentions and emotions. Unfortunately for you... your determination burned just a little too brightly."
Sozing's eyes bulged.
Disbelief gripped him.
His own resolve had undone him.
The youth facing him was a true abomination.
Before Sozing could scramble to turn the tide, the Scarlet King's stare ignited with an authority echoing his sibling's dominion.
"Chaos of Extermination: Soul Unraveling."
A catastrophic rush of energy flooded the Zero-State Spear, shredding Sozing's soul apart. It mirrored closely the force the Crimson Exarch wielded to nearly shatter the Ancient One's skull, a beast at the peak of the Alpha-Omega Overgod Rank.
The Immortal Knight's facade melted away, exposing his authentic shape as the glow in his eyes dimmed to oblivion.
No compassion stirred.
No leniency offered.
Cain observed impassively as the Immortal Knight's soul got
utterly annihilated, vanishing from being.
Only upon verifying the end had come did Cain permit himself one easing breath.
It would ring false to claim he hadn't suspected the Tenth Empyrean World. This strike had caught him off guard—but ultimately,
it had resolved favorably.
Or that's what he assumed.
Abruptly—
Sozing's eyes ignited anew.
"Impossible!" Cain bellowed.
He was positive of the kill.
Before grasping the unfolding events, Sozing seized
the spear in one grip and shoved his mangled form closer. Crimson flowed unchecked, but it enabled the Immortal Knight to fulfill his aim.
His fist sank into Cain's cranium.
"I won."
