I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 147 --The Terrified Spellbeasts

A dense and almost suffocating surge of elemental power swept through the heavens and earth saturating the atmosphere with a richness that even those miles away could easily detectElementalization that legendary supreme rank was the ultimate aspiration of countless humans and spellbeasts alike a miraculous transformation that could render one immune to most physical attacks and partially immune to magical assaultsIf they could capture this human and study his secret it might be possible to glimpse the profound mysteries of elementalization which so many had dreamed of yet never even approachedThe moment Dark Shark OneEyed Blood Wolf King and the other powerful spellbeasts laid eyes upon Frank they could no longer restrain themselves their eyes flashing greedily their expressions morphing into those of ravenous wolves who had just spotted fresh preyIn their hearts an uncontrollable hunger surged fueled by the tantalizing thought of tasting the blood and flesh of an elementalized awakenerAfter all it was precisely because of those human elementalized powerhouses that humanity despite losing so much territory had managed to cling to survivalThese rare beings stood as unbreakable shields protecting humanity’s final bastionsThus the spellbeasts coveted them immensely dreaming feverishly of devouring such exalted existences to perhaps inherit a sliver of their unearthly powerIn an instant driven by their overwhelming greed some spellbeasts entirely lost reason accelerating their descent towards Annasi Town like hawks diving for preyBillowing demonic mist like a living nightmare unfurled across the sky blotting out the sun casting an apocalyptic gloom over the landAnnasi Town which had basked moments earlier under clear skies was now shrouded in a heavy oppressive darkness the townsfolk trembling as they looked upFrank standing calmly amidst the panicking crowd was completely unfazed despite being the primary target of countless murderous gazesHis expression remained as steady as a deep ocean his breathing calm even as the dark tide of doom closed inAs the monstrous spellbeasts plunged toward him faster and faster Frank tightened his grip on the ancient scroll bestowed upon him by Deus Initium preparing to unfurl it and unleash its divine protection at the most critical momentHowever just as he was about to act a searing heat tore through the airWithout warning roaring flames erupted from the void twisting the air into shimmering ripples of distortionA giant hand forged of molten lava burst forth exuding an aura of unimaginable mightThe gigantic flaming hand surged toward the descending spellbeasts like a divine judgmentThe temperature it radiated was so fierce that the very fabric of space seemed to wail and distort the heavy demonic mist was instantly vaporizedThe blinding radiance of the flames stabbed into the spellbeasts’ flesh like searing spears burning their bodies and souls alikeA sacred and agonizing sensation overwhelmed their sensesThe spellbeasts instinctively tried to resist unleashing every hidden technique every desperate struggle they could muster to extinguish the flamesBut to their mounting horror the fire clung to them stubbornly like a curse fused to their very existenceEven when they unleashed their most precious secret arts to defend themselves it was as futile as trying to stop a tsunami with a handful of sandAn unspeakable fear a primal terror rooted deep in their bloodlines blossomed within their heartsThese were no ordinary spellbeasts they hailed from powerful factions they had weathered countless bloody battles they had faced death itself and laughedYet never in all their existence had they encountered a power so vast so utterly unassailableAll their knowledge all their arrogance was shattered in an instantThe aberrant flames were not just strong they were absoluteBefore them they were less than insects attempting to resist a raging infernoAnd so with the fiery hand igniting the attacking spellbeasts like candlesthe entire town of Annasi erupted into frenzied cheersThe villagers whose faces had moments earlier been twisted in fear now shouted with ecstatic relief tears streaming down many facesThey had seen death descending from the skyEach spellbeast was a towering monstrosity whose sheer size alone blotted out Heaven’s VeilTheir auras of slaughter and malice had suffocated all hope within human heartsHad this been the past they would have dropped to their knees begging for mercy hoping only to be sparedResistance was unthinkable surrender inevitableBut now because of Deus Initium’s divine intervention those towering threats had been reduced to helpless preyDeus InitiumDeus InitiumTheir voices rose as one a tidal wave of devotion and gratitude as they prostrated themselves before the titanic flaming handOnce again Deus Initium