The sky had turned crimson
Mountains were shattered, the ground was cracked, and the air was filled with violent spiritual energy.
In the middle of that ruined battlefield stood a single man.
Kairo
And in front of him stood the rulers of the Nine Kingdoms.
Nine kings… each one powerful enough to destroy armies.
Yet none of them dared to move recklessly.
One of the kings stepped forward and spoke in a cold voice.
"You don't have to fight us, Kairo.
Just give us the Evil Technique.
If you do, we will let you live.
For a moment, the battlefield became silent.
Then Kairo slowly laughed.
You gathered the rulers of nine kingdoms… just for this?
His eyes turned cold.
And you think I would hand it to people like you?
The moment he finished speaking—
The nine kings attacked at the same time.
Blinding lights filled the sky as powerful techniques descended toward him.
BOOM
The ground exploded.
Dust covered the battlefield.
But when the dust slowly cleared…
Kairo was still standing.
Not a single scratch on his body.
The kings froze.
Kairo slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
Sister.
Bring me my sword.
His voice was calm.
Today… I will end this.
His sister walked toward him slowly.
Her hands were trembling.
Tears were falling from her eyes.
Kairo didn't notice.
He simply waited.
Then—
STAB!
A cold blade pierced through his back.
Time seemed to freeze.
Kairo's eyes widened.
Slowly, he looked behind him.
His sister was standing there.
Holding the sword.
"S… sister…?"
His voice was filled with disbelief.
Tears kept falling from her eyes.
I saw the future…
In that future, you walk the path of Evil Cultivation.
You destroy kingdoms… you destroy the world…
Her voice trembled.
"I'm sorry… my brother.
For a moment, Kairo remained silent.
Then he started laughing.
A dark… terrifying laugh.
So this was your decision.
His eyes burned with fury.
Remember this.
I will return.
And when I do…
I will take revenge on this entire world.
The next second—
A terrifying explosion erupted.
BOOOOOM!!!
Kairo's body exploded into violent spiritual energy.
The battlefield trembled.
The kings stared in shock.
And everything went dark.
____
Years later.
In a small house.
A baby suddenly opened his eyes.
But those eyes were not innocent.
They were cold.
Ancient.
And filled with hatred.
I… am alive?
Kairo had returned.
