I Reborn as a God Within a Statue, And You Ask Me to Enslave All Gods?-Chapter 47 --Thomas Takes Action, Mission Progresses Rapidly

There was no way he would sell Infernal Artifacts for 10 divine points like that guy. After all, he had put in time and effort—it would be better to let his ghosts use them instead.

If that fool was really willing to work for free, then so be it. He would rather abandon the business altogether than lower his price any further!

While he was caught in this internal struggle, other deities also quickly noticed the sudden influx of 10 divine point Hellish Artifacts in the Trading Channel.

"Not a single divine point or spice point in profit... Who in the world is this idiot deity?"

"They may be monopolizing the market, but at the cost of losing money—what are they even thinking?"

Countless deities were immediately drawn to the ridiculously low-priced Infernal Artifacts that had appeared out of nowhere.

Even Goddess Mary noticed this situation and, without hesitation, spent 20 divine points to buy two Infernal Artifacts.

For ghosts, these artifacts were an absolute necessity—they could greatly enhance their rank and combat power.

Forging an Infernal Artifact required at least 10 divine points and a minimum of two hours.

At that rate, it was simply more convenient and cost-effective to buy them directly.

However, she couldn't understand why someone would sell Hellish Artifacts at such a huge time cost—what was their motive?

As she continued observing, she noticed that every single Hellish Artifact listed for 10 divine points was instantly purchased.

If you weren't fast enough, you couldn't even grab one.

Even though no one knew what this mysterious deity was thinking, one thing was clear:

A deal like this was too good to pass up.

Within a single day, all of Owen's Hellish Artifacts were instantly sold out—over thirty pieces in total.

"People always say that deities are calculating and scheming for their own gain, but I never expected to see a true saint among them—one who burns themselves to light the way for others!"

"Selling this many Infernal Artifacts in a single day—was he stockpiling them beforehand?"

"This guy is an anomaly, but this can't last forever."

Many deities shook their heads slightly, convinced that this was unsustainable and that he must have reached his limit after just one day.

...

Meanwhile, Owen continued forging Hellish Artifacts, watching the discussions unfold.

"At this price, I have absolutely no competitors!"

Owen was thrilled.

Even though this was exactly what he had expected, the rate at which he was earning divine points had still exceeded his projections.

Every time he listed a Hellish Artifact, it was immediately snapped up—far faster than before when he was selling at higher prices.

In just a little over a day, he had already earned 150 divine points. At this rate, he would recover his investment in no time.

From his current estimates, the number of deities advancing to 1-Star Ancient God would only continue to increase.

And with that, the demand for Hellish Artifacts would keep growing.

This was a massive market.

And in this huge market, he had zero competition!

Thinking about this, Owen felt more motivated than ever.

As long as other deities didn't have 50 order fragments, he could keep this business going indefinitely!

"Not bad—Thomas just led a team to slay another pre-tier-5 spellbeast?"

Seeing the system notification, Owen felt highly satisfied.

His fifth-stage mission progress had already reached three slain tier-5 spellbeasts—a speed he was more than happy with.

Suddenly, divine light fluctuated in front of him, forming a mirror-like screen that displayed Thomas's perspective.

Through this, Owen could observe the world through Thomas's eyes.

This was one of the fundamental abilities of a deity.

Since forging Hellish Artifacts was starting to feel a bit monotonous, he decided to check in on Thomas's progress.

"Not bad—the Savage Wolf King they just killed was a pre-tier-5 spellbeast that had been lurking deep in the mountains. And now, Thomas managed to find and slay it."

Owen muttered to himself.

Even though Thomas was only tier-4, his divine blessings, powerful skills, and team-based combat techniques allowed him to successfully take down pre-tier-5 spellbeasts.

And now that the Savage Wolf King was dead, the villagers who had been trapped here like livestock were filled with gratitude.

The Savage Wolf King had frequently attacked nearby villages and towns, capturing people and raising them as food.

They had tried to resist before, but they had always failed—those who fought back became its meals.

But now, the Savage Wolf King was finally dead!

Facing the grateful villagers, Thomas smiled and helped them to their feet, saying,

"This is simply my duty as a missionary. I have carried out this task under the decree of the divine. If you wish to express gratitude, direct it toward Deus Initium!"

"His presence grants us strength. His divine light brings hope to our once-dark lives!"

Thomas's voice was devout and resolute.

The surrounding villagers exchanged skeptical glances.

"Missionary?"

"A true deity... exists?"

"Does Deus Initium really exist?"

A burly young man hesitated, then summoned his courage to ask Thomas directly.

All 1,000+ villagers stared at Thomas, whose body radiated golden light.

They were deeply grateful to him, but when it came to the deity he spoke of, they were filled with doubt.

After all, some of them had come to this valley because they heard rumors of a god.

But instead of finding paradise, they had entered a living hell.

Throughout history, gods had always been legends—no one had ever truly seen one.

Faced with their conflicted expressions, Thomas responded with absolute sincerity,

"People of this land, Annasi was once in the same situation as you. Our village was surrounded by spellbeasts, and every day, we lived in terror."

"But four months ago, Deus Initium descended upon us!"

"I will never forget that day—Deus Initium chose me as his missionary and awakened many among us. Today, our village is full of awakened warriors, and we have cleansed all the spellbeasts from our land!"

"If you don't believe me, come with us to Annasi! Bathe in the divine light of Deus Initium, and from now on, you will have food, shelter, and freedom from the terror of spellbeasts and anomalies!"

"And if your faith in Deus Initium is strong enough, you may even awaken powers of your own!"

His words carried divine resonance, his voice spreading powerfully.

Many villagers still couldn't believe it, but some were already considering it.

After all, Thomas and the awakened warriors behind him were undeniably powerful—far stronger than any other awakeners they had seen before.

"Missionary, we are willing to follow you to the village!"

"We'll go too!"

"Count me in! I trust the missionary—he wouldn't deceive us!"

As soon as the first villagers stepped forward, many others followed suit.

Although some remained skeptical, Thomas didn't force anyone to go—he simply sighed with slight regret.

It was as expected—without Deus Initium personally descending, many people's minds remained shackled by disbelief.

But this wasn't a major issue.

Once the first wave of villagers reached Annasi and witnessed the divine power firsthand, word would spread—and the rest would eventually follow.

Besides, the village was still expanding. If 1,000 people arrived all at once, it would be too much for the settlement to handle.

"Anyone willing to come to Annasi, please register with Chief John. I still have spellbeasts to hunt, so I won't be joining you on the journey."

With that, Thomas led his team of awakened warriors deeper into the mountains.

The remaining villagers watched them with gratitude.

No matter what happened, Thomas and his people had saved their lives.

Soon, Thomas and his team arrived before a massive cave.

Inside, they could sense the presence of a pre-tier-5 Sabertooth Tiger!
