Chapter 58.2: New Genesis

Kashi turned and looked up at Drixali. With a sly grin, he announced, "What do you think about becoming a god?"

In response to Kashi's query, Drixali solemnly bowed his head and replied, "It would be my honor."

"Good," Kashi acknowledged with a satisfied nod. But then, after a brief pause, he looked at the centaur demon and sheepishly questioned, "How do I make you a god again?"

Drixali raised his head and silently stared at the daeben. Even though he did not say anything, Kashi could tell from the centaur's gaze that Drixali was currently judging him.

Luckily, Kashi's embarrassment did not last too long, his dignity saved by a new system prompt.

Kashi examined the prompt with marked interest. He assumed that the reason Sentry and Nature gods were the only ones available was because his world was currently still too small. Perhaps, as the world grew bigger and more stable, more god systems would be introduced.

Kashi shook his head, returning his thoughts to the matter at hand. He had a choice to make. Appoint Drixali as a god, and lose the ability to summon it to the real world for battle, or wait until he found another candidate. He decided to proceed with Drixali's god confirmation.

If the circumstances were different, Kashi would definitely have chosen to wait until after the upcoming battle to appoint Drixali. The centaur demon was a true powerhouse, who was constantly getting stronger with each passing day, making him a valuable war asset. Unfortunately, Kashi knew that Savi would not approve of the bank if he did not appoint Drixali as a god.

With his mind made up, Kashi selected the Sentry God option, after which he received a prompt requesting the candidate's name. Kashi paused for a moment and then looked at Drixali. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, master," The centaur demon affirmed with a nod, and then confessed, "I have not made this choice solely out of loyalty, but for myself as well. Every living being wishes to one day become a god. Immortal, infallible, and worshipped by many." Drixali gazed at the vast expanse of land below them as he continued, "This world may be small now; its inhabitants few and far between. But I truly believe that one day this world will grow to heights never before seen, with millions, no Billions of inhabitants. It is for that future, I wish to do this."

Kashi smiled and then said, "Alright. As you wish." With that, he tapped on the prompt and chose, "Drixali, I hereby appoint you as Sentry to my inner world..." He paused, trying to think up a name, and then finally settled on, "Orez."

BOOM!

An explosive pillar of light burst out of the heavens and struck Drixali, forcing Kashi to take several steps back. Countless light orbs rose from the centaurs in the plains and then rushed into the pillar, being swallowed at an extremely greedy pace.

Kashi did not know how, but he instinctively understood these to be seeds of faith that powered a god's strength. The more 'faith' power a god collected, the stronger he or she became. The daeben watched as Drixali was lifted high into the sky, the spectacle drawing the attention of every living being in Orez.
