My Alter Ego Is Becoming a Giant

The divine power was different from other powers based on Mana, the energy of Mother Nature.

Warriors absorb mana and refine it into Aura, while warlocks contaminate it with unholy rituals to turn it into black magic.

A vampire’s blood magic is also made by transforming the mana and vitality contained in the blood into a vampire factor through the act of vampires.

However, the divine power is the power that is completely received from God.

Since their origins are different, once they receive divine power, they will never be able to deal with other magical powers again.

That is why the procedure for baptism is difficult, and complex conditions are necessary.

The process of creating a channel through which you can only swear to follow the god and receive divine power.

And what determines whether the passage will be a thin straw or a thick oil pipe…

‘Belief in God.’

Heinrich continued to pray, feeling the divine power flowing from his body.

This was the reason I chose the divine power as the path of Heinrich.

Until now, the “mind hub” had only been used to limit emotions and stimuli, but I realized that it could be used the other way around.

From then on, as a result of testing various things, I was able to commit myself to the denomination of God with confidence.

Through 「Mind Hub」 and 「Myunggyeong Index」, I emptied Heinrich’s thinking and made it into a blank state.

And only one emotion, ‘faith’, was injected into the ‘persona’ and amplified with the ‘mind hub’.

‘In other words, the present Heinrich is truly the embodiment of fanaticism.’

I stopped all other avatars and poured those resources into Heinrich.

Main body, Hans, Heinz II, and even a new avatar that was recently re-summoned.

Using the baptismal ceremony, it was not difficult to focus the direction of faith toward the Lord.

And by pouring out all his mental power, he solidified the channel with God.

《The unique skill grows and the potential blooms. The potential of the avatar is increased, and the mental power of each individual can be shared more efficiently.”

In the process, the “Avatar” skill grew, which was an unexpected income.

Thanks to this, I was able to focus on my work more easily.

“Oh my God, what kind of divine power in the first baptism.”

“Who is it? Are you a crusader candidate? I would believe it even if I practiced as a monk for several decades.”

“Uh… it’s only been a few months since I came in saying that I wanted to become a paladin…”

Priests around and those waiting to be baptized began to murmur.

The ambassador, who was in charge of his baptism, also showed a sign of embarrassment, but he did not stop and continued the ceremony.

‘Almost done.’

I drew the divine power with all my might and put it into my body.

If faith determines the thickness of the passage, it is the mental force that draws the divine power through it.

Neither one of them should be enough.

“The object fulfills the condition and the possibility blooms. Acquire the special skill “Sacred Baptism”.

‘Is this still the limit…’

Theoretically, the divine power had no limit because it was a power received from God.

It means that if you have enough mental power, you can draw and use it as much as you want.

However, even if it is a god who gives power, it is only a lowly mortal who uses it.

If you use too much power that is not in line with your abilities, you will fall ill, and in extreme cases, you may even die.

‘I have enough faith and mental power, but my body is not yet ready to accept this divine power.’

He tried all sorts of tricks, but he couldn’t help it with the power he had encountered for the first time.

In order to accept the stronger divine power, the body needed time to adapt to the new power.

Gradually, he regained his divine power and regained his consciousness.

Naturally, the channel of faith also decreased, but if you put your mind to it, you will be able to return it at any time.

‘Like a rubber band once stretched, it will be easier to use next time.’

“Did you say your name was Heinrich?”

When I got up from my seat with the help of the priests around me, the high priest who conducted the ceremony spoke to me.

“Yes that’s right.”

“Hmm, this is my first time doing something like this, so I’m embarrassed. Anyway, it’s great that you have a strong faith. You could be a good priest. Let’s keep moving forward.”

He smiled happily and patted his shoulder with thanks.

I wanted to be a paladin rather than a priest, but I don’t think it’s necessary to add it.

I nodded, thanked, and moved.

The ceremonies continued in the chapel, but sometimes I could feel a glance at me.

Ignoring the gaze, I sat down in the resting area on one side, closed my eyes, and started meditating.

All these tricks were possible because the god of Auterica was not a personal god.

Heinz II first learned about the Shinto denomination, and Heinrich came to the denomination and learned theology and realized it…

I was convinced through this baptismal ceremony.

‘He is not a being with personal emotions like the gods in Greek mythology. This is close to a huge concept or a system.’

