As Abel was still stressing about a new Kingdom, all the dwarf elites were gathered in the golden royal palace of the Furnace Fort.

King Dunba looked around and spoke in a deep voice, “Everyone, the great Mountain God’s Relic, the Lightning Hammer, has just been recalled!”

“The great Mountain God has been resurrected!” Wizard Hutton gasped.

The other dwarves were also stunned. As the dwarves’ spiritual support, the Mountain God’s stories were woven all throughout the dwarves’ legends.

W

Most of those dwarves had grown up listening to those glorified stories.

The dwarves had tried their best to preserve their culture despite the Wizard Union’s rules, and the current king had also continued with this tradition.

It was why the dwarves had remained united, even standing apart from the Wizard Union.

As for why they had promoted the Mountain God instead of the God of Fire, it was the genius idea of King Dunba.

The God of Fire had still been alive not long ago, so the Wizard Union would think they were still being faithful like the elves if they promoted him. Considering how many wizard dwarves there were, this was not acceptable.

Furthermore, the God of Fire was nothing legendary. He did not sacrifice himself for the dwarves like the Mountain God had!

In fact, he was a selfish bastard who kept the blacksmiths to himself!

The dwarves were not important to the God of Fire. He only cared about those who brought him benefits. Therefore, the dwarves did not care about him in return.

However, King Dunba’s education plan was backfiring at this moment. It was normal for the dwarves to be happy considering the greatness of the Mountain God, but what would the Wizard Union do?

“Majesty Dunba, please order the dwarves to place their Faith in the Mountain God. His resurrection needs our help!” Wizard Banyan called out.

“Majesty, please!” Wizard Hutton also bowed.

More and more dwarves bowed, and Wizard Far could only exchange a helpless gaze with King Dunba.

“Everyone, if we really put Faith in the Mountain God, the Wizard Union will immediately start to make a move on us!” King Dunba said grimly.

Wizard Banyan took this very seriously and replied, “Majesty, do you think the Wizard Union is treating us well right now?”

The Wizard Union had basically sent five thousand worker dwarves to die, and more would continue to die if Abel hadn’t stood up for them. This pained the heart of every dwarf!

The dwarves gave their all to the Wizard Union, and they had all ended up as mere tools.

“Majesty, everyone, I have an idea!” Wizard Far knew King Dunba was in a tough spot, so he spoke up quickly. Since he was the only legendary dwarf, everyone immediately went silent.

“Fara, tell us about it!” King Dunba nodded.

“First, we cannot hide the fact that the Mountain God was resurrected, because it will only be a matter of time before he appears in the common world!” Wizard Fara pointed out to them. He knew King Dunba wanted to keep this a secret, so he warned him it was not possible.

“But at the same time, us dwarves are a part of the Wizard Union. No matter how little they care about us, they are too powerful for us to mess with, so ordering the dwarves to place their Faith is also not realistic. If the Wizard Union really decides to make a move on us, we will be in even greater trouble!” Wizard Far continued.

“Then what’s your plan?” Wizard Banyan was not satisfied as he spoke up in return.

“We will just tell everyone the Mountain God has been resurrected, and let them decide if they want to place their Faith or not. We will not convince them or discourage them!” Wizard Fara stated firmly.

“Good idea, then we will have an easier time explaining to the Wizard Union!” King Dunba nodded.

He really wanted to conceal what had happened, but looking at the way those dwarves reacted, proceeding might affect their trust in him.

King Dunba’s education plan had worked far too well, as even the dwarf elites were affected. At this moment King Dunba felt like he had dug himself a hole, so he had to agree with Wizard Fara.

All the other dwarves nodded, and Wizard Fara’s plan proceeded.

——

Meanwhile, Wizard Smith left the Howling Castle and returned to the Wizard Union headquarters.

As soon as he stepped inside, he heard about what happened to the Mountain Armour. Therefore, he had to discuss with other God Rank wizards.

“The Mountain God has been resurrected! There is no other way that Mountain Armour would be recalled!”Wizard Smith told them all grimly.

“The Mountain God? No way, he was locked up for so many years, and his soul was badly injured. Even with large amounts of Faith, he couldn’t recover for hundreds of years!” Wizard Hawthorn shook his head.

