Chapter 105: Chapter 53: Founding the Extraordinary, The Arrival of the Gold Cloth! (Part 1)

"Reincarnation Space, are there any extraordinary power systems that allow for rapid progression and rely on the power of faith in a deity?"

[Available, Hunter. The power of faith can serve as a power core to drive nine major systems and 1,348 types of extraordinary powers! These can be further extended into 37,824 sub-classes...]

Countless pop-ups instantly materialized before Alex’s divine avatar. A dazzling array of various power systems flickered in his vision.

At this moment, Alex discovered another benefit of the divine avatar: his information processing speed was akin to a supercomputer. He absorbed and memorized such a vast variety of extraordinary systems in a single instant.

Soon, Alex selected several powers suitable for the I Am Legend world.

Oracles: Advancement path: Divine Speaker, Elemental Domain Lord...

Paladins: Advancement path: Covenant Knight, Sanctuary Guardian, Holy Knight...

Priests: Advancement path: Light Priest, Starry Sky Priest, High Priest of Destiny...

’Hmm, I can’t just have the forces of light and justice. I need chaos and dark powers too. After all, human nature has its shadows; it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to be pure of heart.’

Alex proceeded to exchange for even more extraordinary systems from the Reincarnation Space: Necromancers, Death Knights, Shadow Walkers, and more.

Because these power systems required faith in a deity to advance, they were almost never chosen by Reincarnators in the Reincarnation Space. Consequently, they were listed at bargain-bin prices.

After all, once you’re a Reincarnator, who doesn’t have the dream of becoming a self-sufficient god? Why tether yourself to another?

Low-level training methods were so cheap they could be obtained for a mere 100 Credit Points. Even the most powerful extraordinary tier didn’t exceed 10,000 points.

With Alex’s millions of Credit Points, exchanging for these power systems cost him next to nothing. He had more than enough; he couldn’t spend it all even if he tried.

In the process, Alex gradually understood the truth behind extraordinary power in a world.

Every extraordinary power requires a cornerstone.

The extraordinary cornerstone of the I Am Legend world was now his divine avatar. Everyone would obtain a seed of extraordinary power from him, and then, through training and combat, they would continuously nurture and expand it.

A thought stirred in Alex’s mind: ’If that’s the case, what is the extraordinary cornerstone of the Saint Seiya world?’

After designing the power systems, the remaining task was to transmit these powers to humanity—or rather, to his believers.

Alex’s gaze scanned the crowd and settled on the elderly man kneeling before him: Robert Wayne.

In Robert’s memories, Alex could see that over the years, it was this old man who had erected his statue, cleaned the plaza, and organized the believers to pray and chant every year on the "Day of Divine Descent."

It could be said that of the 5 points of Divinity he had just received, at least half were collected for him by Robert Wayne.

’In that case, I choose you to be my Archbishop!’

With a slight shift of his divine will, a wisp of golden light merged into Robert Wayne’s body.

"Believers of the God of Thunder and Frost, hear the divine decree!"

Robert Wayne suddenly levitated on his own. In the center of the plaza, golden light patterns flowed around him like living creatures.

His originally hunched back straightened perfectly, and his tattered robes whipped loudly under the surge of divine power. He looked down at the startled crowd, the golden light in his eyes appearing to contain an entire sea of stars. His voice no longer sounded human; it carried a majesty that pierced the soul.

"For generations, you have been trapped in the mundane, treating the gifts of thunder as mere myth and treading the path of the extraordinary into dust. But from this day forth, by the grace of our Lord, the mist shall scatter!"

Before his voice faded, he slowly raised his right hand, a rotating golden sphere of light appearing in his palm.

The moment the sphere rose into the sky, a warm, sacred energy washed over everyone like a tide. Frightened children stopped crying, and the eyes of the elderly filled with a sudden light.

"Do you see this mark?"

Robert’s voice suddenly rose in pitch, shaking the dust from the plaza into the air.

"It is the Light of Awakening, the ladder granted to mortals by the God! Pray to our Lord! Whether it be the intensity of fire, the softness of water, the weight of the earth, or the swiftness of the wind—all who are sincere may channel the extraordinary power of faith!"

The humans in the plaza hesitated; for a long time, no one dared to step forward.

Suddenly, a crippled beggar collapsed to the ground with a thud, praying fervently.

"O great God of Thunder and Frost, please grant me extraordinary power! I want revenge for my dead wife and daughter!"

"As long as I can have my revenge, I am willing to give everything! My flesh, my soul—take it all!"

Boom!

A golden mark ignited. A pillar of golden light descended from the sky, enveloping the beggar within.

The beggar’s left leg, which had been broken for many years, miraculously healed in an instant.
