Scorching magma intertwined with the burning hell palace.

The energy Caelan unleashed was almost evenly matched with Kate’s!

Evelyn stood beside Caelan, completely stunned by the scene before her.

So when Caelan truly erupted with power, he was actually this terrifying!

Then between Caelan and Kate, who was stronger?

Just as Evelyn fell into thought, Caelan’s slightly breathless voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Evelyn, Kate’s goal isn’t to fight us to the death. Do you understand?"

"I can feel it. More than anything, she wants to show off!"

Evelyn froze slightly, then began to seriously observe the battle between Caelan and Kate.

She saw that Kate’s hell palace did not continue expanding and spreading further. Instead, it chose a relatively gentle method, continuously accumulating power while tearing open a rift in the Void.

And on the other side of that rift was the World of Myriad Races!

"What exactly is she trying to do?"

Evelyn could not help muttering to herself. Meanwhile, the Supreme Staff beside her flickered with complex magical patterns across its surface.

A moment later, the Supreme Staff spoke in a strange tone.

"You might not believe this, but Kate’s goal is actually for us to quietly become spectators."

"Uh... basically, she wants us to calm down and watch her performance."

When Evelyn heard this, a strange expression appeared on her face as well.

So Kate’s intention was merely to prove in front of everyone that she was more outstanding than Caelan?

Based on Evelyn’s understanding of Mirror Images, a Mirror Image could not be suppressed by force. Only by satisfying its demand would it obediently cooperate.

For example, Iris.

Although Evelyn still became secretly angry whenever she thought about it now, she understood that this was the method to subdue a Mirror Image.

But...

What exactly did Kate want to do?!

...

In the World of Myriad Races,

A massive wound suddenly tore open in the originally calm sky.

The next moment, a corner of the blazing hell palace appeared in the sky.

However, this discovery plunged the entire World of Myriad Races into unprecedented tension.

No one knew what the hell palace in the sky was.

Some old-fashioned bishops even believed this was divine punishment descended upon the myriad races by the gods!

Countless people hid inside underground cities. Very quickly, those underground cities became packed to capacity.

But even more people were abandoned on the surface. They could only desperately search for cover, trying their best to conceal their presence while silently praying to the gods to protect the lives of themselves and their families.

After only a dozen minutes, the hell palace in the sky had almost covered more than half the heavens, even surpassing the radiance emitted by the sun.

No one knew what would happen next. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Everyone held their breath.

At that moment, a string of bell-like laughter suddenly rang out from the sky.

"Hehe, will you all play a game with me? This game is called hide-and-seek. You must hide properly, okay? If I find you, I’m going to punish you!"

As she spoke, Kate’s figure once again appeared above the World of Myriad Races.

She did not immediately make her next move. Instead, she activated her [Eye of Insight].

As Kate’s gaze swept across the world, she quietly observed the conditions of the different races.

Although Kate was unhinged, she did not truly intend to exterminate the myriad races. She merely wanted to lure out the inheritors.

If the inheritors refused to appear for too long, then Kate would have no choice but to destroy the various races region by region.

Surely those hidden fellows would not simply watch as their own races were exterminated, right?

"Little kittens hiding away, you’d better hide well!"

Kate’s bewitching laughter spread throughout the entire World of Myriad Races.

At the same time, she raised her hand and lightly snapped her fingers.

The next moment, the hell palace behind her collapsed into countless fragments in an instant.

However, this collapse was not the end.

It was merely the beginning of everything.

Fragments of the hell palace, both large and small, were wrapped in blazing Hellfire as they continuously fell from the sky!

The eyes of the myriad-race beings abandoned on the surface were instantly filled with intense fear.

Faced with such a dense and terrifying attack, just one wave would cause countless deaths and injuries. Some races might even be annihilated because of it.

What made people feel even more hopeless was that there was not only one batch of Hellfire.

In the sky, countless more Hellfire meteors were still gathering, ready to descend at any moment!

"Damn it! Is our Neil Race really going to be destroyed here?"

"My people, we cannot sit still and wait for death! We should fight back! Anyone who is an awakener, stand forward! I will lead you all to cut down this apocalypse!"

...

After all, only a minority chose to sit and wait for death.

Most races that had survived until now possessed some real ability. Otherwise, they would have long since been swallowed up by other races.

As a result, more and more awakeners from different races flew into the air and began cutting down the falling Hellfire from the sky.

Ivorykin, titan race, wood elves...

More and more awakeners stepped forward of their own accord to resist the threat from above.

However, in the face of the overwhelming Hellfire that blotted out the sky, they were inevitably overwhelmed, and quite a few slipped through.

Every single mass of Hellfire that struck the ground was like a heavy bomb.

It caused a massive explosion, but what was even more fatal was that the flames of hell could burn everything.

Even the soil was no exception.

The underground cities built by the myriad races from reinforced concrete could only withstand a single instant before the Hellfire.

Some underground cities buried at relatively shallow depths had already had a corner blasted open by the Hellfire.

"No! We can’t let this continue! Otherwise, we’re all finished!"

"Where are the powerful ones? Where did they all go? Why haven’t they made a move yet? Do they have to wait until our race is exterminated?"

Ordinary civilians complained, but it was basically useless.

To most powerful beings, ordinary people were fundamentally no different from animals in their eyes.

Aside from enjoying them freely when needed, whether ordinary people lived or died had nothing to do with them.

But there were also a small number of powerful beings who chose to step forward on their own initiative and protect their races.

Their strength might not have been that great, but they had already made full preparations to sacrifice themselves.

"Damn bastard! What kind of ability is it to only swing your blade at the weak?!"

Accompanied by a furious roar, a figure shot up from the ground.

He floated in midair, his entire body shrouded in pure white light.

The instant he appeared, even the Hellfire in the sky seemed to lose its luster.

As for the injured ordinary people, their wounds were fully healed in an instant.

The inheritor of [Divine] had appeared!
