I alone am the Honoured One!

"Emberstorm Destruction!"

*WOOOOSHHH*

Massive waves of greenish flames erupted from Zarek Talon's body as it felt like the space itself was raging in fire.

*SWIIISHHH* The huge wave of green flames quickly swirled around the arks of the space pirate, and each one of those arks began to combust and explode in those flames.

*BOOM* *BOOM* One after another, the arks exploded into smittens, leaving the space with fuming green smoke.

The hulls, made of reinforced metals and fortified with advanced technology, stood no chance against the Empyreal flame.

On the lead ark, Keathe Romez gritted his teeth in mounting frustration, his hands clenched into fists as he watched his fleet burn to cinders.

The holographic screens in his command center flickered, showing the destruction happening in real-time.

"RETREAT! PASS THIS TO HEADQUARTERS NOW! WE CAN'T HOLD OUT AGAINST HIM!"

His voice trembled with rage and fear, but before any of his orders could be carried out, the entire command center shook violently.

His eyes darted to the viewscreen, where Zarek Talon's flaming figure floated amidst the carnage like a wrathful god.

"BAHAHA! NO RETREAT!" Zarek Talon's booming laughter echoed across the communication channels, causing a shiver to run down the spines of the remaining pirate crew.

Laughing loudly, Zarek Talon waved his hand as spears made of gleaming green flames burst out in the space.

Each spear was as long as an ark and brimming with destructive energy of an Empyreal flame, and with a simple flick of his wrist, he sent them flying.

*swish* *swish* *swish*

The spears shot through space with deadly accuracy, piercing through the shields and hulls of the pirate arks. *THOOM* *THOOM*

One ark, attempting to flee, veered off-course, but the flames caught up and a spear tore through its center, splitting it in half as it disintegrated into fiery debris.

Another ark tried to cloak itself, disappearing from sight, but Zarek Talon's green flames spread out, as if sensing the slightest shift in space.

The moment the cloaked ship made a move, the fire engulfed it, burning through its stealth systems before reducing it to molten scrap.

"FIRE EVERYTHING WE HAVE! NOW!" Keathe Romez yelled in desperation.

The remaining pirate arks unleashed an array of missiles, lasers, and beams in a final, desperate counterattack.

Hundreds of projectiles shot toward Zarek Talon, but with a calm, almost dismissive motion, he waved his arm, creating a massive barrier of green flames that absorbed the incoming fire.

The attacks simply evaporated upon contact with the flames, leaving nothing behind.

"Your toys are useless," Zarek Talon's said, his voice dripping with amusement.

He raised his hand, his entire body now engulfed in green fire, and unleashed a torrent of flames toward the remaining pirate arks.

The firestorm swept through space like a tidal wave, engulfing everything in its path.

*BOOM* *CRACKLLEEE*

The vacuum of space was filled with the debris of the destroyed fleet, floating aimlessly amidst the green smoke that still lingered.

Keathe Romez, his ark the last one standing, watched in horror as Zarek Talon floated closer.

"Your Organization is annoying as fuck," Zarek Talon said, his eyes glowing with an ominous light.

Before Keathe could even respond, Zarek talon conjured a massive flame spear... crackling with enough energy to destroy a planet.

With a smirk, he hurled it directly at the command ship.

*BOOOOM1*

The spear struck the center of Keathe's ark, as it exploded with force. The entire ship erupted into a brilliant green explosion, and in a matter of seconds, it was gone—obliterated without a trace.

Zarek Talon stood amidst the aftermath, his green flames still burning brightly.

As the flames of the destroyed fleet faded, Zarek Talon looked toward the planet below, a smirk tugging at his lips.

"Let this be a reminder," he muttered to himself, "Ebon Luohe protects its own."

With a final glance at the debris, he vanished, leaving nothing but the eerie green smoke and the silent remnants of the battle floating in space.

...

Lyra Talon who was sitting on the ark jumped excitedly and clapped "Hehehe... now that's my father."

Zhao Tian sat there silently and frowned because he couldn't even see through most of his movements.

'And those flames are so powerful... With that, I am sure, he can easily destroy Earth.'

He glanced at Lyra Talon in the corner of her eyes 'Maybe I can get some information about his Empyreal flame...'

"Woah, I didn't expect your father to have an Empyreal flame. He sure is hella powerful, fit to be an Emperor of an Apex High star."

Hearing this, Lyra Talon giggled "Yeah. yeah... that geezer tried really hard to tame that one Empyreal flame."

"You see, it is called Verdant blaze and is in 8th place among the 13 Empyreal flames that have been recorded in history."

Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow 'In the 8th place eh, if I remember correctly.. Xue'er' Golden Sun flame is in the 10th place.'

'For now, I know the existence of four Empyreal flames, Xue'er' Golden Sun flame, Freya Everglade's Crimson Pheonix flames'

'The one that cursed Yixiain with his blue flames... Jiu Yang was his name? and now this... Verdant blaze.'

As Zarek Talon used his Empyreal flames in Zhao Tian's presence, the consciousness of the Verdant Blaze instantly saw its Archon, but being tamed, it didn't come out.

The frown on Zhao Tian's face deepened 'Maybe as the Archon of Elementals, I should collect all of these Empyreal flames...'

His eyes glanced at the remains of the destroyed Pirate fleet 'However, now I can't take Verdant Blaze from this monstrosity...'

'But for sure in future, I will collect all these Empyreal flames. I wonder if there are special like this for other elementals like... Empyreal Ice or something?'

...

*tap* tap*

Meanwhile, at the same time, a woman with long black hair is walking through the dim-red light corridor, her crimson eyes calm and emotionless.

*drip* *drip* With every step, blood was dripping from her severed left arm as she made her way towards the large black door at the end of the corridor.

The two guards who were standing in front of the door shrank in shock seeing the woman after some years and instantly kneeled on the floor.

"E-Eldritch Empress!"
