The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 399 Essence Evolution Path of Power (I)

Without hesitation, the Scarlet King opened his hand, extracting a Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber from his space ring. He then stripped Kain's body naked and sent the corpse into the chamber.

With nothing but absolute peace in his eyes, the Scarlet King used the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber to obtain a perfect copy of Kain's genome and extract from the corpse the material needed to engrave it into someone else.

Orphin and the other two Wave Kings from the Abyssal Clan could still think and see, so their eyes widened as they saw Kain's body dissolve inside the Bio Genetic Chamber, only for the man in the mask to enter it the next second.

The body with well-defined muscles began to change, becoming more slender and with skin of red color as horn emerged from his head.

After an hour, the Scarlet King emerged from the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber. He softly nodded as he realized that his appearance and genetic sequence were nearly identical to Kain's. Someone would have to dissect him and go through his genome to find any significant difference between them.

Of course, the body and genes were one aspect since anyone with powerful perception could detect the difference between Kain's willpower, which had not even reached the First Realm, and the Scarlet King's, which had already evolved into the Apotheosis Realm.

Luckily, the red metallic mask he created was not just for looks; its primary purpose was concealment. The Scarlet King's eyes glowed for a moment as the mask fused with his flesh, vanishing from sight.

The Scarlet King stored the Tier 1 Bio Genetic Chamber and wore Kain's clothes before walking to the trio with a smile.

"So, what do you think? Don't I look great?"

No words came from Orphin and the other two, but the shock and dread in their eyes made it clear just how terrified they were of the man in front of them. His behavior made it clear that all life in his eyes was meaningless.

The Scarlet King did not show any concern for the trio's fear and plight, for one simple fact: the same fact that allowed him to devour Kain's soul without any sense of guilt or shame—they were not part of his Life Matrix.

A life form that follows the Path of Order doesn't feel fear or dread; they could see the greatest horrors of the universe, and it would not shake their hearts. They could even see the loss of their entire race and keep complete control over their hearts and soul.

That would make many think that Order was the same as being a psychopath, someone without feeling. But they could not be more wrong.

Those who embrace Order have complete control over their emotions and the relationships they form. Only those they deemed worthy would become part of their Life Matrix, capable of igniting any type of emotion.

However, even after becoming part of one's Life Matrix, it did not mean they could break the one that follows Order since the bond could be easily erased.

For the Scarlet King, Kain and the trio were nothing inconsequential aspects of dust, and whatever they thought or felt was meaningless.

The Scarlet King turned to Zarius, the Wave King, who was part of Kain's escort and betrayed the young man.

"Ask me questions in a random order related to Kain's personal life."

Zarius did not have a choice other than to comply with the command and immediately began to speak.

"The name of Kain's mother?"

"Siveria Jogurn."

"Favorite food?"

"Roasted Wilderbest."

"Heat or cold?"

"Neither and both. There is no consensus."

Zarius continued to ask questions related to Kain's life, and the Scarlet King could answer them with flawless precision. The interrogatory continued for a while, and the Scarlet King was satisfied as he could relay all the knowledge related to Kain.

Knowledge was just one part of someone's identity since their demeanor and behavior could say much more about them. Still, the Scarlet King already had a way to explain any change in Kain's nature and personality, so he did not worry about it.

Right now, not even Kain's mother could differentiate between the two. But there was one final aspect to handle: Kain's cultivation. The Inferno Daemon youth was a Level 9 Wave Warrior of the Essence Evolution Path of Power.

However, the Scarlet King was ready to handle that immediately. He took a deep breath and adopted a meditative stance before taking out a high-quality Wave Crystal and sending dozens of treasures into his [Devourer Dimension]. Finally, he focused on the only Wave King of the Essence Evolution Path of Power among the trio, Orphin.

Orphin's eyes shook with fear, but he could do nothing but walk in front of the Scarlet King. His hand moved on its own, generating a deep cut on his lower abdomen, one so deep that it was visible a small organ glowing with sky-blue light.

Immediately, Oprhin's body trembled since he had his Evolution Core exposed, but things were about to get worse. He took one of the high-quality wave crystals and began to revolve their energy inside his body, transforming the Life Wave into Essence Wave at a shocking speed.

As the Evolution Core of the Wave King generated Essence Wave, the Scarlet King used his Ego Wave to take control of the energy and bring it to him.

The Scarlet King was using the Essence Wave of a Wave King as food for his own Wave Warrior's Essence Wave. Even though he needed to purify it, losing over 95% of its quantity, the 5% that remained was much faster than him directly transforming the Life Wave into Essence Wave.

That, along with the energy coming from the [Gluttony Module], was more than enough to saturate the energy needs of the Scarlet King.

Zarius and the other Wave King of the Abyssal Clan remained motionless as they watched their surroundings. There was nothing but terror in their hearts as they saw how the monster was devouring the life energy from Orphin, and there was no doubt in their hearts that their fates would not be better.
