Boom! Kuaaarrr! A rampaging elephant collapsed at the entrance to a village, being taken down by a middle-aged man with long, flowing hair. His muscles were ripped to the extreme like a bodybuilder but still possessed a river-like fluidity and grace. "T-That is?" One of the villagers muttered in shock upon staring at the figure standing gallantly atop the elephant. "Y-Your Lordship!" Three kids panted as they chased after the middle-aged man from the forest behind, arriving at a stop as they…-

"You…monster!" A middle-aged lady clutched the corpse of her son and glared at the devil-like being hovering in the sky before her. "We should have killed you before!" "Maybe you didn't understand," The girl hovering in the air, Nefear spoke emotionlessly, "It's because of your actions that I was born." "And now, you're simply reaping the consequences." Saying so, she condensed a tiny ball of fire on her palm, jet black in colour, squirming with faint bluish tendrils. The ball of fire transformed…

"The legend passed down in the village was wrong?" The Village Head asked in shock, "But how?" "Well, it was natural, I guess." The man tilted his head casually, "Since they all lost favour from me." "L-Lost favour?" The girl seated next to him trembled in fear, feeling disbelief at the statement, "But Your Lordship, how is that possible?" "What Deity do you think I am?" The man smiled gently, but for some reason, everyone felt chills upon hearing it. "It's presumptuous of us to guess Your…

"We believe Your Lordship is our Guardian Deity!" A girl in her late teens said in part hurry part excitement. Before her was a man in his early twenties, sporting reddish-brown hair that resembled spikes of iron that was in the process of melting. His body was somewhat lean but it had a sickly feel to it as if he were a poisoned blade. 'Guardian Deity…huh?' The man thought as he stared at the girl, for a moment unleashing a tinge of killing intent that somewhat terrified her, causing her to be on…

The final authority of a Deity was the Mode of Bestowal. Basically, this was the channel that connected the Deity to the Believers, whether in terms of prayers or giving a blessing. The Mode of Bestowal was typically nature aligned. If a Deity's Mode of Bestowal was through the earth, then all a believer had to do was create the Deity's symbol using the earth to pray or request a blessing. And the blessing would be bestowed upon him through that symbol made of earth. This Mode of Bestowal was by far…

The boar had climbed partway up the mountain when it stopped. Seated on its back was Compass Carburettor, breaking into a smile upon sensing a surge of energy within himself. "I knew he would figure it out." A Deity was represented by their heroic tales. So, whatever they did was what represented them in the future. Had Compass Carburettor slayed a boar before their eyes, that would become his legend. Though of course, killing a boar wasn't deific enough. Maybe there was a stampede of ferocious…

"Village Head! Something happened!" An old man was seated peacefully on the veranda of his house, sipping tea when a villager shouted in urgency. "Did an elephant or something arrive?" The Village Head still maintained his cool and continued to enjoy his favourite tea. "Our God arrived!" The villager said while out of breath. Pffft! 𝓲nn𝑟𝚎𝙖𝘥. 𝐜𝚘𝐦 The tea spilled out of his mouth like a jet, creating a beautiful arc in the air as the Village Head emptied out all the content…

The greater the number of believers, the stronger their faith, and the greater the worship; it would result in a strong Deity. Conversely, if the number of believers dwindled, the Deity's strength would take a sharp hit. So in this power system, none could take a resolutely strong position. After all, the strength of a Deity depended on the strength of its people. So, even if Compass Carburettor were to become exceptionally powerful, once he clashes against his enemies, his people would take a hit…

'It seems the supernatural element here is related to faith.' Compass Carburettor thought as he observed the morphing expressions of the sibling duo. Of course, it was him all along, acting mysterious the moment a chance presented itself. What Arnark had said when he sacrificed Lore was indeed the truth, as he verified it before he was assimilated into the world. All six of them would have the same starting point. Compass Carburettor too had installed the same setup, after all, he had absolute…

Snort! A boar went around a forest, using its tusks to scrape the bark of a moist tree to reach the algae growing behind. It ate the algae patch, consumed a couple of mushrooms growing nearby and then proceed to sniff out the next potential algae patch. There were traces of tree bark being removed at the foot of many trees, all thanks to its appetite. The boar was massive in stature, spanning a length surpassing two metres, weighing almost a ton. To maintain such a statue, it had a voracious…
