The slaves arranged a big celebration for their freedom. Everyone laughed and danced, eating and drinking, but when Amadeus came down, they all stopped because they couldn't act so foolishly in front of the divine being they followed.
" Why did you stop? , i dont have a problem with a little fun" said Amadeus as he grabbed an apple to eat, " our god is very kind " " Yes, he has a big heart" said the slaves, and then they returned to celebrating but kept looking at Amadeus with confused eyes.
Avice came running and said "Why did you come down like this" Amadeus replied confused " arent you the one that told me to come down? " Avice then pointed at his clothes and said, "Why did you come down still wearing your slave clothes ".
Amadeus looked at her and the rest of the slaves and understood why they had been looking at him with confused eyes, they were now wearing proper clothes that seemed like they belonged to the guards.
" didn't Arne come to you with your clothes, oh of course he forgot, follow me let's get you clothes that match you," said Avice, Amadeus followed her to Commander Geoffrey's room there she pulled out one of his clothes that they resized to fit him " come on try them," said Avice.
Amadeus wore clothes that looked like what nobles would wear for sword training but without the extravagant design " They look great on you " said Avice like a mother buying clothes for her son "Thanks Avice, this is much better than walking around with a piece of cloth around my body " said Amadeus.
"let's go back everyone is waiting for you," said Avice, and a window appeared.

time passed and Amadeus was still lost in thought not caring about the celebration around him when the voice of the Crown took his attention "Are you going to give a speech to your followers" Amadeus replied in confidence "What are you talking about? i am not going to give a speech ".
"Maybe you will change your mind after looking at this," said the Crown, and a window appeared.

Arne-Common follower = devotion level 80%
Bertram-rare follower = devotion level 80%
Roger ( the old man )-unranked = devotion level 0.00001%
/Do you want to see more followers (yes) (no)
" the old man, why does his information seem wrong," said Amadeus "About that, I don't know the reason but maybe his too weak for the system to rank after all his the only old man in your followers, "said the Crown.
" then i shall keep a close eye on him until we find the reason," said Amadeus while looking at the old man who smiled when he noticed Amadeus was looking at him." any way that's not the reason i showed you this, your overall devotion level is 40%," said the Crown.
" Isn't 40% good enough for now," said Amadeus "It's good but if you want to become stronger faster you have to work to raise it, 40% means you will get only 40% of the devotion amount you received when the salves accepted you as their god " said the Crown.
" Since we are at this point you did not explain how devotion works," said Amadeus "Wait i didn't tell you, and you're just telling me, anyway let me explain," said the Crown.
from what Amadeus understood from the Crown's explanation, devotion is the primordial mana that forms the soul of all living creatures, and the only way to extract it is through faith and belief, when a soul becomes a follower its primordial mana will be transferred to the god becoming his fuel.
primordial mana aka devotion can be harvested once the soul accepts the god then it will be harvested every month on the same day and only two factors affect the amount of devotion that can be harvested.
the first is the rarity of the follower, the higher the follower's rarity the more devotion he can give for example Avice delivered 10 levels of devotion because she is a legendary follower, and the second is the devotion level that affects the amount you will get from that follower after the first harvest, the higher it is the more devotion will be harvested.
" so to increase the devotion level i have to make them love me more," said Amadeus "Exactly, so a speech will be just what you need," said the Crown " i guess i have no other choice," said Amadeus.
Amadeus jumped to the first floor with everyone looking and silent filling the place he said with a voice full of warmth "Throughout your lives, you have suffered countless misfortunes starting by losing your family then your home, and finally your freedom but from now on misfortune will be something from the past and i promise you that as long as you follow me i will make sure that you will not suffer " said Amadeus.
everyone started charring for Amadeus "We will always follow you our god Amadeus " "Long live god Amadeus ", a window appeared.

" is that all, " said Amadeus "Humans dont trust easily but they doubt easily," said the Crown, Amadeus was going back but he heard something that stopped him "Our god is best " " Of course ".
"Don't call me god from now on just say my name," said Amadeus with a disgusted voice from being called the thing he hates the most "No we can't, because it's our way of showing respect to you," said Avice and everyone supported her.
" then call me master and i won't take a no for an answer," said Amadeus with a menacing voice "ok, i guess we have no other choice," said Avice suddenly a window appeared that got a smile on Amadeus's face then he said, " i will take my leave now, you can enjoy the rest of the night,".
" did i make him angry " said Avice with tears in her eyes, back to Amadeus who was sitting at the top floor looking at the window that appeared.

" you didn't tell me i could get skills from my followers," said Amadeus "Sorry, but on the bright side you get very lucky, these skills seem very strong," said the Crown " Since we are on the topic of questions i want to know more about the origin of gods," said Amadeus.
" Forgive me, but that story isn't mine to tell and when the time comes you will know everything," said the Crown " But can't you tell me anything about them " said Amadeus " Actually there is a thing but i dont think it's that important," said the Crown.
Amadeus kept looking at the Crown waiting to hear what he had to say " ok i will tell you even though i think it's a waste of time ".
the Crown explained how the Gods aren't actually Gods, as he explained the God naming was given to them by their followers and it spread from there but in reality, they are a race just like any other race.
the only difference is that they are the first race to come into existence, they have a strong connection to the source of creation, and they are the only ones that can use primordial mana while having the power to control an aspect of reality.
the original name that they threw away because the name of God seemed to fill their ego more is the Divine, they were the divine race.
Amadeus exploded with laughter after finally finding the answer he was looking for "Are you alright if i knew this would make you happy i would have said it sooner" Amadeus looked at the Crown and said "Tell me Crown if people started to call Ants Dragons would the Ant become as strong as a Dragon " said Amadeus.
" of course not, and i understand what you are trying to say but isn't the same God or Divine," said the Crown "No it isn't, God is a being that is all mighty and invincible but these so-called Gods claimed only the name while not having the power to match it " said Amadeus.
Amadeus raised, looked at the night sky, and said with a smirk on his face.
"It seems i have been giving them more credit than they deserve which made me overthink but now it is all clear in my head, as long as they are not invincible then i will destroy them, and i will erase the Divine race from existence ".
