I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 101 --Stage 12 Mission

Frank’s combat power had already placed him among the top fighters in Annasi Town and he was also one of the earliest believers in Deus Initium.

Now, having received a blessing from Deus Initium, he had gained the ability to elementalize his body—an immense leap in strength.

If any powerful spellbeast were to attack their village again, with Frank’s elementalized combat prowess, he could hold his ground—or even slay a tier-5 spellbeast!

This was undeniably thrilling news!

"This is of utmost importance! Deus Initium’s blessing this time is simply too great. Spread this news to every corner of the town immediately—make sure the surrounding villages hear it too!"

Thomas turned swiftly to John and the others, issuing his orders.

Devout belief in Deus Initium not only granted the chance to become one of his Vassal Gods, but could also allow one to elementalize early, gaining powers far beyond their current level.

It must be understood—elementalization was not just a simple state. It signified a complete transformation, a powerful evolution.

Such a rousing announcement needed to be spread far and wide, so that the people of the towns and villages would deepen their faith in Deus Initium, and so the nearby settlements would realize that believing in Deus Initium was their only path forward.

Only through his blessings could they survive in this perilous world.

Of course, a large-scale publicity effort might draw the attention of spellbeasts.

But at this point, even setting Deus Initium aside, their own strength had grown significantly. And with someone like Frank as their ace awakener,

if those spellbeasts dared attack, it would be no different than them walking to their deaths!

John and the others immediately understood Thomas’s intentions and nodded. Once they had handled the matter at hand, they would waste no time spreading the news.

Not long after—

Under countless envious gazes, Frank’s level began to surge. From a tier-3 beginner, he soared all the way to tier-4 mid in one breath!

Such a leap across an entire major tier left the crowd utterly stunned.

After all, for ordinary folk, even breaking through a single level was an arduous task.

Now, Frank’s breakthrough felt almost dreamlike—like an illusion.

After his level-up, Frank’s elementalized body swiftly stabilized and recovered.

If he had once looked like any ordinary man, now the fierce aura he exuded made him seem like a legendary war general!

Just standing near him gave off an oppressive and chilling sense of dread.

Frank had already been stronger than most, but now, with this aura, even the onlookers felt a natural sense of reverence.

Some even noticed that when Frank landed on the ground, the icy energy flowing from his feet had frozen the earth, a thick layer of frost spreading outward!

"Frank’s transformation is incredible!"

"Yeah—he really looks like a battle-hardened general now!"

The village youth stared at him in disbelief.

They had always known Frank well, but now, after such a drastic transformation, they were filled with awe and envy. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Not only had his level skyrocketed, but his appearance had changed significantly, and his whole presence had evolved.

Under the villagers’ admiring gazes, Frank looked down at his transformed body in disbelief.

Though he had now exited his elementalized state, he could still strongly sense the elements in the air around him.

Even without elementalization, he could fight on par with a tier-4 advanced awakener.

And once elementalized, he was confident he could challenge—or even eliminate—a tier-5 advanced awakener!

It was only by truly entering the elementalized state that he realized the mysteries within it.

Any attack that struck his elementalized body felt as if it hit mere air—its power drastically reduced, barely able to harm him at all.

"Great Deus Initium, thank you for your divine gift!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude for his transformation, Frank immediately bowed in reverence before the deity’s statue.

The incredible growth he had undergone far surpassed anything he had ever imagined.

Before encountering Deus Initium, his greatest wish was simply to have enough food and to live a peaceful life.

Now, thanks to Deus Initium, not only was that wish fulfilled effortlessly—

he had risen to levels he had never dared dream of.

This transformation was entirely due to Deus Initium!

Without him, Frank knew that he might never have become an awakener—not even in old age.

All the more reason to revere and be grateful to Deus Initium.

"Thank you, great Deus Initium. Your devotee offers praise!"

At once, Frank bowed deeply before the statue again.

Nearby, Thomas, John, and the others also knelt in devotion.

Though they hadn’t received direct blessings this time, the fact that Deus Initium had granted such a gift to one of them meant he valued them.

If they continued to serve well, perhaps they could be the next Tommy—or the next Frank!

...

Within the statue, Owen’s gaze was like a blade, piercing through Frank’s transformed body.

"Elementalization... so this is what only top-tier awakeners can master?"

Owen gave a low whistle, clearly surprised.

From his perspective, Frank’s body seemed made of condensed ice. Just gazing at him sent waves of frigid air outward.

In real combat, Frank’s potential would be far more terrifying.

"Back during the Divine Order Tournament, I acquired quite a few Awakening Scrolls—these would help greatly in raising awakener levels."

"But Frank hasn’t fully mastered elementalization yet. I’ll wait until the next sacrifice ritual and upgrade him again. He will become the undisputed strongest awakener in this entire region!"

The stronger an awakener, the greater their value in the Divine War.

Especially a talent like Frank, personally elevated by Owen—once unleashed onto the divine battlefield, he’d be unstoppable!

Owen was very pleased with Frank’s transformation.

Without delay, he opened his system interface.

According to his understanding, the system’s major storyline mission—Path to Godhood—had 12 stages.

He had already completed 11 stages and received extremely generous rewards.

Now, with a bit of time left, he wanted to see if he could complete Stage 12 and further strengthen his foundation and power.

[Path to Godhood – Stage 12 Mission]

As a god, you now possess your own Vassal God, and are beginning to take on the true shape of a deity. However, your number of devotees is still too few.

Continue expanding your ranks of devotees, for they are the true foundation of any god!

Reach 20,000 devotees to complete this final stage.

Mission Reward:

100 low-tier Awakening Scrolls

20 mid-tier Awakening Scrolls

3 advanced Awakening Scrolls

3 Enhanced Farmland Scrolls

500 Divine Points

After reading the final mission, Owen wasn’t too surprised.

He also felt that many of his growth avenues had hit bottlenecks. The best way forward was to continue expanding his devotee base.

The more devotees he had, the faster he could grow—and the greater his advantage would be in the Divine War.

Naturally, this final mission came with a higher difficulty level, but its rewards were appropriately generous.

Thinking this through, Owen focused his mind, and the god mark on his forehead lit up.

The god mark stored all information within his domain. He wanted to know—just how many people currently lived within his territory, and how many were now his devotees?

Current population within domain: 21,252!

Seeing the system’s reply, Owen was surprised.

Annasi had once been home to just a few hundred people, and now it had reached such numbers?

He hadn’t noticed the growth until now—and was genuinely astonished.

But soon, a smile spread across his face again.

According to system rules, anyone who had lived in the domain for more than two months was considered a citizen of Annasi Town.

As long as they were not resistant to it, their information would be recorded by the god mark automatically.
