Recognizing that her opponent was the Continuum Beast, the Primordial Phoenix abandoned all hesitation. Though she was certain he was severely weakened, there was no justification for underestimating a cosmic entity that had slain so many absolute beings that his true name had become an unutterable taboo.
Unleashing her power, the Primordial Phoenix invoked the most devastating bloodline ability in her arsenal: World Requiem.
This singular technique was the sole reason the Immortal Phoenixes held their status as one of the ten most formidable races in Creation. Legend spoke of how the heavens themselves grew so fearful of this absolute fire that a permanent curse was laid upon the phoenix bloodline, decreeing that a standard phoenix could wield the technique only once in a lifetime. Attempting a second cast would consume their very soul. In essence, a phoenix could cast it twice only if the second time was paid for with their own life.
