The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order Chapter 2696: The birth of Omega Horizon

"Scarlet Sovereign Charge!"

The Scarlet King charged forward, his entire figure transforming into a spear of dark scarlet flames that crossed the void at unimaginable speed. Tyranus Gungnir sat at the front of his body, its massive blade blazing with the combined power of Cain, the Emperor of Conquest, and the collective willpower of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe.

The scarlet spear crashed head-on into the incoming cannon of dark purple plasma.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire universe seemed to freeze.

For an instant, there was no sound.

No movement.

No light.

It was as though the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe itself had become incapable of processing what was happening. The collision contained such an incomprehensible amount of energy and such advanced Laws that reality itself seemed to require a moment to understand the phenomenon taking place within its boundaries.

Then the silence shattered.

"BOOOOOOOOOOM!"

A tremendous blast erupted from the battlefield.

The sound propagated across the entire Nine Empyrean Suns Universe, reaching every world and every corner of existence like the thunder that announces an incoming storm. It was not merely a sound carried through space. It was an event that resonated through the Laws of the universe itself, allowing its presence to reach places that should have been impossibly distant from the battlefield.

Men, women, children, beasts, monsters, cultivators, and every other form of life turned toward the origin of the clash.

Some understood what was happening.

Most did not.

Yet all of them instinctively felt the same thing.

Something had happened that could determine whether their universe continued to exist.

Within the Fallen Empyrean World, the warriors of the Six Sacred Races and the Curse Eaters alike raised their heads toward the distant battlefield. None of them dared to blink.

The sight before them was simply too magnificent.

Two forces were colliding in the void, and the scale of that confrontation surpassed everything they had ever imagined Fourth Realm life forms could achieve. Even the most powerful warriors among them struggled to comprehend the scene. Their minds could recognize the individual attacks, but understanding the true magnitude of the forces contained within them was another matter entirely.

The dark scarlet spear continued pressing forward.

The purple cannon resisted.

Neither side yielded.

Everywhere around them, waves of destructive energy erupted, consuming everything that came within their reach. The matrix of the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe completely collapsed in the surrounding region, its countless formations and defensive structures unable to withstand the aftermath of the collision.

Even the universe itself began to suffer.

Space shattered.

Laws were torn apart.

The very foundation that maintained reality trembled under the pressure.

Yet none of that mattered to the Scarlet King or the Incarnation of the Samsara Lord.

Everything else had ceased to exist within their perception.

There was only the enemy before them.

There was only their attack.

And there was only one truth that mattered.

The one who won this confrontation would be the victor.

"ARGHHHH!"

Cain roared as every ounce of his strength flowed into Tyranus Gungnir. His muscles strained, his soul trembled, and the Asura Halo within his heart burned brighter than ever before. He poured all of his rage, determination, and battle will into the halberd, feeding the weapon with everything he possessed.

The scarlet spear pushed forward.

The purple cannon began to retreat.

The Incarnation of the Samsara Lord’s expression finally distorted.

For the first time during the entire battle, something resembling desperation appeared within its eyes.

The countless clashes with Cain had changed the Incarnation.

It had never possessed a true ego. It was merely an echo of the Samsara Lord, a vessel carrying a fragment of his ancient battle will. Yet after fighting Cain for so long, something had begun to awaken within it.

A whisper of self-consciousness.

It was not enough to create a true ego.

But it was enough to desire victory.

Enough to refuse death.

"AGGRHHHH!"

The Incarnation released a roar.

It was the first time it had truly screamed during the battle.

Its body began to deteriorate as it sacrificed more and more of its remaining existence, feeding everything into Samsara End.

The dark purple cannon grew even more powerful.

The momentum of Cain’s attack began to slow.

Cain clenched his teeth.

The force pushing against him was gradually becoming stronger, threatening to reverse the momentum and send him flying backward.

He could not allow it. If he was defeated in this clash, not only would his body be destroyed,m but the cannon would trigger a cataclysmic event in the universe, maybe collapsing it and killing everybody in it.

