Amidst the tens of thousands of fervent devotees, Thomas turned solemnly to face the temple. With a deep bow, he declared:
"Thank you, O great Deus Initium!"
He bowed once more in reverence, leading the way.
The other devotees immediately followed suit, bowing toward the temple, their expressions brimming with devout sincerity.
Even the Vassal Gods—James, Tommy, and the others—lowered their heads in reverence. Everything they had achieved, all their strength and glory, stemmed from the guidance and empowerment of Deus Initium.
Without Deus Initium, they would never have reached their current status.
At the same moment, beings like the Zerg Queen, the Nine-Headed Wolf Pup, and many more also bowed deeply, their gestures equally solemn and respectful.
Meanwhile, Enke and his companions stood at a distance, watching this act of collective reverence directed at the temple. The shock on their faces deepened as realization took root in their hearts.