Something that naturally exists in the world, like a kind of natural law.

That was the god of Autherica.

‘No, it seems that the will itself is there… That would not be the standard for judging by human standards.’

When Heinrich was connected with the Lord through baptism, he could feel the fragments of that transcendent being.

Perhaps it was because he had been baptized in an unusual way, it was a phenomenon that had not been heard in the previous education.

If I had to express something vaguely felt at that time with human emotions…

Yes, it was ‘interesting’.

‘I’m glad I didn’t think of it as blasphemous…’

It may be that God doesn’t intervene because it’s just a trivial matter, but now it doesn’t matter.

Because his attempt has already been successful.

***

A few days after the ceremony.

The new crusaders and apprentice priests, newly born after being baptized, were being educated in their own way.

On the basis of building faith through prayer and catechesis, the priests developed their mental power with a focus on mental discipline….

“Just one more!”

“Oops!”

“more! more more more!

“Okay!”

The sound of people dying echoed all over the training ground.

It was the sound of newcomers training themselves under the guidance of senior Crusaders.

“Whoa, suck! Whoa!”

‘I thought I was the type of person who worked out hard. That was nothing. These humans are really….’

I sneered to myself as I alternately moved the dumbbells in my hands.

Tickle, twirl—

In line with it, the chains connected to the dumbbells put pressure on the whole body.

In various places of the training ground, exercise equipment comparable to modern ones was installed.

The difference is… it has a bigger and more ghastly appearance, and it’s not as safe as an eye mucus?

They were only things designed to overuse the body more efficiently.

The more you use it, the more you use it, the less the muscle is torn, and the bone is gradually broken and the ligaments are ruptured.

‘There are degrees of overloading the body. What the hell is such a perverted idea…’

It was truly a training method that made you go beyond the limits of your body.

Of course, there was no problem with such overtraining.

“aah!”

A scream erupted from one side of the training ground.

A new crusader who convulsed while lying on the floor.

It seemed that something went wrong during training as he clenched one arm and poured out tears and snot.

Normally, he should have been transported to the treatment room right away, but the senior in front of him was only screaming.

“You are out of focus! When training, never stop praying! Now, use your divine power again!”

“Ouch! Lord—!”

With prayer, a soft light rose and embraced the person who had fallen.

A groan that slowly fades away.

After a while he staggered and stood up.

“It’s still a long way off! Continue to pray while training! Restore the body before it is completely destroyed! Repeat this and you will get a heavy blessing!”

“yep! sorry-!”

“Keep your lower body straight until your arms are completely healed! Of course you must not stop praying!”

“yep! I see!”

A sight that is simply ignorant.

But surprisingly, this is a long tradition passed down from the church for a long time, and it was an effective method of training.

Prayer assists in the operation of divine power.

For the Crusaders at the forefront of battle, it was nothing short of a lifeline.

Creating an extreme situation artificially and continuing to pray is also part of the training that allows you to use the divine power without panicking in practice.

‘In addition, repeated prayers in extreme conditions will strengthen faith through self-suggestion, which will also lead to strengthening of divine power.’

Divine power management training, physical training, increase in divine power by instilling faith, and strengthening of mental power through asceticism.

It was a damn efficient method.

And I was a person who got a lot of attention in the group of perverts.

“Ho-oh…. Indeed, it is worthy to say that he is the hope of this rider. You should be able to hit that weight already.”

“He’s also good at using divine power, and even considering that, the speed of his body’s recovery is no joke. It’s already more than just a paladin in terms of recovery.”

Senior Crusaders who gather around one side to look at me and criticize me.

From the beginning, I easily followed their guidance thanks to the training I had been doing so far, and thanks to the ‘muscle-free’ and ‘super recovery’.

There was also the status enhancement effect of the Karma Shop.

And when he became accustomed to the “sacred baptism” that changed the mana in his body into divine power and corrected him, he began to stand out even more.

“Afternoon training ends here! Organize the equipment and enter the shower room in order! After two hours, we will meet in the lecture room. dissolution!”

“”dissolution!””

Crusaders who arranged their equipment at the call of their seniors were able to wash their bodies in sequence and take a short break.

I moved to the shower room and cooled by pouring cold water over my body, which was heated up in a haze.

