I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 135 --Alina’s Questioning

At this very moment, Alina’s heart was filled with deep, burning regret. If she hadn’t been so greedy... If she hadn’t taken the initiative to launch a divine war... With her potential and talent, she would undoubtedly have had a brilliant future ahead. She could have easily become one of the top deities in the entire universe.

But now?

Now, she had encountered something beyond her worst imagination—an existence that seemed like a monstrous aberration, someone entirely out of sync with this era, a total freak!

She was being completely crushed in every conceivable aspect.

There wasn’t even a sliver of hope for victory.

Despair and remorse surged through her chest like a flood.

She had never once imagined that death could come so close. That she, after having become a god for less than a year, might be reduced from a lofty, high-and-mighty deity to a mere corpse.

She was unwilling to accept it!

After all, becoming a god had gifted her the intoxicating power of controlling life and death over her entire dominion. That sense of absolute authority—it was addictive. Like a drug of divine sovereignty, it had consumed her, made her lose herself.

And yet now... her own life and death were no longer in her hands.

"How is this possible?! How can a deity ascend ranks so quickly?!"

"I was already incredibly lucky to reach 1-Star Peak Ancient God... How could there be another deity who advanced even faster than me? This has to be a nightmare! It must be a nightmare!!"

Unable to accept the cruel reality, Alina’s mind spiraled into the depths of madness.

Based on her prior calculations, she should have been one of the leading figures among the many deities of the star system. She had just recently participated in the Interstellar Deity Exchange, where she had earned an impressive 20th place.

In a galaxy home to billions of gods, being ranked 20th was no small feat.

If one were to look at it purely by rankings, then out of billions of deities, there were only 19 who had a higher standing than her.

That was why she had been so confident in initiating this divine war.

Even if she ended up fighting someone ranked above her, she believed she could still put up a decent fight.

But never had she imagined she would run into something this horrifying—an entity beyond comprehension.

Someone whose Vassal God was already at the 1-Star Peak stage... That could only mean one thing.

That being’s main godhood level had already far surpassed the 1-Star threshold... He had to have reached the 2-Star tier!

A 2-Star Ancient God.

That was Alina’s next target, the next realm she had dreamed of reaching.

But now, faced with such a gap in divine ranking, she realized something painfully clear—no trick or strategy could close that distance.

It was a chasm too vast to cross.

Meanwhile, on the Rainbow Bridge...

James and Tommy stared across the bridge at the scattered formation of Infernal Envoys and ghosts belonging to the opposing dark god.

Both of them exchanged glances, a faint trace of confusion flickering in their eyes.

Was this it?

Was this really all the enemy had?

The enemy’s Infernal Envoys and ghosts were shockingly weak—too weak, even! They weren’t even on the same playing field. The expected presence of powerful Vassal Gods was completely absent.

"Is this dark god... really that pathetic?" Tommy frowned. "I didn’t even know gods could be this weak."

Mia, standing beside them, shared the same disbelief. In fact, she had a strong feeling that if she were to go all-out, she could single-handedly annihilate the enemy’s entire contingent of Infernal Envoys and ghosts.

There was no need for this kind of large-scale mobilization at all.

Such feeble opponents couldn’t possibly help her stand out or gain the favor of Deus Initium.

She had been hoping for a glorious battle—one where she could prove herself, carve out a name, and perhaps even receive special recognition.

But this?

This was a joke.

Tommy and James looked at one another again and shook their heads with disappointment. As Vassal Gods under Deus Initium, they knew they were held in high regard. They saw this moment as a perfect opportunity to show their loyalty and gain more favor.

But this enemy... was simply not worth their effort.

"You all go handle it," James ordered indifferently. "Wipe out all the dark god’s Infernal Envoys and ghosts."

They had no motivation to even lift a finger. Let Mia and the others handle it quickly.

With that, Mia and the others nodded and charged forward like a tide of black flames, surging across the bridge and drowning the enemy troops in an instant.

On the other side, the dark god’s ghost commanders and Infernal Envoys were already paralyzed by the terrifying presence of James, Tommy, and Mia.

Not a single one of them had the courage to strike back.

They all fell into defensive stances, attempting to resist—but it was pointless.

They were completely annihilated within moments.

There was no challenge whatsoever.

"All the dark god’s Infernal Envoys and ghosts have been purged, O Great Deus Initium," James and Tommy reported calmly after glancing at the now spotless battlefield on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

As soon as they spoke, the bridge shimmered and disappeared.

The battle of Vassal Gods had officially ended.

Just like the previous battle of devotees, it had ended in complete domination.

Owen glanced at the victorious team and nodded. Everything had unfolded exactly as he had planned.

He had prepared for this day for a long time.

If any deity could stand toe-to-toe with him... now that would’ve been strange.

But being crushed?

That was to be expected.

Hard work? Talent? Strategy? All of that paled in comparison to the cheats he was packing.

The two battles were now concluded. It was finally time for him to step onto the field and put an end to this divine war once and for all.

Without hesitation, Owen took one step after another toward the center of the Rainbow Bridge. His overwhelming divine presence radiated outward, dyeing the heavens in a brilliant golden hue.

Opposite him stood Alina, now pale as death. Once a proud Silver God, her strength had already been weakened twice in succession.

And now, faced with Owen’s oppressive aura, she was visibly trembling.

She could barely keep herself upright. It felt like her knees were about to buckle before Owen’s immense pressure.

The difference in their ranks was already enormous, and after those two suppressions, she was no longer even a match for James or Tommy—let alone someone like Owen.

She swallowed hard and forced herself to ask, in a trembling voice:

"Are... are you really the nameless god who was transferred to the Taylor Star System just one year ago?"

Owen blinked in surprise.

Technically speaking, yes—he had been transferred to this place a year ago as a nameless god. But... this wasn’t the Taylor Star System.

"Taylor Star System? What are you talking about?" Owen narrowed his eyes, his voice cold as he countered the question.

"You’re not from the Taylor Star System?" Alina gasped.

Her shock deepened even further.

The Taylor Star System was home to billions of gods, all scattered across its many star clusters.

She had assumed this divine war was limited to the deities of Taylor.

She had never expected that there were deities from other star systems, let alone ones this powerful.

If even the Vassal Gods from elsewhere were this terrifying, what about the main gods?

Who exactly was Owen?

Where did he come from?

And... were all the gods in his home this unbelievably strong?

"Where exactly are you from?" she asked again, her bloodshot eyes glaring at Owen, voice now hoarse and filled with bitterness. "You didn’t ascend just a year ago, did you?"

She was practically growling.

"The difficulty of divine ascension is massive. Even if you spent zero divine points, even if you completed every single tier-1 task, there’s no way to accumulate enough divine points to rank up in just a year!"

"You... you must’ve been here for many years already, right?! You’ve been ascending far longer than you let on!"
