[God of Free Wind godhead: With this godhead, you become the God of Free Wind, holding divine positions over "wind" and "freedom." You are the first-generation God of Free Wind.]
A green-colored, gem-like polyhedron with a thousand faces appeared in Barbatos' storage space, and he immediately recognized it as the God of Free Wind godhead.
When the God of Wind godhead was taken from his body for the sacrifice, Barbatos felt weakened.
A god without a godhead was merely a divine mortal—a mortal endowed with divinity. Without the godhead, a god couldn't control the element or aspect within their assigned divine position.
For instance, divine mortals like hierophants, blessed with divine blessings, possessed divinity and could use a weakened version of a godhead, known as divine arts.
Through their connection to their lord god, hierophants could use divine arts despite not being gods themselves.
As long as a hierophant was neither weak nor insignificant, and the god they worshipped was high-ranking, they were typically the strongest at their power level.
For example, a red dragon hierophant with fire divine arts from the God of Fire would have an advantage over other red dragons who were not hierophants.
Additionally, being a hierophant meant they served as instruments of their god, granting them a high status, second only to the god they served. This was why Eldric held a prominent position among the Wolf Beastmen Race.
With his God of Wind godhead sacrificed, Barbatos weakly glanced at the God of Free Wind godhead in his storage space, muttering, "Damn, I can't use this while I'm in combat."
"I look so damn weak and pale that others would mistake me for the God of Wanking who wanked too much."
Although Barbatos joked and looked as if he was drained of his vitality, the smile on his face betrayed his excitement at seeing the gem-like polyhedron with a thousand faces in his space storage.
According to its description, once he integrated the God of Free Wind godhead, he would become the first-generation God of Free Wind. His divine status would be comparable to Restara, who was also a first-generation god.
"No, I can't just compare to Restara. I must surpass her. She is the most talented person I know, and only a few could rival her in the entire Endless Void."
"As long as I surpass her, I'd be able to reach an existence above Main God."
Although the Main God was the highest publicly known power level, Barbatos knew from reading novels and watching anime that the Main God was indeed powerful, but likely not the strongest.
If the power level of this world was absurd enough, Barbatos estimated that maybe Main God was just the starting point.
"Anyway, the issues of those Main Gods aren't my concern as a mere One-Turn Demigod."
"For now, I'll focus on becoming stronger. To do that, I need to regain my divine status."
Barbatos took a deep breath, feeling the lingering weakness from sacrificing his God of Wind godhead. He closed his eyes momentarily, recovering from the momentary weakness, before opening them with renewed determination.
With a flick of his wrist, he summoned the God of Free Wind godhead from his space storage.
A shimmering, green-colored, gem-like polyhedron with a thousand faces materialized before him, casting a radiant glow that illuminated his villa.
The light danced across the room, filling it with an ethereal aura that seemed to pulse with the very essence of wind and freedom.
Barbatos reached out, his hand trembling slightly—not from fear, but from the immense power emanating from the godhead.
As his fingers made contact with the cool, smooth surface of the polyhedron, he felt a surge of energy flow through him, momentarily overwhelming his senses.
Holding the godhead firmly, Barbatos brought it close to his chest. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the integration process.
With a swift motion, he pressed the polyhedron against his chest. It began to merge with his body.
A brilliant flash of light erupted, and Barbatos felt a searing heat as the godhead fused with his soul. The pain was intense, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, knowing this was a crucial step in his ascension.
'Fuck it all! Pain is temporary, but grinding is eternal!'
'Since I was given a chance to be transmigrated into a world with a high power level limit, I'll keep on grinding until I become OP as fuck!'
The light enveloped him completely, lifting him off the ground as his body hovered in mid-air.
Inside his mind, Barbatos could feel the godhead integrating with his very essence. Waves of power coursed through him, transforming his body and making it stronger than before. He felt the wind's freedom and strength intertwine with his soul, reshaping his divinity.
As the fusion completed, the light gradually dimmed, and Barbatos gently floated back to the ground.
He landed softly, feeling a newfound strength and vitality. The weakness from before had vanished, replaced by an exhilarating sense of power and liberation.
Barbatos opened his eyes, which now glowed with an inner light. He took a deep breath, feeling the wind respond to his command, swirling gently around him.
A smile spread across his face as he realized the full extent of his transformation.
"I am the God of Free Wind, Barbatos Augustus Mondstar," he whispered to himself, feeling the truth of those words resonate within him.
His divine status had not only been restored but elevated. He was now a first-generation god, his power and potential unmatched by any ordinary deity.
After getting used to his newfound power, Barbatos checked his status using the god interface.
