Phoenix Queen Ignara’s pupils snapped tight.
Even she clearly hadn’t expected him to suppress her Eternal Fla that easily.
But she didn’t back off.
The next second—
The power inside her surged again.
Rumble—!
An ocean of Eternal Fla erupted from her body.
This ti, what appeared in the sky wasn’t a phantom phoenix.
It was sothing bigger. Stranger. A towering, ominous outline made of fire.
That silhouette was pure Eternal Fla—utterly clean, not a trace of impurity.
The instant it ford, the surrounding space began collapsing in wide swaths. The heat was so insane it scorched parts of the void itself into hollowed-out cavities.
Behind Phoenix Queen Ignara, the sky completely transford into a world of fla.
When the golden man saw it, his expression finally shifted.
He obviously hadn’t expected her to release Eternal Fla this pure.
He raised his palm at once.
Massive amounts of energy rushed into his hand.
Boom!
The heavens shook.
That power rapidly took shape as the phantom of a colossal mountain, pressing straight down against the Eternal Fla.
The mont the two forces collided—
The Eternal Fla rolled upward in a violent surge, spreading crazily along the mountain’s surface. Scarlet-gold fire swallowed the entire mass in seconds, wrapping the whole "mountain" in a blazing shell.
A lot of the Erald Castle warriors watching lit up, excitent flashing in their eyes.
But just when everyone thought Phoenix Queen Ignara had the upper hand—
From the mountain’s core,
a bizarre humming sound suddenly rang out.
Hmmm—!
The next instant—
An even more overbearing energy detonated.
BOOM!!!
The scarlet-gold flas were forcibly blasted apart from the inside.
Countless streams of Eternal Fla scattered like shards of light, spraying in every direction as nearby space fractured again and again. anwhile, the mountain phantom—still carrying its remaining power—kept grinding forward.
Then—
The golden man stepped ahead, slow and deliberate.
He lifted his palm.
And gave a casual, almost gentle push toward where Phoenix Queen Ignara stood.
In an instant,
it was like heaven and earth had received an order.
Space itself, the energy of the void, and the power of that golden world all started collapsing inward at the sa ti—compressing toward the center in a crushing tide, bearing down on Phoenix Queen Ignara from every direction.
Layer after layer of space folded shut.
It didn’t take long.
She was locked inside it, wrapped tight in the middle.
Ethan’s pupils contracted hard when he saw Phoenix Queen Ignara being forced back by that golden power.
The light above the battlefield had already turned into chaos. Phoenix fire churned high overhead, and the lingering shadow of a golden giant pressed beneath the cloud layer. Every ti the two forces slamd into each other, the surrounding space buckled—ripples spreading outward, visible to the naked eye.
Ignara’s flas were still ferocious, but the space around her was being compressed bit by bit. The edges of her fiery wings kept getting torn open by golden light—only for the Eternal Fla to stitch them back together a heartbeat later.
Ethan could see it clearly.
If this kept going, Phoenix Queen Ignara was going to get dragged into a dead end sooner or later.
But he couldn’t go to her.
His body was pinned in midair. In front of him was that raging void-world, and behind him was the world energy he’d forcefully drawn out.
The two forces kept tearing at each other across his body, like two skies about to slam together. If he loosened up even a little, the entire battlefield could get ripped open by warped space.
Ethan’s knuckles were white with strain. Transparent energy spread out from his palms in layers, barely holding back the void-world’s continued squeeze into reality.
Every tremor that ca through hit him in the chest like a hamr. His breathing stuttered, and a rusty, tallic taste rose in his throat.
For the first ti in this fight, he felt truly helpless.
Then the temperature in the air dropped.
Not normal cold—sothing that seeped out from deep inside space itself.
The rolling firelight was pressed down. The scattered sparks of energy hanging over the battlefield slowed in midair, like an invisible sheet of ice had wrapped around them.
In the next heartbeat, extre frost power spread from the distance—running along the sky, the cloud layer, and even the shattered seams of space—until it swallowed the entire world in its reach.
Queen Elowen erged from the ice fog.
She didn’t strike right away. She lifted her eyes to the golden man instead. Beneath her feet, frost ford ring after ring of transparent patterns. Each ring expanded outward, and every ti it did, the glow around the golden man wavered, forced down just a fraction.
