"Stop," The old man said calmly with hands behind his back. 

The flaming snake that was rushing towards the old man stopped a few inches away from him. 

The fiery-looking man who attacked took a step back in horror. What the old man just showcased was an ability only those in the Overlord Plane could have. 

"You…" He tried to speak, but he didn't know what to say. 

The others in the group stared at the old man and the flaming snake which was floating docilely in front of him. 

"The thing about people is that they tend to do desperate things when in difficult situations. Struggling is futile, you all should submit calmly and your deaths will be peaceful," The old man stroked the flaming snake. 

With a simple wave of his hand, the snake turned around, the fire intensifying as it charged towards the fiery man who created it.
