CH.40 First Son

It has been three months since the cult of the end started and it has been getting some attention, well not that much attention, it's mostly just rumored but we're slowly getting attention. This is both good and bad, good cause I can get more followers, bad because of more attention.

After healing little Samantha, the smiths became my believers with Samantha being one of my most devoted followers. This was expected as I did save her life and all, this was a good thing as she is very helpful with the new children.

Right now, we have about two hundred people under our belief, and I think it's time that we expand our services. this means I have to turn some of my followers into endlings and then have Christine send them somewhere that other goods aren't stationed.

"Brothers and sisters today are a joyous day for today our lord will decide on who will spread his words and be ranked as a bishop," Christine said making the crowd cheer.

I used the same ranks as the Christian church does, I of course am God and am at the top while just right under me would be Christine as the pope. Next would be the Cardinal bishop who we don't have yet, then would be the bishop, priest who we are training and who will become a bishop, and finally normal believers.

"Jack smith" I whispered into Christine's ear, jack smith would be the father of dear old Samantha and the husband of Martha Smith, after seeing his daughter cured of the ailment that no parent wanted on their children he started believing in me and preached my word as if it was all he knew.

Because he quickly rose to the ranks and became a priest who took his training like a fish in water, I knew he had it in him to be my new bishop.

"brothers jack you have been chosen," Christine said.

After hearing his name, jack smiled and hugged his family and came toward Christine, as soon as he came in front of Christine, he went on one knee.

Christine held out her hands in the air and out came a silver gothic chalice carrying a silver drink, this silver drink was poison, the poison looked silver because I wanted to give a mystic feel to this ceremony. After the chalice appeared it slowly went towards Christine's hand which she grabbed and knelled towards the jack.

"Do you promise to serve our lord truthfully to the end," Christine asked.

"Yes, until the end" jack replied.

"Do you promise to use these powers that our lord is about to give you only for good" Christine asked.

"yes, I do" jack replied.

"And finally do you promise to spread the word of our Lord," Christine asked.

"yes, until the very end" jack replied.

"Then drink become one with our Lord," Christine said and handed jack the chalice.

As soon as he was handed the chalice jack with no hesitation or fear drank the silver drink, after drinking it he held his hearth and fell to the ground. The hemlock poison is a stronger form and will kill one in but a few seconds.

As jack was dying, I decided to show myself." My child, come accept me" I said holding my hand towards jack with my dark and mysterious voice.

Jack seeing me holding my hand reached out and like the painting 'the creation of Adam' I grabbed his hand and infused him with my energy birthing, my second child and my first son.

As my divinity invaded his body, I felt myself have more control than I did with Christine, when I transformed Christine, I felt a restrain as if she wasn't supposed to be mine. I knew what that was, this was the afterlife already claiming her, she was originally supposed to go to the underworld as it is the afterlife she was going to. the only reason that I had no problem claiming her soul was that she wasn't dead, and the underworld reconsidered me as hades' son and just let me have her.

This wasn't the same with jack, I felt no resistance at all, I felt his soul belong to me and me alone and as I pumped my divinity inside of him, I felt him welcome me.

The transformation took no longer than a few seconds and for the whole-time jacks' eyes were closed, as soon as I was finished his eyes opened but this time, they were black as the night, proof that he was a child of mine.

"Congratulations my brother," Christine said and hugged jack.

"Thank you, my sister," Jack said getting up and started feeling his new power.

If I did this one month ago, he would have been as strong as Christine but unfortunately, after three months I have gotten stronger and as such, I made Christine stronger. Now she has at least twenty percent of my power, while jack has ten percent the same amount, I gave Christine when I changed her.

"Here you are my brother," Christine said and gave jack a necklace with an E on it.

This was what I used to identify the major ranks, starting from bishop one will get the E and the higher you get promoted you get N and D until you get END which only Christine has. Each necklace has a big part of my power and using the letters can let out a major attack that would kill even some of the strongest monsters unless they don't you to do a specific thing to kill them like the Neman lion.

Also if you bring all of the letters and say 'all things wither and die but you can only be free in the end" it will summon me. This privilege is only allowed to the pope as she is the only one with all three letters.

After fulfilling my duties, I went back home which was becoming easier and easier as my energy keeps getting bigger. After getting home I went to sleep, I don't know why but I felt really tired which was weird as it was the first time something like this happened.

I went to sleep and woke up the next day but as soon as I woke, I felt something wrong, well not wrong more like different.
