'Did the fiends plan to catch Darryl all along? It turned out that the Innate Spirit Stone predicted Darryl to be the final nail in the coffin that would destroy the fiends.'
Empress Nuwa came to an immediate realization.
She did not understand why the fiends would hand over her master's fairy soul for Darryl, but she finally got her answer.
"Your Excellency!"
Just as Empress Nuwa was still reeling in shock, Thoth said, "Let me destroy that man."
"By all means!"
Archfiend Antigonus nodded.
Thoth said nothing more and walked forward at once. His fiend soul's power erupted, and the flame that manifested in the palm of his hand moved toward Darryl.
Within that flame was a bluish-green hue that looked particularly strange.
It was the Fiend Soul Flame that was unique to the fiends.
The Fiend Soul Flame was derived from the fiend soul. It could burn everything despite the lack of temperature.
'Crap!'
Empress Nuwa's heart trembled when she saw that, and her first thought was to stop it. Darryl must not die, for he was the key to defeating the fiends.
Unfortunately, it was all too late.
The next second, Archfiend Antigonus and the Fiend Martyrs were stunned. They watched as the Fiend Soul Flame ball floated toward Darryl, but it did not set him on fire. Instead, it disappeared into his body without a trace.
'How is that even possible?'
Thoth Fiend Martyr and the rest of the Fiend Martyrs immediately exchanged bewildered looks.
They could not fathom how their Fiend Soul Flame failed to burn Darryl.
'Huh?'
Empress Nuwa's eyes flickered in surprise as she watched the sequence of events.
