While Michael was facing the heavenly tribulation, Diana interrupted the five Fusion stage cultivators sent by Maxim Barnes. The five men were dressed in complete, crimson-red robes with hoods and cloaks to cover their faces. As usual, Diana was in her black armor, carrying the two black swords. Facing Diana, the five cultivators hovered in the air, far away from Michael. Even from a mile away, they could see the raging storm and crazy lightning streaks in the distance.

Just as King Maxim sent a warning letter to the Voldigards, he sent one to Winston's Family. As soon as Diana read the letter, she came to Awor through a teleportation gate. Judging by her son's nature, she knew he wouldn't put VOldigards in danger by staying with them. So the next option for him was to use the Holy Church as his safe haven. Hence, Diana stayed close to the Holy Church, expecting trouble.

"Who are you?" asked one of the five warriors. They were all at Fusion Stage level 6 as Diana had reached Fusion stage level 2. But she had an advantage over them thanks to the Primordial flame she wielded. Moreover, Diana had far more battle experience than the five.

"Turn back and leave," Diana coldly said.

Normally, Diana would have killed the five without a second thought. The situation was anything but normal. She didn't want their battle to cause a disturbance to the heavenly tribulation. Until her son crossed the tribulation, she wanted to keep the enemies as far as possible. But deep down, she knew they wouldn't back down. They primarily came here to disrupt the heavenly tribulation and, thus, killing Ghost without a fight.

"We don't know or care who you are. Take your own advice and leave this place. His life ends today," One of them slowly floated forward. His eyes glimmered with killing intent under the cloak.

"Lady, you are outnumbered. Just leave," another one said.

"It's only three against one," Diana snickered.

"How so?" The one leading the group tilted his head.

"When I kill the leader in a brutal way, that's you," Diana pointed her sword at the man,

"Another one will try to cast a spell, I will burn him alive. The third one will feel reluctant to attack, and I will kill him too. The remaining two, they always run," said Diana.

The five chuckled. In a blink of an eye, the leader charged at Diana. The other four quickly cast various spells. To Diana's surprise, the energy fluctuation she felt around them was several times more powerful than it should have been. A golden sword materialized in the leader's hand. He swung the sword left and right. Each of the rest specialized in elemental spells. Fire, wind, water, and stones danced around Diana. Soon, the fire turned into an ethereal fire dragon, the wind turned into a giant fist, the water turned into a twelve feet long spear, and stones formed a stone giant.

Diana evaded the golden sword. She had never sensed such powerful energies from typical hitmen like them. It was certain they weren't using Celestial energy as the energy Diana felt was several times more powerful than Celestial energy. Even with Cosmic energy running through his veins, the leader couldn't reach Diana's speed. When he swung the sword, Diana grabbed his hand and twisted it with all her might.

"AH!" The man screamed. He was too arrogant to cast a defense spell around him. Meanwhile, the fire dragon soared through the sky with its mouth wide open to swallow Diana. She quickly grabbed the leader and flew away from Michael's direction.

After realizing these five were using much more powerful energy, Diana didn't hold back. She immediately conjured the Light Flame. The bright light blinded the five and raised the temperature around them by several degrees. They all felt the smoldering heat from the flames. Diana squeezed the leader's throat, opening his mouth forcefully. Diana willed the Light flames to condense into a tiny ball. The five of them slowly opened their eyes as the brightness dimmed from the flames.

The moment they opened their eyes, they felt a chill running down their spines. They saw the lady sending the ball of fire down their leader's throat. The man couldn't scream but wiggled his body like a fish out of water. His throat melted as hot butter. Soon, blood spurted out from his throat to his stomach, but the blood evaporated due to the intense heat.

When Diana let go of his shoulder, his body was cut in halves by the light flames. The remaining four shuddered. All the spells they cast ceased moving. Using their shock to her advantage, Diana clapped her hands together, sending a powerful blast of wind. The blast disrupted the shapes of the fiery dragon, water spear, wind fist as well as the stone giant. She followed her blast of wind with a beam of light flames. The bright beam went straight through the stone giant. Granted the Cosmic energy was much more powerful than the Celestial energy, but the Light Flame was on the same power level as the Cosmic energy. This was why MAxim Barnes was obsessed with controlling all the Primordial Flames by himself. Without a Primordial flame, there was nothing in the universe to rival Cosmic energy.

Although the five used Cosmic energy to cast spells and cultivate, they were still far from mastering Cosmic energy. On the contrary, Diana had mastered the Light Flames to the fullest. She was able to unleash its power more than the five unleashed the power of Cosmic energy. As a result, Diana's light beam went straight through the stone giant's chest.

