The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2325 Asura Form vs Asura Form

Cain traversed the frozen landscape, a faint grin touching his lips as the frost gave way beneath his boots. Origin Island was a place of extreme peril. Many of the insects skittering across its surface secreted venoms powerful enough to freeze his nervous system, and the very climate felt antagonistic toward all living things. Nevertheless, the energy generated by the island's unique laws possessed an unparalleled potency.

This energy fueled his physical development at a remarkable pace, strengthening his flesh and spirit with every stride. Even more shocking was its ability to directly nourish his True Name—a result that even untainted Origin Power had failed to produce.

Cain found it equally impressive that he could funnel this energy into his Neo-Demon Core. With each passing cycle, the synchronization between the core and the integrated Blue Matrix refined itself, becoming more fluid, effective, and whole. The resonance between the two components stabilized, resembling two discordant frequencies finally achieving perfect alignment.

Naturally, Cain did not allow his personal growth to distract him from his objective. He pushed forward without pause, heading straight for the island's heart, where the Eternity Gate was presumed to be hidden.

Following five hours of constant travel, Cain eventually halted his advance.

A colossal wall of ice blocked his path. It soared toward the heavens, its ancient, layered surface appearing durable enough to withstand an infinite onslaught. The frozen monolith emitted a silent, heavy pressure, as if it were less a natural formation of ice and more a barricade woven from the island's fundamental laws.

"Should I scale it?" Cain whispered to himself.

Utilizing the Power of Chaos, he could distinctly sense a more intense energy radiating from the far side of the barrier. With no gate or passage in sight, the only way forward was to go through—or over—the obstacle.

Just as he weighed his choices, a voice called out from behind him.

"Hello. Are you alone, or did you come with someone else?"

Cain’s pupils dilated for a split second. An intruder had managed to get close without alerting his senses or the protective field of his Supercomputer Assistant. That fact alone was startling. Immediately, a wave of focus, willpower, and icy detachment filled his eyes as he turned to confront the stranger.

The man standing there possessed white hair that danced in the freezing gale. His piercing violet eyes held a steady yet daunting intensity. He was clad in a dark, loose kimono left open at the chest to show a powerful build. A frayed cloak rested on his shoulders, billowing behind him with a sense of weight and motion. In his raised hand, he held a sword hilt—though no blade could be seen.

Cain observed the stranger for a long moment. The vivid crimson light in his eyes flared as his perception reached its peak.

"You can read my mind," Cain remarked evenly.

The man’s eyes widened momentarily. His posture then shifted, becoming significantly more grave and formal.

"My name is Ideonus," he stated. "Will you share yours?"

"Cain Laurifer."

Cain was unaware of the man's identity or his faction. However, one thing was certain: Ideonus was formidable—and he was no Neo-Angel. If a dialogue could prevent a clash, that was the preferred path. With the looming shadow of the Ancient One, making pointless enemies was a poor strategy.

Ideonus gave a single nod before repeating his question. "Did you come with someone else?"

When Cain did not immediately respond, a glint of hostility flickered in Ideonus’s gaze.

"I need an answer."

Cain looked at the native for a beat before answering. "I can tell you—if you tell me about your people."

As soon as Cain finished speaking, Ideonus tightened his grip on the sword handle. Obsidian-colored skin raced across his arms, hardening and darkening as the coldness in his eyes turned to steel.

"Ahh..." Cain let out a soft sigh. It was evident that diplomacy had failed.

In the next breath, Sky Devourer manifested in his hand, radiating a sharp and overbearing presence. Cain’s power began to swell as his aura reached new heights.

A heavy silence hung in the air for a single second.

Then, both warriors moved.

They surged forward like bolts of lightning, meeting with explosive speed. Ideonus swung the empty hilt toward Cain’s face. No blade was visible—yet Cain noticed snowflakes being sliced perfectly in two as the weapon cut through the air.

"It's invisible," Cain realized instantly.

His gaze sharpened as he pivoted his body, sliding Sky Devourer along the edge of the unseen steel. When the weapons met, the force of the collision cleared the snow, creating a brief vacuum between them.

That was merely the opening move.

The unseen blade lashed out with increasing velocity as they tore across the terrain, each clash sending ripples of shockwaves through the air.

Ideonus exhibited masterful martial prowess, his motions fluid and exact, honed by ages of combat. He was undeniably a powerhouse. Nevertheless, Cain gradually gained the lead. His massive offensive power broke through Ideonus’s guard, and the combined influence of the Power of Chaos and the Flow disrupted Ideonus’s telepathic reading. No matter how Ideonus attempted to predict Cain’s strikes, he could not keep pace.

The invisible edge lunged for Cain’s eyes. Despite being unable to gauge its length or shape, Cain evaded at the final moment, closing the gap and counterattacking with Sky Devourer.

Ideonus jumped back, barely escaping the blade—but the tip still found its mark. A deep gash was torn into his flesh, staining the snow with blood.

A grimace appeared on Ideonus’s face as he looked at the wound. A core trait of his bloodline was an impenetrable defense, yet Cain’s weapon had carved through it effortlessly. That fact alone proved the devastating nature of Cain’s lethality.

Drawing a sharp breath, Ideonus’s heart began to thud—faster and louder. The obsidian skin spread rapidly until it covered his entire frame.

"Asura Form!" he bellowed.

In an instant, his heartbeat thundered—and his power surged exponentially.

Cain’s eyes widened in shock. Asura Form was the very first innate ability he had unlocked from his previous life, and it remained one of his most lethal techniques. Seeing it used by a native of Origin Island was a stunning revelation.

There was no luxury of time to think.

Ideonus was suddenly upon him, striking with terrifying speed and force. Cain struggled to defend, but he was forced back under the mounting pressure. A jagged wound opened across his chest, and blood began to flow.

Gritting his teeth, Cain roared, "Asura Form!"

His skin turned a deep scarlet as his blood surged with a sudden, violent power.
