From Secret Clan to the Divine Dynasty

Arthur had been planning for many years and was very clear about one thing, seeking revenge on Nasir Town at this point in time was undoubtedly the wisest choice.

"There will never be a better opportunity for revenge in my life!"

Now that a large number of powerful individuals from Cyart were heading to Rhea, the number of enemies within Cyart capable of interfering with and pursuing him was relatively reduced. Moreover, his current level of strength was at the strongest phase that wouldn't be detected by the big barrier.

If he were any stronger, his presence would alarm the entire East Coast the moment he set foot in Cyart, and if he were any weaker, the risks involved in the upcoming battles would drastically increase.

Once he eradicated Nasir Town, Arthur would immediately flee back to Rhea. Even if he were detected re-crossing the big barrier, it wouldn't matter anymore, as no powerful expert from Cyart would have a chance to catch up with him.

As long as he maintained sufficient speed throughout the process, he would not face any danger.

As for the Fischer family being able to stand against himself, who had reached the Monarch Level?

Clearly, that was an impossibility, because the gap between Transmutation and Monarch was so large as to be exaggerated.

In the only historical instance where a Monarch powerful expert had been ambushed with full preparation by a Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent and had managed a lucky encirclement and kill, it was a weaker Monarch powerful expert who fought more than a dozen people single-handedly, and half of those enemies were high-level Transmutation.

Only two survived in the end, and it was nearly a mutual destruction.

When he ascended to the throne in the palace and broke through to the Monarch Level, Arthur truly understood what a domain was—that was the powerful ability to release the palace within the power of Bloodline into reality.

Every Extraordinary Exponent with power of Bloodline and spellcasting talent hides a palace within their body, and its existence can only be truly observed after reaching the Metamorphosis Phase, with each palace having a completely different shape and characteristics.

Only the Extraordinary Exponents who truly control the palace by ascending to the throne can freely bring it into the real world to form various powerful domains!

"So that's how it is, I've finally mastered it completely..."

Arthur murmured to himself, his eyes filled with a sense of bewilderment and exhilaration from the powerful force filling his body.

From this moment on, he was the true master of his own power of Bloodline!

He slowly raised his palm and cast the terrifying "palace" into reality, expanding his domain, and a very large fire cloud quickly condensed in the sky.

The bloodline trait of the Fire Demon God "Adranus" is the ability to birth and manipulate flames.

However, when the domain was released, it became different from ordinary fire-type bloodline powers and the flames controlled by an elements spellcaster. He could control a vast range of flames laden with destructive Magic Power on a large scale, and his every movement seemed like a natural disaster, powerful enough to be "flames that burn flames."

Byrne raised his head with a very serious expression, and then he witnessed an astonishing scene.

In the sky, a massive and terrifying fire cloud rose, resembling fiery wings enveloped by raging flames, drifting in the air, turning the entire sky blood red.

The flames wildly devoured everything, unleashing heat and destructive power, with black smoke rolling within the fire cloud as if it were the roar from the depths of hell.

Terrible lights flickered from within the fire cloud, illuminating the ground, casting long terrifying shadows, and also lighting up the sky in a hazy red.

"Such powerful flames, so this is the power possessed by a top-tier bloodline..."

Byrne could feel the heat even with a breath, knowing that the enemy's bloodline power trait was similar to the Tempest Bishop "Thunderous Monarch," whose domain effects were specialized for large-scale attacks.

Is that fire...

Byrne slowly widened his eyes, his mind seething with rage.

Was the enemy a member of the Meyer family?

"Everyone, pay attention. He's gathering strength to destroy the entire Nasir Town in one strike!"

Byrne's tense expression was very somber. Even though the mirror barrier had a weakening effect on his power, it was too insignificant for a Monarch Level expert.

At the center of that fire cloud were even more crimson and fierce balls of fire, wildly dancing, signaling an impending disaster.

The roar of the flames was like the angry shout of a beast, inducing overwhelming fear and helplessness in the people of Nasir Town under the threat of the fire cloud, leaving them no choice but to kneel and pray to the gods, hoping the disaster would end soon.

"We'll be alright, the gods have long decided everyone's fate."

Irene was exceptionally calm, not afraid of the flames but indifferently reaching out her hand to touch one after another important member of the Fischer family, including the Daybreakers and the three brothers of the Dagger Brotherhood.

Then she gazed at the sky, taking out a sacred object she had always treasured from her bosom. It was an object that had accompanied the Fischer family for decades, the thing that started the story a long time ago.

It was the beginning of everything and also the continuation.

