Starry Sky Palace Turned into a Sea of Fire

"Click..."

In the boundless sky, a crack suddenly appeared without any warning, as if space itself had abruptly split open, causing glass-like fragments to shatter.

"Bang----!"

A sudden crashing sound erupted from the cracked area, sending countless fragments hurtling into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, an aerial fortress appeared from the cracked space, burning all over, and transformed into an enormous meteorite, falling from the sky.

"Thump—!"

With a deafening roar, the massive aerial fortress crashed heavily into a desert, stirring up a cloud of sand.

Even so, the flames of the Crimson Lotus continued to burn within, gradually turning this aerial fortress, comparable in size to a city, into ruins.

Not long after, several figures flew out from the burning aerial fortress.

It turned out to be Hecate, Shudenan, and Belphegor.

Besides these three, two other people also escaped from the inferno.

One is Sabrac.

One is Fekir.

In other words, apart from these five people, everyone else perished in the sea of fire, burned to ashes by the "Heavenly Calamity Fire".

The group reacted differently as they gazed at the burning aerial fortress.

"Ah... ah..."

Fekir made a dazed sound, knelt down on the spot, and shed tears.

Belphegor's complexion was also extremely unpleasant.

You have to understand that the entire "Bal Masqué" was run by these two people. Now that Starry Sky Palace has turned into a sea of fire and crashed to the ground, almost none of the members left in the Starry Sky Palace survived. How could these two people remain calm?

Hecate and Shudenan both watched the burning Starry Sky Palace in silence.

Only Sabrac, though silent, clearly appeared indifferent, merely gazing at the Crimson Karma Fire that covered the entire aerial fortress, and spoke in a low voice.

"Is this the power of 'God'?"

----"god".

This is not an exaggeration.

In the Crimson World, there are three beings known as "Gods".

That title wasn't bestowed upon them by those who feared them because they possessed great power; rather, it was a deity who truly embodied the laws of the Crimson World.

At least, that's the case for the apostles of the Crimson World.

They each possess their own powers and are fulfilling their respective missions as "gods".

These three deities are respectively known as the God of Heavenly Punishment, the Creation God, and the Guiding God.

The God of Heavenly Punishment wields the power of "Judgment" and "Conviction," and is able to punish all beings in the world, including gods of the same rank. Therefore, he is also known as the God of Godslaying, and has an extremely strong sense of mission to maintain world order and balance.

The Creation God wields the power of "creation" and "certainty," and is generally recognized as possessing world-destroying power. He has an extremely strong desire to dominate and will create things according to the wishes of his followers.

The Guiding God wields the power of "awakening" and "communicating," and is the most transcendent of the three pillar deities, almost becoming part of the law itself, never manifesting in the world.

These three gods, who embody the laws of the Crimson World, are undoubtedly the highest beings in both the Crimson World and the Real World, and their status cannot be shaken under any circumstances.

Alastor is one of the pillars of the God of the Crimson World, and is known as the God of Heavenly Punishment.

Now, the appearance of this God of Heavenly Punishment has turned the entire Starry Sky Palace into a sea of fire, and all the members of the "Bal Masqué" who remained there have been reduced to ashes. Although it was only a small number of members, it instantly annihilated a large number of Crimson Realm Denizens, enough to glimpse a corner of the true power of this demon god.

Hecate spoke softly in response.

"The God of Heavenly Punishment has not fully manifested; this is only a part of his power."

"A portion?" Sabrac was slightly taken aback, then fell silent.

A portion?

Is it really that powerful just because it's only a portion of the power?

"If the God of Heavenly Punishment truly manifests in full, do you think we'll still have a chance to survive?" Shudenan said with a self-deprecating tone, "After all, he's a true demon god of the Crimson World, an existence on par with our Alliance Leader."

That's right.

The Alliance Leader of the large apostle group called "Bal Masqué" is a god of equal status to the God of Heavenly Punishment.

The Three Pillars are the life forms they created.

The overpowered special Treasure Tool in the hands of Hecate, Shudenan, and Belphegor were created by this god.

Therefore, no one understood better than the Three Pillars just how terrifying the so-called gods truly were.

"I never expected the God of Heavenly Punishment to manifest in our ' Bal Masqué's' base." Belphegor took a deep breath, calming herself, and said, "But in that case, both that human and that Flame Haze Warrior must be dead inside, right?"

Now that the demon that was sleeping inside the Flame Haze Warrior has awakened and manifested, a human-sized vessel would be instantly burst open and die beyond any hope of survival.

As for humans, it is even more impossible for them to survive in this indiscriminate flames of conquest.

However, Hecate denied Belphegor's words.

"No." Hecate stared at the sea of fire and said expressionlessly, "That person would not die from a disaster of this magnitude."

"...Is that so?" Belphegor agree with Hecate's statement, muttering, "So, we still let them escape?"

"Well, is that all?" Shudenan suddenly laughed and said, "Even if they don't escape, I'm almost at my limit."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and then they were shocked.

All of Shudenan's Power of Existence transformed into murky purple flames, leaking out bit by bit. Even the corners of his mouth were stained with blood, something Crimson Realm Denizens would never normally possess.

"Was it really too much to push myself?" Shudenan clutched his chest, vomiting blood as he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Being slashed by that human was indeed fatal."

Upon hearing Shudenan's words, everyone finally remembered.

After Fang Li used the Holy Mark, Shudenan was directly chopped into pieces.

"The parts that were slashed could not be restored at all. Although the remaining parts were reconstituted into flesh, they were still seriously injured."

Shudenan said with a wry smile, "It seems that this is the end of the story this time."

Everyone fell silent again.

"Heh..." Belphegor softly, closed her eyes, and said this.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky, humans, and the Flame Haze Warrior of the God of Heavenly Punishment."

Upon hearing Belphegor's words, Fekir only looked sorrowful, while Sabrac shrugged.

Only Hecate remained, gazing at the burning Starry Sky Palace before her, her eyes flickering slightly, remaining silent for a long time.
