The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

134 The red orb acts

There was no need to carry on, but Cain did not like to leave a job half done, so he focused on the last Level 5 Wave Warrior.

As soon as Cain focused on the woman, he noticed she was different from the others. There were scars all over her body, and her eyes released a constant sharp light as if she was always in a state of high alert.

The soldiers that took part in this test were told to put their minds in a state of relaxation, just like a person who hired a Hypnosis Master for their services would do. However, it was clear that the woman’s mind was not at peace.

Cain took a deep breath and ensured his powers were at their peak before sending his willpower toward the woman. He was able to win the clash of wills with ease.

That did not surprise Cain since his willpower was already at the First Realm and capable of fighting against even the mind powers of a Late Wave Champion. Even putting the woman in a susceptible state was not hard.

Cain frowned when he saw that everything was going so well. The woman was a Level 5 Wave Warrior, yet her mental fortitude was so weak that if Cain wanted, he could have stopped her heart with a single command.

‘No, it is not that her mental defenses are weak. They are no different than the other two, but something has weakened them. A trauma?’

Cultivation affected an individual’s willpower, which is why it was weird for soldiers above Level 3 to suffer from things like post-traumatic syndrome. Still, it was not impossible if the trauma was strong enough.

Hypnosis Masters could help people suffering from Heart Nightmares and all other forms of trauma. The most basic way would be to put the target in Embryonic Breathing.

.....

A state of deep sleep, like Embryonic Breathing, can allow your psyche to consolidate those emotional memories and make them less distressing.

“Sleep.”

The woman’s eyes twitched as she heard that command. She was susceptible enough to harm herself if Cain commanded it, but her mind was so chaotic that putting it in a state of profound relaxation was proving challenging.

Cain frowned when he saw that he could not induce Embryonic Breathing in the woman.

“Sleep.” He uttered the command again, but the woman failed to enter Embryonic Breathing.

“Ahh, poor woman.” Jack could not help but sigh as he stared at the scarred soldier.

Cain turned toward the man with a questioning gaze.

“Her name is Shara. She had applied for this type of work for over a year and finally got her chance, but I am afraid not even a 4-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master could help her.” Jack felt pity for the soldier as he understood the desire in her heart to get better.

Although the Hypnosis Master treated them as guinea pigs, the number of soldiers willing to take on this task was endless. After all, even a single session of Embryonic Breathing could help them clarify their minds, granting immense help for their cultivation.

Cain was surprised when he heard that. A 4-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master could hypnotize Level 7 Wave Warriors, yet not even they could help her.

“Could you explain to me a little about her situation? I understand that trauma can make it harder for the target to enter a state of deep sleep, but it should not be this hard. After all, I have already put her mind in a state where I have complete control over her actions.”

Jack turned toward Cain and simply shook his head.

“Tell me, how much effort do you need to break the bones of a Level 3 Wave Warrior?”

Cain found the question strange, but he answered it.

“Very little.”

“Now, how much effort and knowledge do you need to heal it?”

Jack’s words generated a flash of enlightenment in Cain’s eyes.

“Destroying something is easy, but healing it is much harder. Just because her wounds are of psychological nature, it doesn’t mean they are easier to recover. It is actually the opposite.

There is a specialization among Hypnosis Masters that focus on that type of work. They know how to reach the core of the person’s trauma and help them solve it. It is called Healing Hypnotism.

Many of them are actually Illusion Masters as well. They use illusions to bring the trauma in an individual’s mind to a visible plane, making recovery much easier. ”

Jack’s voice carried a deep respect, making it clear how much he respected those Healing Hypnotists.

Cain nodded and understood the respect in Jack’s heart. The amount of effort to become a Healing Hypnotist must be astronomical, but in a world where personal strength reigns above everything, the number of people that would take that path was very small.

“Don’t feel discouraged. Even I could not help her. Since you put two of the Level 5 Wave Warriors in Embryonic Breathing, you are officially a 2-Star Elementary Hypnosis Master.”

Jack was about to call the bureau members to bring out the soldiers from the room, but he heard Cain’s voice.

“Please wait a moment.”

Jack frowned when he heard that. He figured out that Cian wanted to keep trying, but that was not only futile, it was also cruel and dangerous.

Attempting to heal a mental trauma by force was the most stupid thing you could do. It was not impossible, but 99% of the time, the person would end up even worse.

The middle-aged man was about to negate Cain’s desire, but when he saw the determination in the young man’s eyes, he decided to give this one a chance.

“I will allow you to try one more time.” Jack’s eyes began to glow with blue light as he prepared in case anything went wrong.

Cain nodded toward Jack, and he understood the apprehensions of the middle-aged man. While obtaining a perfect score would have been nice, there was no way he would endanger a soldier’s life for that.

‘My nature is that of a hero, but up to this point, I have only killed those I saw as evil. If that is the extent of my path, then I am just a destroyer.

A true hero should also help those in need who have proven themselves worthy.’

Cain didn’t know Shara, but since she took the soldier path, he would give her his favor until she proved him wrong. His father engraved in his heart the loyalty of brotherhood, and he would march into the battlefield for every soldier fighting by his side.

‘I want to help her.’

Cain’s actualization of his heroic nature and the deep sense of loyalty and passion toward the military generate a reaction in the crimson orb inside his soul dimension.

The Alter-Ego showed a dual state that seemed capable of burning your soul to ashes or filling it with endless warmth. It had been dormant since its creation, and even now, it was impossible to harness its power directly, but Cain’s intense desire generated a reaction from it.

The crimson orb trembled for a second, inundating Cain’s Ego Matrix with a marvelous force. At that exact moment, the red in Cain’s eyes began to shine.

Jack had been focusing on Sahara and Cain all this time, ready to act in case of any danger. A sense of wonder assaulted him when he saw the radiant red light in Cain’s eyes.

There was no increase in the raw power of Cain’s Ego Wave, but its nature became so gentle and warm that Jack almost lost himself in it.

“Sleep.”

Cain uttered the same command for the third time, but things were much different this time.

Shara was in a semi-unconscious state. Everything was dark and strange whispers surrounded her, stopping her mind from achieving peace. That sensation was not foreign to her, as she found herself in it every time she went to sleep.

She came to this place hoping that someone could help her, but even after feeling a force trying to put her mind in a state of relaxation twice, she could not escape this nightmare.

“Sleep.”

The voice appeared for a third time, but Shara felt no hope. However, this time it did not come alone; along with that word, a radiant light overwhelmed the dimension!

The light destroyed the darkness and left everything in silence before unleashing a sense of warmth.

Shara turned her eyes toward the source of that warmth and peace; what she saw was the most wonderful sight in her life.

Jack’s focus on Cain’s eyes broke when he saw Shara’s face showing a state of absolute peace before falling to the ground. She did not adopt a graceful, meditative state like the other two Level 5 Wave Warriors, but that only surprised Jack even more.

‘She entered such a profound state of relaxation, despite her trauma. Incredible!’

Jack stared at Cain as if this one was a monster.

‘Are divine geniuses really that incredibly gifted!?’
