A Pursuit Battle in the Sky

"Keosius, this game of cat and mouse can end now. Accept your inevitable fate!"

Tiamat's roar was earth-shattering, shaking the mind and spirit, making even the mountains tremble and the earth split apart.

Boom—

With a muffled roar, Tiamat's vast divine power condensed into a gigantic claw over a thousand meters long. It tore through space at tremendous speed and clawed toward Keosius high in the sky.

At the center of the dragon claw's palm was a deep black hole radiating powerful suction. Dust and ash nearby were swallowed into it, and even the surrounding space warped to a degree, rippling like a vortex.

Broken stones on the ground flew skyward. Even trees were uprooted and swept into the fierce cyclone, while magical power and elemental particles in the air were devoured as well.

This was Tiamat's Grasp of Devouring!

Under that terrifying pull, Keosius found flying extraordinarily difficult. It was as though countless hands were dragging his body backward, preventing him from moving forward.

Keosius turned his head and looked toward the center of the black hole. It was filled with Tiamat's divine power, capable of effortlessly annihilating anything swallowed within and transforming it into Tiamat's own strength.

If that dragon claw caught him, only death awaited him.

At that thought, Keosius clenched his teeth. Then I'll truly spare no cost!

Boom—

A piercing explosion rang across the heavens. Keosius was bathed in flames from head to toe, trailing brilliant firelight behind him. His immense body forcibly broke through that gravitational pull and streaked into the distance.

His Demigod Body was burning!

To escape Tiamat's pursuit, Keosius had no qualms about burning his own Demigod Body, expending divine power, even depleting the very source of divine power within himself!

Propelled by the flames, the Embers of the Burned Emperor
