Amaterasu

"Ignite, Amaterasu,"

As those words rolled off his tongue, The sinister black flames danced and swirled around Sasuke, exuding an aura of darkness and destruction. With each flicker, they devoured Adara's flames as if they were mere playthings. The once-raging sea of wrathful flames now cowered before the unstoppable might of Amaterasu.

Sasuke continued his steady stride through the sky, seemingly unaffected by the inferno that surrounded him. The black flames acted as his shield, burning away the the wrathful crimson flames around him with each step. He closed the distance between himself and Adara, his eyes locked onto her with an eerie calmness.

."Your dark fire ain't shit against my Yeon Family's Flames!" Adara spat, her eyes locked onto her Family members, now seething with rage as black flames burned them.

"FWWWOOOOOOOSSSHHHH!"

She roared, gathering the hatred her family members were emitting. Adara's eyes turned red as crimson flames erupted, spreading furiously once again, finally halting the advance of Amaterasu.

"Truly, the sobriquet 'Bloody Cichlid' suits you... However, this much hatred is like holding a candle against the sun with my Amaterasu," Sasuke declared, shaking his head dramatically. With a slight gesture, he increased the intensity of Amaterasu a bit.

*Swoosh!*

Adara's recently regained confidence crumbled, and she could only watch in terror as her flames were effortlessly extinguished once more by the relentless march of Amaterasu.

"Just so you're aware, I never used these flames before; their lowest heat alone is enough to roast High Rankers. But hey, I'll give you guys a taste of the kiddie version. You're from the Yeon family, after all." With a mischievous smirk, he winked at her.

The grim reality finally dawned on her, sending shivers down her spine. She realized her powers were futile against this inextinguishable Hell Flame. But she wouldn't back down; it wasn't about something as useless as pride.

No! A Yeon Family's daughter isn't just a Flame User; She is the Flame itself! A Flame dies by burning itself out!

"Sigh" Sasuke sighed seeing her being so persistent. With a grand gesture, Sasuke raised his hands, and the black flames of Amaterasu, now spread across every corner of the battlefield, coalesced into a colossal sphere, engulfing everyone and everything present. Darkness as Abyss birthed from the density of Amaterasu, bringing the Eternal Night. From the outside, it resembled a Blazing Black Sun, leaving every single Soul who witnessed it feel awe and despair, both within the Sphere and the outside onlookers.

"Damn it!" Yeon Ilarde sprang from her now-ashes throne, unleashing her Ancient Flames to protect herself and the rankers from the encroaching black flames. The sinister power radiating from the sphere intensified, leaving no doubt about the impending devastation.

The entire battlefield braced itself for the impending cataclysm.

"[Uchiha Style: Eye of Amaterasu],"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

An ear-splitting explosion reverberated throughout the Floor, sending out a colossal shockwave of power and destruction. Regardless of where one stood on the 21st Floor, they witnessed the once-vibrant, cloudy sky giving way to a sudden night and shockwaves that continued to ripple outward.

"An attack of this magnitude? Isn't he afraid of the Yeon Family Head?" Within the Regulars Residential Area, A FUG member looked at the now haywire Broadcast, that had been projecting the fight through lighthouses.

"Well, thanks to him we can divert the noses of Jahad's dogs for a while." His companion replied, noticing the destruction of his lighthouse from the aftermath of that attack.

"Hey, do you think he can kill jah—"

"Don't speak unnecessarily!"

" We have to reach the 28th Floor within 5 Years. The Workshop Battle is near." A new figure spoke, wearing a brown cloak entirely.

"With you in our Team, that will be easy,

Mr. Beniamino Cassano."

As the night sky gradually returned to normal, the place where the massive explosion had occurred was now engulfed in a thick, smoky haze. It resembled a winter fog, an eerie and chilling sight. Within that dense fog, Sasuke stood with a small smile on his face, his eyes locked on something intriguing.

A faint Pink Flame enveloped everyone present from the Yeon Family, casting a surreal, almost ethereal glow. It resembled a Cherry Blossom in full bloom, casting a protective barrier against the previous devastation. It flickered and danced with an almost hypnotic grace, casting eerie and elongated shadows in the thick, smoky haze that enveloped the battlefield. The color was an otherworldly shade of pink, as if it had harnessed the very essence of Life and Death, and its glow painted the surroundings with an unsettling, surreal beauty.

Yet, beneath its inviting facade, it induced a deep, primal terror, like an Ancient Being stirring from slumber.

"Alright, break it up!" A gentle voice echoed throughout the surroundings, clearing the smokes instantly and mending all the damage done.

"Ah, a pleasure to meet you" Sasuke greeted with an awkward jest. He saw how these beautiful flames suddenly appeared and covered everyone after his attack landed, which sent them to the brink of death. The Pink Flames healed them instantly, almost like rewinding Time. There could be only one person who can do this with Flames.

Yeon Hana, The Family Head of Yeon Family.

"I thought you didn't want to kill anyone from my Family?" Hana questioned with the same gently tone.

"That's true I don't want to but, you see, your girls are crazy! They won't stop unless I crushed them entirely" he replied, scratching the back of his head.

"So you went ahead and blasted them to the brink of death?" She asked mockingly,

"H-hahaha anyway, can you tell me how you bribed the Administrator?" Sasuke asked, trying to shift the topic.

"You forgot I'm present on this Floor! I don't need bribery to do what I want" Hana didn't push him. She boldly declared as the Pink Flames suddenly glowed, mass Teleporting all the unconscious members of the Yeon Family. As they disappeared, the words were left behind,

"Visit my Floating Castle later!"

Sasuke stood in the sky, stiff and contemplative, trying to process what he had just heard.

'Wait, did she just invite me for a date? Could this be it? Has my time come?'

"BAHAHHAHAHA! Even a Family Head can't resist my charm!"

…

Within Jahad's Altar of the 21st Floor,

"Damned Devil!"

"He's an obstacle to our God's Empire! How dare he cause Chaos in every Floor he visits!" The Vice Priest of the Altar, Yeon Nel gritted her teeth in frustration. She wants to kill that bastard but she can't. If she showed hostility and opposed him, she knows he wouldn't mind erasing another Altar of Jahad. Even as a High Ranker, she feels weak as an insignificant ant in front of someone of his calibre.

The High Priest Sena relaxed her furrowing brows, patting Nel's shoulder and said confidently "Don't worry! He won't cross past The Nest! Lo Po Bia declared they'll 'End' him when he reaches there."

"Sigh, I'm relieved to hear that." Nel sighed, kneeling in prayer before the triple-eyed red visage above, seeking solace.

The High Priest didn't interrupt her and exited the Hall, muttering "Not to mention, she will participate.... Our Chief Commander—"

"Adori Jahad"
