In the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Hades is sitting on the throne with the power of nothingness, while Kushi Inada Hime stands sideways, smiling as she looks at the power of nothingness in her hands. For Hades, what he believes in most of the time is to practice the truth.
Only at this moment, there is no thought of absorbing this power of nothingness; it would be a mistake! One can sense the endless special power just by observing it. If he absorbs the power of nothingness, it would be ultimate power versus nothingness power—he would be rendered powerless.
In reality, if one truly possesses the power of nothingness, one would understand that it is not a chaotic and mad power. On the contrary, it is very calm, embodying a sense of complete emptiness.
This is, in fact, quite natural. The madness and chaos associated with the Evil Gods do not stem from their power but from the process of being gradually consumed by it, leading them to become insane, chaotic beings.
The descent of the power of nothingness aligns with the ninth sense, akin to some saints who cut off all thoughts—good and evil—embracing nothingness and the universe with absolute emptiness, becoming the essence of nothingness, devoid of all feelings.
However, ultimate nothingness represents complete emptiness, making it very easy to be consumed by power and fall into madness.
Moreover, as one transcends the ninth sense to the tenth, they detach from absolute nothingness, reaching the mysterious state of absolute consciousness.
In this state, one abandons emotions and masters absolute consciousness, ultimately stepping out of the power of nothingness, regaining all that was once lost.
This cycle of losing and gaining leads to a profound understanding of the power of absolute nothingness, enabling one to possess the divine power necessary for further ascendance.
Sequence of Gods!
There are only 22 paths in the God Sequence, each with the potential to become an absolute god. This is the true horror of the God Sequence, which only grows more terrifying with time.
This is the real path of the Evil Gods—not madness and insanity, which is merely a false facade born from being controlled by power.
Hades gazed at the power of nothingness in his hand, contemplating bestowing it through the blessing of the World Tree. As long as the gods and Underworld fighters comprehend the power of nothingness, they could harness it for their own use in the future.
He had a bold idea: what if the Evil Gods, too, could integrate into his ultimate power? Although it was a daring thought, it was one worth pursuing.
However, Hades had yet to find a god suitable for the power of nothingness.
Among his Underworld deities, Hypnos and Thanatos showed the highest potential.
As for Cerberus, the dog god, he embodies the prototype of the power of nothingness, representing the ninth sense.
Unfortunately, Hades dismissed Cerberus; to put it bluntly, she was merely a pet. With just one copy, Cerberus was unworthy of wielding the power of nothingness. After considering this for a while, Hades sealed the power of nothingness carefully within the depths of the magic star.
There was no joking about this matter. If it were accidentally leaked, controlling the power of nothingness would require an iron will—its sheer willpower was formidable.
If mishandled, the entire Underworld could descend into chaos, a scenario Hades was unwilling to entertain.
"My lord!"
Kushi Inada Hime spoke softly.
Hades replied calmly, "Speak."
In terms of title, Kushi Inada Hime had also changed, signifying her unique status as a divine blessing. Don't underestimate Kushi Inada Hime; she was not just a mere divine blessing. In fact, as Hades' divine blessing, she was protected by the entire Underworld.
Moreover, while Kushi Inada Hime was essentially a common god just beginning her journey, her special identity allowed her to wield power comparable to that of a god king within the Underworld.
"My lord!"
"I think you should try to cultivate a god yourself."
"Considering the time, seventy-two demon gods are about to be born."
"You need to increase the power of the Underworld."
"At the same time, you must develop faith step by step."
Kushi Inada Hime's voice was ethereal and confident. For a god, a divine blessing acts as their closest messenger, akin to a family member—absolutely trustworthy.
"The Gods of the Underworld requires faith."
"Indeed!" Hades responded calmly. "The Gods of the Underworld are quite straightforward. If I wanted to, I could summon countless gods at will, but that would be meaningless. The Gods of the Underworld must contribute to the needs of the Underworld. Otherwise, their existence would be inconsequential.
Is it important to belong to the gods?
Very important, but not paramount!
For Hades, every god of the Underworld needs to enhance its realm. All the gods he has summoned must improve the functioning of the Underworld, whether related to death, sleep, darkness, or fate...
Many of these laws fall under the domain of Pluto. The Seventy-two Pillar Demon Gods, as the monarchs of Hell, will also bring significant improvements to the Underworld, which is why Hades chose them. Those unworthy of such a role provide no benefit to the Underworld at all; unless they are gods above the god king level, he shows no interest.
Kushi Inada Hime nodded slightly, saying, "Of course I understand. However, my lord, finding a God of the Underworld is not easy. You'll need to search in a small world or even across vast realms. Therefore, my lord, you could consider raising a god with the power of nothingness."
Hades pondered this for a moment, acknowledging the wisdom in her words. Exploring small worlds carries great risks, and his experience with the larger world, particularly the Japanese realm, had not been straightforward.
To be honest whether Hades, Poseidon, or Zeus, increasing the number of gods brings restrictions. The rationale is simple: random increases no longer yield improvements, and no matter how many insignificant entities exist, it becomes meaningless.
