The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order-Chapter 499: Good news and bad news (I)

Before Desmond could trigger the technique, he heard his father’s voice and couldn’t help but frown.

"Father, why are you interfering?"

Desmond knew that triggering Asura Form’s Third Gear would wound his internal organs, but he was willing to endure it, not to mention that the damage would be only temporary, and he would heal in a couple of hours.

Lord Zanginis just shook his head as he saw that even now, his son did not understand why he stopped the fight and pointed at the space behind this one.

When the young man turned, his eyes widened as he saw a massive demonic dragon ready to lunge toward him with its jaws open.

There was nothing Desmond could have done to stop the beast from swallowing him whole.

"How!?"

Desmond’s shock was understandable since he had not felt the creature’s presence at all. Even now, it was hidden from his Ego Wave, and he could only see it with his eyes.

"That young man’s mastery over the Law of Darkness was high enough to hide the fluctuations of his energy, and you were too focused on what was ahead of you, leaving you open to an attack from behind."

Lord Zanginis’s face was stern as he spoke, ensuring his son would engrave his words. A mistake like that in combat between friends only meant a loss, but it could be fatal on a battlefield.

Desmond was impulsive but not a fool and nodded to his father before turning to Cain and deactivating his spells as a complicated expression appeared on his face.

"You had to recultivate from zero, yet the distance between our power grew even larger. You are truly a monster of our generation."

Lord Zanginis and Kouto couldn’t help but nod as they heard the young member of the Clan. To have been forced to start from zero and show even more remarkable talent in this new path, what other word but ’monster’ could define that sort of achievement?

"Although it was in rough condition once I left Gaia, I found several lucky chances during the last year. I am sure your power will also continue to rise in the near future."

Cain said that but did not offer more explanation, nor did the trio ask for more, as it would be considered a breach of someone’s privacy to question them about their cultivation and secrets.

"I am sure the young man is hungry. Let’s head to the castle and have ourselves a feast."

Lord Zanginis spoke with a smile, and the other three nodded as they flew toward the castle at the volcano’s base. As Cain got closer to the massive natural structure, his eyes widened as he realized that the volcano was not filled with lava as one would expect but with extremely dense and scorching blood.

"Impressive, isn’t it? It is said that the first Emperor born of our Clan created this Blood Volcano before leaving for the Astral Sea so our people would constantly have a source of energy nurturing their bloodlines and Lineages."

Cain nodded as he heard Desmond’s words. Indeed, a structure like the Blood Volcano would work wonders for any race living around it, especially if their bloodline was connected to the power of blood, as with the Zanginis Clan.

It didn’t take long for the four to reach the castle. As soon as they stepped inside, Lord Zanginis’s voice echoed like thunder.

"Everybody! Gather and meet our new friend. It’s time for a feast!"

Those words spread across the city, and several figures flashed into the castle. Some were young, and some were old, but all shared a common powerful bloodline vibrant with vitality that kept growing stronger as it absorbed the radiation flooding the environment.

The group immediately headed to a massive dining room, and Cain observed all sorts of people gathering as food was served.

As expected, Lord Zanginis took the head, and several beautiful women were placed to his right. By their appearance, refined aura, and the way they behaved around the man, it was clear they were his wives, seven in total.

Facing Lord Zanginis’ wives were his children, a total of fourteen.

The old man gestured for Cain to sit at the rear of the table facing him, which he did. And just as everyone took their spots, food had filled the table.

"Let’s eat!"

Instead of uttering a few words or displaying some regal table manners, Lord Zanginis shouted, and everyone began to consume the meals. Although they did not act like savages, neither did they show overly formal etiquette typical of high noble families.

Cain didn’t mind the difference in the social behavior of the Deus Behemoth Race and began to consume the food. Just the first bite was enough to shock him since not only was the food delicious, but it was also overflowing with energy that spread across every cell of his body.

For a piece of meat to have that effect on someone like Cain, whose flesh and blood had been refined over and over again, the only type of beast it could have come from was a Divine Beast. Those are Wave Beasts usually found in the Endless Ocean and whose power could defy Divine Ascension Masters.

Not wasting time with words when it was clear that no one at the table was in the mood for talk, the Scarlet King began to consume the flesh of the Divine Beast, and more and more energy flooded his flesh and blood.

It took nearly two hours for all the food to vanish from the table, and only then did Lord Zanginis look at Cain and speak.

"By what I have heard, you are trying to find a way back to the Gaia Continent."

Cain immediately focused on the old man as he heard those words. As the Patriarch of one of the Ten Great Bloodlines, Zanginis should have the means necessary to perform a feat like securing an intercontinental teleportation formation.

"That is right."

"Then I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you will not be allowed to use the intercontinental teleportation formation."
