The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2336 The Eternity Gate and the Scarlet Throne

Meylin was never one to let potential resources go to waste. As soon as the need for paralysis ended, her blades began to feast, draining the life essence and vital energy from the fallen Neo-Angel.

A look of contentment crossed her features as she cancelled her Redemption Incarnation. She channeled the stolen power of her foe to replenish her own reserves and accelerate her cultivation. Turning her gaze alongside the Enlightened One, she focused on the source of that sudden, massive energy surge that had just vibrated through the very laws of reality.

"That was Cain's Power of Chaos, right?" the Enlightened One inquired.

Meylin’s brow furrowed slightly at his words. While the energy had initially seemed identical, a more rigorous analysis revealed subtle inconsistencies to her senses.

"It is similar," she answered after a moment of reflection, "but something feels different. Furthermore, its potency appeared far greater."

The Enlightened One nodded, respecting the judgment of the True Depravita of Origin Sin.

"He might have achieved a breakthrough, causing his ability to evolve," he suggested. "Additionally, the laws and environmental rules here differ from the rest of the Crimson World. That alone could account for the discrepancy."

While Meylin acknowledged the logic of his theory, a lingering sense of doubt remained in her heart.

"Let's move."

Once Meylin had finished consuming every scrap of vitality from the Neo-Angel’s remains, she and the Enlightened One pressed forward. Utilizing the power of the Flow, they sensed the island's center with growing precision. The energy congregating there was unlike anything they had ever felt—it was thick, ancient, and possessed an authority that weighed heavily upon their very souls.

The pair could not have anticipated the sheer majesty of the Eternity Gate belonging to the King of the Crimson World.

"ARGHHHH!"

A cry of pure agony rang out across the peaks as Cain’s blade tore through the chest of a Neo-Angel archer. This was Auri. Despite being only an Early Alpha-Omega Overgod, her tactical control over the battlefield made her a terrifying opponent.

Every projectile she launched was capable of continuous teleportation, rendering their paths impossible to anticipate. She could even swap places with her arrows, masking her presence so perfectly that only the Power of Chaos could track her position. Cain had been locked in combat with her for over an hour before he finally secured an opening.

Realizing this might be his only shot, Cain channeled his full strength into the blow, nearly cutting her in half.

But as he moved to strike her head and induce paralysis, Auri’s eyes flashed with light. Her physical form detonated into hundreds of blood droplets, which flew off in every direction.

Cain’s expression darkened.

While he could incinerate every drop by unleashing the full extent of the Power of Chaos, the cost of doing so would be reckless.

"She is too badly hurt to return to the fight soon. The backlash isn't worth it."

Accepting her escape, he nodded to himself and focused on stabilizing his own wounds. Without lingering, Cain continued his journey.

A dangerous glint flickered in his eyes as he thought back to the ripple that had vibrated through the Matrix of Origin Island. It was a deeply unsettling occurrence. Cain found it impossible to understand how another person could have triggered such an event.

Excluding himself—and the mysterious entity that had seized his body during the battle against Dark Sky and the Root—he believed this was a power no one else was permitted to wield.

"Idle guessing won't help me." Pushing his concerns aside, he advanced.

Before long, the intensity and weight of the energy became so palpable that Cain didn't even need the Flow or the Power of Chaos to know he had reached the island's heart. However, a look of confusion crossed his face as he surveyed the area. A vast prairie lay before him, filled with golden wheat swaying in the breeze. In the center sat a massive, nine-tiered pyramid.

Cain frowned.

It defied logic.

His instincts told him this was undoubtedly the core of the island. The laws and energy radiating from this spot were the most potent he had encountered, yet the area was empty—there were no sentinels, no protective arrays, and no hidden fortresses.

Maintaining his guard, Cain approached the pyramid.

The moment his foot touched the first step, his eyes snapped wide.

He stopped dead in his tracks.

It felt as if the collective laws and total energy of the First Realm of the Crimson World had suddenly manifested in front of him. The sheer force hit him instantly, nearly crushing his soul. For a split second, his mind wavered under the incredible pressure.

Then, he began to adjust.

This sensation was not entirely foreign.

When he had previously merged the landmass of the First Realm, its inherent powers had flowed into his soul and body. While the insights offered by this step were significantly more profound, the intensity was something he had survived before.

Taking a deep breath, Cain sat on the step, allowing the vast knowledge and cosmic insights to etch themselves into his mind, soul, and physical form.

Time slipped away.

An hour passed before the insights were fully integrated. The secrets and wonders of the First Realm became a part of Cain’s very being.

Naturally, since these were insights rather than raw energy, his cultivation level didn't spike. However, his True Name was nourished, and his foundation became significantly more robust.

Furthermore, these revelations pushed the fusion of the Blue Matrix within his Neo-Demon Core forward, bringing it closer to a state of transcendental evolution.

These were monumental shifts, yet Cain forced himself to stay focused.

Because after he finished the first step, the summit of the pyramid was no longer vacant.

A gargantuan red gate now stood at the top.

It rose above the landscape, majestic and terrifying, emitting an aura of pure awe. It felt as though whatever existed on the other side contained power and mysteries that transcended all logic.

Even more startling was the internal reaction Cain experienced.

His Scarlet Throne shook violently for a moment, vibrating in perfect resonance with the Eternity Gate of the King of the Crimson World.
