[The Ashen King, Dastiel Abasalom, defeated at the hands of me, Ian Silverpeak]

He simply proclaimed: [Henceforth]

[I am the King of the Lower Flame Domain]

Indeed. It is as expected. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

On the earth, the one who should have been the most indignant, the one who should have reacted the most, the Fifth Energy Level expert, Pupationer, Savaga Nemasases had already known of the Ashen King’s defeat, but it wasn’t until Ian’s proclamation that he had a sense of delayed realization.

Indeed, of course it was him.

Before the battle began, the Ashen King had already communicated with Pupationer.

As former foes, competitors, co-rulers of the Fiery Flame Land, incompatible strategic partners, old rivals who couldn’t exchange a single word upon meeting... whether it was the Ashen King or Pupationer, they both knew they were among the few in this world who could understand each other as ’friends’.

Before the battle, the Ashen King candidly admitted to him the fact that he might be unable, or rather, most likely unable to win.

Ian Silverpeak is so powerful, unfathomable, having just broken through and being able to combine forces with Michael to defeat Axel. Two years of settling down, as the founder of the Arcane Pathway, very likely already at the ’Sixth Echelon’, or taking a step into the new era as a strong expert of the so-called Fifth Stage of the Arcane Pathway, since the other party dares to ’openly provoke’, it proves they have the confidence to win.

Even if the Ashen King has his trump card, will that trump card run smoothly? Honestly, even the Ashen King couldn’t guarantee it, and the technical principle of that trump card isn’t difficult. If the Silverpeak Seer also has that fearless courage and burning determination, they can learn it in return.

[So, together?] Pupationer didn’t mind two against one; rather, if they hesitated over something as trivial as this, they wouldn’t have become the Fifth Energy Level.

[No] The Ashen King said at the time: [What he wants is merely ’Fiery Flame Land’ itself; if he wins one-on-one, give it to him. If he loses, then we will possess the Silverpeak Domain]

[But even if we win two against one, to seize the Silverpeak Domain, do you think Dragon Island would agree? Would The Empire agree? The Four Great Orthodox Churches probably wouldn’t permit it... Vanal said to me a while ago that compared to our plan, they have more faith in Ian. Regardless of the outcome, they will continue with Ian’s plan rather than ours]

[Therefore, rather than winning—perhaps even losing—meaninglessly, let me burn myself and fight vigorously]

Pupationer respected the Ashen King’s choice.

And now, he had to admit.

[Even if both of us went together, we still could not defeat him]

Unlike other Fifth Energy Level experts, having a deeper understanding of the Ashen King, observing each detail of Ian’s fight with the Ashen King, except for the final ’Prevision of the Path of the Dao’, Pupationer could reach such an unbelievable conclusion to the outsiders.

Ian Silverpeak indeed exerted his full strength and played his trump card, but it was merely conventional full power. That once in the Sun Battle summoned multiple Heart Light Bodies, Fairy Body combined with Aether Crystal Dragon Body didn’t appear.

Indeed, using just one main body, concentrated power becomes greater, unlike the scenario needing tactical maneuver to push Axel away, but without using this trump card, who could comprehend Ian’s limit?

Moreover, Pupationer is also an extremely important part of ’Flame Reincarnation’.

He is the foundation coordinating the spirit and humanity of all beings, the Revelation Server itself.

It is his power that allows the Revelation Server to infinitely adapt to various environments, remain in the pitch-black Abyss, unfearing the endless, all-consuming flames.

If it’s said that the Ashen King is the initial and destructive fire.

Then, Pupationer is the profound darkness of the deep sea abyss.

If the Ashen King extinguishes, then the Revelation Server would restart and operate again, completely retreating into the deepest part of the Abyss, entering the ’Abyssal Epoch’.

Thus, Pupationer could see that having defeated the strongest form in history, awakened his immortality, the strength of Ian Silverpeak is not something he could resist.

If that’s the case...

[The future of Fiery Flame Land perhaps truly falls into his hands]

Having thought of this, Pupationer instead calmed down, joining others in looking up to the sky, at the seer unveiling his arms, displaying the flames in his hands.

With everyone, he silently listened to the seer’s words.

[My enemy, Ashen King, Daltis Abasalom]

Holding the flame in his hands, Ian Silverpeak calmly said: [Is a respectable force, warrior, and challenger]

[He challenged me because he had a noble ideal to realize, and also because he didn’t acknowledge the future I would bring to all—our battle was unrelated to self-interest, unrelated to authority, unrelated to greed and selfishness, merely for the most beautiful future in our hearts]

[The path he wished to forge is named Flame Reincarnation]

[Using demons as the body, abyss as the source, Domain of Void as the cradle, flame as the power, Flame Reincarnation]

Ian did not embellish but nor did he omit details; instead explained the essence, details, origin, and finality of Flame Reincarnation clearly—this once enough to be called a top-secret plan, Ian, this Fifth Energy Level expert, used the simplest yet clearest method to explain to everyone present, whether People of the Fiery Flame Land or outsiders were extremely shocked.
