Chapter 619: The Flames of the Fire Domain Crowned as King

Barbatos encountered Lady Xidi and Gimmerly halfway.

"Humph!"

The goddess tilted her slender head away, refusing to look at that detestable being.

As longtime rivals sharing the "Giant God Association" alliance, Barbatos still refused Lady Xidi any courtesy.

He’d suffered greatly from this woman’s schemes before, enduring repeated humiliations.

As for Lady Xidi’s reaction…

"…"

None whatsoever.

She carried on as if noticing nothing.

"You insufferable creature!"

Barbatos grew even angrier.

Worse still, this was frustration simmering without release.

"Pfft…"

Gimmerly, perched on Barbatos’s back, muffled her long beak with her wings.

Yet her Soul’s mocking laughter reached Barbatos’s ears clearly.

"You!"

"You sisters!"

"Just you wait."

Barbatos ground his teeth.

He vowed to make these two vexing women suffer dearly someday!

"Enough."

"Cease this bickering."

Lady Xidi finally spoke, but her words nearly choked Barbatos.

That icy, condescending tone paired with child-scolding words spiked his blood pressure instantly.

"Hrr…"

A warning growl rumbled from his throat.

Facing this "lifelong nemesis" alone, Barbatos inexplicably lost all divine composure and grace.

Not that he wanted to fight now.

Victory was clearly impossible…

Lady Xidi possessed the mightiest Divine Body throughout all chaos!

Even the Giant God’s Divine Body paled before hers.

Although its overall form resembled Barbatos’s, it was a whole circle larger than Barbatos’s Divine Body!

Just looking at it filled Barbatos with despair.

However, the sudden light ahead also halted the battle spirit of the chaos goddess.

"Crack—!"

Strange and sharp sounds came forth.

This odd noise made Barbatos extremely uncomfortable.

"Ugh… rrrr…"

He lowered his head and let out a deep roar.

"Boom—Boom—!"

His strong legs trembled and slowly retreated.

What surprised him more was that this embarrassing retreat didn’t seem commanded by his Soul; instead, some strange "memory" or "instinct" awakened within his Divine Body was forcing him to pull back!

He felt ashamed.

After all, he was embarrassing himself again in front of his old rival, Lady Xidi.

However…

"Roar— hiss—!"

Lady Xidi also took a slight step back.

It seemed that the fear from the Divine Body affected not only Barbatos; even Lady Xidi, who was wise enough to partly understand the Giant God’s "Great Plan," couldn’t escape its grip.

As for Gimmerly, it was even more so.

She clung tightly to Lady Xidi’s back, looking quite frightened.

But unlike the "pure" fear of Lady Xidi and Barbatos, Gimmerly felt a strange mix of eagerness and excitement toward that burning sensation!?

It was contradictory.

Yet, this was reality.

The three goddesses glanced at each other and then continued forward.

Next, they witnessed an unforgettable sight—the flames of the Fire Domain soared into the sky, piercing the hazy ether rain curtain and spreading heat across a vast area.

Countless tiny divine ranks gathered into a "cloud of divine ranks," rolling upward in the void.

But they quickly encountered the onslaught of the etheric storm, plummeting into the Primal Mud.

Perhaps in the future, these tiny divine ranks would develop into strange "demigod creatures" like the "Impure Spirits"; or they might become nutrients for the World Tree or other unique deities.

And the source of these "tiny divine ranks," driving them upward, was the blazing Fire Domain that bloomed, breathed, and roared upon the Primordial Earth and City of Dimensions!

It bit, roared, and devoured everything.

The World Tree was consumed, and the bodies of deities were left with countless wounds.

The law substance of Steel Skin was pierced like a joke, and magic fat turned into liquid, flowing endlessly; they roared with terrifying explosions rivaling forbidden spells.

And leading it all, standing proudly before the light of the Fire Domain, was the Giant God!

Though he crouched on all fours, the Fire Domain’s light stretched his shadow long, casting his supreme divine might upon the three goddesses. Wherever the shadow fell became the Giant God’s domain; his divine power resonated through their Souls. Not aggressive, yet courteous and unmistakable—it proclaimed his sovereignty! Flames billowing endlessly into the void seemed to crown this Great Giant God, incomprehensible to all deities, with a leaping laurel wreath!

Barbatos bowed his head. This time, without complaint, he sincerely paid homage to the Giant God. "I once believed the Giant God’s peak resembled Barbatos at his full power. Seeing this today reveals an immeasurable gulf. Only such an awe-inspiring and venerable demon god deserves the title ‘First’."

Xidi spoke less than Barbatos. She too lowered her stance, uttering just one word: "King!"

Then the Giant God responded. "Buzz—!" Fire Domain flames surged violently as overwhelming divine might erupted, followed by terrifying single-syllable magic language: "Lai!" "Chi!" "Guo!" "Rou!"

"Ah…"

"Aren’t these my clients?"

Trilobite eyed the two… no, three approaching large animals.

"Hmm… Sinosaurus, Baryonyx, and Giant Kunpeng Pterosaur. All my masterpieces." Though his interests were broad, trilobites and Mesozoic archosaurs remained his passion—childhood fascination with these magnificent creatures had shaped his career.

"So… why visit my home? Huh? Still scared? Am I that frightening?" Trilobite pondered. Neither Sinosaurus, Baryonyx, nor Kunpeng Pterosaur needed to fear him. Sinosaurus matched his size, perhaps slightly larger. In combat, his saber teeth offered limited advantage—like the saber-toothed tiger that fought evenly with American lions. Size and combat "software" decided such battles.

As for Baryonyx… he should be the wary one. Against the Baryonyx lady, he felt like a small horse pulling a big cart—she held all initiative! Kunpeng Pterosaur had least reason to fear him—it could fly!

"Oh…" After reflection, Trilobite realized their fear stemmed not from him, but the flames behind him. "Fine. Rare roasted meat. How about…" He gazed at his three favorite clients. "Come! Have some barbecue!"

This wasn’t backing down. Treating clients to strengthen bonds was normal. Besides—one must give before receiving!
