Even if Derick had mastered the power of the Titan of Earth, the Flame-Reaver still didn't believe the energy within his body could surpass his own. To defeat him, one would need to acquire the powers and energies of at least six Titans, right?

The Flame-Reaver thought to himself, then his Demonic Sword clashed with Derick's long halberd.

If there's no escaping it, then just fight it out first. At least he was still immortal. Even if captured, he would always find a way to resolve it in the future. Besides, he might not even lose.

The Flame-Reaver saw various lights appearing from above the long halberd, rushing straight towards him.

First, there was a golden-yellow energy—this was the power of the Titan of Strife. The Flame-Reaver felt a tearing sensation emanating from Strife.

Next was a dark purple energy—this was the power of the Titan of Death. A sense of annihilation from Death assaulted the Flame-Reaver's body.

Third was the energy of Reason, which analyzed the Flame-Reaver with absolute rationality.

As the fourth kind of energy emerged, the Flame-Reaver felt the power of the World-Bearing Titan. This force was the most formidable, so much so that even the Flame-Reaver felt his body was on the verge of collapsing under the pressure.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and endured.

Fifth, the power of the Titan of Earth. The Titan of Earth's power not only affected the Flame-Reaver himself, but it also caused the surrounding soil to press in on the Flame-Reaver, crushing him.

The Flame-Reaver heard the sound of his entire body being crushed.

Yet, he still held on. His body had reached its limit, but Derick's fifth Titan energy was still resisted.

Derick wouldn't have any more Titan energy, would he?

The Flame-Reaver thought to himself.

Just as he was thinking this, the Flame-Reaver suddenly felt drops of water sliding down his sword blade, landing in his hand.

What was happening? Why would there be water droplets deep underground here?

This wasn't groundwater. Although the Flame-Reaver had been affected by Derick's Titan of Earth energy and had been running around for a long time, he still found himself back by Derick's side. But he could still feel the pressure of the surrounding area, and at this pressure and depth, there couldn't possibly be groundwater.

"No groundwater, then…?"

The Flame-Reaver instinctively felt a sense of unease spreading in his heart.

The energy of the Ocean Titan appeared, rushing straight towards the Flame-Reaver. The ocean energy poured into the Flame-Reaver's body. The Flame-Reaver now had no strength left to resist the Ocean Titan energy released by Derick, allowing the blue energy to enter his body.

The Flame-Reaver's body began to swell, like a balloon filled with seawater. His entire body quickly inflated into a sphere.

Beneath his skin, stretched to its limit, blue energy pulsed and threatened to burst.

Finally, the Flame-Reaver's body exploded. Under the impact of the Ocean Titan's energy, his entire body was fragmented into pieces too tiny to be seen with the naked eye.

Even dismembered in such a way, the Flame-Reaver still retained a sliver of consciousness.

Why? How did that guy Derick suddenly gain two kinds of Titan power? With six kinds of Titan energy unleashed simultaneously, even his own power had a gap.

"But it doesn't matter. Although I lost this time," he thought, "do you have a way to kill me? If not, then next time I revive, I'll find a chance to get my revenge sooner or later."

Since Derick could transform in a short time from a mere minnow he could dispatch with a single move to someone capable of defeating him head-on, then it was only natural that he could also improve his strength and exact his revenge in the future.

Derick continued to manipulate the energy of the Titans of Earth and Ocean, gathering it into a current of water that swept the Flame-Reaver's body, shattered into hundreds of thousands of pieces, downwards.

Indeed, Derick had already used the power of the Titan of Earth to open a downward passage below. This passage led directly to the planet's core.

Derick also descended downwards, all the way to the planet's core.

The core of this planet was just like the Earth from Derick's previous life—it contained scorching magma, with temperatures exceeding six thousand degrees. If one wasn't a strong individual, even a slight touch of magma would turn them to ash.

Derick threw the Flame-Reaver down, not because he wanted to use the magma to incinerate him. This temperature of magma was insufficient to kill the Flame-Reaver. If the Flame-Reaver were truly thrown into the planet's core, it was estimated he would recover his body and break out within a few days.

"The Flame-Reaver is a bad guy, but his body and such are good things. How could I simply let him die? That would truly be a waste."

Derick thought to himself.

Killing the Flame-Reaver was incredibly difficult. And sealing the Flame-Reaver also risked him breaking free at any time.

Therefore, to completely deal with the Flame-Reaver, there was only one method: Eat him! Devour the Flame-Reaver.

Derick had sent his Fourth Clone into the planet's core earlier precisely to devour the Flame-Reaver.