Wizard McPhee had a strange thought. “Didn’t Headmaster Abel bring his Divine Body away? Could Headmaster Abel be the one that resurrected him?”

“Considering how many holy crystals he stole from the Holy Kingdom, it shouldn’t be long until the Mountain God fully recovers!” Wizard Smith added.

“No matter what, the Mountain God has already recovered a decent amount of strength, else he wouldn’t be able to recall his Hammer!’ Wizard Mosley interjected.

“Tell the Investigation Department to get to work!” Wizard McPhee suggested.

“But they are still recovering, and getting information from the Battlecry Plateau is not easy!” Wizard Hawthorn pointed out carefully.

What had happened to the Investigation Department could definitely affect the Wizard Union’s ruling. That was especially true since the Analysis Spirit was responsible for most of their work, so now they could only do things manually, which was much slower!

“We don’t have a good plan right now, so let’s just wait for the Mountain God to make a move first. He is still not powerful enough to affect us!” Wizard Smith said helplessly.

The Wizard Union was very powerful, but finding a god in hiding was still very challenging, especially one protected by Abel and the dragons!

“Also pay more attention to the dwarves to see if the Mountain God returns!” Wizard Hawthorn agreed.

“The dwarves don’t have anyone powerful on their side. As soon as there is a problem, we will make a move!” Wizard Smith stated firmly.

Although the God Rank wizards did not come up with a unanimous conclusion, they all knew one thing: this was all Abel’s doing!

But they had just learned a huge lesson messing with Abel, so picking another fight wouldn’t be wise. That was especially true if the Mountain God was also on Abel’s side, he would have six God Rank powers on his side. If the four God Rank dragons also came for support, their power would match the Wizard Union!

In addition, God Rank dragons were normally more powerful than God Rank wizards in a one on one battle!

Still, the Wizard Union was not totally helpless. They doubled down on their messages to urge more God Rank wizards to return, especially their president.

———–

Abel took the God-Binding Chain off the Mountain God and put it into his Portal Bag. Afterwards, he turned his attention to the other three holy bodies.

He was not planning to resurrect them without knowing who they were. Since he would basically kill the god’s soul in the process, he at least wanted to know who they were!

Having reached this point, he took out the Spirit Connection Circle and activated it.

The Moon Goddess appeared and smiled at him. “Headmaster Abel!”

“Moon Goddess, do you have some information about the gods of the past?” Abel asked her without hesitation.

“Are you talking about the ones you snatched from the Wizard Union?” the Moon Goddess asked, still smiling.

She had already suspected that ever since Abel asked her about getting rid of the souls of gods. She had suppressed her curiosity back then, but it was way too obvious at this point.

The fact that the Wizard Union had the bodies of gods was no secret. Even the God Alliance knew about it.

“Yes, I took four Divine Bodies from the Wizard Union!” Abel replied honestly.

“That’s hard to believe! You not only stole a Divine Body from the Wizard Union headquarters, but four of them?” The Moon Goddess was in disbelief.

The Wizard Union was extremely powerful, and was the reason why she never had the will to leave her kingdom.

But since even the mighty Wizard Union had taken such a big loss, the fear in her heart subsided.

The fall of the Era of Gods had created an immense fear of wizards among all the living gods. This was the case even though no wizard above the legendary rank had emerged for thousands of years.

“I could only recognise one of these gods, can you help me with the other ones?” Abel asked her sincerely.

He was close to the Moon Goddess since the Moon Goddess had helped him during his weakest times. Also, his relationship with Lorraine and the elves was not something he would forget, either!.

“Yes, Headmaster Abel, but if you get the Divine Body of an elven god, please don’t destroy their soul and return the body to the elves!” the Moon Goddess requested as she transferred some images through the Spirit Connection Circle.

“Moon Goddess. I don’t have any elven gods!” Abel shook his head.

“Headmaster Abel, there are many more Divine Bodies under the Wizard Union’s headquarters, so I just hope you can return the elven gods’ Divine Bodies when you get one in the future!” the Moon Goddess bowed to him.
