The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 208 New Wave Champion



208  New Wave Champion

"How it went?"

Cain did not waste time, and once he and the Vice-Captains reached the center of command, he ordered a detailed description along with video footage of the ambush.

Antony and the other Vice-Captain nodded and gave their report while sending video files through their A.I. Chips. Cain focused on the words of the Vice-Captains and ordered the Absolute Life Form System to analyze the videos and give him a detailed analysis. Once he studied everything, a small smile appeared as he sighed.

"Good. Since the damage was so immense, it doesn't matter if there is no infight between the surviving Early Wave Champion Beasts."

The Vice-Captains were a little confused by those words, but after a moment, the smartest were able to understand it and turned toward Antony. The Level 9 Essence Wave Cultivator also deciphered Cain's words, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Cain refrained from commanding them to pursue the Lightning-Fall Mantis due to its vulnerable condition, making it incapable of defending itself against the Early Wave Champion Beasts. Moreover, as only one of them could consume it, there was a high likelihood of conflicts arising among the beasts.

"There is no need to mourn over the past. You made a mistake and should learn from it. I am not angry, but it will take a lot for me to trust you again like I did before."

Antony clenched his fists as he raised his head and looked directly at Cain with eyes full of determination.

"I will prove my worth and regain my honor."

Cain did not care about words, but a flash of surprise appeared on his face as he saw a blue light appear in Antony's eyes for a second before vanishing.

"Your willpower just rose to the Wave Champion Level. Very good. I will give you a chance to prove your words in the near future."

Although for someone like Cain with willpower nearing the limit of the Early Wave King Rank, Wave Champion level was negligible, it was a great achievement for Antony. There was a chance the Level 9 Wave Warrior could awaken his Ego Eternal Matrix at the Early Wave Champion Rank, granting his Ego Eternal Path of Power a critical role in his battle power.

Antony smiled as he heard that. The chance to fix his mistake was something he was eager to obtain. As for his willpower, while he knew about the existence of the Ego Eternal Path of Power, that was where his knowledge about the path ended.

Cain noticed the oblivious nature of the Vice-Captains about the Ego Eternal Path of Power but did not bother to correct them. They only needed to focus on pushing themselves to the limit, and they would gain their reward in due time.

"We will rest for the day and march at the first sign of sunlight. There is a chance to completely obliterate the wounded horde in tomorrow's march, and we should give our all to achieve that."

After that, Cain used his Ego Wave to put the Vice-Captains in Embryonic Breathing except for Antony. Cain told Antony that his hypnosis would not work on someone with the mental defenses of a Wave Champion.

Antony showed an annoyed expression as he heard that, blaming his bad luck, but he could do nothing about it. Luckily, he was already extremely close to achieving his cultivation goal regarding Law Comprehension, so there was no problem.

Cain returned to his tent and was ready to enter Embryonic Breathing and cultivate when he saw several messages reach his [A.I. Chip Module]. The ones trying to contact him were none other than Harol and Jack, two of the Vice-Captains of Uriel's group.

[We were supposed to be in a silent partnership, but now Uriel no longer trusts me! Not to mention that you dare to hypnotize me!]

[You did not even bother to accept my propositions, yet you have the gall to use your hypnosis powers on me! No matter how strong you are, you can not do this to a fellow Vice-Captain!]

Cain read those messages, and scorn appeared on his face. The truth was that the four Vice-Captains on Uriel's side had attempted to contact him and offered all sorts of deals, but the main idea behind them was that they would work as spies for him.

It was clear to Cain that they wanted to work for both sides and wait for a winner to rise before deciding who to follow. Only a fool would trust people like that, and he could only use them as disposable pawns, so the fact they were angry did not matter to him.

"Apex, please handle them. You can use costly rewards to calm them if it helps. They are garbage, but I still have use for them, so keep them on the hook."

"What a boring task, but since it will only take me ten minutes, I will do it." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Cain nodded at the System Spirit and focused on his cultivation. He could easily handle those four but did not want to sour his mood by arguing with traitorous rats.

The next day, the entire military force marched into the forest, ready to slaughter. A day was far from enough to allow the horde to heal from their wounds, and the soldiers were like a tsunami, obliterating everything in their path.

William rejoining the military force, plus Antony's enhanced willpower and Cain's Blood Index were enough for the combined power of the Vice-Captains to kill all the wounded Early Wave Champion Beasts.

The military force gained momentum after that major victory, and in the days that followed, they eliminated anything that got in their way.

Nine days after the demise of the Lightning-Fall Mantis, just as the soldiers were in battle formation, ready to march into the forest, a burst of Essence Wave emerged from one of the tents along with a shining light.

The Vice-Captains turned to the tent, and they all knew that Antony was rising to the Wave Champion Rank!
