Chapter 1388 The Flame Emperor’s Trump Card?

-----
"T-This can't be true…!" The Flame Emperor muttered.
His entire soul started shattering apart, several pieces of it were flying away, his strength beginning to quickly fade away. The blazing body he had created to become even stronger ended being his ultimate demise, as it exposed his soul too much when it took damage.
And with a sword made out of the materialization of the Origin Flames, Fire Dragon Souls, and Surtr's own scales and blood, the very last Fire Dragon managed to overpower the Flame Emperor.
"I-I can't… die like this…! This…! Urgh…!"
No matter how hard the Ancient Fire Giant tried to struggle, his struggle seemed to be absolutely pointless. His Black Flames were being overpowered by Surtr's Origin Flames and Drake's Beginning Flames.
The later were much weaker, he could overpower them on his own. However, because of Surtr's appearance, the Beginning Flames became an unexpected boost to Surtr's Origin Flames, that even now were slightly weaker than his Flames of the End!
Both Magical Flames are said to be the strongest types of Fire Magic, whose origins' are not from the Dragons, nor even the World of Yggdrasil.
The origin of these Flames was from a certain someone, the pinnacle of Fire Wielding Gods, the Venerable of Flames who governed the world with his Blazing Wrath in the past.
"These damn flames that took us so long to acquire…" The Flame Emperor thought. "Will it all be for nothing?! Will it be for- Huh?"
However, in the few seconds left he had, suddenly, he felt something! The connection with the Four Hounds he had created long ago suddenly started to waver, until all four shattered.
Their lives were taken away!
"The Four Hounds… died?!"
The Flame Emperor muttered these words as his body and soul fell from the skies, Surtr piercing them with his sword.
"Yeah! Too bad for you, old man!" Laughed Surtr. "And now you're the one that's going to go join them in HELL!"
Surtr swung his sword several times, dividing the Flame Emperor soul even more, slicing it apart as he groaned in agony!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"GRAAAAAAHHHH… Hah…!"
However, in between his screams of agony, Surtr suddenly felt… unease! The Flame Emperor started to laugh as he was sliced into pieces.
"Why is he laughing?!" Surtr thought, seconds before something happened.
FLAAAAAASSSH!
A bright, red light emerged from all of the Flame Emperor's Soul Fragments, as tendrils of infernal flames emerged out of them all, merging together!
"What the…?!"
Surtr was taken aback, but before he could properly react, something even crazier happened! It felt as if the Flame Emperor was regaining power out of nowhere.
"Haha… HAHAHAHA! You've given me a favor for killing those useless dogs, you foolish lizards!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
A powerful shockwave of Divine Black Flames emerged out of the Flame Emperor as his soul reconstructed itself, Surtr was overwhelmed, quickly thrown away at an incredibly fast speed!
"Gruuaaargghh…!"
Drake quickly flew to his rescue, grabbing him as he flew across the skies, the two fell into silence as they saw the Flame Emperor be "reborn"!
Four different powers he did not originally possess began swirling inside of his soul, the voices of the Four Hounds screaming in agony as their ethereal forms were devoured.
His blazing body took a new shape and colors as countless purple flames melded with his black flames, swirling into a gigantic titan made of infernal fire.
The blazing body he had acquired evolved, as the Poisonous Flames of Jormungandr merged with his Primordial Flames of the End.
And then, to top it off, several monstrous Infernal Beasts heads, limbs, tails, and eyes started popping out of his blazing body constantly, an army of monsters made of these deadly flames was being created!
His body then gained a shining red armor, demonic in appearance, alongside a huge red and silver sword, overflowing with powerful bright sunlight!
"This bastard… He acquired the powers of the Four Hounds after they were defeated?!" Benladann asked in shock in the distance, as she was finished crushing a dozen Rank 9 Divine Beasts fused with Miranda.
"T-This can't be! But their souls were destroyed, I felt it!" Miranda said in surprise.
"That armor and that sword… they're identical to the equipment that guy you killed was using! Right?" Yuki wondered, standing over the corpse of a Divine Beast.
"Y-Yeah…" Pekora muttered. "But how? To attain their powers he should had at least eaten their souls, but their souls were destroyed by us!"
"Didn't we eat him?! But even then, we didn't get any power from him…" Tisha suddenly realized something that they should had noticed earlier.
"But Blaze's gone! How come her powers… and even her voice is within that monster?!" Hector couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.
"That bastard… What kind of trick did he pull out on us?!" Larzak roared.
"Was his plan to have his own loyal servants get killed?! What sort of monster is he…" Kraxka sighed.
"The sort of monster that's called the Flame Emperor…" Sighed Agni. "A monster like him… Is capable of anything."
"So this was his plan all along?" Leona wondered.
"T-Those are the powers of the girl we slain!" Said Benladra, pointing at the distance.
"Yeah…" Kate nodded. "This is bad, we need to go help papa."
"Right!" Benladra nodded.
"That pressure… And that mighty sword…" Ruby sighed. "Even that guy's powers are there…"
"This is… unexpected beyond belief." Rakasha said.
The Flame Emperor kept laughing through his transformation, constantly sending shockwaves of energy that didn't allow anybody to get closer to him.
Once his transformation finished, a titan covered on blazing red armor, which slowly turned deep black, holding a sword that could slice a mountain, surrounded by hundreds of Infernal Beasts made of Black and Purple Flames emerged.
Not only did he exude the already overwhelming power of Black Flames of the End, but the powers of his subordinates merged with them, turning his strength into something utterly Demonic.
"You have served me well, my hounds." The Flame Emperor laughed. "Now let me avenge you with the powers you've lend to me!"
