It wasn't about the temples, though they were a source of embarrassnt for him but they were still manageable. The stature or idol in the temple on the other hand, was a very different case entirely.
It was uncanny, in the temple stood an almost fifteen(15) ter tall stature of him. It was so life-like that Kingsley could even seen the veins on his hands. This should normally be a feature he would be proud of but it was a stature of him.
No matter how well designed it was, Kingsley found it weird looking at a lifeless version of himself. The stature though seed to have been created after his current appearance.
He could see the improved looks and all, it was very similar even to the clothes he was wearing, he would say he had a standard set of clothes he wore into the throne room but he had yet to repeat even a single cloth courtesy of the maids.
This ant that the stature was a compete copy of himself as he stood now. this enhanced its uncanniness for Kingsley who imdiately made up his mind to destroy it.
The stature was even on a throne identical to the one he was on. The entire thing was too uncanny to be left alone, so using his dominion over his territory, He imdiately reached out to destroy it.

Destruction of the temple would limit your growth, reconsider your plan of action
...
A system ssage appeared almost as soon as the thought ca to him.
"Ah... That ans you can hear our thoughts then" Kingsley said as he withdrew his power for now

Building Na: Temple of Deus
Level: Max
Type: Utility
Description:
The Temple of Deus is a temple created for the purpose of collecting faith for the [First Ascender], a place of worship and blessings.
Abilities:
*Faith Collection: the temple is made for the simple purpose of collecting the faith of the worshipers
...
Looking at the description of the building, Kingsley beca speechless. Nothing here had explained the actual reason why he shouldn't destroy it.
Of course he understood that the faith was probably a way for him to grow further but the kingdom he built wasn't a theocracy, it was a monarchy and besides why should he collect people's faith to grow stronger.
He was way stronger than that and had no need for it in fact he felt that it would restrict him in so way or the other.
"If I am to be worshipped by anyone then let it be their choice nit sothing forced down their throat" Kingsley said before folding his fists as a loud crash could be heard.
Without any hesitation at all, Kingsley had destroyed the temple. It wasn't a building he needed, he wasn't a god of any king.
He didn't need the people's worship nor did he need their faith. He already had enough responsibility managing the kingdom, he didn't need the extra responsibility.
"As expected" Kingsley heard one of the Thrones say as he chuckled and went back to what he was initially doing.
His n were too crude in their attacks that most tis, they don't even give people the chance to surrender, his duty was to stop them and let the people do so.
Even if the lord who surrenders via such thods would not be loyal to the nation, it was better that they be alive than dead.
It may be a soft-hearted and dumb move but as they say, 'Karma is a b*t*h', he could kill them and soone out there would do the sa to his family mbers which would automatically make everything he had done so far.
"Co to think of it" Kingsley said rembering sothing important

Na: Kingsley Set
Rank: Ascended
Level: 1
Race: Human?
Health: 20
Divinity: 100
….
"Huh?" Kingsley asked surprised but highly confused at the sa ti.
His stats were in the thousands so why did they reduce. Last he checked, he had twenty thousand health points, now it was just twenty.
As for the Divinity Stat, he had no idea what it was but following ga logic, it looked to be an evolved combination of both Physique and Spirit.
"This is probably why the temple is needed" Kingsley said before shrugging.
He didn't need it then, this small change wouldn't make him need it now. He would try to understand more about it but he couldn't even feel any major difference.
He was simply too powerful for this ascension if it truly was an ascension, to matter to him. Focusing on saving the lords who would soon beco fallen lords, Kingsley forgot about the divinity and all that.
While Kingsley tried his best to forget about his newly ascended form and all that ca with it. On the frontlines, a whole new wave of madness began.
The enemies simply saw the demons who they already considered monstrous suddenly begin to transform. Each demon grew out their horns, demonic wings sprouted from their backs as their canines elongated.
Even to the most stupid, it was clear that they had all gone berserk. As for why they would do so on a village or nation they had already defeated, none could tell, it was a mystery.
At least to all who lived to tell the tale. The archangels and the other troops all moved with greater frenzy as they swept through village after village. Resistance was futile and would only result in death.
