"..."
The Fire Elent Demigod had no eyes.
But it was obvious that his attention shifted to the sky following the other's response.
The Demigod knew of Ronald and Catherine's existence from the start.
However, having just revived from the lava lake, he only regarded these two carbon-based lifeforms as strong entities within the "fuel" of Fire City, ants that were basically not worth his attention. The fact that the two had survived his attack earlier was a trivial matter.
But now, he had no choice but to pay attention.
Because at this mont, in the ruins of Fire City, besides him and the opposing fire elent, there were no other living kin to be found.
The other's attitude exuded a confidence born from a certain reliance.
The only explanation was that these two carbon-based creatures in the sky were in league with the fire elent.
The Fire Elent Demigod knew his current situation was not favorable, so he planned to stall for ti.
Within his Divine's Holy Domain, as long as he could buy enough ti, his recovery speed would definitely surpass the opposition.
With so many top-tier fire elents' deaths as nourishnt.
Once he recovered, he might even surpass his original strength.
So, the Fire Elent Demigod spoke, attempting to dissuade his sole target of competition:
"Special little one, don't be deceived by these pitiful beings. Collaborating with those we hunt, the outco can only be..."
Suddenly, the Demigod's persuasion ceased.
Because at that mont, from among the two carbon-based creatures mid-air, a flash appeared in the male's hand, and then there was a book.
The next instant, a distant and steady incantation floated down from the sky:
"In the middle of our life's journey,
I found myself in a dark forest,
For the right path was lost.
Ah! How hard it is to tell of that wood, savage and harsh and bitter the thought of it!
..."
The Fire Elent Demigod, unable to resist, watched as Ronald produced the original text of The Divine Cody, reciting an incantation to activate Limbo.
In that mont, the entire Fire City ruins plunged into silence.
Infinite power erupted from Ronald's hand, distorting and controlling the essence-level concept of the Four Cardinal Heavens. From around Ronald, to the very edges of Fire City, the ultimate transformation of magic power descended here.
The do that appeared on Black Mountain that day now manifested in the Four Cardinal Heavens.
Contained within it was an even stronger, almost irresistible force.
Boom—
In an instant, the Demigod's constructed Divine's Holy Domain began to warp, Limbo's power squeezing and pressing the perfect domain into folds, quickly contracting towards the center.
The magic power the Fire Elent Demigod used to establish the Holy Domain was thus thoroughly lost, converging through the ruins into Ronald's hand.
Within a few breaths, Limbo had completely absorbed the Demigod's constructed Holy Domain, returning the space's anomaly to normalcy, exhibiting the dryness and temperature belonging to a desert.
Snap—
The pitch-black original text of The Divine Cody gently closed, then transford into a mark and vanished completely.
anwhile, the Fire Elent Demigod below had entirely lost the ability to think—unable to comprehend the situation.
Why would his most advanced ability, the embryonic form of the Divine's Holy Domain,
be so effortlessly destroyed by this inexplicable spell?
"Phew—"
At the sa ti, Ronald exhaled after completing the spell.
Through the enhancent of the Four Cardinal Heavens, Limbo's ability was correspondingly strengthened. The spell's consumption in dismantling the anomalous domain was reduced from several months to within a week.
This was even when dealing with a "Holy Domain."
Recalling the level of anomaly back on Black Mountain, Ronald felt that with the current Limbo, perhaps it could be achieved once a day.
In contrast to the contemplative Ronald, the Fire Elent Demigod on the ground seed heavily injured.
The Holy Domain was a spell he maintained by expending imnse power, with the aim of consolidating magic power and securing an unbeatable position in an intense battle of attrition.
Now with the sudden annihilation of the Holy Domain closely connected to himself.
As the master using and maintaining this spell, the Fire Elent Demigod's condition plumted. The blue glow on his body also suddenly brightened, giving the impression of magic power quickly draining away.
"I will beco a True God!"
The chanical fire elent by his side had just recovered to the point of being able to move.
He had no intention of letting go of this rare opportunity, his body leaping onto the Demigod's head, then pressing down with burning flas.
Boom—
A heavy collision rang out.
The already devastated ruins of Fire City imdiately erupted in countless debris from this impact, and at the center of this splendor akin to fireworks, the fire elent began its erosion on the Demigod.
One side was nearly out of power, the other was capable of acting.
Even if inherently different, the current state led the Demigod to have no resistance, only able to watch as his existence was gradually devoured.
In his final monts, the Fire Elent Demigod called out loudly to the sky, yet his voice, incomplete and intermittent, fell short:
"You... intruders..."
"The Four Cardinal Heavens won't... end here... wait and see!"
Boom!!!
The next second, blue light exploded between the two fire elents.
Under the continuous erosion from above, the Demigod finally collapsed, erupting into a powerful shock.
The ground they stood upon.
The ruins of Fire City were wiped clean, and the ground itself was forcibly impacted into a crater resembling a teorite crater, with ghostly blue flas burning within.
At the very center of this crater.
The chanical fire elent, as the last survivor, was undergoing his tamorphosis.
Having successfully consud the Demigod, his body's magic power structure and divinity fused, unified under the Four Cardinal Heavens' unique rules for fire elents.
Without accident, within a few minutes, he would successfully advance.
To beco the new Demigod of fire elents.
Yet the issue was, this fire elent's body was not pure; Katherine's previous modifications had incorporated chanical components, hindering the perfect fusion of the pure fire elent's divinity.
To smoothly continue this process.
A rare and special change was occurring within this fire elent.
"..."
High above, Ronald observed this scene.
It wasn't in his nature to let enemies evolve, so he tightly gripped the radiant longsword, ready to slay this fire elent on the spot.
"Ronald, wait!"
Catherine suddenly called out to stop the about-to-act Ronald.
Ronald turned his head.
He saw the master of the Astronomy Tower, recently freed from the predictions of Psychohistory, speaking with unprecedented seriousness:
"You can act imdiately to kill him."
"But if we chase the best outco, then we can't let him die within the world of the Four Cardinal Heavens."
