The atmosphere in the middle ring of the realm crackled with tension and anticipation. The air was thick with a sense of foreboding as if something significant was about to happen. Whispers filled the streets as people anxiously awaited the unfolding of events.
Suddenly, projection screens materialized in several prominent locations across the realm. These screens flickered to life, displaying a woman who appeared to be chained and shackled. Her expression was stoic, betraying hints of fear and defiance. Flanking her were two figures draped in black and gloomy robes, their faces hidden in the shadows.

One of the black-robed figures held the chains that bound the woman, while the other stood with his hand concealed behind him. The scene was somber and foreboding, and a strange sense of power emanated from the figures.
Before them, an execution stage materialized, giving an ominous backdrop to the unfolding drama. The figure holding the chains slowly removed the face cover concealing the woman’s identity. A collective gasp rippled through the crowd as they recognized her as Sylvara, the esteemed Head of the Luminari Family. Shock and disbelief washed over the onlookers, their eyes fixed on the woman they once held in high regard.
With an undeniable force, the figure with the chains pushed Sylvara’s head toward the execution stage. A surge of black and ethereal chains sprouted from the stage, encircling her body and binding her tightly. The audience watched in horror as the chains snaked around her, their grip unyielding.
Sylvara resigned to her fate, and closed her eyes, concealing the regret and hatred that overwhelmed her. She had been a pawn in a twisted game, manipulated and betrayed by someone she once trusted. During her capture, she had endured countless interrogations and torture, using that time to piece together the truth. Her thoughts led her to one conclusion - Mi Ling, had betrayed her and orchestrated this elaborate scheme to manipulate the devil court. Furthermore, Sylvara realized that she had unwittingly become a scapegoat, a sacrifice to appease the devil court.
Regrettably, she had realized this too late. She had anticipated that if the devil court discovered their plans, they would have a chance to escape. However, her assumptions had proven wrong, and now she faced a much darker fate.
The other black-robed figure took a step forward, shedding his cloak to reveal his face. Awe and respect washed over the crowd as they caught sight of Mo Di, the current ruler of the devil court. Handsome and refined, his presence commanded attention and his reputation preceded him.
Mo Di’s voice resounded with a commanding power, echoing through the entire realm as if his words were meant to be etched into the very fabric of existence. The weight of disappointment and sorrow hung heavily in his tone, creating a somber atmosphere.
The crowd listened intently, their faces etched with a mix of anger, confusion, and sorrow. Murmurs rippled through the gathering, each person grappling with the gravity of Sylvara’s betrayal. Whispers filled the air like an unholy symphony, their words fanning the flames of judgment and speculation.
Mo Di, with an accusatory point of his finger, directed the collective gaze towards Sylvara. The weight of his words settled upon her like a crushing burden, stripping away the respect and esteem she once held.
"This woman," Mo Di declared, his voice carrying the weight of truth, "once occupied a high position within our court. However, her descent into greed and selfishness has led her to commit the gravest of crimes against not only the devil court but our entire realm."
An eerie hush fell upon the crowd as Mo Di painted a vivid picture of Sylvara’s treachery. Every word he spoke dripped with a mixture of sorrow and condemnation, pulling at the hearts of the onlookers, stirring emotions that ranged from outrage to despair.
"The ungratefulness of this woman knows no bounds," Mo Di continued, his voice resonating with a controlled intensity. "She has conspired with alien forces to sow chaos and destruction within our realm, jeopardizing everything we hold dear."
The realm trembled with the weight of Mo Di’s accusations, the fabric of trust and loyalty being torn apart by Sylvara’s alleged actions. The whispers grew louder, laced with disbelief and the fervent desire for retribution.
After a pregnant pause, Mo Di’s eyes flashed with cold resolve. It was a chilling sight, one that conveyed his unwavering commitment to justice and the reestablishment of order within the realm.
"So, people of the realm," Mo Di’s voice cut through the heavy silence, demanding an answer, "what do you think is the right punishment for this traitor?"
As Mo Di’s voice resounded throughout the devil realm, it carried with it a chilling resonance that seemed to penetrate every corner of existence. The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, causing an eerie stillness to settle over the realm.
Moments after his declaration, a hushed whisper began to ripple through the crowd. The word "death" danced on the lips of the onlookers, growing in intensity until it engulfed the very fabric of the devil realm. It rippled through the streets, whispered through the alleyways, and echoed in the minds of every being present.
The voices came from near and far, a symphony of darkness that carried Mo Di’s proclamation like a haunting melody. They spoke the word "death" with a mixture of trepidation and satisfaction, their voices intertwining in an otherworldly chorus that reverberated through the realm.
As the collective voices grew louder, they seemed to merge into a unified chant, a resonant mantra that enveloped the realm in a shroud of foreboding. The very essence of the devil realm quivered with the power of this chilling chorus as if it echoed the inevitability of Sylvara’s impending doom.
The execution stage itself seemed to come alive, emanating an eerie aura of malevolence.
Crimson dark flames engulfed the edges of the execution stage, their ferocious dance flickering with an otherworldly intensity. They licked and swirled, casting an eerie glow upon the scene, like a macabre ballet of sinister beauty. The flames seemed sentient, almost sentient, as if they possessed a wicked consciousness of their own, conspiring with the malevolent aura to create an atmosphere that chilled the marrow in one’s bones.
As Kai’s eyes locked onto the flames, a shiver crawled up his spine. His gaze narrowed, filled with both fear and fascination. He knew all too well the nature of those flames, for they were none other than the Heavenly Devil Flame - the most powerful and notorious flame in the entire devil realm.
