China, Beijing.
The skyscrapers seemed to caress the sparse clouds that covered the stars of the night. Lights of different colors adorned the bustling city that, although cold, did not prohibit nightlife for those who love fun.
Nightclubs, bars, massage parlors, restaurants, karaoke, recreation centers, etc. All kinds of facilities could be found almost for every square kilometer of the capital of China. Thousands and even hundreds of thousands of men and women of all ages were leaving the comfort of their homes to find some form of fun.
It didn't matter if it was summer or winter, nightlife was always present in everyone's life, especially the youngest ones.
However, not all of Beijing was bright, bustling, and vibrant... On the suburbs of the luxurious capital, there was an area devoid of almost any human creation. Debris, dry and broken trees, crushed cars, glass, and many other broken things were the only things in sight. What in the past was part of a bustling city, after what was called by the government and inhabitants of China as the " Demon Storm" had become the representation of an apocalypse.
The disaster was proliferating about 100 kilometers around, however, precisely in the center of the place, you could see a military base built by the Chinese government. Thousands of armed soldiers were patrolling the area, the light sources were illuminating almost everything for several kilometers.
Several kilometers underground there was a massive room made of a strange brown-black metal. This metal was discovered in 2025 by the government and was called Adamantium as a result of its resistance.
In the American comics, the shield of a certain captain "was created" with adamantium. However, this metal was only fiction, a creation of the human mind, and not a real existing metal. When the Chinese government found a certain amount of such a resistant metal in the middle of 2025, it decided to name it in such a way due to its unmatched hardness.
In the middle of the night, a teenage girl of about 14 or 15 years old accompanied by an old man with white hair, entered the military base. All the soldiers who saw her stopped whatever they were doing and greeted her with a look of admiration and respect in their eyes.
The teenager's flaming red hair fell over her shoulders and a small ribbon fell down the side of her head. Her eyes were a beautiful honey color, so bright as if a burning flame of fire illuminated them but at the same time so cold as if a mantle of frost covered them. Her body was definitely not a body that a girl of her age should possess, for her breasts were not only large enough to leave even adult women embarrassed, but her hip also was small and flexible like a snake, and her butt was big enough that even a saint would have nefarious thoughts.
When the teenager entered the lower level of the military base, a middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for her.
"Young Miss Yao, you always work hard. While most young people of your age are having fun right now, you spend most of your free time training and improving yourself." The middle-aged man of General rank in the Chinese army praised and sighed.
Yao Mei simply nodded and said nothing else as she continued walking. The middle-aged general stayed watching her until she disappeared behind the resistant metal door.
The General was not angry or embarrassed by Yao Mei's attitude because he and others who knew her well enough understood that she was not acting like this due to arrogance, that was her personality. Quiet, modest, and calm most of the time. The number of words that came out of Yao Mei's mouth in a whole year sometimes did not exceed twenty. Even her own family could spend more than a year to hear her voice again.
Ironically, apart from the title 'Empress of Fire', Yao Mei was also called 'Ice Queen' in Beijing University because she never talked to anyone. Even when degenerate students tried to flirt with her with knowledge of her age, she never responded.
_________
When she accessed the huge room of several kilometers in length, Yao Mei took off the jacket she was wearing and threw it on the floor.
*Boom!*
The floor composed of Adamantium shook slightly and a deep sound hit the old man's ears. Surprisingly, the jacket Yao Mei was wearing weighed over 500 kilograms! If it weren't for the special function of controlling her body weight, the floor would tremble with every step that she took!
Yao Mei's face continued to be calm as ever. Her small arms and her pearly white skin were now visible, and her body became even more prominent after a layer of protection was removed. However, the old man did not dare to look at her and instead went to a small, separate room.
Inside the small room, there were all kinds of controls and energy screens. The old man settled down on a seat and began to touch some buttons.
"Young Miss, let's start with a rather intense warm-up. Twenty F-22 Raptor, ten battleships type LIAONING... On your signal."
The voice of the old man resounded all over the place, and a strange energy came over the huge room where Yao Mei was. In the next second, as if by magic, a huge ocean formed around Yao Mei. The only land that was there for her to occupy now was a small island of no more than 2 kilometers.
*Swoosh!*
Strange as what happened before, ten huge battleships appeared surrounding the small island.
*Swoosh!*
Just a few seconds later, twenty high-tech fighter jets appeared over the skies, moving at terrifying speeds everywhere.
Yao Mei leaned her body forward slightly and waited.
