Chapter 609: The upper echelon of Ocean Wrath
Eon's cultivation was nearing the Peak Divine Ascension Realm, and if he wished to advance beyond that, he would need to venture into the Astral Sea and reach for the stars.
Once that happened, a new emperor would arise. If the Scarlet Inquisition Force succeeded in annihilating all Tier 0 Dark Factions, then the Scarlet King would emerge as the frontrunner for the emperor title.
Eon and Wanton exchanged solemn expressions as they pondered the ramifications of what might happen if such a future came to pass.
"Civil war," Eon uttered those two words, and Wanton nodded. Normally, choosing the emperor of a race was notmplicated as the strongest one would rise above all others. Maybe they were not the best at ruling, but they were the ones whould establish order in an empire with hundreds of entities capable of leveling entire Sectors in a fit of rage.
If people were not happy with how things worked, then bad luck, as this was a world where might makes right.
However, things were different when it came to Cain. By all definitions, he was a monstrous talent beyond measure, and there was no doubt in the duo's mind that he would reach the might of a True Titan before the time Eon ventured into the stars.
Yet, even if the Scarlet King was the strongest entity in the Deus Behemoth Empire, he was a Godslayer Human, and there would be many who would not be happy with it. If enough of the Noble Families and Great Bloodlines opposed Cain's reign, there was a good chance a civil waruld arise, dividing the empire in two.
Eon frowned, regretting not foreseeing this sooner, but now that everything was in motion, it was too late to stop this freight train.
"What should we do?"
Wanton adopted a solemn expression upon hearing the question from the Emperor of the Deus Behemoth Empire.
