Chapter 42: Divine Energy In Statues

The girl raised his head and looked at him with shock and delight, "Matthias, you're awake?!"

"Hey, Babyface, get lost!" One of the thugs threatened.

"Tsk. Tsk. You're not even as powerful as an infant Demon inside the Mysterious Abyss and here you are, feeling like a king? Pathetic." He shook his head and walked towards them.

The thugs were pissed and one of them swung his baseball bat at him. Matthias looked at it and extended his right hand and easily caught the arm of the thug, which baffled him. Matthias counterattacked by kicking the abdomen of the thug while still holding his arm. The thug shouted while Matthias broke his arm and snatched the bat from him and slammed the thug's arm.

"How dare you!" The other thugs were enraged and charged at him all together. Matthias positioned himself and swung the bat, hitting the three faces at the same time. 

"You can't even make a formation to fight a powerful figure. Stupid." Matthias chuckled coldly and broke their arms one by one.

"Argh!"

"It hurts!"

"Ah!"

Matthias let go of the bat and walked to Sky, "Are you okay?" 

"Mhmm." Sky nodded. She stood up and left with him.

"I didn't know that you're already awake! Key didn't inform me." Sky said.

"I just woke up about six days ago. I was just released yesterday." Matthias replied. Sky nodded with understanding and walked with him peacefully.

"How're you and Key? Any development from the last two months?" Matthias asked.

"Not really. Key is too shy to go near me." Sky chuckled, "That dumbass, can't even realize that I like him back." 

"He might be brave now. Just wait for him." Matthias assured while Sky just smiled. 

They arrived at Sky's house and she bade farewell. Matthias waved his hand and left as well.

He looked at the time and it was still 11:00. He entered a smartphone store and looked for an optimal device for his liking, but didn't find any so he walked away. He then entered a taxi and went to Rizal Park.

After arriving there, he saw that it was packed with people. Kids were running around, couples were taking selfies, and families were walking hand in hand.

Matthias smiled sadly as he reminisced about the things of the past. Before he was disowned, he was always together with his parents, studying about businesses, ethics, and history. He sometimes walks with his parents here in Rizal Park and they had fun.

But when his father, the current patriarch, died, he became the heir apparent of the family. But one day, he was schemed by his uncles and aunts and was kicked out of the family. His mother lost authority over the family and stayed there just because she was the old wife of the former patriarch. She was said to have died shortly after due to stress. He visited his mother at that time but was kicked out after a day by his uncle.

He knew the things inside a powerful family so much so that he didn't hesitate to perfect the genes of his descendants in Betania to lessen infighting.

He shook his head to dismiss the thought and walked away. He suddenly saw the statue of the hero Jose Rizal and noticed something strange on it.

"Divine Energy?" Matthias muttered. "Some people worshipped things, therefore accumulating Divine Energy within that object. You could retrieve those energies as that thing has no church and owner." Nuwa suddenly resounded inside his mind, answering his doubt. Matthias nodded with understanding and walked towards the statue. He placed his hand on the rock below the statue and there, the Divine Energy within materialized and made way to his arms, straight to his forehead.

"How much FPs do I need to ascend once more?" He asked. "Right. I haven't explained to you yet, but, you cannot ascend to Universal God Rank with Faith Points or Creation Points anymore." She answered.

"Then how?" He panicked and asked immediately. "You need to accumulate Mystic Points. As your universe expands and strengthens, the Mystic Points that you'll receive will rise with it. Currently, your universe can generate 1000 Mystic Points per day. You need to accumulate 5,000,000 Mystic Points to ascend to Universal God Rank. The more Mystic Points you have, the higher your title among the ranks will be." She calmly explained to Matthias the things that he needed to know.

"That's a heck of a ton of Mystic Points needed. Then it will take me almost more than 12 years to ascend?" He calculated inside his mind and estimated the amount needed, which the result that he discovered baffled him.

"It's natural." Nuwa replied. "A Universal God holds authority over a wide galaxy. The galaxies need a capable ruler to preside over it. So the ruler needs time and experience to develop."

"Right. You also need a Pantheon already. You need powerful people who are loyal to you to fend off invaders." She reminded Matthias, which startled him.

"What invaders?!" He asked nervously, "Haven't I told you before, once your domain descends and align itself with the Galaxy, even if it isn't merged, other beings will be able to enter your domain. So best be prepared." Matthias nodded heavily and looked around. He hurried to a hidden corner and teleports his body to the Creation Platform.

When he arrived there, he started suffocating which scared him. Nuwa then hurried towards him and shielded him with her aura. "Reform your Mortal Body to Divine Body, quick!" She shouted.

Matthias instinctively circulated his Divine Energy in his body and purged the mortal body, which made him yell in pain. 

Shedding the mortal body, as depicted in other scriptures, needs the person to circulate his superior qi inside his body and onto his external body, to transform the mortal body into an Immortal one. But with Matthias' case, his Divine Body is much more superior and hard to complete.. Only Gods who has abundant supply of Divine Energy can complete the conversion between the two bodies.
