Chapter 142 -142-The Unfathomable Lake
The six spellbeasts, which appeared tiny and insignificant at first glance, were now trembling as they gazed upward at Owen, who descended from the skies. The pressure radiating from his body was like mercury falling onto stone—dense, oppressive, and unstoppable. The weight crushed down on the spellbeasts’ bodies, making their bones crackle like roasting beans.
These were spellbeasts born and raised by nature, and by their very essence, they carried an innate reverence for divine beings. And now, as they looked up at Owen, a single realization welled up in their minds at the same time—
The one before us is undoubtedly a god.
"You can sense the divine aura of this god," Owen said calmly as his gaze swept across them. "Then, are you willing to serve beneath me?"
These spellbeasts were a rare kind—creatures that had evolved from various medicinal herbs over countless years. To them, a god who wielded divine order was like a blazing sun in the void—inescapably radiant. It was only natural that they could sense him so clearly.
Thus, Owen wasn’t surprised by their reaction. On the contrary, he found himself increasingly intrigued.
This particular forest wasn’t far from Annasi Town. Given the recent purging of spellbeasts and aberrations led by Thomas and the others, these spellbeasts had surely sensed the change. They likely already knew about Owen’s actions.
And so long as they were not man-eating spellbeasts, Owen was more than willing to offer them protection.
The six spellbeasts exchanged glances the moment they heard his words. In each other’s eyes, they saw the same flash of joy and disbelief.
They had sensed the presence of a divine entity some time ago and had long yearned to draw closer. But their hesitation came from fear—that a god might see them as unworthy. They never dared approach on their own.
But now, this god—Deus Initium—was extending his hand to them first!
