The status screen gave an overview over Ezequiel's own stats. Right now he was in the lowest realm. The Demi-God realm. It had 9 minor stages from 1st to 9th. Once you reach the 9th stage you will be able to break through to the Lesser God Realm.
In that realm you will be able to condense your divinity/godhead. It will give you and your believers different buffs depending on your divinity. A divinity could be Earth, Plants, War or Greed. Basically everything.
In front of his species it shows the word contracted. The reason for that is that you can conquer other species aside from your starting one in the future. The downside though is, that they only grant 1/100th of the amount of faith points you would gain from a contracted species.
Faith points are the most important thing for each god. They are basically almighty, with no limit to their application. They can give buffs to your believers, condense items, help gods to break through and many other things.
Faith points are generated whenever a believer prays or participates in a ritual. The amount varies depending on their level of belief. Which is also the point that confused Ezequiel at the moment.
Normal species would only start out as shallow believers and you would need to gain their trust over time to increase their level of belief. How did his angels start at the max level?
Also, to generate the amount of faith points they did, they would have to pray all the time since he left them to their own devices. Shouldn't they have fulfilled the tasks he gave them? Especially with their level of faith they should do whatever he told them to.
Wanting to clear up his confusion and also check out the strength of his followers, Ezequiel once again descended into the lower dimension with his consciousness.
Once he arrived, he immediately searched for his two angels. He found them sitting on top of the mountain close to the summoning platform.
They were sitting cross-legged, absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating. With the help of the system Ezequiel and all other gods were able to check the status of each of their followers. So he did just that.
[Name: None]
[Species: Angel
Bloodline: Angel (Peak Saint)]
[Realm: Body Refinement - Bone Tempering
Potential: Tribulation Transcendence Realm]
[Profession: Alchemist (novice)
[Techniques: Primordial Angelic Cultivation Manual (Peak Primordial), Divine Fire Slash (Peak Mortal), Sacred Flight (Peak Mortal), Soothing Light (Peak Mortal)]
[Affinities: Healing (Mid Saint), Fire (Low Saint), Good (Mid Saint), Holy (Peak Saint), Speed (Peak Saint), Light (Peak Saint)]
[Special Abilities: Eternal Faith, Holy Wings, Voice of Conviction, May the Lord be with me]
Ezequiel was shocked again. Of course he already knew that Angels were a strong species but seeing is believing. Not only did they break through to the Bone Tempering Realm within just about half an hour, their potential was at the limit of the universe.
Even though Ezequiel didn't know what lay outside the universe, he did know about the realms inside of it. Those were from low to high: Body Refinement, Energy Refinement, Foundation Building, Sea Expansion, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Rule Seed, Rule Body, Ruler and Tribulation Transcendence.
Since even the potential of the lowest members of the angel race was at the top of the universe, he knew that he would rule over the entire universe in the future. If he didn't fall before then, that is.
The techniques they had were probably bloodline inheritances. Those were techniques that lay within the bloodline of a species and awaken as soon as they break through to a certain realm. The Angels before him would probably awaken even more such techniques in the future.
The thing that surprised him was that he didn't even know about the grade of the cultivation technique. He had no idea how high it was. But that was something good.
Angels also had many Affinities but he already knew about most of them from the encyclopedia. What really interested him were their special talents.
Those are abilities that originate from the bloodline of a being and are not graded. They do vary in strength but since most of them are useful in every stage of cultivation, they are not divided by grades. Still, most high level species would at most have one special ability. His angels had a whole FOUR OF THEM. Though he didn't know how strong they are yet. To find out he simply looked at their description.
[Eternal Faith]
[Angels are beings that exist to worship their God, always acting in his name and interest. They will never serve anyone else and their believe is firmer than anyone else's.]
[Effects:
- Level of Belief can not fall below fanatic
- Angels constantly gather Faith Points, no matter what they do, praying and rituals can further increase that amount
- Angels gather 10 times the amount of Faith Points compared to other species of the same level
- Angels will never succumb to brainwashing, increased resistance to mental techniques
- When someone tries to extract their bloodline, their bloodline origin will go up in flames]
[Holy Wings]
[The Angel race has been given their wings by their divine creator. They can be used to spread the faith anywhere and travel around in the name of the creator. They are their most priced possession]
[Effects:
- Ability to accelerate until infinite speed with each flap of their wing (Limitations: can only travel in a straight line and body needs to be able to withstand the speed)
- When unfurling their wings, their bodily strength increases by 100%
- Ability to adapt and survive to any environment (within the limits of their strength)]
[Voice of Conviction]
[The most important of their tasks is to spread the faith of their lord, which is why their words are extremely convincing]
[Effects:
- The words are able to influence and convince the mind of a being
- Strength increases when singing praises about their Lord]
[May the Lord be with me]
[When they have the support of their Lord, they will be more diligent and effective in their task]
[Effects:
- Blessings granted to Angels are twice as effective]
If Ezequiel wasn't in the form of a consciousness at the moment, his jaw would fall to the floor.
‚If anyone knew about these bloodline abilities they would explode from jealousy. No wonder people say that Angels are the perfect race for Gods.'
With the help of the first ability I can gather at least 20 times the amount of faith a normal god could. After all i have the 10 times multiplicator and most other species can't spend the entire they praying either.
According to the video, a normal fanatic follower can earn 1000 points of Faith a day. This means that each Angel can give me 10000 points a day. That's not even considering that a True Believer only grants 50 points a day. I won't even have any believer lower than Fanatics. This is so OP.
Faith Points were the most important thing in the Divine Realm since they were needed for everything. It seemed like Ezequiel had still underestimated the true capabilities of Angels.
Even their other abilities, though slightly weaker, were still extremely strong. Especially the wings that could basically grant infinite traveling speed and increased survivability.
With the understanding of his worshippers strength once again increased, Ezequiel had to adjust his plans slightly.
It seemed like he could speed up his domination of this planet.
