Chapter 153: Celestial Star: Immortal Phoenix Benu: Radiant Flame

Alive!

Alive!

Such simple words, especially for humans in the Golden Age, where it was almost effortless. In this era, humans did not experience aging, sickness, or death. As long as they didn't court death themselves, humans were nearly immortal.

But!

The boy endured endless pain. His brother had died when he was very young. That brother, who had depended on him, died. Why? He didn't know! There was no reason. His brother, like an abandoned child of this era, endured endless suffering.

All along, illness, pain, and chaos tormented his brother. Over time, his brother ultimately died. Even though he wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do.

In fact!

The corpse!

The soul!

Everything had disappeared without a trace. The boy was helpless, so he chose to join the selection for Titan warriors. Step by step, he hoped to resurrect his brother.

Actually!

The boy knew very well that with his talent and efforts, getting Lord Hyperion to notice him and revive his brother was almost impossible!

But!

At this moment.

The boy felt that his brother was about to be revived. He sensed his brother's presence again. Under the divine power of the Lord of the Underworld before him, his brother was truly about to awaken, about to be resurrected.

As time passed, under the guidance of Hades' divine power, the soul that had been sleeping within the boy's body gradually awakened.

The boy!

He was a naturally perfect Underworld warrior. Undeniably outstanding, he could bring great improvement to himself. But! To say he had no problems at all?

Hmm~~~

How to put it, what's gone is gone. Even without a perfect Underworld warrior, it's not that things can't continue.

But!

What Hades truly valued at this moment was this soul.

"What is this...?"

"What?!"

Hypnos and Thanatos, the Twin Gods, stared in disbelief at the soul Hades had retrieved. What was this? Such a perfect flame soul? How could it be? Could a human truly possess this? It was utterly unbelievable!

Indeed!

This was a soul perfectly containing endless flames. It was unimaginable that a human could nurture such a soul. This soul was the most perfect fire spirit.

With some cultivation, it could probably contain all divine flames. Hades possessed many divine flames, including the God-slaying Flame, the Forging Flame, the Solar Flame, and the Underworld Flame.

These were all divine flames he controlled. He had always studied nurturing a fire spirit, but a suitable fire spirit was hard to find.

Now, this was the most perfect fire spirit.

To put it simply!

The boy, though a perfect Underworld warrior, paled in comparison to his brother, the perfect fire spirit. The difference was night and day. Whether he had a perfect Underworld warrior was irrelevant, but having a perfect fire spirit was incredible.

"Is this..."

"Hmm?"

The soul gradually awoke, looking around in confusion. When it saw the brother prostrating before it, understanding suddenly dawned.

Hades didn't give the brothers time to reunite. He simply said, "You have awakened again, and whether you can survive depends on your effort. Swallow this divine flame, live, and you and your brother will always be together. If you fail, you will die forever."

Hades casually threw the God-slaying Flame in front of him. Under his brother's worried gaze, he smiled, showing no hesitation as he swallowed the God-slaying Flame.

In an instant!

His soul began to burn intensely, the immense flames raging, yet he continued to smile, looking earnestly at his brother without any retreat.

"Family bonds?"

"Terrifying!"

The Twin Gods remarked in awe. The power of such family bonds was terrifying. The God-slaying Flame's burn had unimaginable power. The mere thought of it was terrifying.

Because of this!

Under the terrifying burn of the divine flame, he showed no reaction. What did this signify? It was self-evident.

As time passed, the duration wasn't long. The soul, initially almost burned away, mastered the God-slaying Flame, transforming into a true fire spirit.

"Very good." Hades was satisfied. With a wave of his hand, the Forging Flame, the Solar Flame, and the Underworld Flame merged into the fire spirit's body.

At the same time!

The Celestial Star, long impatient, rushed out. With an eerie laugh, it entered the boy's body. The demonic star and divine flame covered the two brothers. When they emerged, they would be reborn!

The boy, now clad in dark purple Underworld armor, knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Celestial Star: Immortal Phoenix Benu: Radiant Flame!"

"Greetings, Lord Hades!"

Hades merely nodded indifferently, waiting for the fire spirit to be born. Radiant Flame knelt quietly, not standing up, waiting as well.

As time passed.

A flame-wrapped fire spirit appeared, smiling adorably, floating in the air. "Lord Hades!"

Hades indifferently said, "You brothers may return to the demonic star."

"Yes!"

Radiant Flame and the fire spirit exchanged glances and left together.

Hypnos pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Hades, this fire spirit, is it...?"

"Indeed." Hades said calmly, "This fire spirit is special. It can contain the power of the God-slaying Flame and master the Forging Flame. In the future, all collected divine flames can be merged into it. With its potential, its growth is limitless."

"Understood!"

The Twin Gods immediately understood. A perfect Underworld warrior? No! No! He wasn't the main focus. Compared to him, his brother, the perfect fire spirit, was the true focus.
