The Mountain God opened his eyes. They were sparkling with the purest innocence, just like a newborn child.
Abel smiled at him. He knew he had just earned himself another God Rank Summon, this time a God of Battle!
But there was one disadvantage. Although the Mountain God was five meters tall, he still looked like a dwarf, so anyone would be able to recognise him.
Moreover, his Divine Body was still extremely weak and it might not ever get back to full strength, especially since his original kingdom had already merged with Doffâs.
Divine kingdoms could not be separated after merging, and Abel was not planning to do so. After all, he had interacted with Doff for much longer.
Abel had another plan, but it just needed some time to prepare.
âMountain God, you can keep your name. Youâve been resurrected!â Abel smiled.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Mountain Godâs gaze was still a little blurry. He still needed some time to learn, but that should not take long.
Abel turned to the busy Doff and instructed him, âDoff, give the Mountain God access to your Kingdom. He will stay here to help you strengthen the holy texts. When you have time, teach him some basics!â
âYes, Master!â Doff lowered his voice.
The Mountain God quickly felt his body turning lighter. Since Doff gave him permission to stay, all the forces pressing onto him were lifted.
He instinctively flashed over to Doffâs side. Although he did not know how to reply to Abel, he knew what Abel wanted him to do by his command.
Doffâs main body was connected to the Mountain God, and the gods began to communicate through the Power of the Will.
Doff transferred some knowledge over. Since the Mountain Godâs soul was new, it knew almost nothing other than the three abilities in its godhead.
At that moment, Abel also thought of another problem. Did the Mountain God have Relics scattered about?
After all, he was fully naked after he was captured by the Wizard Union. If Abel wanted to cover him up, he would need to make some special clothes.
He didnât know if the Wizard Union had taken all of his Relics or they were passed around in the common world, but if they still recognised the Mountain God as their owner, he should be able to retrieve them.
Thinking of that, Abel connected with the Mountain Godâs soul again.
This time he directly took control. Since he was its master, the godhead did not resist at all. The godhead was the core of a god, but it was also where the most important records were stored.
Since a godhead was indestructible, it always acted as the final backup of a god. At the same time it was the seed for a soul to give a god a new life after their Divine Body was destroyed.
The record of a godhead was the most powerful way for a god to wield their Faith.
An example was the Mountain Godâs Fire Control ability. Those who placed Faith in him could borrow this ability of his. Since it was highly attractive to blacksmith dwarves, the Mountain God would benefit and gain followers in return.
Finally, the godhead had a record of some important memories, even though they were not as detailed as the Divine Body. The Mountain God would soon be able to recover those memories and his consciousness would grow alongside them.
Abel wanted to find some information about Relics, but the Mountain Godâs memories were much smaller than he expected.
It seemed the Mountain God just didnât care too much. Abel was surprised to see a whole record of holy texts.
At first Abel thought they might have disappeared with the soul, but it seemed like the Mountain God had made a backup in his godhead. It made sense since he was a God of Battle.
Abel withdrew that information, since the Mountain God in his current form could not understand anything that complicated. Abel could only transfer them to Doff and let him teach the reborn god.
Almost no other god would fully open themselves up to another god like this, but as Abelâs Summons, they had unreserved trust for each other.
Soon after, Abel found some information about Relics. The Mountain God had two Relics that corresponded with his two fighting abilities.
The Relic called the Lightning Hammer, which was made for his ability of the same name.
The Relic called the Mountain Armour had likewise been made for his strong Armour ability.
With those records, Abel began to Summon those Relics back through the Mountain Godâs soul.
Although the Mountain Godâs original soul was gone, his new soul was still cultivated by the same Divine Body, so there shouldnât be a problem. After all, it was just like an instinct.
Abel had made Relics before, although it was through Doffâs hands. He knew how to bring them back.
With the command, an invisible energy of the soul directly travelled through space and connected to those Relics.

In the giant display room of the Wizard Union headquartersâ¦
This was the place where the Wizard Union kept the weapons of the most powerful beings who had fallen at their hands.
Elite Wizard Kayan was the one on guard, someone who always took pride in his work. The things around represented the might of the Wizard Union on display.
When he was carefully cleaning the weapons as usual, noise suddenly emerged from the main hall.
It was a group of young wizards laughing and chatting. From time to time, the Wizard Union would organise some excursions for young wizards to educate them about the state of the world.
âSilence!â Wizard Kayan lowered his voice and the young wizards quieted down. He was very proud of his serious demeanor, and he was experienced when it came to dealing with youngsters.
âThese are the work of us wizards and clearly show where we came from. As time went on, powerful enemies fell at our hands one by one, which is what eventually allowed us to stand here. You should respect everything around you!â he lectured them.
âYes!â the young wizards bowed.
Just as Wizard Kayan was reaching the peak of his proud speech, a five-meter tall suit of armour suddenly sparkled in gold.
âWhat is that?â The young wizards were horrified and couldnât stop screaming, no matter how hard Wizard Kayan tried to calm them down.
Wizard Kayan turned quickly, but the armour was slowly melting away.
As a guardian, he knew very well what the armour was made out of. He quickly recalled the recent rumours which the Wizard Union had tried to conceal.
Four holy bodies had been stolen, and many wizards had seen who those gods were. One of them was the Mountain God, and that was the Mountain Godâs Mountain Armour!
âWe are in big trouble!â, he thought to himself, and immediately triggered his alert without caring about the young wizards.
The giant armour quickly disappeared without a trace. The magic Circles around were totally useless.
â
At the same time, a giant black Hammer under the royal dwarvesâ palace in the Furnace Fort also began to sparkle with gold.

The dwarves who saw it happen immediately ran over. King Dunba arrived in front of the pedestal where the Hammer had been placed. By that point only a faint silhouette was left.
âThe great Mountain God has been resurrected!â King Dunba intoned in shock. He didnât know how he should act, because he didnât know what the Mountain Godâs resurrection would mean to the dwarves.
The Mountain God was not the God of Fire, but he was once the most powerful guardian of the dwarves and was only captured by the Wizard Union while protecting the dwarves.
For countless years the Mountain Godâs followers had not been able to reach him, and they had always thought he was killed. Therefore, the Mountain God became a mere record of the dwarvesâ spirit, without any actual followers.
âGather the dwarf elites in the main temple!â King Dunba called out as he disappeared from the spot.
He didnât know it was Abelâs doing, but he knew he should still let the Relic return to its rightful owner!.
â
Soon, the two Relics disregarded time and space, reappearing on the Mountain Godâs body.
With the Mountain Armour fitting perfectly and the black Lightning Hammer on his back, strange holy words began to move around on their surfaces.
âAll this god needs now is a Kingdom!â Abel sighed.
Although the Mountain God should recover his physical power soon, his power would always be limited without a Divine Kingdom.
A godâs Kingdom was their most powerful weapon. It was a place where they had full control over Faith and followers, and any enemy would be suppressed within it.
Although sacrificing five hundred holy crystals was simple for Abel, forming a new Kingdom was still extremely hard with the Wizard Union ruling the world.
If Doff had not had the support of the dragons, he wouldnât have been able to complete the process.
The dynamics of the world had changed a lot after the Wizard Union having more than ten God Rank wizards got involved.
Most importantly, the Mountain God did not have any followers, and forming his Kingdom in the Battlecry Plateau would limit his chance to gain any new followers in the future.
All of a sudden, Abel had no idea what to do!
