Special Angels

As he entered the lower dimension, Ezequiel's consciousness took in the state of his territory as the first thing.

Aside from the two Angels that still sat on top of the mountain cultivating, there was no other living thing inside the whole territory.

Before summoning his next pair of Angels, he first checked on the ones he already had. Opening their status screen he was slightly surprised. Both of them had already entered the first stage of the Energy Refinement Realm.

Inside this realm, you had to gather and compress spiritual energy inside your dantian for a total of 9 stages. This meant that both of them had just entered the realm, but it was impressive nonetheless. An average human would take about two years to enter the Energy Gathering Realm.

Finally Ezequiel directed his consciousness towards the summoning platform again. Just like yesterday he was met with the same prompt.

[Would you like to summon additional troops? Each unit costs a total of 1000 faith points]

The only difference was that he could choose yes without being met by another notification this time.

After spending 2000 faith points, an astronomical sum for any other god to spend on the second day, the summoning platform lit up with a blinding light again.

But Ezequiel, with his high consciousness capacity, noticed that something was off about the light. There was an additional dark tinge in the light that was stunningly white yesterday.

As the light receded again, the reason for the change in light was made visible. The platform revealed two stunningly beautiful, female Angels. One of them looked very similar to the one summoned yesterday but the second Angel was very different.

Instead of white hair, wings and skin-tone, she was completely dark. In no way was she inferior in looks to the other three Angels, it was just that she gave off a completely different aura. Checking her status to confirm the reason for these changes, Ezequiel mainly found one.

There was a change in affinities which also resulted in her having other techniques that better fit hers.

[Affinities: Perception (Mid Saint), Ice (Low Saint), Good (Mid Saint), Holy (Peak Saint), Speed (Peak Saint), Darkness (Peak Saint)]

It seems like she was simply made for different tasks than the other Angels, meaning she had a different skill set.

Both of the Angels knelt on the floor after being summoned. It seems like they would always do this in the future.

„Rise my followers!" Ezequiel chose to spoke within the entire territory to gain the attention of the other two Angels. Though they were probably made aware through the blinding light already.

„Why do you differ from the rest of the Angels?" Ezequiel asked in the direction of the darker female Angel.

„Reporting to the Almighty Lord Creator! You created special Angels with different affinities to better suit tasks like information gathering, infiltration or others. I am mostly responsible for information gathering with the help of the law of Darkness. About one in ten Angels is special like myself."

‚Seems like these special Angels will be very useful. The encyclopedia was not wrong when saying that Angels are perfectly made for Gods. There is no weak point and they are well-rounded in managing the territory.'

With the new Angel of Darkness, he would be able to gain even more information about the surrounding territories, especially the goblin village they already discovered.

Reassessing his plan with the addition of this new Angel, Ezequiel finally formulated a clear path of developement in the coming days.

All the Angels would cultivate until tomorrow, when they will all have broken through to the Energy Refinement Realm. After that he will send the Angel of Darkness to gather further information about the village and the powers it has connections to.

If nothing goes wrong then the Angels he will summon tomorrow will also reach the Energy Gathering Realm by the day after. At that point he will attack the village and take it over. Except if the Angel of Shadows gains some informations of a mighty city or kingdom as its backer.

Telling the Angels about his plan, it was set into motion. Which basically meant that they all went to cultivate. But not before he condensed some more pills for beings in the Energy Gathering Realm.

Though he could also just condense the herbs, it would take time away from the Angel that was versed in alchemy. Since he didn't really need too many faith points at the moment, he simply spent extra to condense some pills.

Those actually cost him ten thousand faith points for a total of ten though, which was very expensive.

Looking at his faith points, Ezequiel realized that he had less than ten thousand points left. Or that's the number he should have seen.

Instead he had way over 10000. Normally his newly born Angels shouldn't have produced this much yet. But then he realized something.

He actually gained almost five times as many faith points a minute as he was supposed to. After some thinking, he finally realized the reason.

With each breakthrough to the next major realm, the amount of faith points a being could provide increased by a certain factor depending on the realm.

For the difference between the Body and Energy Refinement Realm, that was a whole five times increase. This basically meant that each of his Energy Refinement Angels would now passively earn him 50.000 faith points a day.

‚I'm fucking rich.'

He would be able to splurge on condensing pills for his believers and so he did. He spent all his faith points to condense another 10 pills. Though looking back at it this probably wasn't his smartest move. After all he could be attacked any moment and a single faith point might just make a difference.

But Ezequiel didn't care. He was lost in the euphoria of having such a capable contracted species. He could already see himself breaking through major realms like drinking water.

After his short, impulsive decision, he didn't really have anything to do on the lower realm. Ezequiel simply returned to the Gods Domain where he would once again spend the rest of his day playing with his sister.

He only checked on his territory again in the evening, only to realize that everything was still going smoothly and all Agels had broken through at least two minor realms. The new ones obviously broke through a lot more.

The most eventful thing that happened today was only the new, special type of Angel but aside from that nothing really happened.

Even in the territory of Marie everything was going smoothly. The scrying raccoon was a peak level species after all and with their affinity to faith and scheming minds they wouldn't really meet any troubles in the near future.

Ezequiel once again chose to sleep. Mainly out of habit and also since time would pass faster that way. He also wanted to abuse the luxury of his new house to the fullest. How would he do that if he didn't even sleep inside the luxurious bed?

Ezequiel only woke up from his sleep again when he felt something calling him from the lower dimension.
