“The Blood Raven swept through Qianyu City. Hundreds of thousands of people living in the city have vanished without a trace. Not a single survivor had been left alive.”

In a corner of the Alliance of Southeast Asian Nations, many Humans reacted with solemn and icy expressions, their faces tinged with anger.

The Blood Raven was known as the most ruthless of the Mutant Birds on the coast of ASEAN. While he did not actively hunt Humans, wherever he passed by, death and destruction followed.

He was a beast of calamity in the truest sense.

“Damn it! Isn’t there anyone who can subdue it?”

“No.” A soldier familiar with the Blood Raven responded, “That Blood Raven is a Natural Disaster-Class Entity. His power far exceeds our imagination. Even our generals have failed repeatedly in their attempts to defeat it. We even invited Natural Disaster-Class Experts from China, but they returned in defeat. Rumor has it that the Blood Raven is at the peak of Tier-4, almost reaching the level of one of the ‘World’s Top Ten Natural Disasters’.”

At the mention of the Top Ten Natural Disasters, many Humans’ faces stiffened.

These Natural Disasters were beyond the realm of Humans. To this day, none of the Top Ten Natural Disasters had been defeated by Superhumans.

One could imagine what that implied.

Besides, if any of the Top Ten Natural Disasters truly wanted to, they could easily destroy a country.

Now, with the expansion of the continents, the emergence of tens of thousands of islands and thousands of nations, the loss of one or two nations might not be noticed.

However, if a major power like the ASEAN were to fall, it would be catastrophic.

Unfortunately, they currently had no solution.

The Blood Raven’s power had exceeded their understanding and was far beyond what they could contend with.

*Haaaaaa…* A heavy sigh echoed in the office as it fell into silence.

…

Shortly after, in a palace of ASEAN…

A young girl with a voluptuous figure and a purple veil covering her face suddenly smiled. “Just as I was worrying about the Blood Raven’s disaster, Master has given me such a great surprise.”

As she spoke, the girl slowly stood up.

*Whoosh…* Suddenly, with a gust of wind, flames engulfed the young girl’s figure, and she vanished into thin air, as the flames slowly extinguished.

Fire Escape, a self-created ability of Aisha after consuming the Flame Elemental Fruit, allowed her to merge with the vanishing flames, making her form completely disappear. Not only was she undetectable, but even her presence could not be sensed.

This ability required precise control, far beyond mere Elementalization.

Just minutes later, on a prairie in ASEAN, a fire suddenly flared up in the meadow, which turned into a blazing fire in an instant.

However, the moment the fire started, a graceful figure suddenly emerged from the sea of flames.

*Tap, tap, tap…* Aisha’s seductive figure slowly walked out of the fire.

*Screeeech…* With a sharp cry, a distant Black Bird with three plumes, noble and divine, lifted her eyes in surprise as she saw Aisha emerging from the flames.

[She proved herself to be Master’s Apostle. Her methods are mysterious and bizarre. I didn’t even notice her arrival.]

“Elder Sister, are you here to deal with the Blood Raven?” Aisha’s soft voice drifted over.

“Not to deal with it, but to heavily injure it at Master’s command.”

Hearing this, Aisha’s lips curved into a slight smile. “You should know that Blood Raven is quite difficult to handle. However, as one of the Top Ten Natural Disasters, it’s understandable for you to say that.”

…

Through their exchange, they had come to understand each other.

After explaining the Blood Raven’s lair, Aisha reminded her, “Sister, there is a treasure called Blood Crystal within the Blood Raven’s lair, which is very beneficial for those who cultivate Blood Energy. If you can defeat him, you might bring some back to Misty Mountains.”

“Got it.” acknowledging, Demonic Phoenix unfurled her wings and shot towards the eastern sea, transforming into a streak of grayish light.

…

On the shore of the eastern seas stood a peak, which was not known as Blood Raven Peak, simply because it was home to hundreds of thousands, even millions, of Blood Ravens.

And today…

*Screeeeeeech…* A piercing cry echoed through the Heavens. Visible to the naked eye, countless black specks fell from the sky, covering an area of several dozen kilometers like raindrops.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rain of black feathers. The black feathers glistened with a cold and metallic luster, resembling swords, piercing straight towards the ground.

*Booooom, booooom, booooom…” A series of massive explosions echoed throughout Blood Raven Peak, shaking the entire mountain and sending clouds of dust rising into the sky.

*Caw…* Suddenly, an ear-piercing rose from the rising dust.

At the same time, Demonic Phoenix spotted a massive blood-red bird with a pair of eerie red eyes like crimson Moon taking flight, much to her joy.

Accompanying the massive blood-red bird were countless smaller Blood Ravens that were continuously converging and merging into its body.

In just a few breaths, the massive blood-red giant bird had grown several sizes larger.

“What a peculiar creature!?” Demonic Phoenix looked at the Undying Blood Raven with admiration in her eyes.

However, if one could share her vision, they would see a vision of the future in her gaze, which showed the Undying Blood Raven’s imminent attack in three seconds: The Undying Blood Raven raised his talon as countless smaller Blood Ravens shot towards Demonic Phoenix, like a torrent.

“If I hadn’t seen this in advance, I might have been in trouble.” With a smile, Demonic Phoenix swiftly flapped her wings and swiftly retreated higher into the sky, leaving a streak of black light.

At the same time, under her control, the countless black feathers that had been shot towards the ground previously began to tremble. Moments later, they slowly rose into the air before shooting straight towards the sky, much to the Undying Blood Raven’s shock and dismay.
