Things were far from over, as immediately afterward, a flame with thirty-five colors surged into Gabriel's flesh, instantly triggering a monumental wave of World Energy.
Although Cain possessed the skill necessary to perform a 36 Revolution Refinement, he deliberately chose not to do so in Gabriel's case—and for two compelling reasons.
First and foremost, Gabriel could provide little to no assistance during such an intricate process. Thus, every ounce of the immense strain required for the refinement would fall solely upon Cain.
Given the approaching Omega War, Cain simply couldn't afford to squander precious Spiritual Destiny Force beforehand.
Secondly, and equally crucial, if Gabriel sustained serious or life-threatening injuries in battle, Cain could still employ the 36 Revolution Refinement to rescue him, effectively bringing him back from death's door. It was a crucial safety net, strategically preserved.
