In fact, both of their bodies began to emit a dazzling red light, starting to gather the Celestial Envoy's own power.
Meanwhile, the Geiger counter on Kaltsit's body was already emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
All things seemed to burn in Ifrit's hands; she briefly wielded the power of a deity. The endless authority and might made Ifrit feel somewhat lightheaded.
However, feeling the somewhat rough, powerful hand that enveloped her small hand, Ifrit quickly sobered up.
She didn't care about power at all. Compared to the authority of a god, she cared more about the people she loved.
Goki, Saria, Silence, Ptilopsis… she wanted to stay with everyone forever! Just like—family!
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"
Looking at the deformed monster, Ifrit took a step forward without fear—from now on, she would fight for her family!
"…Roar!"
Seemingly sensing that the Originium energy on its body was being torn and devoured by the two little ones in front of it, having lost the Star God's control and left with only a single self-destruct command, it, no different from a beast, immediately sprang into action.
It lunged forward, wanting to rely on its own weight to smash through the Rhine Lab building, detonate its Originium Arts, and make everyone in the city its burial companions.
"Then… come on!"
Facing the Celestial Envoy, which was rushing towards them like a collapsing building, Goki and Ifrit exchanged glances, each extended a hand, and fiercely clenched it in the Void Realm.
Boom—
The illusory shadow of the Ifrit instantly transformed into a physical entity.
A flaming humanoid, similar to the Celestial Envoy, with huge, curved horns and a body made entirely of flames, suddenly used both hands to grip the Celestial Envoy's head.
No matter how the surrounding storm raged, this flame did not diminish in the slightest.
It was so dazzling, so scorching, but this was no longer the power of a non-human entity, but the ability belonging to both Goki and Ifrit!
Perhaps the power of the two was not enough to fully replicate the God of Burning Wind's full-strength strike, but, combined with the power contained within that blazing skull… it was enough!
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—Boom!
Gripping the Celestial Envoy's large head, the Ifrit's body suddenly exerted force, throwing the Celestial Envoy's hundreds of tons of body high into the sky, hundreds of meters up, causing Skadi's eyes to light up.
Then the Ifrit opened its burning mouth and shot a dazzling beam of light at the Celestial Envoy's head!
Rumble rumble rumble—
The scorching pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, like an erupting volcano, vast and irresistible. Like Originium Arts composed purely of brute force, it instantly shattered the Celestial Envoy's long-brewing Spell.
This was the power of the God of Burning Wind. It represented the most primitive and ancient flames of this world, regardless of good or evil, right or wrong. It only wanted to do one thing—
To burn, to glow, to let the entire world be covered by warm flames, to resist the coldness of the entire Universe!
The desolation of the Universe was meaningless; the fiercely burning flames and the warmth of a loved one's hand were enough to combat humanity's loneliness among the stars!
The blue skin began to fester under the crimson flames, and before it could even fall, the Celestial Envoy was completely incinerated into a shower of starlight.
The clouds were easily pierced by this strike, revealing the clear high sky. The storm seemed to have been evaporated by the irresistible heat of this scorching temperature.
"Phew—it, it worked. Is this my power, Brother Goki?!"
Looking at the piercing sunlight streaming through the pierced dark clouds, Ifrit's body went limp. Goki, also feeling his body drained, quickly knelt beside her and held her in his arms.
"Yes, this is your power. From now on, you can use it to protect Saria and Silence… my Ifrit Princess."
Goki smiled slightly, then suddenly noticed something. He pulled out the "omen of ibytas" from his embrace and flung it out the window.
A tentacle unfurled, and Goki reeled in several small, glowing objects that were falling in the sunlight.
He saw familiar Caryll Runes, and a profound and intricate gem emblem, like an eye.
"Ha, this trip wasn't in vain after all—everyone, it seems… this mess has finally been cleaned up."
Goki looked up at Skadi, who was excitedly running over, and the other girls, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Director… if you don't give me an extra month's salary for this, it's a bit unreasonable, isn't it~~"
On this day, everyone in Rhine Lab, no, everyone in the entire high-tech development zone, witnessed the eruption of flames.
This incident was called… the Flame Demon Incident.
