Unnamed

Ezequiel was very happy with the performance of his believers. He had watched the entire battle through his connection with the Angel of Death and saw how well all of them cooperated.

He really wanted to give them a reward but didn't really know what to be honest. Most gods would usually grant some pills or materials in this case but he did that anyways. Though he would reduce it in the future, after all they had the ressources of an entire world now, he only needed to maybe procure some rare ressources but nothing common like spirit grass.

At this moment the battle had ended and the Angels started to return to the village center. After the battle they would all pray together to thank their god for his blessings. In this case it was actually justified since the blessing he bestowed them was indeed pretty great if he was allowed to say so himself.

At this moment, whilst looking at the status of his Angels Ezequiel noticed something. ‚How come they don't have a name? Even the goblins do. I always thought they would give one to themselves after being summoned but it seems that is not the case.'

Ezequiel immediately asked the Angels the reason. Obviously after first congratulating them for their victory. He didn't want to be seen as self-centered by his subjects.

„How come none of you have a name?" He was just very blunt and direct. How did they even address each other until now?

The Angel seemed to be somewhat surprised by the question but answered nonetheless. „Upon birth we are not worthy of a name. Only when we have achieved something major for our Lord will we have the opportunity to be named by the Creator. No one else is deserving of naming our divine bodies created by the Almighty Lord."

‚Why are they always so extra? I'm a fricking orphan how am I supposed to create the strongest species in the entire universe.' It would be much easier if all of them were given a name at birth. How was Ezequiel supposed to address them otherwise.

‚But wait, didn't they just something extraordinary by fighting this war? I guess that means I can give them names now.'

„As my first Saint and strongest warrior I will now grant you the name of Karok for your contributions in the fight against the goblins and protection of my territory." Ezequiel chose this name because he thought it was fitting for the Angels position and it also sounded pretty cool. In the future Thanatos would be like the God of Death for his enemies, slaughtering them and filling their hearts with fear. He also planned to upgrade his bloodline. Even if it was very expensive.

The Angel was moved to tears. Being granted a name by their Lord was considered one of the highest honors an Angel could experience in their lifetime. He went down on both knees and seemed to fall into a fanatic state of prayer that really creeped Ezequiel out. But at the same time something seemed to glow inside the head of the Angel.

‚Huh, what's that?' Noticing the light that seemed to emit from his brain, Ezequiel decided to check his status screen to make sure nothing was wrong.

[Name: Thanatos]

[Species: Angel

Bloodline: Death Angel (Peak Saint)]

[Realm: Sea Expansion - Early

Potential: Tribulation Transcendence Realm]

[Profession: None]

[Techniques: Primordial Angelic Cultivation Manual (Peak Primordial), Divine Death Slash (Peak Spirit), Sacred Flight (Peak Spirit), Death Domain (Early Earth), Death Camouflage (Peak Spirit), Death Blade (Peak Spirit)]

[Affinities: Killing (Mid Saint), Fire (Low Saint), Good (Mid Saint), Holy (Peak Saint), Speed (Peak Saint), Death (Peak Saint)]

[Intent: Death (2%)]

[Special Abilities: Eternal Faith, Holy Wings, Voice of Conviction, May the Lord be with me, True Name, True Name]

‚Aside from the fact that intent was added to the status window, there is also a new ability called ‚True Name'. I wonder if that is somehow related to the fact that I just granted him a name?'

[True Name]

[The Lord has granted the Angel a True Name and therefore blessed his soul with kindness. He can now realize his full potential and needs to live up to the expectations of his Lord, for he is no longer just a nameless subject]

[Effect:

- increases comprehension by 50%

- talent in soul-related aspects +100%]

‚Seems pretty strong. But they will only be able to make use of the second part of the talent in the Nascent Soul Realm. The first part is really helpful to understand intent so maybe I should give all of them a name. As long as it makes them happy it's good.'

Aftewards Ezequiel tried to grant a name to all of his Angels, but for some reason it didn't work for everyone.

‚It seems like I can't just give them a name after a single battle. They need to have contributed a lot or need to be part of the reason we won. For now I could only name the Male Angel who created the arrays whom I named Harray, as well as the Archangel that led the Foundation Establishment Angels. I named her Elise.'

‚It seems like those three will be my strongest believers in the near future. With their increased comprehension they will be faster in understanding Intent than anyone else which also means they have the biggest combat power.'

‚But I feel kind of sorry for the other Angels. Living without a name must be hard. I always felt sad for not having a last name because I was an orphan so I can't even imagine how you would feel without any kind of name. Maybe its more bearable for them though since its part of their culture. Anyways, back to work!'

Next Ezequiel had to give out orders again. After all there were still goblins left on this planet. He would have to eradicate those for the entire planet to be his own. Usually a god would take the inhabitants of most planets they conquered as believers, but for this specific planet Ezequiel had another plan.

He would eradicate any living creature, be it monster or goblin, who had the ability to think or cultivate. He would not even keep livestock since the Angels were vegetarians and didn't even need to eat a lot. According to their own words they couldn't taint their holy bodies with the flesh of filthy creatures. The only thing that was barely acceptable for them were plants but as soon as they reached a level in ultimativen where they didn't need to eat anymore they would stop completely.

But back to the reason why Ezequiel wanted to kill any living thing on this planet: he wanted to designate it as his main planet of belief in the future. It would basically be the holy land for his religion where only Angels were allowed to reside permanently. Other species would at most be allowed to visit.

For that reason he would terraform and continuously upgrade this planet to create the perfect world for them. This wasn't actually his idea but instead came from the bloodline inheritance of the Angels. It was yet another advantage that high-level and peak level species held.

Inside their bloodline inheritance there were special buildings like temples or even warships that all had different effects and gave buffs. Angels as the only Unique species obviously couldn't be left in the dust here and aside from special buildings and warships they even had a special planet blueprint inside their bloodline inheritance.

Ezequiel once found it this fact by reading one of the Angels' memories and since then he was obsessed with the idea to create this special „Divine Angelic Realm" as it was called by the Angels. The benefits it granted were immense and from the day that Ezequiel laid eyes on it he was obsessed. Supposedly it was the most perfect and beautiful planet in creation. The only downside: it was fucking expensive. And the price would only increase as the planet-level went up so Ezequiel planned to create it right before the planet increased its level to mid-level world.

To increase the planet level you needed to conquer 25 low-level planets and fuse them into your own, so that would be Ezequiels next goal after conquering this planet first.
