Chapter 276: Preparation to Awaken Black Flame Sovereign

Chapter 276: Preparation to Awaken Black Flame SovereignThe three Flame Lords exchanged glances, their flames flickering with uncertainty and restrained fury. Although they didn’t want to believe Apollo’s words, there was definitely some truth in seniors orbs’ words, as they also understood Apollo’s presence was already the best proof.

In the end, they can only calm down and think about what to do now.

Seeing the tense situation, Senior Orb decided to fix the situation. "How about I give you a better solution to all your problems?" He said calmly, looking at four of them.

"What way, senior?" Apollo quickly asked as he didn’t know how to make these stubborn flame Lords.

Other three flame lords also looked towards him as they also wanted to know.

"I have a way through which I can show all of you what he saw in the future without trying to harm him or searching his soul directly."

Hearing this, all of them felt surprised and good. All three flame lords believed in him, although Apollo didn’t fully trust the senior orb. It was still the best way to do it without hurting himself.

As if he didn’t agree, the three flame lords might suggest a direct soul search of his memories, not caring even if they knew someone very powerful behind him.

The Crimson Lord’s flames flared briefly, a sign of his curiosity before he crossed his arms again. "Show us the future, this human seen? If you truly possess such a method, Senior Orb, then let us see the truth for ourselves."

The Azure Lord’s flames shimmered with a soft glow, her voice calm but laced with curiosity. "Indeed, if this method is as you claim, it will settle this matter once and for all. We can judge the mortal’s claims based on the truth we witness."

The Golden Lord, his golden flames steady and resolute, added, "Then do it, Senior Orb. Let us see the future that this mortal has described, and we will decide how to proceed."

Apollo, still tense but feeling a glimmer of hope, looked at the orb senior. "Senior, if this truly works and reveals the truth, then I’m ready."

The orb senior chuckled softly, a strange echo resonating in the chamber. "Relax, mortal. I am not so reckless as to expose your memories directly to their scrutiny. The method I speak of will project your memories into a shared illusion."

"You will remain unharmed, and the Flame Lords will experience your vision of the future as if it were their own."

The three flame lords nodded. "Then let us begin without delay."

The orb senior floated closer to Apollo, its presence calm and reassuring. "This may feel strange but do not resist. Allow your memories to surface, and I will do the rest."

He nodded and quickly followed the orb’s senior words as a mysterious aura covered him entirely.

He took a deep breath, his heart racing. He closed his eyes, focusing on the harrowing images of the future he had witnessed—the destruction, the corrupted infernal lords, the void left behind. As the orb senior’s power enveloped him, he felt his mind being gently guided, his memories surfacing like a stream flowing into a vast ocean.

The forbidden infernal destruction realm of the abyss seemed to start to appear, and with a bright glow, the surroundings around them changed as they seemed to appear in entirely different space and time.

The scenery changed; they also even felt the aura of destruction enveloping them and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

The three Flame Lords found themselves standing in the middle of a nightmarish landscape. What they saw was only ruins, with its skies darkened, and its ground cracked and lifeless. The oppressive aura of the Abyss permeated everything, and the corrupted flame lifeforms were like harbingers of despair.

The ground beneath them was cracked and lifeless, with streams of dark, viscous liquid flowing through the fissures. Gigantic skeletal remains of creatures long dead protruded from the ground, some still smouldering with an eerie black fire. The aura of destruction was so potent that even the powerful Flame Lords felt its weight in the illusion.

Cries of anguish echoed through the land, but no living beings could be seen, only the corrupted, monstrous amalgamations of flame and darkness, patrolling the barren realm like mindless drones.

The Crimson Lord’s flames roared wildly as his fists clenched. "This... this can’t be real. How could our realm, our father’s domain, be reduced to this?"

The Azure Lord’s usually calm and soothing aura faltered. Her azure flames flickered unevenly, reflecting her inner turmoil. "Such devastation... This level of destruction... Even Father’s power couldn’t prevent it? Impossible."

The Golden Lord’s golden flames dimmed, the usual radiance replaced by a muted, almost sombre glow. His voice, usually confident and commanding, now carried a tremor of disbelief. "The Abyss has swallowed everything. The corruption... How did it come to this? How could we let this happen?"

None of them doubted this time, as even in a destroyed state, in billions of years’ time, they could clearly tell it was their Black sovereign realm. As they were a bit terrified, the illusion shattered, and everything returned to normal.

The orb senior’s voice echoed through the desolation, calm yet urgent. "What you see now is not mere illusion. This is the reality of the future that this mortal has witnessed. This is what awaits if no action is taken."

Apollo stood among them; his breathing was unstable due to the fierce aura released by the three Flame Lords. "This is what I came to warn you about. This is the fate that awaits your realm, your people, and your father. If you still believe my words hold no weight, then perhaps you should face this reality on your own."

The three Flame Lords exchanged glances, their burning eyes flickering with unease. For the first time, they were in shock and dread, the weight of the vision they saw forcing them to confront the gravity of the situation.

The Crimson Lord growled, his fiery arrogance tempered by the overwhelming evidence before him. "If this is the truth, then we have no time to waste."

The other two flame lords also nodded, as they had to take steps forward to stop this calamity, and looking at the sense of danger, they needed to awaken their father quickly.

"We have to awaken Father as quickly as possible, and maybe then we can know what can endanger him." Azure Flame Lord quickly said her thoughts, as there was no time for wasting.

"But it’s not going to be easy; we need to prepare millions of fire source law crystals and other flame formations to activate and awaken Father. At least a few million years of resources collected are needed to use directly."

The Golden Lord furrowed his brow, his golden flames shimmering with a sense of urgency yet caution. "Not to mention if we awaken Father without proper safeguards, the realm itself might crumble under the pressure."

"But we have to do it." All three of them said at the same time and nodded their heads, agreeing on the next step.

"Let us begin and notify everyone in the realm; no matter what they were doing, quickly stop that and gather the resources and call the other brothers and runic formation masters to be ready to activate the formations."

Senior Orb nodded and looked at Apollo, "Let’s go leave them and do their jobs." With that said, Apollo and Senior Orb disappeared, leaving the area.

But his disappearance didn’t stop the chaos in the Black Flame Sovereign Realm, as the sudden order from the three great flame lords created shock and surprise as they all were confused about what just happened.

Across the realm, the fiery skies flickered with vibrant flames of red, gold, and azure, signalling the urgency of their command. Ancient clans, flame beasts, and elemental entities all halted their activities, their expressions etched with confusion and unease.

In grand halls and secluded chambers, powerful elders and realm masters convened in haste. The whispers of impending doom began to circulate.

Many scoffed, refusing to believe that anything could endanger their supreme ruler, the Black Sovereign. Yet the urgency of the Flame Lords’ decree left no room for doubt—something very important was unfolding.

The Crimson Lord stood atop the highest peak of the realm, his blazing aura casting a scarlet hue across the horizon. His voice boomed across the land, commanding absolute obedience. "Gather every fire source law crystal, every essence of flames! No delay will be tolerated!"

In the azure seas of endless flames, the Azure Lord orchestrated the assembly of the runic formation masters, her calm yet commanding presence ensuring precision in their work. "Every rune must be flawless," she instructed, her voice laced with both authority and worry. "One mistake and the consequences will be catastrophic."

Meanwhile, the Golden Lord moved swiftly through the heart of the Black Flame Sovereign Realm, overseeing the extraction of ancient resources locked away for millennia. His golden flames flickered as he barked orders. "Release every seal! Every resource we’ve gathered—it’s time to use it all. This is no time for hesitation!"
