17 I am a God now?
After Rael was done talking with his disciple he chose to roam around the temple as he had nothing better to do, while strolling in the wide grassy plains somehow his heart started beating faster.
He didn't know why that was happening, usually, he would keep his heart speed in control to maintain a breathing style that he would utilize and follow for maximum efficiency to boost the body at all times even at night, as he developed it like as if it was involuntary, like a fourth arm.
But today, his heart started to pump blood faster, this was unbelievable because it was not just a reflex but he could even use blood arts so normally this should have been impossible.
Not just his blood but he even felt a mysterious desire as if something was calling him, but he did not know what it was.
He felt an urge, it was as if his body was lusting after something but his mind was not.
'Is this how women feel against me?'
He shook his head and sighed a bit, reprimanding himself that he wasn't the center of the world but the divine plot armor firmly rejects this notion of his.
Rael trudged all around the massive garden, some people looked at him with a curious expression but before they could ask him anything he had already disappeared.
He sighed, 'If I can't find it by myself it is most probably because my mind does not desire it.'
Closing his eyes he started to sense all the energy around him as one would do during cultivation, slowly he could feel all the spiritual pores on his body open up as he sensed more spirits in the air.
His ears could hear the birds chirping, priests praying, and the wind swaying.
Now the last thing left to do was to leave everything to his subconscious, the body would sleepwalk towards the location or object or person that was calling him.
'Time to let my mind sleep, Mind Zero.'
Saying that in his mind, his consciousness swept away in deep slumber but not his body, his subconscious body moved towards where it desired to go.
The next moment Rael opened his eyes he was standing in a dark cave-like place, he had a frown as he started to observe his surroundings.
It was not exactly a cave, it was more of like a dead end and a wall stood upright in front of him.
He noticed the ground he was standing on which made him slightly raise his eyebrows a bit.
The ground was murky and filled with dark brown soil, fortunately, it was dried up so it didn't stick to his shoes, dark green vines rooted from out of the soil coiling the entire area with a color of green.
If one saw it from afar they would think it was filled with a long serpent due to how thick and long it was.
Judging from how the place was, Rael believed that the place didn't have many visitors in general and that the entire place was very old as vines and roots grew from every crack.
Following the vines on the ground with his beautiful violet eyes, he walked a bit further, his head bumped with the wall causing him to fall on his butt.
Rubbing his butt and the other hand on his head he tilted subconsciously to look at the sky.
Passed leaf, upon the moss, softened rock, came the sun rays that were promised by the starlit sky.
The rays illuminated a heavenly scenery.
Rael was alone at a dead end, the trees covered the view but he could still see the starry sky intersecting with the afternoon sky.
Dusk came sooner than he had expected, the last of the sun's rays cosseted behind soft grey clouds meeting the beautiful sky which was filled with candlelights.
Rael was a person who always appreciated good sceneries, being a fairy he absolutely loved nature.
Coming out of his daze, his head started to lower and lower this time what he saw was a shock, a shock that rattled his very bones.
It was a huge statue!
It stood proudly, with cracks all over, despite clearly being ancient it had a mysterious aura brimming with elegance and perfect mastery over everything.
In one hand of the statue was a glass of wine and in the other was a long dildo?....
After rubbing his eyes, again and again, it seemed like a long sword that had weathered over the years to look like the male genitalia, pointing towards the sky.
The statue was wearing loose and long robes gently revealing a little bit of the left nipples which just looked like a peach that had been crushed over the years.
The face of the statue seemed stoic yet quite brilliant but also not the kind of beautiful one would want to see, even the dumb could say that it was ugly and had been crafted like that on purpose.
The face would make you wonder if the dildo was on purpose...
The only beautiful aspect of the statue was the crown on top of his head, it was a crown that looked like flower crowns with butterflies also and a few feathers. Despite being so primeval it gave out a lustrous glow.
The end rays of the sun slowly started to fade away from the statue as the rays of the moon started to fall on it, making it seem divine, almost heavenly.
The crown almost seemed like an Angel Halo!!
Rael's face twisted many times, at first it started with a frown, which frowned more, which frowned more frowned more, which frowned more frowned more, etc.
In short, he was gobsmacked in the face!
Literally the face...
"Son of a bitch..."
That was all he could say at the moment, nothing else came to his mind, you could even say that it was fully blank.
He was in utter disbelief.
It was a statue of himself!!
-and a very ugly one on top of that...
Slowly but yes, he gained some clarity although he was still unbelieving of the statue, he looked at the face of his statue and sighed a bit.
'Why my face?'
He looked at his statue and instantly took a few steps back, remembering how he died in the first place.
Rael's spine shivered a little. It was not hard to believe that he could have trauma against statues of his self and pure mythril.
'Why did my body pull me here though?'
Rael contemplated for a bit and finally came over to a realization, finally, he started laughing bitterly, how could he have missed this?
The place he is in is a temple, all the statues he saw earlier were of Gods, one of them was even his friend.
If he is in a temple then a statue should be of a God, which means that Rael, or the illusion of a God, Irakiel El Navah, had become a God in their eyes.
Rael laughed bitterly before releasing a sigh.
"What the fuck.... this is going over my head.... this is too much bullshit."
'Did they perhaps mistake my death as me ascending to Godhood?'
'Or maybe there are few who still worship me despite my death...'
Rael would never have been pulled over to the statue if it was not for him to claim the collected faith.
'I'll never know of the situation in the Celestial Realm this way, I really need to summon Puck as soon as possible.'
In his past life, Rael was never able to achieve divinity due to not having the right amount of followers but he had successfully collected the correct amount of souls to fulfill one of the two conditions.
However it seemed that all the souls had escaped when he died in his first life, so currently, he had none in possession.
He had collected some thousand souls in the parallel world but that was it, they too escaped when he died again.
But it seemed that in this life he had followers but not the right amount of souls, actually he had no souls at the moment.
The number of Souls he would need was at least a zillion to fulfill the condition, it is not easy to become a God.
Rael could be called a pseudo god because in this lifetime he had followers which he felt were diminishing at an astonishing rate through the faith energy surrounding him and the statue.
It wasn't a surprise to him as people would stop believing in him and their faith would diminish as he had done nothing noteworthy nor had he made an appearance yet.
What pained him the most was the fact that he had lost a zillion souls when he died.
Now, he would have to collect souls once again.
'Last time it took, millions of years, just how long will it take this time?'
Just as he was thinking this a transparent screen appeared right before his eyes.
[Would you like to accept your being as a Pseudo God? (Yes/Yes) ]
Rael stared at the screen blankly, there was no fucking option of rejecting the position.
Sighing he mentally said in his mind, 'Yes'.
Suddenly his eyes blanked out for a second as a flash bang suddenly exploded blinding him for a while.
When he regained his eyesight he could see a transparent dot in the corner of his eyes.
Rael was not surprised, he had this in his first life after collecting more than a zillion souls. Mentally, he clicked on the dot and a transparent sheet appeared in front of his eyes.
It was a status screen.
A status, it is like a stats data compilation that appears when someone gains divinity or chaos.
It is totally different than the system which he had read in novels, instead, it would only show stats of the body and it's techniques, and sometimes targets for the next evolution.
He sucked in a cold breath as he spoke mentally.
'Status.'
