"You want an explanation? Then I'll give you this explanation!"
Charlotte Linlin sneered, then swallowed the Flame King's soul orb into her stomach, a look of enjoyment on her face.
Immediately, Charlotte Linlin's eyes snapped open, filled with countless bloodshot veins, and ferocious words spewed from her mouth.
"Heavenly Fire!"
The sky instantly turned blood red.
This time, the Heavenly Fire was even more terrifying and formidable than before. Dense flames, even intertwined into a giant net of fire from within the void.
Ye Chen looked up at the dense flames, his eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a cautious expression.
"It seems Charlotte Linlin is going all out, wanting to devour the souls of all four kings." Osiris's Slifer the Sky Dragon conveyed silently, "Five-Three-Seven," speaking in a low voice to Ye Chen.
However, even with the sky raining fire, it was merely a minor inconvenience for Osiris's Slifer the Sky Dragon. As a god-level existence in the world of Duel Monsters, nothing could restrain his flight across the sky.
"It's just a struggle before death, and doing so will only bring them more harm than good!"
Ye Chen's lips curved into a strange smile, but his eyes remained calm.
If he wanted to leave, he could easily depart with a dimensional teleportation array. The opponent's methods to prevent Osiris's Slifer the Sky Dragon from escaping were utterly laughable in his eyes.
Scar looked at the sky raining fire and finally understood Charlotte Linlin's intention: using the Flame King's soul as a foundation to unleash Heavenly Fire, weaving it into a terrifying net of fire, making it impossible for Ye Chen and Osiris's Slifer the Sky Dragon to escape, thus locking them down.
However…
Even knowing her opponent's thoughts, Scar's cheek still twitched. He looked at Charlotte Linlin with immense hatred.
If it weren't for the current formidable enemy, he might have slapped her without hesitation.
Charlotte Linlin didn't care at all.
"Although I tore the Flame King's soul, I can still burn a small part of his soul to maintain his peak combat power! I can even burn a small part of your soul to restore you to your peak.
"But... the price for burning a soul is a slight reduction in lifespan afterward. How about it?"
Scar was stunned, a hesitant look appearing in his eyes. Although he hated Charlotte Linlin greatly, he couldn't afford internal strife right now.
Conversely, Charlotte Linlin had seen this point, which was why she was so reckless.
"Help me up..." The Flame King's deep voice, mixed with pain, echoed. Scar hesitated for a moment.
"Do you think we still have a choice now? If we don't keep Ye Chen of the Emperor's Advent here, then we're the ones who will die next!" The Flame King laughed wildly, suppressing his pain, plunging Scar into silence.
"It seems you've made your choice!" Charlotte Linlin showed a ferocious smile, walked forward, stretched out both hands, and viciously tore at King Yama and Scar.
The two underground kings let out a muffled groan, veins bulging on their foreheads, clearly enduring unspeakable pain, but their auras surged rapidly.
After completing all of this, Charlotte Linlin's massive body bounced, directly leaving Alligator King's protective circle.
Charlotte Linlin looked at Ye Chen ferociously, a sneer appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you never expected this day, did you? The reason you dared to appear here was because of that dragon, right? But now, you have no way to escape, do you?"
"What if I can escape? What if I can't?" Ye Chen's tone remained as calm as ever.
Charlotte Linlin felt this calmness, and the joy of her previous successful scheme completely vanished, replaced by a cold indifference and resentment.
It was this calmness, this indifference to everything, this gaze that held everything in her grasp, that disgusted and terrified her.
Why, at this critical juncture, could Ye Chen still show such a gaze?
Although Bullet was also furious at Charlotte Linlin's actions, facing Ye Chen, they were still on the same front line.
"Ye Chen, you are now deeply surrounded, isolated and without aid. What if there are two Four Emperors?"
"Four Admiral-level existences, plus one Four Emperor, are enough to bury you here today! Your mount will also die with you; consider it not being alone on the road to the underworld!"
"..."
Bullet laughed heartily, his smile wanton and wild.
"Indeed! At this very moment, the power we possess is absolutely suppressive against you." Scar's hand tightly clutched his Supreme Grade Great Sword, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot from intense pain, yet his aura was even stronger than before, at its peak.
"Today, go to your death peacefully! Ye Chen of the Emperor's Advent!" The Flame King also said in a low voice. Alligator King remained silent for a while, then stared at Ye Chen in mid-air with fierce, pale green eyes.
Five terrifyingly extreme auras pressed forward, intertwining. Even if Pirate King Roger were to be reborn, he would change color in the face of such a situation. This was almost an inescapable death trap.
Ye Chen said nothing, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. The next moment, he suddenly raised his hand, and a terrifying sword intent abruptly rose from his body, shooting straight into the sky.
The Heavenly Fire was directly split in half under this terrifying sword intent.
"How is this possible? The Heavenly Fire I unleashed with the Flame King's soul, he can actually cleave it?" Charlotte Linlin's expression changed, and things once again exceeded her control.
The Flame King himself was an Admiral-level powerhouse who had eaten the Flare-Flare Fruit. The Heavenly Fire unleashed with 4.5 of his soul could absolutely be controlled even by a Four Emperor-level powerhouse.
But...
It was broken just like that!
"Who told you I was alone?" Ye Chen smiled faintly. With this smile, the five terrifyingly extreme auras that had been intertwined suddenly dispersed.
Beside Ye Chen, two figures materialized from nothingness, and vast auras, like the blazing sun, continuously emerged, radiating pressure in all directions.
Charlotte Linlin saw the blurred figures in front of her, her pupils instantly constricted, and her face lost all color.
"How is this possible?"