The stone giant crumbled to pieces. Yet the light beam did not stop. Diana moved her hands, cutting through the fist, fiery dragon, and the water spear. In a blink of an eye, she destroyed all their spells. But the five quickly retaliated by casting a bright translucent shield around them. They all combined their energies to form one powerful shield around them. When the light beam and the cosmic energy shield clashed, it resulted in a powerful explosion. The explosion sound was masked by a thunderclap. But the shock wave itself sent both parties flying.

"We have to combine our energies!" A Thusian warrior shouted at his colleagues. They quickly coordinated to retaliate. Diana clenched her swords tighter. She looked at the storm's direction over her shoulder. In the distance, her son was crossing his heavenly tribulation. Because he was born a god, his heavenly tribulation was much more powerful and dangerous at the same time. The effects of the raging storm, coupled with powerful earthquakes, could be felt even from a mile away.

Diana closed her eyes, willing the light flames to shield her body. Soon, the flames coiled around her body, making the thusians close their eyes. The flame was simply too bright. Additionally, the flame radiated an otherworldly whistling noise. It disrupted their thoughts. Each of the four thusians conjured a ball of light. Only the light balls were conjured with Cosmic energy. The four of them merged the cosmic energy balls, forming one big swirling ball of pure cosmic energy.

The two forces were about to clash when a thick blue streak of lightning cut through the sky above them. Unlike the Thusians, Diana wasn't distracted by the sudden lightning strike. She fired a beam of light toward the Thusians. To her surprise, Diana sensed another Primordial Flame merge with the light beam. It was an icy blue arrow.

The light beam grew much more powerful and larger in size when the arrow merged with the light beam.

Boom!

The combined power of two primordial flames shattered the Cosmic shield.

"ARGH!" The thusians screamed as they were sent flying several meters behind. Each of them coughed up blood. Their skin turned pale under their robes. But Diana did not press her advantage. She had something much more grave to deal with. She slowly turned around, sensing another powerful being descending from the lightning streak.

It was none other than Rowena, her daughter herself.

"Who are you?" Rowena coldly asked Diana. Initially, Rowena sensed the heavenly tribulation from her flying palace. For some reason, she thought about Ghost. But when Rowena reached the place, she felt another surge of powerful energy, particularly another Primordial flame. Her instinct told Rowena to fight against the four thusians instead of the dark-robed woman.

Rowena tried to see through the dark cloak, but the woman had a concealing spell on her face to prevent anyone from seeing her face. The two of them stared at each other without batting an eye. Silence fell over them until Diana opened her mouth.

"They were planning to disrupt the heavenly tribulation," said Diana.

"I will take care of them. But I want to know about that flame of yours. It's not hell's flames nor heaven's flames. What is it?" Rowena asked Diana. As a Primordial flame wielder herself, Rowena could tell the flame the woman held was much more powerful than the Cold Flames. But there must be only three Primordial flames; Hell Flames, Heaven's flame, and Cold Flame, which belonged to her. She knew Noah wielded Heaven's flame and the Hell's flame was somewhere in the Fire Realm.

Therefore, seeing another flame as powerful as Cold Flames shocked Rowena. In the wrong hands, Rowena couldn't even imagine the damage a primordial flame could do. Even with Cosmic energy, the Light flames cut through the thusians like they were weaklings.

"Why do you care, Holy Maiden?" asked Diana. She slowly put her hands behind her back, preparing herself to use the teleportation scroll in her space ring.

"You answered your own question. I care because I am the Holy Maiden,"

"If our two primordial flames clashed, it would disrupt the energies in the atmosphere. You know what that would do to someone who's crossing his heavenly tribulation," Diana looked over her shoulder in Michael's direction. As Rowena's mother, Diana knew Rowena better than anyone else. Rowena may talk less and would rarely show her emotions but Diana knew she wouldn't do anything to hurt Ghost, the young man who saved her family not once but thrice.

On the other hand, Rowena knew if their primordial flames clashed, it could disturb the heavenly tribulation. Furthermore, Rowena didn't think the woman would reveal her secrets. Diana noticed the reluctance in Rowena's eyes. She quickly twisted the space ring in her hand as a silver scroll appeared in her hand. Rowena heard the tearing sound as she immediately sent a sliver of Cold flames in the shape of a tiny arrow at Diana.

The cold flames grazed Diana in the hand before she disappeared from the area.
