[FTMWDK] Chapter 367: Strongest Flame
🕑 Added 2024-04-10 02:24:36 +0000 UTCCountless azure flames converged like swimming fish, coalescing in the blink of an eye into a lotus flower the size of a palm. Each petal was vivid as if crafted by the most skilled artisan in the world, exuding an indescribable beauty.
However, this incomparably beautiful fire lotus made Heracles feel an indescribable threat!
He slightly lowered his body, tightly gripping his unnamed axe-sword. His eyes remained fixed on the quietly floating azure fire lotus in mid-air, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face for the first time.
At this moment, he seemed to reminisce about the first time he set foot in the underworld. In that eternal darkness of hell, he finally deeply understood how close death was to him!
He absolutely couldn't take it head-on!
That kind of thought rang in Heracles's mind like a warning bell, but he could also keenly feel that this fire lotus had already locked onto him. No matter where he hid, he couldn't escape.
Could it be that he could only face it head-on?
However, Heracles himself knew very well that while he was unparalleled in attack, his defense was his biggest weakness.
He could only gamble.
Taking a deep breath, Heracles prepared himself.
With all his recorded achievements, his Noble Phantasms were also perfected, including his 'King's Order'. This Noble Phantasm was his proof of overcoming the twelve impossible labors, and the immortality of the fourth labor passed on to him by Chiron was what would help him right now.
However, the regret was that this immortality could only be used once. Once depleted, it couldn't be replenished by any means.
With no escape and no way to stop it, Heracles could only rely on this immortality to gamble. Before Kama could use Shiva's flames again, he had to eliminate her as soon as possible!
"Goodbye, great hero."
Every double of Kama sneered, pushing gently with their palms, and the azure fire lotus immediately drifted toward Heracles. Wherever it passed, space shattered layer by layer, revealing patches of bizarre spatial fissures.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, hey, did you forget there's still someone here?"
A spatial hole suddenly unfolded in front of Heracles, and Arkhan, clad in silver armor, stepped out from it.
"Maybe you should leave this to me."
Arkhan smiled at Heracles, then turned to look at the slowly approaching azure fire lotus. With a wave of his hand, blazing flames surged from nowhere, gradually condensing into a peculiar greatsword covered in blazing flames.
Judgment of Shamash, Zeroth Power—Might of An-Utu!
Arkhan seemed entirely unconcerned about the flames lingering on the greatsword. He directly reached out and grabbed the hilt of Might of An-Utu. In that instant, the searing flames swept over him, seemingly engulfing his body entirely.
But in almost the next moment, a black-and-white glow flashed across Arkhan's body, rendering the menacing flames from the greatsword incapable of posing any threat to him.
"I wonder whose flames burn stronger? The flame of the god with the strongest power of destruction or the flame of the Divine Key possessing the strongest destructive force? Let me witness it firsthand."
After saying that, Arkhan slowly exhaled a hot breath, raising the Might of An-Utu high with both hands and then swinging it forward.
"Shamash, unleashed!"
"Might of An-Utu!"
WHOOOSH—!!!
The raging crimson flames instantly spread into an endless sea of fire, casting everything around into a fiery red hue. With terrifying high temperatures capable of burning and destroying a planet, accompanied by astonishing destructive power, it surged forward like a ferocious beast, devouring everything in its path.
Sensing the imminent danger, the serene azure fire lotus could no longer maintain its composure. The palm-sized lotus quickly expanded into a vast sea of blue flames, colliding with the oncoming crimson flames.
Though the azure flames and the crimson flames differed in color, both contained equally terrifying destructive power. Under the collision at this moment, the power within them was fully unleashed, creating an indescribable awe-inspiring power, directly annihilating several nearby asteroids into nothingness.
"How is this possible!"
Every double of Kama widened their eyes in disbelief, their faces filled with palpable astonishment.
That was the flame from the god of destruction, Shiva! How could there possibly exist a power that could rival it in this world? In the first place, what were those crimson flames? How did he obtain such power?!
Kama was shocked and puzzled as if countless vines entangled her mind. But before she could continue to contemplate, the crimson sea of flames suddenly surged with even greater power, completely engulfing the azure flames and continuing to rush toward many doubles of Kama.
They paled, hastily dodging in all directions.
Unfortunately, their reactions were ultimately too slow.
Under the coverage of the sea of crimson flames, they didn't even have time to scream in agony, disappearing instantly from this world, leaving behind only nothingness.
With just one strike, over a third of Kama's doubles were completely annihilated, leaving no trace behind!
Heracles looked at Arkhan with a face resembling someone witnessing a monster. He could still tell that the blazing greatsword in Arkhan's hand should be the same one as before, but its power had increased so absurdly.
Before such terrifying destructive power, even he couldn't help but feel a bit inferior.
Where did this man get such an overpowered weapon from?
"It seems that when it comes to flames, mine is still stronger, huh..." Arkhan remarked with a smile.
The remaining doubles of Kama looked at the area swept by the crimson sea of flames, their eyes filled with intense dread.
However, as if remembering something, their dread turned to sneer.
"Hmph! Even so, don't forget, this is my realm, my universe! Even if I can't beat you, you can't kill me!"
Snap!
They snapped their fingers in unison.
Soon, numerous doubles of Kama reemerged one after another, quickly reaching the previous scale. They all looked at Arkhan with disdain, as if mocking his incompetence.
Upon seeing this scene, Arkhan furrowed his brows slightly.
With his strength, he could easily kill as many Kama as he wanted. But as she said, as long as Kama was in this place, she would never be killed, and everything he did would be in vain.
What should he do?
"There's still one way..." Heracles suddenly spoke. "Since this realm is her dependence, just completely destroy it. I think sacrificing my Grand Servant's Saint Graph would do."

Hercules stop killing yourself! You don't need to do that! Just make the damn king get his head out of his ass and stop playing with fire!
