Once upon a time, Hades obtained a flame that inexplicably contained a trace of God-Slaying Power in its embryonic form. Though it was only an embryonic form and constantly dissipating, Hades recognized its potential. If he had obtained the flame a bit later, the God-Slaying Power within would have completely disappeared. It was understandable and entirely normal.
After acquiring the flame, Hades preserved it carefully. Although the God-Slaying Power within continued to dissipate over time, it was enough for him. Hades successfully preserved the flame to this day, perfectly maintaining it.
Now, with the God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method in his grasp, Hades decided to use this power as a core to fully develop the flame. This was merely a thought, but attempting it wouldn't cause any loss. If it succeeded, it would be a tremendous gain. If it failed, there was nothing to lose.
Given the constant dissipation of the God-Slaying Power within the flame, Hades acted cautiously. He meticulously studied and refined the flame, using the God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method to transform it into the God-Slaying Flame.
Gradually, a flame emitting golden-red light, initially just a small spark, began to grow. This process wasn't quick, but reaching this stage was crucial.
"The God-Slaying Power is gradually merging with the flame," Hades observed, whispering, "Perhaps due to their inherent connection, the integration is seamless."
Hades understood that this was the most troublesome step. The compatibility of the God-Slaying Power with the flame was uncertain. Any issue could create significant problems. This wasn't something to be taken lightly.
Hades knew that the God-Slaying Power couldn't be integrated into just anything. Overall, the process went smoothly.
With the perfect integration of the God-Slaying Power into the flame, the creation of the God-Slaying Flame was successful. The first step was perfect. Subsequent steps would be simpler, as long as the first step was completed.
Creating the God-Slaying Flame from scratch would be immensely difficult. Hades could only proceed with the creation after obtaining the God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method.
Hades's actions were meticulous and perfect. The God-Slaying Flame was created, albeit in its embryonic form. Creating it was the most crucial step. Subsequent steps would involve gradual refinement.
The God-Slaying Flame now existed. Although the God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method wasn't entirely suitable for the flame, many aspects could be adapted.
Hades could gradually nurture the flame, taking his time. There was no need to rush.
For Hades, completing this step was already extremely important.
"Success is the best outcome."
A smile appeared on Hades's face. The God-Slaying Thunder Cultivation Method represented a power anyone could theoretically master. However, the God-Slaying Flame was different; it was Hades's creation and would become one of his trump cards.
For gods, the more trump cards, the better. More trump cards meant greater power in battles against other gods.
"Besides..."
Hades raised his hand, and three flames appeared before him.
Divine flames, like the magic star, were unique powers. Each divine flame had different strengths and targets.
The God-Slaying Flame was self-explanatory. Additionally, there was the Flame of the Underworld, targeting souls, and the Solar Divine Flame, capable of burning everything.
Gathering divine flames could unleash incredible power. Hades had been diligently collecting them. Although he had only collected three divine flames so far, this was impressive. With the God-Slaying Flame, the potential power was immense.
Hades stored the three divine flames and mused, "If I could find a fire spirit that could perfectly contain the three divine flames, that would be ideal."
He sighed, knowing that a fire spirit capable of housing multiple divine flames would have a potential power level of an Ancient God.
