The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 58: Deus Behemoth Race and Anima Mechanicus Race

Cain sat alongside Levi and Beelze as Vice-Captain Josef entered the auditorium and reached the podium. He unleashed a fierce aura, shutting down any noise before starting with the class.

“The Godslayer Humankind is strong. Although someone like me would not dare to assume the full might of our power, you should know that a Duke controls each Sector. And there is no one with the title of Duke whose strength is beneath that of a Titan!”

Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that. A Titan was someone whose supernatural powers defied logic. They could stand on the surface of the Old World’s sun!

The Godslayer Humankind Empire controlled the Gaia Continent and had 72 Sectors, meaning there were at least 72 Titans!

‘Are we that powerful!?’ Although that information was not news for many cadets coming from Noble Families, it came as a shock for someone like Cain.

Before Cain could enjoy the feeling for long, Apex’s voice echoed inside his mind.

“Hmph, brat, you felt proud of that measly number? If I were a member of the Dark Races, I would be pleased to hear that. It would mean I need to kill 72 individuals to end your entire race.

.....

From what I have managed to gather, the population of the Godsalyer Humankind is more than forty trillion. Despite that massive population, the number that became Titans is not above one hundred. No matter how you see it, that is pathetic.”

Cain frowned and clenched his fists as he felt irritated by Apex’s words, but although he did not like it, he had to admit there was truth behind them. There was nothing to be happy about from a success rate beneath 0,000000001%.

‘Why do you tell me all this?’

“Simple, so you don’t get too complacent. There is nothing wrong with being happy at your race achievements, but only garbage blindly relies on them. You have the Absolute Life Form System fused with your soul, so only your power should matter.”

A flash of enlightenment crossed Cain’s eyes after hearing Apex’s words. Like every human, the threat of the Dark Races always loomed over his head and was a great source of inspiration to grow stronger.

However, when Cain heard there were at least 72 Titans, that pressure intuitively reduced since he knew powerful life forms were protecting the Godslayer Humankind Empire.

Luckily, Apex acted fast, or else that train of thoughts would have affected him.

‘Instead of relying on others, rely on yourself. Your power and hard work will never betray you.’ Cain’s eyes regained their sharp light. Still, he grew a little confused since he now knew Vice-Captain Josef’s words were harmful to the young cadets.

Josef solved all of Cain’s doubts the next moment.

“Yes, we have 72 Dukes, and the number of Titans might reach 100.” Josef let the cadets show a proud smile before speaking again, this time somberly. “But, the number of Dark Races’ Gods easily surpasses the 400!”

Those last words shocked everybody, even members of the Noble Families. It made sense that their elders would like to brag about the power of the Godslayer Humankind Empire but would not be so open about the power of the Dark Races.

Vice-Captain Josef was a seasoned soldier, and it was clear that his understanding of human psychology was not shallow. He would not have made the mistake of taking away a source of motivation for the cadets.

“If we were to enter a full-out war against the three Dark Races, the Godslayer Humankind would be massacred. Luckily we are not alone. Just like the Inferno Daemon Race, Legio Eldritch Race, and Atrox Immortus Race form a coalition, we have our own with the Deus Behemoth Race and Anima Mechanicus Race.”

The mood of the cadets improved once they heard that. The dread and fear of hearing that there were currently over 400 Gods clouded their minds, but now they remember the Godslayer Humankind was not alone in this war.

Vice-Captian Josef waved his hand, and the virtual screen above his head showed two groups of individuals. One was composed of humanoids with metallic bodies and blue flames in their cristal eyes, while the other was full of dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and all sorts of mythical creatures.

“I will first start with the Anima Mechanicus Race. Despite humans being biological life forms and Animas mechanical, we are considered brother races. The reason for that is that their Ancestor is related to ours.

The Godsalyer Humankind’s Ancestor is Adam, the First Titan. The Anima Mechanicus Race’s Ancestor is no other than the First Titan’s A.I. Chip, which gained sentience and a soul.

Members of the Anima Mechanicus Race can only train the Essence Evolution Path of Power, but that does not mean their bodies are weak. They reform them after every advance in their cultivation.”

Josef made it so that the virtual screen would display several videos of Animas fighting, and everybody was amazed by their abilities.

“Now, let’s talk about the Deus Behemoth Race. They have been in Aether before we even put a foot in Gaia. Some might wonder why they look similar to the Old World’s mythical creatures.”

Cain and many other cadets nodded. Dragons and phoenixes were part of the Old World’s fables, but they were supposed to be inventions of humans and not an actual race of another dimension.

“Scholars have asked themselves that question, and the best explanation was related to the power of our dreams. In a nutshell, while our bodies could not enter this dimension, we could glimpse it through our dreams. That is how the Deus Behemoth Race became part of our stories and fairy tales.”

Although that explanation had a lot to desire, the cadets knew that would be the best they would get from Vice-Captain Josef.

“The Deus Behemoth Race is extremely arrogant, but they are also direct and loath any form of deception. If a Behemoth gives you their word, you can trust they will keep it. The amount of bloodlines in their race is immense, and those born with powerful ones have an extremely high status.

When it comes to their bodies, they are incredibly gifted from birth. That is why at least 80% chose to take the Astral Rebirth Path of Power.”

After giving that brief explanation about the allies of the Godsalyer Humankind against the Dark Races, Vice-Captain Josef gave a lengthy description of the different types of battlefields and how to take advantage of each.
