Overgeared

[Your deity stat has reached 10 points and something special will happen.]

How long did it take to get here? Grid was thrilled when the deity stat, which had been opened thanks to Isabel, finally reached the target. Great excitement and anticipation rushed inside him, shaking his heart.

‘Will I become a half-god?’

Grid already had a chance to become a half-god once. The quest ‘Crossroad of Good and Evil’ that occurred during the Vatican raid had given him a chance to become a half-god. Additionally, if he evolved into a half-god then there was room for a significant increase in all stats. Yet Grid refused to become a half-god.

At that time, Grid was qualified to become a half-god due to the First Holy Sword and 4th Evil Taren, not because of the status he built up himself. If Grid had chosen to be a half-god, he would’ve gained the Holy Sword of the 4th Evil and become hostile to all the gods on the West Continent.

Now it was different—Grid was deified by many beings and was qualified to become a god on his own. If this achievement made him a half-god then the gods of the West Continent had no justification to be hostile to Grid.

‘Please...! Please, a half-god!’

Hangyeol might be a consumable, unlike Garam, but it couldn’t be denied that he had the blood of a god. A yangban’s death was a major milestone in history and it wasn’t unusual to be part of an epic. Then why wasn’t an epic appearing? Additionally, what would happen to Dante in the future? The old knight had become hostile to the Hwan Kingdom just because Grid used his name and face for the skin mask.

Despite the many questions, Grid decided to focus on the events ahead. He waited eagerly, hoping to be qualified to become a half-god. The light that surrounded him grew stronger, as if responding to Grid’s expectations. It was a far cry from the light that occurred when Rebecca, goddess of light, gave him a blessing. It was a hot and intense light, unlike Rebecca’s unrelenting light. It was like a blazing flame. If the flames on Hexetia’s nipples became bigger then it might feel like this.

‘Wait?’

He was Pagma's Descendant. If he became a half-god then he should be a blacksmith half-god. If so, wouldn’t his relationship with Hexetia become uncomfortable? He was the only one among the gods who could be considered a friend. Grid would feel sadness and awkwardness if Hexetia considered him as a competitor and harbored animosity. The moment that Grid was feeling anxiety...

“This...”

Indeed, it was unfolding in this direction. New notification windows were appearing in the field of view of Grid, who couldn’t hide his regret.

[However, you don’t deserve to be the god of blacksmiths.]
