The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 217 The So-Called Apocalypse (Part 1)

Ammon, the leader of the Equality Party, the initiator of the anti-magic movement, and the savior in the hearts of all the ordinary people present, is actually a magician.

This world is truly amazing.

Azura couldn't help but smile and say:

"Interesting, indeed interesting."

"Amon is a magic user?!"

Because Kahn's words were so contrary to her understanding, Beifang Lin found it hard to believe and then asked doubtfully:

"How did you figure that out?"

"I saw it with the eyes of a spirit master."

Kahn laughed:

"In the eyes of a Spirit Master, there is a huge difference between a Spirit Master and an ordinary person, so there is no doubt about that."

Although she received an affirmative answer from Kahn, another thought immediately popped into her mind:

Perhaps the person standing on the stage right now isn't the real Amon, but rather a stand-in for Amon?

—No, and it's impossible.

As an extreme organization that opposes sorcerers and claims to overthrow their rule, its leader, Amon, would not choose a sorcerer as a substitute even if he needed one.

After much deliberation, Beifang Lin had no choice but to accept the reality that Amon was a magic user.

After accepting this, she suddenly had even more questions, and murmured:

"Since Amon is also a Spellcaster, does that mean this anti-Spellcaster movement was just a hoax he orchestrated? Then what is his true purpose?"

Azura casually remarked:

"Maybe he's just a madman who genuinely wants to overthrow the rule of sorcerers? Even if he himself is a sorcerer."

Azura's point is valid; discussing Amon's motives now is pointless, but at least the current intelligence has given her a direction to target the Equalizers.

As the leader of the Equality Party, if Amon can find a way to make the party's supporters realize that he is also a sorcerer, then the entire Equality Party will naturally collapse.

Meanwhile, on stage, Amon was unaware that his true colors had been exposed and continued his speech with great enthusiasm.

"My pursuit of equality began many years ago, when I was still a naive and ignorant child."

Amon recounted his background, claiming that he and his parents were farmers and ordinary people.

His family was frequently extorted by the Fire Master. One day, his father finally couldn't bear it any longer and decided to fight back, but he failed. In the end, the Fire Master not only killed his parents, but also left terrible burns on his face, which is why he had to wear a mask.

This incident also became the starting point for his pursuit of equality and opposition to imperial rule.

The crowd immediately erupted in shouts, expressing their dissatisfaction and hatred towards the sorcerer.

Although he told the story in a very convincing way, to Kahn and his two companions, who already knew his true nature, it was a ridiculous and clumsy story full of lies.

Furthermore, Beifang Lin successfully discovered a clue.

"If he's lying, then there must be another reason that forces him to wear the mask."

We can even go further and hypothesize that perhaps if we simply remove Amon's mask, we will find the answer to everything.

Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, it is a good opportunity to make a move, but Bei Fanglin still suppressed her inner impulse.

She hadn't forgotten their original purpose for coming here: the secret weapon the Equalists claimed was enough to overthrow the Sorcerer's Government—the mysterious Apocalypse.

"Avatar may proclaim that Control brought balance to the world, but she is wrong! Control has only brought us suffering; it has caused different conflicts in different eras!"

"It's time to end all of this."

"I know you've all been curious about what the Apocalypse is, and now I'll reveal the answer to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone present perked up and focused intently on the stage. This was their true purpose in coming here: to find out the real nature of the so-called Apocalypse.

"Since the beginning of heaven and earth, the gods have been protecting our world, and I am fortunate to have received divine guidance."

"The gods told me that the Avatar had trampled on humanity, so they sent me down to start a new era of balance."

"For this, they granted me the power to achieve equality in the world, a power that can control the magic of a sorcerer—"

"Completely abolish!"

"No, that's impossible!"

Bei Fanglin exclaimed in surprise. Not only her, but most of the people present found it hard to believe. The entire venue was instantly filled with a cacophony of noise.

Cora, standing behind, also looked shocked and said:

"How is this possible? It's absolutely impossible, right?"

Tenzin stared solemnly at Amon on the platform and said in a deep voice:

"Logically, only Avatar can negate someone else's Navigation Jutsu, but..."

Looking at the calm and composed Amon on the stage, he dared not make any rash judgments.

Kahn and Azura also put aside their spectator mentality. If what Amon said was true, then he did indeed have enough confidence to launch an attack on the sorcerer.

However, given his previous speech filled with lies and his true identity as a hidden sorcerer, they could only wait and see regarding his current words, unable to make any certainty.

Amon had clearly anticipated the crowd's reaction. After the noise subsided slightly, he continued:

"To prove my words are true, let's invite 'Thunderbolt' Zolt, the leader of the Triads, the most notorious criminal in Republic City, to testify to the authenticity of the Apocalypse."

As Amon spoke, Zolt was forced onto the stage by the henchmen of the Equality Party, which immediately drew a wave of boos.

Despite being bound and brought onto the stage, Zolt still defiantly threatened those below:

"Don't yell at me, or you'll regret it!"

The Triads' infamous reputation is indeed deeply ingrained in people's minds, and when they heard his blatant threat, the voices from the audience did indeed quiet down considerably.

Besides Zolt, several others came up with him, including Marco's brother Bolin.

"Damn it!"

Upon seeing his younger brother, Marco couldn't help but curse under his breath, losing all interest in discussing the authenticity of the Apocalypse.

Now, finding a way to save Bolin is the most important thing.

Tenzin thought for a moment. With the strength of the three of them, Northern Lin, Kahn, and Azura should be fine to worry about. On the contrary, Kora needs his help more.

So he sighed and said:

"Sigh, I'll help too."

"Really?! Thank you so much!"

Marco thanked Tenzing, and Kora was also pleasantly surprised. The three of them then began to discuss a plan to rescue Bolin.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Amon was still recounting Zolt's crimes—

"Zort and the Triads he founded have committed atrocities against ordinary people, including extortion, blackmail, robbery, and torture, and have amassed a considerable fortune in the process. Now, he and his dark forces have come to an end."

"To be fair, I will give Zolt a chance to use magic to defend himself."

"Then, let us all witness the coming of the apocalypse."

At Amon's signal, Zolt was untied. He flexed his wrists and revealed a confident yet malicious smile, saying:

"You'll regret this, kid."
