Rebirth : The Alchemist's Path

Upon hearing the voice, Amiya and the others quickly looked toward Sylvus.

When they saw Sylvus smiling, everyone frowned deeply.

"You… you're Sylvus!"

A few seconds later, Amiya came to her senses, looking at Sylvus with cold eyes.

"Since Lord Amiya recognizes me, I don't need to introduce myself," Sylvus said with a slight smile.

"It seems your injuries are pretty severe. How about healing up first?"

Hearing this, Amiya almost spat out blood again.

Is this guy serious? He's the one who crushed us, yet now he has the audacity to suggest we heal?

Amiya couldn't believe how quickly Sylvus had arrived. Without even seeing him in person, Sylvus had already destroyed the main temple of the Fallen Temple.

Even with so many powerful beings inside, all were slain, their bodies nowhere to be found.

As this thought crossed his mind, Amiya's hatred for Sylvus deepened, but more than that, there was fear.

This battle had just begun, and the Fallen Temple had already suffered such heavy losses.

He doubted whether he was truly Sylvus' match.

"You're Sylvus? How dare you act so recklessly! If you surrender now, perhaps we might spare your life!"

At that moment, Yegis stood up, his face full of cold intent as he glared at Sylvus.

Belinda and the other Deity Emperor experts also suppressed their injuries, eyes filled with killing intent as they looked toward Sylvus.

They knew this human was not to be underestimated.

"You don't seem to be from the Fallen Angels, are you?" Sylvus looked at Yegis and asked.

"That's right, I am Yegis, the Death Lord of the Temple of Death. This is Belinda, Death Lord of the Temple of the Sun. With the three Death Lords here, do you think you stand a chance?"

Yegis snorted coldly.

Sylvus narrowed his eyes. So Amiya had indeed called for reinforcements, but it was still a group of weaklings.

"Your Death Lord isn't here?" Sylvus asked casually, not in a hurry to attack.

"You think you're worthy of our Death Lord making a move?" Yegis sneered.

In his view, though Sylvus had used some unknown powerful method to destroy the Fallen Temple, it was merely a sneak attack.

If they had been prepared, Sylvus wouldn't have been able to take down the Fallen Temple.

Even if Sylvus was a Nine-Star Deity Emperor, Yegis didn't fear him. After all, there were more than twenty Deity Emperors here, more than enough to capture Sylvus.

Sylvus' eyes showed a hint of disappointment. He had hoped the Death Lord would come, so he could kill him on the spot.

"If the Death Lord isn't coming, then you all will die here today," Sylvus said with a smile.

At that moment, the system's voice rang out:

[System Notice: The host has successfully used the Deity Emperor Card. For the next hour, the host will temporarily possess the Nine-Star Deity Emperor realm.]

"..."

As the system's words fell, an immense aura erupted from Sylvus' body. The divine energy around them surged toward him, and in an instant, he reached the Nine-Star Deity Emperor realm.

"The power of a Deity Emperor is truly incredible!"

Sylvus closed his eyes briefly, enjoying the sensation.

At that moment, he felt like he only needed a single thought, and the surrounding space would shatter.

Even the heavens and earth would bow before him.

"A Nine-Star Deity Emperor! So he really is a Deity Emperor!"

Sensing the aura coming from Sylvus, Amiya's expression turned grim.

Although a Nine-Star Deity Emperor was powerful, there were three Nine-Star Deity Emperors here, along with more than ten other Deity Emperors.

With their combined strength, taking down Sylvus shouldn't be difficult.

However, there was a problem. Even though they had the numbers, a Nine-Star Deity Emperor could escape if he wished, especially since they were already wounded.

After all, they had suffered some injuries earlier.

"No wonder you're so arrogant. You possess such power," Yegis said, his once-dismissive gaze now serious.

As a fellow Nine-Star Deity Emperor, Yegis understood just how terrifying the battle potential at this level was.

If they engaged in a fight, even if they managed to capture Sylvus, the entire Fallen City would likely be razed to the ground.

Not only that, but all the Fallen Angels within the city would perish as well.

"Such a cunning move… Telling Amiya you would destroy the Fallen Temple in three days, making him wait in Fallen City, only to launch a surprise attack and severely wound us.

Now, if we fight here in the city, you could leave anytime, while the Fallen Angel Clan would suffer enormous losses."

Belinda and the others thought this, their gazes shifting to Amiya.

...

Whether to fight or retreat was up to Amiya.

Amiya, naturally, had thought of these issues, his heart filled with rage.

If they didn't fight, they couldn't avenge the losses the Fallen Angel Clan had suffered.

But if they fought, the entire Fallen City would be destroyed, and even if they managed to kill Sylvus, the Fallen Angel Clan would suffer even more.

"Stop thinking about it. Whether we fight or not, it's up to me, isn't it?"

Seeing their hesitation, Sylvus laughed. He could guess what was going through their minds.

Unfortunately for them, he hadn't planned on leaving anyone alive from the start. His goal was to wipe out the entire Fallen Angel Clan.

Hearing Sylvus' words, Amiya and the others snapped back to reality.

Right… they didn't get to decide.

Even if they wanted to avoid a fight, Sylvus wouldn't agree.

After all, he came here with the sole purpose of exterminating the Fallen Angel Clan.

"Sylvus, if you're willing to retreat, our Fallen Angel Clan will never cross paths with you again!"

Amiya gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Belinda and the others frowned.

They hadn't expected Amiya to back down so easily.

But given the current state of the Fallen Angels, it was understandable.

If they continued to fight, the Fallen Angel Clan might truly face extinction.

"I'm sorry, but the Fallen Angel Clan must die," Sylvus said with a cold smile.

"Sylvus, we have no personal grievances, and you've already killed so many of our people. You—"

"I said you must die! Inferno of Heaven's Flames!"

Amiya tried to continue, but Sylvus cut him off.

He had no personal hatred for the Fallen Angel Clan, but the system had assigned him the task.

Sylvus wasn't the kind of person who would spare anyone just because there was no personal grudge. He only did what benefitted him.

[System Notice: The host has successfully used the one-time magic spell 'Inferno of Heaven's Flames'. The spell is descending!]

"..."

As the system's voice fell, the sky above Fallen City was instantly covered in fiery clouds.

An endless sea of flames burned in the heavens above.

The overwhelming energy made every living being in Fallen City turn pale with fear.
