Once this trait collapsed and dispersed, it would likely never reappear unless someone could once again comprehend the sacred trait, condense it into their own core power, and advance to the level of a Hell Lord.
This conflict originating from the traits themselves had also caused Lucifer's fallen power to suffer a tremendous backlash. That was why he had taken a step back.
Although the staff in his hand could still unleash the power of sacred white flames, its might had weakened considerably.
And if he forcibly launched another attack combining the two trait powers, the pure trait within the staff would likely collapse on its own in an instant and return to this world's Origin Sea.
Only one chance remained.
With this single opportunity, it was unlikely he could seal the Goat-Man Devil, who possessed a hell projection.
Wu Heng had once done something similar.
At the time, he had wanted to merge the power of Blood Floss with fear. Even though he had controlled both "traits," the fusion had still become extremely unstable, and the resulting explosion had been terrifyingly powerful.
Lucifer here had merely done the same thing.
More importantly, he had never controlled the sacred trait he had now discarded, making it even harder to control.
Wu Heng had the Lighthouse world behind him, along with countless story worlds. That meant countless possibilities, and he could seek out a way to achieve fusion.
But Lucifer was different.
In this world, Hell Lords had demonstrated every kind of margin for error to them over countless ages.
In their eyes, trait fusion was a completely wrong path—something absolutely impossible to accomplish. Some Hell Lords had even had their souls annihilated and perished completely because of it.
Thus, according to this world's understanding, this was absolutely a dead end.
