I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 100 --Aberrant Element

"Elementalization!"

Hearing Revan’s sudden outcry, everyone present had their pupils contract sharply, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Though they weren’t as well-traveled as Revan, they had read about "elementalization" in old village tomes and oral legends. They knew just how incredible it was!

It was said to be a legendary state—one where physical and magical attacks were greatly resisted, and combat strength would skyrocket due to elemental resonance.

But until now, they had never witnessed it with their own eyes, dismissing it as nothing more than myth.

Yet today, it had appeared before them—real and undeniable!

"Elementalization! Deus Initium actually bestowed a treasure that can grant elementalization... Could it be that our town will one day produce a legendary awakener?"

Thomas was overjoyed, unable to suppress the wide grin on his face.

Now that Frank had entered this rare state, Thomas was certain that Frank had become the strongest fighter in the village!

Even the surrounding spellbeasts would tremble in fear at his presence!

Meanwhile, in a faraway palace...

A resplendent seven-colored crystal standing proudly in the great hall suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light.

The golden-armored man guarding the crystal instantly opened his glowing, spear-like eyes, sharp and intimidating enough to make others unable to meet his gaze.

"The fluctuations of elementalization... Has another elite emerged among the human race?"

His eyes burned with fighting spirit. In an age where humanity had declined, every new elementalization-capable warrior was another precious line of defense for their people.

But as he gazed deeper into the crystal, his thick brows furrowed.

"Something’s not right... Though they’ve entered the state of elementalization, the aura is extremely weak..."

A true top-tier awakener capable of elementalization would never give off such a feeble presence!

"It’s more like... someone has entered the elementalization state without having the required strength or rank. Now this... is interesting."

After the initial surprise, curiosity bloomed in the man’s heart.

To enter elementalization ahead of schedule—such occurrences were exceedingly rare.

"Must be some kind of special physique that allowed him to enter early. I wonder what kind it is..."

He murmured softly and ran a hand over the glowing seven-colored crystal.

"In over fifty years, this is the seventh elementalized individual to appear in California. While he’s not yet a top-tier warrior, anyone with such potential is bound to reach that level in the future."

"People like this... surely others will try to claim him for themselves."

His narrowed eyes flickered with complex emotions.

After a while, he finally stood and walked out of the ancient hall that had long been sealed.

As the doors opened on their own with no wind, sunlight spilled in instantly, illuminating his form.

Warm rays, fresh air, the feeling of freedom...

Familiar yet distant. And in that moment, long-buried memories stirred.

He had stayed here for over fifty years—barely ever leaving. Only when a human achieved elementalization did he emerge.

After all, his duty was to guard the seven-colored Element Crystal—and once it sensed a new elementalization awakening, he would act.

Just then, the crystal projected a spectral map before him, highlighting a specific location.

He glanced at it and immediately recognized the place:

Black Iron.

"Black Iron? That tiny place actually produced an elementalization prodigy?"

He was surprised. In the past, those with the potential to elementalize always came from the most powerful factions or major cities.

For such a genius to emerge from Black Iron... truly rare!

"Since he’s one of our race’s prodigies, he must be protected and helped to grow. Once he fully masters elementalization, even the so-called kings of spellbeasts will crumble like dirt before him."

He muttered, voice full of conviction.

If the one who awakened was already a top-tier elementalization warrior, he wouldn’t worry—such humans were not to be trifled with.

But this time, the one who awakened was a genius, not yet a powerhouse.

If the spellbeasts discovered him, they would spare no effort to hunt him down.

Not only did elementalization strike fear into their kind, but consuming such a genius could bring them immense benefits.

And if he had sensed it, the spellbeasts likely had as well.

The prodigy’s situation was dire—like a lone lamb surrounded by wolves!

"...Better he be devoured by me than by other spellbeasts. That way, I can grow stronger—become humanity’s true savior!"

A grotesque smile—one filled with Aberration—crept across his face.

Drool dripped from the corner of his mouth. He could barely hold himself back.

But just as he stepped out of the palace—

Reality shifted.

The world around him shimmered.

He thought he had exited the hall, but the next instant, he was right back at its center—as if he’d never left at all!

"Damn it!"

"That elementalization prodigy—better eaten by me than by anyone else!"

He roared in fury, struggling desperately to break free. But no matter how he raged, he remained trapped inside.

"I’ve already made it outside before... You can’t trap me forever! One day, I’ll be free!"

He howled, slamming his fists furiously against the seven-colored Element Crystal, trying to shatter it—but he didn’t leave a single scratch.

"Next time... next time another elementalization awakens, I will break free. I swear it!"

Back in Annasi Town...

As Frank fully entered elementalization, his body turned into a swirling mass of black mist.

The mist gradually reshaped itself into his form, and the cold aura pouring from him felt like an arctic storm—sharp and deathly still.

Black snowflakes began drifting through the air.

These flakes didn’t melt or fade—they looked like finely-forged obsidian blades, slicing faint black lines into the very air they passed through.

"Wait... this seems like Aberrant Ice Element!"

Revan stared intently, then spoke with certainty.

Ice, among all elements, was considered an Aberrant Element—rare and mutable.

Among aberrant elements, it ranked as one of the most powerful!

Frank was around Revan’s age, but had now received Deus Initium’s favor and was directly granted the ability to elementalize. Revan was filled with jealousy.

After all, in terms of bloodline and talent, Revan completely outclassed Frank.

But now, with elementalization, Frank had leapfrogged past him!

Revan, as Tommy’s son, had shown remarkable awakening talent from a young age. Through his own efforts, he had reached the tier-3 awakener level.

Yet all of his pride meant nothing before elementalization!

"If only I could elementalize too..."

Longing burned in Revan’s eyes.

Elementalization wasn’t just a massive combat boost—it also provided huge advantages when it came to leveling up or advancing in rank.

His father had already earned the favor of Deus Initium. If he could be just as devout, then maybe... this dream wouldn’t be out of reach!

This thought only made him more excited.

A once-ordinary awakener had just undergone a miraculous elemental transformation before his eyes. For someone like Revan, who pursued power with his whole heart, this was a monumental source of inspiration!

Anyone who could elementalize would eventually grow strong—strong enough to alter the course of humanity’s fate!

That was his dream.

He used to believe it unreachable.

But now, it suddenly felt... possible.

Meanwhile, others like Thomas and John were equally stunned as they gazed at the levitating Frank.

"Aberrant Ice Element?"

They, too, understood what that meant.

Ice was born of the four base elements—earth, fire, wind, and water. Any aberrant element born from them was never weak!

And Ice, in particular, was among the rarest and most versatile.

Frank had, without a doubt, ascended in a single step.