But there was a problem.

There was no more power to draw upon.

Every Fourth Realm Force within his body and soul had been exhausted. His physical strength was nearing its limit, while the enormous energy flowing through the Asura Halo was already being consumed faster than his body could withstand.

His mind burned as he desperately searched for an answer.

Nothing came.

The scarlet spear slowed.

The purple cannon began pushing forward again.

The end was approaching.

Then, in that moment of absolute hopelessness, a familiar voice echoed within Cain’s mind.

"Give it a name."

Cain’s eyes widened.

Apex.

"A Fourth Realm Force, especially one that has acted as the catalyst for your entire life, must have a name."

Apex’s voice grew stronger, carrying an intensity Cain had rarely heard from him.

"Declare your path. Declare your title. Give it a name that can reach all the way to the Tower at the center of the Multiverse!"

Those words echoed through the deepest parts of Cain’s soul.

Then images began flashing through his mind.

The boy who had once trained alone in a small forest.

The boy who had killed for the first time and received a mysterious System.

The boy who faced an invasion from enemies of another continent and lost his first love.

The young man forced into an impossible choice before facing a monster born from blood.

The young man who rose to fame within an enemy kingdom.

The warrior who joined the Six Sacred Races and fought against invaders from another world.

The Scarlet King who challenged countless enemies.

The Primordial who walked through endless tribulations.

The Neo-Demon born in a different universe.

Every battle.

Every loss.

Every victory.

Every moment of despair.

Every moment of joy.

Every choice he had made.

Every person who had shaped him.

All of it had led him here.

The frustration and rage slowly disappeared from Cain’s face.

They were replaced by serenity.

He finally understood.

This was not merely another technique.

It was not merely another attack.

It was the culmination of his entire path.

Cain opened his mouth.

Two simple words escaped his lips.

"Omega Horizon."

The instant those words emerged, the eye in Cain’s forehead trembled.

Something invisible seemed to shatter within the deepest part of his existence.

"CRACK!"

An invisible chain had been broken.

The power within the black eye surged.

The spear of scarlet flames suddenly collapsed.

But it did not disappear.

It transformed.

The flames gathered together, twisting and expanding until they formed the enormous silhouette of a dark, flaming phoenix.

"SKRIIIIIIII!"

The phoenix released a thunderous cry as it spread its enormous wings.

Then it moved.

It did not crash against the purple cannon.

It did not overpower it.

It erased it.

The massive Samsara End cannon simply began disappearing beneath the phoenix’s flames, its energy, Laws, and destructive power being stripped from existence as though they had never been there.

The eyes of the Incarnation of the Samsara Lord widened.

For the first time, genuine disbelief appeared within them.

Its final attack was being erased.

"ZNNNN—"

Before the Incarnation could even process the overwhelming might before it, a strange sound echoed through the void.

A thin line appeared across its body.

From the top of its head...

Down to its waist.

The Incarnation trembled.

Slowly, it turned around.

Standing directly before it was the Scarlet King.

Cain’s entire figure was bathed in a darkness that seemed capable of enduring all existence and all meaning, pushing reality toward a point from which nothing could return, where even the concept of Samsara ceased to exist!

Then, all of a sudden, a light appeared within the eyes of the Incarnation.

It was not the light of an attack.

It was the light of an ego.

An ego that had traversed an unfathomable distance to reach this moment!

The strange light jolted Cain’s mind, forcing him to turn around.

A smile appeared on the Incarnation’s face.

"Well done, boy. I hope we see each other again."

Those were the final words spoken by the Incarnation of the Samsara Lord.

Its figure suddenly split in two.

Then, in the very next instant, both halves erupted into dark flames, consuming what remained of its existence and leaving nothing behind.

Cain had heard that voice before, and knew that it belonged to no other than the Samsara Lord. Only once the victor had been decided did the almighty figure appear.
