"Ronan, I will need your help." Desperate times call for desperate measures. This massive red orb can take out everyone if no one does anything about it.
"I am already working on it." Ronan let out a loud roar before investing all of his mana into creating a huge barrier that separated the Mutant fire ants from the Ethereal soldiers. Ronnie followed Ronan and added all of his remaining mana in enhancing the defensive capabilities of the barrier. Following their Majesty, all the Ethereal soldiers, one by one began to pour their mana into the barrier, making the transparent barrier more and more stronger with each second.
Some mutant fire ants tried to run away but those mutant fire ants found themselves unable to move as Ronan was pressuring them using his cultivation. Ronnie was also doing the same. The combined effort from Ronan, Ronnie, and other elite soldiers had managed to kill all the remaining 4th-order mutant fire ants. As for the 4th-order mutant fire ants that managed to survive, those ants were seriously injured and under the pressure of a Peak 5th-order, they couldn't move at all.
The barrier stretched out more than 10,000 meters. It separated the mutant fire ants and the Ethereal soldiers. The 2 million soldiers began to pour their reserved mana making the mana barrier stronger and tougher. A few seconds later, the massive red sun that was over 10,000 meters big was only 1000 meters away from impacting the ground. Even from 1000 meters, even though the Ethereal soldiers were currently protected by a dome structure-like transparent barrier, they were still able to feel the terrifying heat of the Crimson flames.
The heat that was radiating from the more than 10,000 meters big Crimson orb caused all the plants, trees, insects, and the few remaining animals that lived in the forest to instantly die from the heat. Even before the attack could hit them, all the 1st-order mutant fire ants died unable to withstand the heat. While the second-order and third-order mutant fire ants' were barely resisting. Another second later, the dead bodies of the mutant fire ants began to burn without even being in contact with the Crimson flame.
The temperature of the outer region of the Heavenly Hemlock forest had reached a terrifying level. Just the Crimson orb was only 500 meters above the ground, the intense light from the orb had forced almost everyone other than Ronan and Ronnie to close their eyes.
And finally, the impact happened.
Boooooooom!!!!!!!!!!
As soon as such a massive attack impacted the ground, the entire central continent felt earth-shaking. Every citizen of the Ethereal Empire at that moment heard a rumbling sound. That day it was said that the sky had been painted red. It was the day when more than 10,000,000 mutant fire ants had died. Not just died, but their bodies have been turned to ashes.
With the Empire shaking explosion, a huge shockwave spread everywhere. The shockwave was so terrifying that it literally destroyed anything or any being that got in its way. The shockwave has been said to spread more than 100 km away. The entire outer region of the heavenly Hemlock forest was destroyed. The attack had started a big forest fire in the inner region of the Heavenly Hemlock Forest.

Alicia's POV____
What is he doing? Is he trying to kill everyone? At this moment I couldn't understand what was happening. This massive attack was strong enough to destroy a large part of the Ethereal Empire. Not even a Beginner or Mid phase 5th-order cultivator would be able to withstand such a massive-scale attack.
Also, it was not just any ordinary type of flame attack. These flames are called the Crimson flame, one of the strongest and most dangerous flames in the whole world. It is said that the Crimson flame can also burn souls.
"I don't what happened on the battlefield. I believe Aditya is not a reckless person." Alicia noticed Sylvie creating an energy bubble that completely surrounded them.
And it finally happened. The massive Crimson orb impacted the ground with a blood-curdling sound. Just hearing the sound of an explosion, I felt my heart had stopped beating and my mind had stopped processing.
In my entire life, I have never seen something like this. The fact that Aditya was able to do something was mind-blowing.
'I just hope nothing happens to father.' Alicia silently prayed in her heart. Just as the crimson orb hit the ground, a massive flame of mushroom cloud rose in the air. Following the flame mushroom cloud, a huge shockwave spread in every direction. In less than a few seconds, the shockwave was in front of them.
Just as the shockwave was about to hit them, Alicia closed her eyes.
Boom!
A few seconds later she opened her eyes. When she looked at the land in front of her, it was as if she had come to a different place. Everything in front of her had changed. There was no sign of greenery and tall trees. Everything that previously described the beauty and the structure of the Heavenly Hemlock forest had changed into something else.
It only made Alicia wonder if, after today, this place will be called a forest or something else. Black smoke had covered the entire area, preventing Alicia from properly seeing anything. But when she looked down, she couldn't help but widened her eyes in deep shock seeing the soil itself had been burned black. Volcanic ashes were everywhere in the air.
"What in the hell did I just witness?" Alicia couldn't agree more with the Succubus's words. Even though Alicia did not like her, her words described Alicia's current feelings the best.
"Maybe a glimpse of what Hell looks like." Noah replied in a low tone.
End of POV____

The place where previously the ground had been dyed with blood. The place which previously had dead bodies of both Ethereal soldiers and mutant fire ants and the place which previously used to be a lush green forest now had changed into something else. The attack left a permanent mark on this land which the people will never forget even after 500 years. This place in the future will become the place of legends and myths.
Almost half of the Heavenly Hemlock forest sky at this moment was covered in ashes and in black smoke. The outer region where the war was being fought now had one of the biggest and also the deepest craters in the whole world.
At the center of the crater, a handsome young man with long blue hair was sitting on the ground with a pale face and breathing heavily as if trying to suck as much oxygen as possible. The young man looked like he could faint at any given moment. His face and body had become pale. It looked like all the blood in his body had lost color and had become white.
Right now, the Dragon Monarch wasn't feeling so good. This was the first time after having the black heart, Aditya had completely used up his huge mana reserve. Compared to a Peak 5th-order cultivator, at the base level, Aditya's mana reserve was more than 3 times bigger. The amount of mana that he had used in this attack was simply colossal.
At this moment, in Aditya's mind, like a broken alarm clock, the system was continuously ringing. This was the record of the millions of mutant fire ants that the Dragon Monarch had just killed.
On the other side, the dome-like barrier that was over 10,000 meters big had filled with hundreds if not thousands of cracks. Ronan and Ronnie, both of their faces looked quite pale. Both of them had used up all of their mana.
Many mutant fire ants tried to run away but the shockwave of the attack had burned them to ashes. Now the only one that remained from the Mutant fire ant was the queen herself.

At the same time, somewhere in the inner region, in an underground chamber, there was a man who had entered the heavenly Hemlock forest and wasn't sensed by Ronan. This man had an artifact that allowed him to cover his Aura, making it impossible for anyone to sense him.
The man had long white hair that reached down his waist and an extremely handsome-looking face. The man had two white pairs of wings on his back that made others think that he was an angel. Similar to his white hair and enhancing his otherworldly handsomeness, the man was wearing a white Yukata.
Right now the man was looking staring at Scarlet. The current mutant fire ant queen looked like a beggar in front of the man. The bodyguard of the queen was lying dead 10 meters away from her. Even though the queen was sitting on a throne that was made up of gold, in front of that man she looked like a frightened ant. The noble and cold Aura around the queen was nowhere to be seen.
"Hello, Scarlet! How have you been doing?" Scarlet couldn't reply because her body was trembling. She wasn't trembling because of fear, her body was shaking from anger. The death of her children had made her furious.
"Because you and the organization abandoned me and my children. Now everyone is dead." It had taken the queen almost an entire decade of hard work to expand the mutant fire ant colony to this size. 10 years of hard work were ruined in less than 5 minutes.
"I see." Suddenly the smile on the man's face changed. Before the mutant fire ant queen could react, she found a sword stabbing her heart.
Cough!!!!
"Why?"
