Future Developement

Two weeks. That's how much time Ezequiel had left until he would have to face the armies of the kingdom.

One week until merchants would visit this village and another until the disappearance of the merchants will be investigated.

This meant that he had about two weeks of time left in which the first of his Angels had to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.

That would be pretty easy though. After all the ones with the most advanced cultivation are already in the 5th level of Energy Refinement.

If they continued with this speed then they would probably reach the Sea Expansion Realm by the time the goblins would find out about them, but sadly cultivation speed slowed down the further he progressed.

But Ezequiel was still sure that all the Angels he has already summoned will reach Foundation Establishment.

The only things left to do was to increase their fighting strength as fast as possible. The best way for that was to use the auxiliary professions of the Angels he had just summoned.

In the lower dimension there were 5 auxiliary professions. Those were Alchemist, Array Master, Blacksmith, Engraver and Beasttamer.

Alchemists concoct pills, blacksmiths create equipment, Engravers, well, Array Masters and Engravers use runes to manipulate spiritual energy for their own uses.

Though their work sounds similar, it is actually very different. Whilst Array Masters focus more on large scale formations that defend whole cities or large attacking formations, Engravers engrave runes onto weapons or create Talismans. They also create lifestyle products like communication slips.

Lastly Beasttamers do what their name says. They tame beasts. Usually they also use them to fight and are more of a combat profession, but there are also some that purely focus on making a beast loyal to a certain organization and don't actually use them themselves.

Like all other things they are also divided by ranks. Those are novice, apprentice, entry, master, grandmaster, king, monarch, emperor, saint and transcendent.

Since Ezequiel now has an Angel and a blacksmith following him, he could task them to create weapons with various functions for the other Angels.

He also set up some other rules. Every newly summoned Angel would first start cultivating until they reached the Energy Refinement Realm.

Any Angel with a special profession would then continue cultivating until they reached the Foundation Establishment realm. This was to ensure that they could create the highest quality of work before the big fight.

Angels that are summoned in 4 days or later are excluded from that rule since they don't really have any hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment realm anyway.

Instead every normal Angel will patrol the border of the territory for 8 hours a day before continuing to cultivate.

If they needed to eat or sleep they could freely do it outside their patrol time.

As the number of Angels increased, some of them would be sent into the forest to further explore it and increase the territory area in that direction.

Towards the West of the village is the forest, whilst the East is territory owned by the goblin kingdom.

The Darkness Angel would have the special role of scouting the kingdom's territory to learn more of its structure and where the power centers were located.

This way they would be better prepared to conquer the rest of the planet later on.

Ezequiel was content with his plan. This way he would be able to maximize his fighting strength within the shortest amount of time whilst still assuring that they would not be surprised by the enemy.

The only thing that annoyed him was that he didn't really have a guess of how many Sea Expansion realm experts the kingdom held and how many allies they had.

Each of his Angels would probably be able to fight a single sea expansion realm expert one on one but if they had more than 20 he would probably struggle a lot.

Luckily they were only in a low world. Most of the time experts that were at the power limit of a world were very rare.

Some weaker low worlds might not even produce a single Sea Expansion realm expert.

But according to the energy density of this world, it was relatively strong within low worlds.

After informing the Angels of their future path of development, none of them had any objections. They would never have any.

In their opinion their creator was Omniscient and therefore his plan would always be the best.

He envied Marie on this aspect since her worshippers were better in planing themselves.

It's not like Angels are dumb or anything. It's just that the thought their creator could make a mistake in his planning never even crossed their mind.

This was the danger of fanaticism. Though he knew that they would always be loyal, sometimes a follower who can think for himself and question certain decisions is more helpful than a sheep that blindly believes anything it is told.

As Ezequiel was done with giving orders, he once again retreated to the upper dimension.

Though this time he set himself the goal to check up on his believers every hour, in case there are some sudden developments.

Back inside the Divine Realm Ezequiel opened his eyes. He is sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Ezequiel always chooses this position to cultivate or descend with his consciousness. There is really no particular reason for that. He could even be in a handstand and direct his mind to the lower dimension, but he just thought it looked cool.

On earth he was always really inflexible and wasn't able to sit in that position, but with his elevation to Demi-God all his bodily functions improved.

Ezequiel was more flexible, had better posture and didn't need to go to the toilet anymore. The dream of every gamer and people with weird fetishes for self-pleasure.

He could even eat as much as he wanted without gaining any weight and he didn't even have to brush his teeth anymore. They were always perfectly clean and shining white now.

As Ezequiel thought about his new strength he sighed. In the past he was always malnourished, had bad teeth and posture.

He worked all day but still didn't have enough money to buy anything. Meanwhile there were billionaires who almost drowned in money. Humans are really too selfish.

At this moment Ezequiel vowed to give every single one of his followers a liveable life, no matter how weak or strong they were.

As long as they were willing to work they would be able to eat without having to worry about tomorrow all the time.

Though he could just say that the world is unfair and he had to go through the same in the past, Ezequiel wasn't a selfish dick.

With his followers having the strength to rule over universes, it wouldn't be a problem to feed some mortals.

It's like a billionaire not paying his employees a liveable wage. And it's not like it wouldn't give him any advantages. After all he would gain more Faith Points this way.

Slowly Ezequiel started to form his own goals and aspirations, outside of protecting his sister, without even realizing it.

Finishing his sentimental flashback, Ezequiel finally stood up and made himself some lunch. He hadn't eaten anything all day and was dying from hunger.

If he had the ability to feel hunger that is.
