No, sorry. You misunderstand. Apotheosis (in the sense that I'm using it
here) is A Bad Thing.

The returning hero has done his Great Deed and returned to the Mundane
World and started to spread his New Word among the Faithful....

And then the pressure that builds up from all those people treating him
as a God forces him from the Mundane World forever and he can do no more
Great Deeds and must look on as an Immortal only to be called back to
the world by his Priests and Initiates and then only for a little while.

Apotheosis means becoming an NPC Deity.
