The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2412 Crown Prince of the Kalous Kingdom

Previously on The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order...
Mirena returned to the Ocean of the Blood Sun with Airi's severed leg in hand, her failure to kill the rival tempered by the crippling blow she had inflicted. Grappling with her kingdom's intent to discard the Blood King as a mere tool, she acknowledged his unparalleled strategic genius, which had secured a devastating victory over the Kalous Kingdom—forces slaughtering thousands of Prima Deities and ArchDeities while felling two Royal Blutlinie and maiming another. She fed the limb to the ocean, where a blood humanoid emerged to discuss the limits of its powerful enhancements, revealing their potential as a battlefield trump card. Recognizing the ocean's growth through consumed vitality, Mirena pledged her forces to hunt Omen Beasts and supply vital treasures, aiming to expand its dominion and hasten the enemy's collapse.

"BOOM!"

The enormous structure quivered when a Royal Blutlinie possessing keen eyes and flowing white hair smashed his fist down on the table in front of him. Fractures raced over the top as his immense aura exploded outward, weighing heavily on all those gathered inside.

Gargamesh was his name, serving as the Warmaster of the Kalous Kingdom.

Though he wasn't the mightiest Royal Blutlinie or the most gifted in cultivation, everyone recognized him as the sharpest tactical genius the kingdom had ever seen. That fame by itself secured his role.

Over many years, his cunning plots and war tactics had enabled the Kalous Kingdom to endure against the much more powerful Aztorus Kingdom. Time after time, he transformed hopeless situations into grueling triumphs, safeguarding their frontiers with intellect instead of raw might.

However, at this moment, all his meticulously crafted strategies were falling apart.

A holographic projection floated in the air ahead of him, displaying a vast red ocean—throbbing and swelling rapidly in a terrifying manner.

The Ocean of the Blood Sun.

"How is it expanding so quickly?" Gargamesh snarled, his tone thick with barely contained anger. "It has grown by twenty-five percent in mere two months. If this pace continues, it will arrive at the outer defense line of our capital within under a year!"

A thick quiet descended upon the chamber.

As the harsh truth weighed on the gathered Royal Blutlinie, Gargamesh's gaze grew even icier. With measured intent, he directed his stare at a woman positioned at the room's distant side.

Airi.

"Had you held back for my cue," he stated coldly, "had you confirmed the reports before charging ahead, we wouldn't face this mess. Now we're short on forces to guard the northern frontier and mount a real strike on the Ocean of the Blood Sun."

Airi's hands balled into tight fists, fury and exasperation blazing in her heart.

Her blunder had already exacted a steep toll. Rebuilding her severed arm and leg had drained almost all her wealth, and she remained well below her full strength even today. The burden of her errors crushed her spirit.

Ultimately, she could merely bow her head without a word.

"Hmph."

Gargamesh huffed in contempt and looked elsewhere, refusing her further attention. His focus snapped back to the strategic display suspended before him, thoughts whirling frantically as he hunted for any workable strategy.

Still, regardless of his scrutiny, no answer emerged.

Shifting troops from the northern front to assault the Ocean of the Blood Sun would invite the Aztorus Kingdom to seize the gap and assault the capital straightaway.

Yet permitting the blood sea to keep growing without restraint...

Would soon submerge the Kalous Kingdom in red waves.

"RUMBLE!"

Suddenly, the whole fortress jolted fiercely.

The abrupt quake surprised them all. Gargamesh's eyes sharpened as he and the rest hurried out, their faces stiffening instantly upon glancing skyward.

A gigantic dragon-like form hovered above.

An Omen Beast—and far from an ordinary one.

Its elongated neck twisted amid the clouds, scales shining like godly alloy. Vast plasma wings unfurled at its back, glowing with an intensity akin to a small star.

"A late Alpha-Omega Overgod Omen Beast!" Gargamesh yelled in alarm. "How could a creature like this slip past our borders undetected?!"

His jaws ground together as he unleashed his aura, energy bursting wildly around him. The remaining Royal Blutlinie mirrored him, bracing for combat.

For Royal Blutlinie—a elite lineage—even an Omen Beast approaching the summit of the Alpha-Omega Overgod Rank spelled doom that could wipe out whole realms.

But right as the atmosphere crackled with hostile energy, a lively, commanding voice rang out from the creature's summit.

"Hahaha! Everyone, relax."

The strain halted abruptly.

Moments later, a figure advanced, poised steadily on the Omen Beast's crown.

Tall and solidly built yet trim, with wild hair and an aura of easy assurance. Elaborate tattoos adorned his form—resembling Airi's, but vastly more advanced and forceful.

"Crown Prince!" Gargamesh burst out, shock and elation mixing in his words. "You've come back!"

"Naturally," the man answered with a broad smile. "With news of the kingdom's plight reaching me, how could I remain distant? And I've brought company." While saying this, two additional Royal Blutlinie materialized next to him.

One stood as a hulking brute, his physique layered entirely in bulging muscles. Scars riddled his bulk—but these weren't from fights, rather exact cuts from intentional enhancements.

The other featured a woman with icy, haughty eyes. A bony lance protruded from her tail's tip, her vibe keen and hunter-like.

Gargamesh's eyes bulged as he felt their power. Thrill coursed through him.

"These allies hail from the Dark Blood Kingdom," the Crown Prince explained evenly. "They've arrived to support us through this turmoil."

Upon hearing that, a whirlwind of feelings churned inside Airi.

The Dark Blood Kingdom.

The mightiest and broadest domain across the whole world. A force exceeding the Kalous Kingdom by over fivefold.

For every Royal Blutlinie, honing skills in the Dark Blood Kingdom represented an unattainable aspiration. Their assets brimmed with the world's core vitality, and tales spoke of methods that could shatter the limits of the Third Realm. Even Airi—having attained the Middle Alpha-Omega Overgod Rank—had lacked the aptitude to earn an

invitation.

The sole cause of the Crown Prince's entry stemmed from the

potency of his Ancestor Power.

A flicker of jealousy sparked in Airi's core—but she stamped it out at once.

Advancing, she dipped into a profound bow.

"Elder Brother," she uttered with deference. "I am overjoyed at your homecoming. With your assistance, I believe we can reverse our fortunes and ultimately

repel the Aztorus Kingdom."

The Crown Prince faced her, a profound contentment swelling in his chest as he observed her prostration.

"Certainly," he replied steadily. "Starting now—everything shifts."
