Kent received the armor with a wide smile.
“Brave One, this armor will protect you from any blasts spells and burn those who dare to touch you. Its flames are tied to your soul, and they will grow stronger with your rage.”
Kent wore the armor with a thought as it is a spirit item, the metal warm to the touch, yet comforting like the embrace of a long-lost friend.
[All treasure with Spirit were connected to the person’s soul. Will be stored in soul space while not wearing and can command them with a thought.]
“Wield its power wisely, and let none stand against you,” the God of Fire blessed with a hand gesture.
Following him was the God of Water, who moved with a fluid grace, his robes flowing like a river. In his hand was a conch, carved from the purest crystal, its surface etched with ancient golden runes that glowed with a deep blue light.
“This Conch is naturally formed in the ‘Divine spirit heaven’ where good souls live,” the God of Water said, his voice calm and soothing like the sound of a gentle stream.
“When you blow this conch, it will unleash a wave of fear that will break the morale of your enemies and bring calm to your allies. Its sound carries the strength of the oceans, unyielding and relentless.” He placed the conch in Kent’s hands, the cool surface pulsating with the rhythm of the tides.
“May it guide you through turbulent waters and lead you to victory,” he added, offering Kent a serene smile.
All the onlookers were staring at Kent with wide open eyes. Seeing the treasures coming into Kent hands, many were envying the fortune of Kent. They all know that this will be written in the annals of blue planet history and everyone is recording this scene for future.
One by one, the other gods followed, each bringing forth treasures of unparalleled value. The God of Earth offered a pair of boots made from the hides of the Earth Dragon, granting Kent the ability to move through solid ground as if it were air.
The God of Wind gifted a ‘Ghost Shadow cloak’ that rendered him invisible at will, a whisper on the breeze.
The God of Light handed him a crystal staff that could summon the rays of the divine spirit which can heal any number of his allies even from death. But he warned that it will only work for one time and that too on war grounds.
Each gift was linked to Kent’s soul, enhancing his power in ways unimaginable.
Then came the beast spirit gods, their forms wild and imposing. The Beast Spirit God of the Nine-Tailed Fox approached first, a creature of incredible beauty with fur as white as snow and eyes that glowed with ancient wisdom.
“This baby fox is the embodiment of wisdom and grace. It will serve you faithfully, its nine tails each holding a different power of illusion and charm.” He released the baby fox into Kent’s hands.
The fox gracefully padded over to Kent, its tails swirling around him, brushing against his legs in a show of affection.
Next, the Beast Spirit God of Pegasus descended, a magnificent winged horse that seemed to be carved from the purest light. “The baby Pegasus will be your future steed, swift as the wind and untouchable by any earthly force. It will carry you across the forbidden realms, its wings guided by your will.”
The Pegasus nickered softly, its large, intelligent eyes meeting Kent’s with a bond that was instantly forged.
One by one, mythical beasts of legend were offered to Kent. The Griffin, fierce and proud, the Phoenix, reborn in flames, the Sacred Bat, guardian of the underworld, the Chimera, a beast of many forms.
Each one knelt before Kent, acknowledging him as their master, their spirits bound to his command.
Kent accepted each gift with a humble gesture, his head bowing slightly in gratitude. Despite the immense power being bestowed upon him, he remained grounded, his heart steady and his mind clear.
“I am honored by your gifts. I vow to use them with kindness.” Kent said, his voice firm yet respectful.
Finally, the Space God, who had been watching the proceedings with an uneasy smile, stepped forward. In his hands, he held a gleaming crescent head arrow, its arrowhead as thin as a paper and its shaft intricately carved with symbols of the cosmos.
“This is my inheritance Asthra, the Astra of the Cosmos,” the Space God declared, his voice carrying the weight of heaviness. “With this Asthra, you can cut through the very fabric of space and lower realms time. I hope it will be in good use.”
He handed the Astra to Kent, its weight both light and heavy in his hands, as if he were holding the very essence of the universe itself.
Kent accepted with a little nod, but his face didn’t show any smile or acknowledgement.
“Do not forget,” the Space God continued, “you are always welcome in my manor when you reach the Spirit Realm. There, you will find the answers to questions you have yet to ask.”
From head to toe, Kent’s body was now adorned with treasures of unimaginable power, each one linked to his soul, each one enhancing his abilities in ways that transcended mortal understanding. The steps of the Kent throne were filled with divine beasts.
The gods, sensing the end of the ceremony, began to speak one by one, offering their advice and extending invitations to their divine realms.
“Visit my domain when you are ready,” said the God of Earth. “There, you will learn the secrets of the flying mountains.”
“My palace in the realm of light will always have a place for you,” added the God of Light. “There, the sun never sets, and enlightenment is within reach.”
“Remember, Kent,” the God of Fire warned, “power is a double-edged sword. Use it wisely, and it will serve you well.”
With each god’s words, Kent knew that his journey was far from over, that the path ahead was filled with challenges that would test him to his very limits. But with the blessings of the gods and the treasures they had bestowed upon him, he felt ready—more than ready—to face whatever was waiting for him.
