Chapter 3: Igniting Chaos

**Chapter 3: Igniting Chaos**

In the dead of night, Star Emperor City was immersed in an unnerving silence. The streets were empty, and the dim light from the torches flickered in the wind, barely illuminating the old stone facades of the buildings. Yet, amidst this deadly calm, a dark power was stirring, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Nick William, the Dark Sorcerer and legendary King of Evil, stood atop a towering spire in the heart of the city, observing the view with his cold eyes. The air was heavy, saturated with the magical energy he had gathered over the past few days. 

"Everything is in place now..." he murmured to himself, a faint smile playing on his lips. It had been a thousand years since he was last here, and during that time, the city had been a hub of power and influence. Now, having returned through time, he knew that the best way to control the Stellar Continent was to sow chaos from within.

Nick began to move his hands slowly, drawing ancient symbols in the air with precise gestures. These were not ordinary spells but old, dark magic with the power to alter the course of history. The magic he wielded required immense strength and absolute control.

With every movement of his hands, shadows began to coalesce around him, intertwining to form a massive whirlpool of dark energy. Whispering voices began to rise from those shadows, like tormented souls yearning to be freed from their bindings. But Nick was not compassionate towards those souls; instead, he used them as tools to achieve his goals.

"I will show you all how weak you are..." Nick said coldly as he unleashed the gathered energy. The whirlpool erupted suddenly, sending a wave of darkness that engulfed the entire city.

In an instant, everything changed. People in the streets began to scream as they saw the sky turn a blood-red hue, and the ground itself seemed to shake beneath their feet. The ancient buildings began to collapse, and the earth itself appeared to be tearing apart under the weight of Nick's overwhelming power.

But that was not the end. From the shadows engulfing the city, terrifying creatures began to emerge, twisted forms that did not belong to this world. These beings were embodiments of nightmares, creatures that knew neither mercy nor fear.

Chaos swept through the city, and people rushed in every direction seeking safety. But Nick knew that there was no place for them to hide from his wrath. This night was just the beginning, a small test of his absolute power.

Elsewhere in the city, in the Emperor's palace, guards and sorcerers desperately tried to repel the attack. They had trained to face all kinds of threats, but what they were dealing with now was something no one had anticipated.

"This is not just ordinary magical power..." one sorcerer said with worry, watching the destruction from a palace window. "This... is power from another realm."

Even amidst this chaos, Nick observed everything with calm, his eyes glowing with malevolent light. He knew that this was just the beginning. The chaos he had ignited would attract everyone's attention and force them to act in ways he could exploit.

With a wicked smile, Nick said to himself, "This world is no longer yours. I have lived for a thousand years and know all your secrets. Now, it is time to collect my dues."

With those words, Nick disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind a city engulfed in chaos and fear, and making the Star Emperor realize that the threat he faced this time was greater than anything he had ever encountered before.
