GA: Chapter 92: The City of Tianhai Enshrouded in Ice, The Demon God Appears — "Demon God Manifestation: Essentia of Evil"
As the flames faded, a scarlet dragon of fire, formed entirely from blazing energy, coiled behind Qin Tian.
"Go."
With his calm voice, flames spread across the entire battlefield.
The fire dragon swam through the inferno. Amid endless screams, all mutated beasts were reduced to ashes within the flames.
At this moment, Qin Tian was a god within the fire.
"Next… cleanse all mutated beasts in the Imperial Capital."
From beneath the armor, his golden dragon eyes gleamed with cold light.
Meanwhile, in Tianhai City.
"Chirp… chirp chirp…"
Sharp, piercing sounds echoed through the corners of the city.
Countless mutated rats appeared from nowhere, forming a black tide that spread through the streets, devouring everything in their path.
Wherever they passed, everything turned to ruins.
The ground was covered in bones—human bones, and those of mutated beasts.
Mutated ants, cattle and sheep escaped from slaughterhouses, stray cats and dogs—all were devoured by the terrifying black tide of rats, reduced to skeletons.
"Damn it!"
Members of the Spiritual Energy Bureau who had arrived at the scene were furious.
They unleashed their abilities—earth surged, spikes rose from the ground, piercing through the rats.
But against the overwhelming swarm, it was like a drop in the ocean.
"Kill them!"
A bespectacled man with a scholarly appearance said coldly without turning his head.
Behind him, a large flock of mutated birds took flight like arrows, diving into the rat tide.
They were just one small part of the reinforcements.
All awakened individuals were fighting desperately to resist the invasion.
Although humanity had entered an era of universal awakening, most people's abilities were too weak.
Fear and panic robbed many of their will to fight.
But there were always a few among the ordinary people who, when danger arrived, stepped forward and fought.
Their strength might be small, but they still added a drop of resistance.
However, even so, the situation was still hopeless.
In cities, unlike wilderness, heavy weapons cannot be freely used.
If no regard was given to casualties, modern firepower could easily wipe out the swarm.
But… could they really sacrifice millions of lives?
Impossible.
So humanity could only rely on powerful awakened ones—those capable of turning the tide alone.
"Freeze!"
A cold voice rang out.
The temperature dropped instantly, and snow began to fall from the sky.
Terrifying ice rose from the ground, freezing the black swarm in an instant.
In the battlefield, a young girl stepped forward.
She wore a naval-style uniform and a black cap, with long ice-blue hair and a cold, noble aura.
Looking at the corpses scattered across the city, her gaze turned colder.
If not for her second awakening taking too long, this tragedy would not have happened.
Now that her power had completed its evolution, it was time to end this farce.
"Extreme Ice—Phoenix!"
A clear phoenix cry echoed through the sky.
With her as the center, endless ice spread outward, deliberately avoiding humans while freezing all mutated beasts.
In just over ten seconds, half of Tianhai City was covered in ice.
Even she, after using such power, looked slightly pale.
But soon, spiritual energy from the world surged into her body, quickly restoring her strength.
Normally, she could never achieve such large-scale freezing.
But after her second awakening…
Something else had appeared before her.
"Demon God Manifestation: Essentia of Evil."
During her evolution, a container of mysterious blood had appeared before her.
Her instincts were immediately drawn to it—her ability craved it desperately.
She touched it, and knowledge flooded her mind.
Its name: Demon God Manifestation—Essentia of Evil.
A terrifying ice-type imperial tool created from the blood of a super-dangerous creature said to live in the far north.
But she knew clearly—there was no such creature in this world.
More importantly… she recognized it.
Fire Feather had once told her that in Bai Xuan's created anime, there was a character very similar to her—both in appearance and ability.
A character named Esdeath, the Ice Queen.
And this was the power of that Ice Queen.
Just like Qin Tian guessed that the Flame Dragon Armor came from Bai Xuan, she also understood—
This "Essentia of Evil" was also Bai Xuan's creation.
Without hesitation, driven by instinct, she drank it.
Pain.
Extreme pain.
Not just physical—but spiritual.
It felt as if her entire being was being devoured by ice.
Her consciousness nearly faded into eternal sleep.
Only by her own awakened ability evolving under this power did she manage to survive.
Otherwise, she would already be dead.
In willpower, she was not as strong as Esdeath.
But that didn't matter anymore.
Now that she had it, she would surpass her.
If she couldn't surpass Esdeath… then there was no point in living.
"Within Tianhai City… not a single mutated beast is allowed to remain."
Her voice was cold and absolute.
