Rocky prayed wholeheartedly to Gemini for a few minutes, until his hopes of getting a reply finally started to waver.
'Please help me Lord..... I beg of you....' Rocky thought, reaching his most desperate low, when suddenly the atmospheric pressure around him started to shift and he suddenly found himself dropping to his knees against his will.
*Thud*
While he was the first to drop to his knees, he wasn't the only one who did, as all the clergy within the church and Pope Cole, dropped to their knees too, with an indescribable force seemingly enveloping them all.
"What terrifying force is this? I can't move a single muscle on my body nor can I get back on my feet.... Is this an indication that the Lord is about to descend to Earth?" Pope Cole wondered, as being a tier 5 warrior himself, he had never experienced such a terrifying force ever before in his life.
"Arise—" An old and ancient voice said as suddenly all the pressure enveloping those present in the room vanished, allowing the believers of Gemini to get back to their feet.
"Lord Gemini?" Pope Cole said, his voice trembling with excitement as although he could not see the physical body of the Lord, he felt the immense power behind the voice that had commanded them to arise, a force that he presumed could only belong to one of the Gemini Gods.
"Only Shakuni, my child. Ravan has not made the trip downwards with me," Shakuni said, as the lips and eyelids of the Shakuni statue in the altar room moved as if it were alive.
"Lord Shakuni has inhabited the statue?" Pope Cole wondered, his eyes widening with surprise as a surge of emotions overwhelmed him, drowning him in a sea of feelings unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life before this moment.
For Cole, to say that he was a devout believer of Gemini was an understatement, as for him, the Gemini Gods were literally his one and only love, being even more important than his identity as a human.
In his entire life, Pope Cole had never thought that there would come a day when he would be in the actual presence of one of the Gemini Gods and hence this moment was extremely special for him.
I will bear 80% of the backlash for meddling in the affairs of mortals, however, you must propagate my name as much as possible in the coming weeks, since prayers from believers is the biggest source of divine essence for us True Gods, which is one of the key ingredients in making your sister's medicine" Shakuni said, as he manipulated Rocky into thinking that he was taking a big loss by deciding to help him.

"Propagate your name? How do I do that?" Rocky asked, as Shakuni did not reply, but only smiled evilly.
