The Golden Crow's claws, as brilliant as gold, plunged deep into the King of Fear's wing roots, tearing at his muscles and causing his purplish-black demonic blood and dark muscles to spill out. The immense pain made the King of Fear struggle wildly. The eyeless Poison Dragon at its tail thrashed about, spewing endless poisonous fire towards the Golden Crow.
At the same time, a third claw shot out, directly pinning the Poison Dragon underfoot. Then, divine fire flowed like a river, continuously erupting onto the Poison Dragon. The golden flames, like glass, burned the Poison Dragon inside and out, and the scorching flames even burrowed into its head through the holes.
The Poison Dragon wailed constantly under the Solar Divine Fire's scorching heat, the blind poisonous fire flowing from its mouth unable to even resist the divine fire's power. In a short while, the Poison Dragon could no longer even struggle. The King of Fear had lost control of it, and it was practically dead.
The King of Fear, as the main body, was in an even worse state. His scales had all exploded, and deep cracks, like ravines, appeared on his huge body. Golden flames seeped out from the gaps, and he screamed in agony, gradually losing the ability to resist.
In this situation, the King of Fear no longer had his previous imposing manner. His six massive arms flailed wildly, but he instinctively avoided the Golden Crow's raging flames. He began to shout loudly.
"Stop, stop! I surrender, I admit defeat!"
The Golden Crow stopped its actions, and the scorching divine fire also subsided slightly. It looked down at the demon at its feet, which was now wagging its tail, begging for mercy, and rebuked, "Hand over the soul I want!"
"Here, here. Take them all!" Compared to his own life, a mere soul was nothing. The King of Fear understood this very well. Almost without thinking, he offered up his precious collection.
Gloomy figures emerged from his three pairs of eyes, floating into the air with a faint glow. Zhou Yi saw clearly that within these figures were the targets he sought: Logan, Quicksilver, and Mystique. Of course, there were others as well. Zhou Yi didn't recognize these people, but he still controlled the Golden Crow, swallowing all the souls into its mouth.
Watching the Golden Crow consume the souls he had collected, the King of Fear couldn't help but swallow. These were his most cherished souls; he was even reluctant to devour all their unique characteristics at once, wanting to savor them slowly. But he never expected that these souls would end up benefiting others.
To say he had no regrets would be an absolute lie. However, he wouldn't show this expression on his face. Instead, he forced a smile onto his face, speaking in a flattering tone.
"Great King of Light, powerful Solar God. You have obtained what you wanted. Can you allow the humble Ediaboloz to leave? As your defeated subordinate, I earnestly implore your forgiveness and tolerance!"
The Golden Crow's huge bird head tilted slightly. From its golden, shining eyes, the submissive King of Fear saw a look he least wanted to see: mockery!
Acting immediately, the King of Fear roared. He mustered all his strength to flip his body, trying to shake off the Golden Crow that was standing on his back. But a surging, immense force suddenly erupted, crushing all the strength he had accumulated in an instant. He desperately turned his head, but what he saw made his heart and liver split.
The majestic Golden Crow raised its wings high behind him. Endless golden flames began to swirl and gather around it, until the Golden Crow's figure was no longer visible, and all that could be seen was a dazzling, brilliant light.
A massive sphere slowly materialized above the King of Fear.
The perfectly round sphere radiated the most dazzling light. Golden flames flowed across its surface like an ocean, occasionally sending out a few leaping flames that traced perfect arcs, bursting with terrifying heat and intense light.
The King of Fear's body was prostrate beneath the sphere. Although the Golden Crow's form had vanished, he was still unable to move. The surrounding flames scraped against his body, causing his strong and massive body to slowly turn into charcoal, while the sphere's immense mass caused his entire being to begin to collapse and disintegrate.
The King of Fear was filled with nothing but fear. At this moment, all of his mind was occupied by a great creation. He wanted to shout, but he couldn't do anything. Because in the next moment, he lost the ability to speak.