had saved them his overwhelming divine might crushing their despair and filling their hearts with unshakable faithAt the same time across Owen’s entire dominionpeople looked up their eyes wide with shock and aweEven from afar they could see the monstrous spellbeasts hurtling through the skiesThey could feel the oppressive dread emanating from them heavier than mountainsBut then they had also witnessed the fiery hand’s descenthow it effortlessly swatted aside those seemingly unstoppable forces as if they were nothing but dustIn size in power in majesty Deus Initium’s hand reigned supreme utterly invincibleAs the spellbeasts writhed and howled in agony under the divine flames the sky itself trembled and rumbledThen from the depths of the heavens a voice filled with infinite majesty and unchallengeable authority resonated across the landAll who offer sincere faith shall be shielded and blessed by this deityHenceforth spellbeasts and aberrations shall become nothing more than fleeting shadowsOwen’s divine proclamation magnified by supernatural power rolled like thunder across every village and plain every river and mountain within his territoryThose who heard it reacted in a myriad of waysSome wept with joy their faces radiant with hopeThey had seen with their own eyes the impossible wrought before themTheir survival their prosperity all could now hinge upon the simplest act of sincere worshipA price they would gladly payOthers however remained skepticalThese were the bitter ones who had once cried for help under spellbeast rule and received no answerTheir hearts had been hardened against all notions of gods and miraclesThough their eyes could not deny what they had witnessed their souls recoiled stubbornlyStill more were simply bewildered lost in the enormity of what they had just seenThese were villagers who lived relatively untroubled livesThe idea of a living deity seemed absurd to them little more than ancient folkloreBut now staring at the endless fire that painted the sky with its searing brilliance and the rain of defeated spellbeast corpses doubt crumbled in their mindsSafety was within reach if only they opened their heartsIt was a blessing too profound to rejectThe emotional impact shattered their old beliefs and molded them anewWithout hesitation many fell to their knees bowing weeping prayingRespected Deus Initium your loyal devotees humbly beg for your protectionGuard our villages as you have guarded Annasi Town and we shall forever offer our worshipFrom all corners of the land came the anguished and hopeful criesFor unlike Annasi Town which was fortified by awakeners and now protected by a true godmost villages had few defenders a handful of awakeners at best utterly helpless before spellbeast raidsThe sight of so many spellbeasts slain had given them hope where once there had been only despairAs more and more villagers surrendered themselves to fervent prayera palpable aura of devotion began to weave itself across Owen’s landsMeanwhile Madam Spider who had hidden herself amidst the chaos with dreams of seizing advantageshuddered violently as she stared at the flaming handAll her cunning all her schemes seemed utterly meaningless nowWithout hesitation she abandoned her meticulously woven web and with a desperate leap hurled herself away from Annasi Town seeking only to fleeShe had thought herself strong superior even among spellbeastsBut now faced with this chasm of power she realized her arrogance had nearly led her to suicideEven if she allied with all the attacking spellbeasts combined she could not hope to resistAnd they had been eradicated in an instant without even laying eyes upon Deus Initium’s true formThe very thought chilled her soulSuch an entity was not merely powerful he was an absoluteA force of nature itselfEscape was her only hope survival her only thoughtElsewhere Black Viper who had hidden in the shadows waiting for the right opportunity also watched the cataclysm unfoldThose who had fallen were only marginally weaker than himselfYet they had perished without resistance crushed like insectsHis blood ran cold as he understood the true nature of this disasterThis was no battlefield this was a trapWhat he had thought a chance to seize a future elementalized powerhouse was in truth an invitation to dieHis mind flashed back to the one time he had glimpsed a tier7 spellbeast during a great assemblyThat existence had been terrifying beyond wordsYet compared to the might displayed by Deus Initium’s molten hand that tier7 spellbeast seemed laughably insignificantThe realization drove a spear of pure terror into Black Viper’s heartThis was a being beyond tier7 beyond comprehensionA being whose mere whim could annihilate him without a traceAt that moment Black Viper resolved that if by some miracle he survived this encounterhe would flee this cursed landand never ever return again not even in his most darkest dreams.
