Meanwhile, on the Battlecry Plateau far away…
Doff the War G.o.d was still interacting with the Mountain G.o.d as he grew his holy texts. After he received the order from Abel, he waved and a new Teleportation Circle appeared in the Golden Castle Temple.
Both Faith-driven Teleportation Circles were ignited simultaneously and Abel sent Doff the location through the soul chain.
No G.o.d had ever had the guts to build a Teleportation Circle in their Divine Kingdom, since that would expose its location, so this was the first time.
After all, a Divine Kingdom was their most powerful life-saver, and even the closest G.o.ds would not disclose their location to one another.
However, that was not true with Abel’s Summons!
Of course, Abel was also just experimenting, even though he was very confident. Although he had never seen a Teleportation Circle in a G.o.d’s Kingdom, it didn’t mean it was impossible.
Abel felt his heart settle. At least now travelling between Kingdoms would be much easier, especially since he might acquire more in the future!
“G.o.ddess of the Hunt, go back with me to learn something, then you can return here!”
Abel put the Firetooth back in his Portal Bag and vanished through the Teleportation Circle with the G.o.ddess of the Hunt.
As for the G.o.ddess of the Hunt’s Kingdom, she would need some holy skills to manage it. Still, with a hundred followers in her Kingdom, she was at a better place than the Mountain G.o.ds.
If the Mountain G.o.d made a move, he would need to drain his own holy power and let Abel to replenish it. But the G.o.ddess of the Hunt could recover by herself using her own Kingdom.
Most importantly, as her Kingdom grew, her future was also much brighter.

Abel reappeared in Doff’s Kingdom, very happy that it had actually worked.
He then ordered the G.o.ddess of the Hunt to follow Doff, just like the Mountain G.o.d was.
Seeing the G.o.ds starting to interact, Abel turned to the remaining Divine Bodies and picked a G.o.d called the Ice G.o.d.
According to the Moon G.o.ddess, he was a G.o.d with power over ice. He had lived in the coldest north of the central continent, where even wizards wouldn’t dare to live.
Abel brought out his five Summons and his angel body again to form the pentagon, with the Ice G.o.d in the center this time.
Golden light sparked again, and flashed towards the Ice G.o.d.
As soon as they made contact, the Ice G.o.d began to twitch crazily, his struggles even stronger than the Mountain G.o.d’s had been.
Abel hesitated. The G.o.ddess of the Hunt had not even made a move, and the Mountain G.o.d was the most powerful G.o.d of the dwarves, who had just lost his Kingdom, so it made sense that he had a bunch of souls preserved. But what about this Ice G.o.d?
According to the doc.u.ments, the Ice G.o.d’s territory was not inhabited by humans, so where did he get his Faith?
But no matter what, it was still bound by the G.o.d-Binding Chain and it had been drained by the Wizard Union for countless years. It had no chance of escaping.
The soul-destroying process was extremely slow, but Abel was not desperate. Waiting a bit to get a powerful G.o.d was definitely worth
it!
As the Ice G.o.d’s soul slowly faded, his twitching only increased. His body was basically spinning around energetically.
Still, he was helpless. Finally, a howl of agony emerged as his soul was fully destroyed.
Since had Abel learned his lesson from the Mountain G.o.d, he ordered his Summons to fully suppress the Ice G.o.d so he couldn’t unleash a final attack. After all, these were no ordinary powerful figures, so Abel wouldn’t let his guard down.
—
After everything settled down, Abel grabbed the captured G.o.dhead and retracted his Dimension Force. When it came to knowledge on G.o.dheads, Abel was definitely not lacking. After all, he had probably seen more G.o.dheads than any G.o.d!
Afterwards, it was the same soul recreation, soul control, soul potion strengthening, and G.o.dhead re-entering process. When the final seed of will in the G.o.dhead was swallowed, the Ice G.o.d was Abel’s newest Summon!
After going through this so many times, Abel was now numb to it. He was more curious about the Ice G.o.d’s abilities.
Suddenly, he stopped. From afar, a huge stream of Faith emerged, and immense Faith rushed into the holy body to repair its long years of damage.
The fact that the G.o.ddess of the Hunt still had followers after thousands of years was shocking enough, but this Ice G.o.d was the case as well?
The loyalty of those followers were far beyond what he had imagined, and this stream of Faith was probably here all along, considering how big it was. Abel only noticed it once he was connected to the Ice G.o.d’s soul.
The greatness of G.o.ds was hard to imagine in the Era of Wizards, but they were indeed powerful!
Abel noticed that the river of Faith was formed by five thousand smaller streams, which meant the Ice G.o.d had more than five thousand loyal followers.
He was very curious about what was keeping them so faithful.
But as soon as he began to examine it, his jaw dropped. His followers were not human; in fact, they were an intelligent life form called snow apes! Abel had never even heard of them!
Their bodies were fully white in color and they lived around a frozen lake. It was cold, but they loved the temperature.
The weirdest thing was that they were much smarter than normal apes, even though they were not as smart as humans.
Abel sensed the frozen energy within their cores, which meant they were all spiritual beasts.
Through the eyes of a snow ape, Abel saw that they were praying around a white Staff.
Abel immediately knew it was a Relic. Maybe it was the final card of the Ice G.o.d, placing so much hope on intelligent beings other than humans.
Afterwards, Abel proceeded to examine the Ice G.o.d’s G.o.dhead. The Ice G.o.d only had one ability: Ice Mastery!
However, this Ice Mastery was much more powerful than the Mountain G.o.d’s Fire Control. It could be used as attack or defence through the manipulation of ice elements!
At the same time, it could be used to attract Faith, since every one of his followers could get a different ice ability depending on the amount of their Faith.
Therefore, this single skill of Ice G.o.d was actually just as effective as G.o.ds with multiple skills. In fact, it even allowed him to be more focused on a single thing.
Most importantly, it also meant the Ice G.o.d was a G.o.d of Battle!
Abel then began to examine the memories in the G.o.dhead and found some more things about the Ice Staff and those snow apes.
The Ice G.o.d looked like a human, but he was actually an ice ape as well! He had eaten a heavenly treasure during the Era of G.o.ds and obtained extraordinary intelligence.
After countless ha.s.sles, he recreated his snow ape body when he became a G.o.d and obtained a human Divine Body.
This was similar to Doff, who had been a Beamon before he became a G.o.d.
Still, for some reason the Ice G.o.d did not trust humans, although his G.o.dhead did not record why. Therefore, he only had snow apes as followers, and he left his Ice Staff with them before his final battle.
Moreover, the Ice Staff was created from his own ability. It allowed the snow apes to unleash ice abilities even when he was not around.
Although it was not as powerful, it allowed the snow apes to thrive, building on top of their already cold-resistant bodies.
Everything the Ice G.o.d did was for the snow apes, and they had remained loyal to him in return. Even after thousands of years, no snow ape had ever grown to be as powerful as the Ice G.o.d, and the Ice G.o.d stories were bone-deep to them.
Even if Abel had not resurrected the Ice G.o.d, those snow apes would have been as faithful to the Ice G.o.d in their extremely isolated and frozen home to the day the Wizard Union fell.
After Abel knew what was happening to the Ice Staff, he decided not to retrieve it.
It was basically the ice apes’ Relic. Although they were smarter than normal spiritual beasts, Abel didn’t know if they would go mad if the Ice Staff suddenly vanished.
Since the followers of Abel’s Summons were his followers, he cared about what happened to them.
With a command, the Ice G.o.d granted the pious apes the true Ice Control ability through the river of Faith!
