Abaddon, You Get It and Lose It, Might As Well Not Get It At All

Nimrod gazed at the newly advanced "Shepherd" before him, Ramsey, and gave his orders.

"After you leave Purgatory Star, go to Sonem VIII and choose Wraiths and Evil Spirits to 'graze.'"

Hearing this, Ramsey immediately recalled the information that had flooded into his mind when his soul was being torn apart.

The core ability he had gained after becoming a "Shepherd" was "grazing"—grazing lambs for a god.

The souls that could be "grazed" included Wraiths and Evil Spirits.

"I will follow Your will." Ramsey bowed and accepted the order.

"This is only a short-term transition." Nimrod thought for a moment, then continued giving instructions.

"Communicate with the Royal Court members within the Chapter and select those who still wish to fight at your side after death. Choose them for the Honor Guard."

"After they die, 'graze' their souls."

"Every hundred years, replace the souls you are 'grazing.'"

A "Shepherd" could "graze" at most seven souls, and the number of Wraiths and Evil Spirits they could command was far fewer than that of the "Death God" pathway's Sequence 5 "Gatekeeper." What could truly bring out their combat strength were still the souls of Beyonders.

When a "Shepherd" "grazed" each soul, they could choose three Beyonder abilities to solidify, and they could not be changed afterward.

By effectively combining twenty-one Beyonder abilities, a "Shepherd" could be called the most comprehensive among Sequence 5s, and under a perfect combination, could be considered the strongest sequence.

The Beyonder abilities "recorded" by "Recorders" like Santiago Bergkamp were ultimately inferior to the originals.

"Scholars" like Arsena Dunn constantly observed and researched, but they still found it difficult to fully understand Beyonder abilities, making it almost impossible to perfectly replicate them.

As for "Flame Stealers" like Tierney, Nimrod had outright forbidden them from "stealing" Beyonder abilities.
