Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Fallen Goddess
In the heart of the Abyss, there was a domain known as Pyrestorm Isle. A massive, floating castle hovered in the sky, its jagged towers silhouetted against the swirling flames that engulfed the horizon.
Below, the land was scorched and charred, with rivers of molten lava flowing through cracks in the ground.
The only inhabitants of this fiery realm were the Pyrognomes—red-skinned, humanoid creatures as tall as humans, with elongated ears, red eyes, and flames dancing along their spines. Some trembled in fear, others floated in the air, their eyes glued to the scene above.
High above the floating castle, a woman hovered in midair, her body surrounded by a fiery aura. Her eyes glowed a fierce red, and her long, flowing hair danced wildly in the searing winds.
This was Sirenith, the fallen goddess of flame and chaos. She was in a fury, her hands constantly unleashing blasts of fire in every direction, turning the sky into a storm of flame.
"I want to LEAVE! I will not stay trapped in this wretched domain!"
Sirenith's voice echoed across the land, her rage palpable. She sent another wave of flames toward the castle below, shaking its foundations. Several Pyrognomes, unlucky enough to be in its path, were incinerated instantly, their remains reduced to ash.
Near the castle, a group of Pyrognomes watched the spectacle from a distance. One of them, trembling, decided to float closer to the enraged goddess, hoping to reason with her.
"My Lady Sirenith, please calm down!" the Pyrognome begged, its voice shaking. "There is no need for such destruction. You will find a way out, surely!"
Sirenith's gaze snapped to the creature, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "You dare tell me to calm down?" she hissed, her voice dripping with venom.
Before the Pyrognome could respond, Sirenith raised her hand, and a fiery blast shot from her palm, striking the creature in the chest. The force of the blast sent it tumbling backward, its red skin now scorched black, and its hair alight with fire. The creature screamed, flailing helplessly as flames consumed it.
Nearby, a few other Pyrognomes hurriedly floated over to help. "Quick, put it out! Put it out!" one of them shouted as they doused the flames with a dark mist.
Sirenith watched them for a moment, her expression twisted with frustration. "Pathetic," she spat, her voice booming across the landscape.
"None of you understand! None of you can help me leave this domain! I will burn everything to ashes if I must!"
The Pyrognomes cowered, backing away from her in fear. Above them, the sky continued to burn with the heat of Sirenith's uncontrollable rage.

Another Pyrognome, larger than the others with deep red scales and horns, cautiously approached, his head bowed in submission.
"My Lady, if you continue like this, the entire domain will crumble. Please, let us help you find a way to break free without destroying everything."
For a moment, Sirenith paused, her flames dimming slightly as she considered his words. Then, with a snarl, she unleashed another burst of fire at the castle, scorching its once-majestic walls.
"Silence! If I cannot leave, then I will see this entire realm reduced to dust!"
As the Pyrognomes scrambled to avoid the falling debris, Sirenith let out a furious scream, her flames intensifying once more, setting the entire sky ablaze. The chaos below continued, with her servants either fleeing for their lives or desperately trying to calm their furious goddess.
Sirenith turned sharply as she sensed something approaching from behind. A dark shape was rapidly moving toward her, and without hesitation, she raised her hand, sending a fiery blast in its direction. The object vanished, consumed by her flames. However, when the heat cleared, she noticed what it is.
Her eyes narrowed in confusion. Dark flame?
Suddenly, the distant shouting of her servants broke her thoughts. "A dragon! There's a dragon, my lady!"
Beside her, her right-hand Pyrognome, still trembling, received a sharp slap on the head. He looked up at Sirenith in shock.
"Aww, my lady, why?!"
"I can see it and it's a hydra can you see it's heads? so don't shout in my ear! Now, go down there!" she commanded coldly.
The Pyrognome, teary-eyed, "Huhuu Yes, My lady" and floated down reluctantly, casting worried glances at the looming threat in the sky.
Not too far away, a massive silver-scaled dragon with nine heads came to a halt in midair, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light. Sirenith's attention shifted to the figure standing on the dragon's back.
From the sky above, a Cerberus with three heads swooped down, circling them before landing. The figure walked through the air as if it were solid ground, descending slowly toward Sirenith, while the dragon landed on the charred ground below.
"Who do you think you are to enter my domain without permission?!" Sirenith's voice boomed, fury crackling in the air around her.
The figure approached closer, his face cold and emotionless. "I see," he said calmly, "you didn't recognize me."
Sirenith's eyes flared brighter, trying to place the stranger. There was something familiar about him, something that tugged at her memory, yet she couldn't quite grasp it.
"Recognize you? You're nothing but an intruder. Speak your name before I turn you to ash!"
The man remained unphased, his gaze steady.
Sirenith snarled, the flames around her growing hotter, her temper rising. "How dare you not answer me?!"
Sirenith's eyes burned with fury as the realization hit her. She clenched her fists, the flames around her roaring higher as she glared at the man standing so calmly before her.
"I am the Abyss Lord,"
"You dare claiming the title of Abyss Lord?" she spat, "You think you can waltz into my domain and wield that title against me?"
She raised her arms, summoning a massive wave of fire that towered above her like an inferno.
"I have been imprisoned in this domain for far too long," she snarled. "I will unleash all of my anger and hatred on you, and when I'm done, there will be nothing left but ashes!"
With a deafening scream, Sirenith hurled the blazing inferno at him. The sky burned with the sheer heat of her flames, and the Pyrognomes below scattered in panic, shielding themselves from the searing winds.
The man raised his hand, and a dark, swirling energy formed around him, engulfing the flames that approached. As the fire clashed with his energy, the dark flames absorbed Sirenith's fire, leaving nothing behind but a swirling vortex of darkness.
Sirenith's eyes widened in shock as her attack was neutralized so effortlessly. "What… how?"
Without warning, he shot a torrent of dark fire straight toward her. Sirenith barely had time to react, throwing up a shield of flame in front of her. The two forces collided, the sky erupting into a storm of fire and shadow as they battled for dominance.
"You think your flame can match mine?" Sirenith roared, pushing back with all her might, her fiery aura intensifying. "I am a fallen goddess! No one commands fire as I do!"
But the man simply stared at her, his voice calm yet menacing. "You're still the same, Serinith. Because of your impatient you almost indanger my world If you can't recognize me then I'll make you ."
In a flash, he appeared in front of her, his hand ignited with dark flames. He struck her with a powerful blast, sending her hurtling through the air. Sirenith crashed into the floating castle with a resounding boom, the impact shaking the very foundations of her domain.
Groaning, she struggled to her feet, blood trickling from her lip. "You… you will pay for that," she hissed, her flames swirling more violently around her.
"I've heard enough of your arrogance," the man said, his voice cold and emotionless.