The old man seemed to understand her intentions, as he immediately pressed an energy button in front of him... and the fight started.
*Wooosh!*
The twenty fighters launched four missiles at the same time. The approximately 80 missiles flew at near the speed of sound and in less than a second reached the small island on which Yao Mei was standing.
Yao Mei's face did not change. Instead, her eyes shone and became red hot as her hair. With a bang, two mighty flames formed under her two feet and Yao Mei shot off the island at full speed, trying to get out of the attacking range of the missiles.
*BOOM!!!*
The small island was overwhelmed by the attack of the fighter planes. A mushroom cloud several kilometers high formed over the ocean.
*Swoosh!*
Coming out of the mushroom of fire and black smoke, Yao Mei appeared! However, before she had enough time to think, the ten battleships seemed to be waiting since Yao Mei was overwhelmed by the attack of several hundred missiles at the same time!
Although the missiles from the battleships were not as fast as the missiles launched by the fighter planes, the destructive power was not at all inferior, moreover, Yao Mei was in the air and there was no longer any land for her to use as a foothold!
*Flash*
Yao Mei's eyes became even brighter and a pair of six-foot wings formed behind her back. The wings were made of fire itself and the actual Yao Mei looked like a real Fire Goddess! With a powerful flutter, Yao Mei began to move in different patterns while dodging the hundreds of missiles!
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
*Bang*
...
The sky was covered with explosions caused by the missiles impacting each other. Yao Mei moved at a speed of over 700 km / h avoiding with splendid maneuvers the attack of warships and the re-launched attack of fighter planes.
Suddenly, Yao Mei extended her right hand and a small orange sphere started to form. The sphere became smaller and smaller until it was only the size of a small yellow dot.
With an indifferent expression, Yao Mei raised her right hand and the small yellow dot of fire shot out at a frightening speed! The next second, a combat plane was shot through. Yao Mei's attack did not lose power and went through another combat plane.
*BOOM!*... *BOOM!*
Both fighter planes exploded. The burning metal pieces started to rain from the sky...
With another powerful flutter, Yao Mei began her attack.
After flapping her wings of fire, Yao Mei appeared in front of a battleship. On her fist appeared a crimson red flame and without hesitation on her beautiful face, she punched the battleship.
*BOOM!*
The battleship exploded in a cloud of fire. Yao Mei was fired at full speed as she headed for another battleship.
*BOOM!*... *BOOM!*... *BOOM!*... *BOOM!*
The battleships were not fast enough to escape or avoid Yao Mei's attacks. In less than twenty seconds, all ten battleships sank into the deep ocean!
Yao Mei also tried to reach the fighter planes, but unlike the limited speed of the battleships, the speed of the F-22 Raptor was over 1000 km / h, making Yao Mei's efforts unsuccessful.
"Young Miss, your father wishes to see you... Apparently, he sounded quite upset by the call... I think it's about what happened in the war over the virtual world."
The old man's voice sounded everywhere.
Knowing that time was running out, Yao Mei stopped in the air. She opened both arms wide as if to embrace the heavens and in the next second hundreds of fire arrows over a meter long appeared behind her back!
"The young lady is truly blessed by the gods... Not only her appearance, with her power and speed of growth, in just a few years; who can even oppose her word..." Seeing Yao Mei with two large wings of fire and hundreds of crimson fire arrows behind her, the old man could not help but murmur in a low voice.
Yao Mei was like the sun itself! Her present appearance not only looked powerful and beautiful, but she also looked holy and majestic!
The next second, all hell broke loose. Hundreds of crimson arrows shot out in the direction of the F-22 Raptor, covering the skies!
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
...
The speed of the F-22 Raptor was undoubtedly close to the speed of sound. With Yao Mei's speed of approximately 700 km / h it would be an impossible feat to reach them. However, Yao Mei had many ways of dealing with them.
Covering a wide area with a powerful attack, the 18 fighter planes exploded one by one. In less than 5 seconds, the only existence floating above the ocean and ruling the skies was a 14-15 years old teenager!
*Swoosh!*
The next second, the ocean, the destroyed island, the metal pieces floating on the ocean... Everything disappeared as if it were magic.
The old man looked at Yao Mei and bowed: "Good work, as expected from you, young miss... I am sorry to interrupt you in the middle of your training, however your father..."
Yao Mei said nothing. She descended from the sky, the wings behind her back slowly disappeared and the color of her eyes returned to normal.
She picked up her jacket from the ground and went to the exit without saying anything. From beginning to end, she never said a word.
