The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2467 Half-Step Fourth Realm Body Refinement Technique

Cain encased the heart within a sphere of white fire prior to devouring Aerion's corpse, swallowing up every last piece of the infiltrator from the Soul Eternal Realm.

Following that display, a heavy silence enveloped the chamber.

The mood turned profoundly uncomfortable for the Dark Blood King and his gathered Generals.

They had planned to use Cain as a stark warning, illustrating the dire penalties for defying the Dark Blood Kingdom's hierarchy. Though the loss of a mighty fighter would sting badly, such a spectacle aimed to bolster order and cohesion in the ranks—crucial with the looming extended conflict.

Yet everything had flipped entirely.

Cain had not only cleared his name of any distrust but also seized and destroyed a hidden agent that none had spotted. Moreover, via Aerion's recollections, the Dark Blood Kingdom now possessed immense knowledge about the Soul Eternal Realm—data that would become priceless as the assault on the Eighth Realm of Paradise loomed.

For the first time in ages, the Dark Blood King felt lost on the next move.

Luckily for him, Cain was ready with a solution.

'I don't feel at ease serving alongside the other Generals of the Dark Blood Kingdom anymore,' Cain stated evenly. 'I'd like a new posting.'

In ordinary times, those words might ring as haughty or rude. But after that very crew had plotted his death mere moments ago, the plea seemed quite fair.

The Dark Blood King creased his brow faintly before shifting his eyes to General Fausto.

The draconic Royal Blutlinie let out a soft exhale and offered a subtle nod.

'What duty would you prefer?' Fausto inquired.

Cain's gaze shimmered with icy assurance as he answered.

'The identical task that the one I slew had. I wish to infiltrate the Eighth Realm and work against the Soul Eternal Kingdom.'

At once, the faces of the Dark Blood King and the Generals grew keen and alert.

Dispatching an operative into a rival realm posed a highly sensitive and perilous choice.

The peril extended beyond the agent alone, threatening the sender as well. Betrayal always lurked, with the envoy possibly turning to serve the foe.

Aerion had gained entry to the Dark Blood Realm as the ideal pick—and due to his unwavering devotion to Shakra and the Soul Eternal Kingdom, shown repeatedly.

Cain, by contrast, had shown no real allegiance to the Dark Blood Kingdom. Indeed, from the Dark Blood King's view, the Scarlet King answered solely to his own ambitions.

Also, Cain lacked any unique skill for finding pieces of the Sacred Treasures, a key strength of Aerion's.

Normally, granting such a demand would be out of the question.

Still, things shifted when facing the Soul Eternal Realm.

The Dark Blood King understood Shakra deeply.

After the events they'd just seen, Cain defecting seemed utterly impossible. Should the Scarlet King emerge in the Soul Eternal Kingdom's lands, they would strike to end him without delay.

No route to treachery existed.

The Dark Blood King looked to General Fausto once more. The other returned the look and nodded gravely.

Teaming up with the Scarlet King proved unfeasible. Compelling unity would merely heighten strife and disorder in the leadership.

Executing him fared even poorer now. Cain had delivered a major boon to the realm by nabbing Aerion and unlocking vital secrets. Slaying him right after would demoralize the forces horribly.

All things considered, thrusting him into the Soul Eternal Realm offered the soundest path.

Should the Scarlet King fail to snag any Sacred Treasure shards, he could still wreak havoc without doubt.

It resembled unleashing a ferocious tiger amid a wolf herd.

The tiger could perish.

But it would drag numerous wolves to their doom alongside.

After brief deliberation, the Dark Blood King agreed with a nod.

'That's fine. You'll venture into the Soul Eternal Realm. Your objective: seek out Sacred Treasures where feasible and slay as many foes as possible.'

He halted, then shut his eyes, reaching his senses beyond as

his thoughts synced with the flux of Paradise's laws and divides.

Seconds passed before he went on.

'In three months and fourteen days, I'll create a gateway for you.'

A faint grin curved Cain's lips as he inclined his head.

Authentic delight filled him. Departing the Dark Blood Realm had long factored into his grand scheme.

The wait made perfect sense. Paradise's realm barriers stood incredibly tough. Not even those wielding Fourth Realm might could breach them at will. Better to bide time until the boundaries thinned on their own.

The gathering ought to conclude there.

Yet Cain never let chances slip. Before the Dark Blood King could end the session, he interjected

once more.

'And the rewards for this deed?' Cain queried steadily. 'I don't remember the payout for uncovering a spy and taking him alive for questioning.'

The Dark Blood King fixed him with a stare briefly before heaving a sigh.

No such prize existed in the system. He'd never foreseen anyone pulling off this feat—least of all so soon in the strife.

'What reward do you seek?' the king pressed.

Cain's grin grew a touch broader, and now he made no effort to conceal

his contentment.

'With me lurking in hostile lands where all will hunt me, I must keep ahead,' he explained. 'That demands swiftness.'

The Dark Blood King required no elaboration.

He grasped precisely what Cain desired.

The prize came at a steep cost. A very steep one.

But weighing the tactical worth of the intel Cain supplied—and the hazardous task ahead—it balanced out.

After a quick ponder, the Dark Blood King assented with a nod.

'The Half-Step Fourth Realm Body Refinement Technique—Apollo's Speed—shall reach you.'