Boundless light and terrifying heat erupted with the force of a landslide. The thick clouds in the sky dissipated instantly in this light. Mountains were toppled, and everything on the earth was flattened. The Earth's crust could not withstand the immense pressure and began to collapse and sink. Volcanoes, magma, and even the King of Fear, almost everything, turned to ashes in this endless impact of light and heat.
Looking around, the world turned gold in an instant, leaving only gold. All other colors faded and were destroyed in the golden wash.
As the gold began to recede, only nothingness remained. Looking around, there was only the ancient, deep universe in the sky and the exposed, still-surging core of the planet beneath his feet.
As the sphere unleashed this terrifying power, the sphere transformed by the Golden Crow began to shrink. The golden ocean thinned, and the light and flames no longer gathered, but rapidly dissipated into the Void. When all of this converged into a small core, a black figure slowly emerged.
Having dispelled the Golden Crow's avatar, Zhou Yi's true form appeared in this world. The moment he appeared, he couldn't help but clutch his head.
He didn't remember anything that had just happened. When he started to gather all his Divine Power involuntarily, his mind went blank. It was as if some kind of will had replaced his existence, and everything else he did was the action of that will.
What happened? He had doubts and fear in his heart. He saw everything before him, and the near-apocalyptic scene left him stunned and wary. He didn't believe he had done it, but the harsh reality forced him to believe.
This power, capable of destroying the world, did indeed come from him. But when he discovered this truth, he began to understand Professor Charles's actions.
When the world you're in, everything around you, your friends, your family, and countless lives become fragile to you, and might be destroyed by the slightest movement. You definitely wouldn't feel pride and arrogance in your heart, because at that moment, you would only feel fear and worry.
Fear of accidentally destroying your own world, and worry that you might lose everything you cherish because of a moment of carelessness. Ordinary people might find it hard to understand this feeling, but now, it was genuinely present in Zhou Yi's heart.
He didn't know what to do, nor did he know the reason behind all of this. If it all came from the power of the gods, then he would rather be an ordinary person like he was at the beginning than a god like he was now. But, there was never a possibility of choice.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi concealed this immense trouble in his heart. This would be a huge problem, but now was definitely not a good time to solve it. There was still a crisis waiting for him to solve in his world; he didn't have time to waste here.
Carefully manipulating his Divine Power, he tore open a Void rift in front of him. Suddenly, a flash of light caught his attention. Focusing, he saw a strange Gem appear in mid-air, and it carried a hint of the Void.
It seemed that the Gem had emerged from the Void into reality due to the Void rift he had opened. This alone was enough to prove the Gem's extraordinary nature.
Zhou Yi reached out and picked up the Gem, examining it closely. It was a strange, dull yellow color, and its shape was also unusual, pointed at both ends and rounded in the middle, like a slightly open eye. A peculiar power emanated continuously from the Gem, a power that seemed to have a bewitching magic.
Although he didn't know what this Gem was, Zhou Yi still put it away. Then, he wrapped his body in a thin layer of Divine Power and plunged into the Void rift. No matter the reason, he had made up his mind. Unless he had mastered all the mysteries of Divine Power, he would never transform into the Golden Crow again. That was simply too dangerous.
Time and space shifted, the Void flowed. When he was once again standing on solid ground, Zhou Yi had returned to the cell where Erisa was held. Erisa was still unconscious on the ground; it seemed he hadn't been gone for too long.
He opened his palm, and specks of faint light emerged from his hand, enveloped by Divine Power. Those were the souls he had seized, protected by his divinity and stored in the Void. And now, it was time for them to return.
These souls seemed to sense their own bodies; they flickered slightly and turned into blurry shadows, disappearing before Zhou Yi.
Watching these souls depart, Zhou Yi grabbed Erisa from the ground. He used the power of the Solar Blessing to repair her body while rushing towards the direction of the Scarlet Witch.
He couldn't just leave the girl here. Aside from everything else, her frail appearance suggested she'd likely freeze to death in this cold. Moreover, her strange abilities wouldn't allow him to simply leave her. Today, a King of Fear had possessed her; tomorrow, a King of Destruction might appear. This world was fragile and couldn't withstand these demons from other dimensions messing around.
It was wisest to take her with him and find a suitable place to settle this problematic person.
