Fire represents mankind's shift from barbarism to civilization. People knew fire was useful but getting too close would burn them.
Right now, the village is engulfed in flames, showing the rage of a man who has been deceived, tortured, and is now burning with anger.
"Ahhhhh!"
To the villagers, the man was like a wild beast reborn from the flames.
He moves and fights with the force of a wild animal. He avoids hitting the tourists, almost as if he doesn't see them. But those who wronged him won't escape.
The fire is cleansing the sins of the past and showing unstoppable anger. His rage burns everything in its path the Trees and houses have turned into a fiery hell.
A young man, is running through the burning village in panic.
"What is happening?"
Sweat evaporates in the intense heat, and fear drives him forward. He has never seen such a terrible scene before.
The village's farmland, houses, and roads are all on fire.
"Mom, my mother!"
He rushes toward his home, hoping it hasn't been affected. But when he arrives, the house is engulfed in flames.
He desperately searches through the rubble for his family, his hands bleeding as he digs.
"Mother?"
He finds a charred, unrecognizable figure. Even though he knows the chances of finding his mother alive are slim, he can't stop searching.
Tears fall as his world falls apart.
When grief overwhelms, there are no more tears left to cry. His eyes are dry, and the fire seems to consume his whole being.
In the flames, he sees two figures clearly.
"!"
He watches them intently, unable to look away.
The battle between Orion and the 'god' has turned the village into chaos. The once-open altar is now unrecognizable. The clash of powerful forces has left destruction everywhere.
The 'god', consumed by anger, fights like a beast. Orion, facing him, sees the Honkai energy from the man's blood and knows he has suffered greatly. Despite his current state, Orion 's power rivals that of an emperor-level Honkai Beast.
"How powerful would he be if he were at his best?" Orion thinks.
Despite the 'gods' mutilated state, he's incredibly strong. Orion realizes he needs to use his wits to overcome him.
"Can you believe I mean no harm?" Orion asks, but his words don't reach the man, whose rage is has consumed all reason
Orion switches tactics, using a knight's spear made of ice to try and calm the situation. The two clash like sparks hitting the earth.
"Clang——"
Their battle causes widespread destruction, as if a giant beast was rampaging through the village.
"It's strange," Orion thinks. In their clash, he barely managed to avoid damage. Without his quick reflexes, Orion 's weapon would have been shattered.
The fight continues, with Orion avoiding the man 's fiery attacks. Suddenly, a giant steel hand appears and grabs the man.
"?"
Orion sees the man struggling against the steel hand. The intense heat starts to damage the metal.
In this moment, Orion seizes the chance to gain the upper hand.
"Ahhhh!!"
The man roars as flames spread across his body, even cracking his mask. His strength seems endless, and he continues to battle fiercely.
"Not good!"
The man broke free. Instead of escaping from the hand, he decides to destroy it!
With incredible strength, he swings his arms like bulldozers, tearing apart the ground and breaking free.
Under the moonlight, Orion watches as the man now free, stands like a fiery deity.
The mask on the man's head falls apart, revealing his full power. He's now as formidable and dangerous as a Herrscher.
"Time for the second phase of the boss."
