The path that the light laid out for us wasnât short.
It led us deeper into the city and it seemed like it was leading us quite a distance away from the temple.
With how far it seemed to lead us, I had no choice but to get on Lupusâ back and let her take me there. After all, it would have taken us forever if I were to walk all the way to our destination.
However, I really didnât expect anything from this.
"This is a path laid by the gods that have let me down, so what can I expect from this?"
That was the thought that was on my mind as I rode on Lupusâ back.
The gods had already shown that they didnât care and that despair made me think of the people of the Kite Kingdom. If the gods didnât even care about me, then what reason would they have to care about the people that I cared about.
After all, the Kite Kingdom was just one of the many kingdoms of the human race.
Even if it was now acknowledged as one of the five empires, it was still just a single empire. Not to mention that it was only the capital of the Kite Kingdom that was suffering.
For the gods, this should be considered a small sacrifice.
"My family is gone, so what is there left for me?" That was the state that I was currently in.
But it didnât take long for me to snap out of that state.
After a certain point, I started feeling something in the air that was very familiar. It was something that I hadnât been expecting to feel for a long time since it was so well hidden, but now it was right there in front of me.
When I felt this sensation, there was a part of me that couldnât help feeling excited.
After all, this was a part of the God of Creationâs power.
The last time that I felt this creation divine energy, it was when I had absorbed the second of the four inheritances that the God of Creation left behind.
It was also what had allowed me to overpower those two members of the Four Omens.
If I was able to absorb this third inheritance as well...
"But what does it matter if theyâre all dead already?" There was this thought that came from the back of my mind.
I couldnât deny this since I knew that War wouldnât have left the capital alone.
There was no doubt that they would have already wiped out everyone that was there just to claim the one that they wanted. Even if they didnât wipe them out, it wasnât as if Rose or the others would have handed her over that easily.
So there was no doubt that a clash would have happened between them.
"Revenge. All I can do now is take revenge." I said with a sigh in the end.
Even if I couldnât save them, I wouldnât be a real man if I didnât take revenge for the ones that I loved and cared about.
So it was necessary for me to obtain this power.
"Iâll go by myself now." I said to Lupus while also giving her the order to stop.
Lupus didnât argue with me on this matter.
I had already felt Lupus slowing down, so I knew that she had already sensed the creation divine energy coming from in front of us. As a godâs messenger, it was only natural that she would recognize traces of the God of Creation.
As a godâs messenger, it was only natural that she would also fear the God of Creation.
So I didnât blame her for acting this way.
Joan still looked like she wanted to come with me, but I said to her, "I need to do this alone."
So in the end, Joan just waited with Lupus as I headed forward.
With my creation divine energy, I was able to create something like wings out of weapons and that carried me towards the source of this creation divine energy.
In fact, we werenât even that far away as it only took a few minutes for me to reach it.
I could see it from a distance because it was in a space that was completely cleared of everything. It seemed like this was a space that had been created for this statue and this statue alone.
"So the people of this ancient civilization also worshiped the God of Creation, but why didnât they make any churches or temples at all for them?"
The way that this area had been cleared, it was almost as if this place was some kind of plaza that was created just for this statue of the God of Creation.
When I stepped into that plaza, I could hear the voice that I hadnât heard in a while.
"So youâre here."
I didnât say anything in response as I moved closer to the statue.
The closer that I came, the more that I could sense the creation divine energy.
The more that I sensed this, the more that I realized something.
"I was too naive before."
I thought that I had a good gauge of the power left behind by the God of Creation, but it turned out that I didnât know anything. This was back then when I didnât have the same abilities that I currently had.
After everything that I had learned while helping the elementals, I was able to tell that the power left behind by the God of Creation...
"This is on a completely different level. Itâs even greater than any other god that Iâve met before."
Well, this was to be expected since it was the God of Creation that had created this universe and all of the other gods.
But to experience it firsthand was a completely different experience.
Once I was in front of the statue, I looked at it while waiting to see what would happen.
