We all know that the world seed is not to be underestimated. Although it is still quite precious, it is not difficult for a powerful god to obtain one. The real challenge lies in cultivating this world seed into a true world tree. This is the most difficult task, even for an extremely powerful god, and success is not easily achieved.
What is truly surprising is that Hades accomplished this in a remarkably short time. He took a unique approach, cultivating his own world tree using other small worlds as nourishment, which carried significant risks. After all, crossing the Chaos Sea poses dangers; what if he were swallowed by it? What if foreign gods targeted him?
One could argue that while this method is clever, the associated risks are far too great. Hades succeeded, and if we calculate it, the probability of his success was only about 1% or even lower. Yet Hades' gamble paid off.
The divine power contained in the grown world tree not only supports the world but can also unleash all the laws within it with multiplied force as an attack. Even Koios, wearing Chu Zhen, would not dare to resist such power head-on, doing so could spell disaster!
"World Tree…" Koios thought to himself. "How did Hades manage this? It has only been about a million years since he escaped from his seal. How could he cultivate the world tree so quickly?"
This was what puzzled Koios the most: how Hades achieved such a feat.
"Dark Devouring."
However, Hades would not allow Koios the luxury of time to ponder. The endless darkness transformed into a terrifying giant beast once again, seemingly intent on devouring Koios. This time, with the divine power of the World Tree attached, this dark divine force had increased exponentially.
"Black Gale!"
In response, Koios did not intend to confront this blow head-on. Instead, he quickly drew his sword again, delivering a cross-shaped slash that severed the darkness.
"The Seal of the Magic Star."
Hades's offense was relentless. Countless seals emerged, dark purple chains seeking to completely ensnare Koios. Don't underestimate this attack; the magic star harbors golden apples.
The effect of the golden apple is quite formidable. No matter the god, even if the God of Light absorbs the power of the God of Darkness, this dark divine power will be transformed into the purest divine energy. While this process certainly consumes a lot, such consumption is negligible.
"Break!"
A sharp light flickered in Koios's eyes as he suddenly unleashed a powerful sword strike, as if this sword contained his ultimate skill, cutting through everything.
"Click click"
With the magic star's strange smile, Hades's attack was thwarted, and the magic star retracted, once again entwining Hades with its eerie laughter.
"I see!"
Koios looked at Hades and gradually understood. "Hades! You swallowed the small worlds, crossed the Chaos Sea, and stepped into other realms. I can't imagine how many small worlds you've consumed. Because of this, you were able to cultivate the world seed into the world tree in such a short time."
Hades remained silent, neither confirming nor denying this. It didn't matter. He simply opened his hands indifferently, and the laws of darkness and death condensed into two terrifying giant swords.
They fell from above, and with a sound of "crash la la," the dark purple leaves of the World Tree trembled, pouring strands of divine power into the two giant swords, transforming them into sky-piercing weapons aimed at Koios.
"Black Gale!"
The cross-shaped slash appeared again, seemingly intent on cutting through everything. However, this time, it did not sever the two giant swords.
The explosion of dark purple and lacquer black divine power filled the space between heaven and earth, obscuring the forms of Hades and Koios amid this endless power.
All that could be heard was the sound of destruction brought about by their relentless clash of divine forces.
When the chaos finally cleared, a trickle of blood dripped from Koios's forehead. It was astonishing that one of the Twelve Main God of the Titans, adorned in Chu Zhen, had been injured.
The so-called invincible defense of Chu Zhen, an artifact second only to the great secret treasure, should have protected him completely! Yet here was Koios, injured despite wearing such an artifact. It was indeed unbelievable!
Hades's gaze was indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. He remarked, "Koios, this is the power of Chu Zhen, and nothing more."
Though he showed no emotions, there was a palpable sarcasm in his tone. Even Koios, known as the enlightened one, felt an invisible anger ignite within him. After all he was a god, the God of Black Thunder, one of the twelve main gods of the Titans with countless titles. How had he ever been ridiculed like this?
"Hehehe"
Koios let out a soft chuckle. "Hades, I must admit, the World Tree and the Demon Star, these two blessings you possess, make it seem impossible for me to defeat you, even while clad in Chu Zhen."
Hades remained silent, simply awaiting Koios's next move.
The magic star was no less than Chu Zhen's artifact; indeed! Hades' magic star, Poseidon's Atlantis, and Zeus' Thunder Temple, while fetishes, were equivalent in value to Chu Zhen's treasures!
Now, with the magic star as his sharp blade and the World Tree as his armor, Hades wielded forces that rivaled even Chu Zhen's power. In a direct contest of divine power, it was absurd!
The magic star and the World Tree provided Hades with inexhaustible divine energy. Under such conditions, it was not just possible to overwhelm Koios, it was nearly a certainty.
As this unfolded, an overwhelming will emerged from Koios's body, transforming into a deep purple brilliance. This manifestation resembled a giant clock tower.
Wielding the thrusting sword of Chu Zhen, Koios became a symbol of power, his presence magnified several times by the faint light that enveloped him!
"Ultimate Power."
Hades observed Koios and knew precisely what he was using.
