The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2411 The insidious might of the Power of Chaos
Previously on The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order...
Mirena panted heavily upon her return to the Ocean of the Blood Sun, her face twisted in a deep scowl that revealed her failure to finish off Airi. Yet, the Royal Blutlinie didn't come back
with nothing.
In her hand, she clutched an item—a severed leg—that showed the pursuit hadn't been pointless.
The moment the Royal Blutlinie floated over the blood ocean again, a complex look crossed her features.
Cain's judgment had been spot on. The Aztorus Kingdom planned to exploit him and toss him aside after the war concluded—or whenever he no longer held tactical importance.
To them, he served merely as an instrument, to be handled accordingly. His thoughts, strategies, contributions—none of those mattered. But Mirena couldn't ignore the turmoil brewing inside her.
The Blood King displayed a sharpness and tactical acumen far surpassing her early assumptions. By heeding his advice, the initial grand confrontation over the Ocean of the Blood Sun between the Aztorus Kingdom and the Kalous Kingdom resulted in a resounding triumph.
Countless Prima Deities got slaughtered. Scores of
ArchDeities perished. One Alpha-Omega Overgod Royal Blutlinie met a direct end, while another—Airi—ended up maimed.
The conflict between the kingdoms had stretched beyond fifty years already, with the Aztorus Kingdom having slain a mere handful of Royal Blutlinie.
But the Blood King succeeded in claiming two—Kameron and
Kantun—and aiding in damaging yet another.
This result proved utterly remarkable.
And Mirena stood to gain hugely from it.
In the end, suggesting the Ocean of the Blood Sun as the battleground had been her notion.
"I could even claim this scheme as my strategy," she mused, a spark of excitement stirring in her heart. "When I go back, I can claim all the glory for the win."
The idea lured her—but she pushed it aside for now.
A sharp, perilous glint emerged in Mirena's gaze as she pondered the next steps in her partnership with the Blood King. Treating him solely as a throwaway asset, ignoring his real potential, would squander something invaluable.
After a quick deliberation, she gave herself a nod and dropped the cut-off leg into the blood ocean.
Though just a single limb, it came from a Middle Alpha-Omega Overgod. The life force and power packed inside it were immense, to say nothing of the innate runes carved into the tissue—
embodiments of Airi's Omens.
The Ocean of the Blood Sun responded without delay.
Crimson tides rushed up, devouring the leg in an instant.
The blood roiled fiercely until every trace vanished.
In the following moment, a figure formed of blood emerged from the ocean's top and offered a slight bow to Mirena.
"A fine morsel," it stated evenly. "Thanks."
Mirena inclined her head, locking eyes with the empty stare of the blood figure, a subtle grin appearing on her mouth.
"That's the point of being allies."
Her face turned grave soon after as she turned to a weightier issue.
"The boost you provided before," she remarked. "It proved incredibly potent. How long can you keep it up?"
The blood figure seemed to ponder briefly before answering.
"When concentrated on one individual, I can sustain it for thirty minutes. But I can spread the strength—giving the identical surge to ten people for three minutes."
Mirena's eyes grew wide.
Astonishment and eagerness ignited in them as she realized the possibilities. That power was phenomenal—a decisive edge that could supercharge key forces right when needed.
The blood figure remained impassive, though far below in the depths, Cain almost chuckled at her reaction.
Those restrictions were complete fabrications.
He had kept the boost active on Satan and Hades for hours with ease. Yet, deceit formed a crucial element of the scheme.
"As I gain more power," the blood figure went on, "the duration for the boost extends. Still, it works only inside the Ocean of the Blood Sun. Beyond my territory, I can't hold the link."
Mirena agreed at once, taking the words at face value without question.
A soul link channeling such vast might would surely prove hard to uphold. It followed that the Blood King could manage it only amid the ocean.
That too was false.
Through the Power of Chaos and the Flow, Cain could uphold a firm
bond with any being in the same universe, no matter the separation. But showing vulnerabilities and bounds was exactly what he aimed to project.
Mirena now truly appreciated the enhancement from the Ocean of the Blood
Sun.
She and Airi had battled endlessly before. Even catching her foe worn out, only the Blood King's boost let her deliver that devastating
strike.
"You expand and fortify by devouring Blutlinie and Omen Beasts," Mirena observed pensively. "Do items rich in life essence or blood ties aid you
effectively?"
The blood puppet looked pensive, yet inside Cain's essence,
a chill of delight raced.
All unfolded precisely on course.
Mirena wasn't dim by any means—quite the opposite, razor-sharp. But
the Power of Chaos worked slyly. She had let it seep in, and though she detected it no more, its mark lingered on her soul, quietly eroding her wariness and mistrust of Cain.
"They ought to assist," the blood figure answered. "Still, live entities offer the prime fuel. They spur my quickest advancement."
Mirena assented. After a short silence, she added,
"My troops will help you track down Omen Beasts. I'll also arrange for plenty of fitting treasures to arrive and support your development."
The Royal Blutlinie's outlook stayed straightforward.
The bigger and mightier the Ocean of the Blood Sun grew, the wider its domain could spread—strangling Kalous City tighter and hastening the kingdom's collapse.
