?
The silver thunder and red flames intertwined like two differently colored serpents.
Occasionally, sparks flew out, emanating a restless aura.
Owen's breathing quickened, and his body felt like a volcano on the verge of erupting, ready to obliterate mountains.
The air around him boiled, transforming into invisible waves that spread in all directions.
Even the mages around the Royal Arena, who were keeping a safe distance from Owen, were affected by these waves.
Their hairs stood on end as they stepped back, faces filled with terror and astonishment.
"What is Owen doing? Such terrifying fluctuations! I can even sense a taste of death from it!"
"Order of Thunder... No! There's another [Order]... It's the Order of Fire! My god, Owen has mastered two [Orders]!"
"Obtaining one [Order] is a rare and fortuitous opportunity. He has actually mastered two!" As the terrifying aura emanating from Owen grew stronger, the mages present realized the terrifying source-two completely different [Orders]!
After their initial shock, many mages were filled with jealousy and envy.
Moreover, Owen was attempting to fuse these two [Orders] into one!
Is this what he meant by defeating Tony with one move? Such madness!
They all knew that [Orders] were the fundamental elements that composed everything in the world, each representing an absolutely independent [Order]!
Forcing them to fuse could have unimaginable consequences.
No one knew what would happen if the Orders of Thunder and Fire were fused.
However, they did know that if the two Orders had a violent repulsive reaction, the mages who had come to watch could be caught in the crossfire!
Thinking of this, many cowardly and timid mages were already shaking like leaves, clamoring to leave quickly.
But the aura emanating from Owen was becoming more terrifying. Even just a wisp of it made them feel as though they were walking through hell, a bone-chilling sensation.
Unlike the crowd's terror, panic, and despair, Owen looked calmly at the two [Orders] merging in his chest.
He knew exactly what would happen when the two Orders fused.
Shortly after, the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire partially fused.
Owen sensed even more terrifying fluctuations from within.
With a thought, Owen pointed his finger, and a thin strand of intertwined silver and red lightning jumped from his fingertip.
The silver and red intertwined to finally form a small black cross the size of a palm.
The cross was exquisitely crafted, appearing as if it had been coated in crystal, making it gleam and shine.
The cross didn't appear large, and its aura was completely contained. However, in its presence, mana seemed to be forcibly obliterated, turning into a void. Even the space around it became unstable, filled with web-like black cracks, as if it couldn't bear the power it contained.
On the opposite side, Tony's aged face went through a series of changes, like a Sichuan opera face change. Tony's yellowed eyes were fixed on Owen. When the Order of Thunder surged from Owen, he sensed something was amiss. However, despite the Order of Thunder's strength, its wielder needed sufficient power to fully unleash its potential. Tony was confident that with his near platinum-tier strength, he could utterly crush Owen.
But when the Order of Fire emanated from Owen, Tony began to feel apprehensive and envious. Both the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire were known for their destructive and lethal power. Owen mastering both would significantly enhance his strength. If used in concert, even Tony would struggle to handle them.
Only then did Tony understand why Owen showed no fear or respect toward him.
It also explained why Carlos was so easily overpowered by Owen, despite both being top prodigies.
At this point, Tony's expression became serious.
He could no longer disregard or underestimate Owen.
When Owen recklessly fused the Order of Thunder and the Order of Fire, Tony was stunned, utterly flabbergasted.
He could faintly smell death emanating from Owen!
Especially when the black cross rushed towards him, Tony's breath almost stopped.
How could this be possible?! How could Owen successfully fuse two [Orders]?!
Tony's mind was in turmoil, feeling as if invisible chains were binding him, rendering him immobile as the cross drew nearer.
The space around him seemed to fold like paper, pressing in on him and absorbing all the mana around him.
His face turned pale, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
It felt as though any effort he made would be futile against the approaching cross, leaving him unable to muster even a shred of resistance.
As the cross, a fusion of the Orders of Thunder and Fire, bore down on Tony, everyone watching from the Royal Arena was horrified to see that in just an instant, the cross, with its space-shattering power, reached Tony.
Under Owen's control, it lifted Tony into the sky!
Whoosh~
The speed of the cross was incredibly fast, quickly carrying Tony high into the air until he became a tiny black dot.
Then, the cross suddenly expanded, radiating brilliant light and creating waves of heat in the sky, forming a giant, dazzling cross.
The light from this cross was even brighter than the sun!
The heat waves spreading from it caused the ground to tremble, and the mages present were pressed tightly into their seats, feeling as if they were being forcibly merged with the chairs
beneath them.
The ground beneath the intense heat waves began to emit billowing steam, turning red-hot, and developing fist-sized cracks as if all moisture had been evaporated in an instant. Weaker mages, unable to withstand the searing heat, saw their magical defenses collapse, white blisters forming on their bodies before they fainted with cracked lips.
Even Duke Charles and his peers were affected, their expressions grave as they felt the terrifying ripples of heat from the sky.
Their blood seemed to boil, their bodies unbearably hot, as if they might be vaporized.
It was unimaginable what kind of dreadful impact Tony was enduring at the center of the
cross.
As the crowd swallowed hard and looked on in terror, they suddenly saw the massive cross in the sky explode once more!
In that moment, countless bolts of lightning and flames intertwined and collided, illuminating the heavens and earth.
The spreading magical waves formed a gigantic light dome that radiated in all directions.
The sky thundered, and the ground shook and cracked, as if the apocalypse had arrived!
Under the intensely spreading white light, even the indestructible Royal Arena seemed to be
plowed through.
The cracked and fragmented ground split open along the path of the white light waves, resembling fish scales scorched by boiling oil, bursting and rising, extending to the horizon!
At this moment, under such a terrifying energy wave, not just the Royal Arena but the entire imperial capital was affected, lightly shaking.
All the mages within the city turned their attention to the chaotic light in the sky, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
They had never encountered anything like this in all their years in the capital!
...
In the palace, King Aldric suddenly looked up at the terrifying collision that turned the sky and earth white, his expression unusually serious and grim.
"Your Majesty, this disturbance was caused by Master Owen fusing two different [Orders]..." The powerful elders of the Council appeared beside King Aldric, carefully guarding him and reporting the latest information they had received.
"Owen?"
King Aldric was deeply shocked to learn that Owen was behind this.
What level was Owen at?
How could he unleash such terrifying power that it affected the entire capital!
King Aldric remained silent for a long time, his frown deepening.
"It seems Duke Charles's household has gained another monstrous talent. Given his prior engagement with Marry, I should have strongly supported it..."
Knowing the full story, King Aldric felt a pang of regret for having let Owen slip away.
If he had such a powerful figure under his command, he could have kept House Ravenwood
and other restless factions in check.
Unfortunately, there was no remedy for regret.
