Lord of Cinder in American Comics

The surrounding suns froze, unsure whether to cheer with joy or wail with despair.

With the ability to withstand the Lord of Cinder, the incredibly powerful Solar is like the invincible sun in their hearts.

But he's fake! He's an imposter!

Solal blocked Ash's attack, his right-hand straight sword sweeping horizontally to deflect the spear.

Then raise your shield, perform a shield bash followed by a downward slash.

The most ordinary tactic proved most effective against the Lord of Cinder. The Ashes were forced to retreat, just as Gwyn had been before.

Solal distanced himself from Ash, a lightning spear appearing in his hand.

No, it shouldn't be called a lightning spear anymore; it's purer, warmer, and more destructive.

Or it should be called a sun gun!

This is a miracle that can only be learned by defeating the Lord of Cinder and becoming the One Who Links the Flame. And it is a miracle that only the embodiment of the Sun can learn.

But seeing Solaire use the Sun Gun while Ash only has the Thunder Gun in his hand.

The Thunder Spear is the first miracle learned by the Sun Warriors, the most basic and also the most important. Its power is solely related to the faith of the Sun Brothers. Even if your love for the Sun runs deep, you can master it without instruction, just like Solar in the past.

Using a lightning spear to counter a sun spear? Anyone could tell what the outcome would be, but Ash did it anyway. However, Ash believed that his sun brothers would make the right choice.

Thunderous roars echoed among the Sun Brothers, and in the hands of all of them appeared the first miracle they had learned: the Thunder Spear.

After watching for so long, the Sun Brothers, who had been suffering, could no longer bear it. Seeing Solar in his current state was an insult to him.

Thunder rumbled, and everyone threw their lightning spears at Solar's sungun.

A new sun was born in the ruins of Asgard.

There was no explosion, no impact, not even a deafening thunderclap.

The Sun Warriors are warm, just as they have always upheld their mission. They are all embodiments of the sun.

As the light faded, in the spot that had been most dazzling, Ash was piercing the sun worm on Solaire's head with a weapon that looked exactly like the straight sword in Solaire's hand.

This is an attempt by Ash. Since Solar was created by the Reality Stone, then he can be considered real. If that's the case, then the Sunbug on his head must also be real.

The pierced sunbug fell limply to the ground, twitched a few times, and transformed into the crimson fluid of the Reality Gem, flowing into Solal's body.

"Ugh! This is suffocating!"

Solal shook his head, twisted his neck, planted his sword in the ground, and looked around at everything.

The people around him were looking at him with admiration, which confused Solal. So he looked at Ash, who was closest to him.

With his arms crossed, Solar said, "Although I don't know what your purpose is... I feel an instant connection with you."

"Yeah, Brother Suo, it's been a long time..."

Ash took off his helmet, revealing his usual face.

Upon seeing the ashes, Solal realized that this was a companion he had met on the path of linking the fire. As an undead, they had gone through many exciting adventures together, except that this guy was a bit of a coward and always hid behind him casting spells.

"It's you! My intuition was right!"

Solal happily stepped forward and embraced Ash, as if he were a long-lost friend.

Ash had so much to say to Solar, who had not only fulfilled the mission of linking the fire but also lifted the curse on the world.

For some reason, Ash began to choke up. He held Solal's hand, unsure of how to speak.

Looking at Ash's current appearance, Solar patted Ash's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "It seems you have completed your mission! We became undead at the same time and were sent to the same Undead Asylum. In that place full of undead, we meet again now. I really hope that one day I can be as big and hot as the sun."

"No! Brother Suo, you are the sun!"

Ash's words made Solar burst into laughter. He had long seen through it; this brother of his had already ascended to the position of the world that continues.

Looking at the ashes before him, Solal suddenly said, "Linking the fire is the mission of the Undead!"

This was Solar's advice. In his mind, the world needed the flame to sustain it, and the undead should not abandon their mission. Possessing the ashes of the First Flame, they should stay where they belong.

Ash explained, "No need, Brother So, I've already changed the destiny of linking the fire..."

Solaire was given a detailed explanation of everything that would happen to Ashes, including how to contact other worlds, obtain the Infinity Stones, and change the destiny of linking the First Flame.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I was just kidding, just kidding. What an amazing achievement!"

Solaire clapped Ash's arm with joy, the force revealing his inner excitement. The fate of the linking of the flame had changed! The world had been preserved—an achievement surpassing even the sun.

"Brother Suo, let's go back first. I have a lot to tell you..."

Ash excitedly pulled Solal aside, wanting to tell his friend everything that had happened before and after he became king.

However, the ashes failed to move Solar; he remained standing there.

"What's wrong, Brother Suo?"

"As a soldier, knowing yourself is the most basic understanding!"

Ash was a little scared; he didn't want to think about what Solar meant.

"Brother Suo, let's go back first. You haven't seen the world yet. It's really changed. There's no need to link the fire anymore..."

Ash pleaded desperately with Solar, but Solar remained unmoved.

Solal solemnly said, "Listen carefully, as warriors of the sun, you are illustrious assistants, and you will act for those in need. Only with the most unwavering faith can a summoner achieve success."

