Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Matthew’s breathing became fast, and he fixed his eyes on the black stone statue in disbelief.
A moment before, he was wondering why there were no Twelve Main Gods. And the next moment, he saw the stone statue of the main god unexpectedly.
That helmet was the main god’s artifact, Invisible Helmet!
The god was Hades and the three-headed dog was called Cerberus.
The underworld Hades ruled was the only destination for life after death.
He was the real god, the one who ranked first among the Twelve Main Gods!
In Matthew’s memory in this life, the gods that he had known so far were all middle-level gods.
No one knew that the true God was in front of them. It was so pathetic…
‘I must obtain the divine inheritance of Hades!’ Matthew thought.
“Relax, it’s just awakening your talent.” Behind him, Sierra saw Matthew’s trembling body and patted him on the back to comfort him.
“Sierra, do you trust me?” Matthew came to his senses and turned to look at her with a smile.
“What are you going to do?” Sierra looked confused.
The two had known each other since childhood and had a good relationship. So Sierra could tell from Matthew’s question that he was talking to her seriously at the moment.
“If you trust me, go to the black statue and call out the god’s name.” Matthew looked into her eyes and said seriously.
“But I don’t know its real name… ”
“Hey, are you crazy? You wanna…”
Sierra looked at Matthew in disbelief as if she was looking at a psychopath.
Matthew knew that whoever heard his words would think he was crazy. Only when he called out Hades’s real name could he convince others.
So he didn’t say anything more. He turned around and watched the other students awaken their talents.
On the high platform of the playground, the principal was making a roll call and asking the students to awake their talents.
The students whose name was called came out from the line and lined up at the statues.
“Be devout when you call out the name of the stone statue you choose. And maybe you will awaken some special talents or even the natural talents of the gods.” The principal looked at the young students lovingly and taught them the final skill.
“Don’t worry, principal. I’ve always been very devout to God of Death. Maybe I can awaken special talent this time.” The student at the head of the queue said confidently.
“Good. Keep your devoutness in front of God of Death. Go ahead.” The principal nodded and motioned him to go on.
The student came to the high platform with chin up and chest out. He went directly to the black stone statue of God of Death and made a salute specially for the God of Death. Then he showed a devout look. The faint red Power of Faith appeared above his head, flew to the black stone statue, then merged into the blood-red light around the statue.
Seeing this, the clergy under the statue nodded with satisfaction and said in a serious tone, “Disciple of the great God of Death, you may call his real name now .”
When the student heard that, a nervous look appeared on his face, and he replied with his arm trembling, “Yes, sir.”
“God of Death, you are the supreme god and the guardian of the Earth. You have been on the Earth since ancient times. And thanks to your protection, the world is prosperous. I’m your disciple Enke. Please bless me, and grant me the divine power so that I can protect the Earth with you from now on.”
“Supreme God of Death, Thanatos, please descent the glow and help your disciple awaken!”
As soon as Enke finished his words, the stone statue shivered slightly, and then some red halos flew out, fell on Enke’s head, and entered his body.
The students and teachers all stood up in surprise when they saw this.
The principal was even more excited. With a serious look, he said, “It’s Attachment of Death. Enke has awakened a special talent. ”
Generally speaking, when calling the god’s name and awakening talents, one could always only obtain a divine power with which he or she could start cultivating.
The special talent got its name because it was a special ability given by the statue.
A person who awakened a special talent could be better than a hundred ordinary cultivators in terms of power.
On the high platform, Enke’s body was glowing with red light.
“It’s a low-grade talent called Red Holy Light!”
Although Red Holy Light was the lowest talent, it was still a rare and sacred talent in the eyes of people without special talents.
And it was the supreme glory gifted by the God of Death, Thanatos.
“Well done, Enke!” Enke’s teacher couldn’t help shouting.
The teachers whose students awakened special talents would be rewarded.
“Enroll this student to Academy of Death and rank him as a promising student,” A spectator from Academy of Death said to his subordinates.
It was a rule that once the awakeners were blessed by a certain god, they would go to the school founded by that god.
On the high platform, the red light around Enke’s body dispersed, and a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and stepped down with his head up and chest out, enjoying the praises and cheers from the teachers and the students.
“Very good. Remember him. And when he graduates from the academy, bring him to our military camp.” Some people from different armies nearby also came to witness the ceremony and said to their subordinates.
The awakening ceremony continued.
The students came forward in turn and called out the true names of the gods to awaken their talents.
No matter how devout they were and how they called the gods’ names, no one obtained a special talent like Enke.
In the meantime, some students wanted to obtain the divine inheritance from the block statue, but they just stopped in front of it, took a few looks at it, and then walked away.
Everyone wanted to get the divine inheritance from Hades but they did not know his name.
If they failed to call out the real name of this god, and then turned to call the real names of God of Death and Goddess of Forest, it would seriously affect the chances of awakening their talents.
“Matthew, Sierra…”
Just then, the teacher in charge of roll call called out Matthew’s and Sierra’s names.
“Come on, Matthew. Don’t be nervous. Stay devout. As long as there is nothing wrong, you will awaken your cultivation talents when you call out the god’s name. It doesn’t matter even if you awaken the lowest talents. You don’t have to be an awakener in the future. ”
As the two of them got up to line up, Sierra was still comforting Matthew.
“Don’t worry. Trust me and follow me to the black statue, Sierra.” Matthew turned around and looked into Sierra’s eyes seriously.
“I’m just worried about you going to the black stone statue, so I’ve been persuading you…” Seeing that Matthew didn’t understand what she meant, Sierra helplessly touched her forehead, thinking that Matthew was beyond help….
