18 Temple

I was now out of the enforcer department finally, it had been quite hectic being around those annoying idiots.

I am not narcissistic although I do admit that I am quite handsome.

Alright, alright, I will stop lying, I am narcissistic but I don't really think that I am as self-obsessed and dumb as these idiots who I have met today.

They think that the world revolved around them, that is something very wrong, that is just plain arrogance.

And one thing that I know from my countless experiences is that Arrogance is only for weaklings.

Confidence is the key to everything, be confident instead of arrogant.

One should never be overconfident nor should one be too timid.

Everything should be in balance, I don't let my narcissism blind my thoughts and am always calm, that is how a ruler and how everyone should be.

This is how smart people behave.

If I let arrogance, narcissism, and ego blind my judgment then I would not be elegant.

I believe myself to be very graceful, and one can only achieve true grace through perfect balance.

As I was walking, right across the street was an exquisite dome, it was made out of which seemed like pure white marbles and thoroughly cleansed by mana which gave it a natural lustre

A temple?

I frowned and realized that this was the temple my sister was talking about before.

Although I was never one to ever believe in Gods due to almost achieving god-hood and because I was already as strong as medium ranked Gods at my peak strength,

I still wanted to check out the temple as I was quite curious about how the temple would be and also somehow felt the temple calling me towards it.

Once a person achieved God-hood and ascended into the world of Gods they would also gain divinity.

There were many types of divinity, divinity was what defined a God as a god.

However it wasn't as easy to achieve God-Hood and become a God, one had to have a certain amount of souls in possession and a mass of followers who solely devoted themselves and prayed to the respective God.

That is how one would active God-hood, of course, one of the mandatory conditions was that the person to ascend should also be at the peak of the peak celestial.

This made it quite hard to achieve God-Hood and receive divinity.

I had countless souls in possessions but not many devotees hence I wasn't able to achieve God-Hood.

It was also one of the reasons why I was creating so many statues and portraits of mine in my fairy realm, it was not just narcissism but also had a deeper meaning.

I am not dumb, everything I do is for a reason, that is how I am, a true noble.

True nobles are clever, manipulative, greedy and even kind but that is only to the people in their fiefdom.

I am a direct son of the universe, a son of the Absolute Imperial Godly Law.

I didn't have parents in my first life and instead, I was given birth to by the universe.

As I walked inside the dome shaped temple I couldn't help but admire it.

It had golden embroideries upon it making a beautiful pattern, it seemed that it was showing a story.

A child was born from a King and Queen, the child was prophecized to be a harbinger of bad luck. Thus the king wanted to eliminate the child.

Ultimately the king couldn't bear to kill him and instead made the 72 Demon Kings eat his child's body parts.

The child grew up without any sensation of touch nor any body parts, due to the kindness of his so-called mother and father they threw him into a river hoping that God would do mercy on him and put the innocent child out of his misery.

However God had another plan in store for him, he raised the child to be his descendant and groomed him to be the future God.

The kid quickly grew up to become a fine man, a man with a demeanor of top-notch elegance and calmness.

Although he had no sense of hearing, seeing, tasting, or even feeling or any organs and was only alive due to his master's grace, he decided to fulfill his wishes and take his place.

Not just for his master but also for his personal revenge.

In the midst of his journey he met a young king just like him full of ambitions, the two of them got along very well.

The young king didn't care that his friend was deformed and even became sworn brothers with him later on.

The man then went on to dominate all the 72 demon kings and even got all his organs back to him.

When he saw himself in the mirror for the first time he started crying, he then looked at his young friend and hugged him.

Without his help, he could never reach to where he was.

He then set his sight onto the kingdom of his parents, he even saw that they had forgotten about him and also got a child.

It was a girl, after the birth of him it seemed that the couple weren't able to give birth to a male heir despite their repetitive attempts and could only disguise their only child as a boy.

When the man saw his sister he fell in love with her at first sight and seduced her, it was the same for her, she also fell for him at first sight and started to seduce him and even revealed her true identity as a girl to the entire kingdom.

Then they happily married, story over.

Lol no, not yet have some patience.

After marriage, she learned who he was and started crying because of all the injustice and personally destroyed the entire empire.

Then later on the man received his master's divinity and became a God, the same was for his wife who received the divinity of her husband's master's wife who was a Goddess.

Another way to become gods without receiving the faith of devotees was to directly get the divinity of a God who was blood-related to them, basically ancestors.

Many Gods, who were tired of living groomed disciples to pass on their God-Hood.

The Man in the story was the God-Emperor, Fakir Hamraz Ismillah, the Demon God, the god of demons, darkness, and light.

The wife in the story was, Namraz Kara Ismillah, the goddess of loyalty, retribution, and hope.

And the young king in the story was a son of the son of the omniverse, holder of the Absolute Imperial Godly Constitution, the King of Fairies.

Irakiel El Navah.

Yes, that's my true name.

The El Navahs are all sons of the Omniverse.

I smiled bitterly as I looked at the paintings, a pang of nostalgia hit me instantly.

Fakir was one of my best friends in my first life, I really felt like meeting him, he was quite a good guy.

I even respected him a lot, never did he once touch any other woman other than his wife, he was a yandere for her and she was for him.

Although the paintings had the story a little wrong and exaggerated at least I knew the truth as his sworn brother.

From the inside, the place looked quite similar to the churches in my past life as a human.

Rows of tables and benches were in perfect alignment and many sat upon it. Everyone in the church was currently singing a prayer.

My eyes looked straight and saw monuments of two figures, an elf Goddess and a Demon God.

I immediately recognized the demon, he was no doubt but Fakir.

I felt a bit of relief, it seemed that he didn't die of.

I really don't know what era it is in the celestial plains, but seeing the statue I am most likely guessing that I am in the future and not accidentally in the past.

I really need to have contact with the celestial realm and I have just the guy for the job.

My my adopted son, my little brother, my best friend, my servant, he is all of it.

It seemed that I would have to start preparing for a summoning ritual.

Puck is his name.

Slowly a melodious sound of a harp filled the air making everyone get brainwashed just by the tune of it.

Hearing the prayer, even my heart got a little soft. Music was one thing that I enjoyed no matter how good or bad it was.

All music is equal, or at least that is what I feel.

My fingers involuntarily started to play in the tempo of the music, as I subconsciously started using spiritual energy.

That is when I heard a sharp cough, I tilted my head to look at it and noticed the head priest looking at me with a flustered expression.

"Would you like to play the harp?"