The reason he didn't use his main body was because he wasn't clear about the Flame-Reaver's composition, consciousness, and so on. The risk of using his main body to devour him was simply too great.

It was most suitable to use a clone for the devouring activity.

Derick's Fourth Clone entered the planet's core without using any abilities, allowing the magma of the planet's core to incinerate it.

After burning to ash, it dispersed evenly within the magma. When the Flame-Reaver's body, now fragmented, also dispersed into the magma, Derick's Fourth Clone began to merge with the Flame-Reaver's body. The extremely high temperature of the magma allowed both bodies to become molecularized.

Only by dispersing in this manner could Derick's Fourth Clone and the Flame-Reaver's body completely merge.

As for the possibility of the Flame-Reaver gaining control over Derick's Fourth Clone after the merge, Derick wasn't too worried.

No matter how strong the Flame-Reaver's power was, it couldn't reach the level of an Emanator of Destruction. Furthermore, Ruan Mei had researched Derick's clones; those clones contained simulated Stellaron bloodline genes. The thick Stellaron bloodline meant their status completely surpassed that of the Flame-Reaver's body.

Derick began to sense his Fourth Clone merging with the Flame-Reaver's body.

During the merging process, Derick could distinctly feel the Flame-Reaver's consciousness and soul gradually dissipating.

As it dissipated, the Flame-Reaver's soul continuously hurled curses at Derick.

Derick stood above the planet's core; the Flame-Reaver's voice could be clearly heard by Derick.

With his mind in disarray and his soul gradually dissipating, the Flame-Reaver cursed Derick indiscriminately, using every possible insult. Fortunately, Derick had been cursed quite a bit during this period, so he had developed a considerable immunity to the incoherent curses of the Flame-Reaver.

The more you scream, the more it proves my attack is effective, and the happier I become.

As he cursed, the Flame-Reaver's condition surprisingly improved significantly.

His thoughts and so on actually began to clear up.

The Flame-Reaver finally sighed deeply and said, "Derick, you've won. My life has come to an end, and I hope you can end the cycle of reincarnation when you return to Amphoreus. Also, your planning and schemes are truly impressive. No one on Amphoreus would have known that those pitch-black monsters had such a connection with you. Not even I knew until now."

"Oh? You actually regained consciousness?" Derick said, surprised to hear the Flame-Reaver's words.

Derick continued to press the Flame-Reaver, "Then can you properly explain why you destroyed the Journey of Chasing Fire? Also, what exactly is your relationship with Phainon?"

"As for that, you'll have to explore it yourself later. Since you've killed me, I have no obligation to explain everything to you." The Flame-Reaver told Derick.

Hearing what the Flame-Reaver said, Derick showed no concern on his face.

"It's fine, it's fine. Once I've completely devoured your body, I'll know everything." Derick waved his hand and said.

Hearing that Derick would so easily obtain his secrets, the Flame-Reaver couldn't help but laugh loudly.

He had thought he could gain some final advantage over Derick. But Derick's words completely made him into a clown.

Derick naturally had no interest in humoring the Flame-Reaver. How many people had he killed in Amphoreus? How many planets had he destroyed after leaving Amphoreus?

After doing so many things, could a bit of defiance shown at the end make Derick look at him with new respect? Don't be ridiculous.

"I will not only devour your will and consciousness, but I will also take your power, and use your power to do my own bidding," Derick said to the Flame-Reaver.

And after he finished speaking, the Flame-Reaver's spirit could no longer hold on. His consciousness and will completely vanished.

The process of devouring and digestion had not yet been completed, but the Flame-Reaver no longer existed.

Derick left his Fourth Clone to continue devouring and digesting the Flame-Reaver's remains, while he himself flew outwards.

The others were still waiting for him outside, so Derick naturally had to return soon to reassure them.

Derick proceeded outwards. As he advanced, Derick also noticed the Demonic Sword left behind by the Flame-Reaver.

Upon seeing the Demonic Sword, Derick didn't dare to reach out and touch it. Instead, he deployed the energy of the Titan of Reason to encapsulate it.

After doing all this, Derick finally rushed outside.

Outside, Castorice and Cipher were waiting for Derick's return.

"Derry, how was it? Did you find any trace of the Flame-Reaver?" Cipher asked Derick.

"Of course I found him," Derick said with a nod and a smile, continuing to Cipher, "Not only did I find him, but I also eliminated him. From now on, we won't have to worry about that guy threatening Amphoreus or the entire universe anymore."