"This guy’s power should be coming from so kind of dinsional space," Queen Elowen said. Her voice carried through the wind and snow, landing clearly in everyone’s ears. "And he’s already completely fused with it."
She didn’t blink as she stared him down.
"If we don’t take him out fast, he’ll probably be able to call down even stronger power from that dinsion."
Phoenix Queen Ignara heard her. The firelight in her eyes darkened.
She didn’t waste ti replying—just gave a single, sharp nod.
The next instant, the phoenix shadow behind her spread its wings. Eternal Fla poured out from between feathers, tail, and talons, gathering in front of her into a churning scarlet-gold sea of fire.
The flas didn’t lash outward.
They tightened with her breathing, drawing in, compressing—until the heat was so concentrated the surrounding space started to glow faintly red.
At the sa mont, Queen Elowen raised her palm.
Frost climbed up from her fingertips. First it beca crystalline feather-bones—then wings coated in ice crystals, a long elegant neck, a razor beak, and finally a pair of ice-blue eyes lit from within by Divine Power.
When that frost phoenix ford in front of her, it didn’t scream.
All it gave was a deep, low crack—like ice splitting from the inside.
The mont fla and frost drifted close, a lot of the enemy soldiers instinctively held their breath.
In their minds, those two forces were supposed to reject each other—blow apart the instant they touched. But the Eternal Fla didn’t devour the frost, and the extre frost didn’t snuff the fire out.
Scarlet-gold threads of fla wound around the frost phoenix’s wings. Ice-blue radiance spread along the edges of that fire. Under the pull of Divine Power, the two forces actually started to lock together—bit by bit—like gears finally catching.
Ethan saw it too.
He’d thought it would be a brute-force stack, two attacks shoved together.
But when the two queens’ powers truly t, he realized it wasn’t that at all.
At the core of the Eternal Fla was a sacred presence. And deep inside Queen Elowen’s extre frost, Divine Power flowed as well. The two energies found the single point that could connect—
and then expanded outward from it in a rush.
Hummm.
A heavy vibration rolled down from the depths of the sky.
In the next second, a Frost Phoenix wrapped in Eternal Fla hovered above the battlefield. Its body was forged from extre ice, but its wings burned with scarlet-gold fire.
Every ti it beat those wings, frost spilled down from above—only for firelight to burn out from inside that frost. The two forces spread in a braided tide, squeezing the surrounding space until fine cracks started to form.
Those cracks crawled outward from the Frost Phoenix like a spiderweb, spreading across the entire sky.
The golden man hung in midair, and the light around him was no longer stable.
What had been a solid golden aura kept coming apart around his shoulders, chest, and the edges of his arms—then snapping back as he forced it into his body again. His expression turned ugly. The dinsional power around him started stuttering in uneven waves.
But he couldn’t retreat.
If he took even a step back, the Frost Phoenix would tear open his connection to that dinsional space.
And if that happened, he wouldn’t just lose his ability to block Phoenix Queen Ignara and Queen Elowen—he’d lose the borrowed power itself. It would collapse on him.
The golden man lifted both arms, dragging every scrap of strength he had left toward his chest.
Golden light condensed into a blinding sphere—then stretched outward, shaping into a raging golden torrent wrapped around dinsional force. Under his feet, space caved into a shallow ring, like he’d stepped on sothing soft.
He shot straight toward the Frost Phoenix.
The Frost Phoenix moved too.
It threw its wings wide. Eternal Fla surged along the edges, while extre frost erupted outward from within its body. The two powers fused into a single strike—ice and fire interwoven—crashing down from the sky toward the golden man.
The instant the golden torrent slamd into the Frost Phoenix’s chest, the sky went silent for one breath.
Then a shriek of explosion tore across the battlefield.
Rumble—!
The shockwave burst from the collision point, crushing the cloud layer first—then hamring into nearby enemy warships hard enough to make their shields flare violently.
The air warped like it was being kneaded by a giant hand. Space rifts yawned open and snapped shut in the aftershock. Soldiers fighting in the distance staggered back, nearly thrown off their feet. A few enemies dropped straight to their knees on the decks, their weapons slipping from their grip as the world bucked under them.