Chow—

After washing mechanically and pressing hard, the muscles that had been pushed to the limit twitched and showed off themselves.

‘I’m sure the effect is good.’

A few days after the baptism was over, it was a training method like a pervert, but the effect was clearly felt.

The overworked body and the divine power that spread to every corner of the body to recover it.

The more this was repeated, the more he felt his cells adapt to the divine power.

“Ughhhh…”

“Ugh…. I, I die.”

Painful noises from all over the shower room.

I wiped my body with a towel and smiled bitterly.

‘It’s definitely not overdone. I was able to get rid of the pain thanks to the “Mind Hub”. They must have overcome with their own will.’

That pain also helps to increase faith and mental power, but I wanted to decline it as much as I didn’t need it.

I just support their beliefs.

“As servants of the Lord, we are shepherds of His Lambs, leading them in the always bright path.”

A doctrinal lecture combined with mental training in a lecture room after training.

The Crusaders had to lead their weary bodies and fight against drowsiness.

Of course, the same goes for me, because to become a paladin, I had to combine not only martial arts but also martial arts.

So about two months.

While Heinrich was struggling to become a paladin, the Immortal King subjugation team was facing a great difficulty.

***

“Whoa, that’s frustrating. Where the hell did you disappear?”

Archbishop Latius, the head of the Immortal King subjugation squad, sighed and rubbed his forehead.

He has already operated a search party several times to follow ‘Hans’, but there is no trace of where he disappeared.

I couldn’t even raise my face since I couldn’t find a shadow for several months from the first encounter.

Meanwhile, the saint also did her best to locate the location, but except for a few brief moments, tracking was impossible.

Even in the place I figured out at that time, I had to return empty-handed because I couldn’t find any traces of him…

smart-

“Archbishop Latius, this is Tuskin.”

“Oh, Sir Tuskin. Come on in.”

With Latius’ permission, the door to the office opened and Paladin Tuskin entered and bowed.

Like the archbishop, his face was full of fatigue.

“Yeah, how did it go?”

“…it seems like it would be difficult. Damn vampires must have done it.”

“ha···.”

The political pressure from the Kingdom of Thalia was also getting stronger.

The subjugation force organized to capture the descendants of the Immortal King was not producing sluggish results, so that became an excuse and started to be pushed out of the cause.

“If you haven’t been able to find anything even after you’ve searched so far, doesn’t that mean you’ve already left the Kingdom of Thalia?”

Seeing Tuskin speaking cautiously, Latius sighed again and closed his eyes.

They did their best to find ‘Hans’.

Excessive enough to cause friction with the vampire clan as well as the ‘reverse oath’ hidden in the dark.

In the process, the oath of Yeokcheon was attacked from both the church and the clan and suffered great damage, cut off its tail and hid, but the conflict with the ‘Brokoslak Clan’ continued.

“At this point, it can be said that he hid somewhere else. I will disband the subjugation squad at the Temple of Talia and return to the main unit.”

“Then we will know and prepare.”

Tooskin bowed his head lightly and left the office.

Except for high-ranking positions, the Immortal King subjugation team was mostly supported by the Thalia Temple, so there was a lot of work to be done until disbanding.

When those dispatched from the headquarters return, they will be deployed throughout the kingdom and return to normal business.

And the moment the target’s actions are captured by the denomination’s surveillance network spread across the continent, the subjugation squad will be convened again in that area.

‘Come to think of it, there was one crusader who stood out.’

Tooskin, who was moving, suddenly remembered one person and frowned.

An aspiring paladin who has awakened from the baptismal ceremony to the priestly-level divine power.

After that, he showed a lot of prominence in training and was watching with interest.

‘It’s a waste to leave such a talented person on such a periphery…’

Incomparable to other new crusaders, superior physical abilities and resilience to the level of a paladin.

A talent for absorbing teachings quickly and a potential for steady growth.

Even if the divine power was set aside, it was a talent not to be missed.

I do not intend to demean the parish of Thalia, but the reality was that a warrior with that level of talent seemed to lack a lot of talent to blossom.

No matter how good you are, would you only support the support you receive directly from the headquarters?

‘Hmm…, did you say your name was Heinrich? If possible, I would like to take them and raise them myself. I’ll have to say something.’
