Ever since Ange pilfered the Soul Flame of faith, Negris knew this day would eventually come. Godhood, divine power itself, could not be far off once faith was present, unless prematurely discovered and struck down by a True God.
But the problem was, the King was missing.
As long as no one stood in Ange's way, with his current scale of followers, he should be able to ignite the Divine Fire and accomplish godhood in a few hundreds of years.
You may think it's slow, but there was one slower: the God of Knowledge... .
Negris himself had taken more than six thousand years to ignite the Divine Fire. It was fortunate that he, as a Bronze Dragon, led an exceedingly long life, or he would have long ago succumbed to old age.
Originally, he thought that igniting the Divine Fire would take several hundred years. Who would have thought that the former godhood was sealed in the Death Flame within the Resting Camp, shortening Ange's accumulation period by several hundred years?
