’...really, is that it... I was expecting sort of a grand golden glow or something...’

Suddenly Rein was striken by a pain in his chest, he held his chest tight and groaned, Voss tried to help him but was repelled by an invisible force that surrounded Reinard.

Voss stood up to his feet with his eyes wide opened, "is he perhaps about to get back his original powers"

Rein staggered around while moaning, compared to a glamorous glow and the feeling of sweetness that Reinard expected, his upgrade to a greater deity was more pain striken, he fell on the floor and rolled to and fro like toddler.

Voss stood blank, ’is it really that painful or he is exaggerating right now.’

Voss was not entirely wrong with his thinking since Rein can sometimes be immature and excessive, unthoughtful well that was way before. Even though Rein wasn’t the perfect good man unlike the deity he seeks to thread his path, Rein was a better person, even though change is always sudden, old habits die hard.

Rein finally stopped rolling, ’I was so immersed in my groaning I seem to not realize the pain had gone...’

{𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧: 𝘿𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣(𝙐𝙍)𝙡𝙫.1 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙}

Rein folded his palm and opened it, he repeated that action over and over again.

’There’s not a particularly different feel to myself, right now I especially don’t feel different from when I was a lesser deity...’ he repeated the action again and threw a punch, he could literally feel his hand pierce the air and the air dispersed as a result of the impact.

"Okay...that’s different" Rein nodded as he could feel every bit of his muscle the moment he threw that punch.

Voss came closer to him. "Master Rein as much as I would love to celebrate your upgrade with you, I have to remind you about your human friend..."

"Thank you Voss, you have been a great aide" Reinard placed his hands on Voss’s shoulder to thank him.

{𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩}

{𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙚𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙘𝙩: 𝘼𝙪𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙}

Immediately Voss was pushed to his knee by an unknown force, Rein was surprised as he did not even touch Voss too hard. Voss tried to struggle but the force got stronger that the ground beneath them dissipated and he was forced to into the ground.

He struggled to talk, "Mash...ter I... I..."

’Ariel stop whatever is happening right now’

"Is that suppose to be a joke?!!" Reinard shouted out.

"Then what do I do?!!"

{𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙣𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩}

Rein suddenly felt a sense of lost, as the pressure pressed harder on Voss and he couldn’t help take it off, Rein realised yet again that even though Ariel was a system that was created due to the interference of the black dragon and another, he thought it had the answers to everything, he relied on Ariel way too much, he felt the same sense of lost he felt when the system god came for his life but this time maybe a little bit worse as no one was after his life, he was suppose to be a deity yet he had no control over an ounce of his power.

"What are you blacking out about?" A voice rang into his head from his hand.

"I knew you were a novice and an undeserving deity but what is this?...you are even worse than I imagine. First to yourself declare him a surbodinate"

"He’s my subordinate already... I don’t know who you..."

"I repeat. Declare him a subordinate, before and now matters no more. The authority of a deity that you knew nothing about begins to exist the moment you know about it, as a deity all that you are comes in play the moment you know about it, or else, you are just another strong human"

Rein sighed and for once looked within himself, without asking Ariel questions or without depending on Ariel’s voice, he declared to his conscience Voss as his servant which was a mistake on his path.

The pressure lessen and a white glow surrounded Voss as he looked up to Rein while he was on his knee, "NAME me?"

"Uh...why would I?"

"I am your servant, you should name me..." Voss looked at him with so much admiration in his eyes.

Rein realised the voice was coming from the sword, he raised the sword and asked, "what is going on?"

But the voice did not answer again.

{The voice of Huemac that resides in the black sword has entered a deep slumber}

"...Huemac.."

{You have erased the existence of the Ixalan vampire; Voss}

{You can now bestow upon him a new existence}

{You can also grant upon him a fraction of your domain}

"...that wasn’t my intent"

Rein was dumbfounded, he only declared Voss his servant because of the instantial frightening. He was very sorry because it felt like he just hijacked Voss from his master.

Rein sighed, "let’s just go with Voss"

{Unacceptable}

"Voss..."

{Unacceptable}

"Why?"

{No traces of old existence can be accepted by your authority as a deity}

"Is my authority suppose to be a different existence...why are you referring to its like it is"

Rein was with little to no information about himself and Ariel was not in a position to give him any answers, if Rein was going to progress as a deity and not just as a strong human, he had to priotize gaining information about Bahamot and deities in general, but no human or being had ever had too direct entanglement with deities for them to be knowledgeable about the powers they hold, the best they can do is tell of the great tales of how they tamed seas with just a finger flip, it was not what Rein needed and those information were never going to be useful to him.

Rein had no choice but to give Voss a new name.

"Ben"

A black mass wrapped Voss and in two minutes it began to melt off. Rein’s eyes opened widely as he saw the vampire formerly known as Voss.

Ben now had two black horns protruding from his forehead and he had scales on some part of his body, he seemed taller and he had wings on his back.

Ben bowed to Reinard, "thank you my lord for this new life"

{You have named a significant race}

{He worships you}

{+10 worship stat points}

{+2 might stat points}

Rein was awed.

{The former individual Voss an Ixalan vampire has evolved to Ben, a draconic vampire}

*************

Goldevia, Natasha and Dion sat in a dark cell, even they had no idea how long they have been there. Since Zearus was trying to keep alot of information and having underestimated Arnette’s smartness which made him lose surveillance on him. He couldn’t have them running and causing him extra troubles to deal with.

Outside Zearus mobilized the first leader’s army, it want a difficult thing to do since he was the first leader’s butler and second.im command. Moreover, the soldiers are owned by the castle itself, the army that is commanded by the union leader’s are owned by their fortresses. The military body of the central artic though in subjection to the union is a body that stands on its own.

A military office holder cannot become a union leader, that was how things were run in the central artic in order to prevent a sudden and individual usurp of power.

All Zearus needed was a reason to make them move and they would afterall what they all thought was that the first leader was gravely sick.

Zearus fed them with a false information that someone is stealing the identity of the first leader and trying to disturb the summit hence they were going to prevent it and protect the legacy of the first leader. To the soldiers it wasn’t solely about Ellifis, even though Ellifis was q very good leader to them. But as armies of the first union seat, they had to protect the name, they had to.protect the legacy but in a reality unknown to them, they were going to be meatshields for.the sake of power and greed.

Zearus felt he was justified and his opinion was Ellifis was afraid of death and was too lazy to bear the weight of the world. All the butlers all felt the same way, they felt they were doing the world the greatest good by protecting it from the demons, but unbeknownst to them, they were already becoming demons themselves, clinging unto immortality and power, failing to see that they can trust in the world for once and let the world fight for its peace instead of threading on the lives of people and feeling like they own the world. Perhaps deep down it was that fweling that they wanted to enjoy more. Zearus tightened his fist as he watched the soldiers March towards the gate, he was getting ready to strike theorems Ellifis shows up.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" He spoke without looking at the person approaching him.

Neza replied, "I am. Afterall I might get to cross swords with someone I so much despise. Instead, how are you so.sure things will go the way you want it to"

"I hate your tone. Even if you are an imperial prince none of that matters here"

"Yea.... I know right but you can’t treat me anyhow... since I know of what you are trying to hide desperately ...you can’t predict me, there might be a rumour surrounding somewhere within the soldiers. You can never tell. Touch me and then all your plans goes poof"

Zearus smiled, "I underestimated an imperial prince, I underestimated the harsh environment you grew up in. You had to grow with survival, schemes and power"

"I enjoy the compliment but I will not be treated like a tag along kid" Neza made himself clear and stood beside him watching the soldiers.

Zearus looked at him and smiled.