Any false illusion is a stumbling block to our inner peace, whether it be the ridicule and mockery of others, or all the enemies and difficulties ahead. Even…me!

Solal's words caused the Sun Brothers, who had been overjoyed, to lower their heads.

"Brother Suo...you..."

"As I've said before, knowing oneself is the most basic understanding. My body has never been stronger, and my weapons are not indestructible. I don't believe that a weapon I casually hammered out with iron bars can withstand an artifact containing the power of the Lord of Cinder!"

Solal looked at his hands and squeezed them, trying to feel the presence of his body, but he quickly gave up the attempt. Regardless of his senses, he could clearly feel that he was alive.

However, the power that existed reminded him that this was not his true self.

"I feel that this body is not the real me. I am not even real, but just a false illusion deceiving me."

Solaire raised his voice, addressing the Ashes with a resounding boom: "But! This will not deceive you! Lord of Cinder!"

"But...Brother Suo...I still have so much to say to you..."

"Since you've brought up the Infinity Stones, then I understand. I am a false creation right now. Although I can clearly feel myself and smell the dryness of the dust in the air, it's all fake. I am a stone, the foundation of this world. Don't you know what you should do?!"

“We can use other methods, such as ancient gods. There are still many pantheons on Earth that haven’t been discovered, and there are even more powerful beings and artifacts in the universe. We have more options…”

Solal threw away his shield, which slid slowly in front of Ash with a clanging sound of metal striking metal.

Solar said, "Now you are the sun! Under the sun, there should be no such self-deception! Don't forget the mission of the Undead! And don't forget the mission of the Sun Warriors!"

Yes, the Undead have the mission of linking the fire and maintaining the world, while the Sun Warriors have the mission of leading others to success.

Now, the mission is before us.

Solaire lowered his voice and said, "As a fellow adventurer who has shared the torch, you should know me well. I am Solaire, the Warrior of the Sun! I only want to fulfill my mission!"

"I can think of other ways, Brother Suo, we don't have to do this!"

"Yes, this is your right as the Lord of Cinder, but remember that a king cannot abandon his mission for personal desires, nor can he abandon the entire world for one person!"

If you truly care about the world, if you truly care about me, you know what I want!

Now, there are two of them. No! Everyone clearly understands what Solar means.

This was his final request.

Ash raised his spiral sword again, and Solal drew his weapon and picked up his shield.

Solal raised his Sun Sword, and the light of the Oath of Gold shone on everyone present, warm, gentle, and full of power.

"I am Solar of Astra. I am a follower of the sun god. When I became an immortal, I went to the place where Gwyn was born to find my own sun!"

Now! Towards the new sun! King who continues the world! My friend! Companion on the path of rekindling the fire! Offering the gift of continuing the world!

Ash also raised his weapon, and the power of the Primordial Flame erupted from his body, the flames sweeping across Asgard like a tidal wave.

"I am Ash! I am the Undead, the Ashman. I am the One Who Linked the Flame, the One Who Seized the Flame, the One Who Usurped the Flame! I am the Lord of Cinder! Here, for my friends! For the true sun in my heart, the Sun Knight—Solar! Accept this gift that continues the world!"

Ash fought the battle against Solar with tears in his eyes, as did all the Sun Brothers present. However, Solar's hearty laughter added a touch of joy to the clash of weapons.

Ash knew that Solar's joy was the joy of fulfilling his mission, the joy of the sun.

The sun doesn't need to be very powerful; it is the sun because it provides warmth to others in a lonely and desolate world.

Ash watched Solal gradually dissipate before him and put away the Reality Stone from his body. At the same time, he straightened his legs together, raised his toes, stretched out his arms, spread his fingers, palms facing outward, and fingertips pointing diagonally towards the sky.

Chapter 471: Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.

A real sun rose over Asgard, but this sun belonged only to its brothers.

Thor has taken the people of Asgard away, and Asgard is now an uninhabited place.

Given the trouble Loki caused, Ash has no intention of returning Asgard to them.

Moreover, this is where Solar reappears, which can be considered a lingering thought for Ash.

Thus, Asgard became the dwelling place, or rather, the place of communication, for the Sun Brothers.

In the past, the Sun Brothers often wandered alone, and they would be happy for half a day if they could meet a companion. Now there is a place that can give them a place to settle down.

The fall of Asgard became a new declaration.

Lothric has truly solidified his position as a powerful figure, and at the same time, he no longer conceals his intention to collect the Infinity Stones.

Lothric offered the highest bounty in the entire universe: a wish that Lothric could fulfill—the whereabouts of the Soul Stone.

Everyone is speculating about the scope of this wish, but many more have already embarked on spaceships to search for the Soul Stone.

Lothric also entered a period of recuperation, and the expeditionary force reduced the intensity of its external wars. Apart from frequent conflicts with the Cree, there were no more battles.

Ash stood atop the highest point of Asgard, watching the various structures constantly being rebuilt by the Sun Brothers. He pondered his greatest adversary, Thanos.

What bothered Ash was that Thanos disappeared after he announced his intention to collect the Infinity Stones.

They truly disappeared. Thanos's forces and the planets he controlled were devoid of any trace of him, and everything was now under Ebony Maw's control.
