Flam Scorching Blaze was an Elemental God from 【Lower Dimensional Realm】, not as a deity of fire, but as the embodiment of the most extreme elements of flame, characterized by explosive and destructive qualities.
Therefore, he was dubbed with the name of a malevolent god. In a certain divine war, due to personal grievances, he was defeated by the neutral main god and demon god, Olivia, and imprisoned for thousands of years.
After the fall of the demon god, the source of magic went out of control, turning the Valley of Magic into a disaster area, and the Illusionary Realm was on the brink of collapse.
Flam could have taken advantage of this opportunity to escape, but Olivia had prepared early. She cut off a corner of her own divine realm and turned it into a sanctuary, entrusting it to her trusted aide, Tiyelu. With this power, after numerous twists and turns, Tiyelu finally managed to stabilize the situation.
Although some other malevolent gods imprisoned in the Illusionary Realm were released, Flam, who received special attention, ultimately could not escape from captivity.
What he said to Violet earlier was naturally half true and half false, but one thing is certain: if Silvester really seizes the power left behind by the demon god here, then once the Illusionary Realm collapses completely, the God of Blazing Heat and Explosions “Flam Scorching Blaze” will also inevitably break free.
That’s why this guy is doing everything he can to stop the priestess from causing trouble.
That being said, as one of the true high-ranking deities, Flam’s sensitivity to divine power is extremely acute. Just by meeting face to face, he could discern the terrifying nature of the holy spirit radiating light all over her body.
Coupled with the inherent weakness of the God of Blazing Flames himself, engaging in direct combat would result in defeat.
He originally intended to stall with words, preferably deceiving the other party into leaving directly. However, unexpectedly, the young goddess saw through his true nature with just a few words and immediately took action.
【............】
With a sidelong glance, just a brief touch caused the flames on it to extinguish completely, leaving behind a deep crack in the colossal palm. Flam’s apprehension deepened instantly.
Although their earlier exchange was only a tentative clash, not even the former demon god Olivia had managed to inflict such straightforward damage on him.
Seeing ahead a towering figure several thousand meters tall, majestic like a mountain yet exuding an aura of sanctity and grace, the six-winged holy spirit, Flam couldn’t help but shudder inwardly. He forcefully suppressed his urge for destruction and the impulse to attack, attempting to delay for time using another approach.
【Goddess who controls the light, how about we cooperate? How about this, as long as you can let me out...】

Before he could finish his sentence, Flam suddenly realized something was amiss.
Wait, why is the body of this light spirit rapidly fading?!
As one of the elemental gods who had existed for tens of thousands of years, Flam might be hot-tempered but he wasn’t foolish. Just after his momentary lapse, he immediately grasped the other’s intentions, and rage surged within him!
【Damn you!! How dare you play such petty tricks with me!!!!!!】
As the embodiment of light gradually became translucent and faded away, the scene behind it that had been previously obscured by the spirit became visible.
There, unexpectedly, a silver teleportation gate resembling a blade-cut had already opened. And the priestess, who had just been arrogantly confident and imposing moments ago, had disappeared without a trace long before, evidently taking advantage of Flam’s distracted confrontation to slip away unnoticed.
【You despicable coward! I’ll kill you!!!!】
Amidst furious roars, the upper part of the fire giant’s body suddenly glowed with a dazzling crimson light, terrifying flames that exceeded hundreds of meters in diameter surged forth like colossal waves.
In an instant, they pierced through the nearly vanished light embodiment and the passage behind it, akin to a meteor flying backwards through the sky, leaving a lingering and indelible distorted trace in the fiery red sky.
However strong the attack may be, it’s only effective if it hits the target. Everything Flam did was destined to be nothing more than futile rage.
Even as the light embodiment, bearing the same appearance as Violet, completely dissipated, there was still enough time for it to wave mockingly at him and stick out its tongue.
【Ah!!!!!!】
After that, naturally, the God of Blazing Flames erupted into another bout of madness and fury.
However, this had little to do with the priestess who had already entered the teleportation channel long before.
.........................................
“Huhh~”
Gracefully leaping out from the abruptly split silver passage, Violet casually brushed off her pristine white robe, untouched by dust, and couldn’t help but laugh at the swiftly closing channel behind her.
“And that’s supposed to be the God of Blazing Heat and Explosions? He’s quite explosive indeed, but doesn’t seem too bright. No wonder his followers are all so straightforward. Does he really think I was going to engage in a battle of three hundred rounds...”
Regardless of who’s stronger, fighting under circumstances clearly advantageous to the opponent, especially without Little Dragon Girl, the main attacker, by her side, would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
Even if she managed to defeat that god in the end, she probably wouldn’t gain much from it. Wouldn’t it be smarter to just make a run for it?
After all, it’s precisely because the other party’s goal likely involves stalling for time that the priestess would rather not engage in a hard-fought battle with that seemingly tough Flame Giant. She’s not exactly a battle enthusiast.
“Forget about that guy. Speaking of which, this place...”
The Valley of Magic—a name the priestess had once heard from Tiyelu. She initially thought it was some idyllic place with birds chirping and flowers blooming, but upon actually arriving, she realized the reality was quite different from her expectations.
Indeed, it was a valley unlike any other outside, but here, it had fallen into ruin beyond recognition.
On both sides of the path, there were only withered and decayed trees. The streams that once flowed through the valley had long dried up, and bare gray stones were scattered and broken at the bottom of the riverbed, presenting a scene of desolation.
One can imagine that there might have once been prosperity and splendor here. In the small space opened by the demon god, flowers bloomed abundantly and birds chirped in unison, but...
In a trance, Violet seemed to see the dark gray rampage of unleashed magical power turning into a flood, rushing from afar and overwhelming everything. Birds and animals fled in panic, wailing and praying for the arrival and salvation of the Benevolent Lord, but these cries were meaningless and received no response.
The tide of death and magic submerged everything. All life was destroyed in a matter of minutes, decomposed and merged into a part of the rampaging sea of magical power. Plants withered, vitality extinguished, and even the earth and sky were corroded into another color.
The Catastrophe of Magic, a despairing disaster that occurred a thousand years ago.
“Is this... the lingering memory of this place...” The priestess’s expression turned solemn.
Such a despairing sight was merely a fraction of the negative impact brought about by the fall of a deity, the demon god Olivia...
“Alright, let’s move forward.”
To prevent such despair from descending upon another world once again, Violet refrained from boasting further and voluntarily summoned the embodiment of light, maintaining its basic height of three meters to follow closely behind.
She tightened her grip on the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】 and leaped out from the dried riverbed, beginning to explore ahead along the valley path.
The power of the SP was not restricted here, and the valley area was much smaller than expected. Soon enough, the priestess found her target.
