Confidence

In this way 7 days passed.

Ezequiel would wake up in the morning and summon the 5 Angels.

Afterwards he would ask his more experienced Angels if they needed any materials or anything else.

If they did, then he would spend faith points for them and create the item. It was not like he lacked faith points at the moment.

With more and more Angels entering the Energy Refinement realm, he already earned over a million faith points every single day. He didn't even know how to spend them.

Afterwards Ezequiel would check the memories of the border-patrol Angels and look for any goblin activity they might have missed. Though that wasn't really possible.

Having nothing left to do inside his territory, he retreated to the Divine Realm where he spends most of his time just enjoying life.

Sometimes he also uses his time to find out more information about the Divine Realm in general, and he sure is glad he did.

According to what Ezequiel found in the internet, killing someone inside the upper dimension is actually forbidden.

But there are actually methods around this. There exist some items that can be condensed with faith energy that allow you to fight an opponent.

This fight will happen inside a special dimension in the upper realm, where both gods will summon all of their believers and have them fight.

This fight will last until one of the two sides is completely exterminated.

Though the winner can theoretically still survive, he has no way to increase his strength in the future and is basically stuck in that realm for eternity.

Ezequiel also found some rumors that defeated gods will have to fight on some kind of battlefield but it seems like he is once again too weak to find out all the information.

The only limit to this item that makes it somewhat safe for any god to walk outside is that you can only be challenged by gods in the same realm as you.

Otherwise any Major god could just challenge a Demi-God and crush them with their higher level of troops.

Another interesting thing that Ezequiel found out whilst reading the article is that a god can actually live on when all of their followers die. He honestly thought that you would just cease to exist in a way but this is better for him.

Most Gods inside the divine realm are actually gods who lost their believers. About 8 out of ten people die before they even conquer their starting planet.

Most of the time it's because they were discovered too early. Low level species that are summoned by a god don't really have a huge advantage against the natives in the beginning after all.

All of this information confirmed that Ezequiel's decision of not going to the market before he is strong enough was the right call.

In the worst case scenario he was challenged by someone and then he could only lose either way.

Even if Ezequiel would win the fight, the one who challenged him would probably not keep quiet about his believers being Angels. At that point Ezequiel's life would basically be over.

Luckily they had everything they need in the villa. Food magically appeared in the fridge and Ezequiel's Angels could provide Item structures on their own.

This meant that they had no reason to go to the market. They would just stay in the safety of their home. Which Ezequiel also found out was safe as long as he didn't try to increase the area that belonged to him.

It was the morning of the seventh day when Ezequiel once again descended into his territory. The only thing that was different from the usual scenery were some goblin bodies lying on the ground. All of them dead.

Ezequiel wasn't surprised though. This was already planned by them as soon as they knew that the merchants would arrive today. There was no way arround it.

From now on they would be on a tight schedule since they had at most 7 days before the kingdom attacked.

In three days there would be the first people coming to examine the situation with the missing merchants.

When these people also went missing, like Ezequiel had already planned, the kingdom would send a small army two days later and a big one about 3 days later, depending on how fast they could assemble it.

At this moment something about the goblins corpses seemed to be off. They were rotting and emitted a foul stench, almost as if they've been dead for several days already.

The reason for that reveals itself a few steps away from the corpses. There stood two Angels, one male and one female.

They looked just like the Angel of Darkness but the aura they gave off was more sinister.

Those were Angels of Death. Just like the Darkness Angel both of them were special Angels, but instead of intelligence gathering they focused on killing. Simply, plain killing.

Normal Angels were somewhat of an alrounder. They were pretty decent fighters, had high speed and strength, could heal and were proficient in auxiliary professions.

Those two Angels on the other hand were made for killing. Nothing else.

Ezequiel summoned them 5 days ago at the same time. At that point he thought he was lucky but he didn't know that out of the 20 Angels he would summon in the next days not a single one of them would be a special Angel.

Right now Ezequiel was happy nonetheless. There was reason to celebrate after all. The first two Angels he had summoned finally entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

According to this speed a normal Angel takes about 10 days to enter the third major realm of cultivation.

Out of the 41 Angels below him, 26 will have reached the Foundation Establishment realm in 7 days. Some of them will probably even enter the second stage.

„How great is your fighting strength at the moment?" Ezequiel asked the two Angels.

As they heard the voice of their creator in their mind the two of them got on one knee.

„Reporting to the Almighty Lord Creator. If we're fighting against normal goblins, then I'm confident to kill a goblin in the peak stage of the Sea Expansion Realm. I might even be able to win against one in the Core Formation Realm."

Ezequiel was taken aback. How did their fighting strength increase by so much? Obviously this was good for him. This meant that in 7 days he would have 26 believers that had the peak fighting strength of this world. Nothing could stand in his way.

If he didn't keep a clear head right now then he would probably invade the goblin kingdom right at this moment.

‚How is their fighting strength so high though?'