The black cross glow inside the transparent bottle shone unrestrainedly, even more dazzling than it had been decades ago, and an extremely terrifying aura instantly shook everything around!

Those who had no relationship with Karl only glanced at it and immediately fell unconscious to the ground, then completely lost consciousness and later forgot all about this period of time.

"Please look, everyone!"

"Our most great deity, the Lord of the Lost! He is about to display a true miracle!"

All those who had not fallen unconscious were faithful followers of the Lord of the Lost, and everyone devoutly knelt down, staring eagerly and fervently at the sacred object in Irene's hand, continuously sending prayers to the Lord of the Lost in their hearts.

"What is that?"

In the heart of the overwhelming fire clouds, Arthur Meyer, who had completely transformed into flames, also noticed the transparent bottle, and then he saw that there was absolutely nothing in the center of the transparent bottle, yet there was a very strong oppressive feeling.

He felt something terribly wrong throughout his body, actually beginning to shiver uncontrollably due to some immense fear!

Why would this be happening?

It was almost impossible, he had clearly reached Monarch Level, possessing the great power that could truly influence the outcome of wars, so why would a mysterious bottle instill fear in him?

The only possibility that Arthur Meyer could think of was something extremely terrifying!

Could it be that the transparent bottle was actually a single-digit numbered Forbidden rare artifact, or even possibly a "Untouchable" level Forbidden rare artifact?

"We must not give her the chance to activate the Forbidden rare artifact!"

No longer continuing to accumulate power, he unhesitatingly commanded the fire cloud capable of destroying half a town to press down, instantly making everyone feel the terrible heat, as if everything was about to be destroyed.

Before their eyes, the people of Nasir Town were about to perish under the mountain-crushing blaze of raging flames.

"Block it!"

Byrne roared out, taking out several purple-red strange stones from his bosom, which he had purchased time and again from the Alchemy Council.

I don't want to die!

In the next instant, his and everyone else's strong emotions merged and resonated, pouring into the purple-red stones, which instantly lit up with intense light.

Then a powerful force burst out from the soaked depths of the purple-red!

It was a not yet complete power of miracle, contained within the souls of people, though each stone had a limit to the power it could release, theoretically the power of miracle was capable of doing anything one wanted to do, having perfect adaptability.

In the legends of the alchemy realm, if one could make a completely red Stone of Truth, one could even use it to achieve genuine wish fulfillment!

The intense emotion of wanting to live and not wanting to die fully activated the numerous purple-red stones, which formed an invisible barrier, and very barely managed to block Arthur's destructively powerful strike.

A look of surprise appeared on Byrne's face, feeling very clearly that power of miracle, which can directionally change the world according to the user's will and emotions!

"How is that possible? It simply can't be, what on earth have you done?"

Arthur Meyer could not understand why those purple-red stones possessed such terrifying power.

He knew very clearly that although they could only delay him for a short time, it was already enough to allow that woman to activate the terrifying Forbidden rare artifact!

What will it do?

How should he respond to it?

The experienced Arthur Meyer instantly calmed himself, observing the changes in the surrounding environment, ready to deal with the suspected high-level "Forbidden rare artifact."

Irene paid no attention to everything happening outside, her fate long determined by the Lord of the Lost, and thus she knelt on the ground and calmly spoke the words she had told at the beginning of her story more than twenty years ago.

"Please save us, great Lord of the Lost, I am willing to give everything to You!"

"Take anything from me, just save my family!"

She smiled, murmuring to herself:

"It's wonderful, I can finally fulfill the initial promise, to offer my soul, all of myself to You!"

Lord of the Lost?

Arthur Meyer listened to the words narrated by Irene, and his expression changed dramatically, having never considered this incredible possibility.

How could it be like this?

The Fischer family from Nasir Town, could they actually be the legendary Lost Cult, those evil cultists who worship the Evil God, the Lord of the Lost?

They were clearly so feeble, and all circumstances did not match the legends...

Karl appeared high in the sky, calmly looking at Irene's soul, just like before, surrounded by pure white, pink, cyan blue, dark red, and orange-yellow.

They represented life span, emotions, memory, senses, and intellect, respectively.

The pure white light was almost imperceptible, like a lamp flame that could go out at any moment, and the other colors, which could be used as "weapons" against a person, were still not enough to kill a Monarch powerful expert.

The quantity of the sacrifice was still insufficient, he judged in an instant.

Just then, the invisible barrier that had held back the sky of flames finally dissipated, and Arthur drove his domain with all his might, as the covering blaze fell into Nasir Town in a beautiful and spectacular manner.
