Some Speculations on Outer Gods and Ancient Ones

Hobart did not quite understand what Trensoost meant. Logically speaking, any normal god would certainly have passed through Sequence 2. At that point, They would possess one Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristic within Their body.

After advancing to Sequence 1, They would very likely gain another Sequence 2 Characteristic within Their body.

Then, once They had consumed all the Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristics and become a god, theoretically, They would have at least four Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristics within Their body.

According to Trensoost, if a god of a pathway could expel Sequence 2 Characteristics, then wouldn't a church have eight angels?

Of course, that was assuming it had gathered all the Sequence 2 Characteristics of that pathway.

But a new question arose. Based on Hobart's observations, the Orthodox God Churches did not seem to have that many angels.

Hobart asked in confusion, "Based on there being nine Sequence 2 Beyonder Characteristics, if all the Sequence 2 Characteristics of an entire pathway were gathered, an Orthodox God Church should have between five and eight angels.

"If there are only three angels, is it because an Orthodox God needs at least six Sequence 2 Characteristics to maintain Their state?"

"First of all, even after reaching the True God level, one cannot expel whichever Characteristics one wishes." Trensoost said, "Generally speaking, a True God needs three Sequence 2 Characteristics within Their body.

"To a certain extent, this should be affected by the Extraordinary Characteristics Aggregation Law.

"Only those beyond three can be expelled. Tudor's and my situations were special, but even then, we could only expel one Duke of Entropy Characteristic at will.

"Having fewer than three would affect a god's state. At most, one's body can contain six Sequence 2 Characteristics."

Trensoost smiled. "You have such an innocent idea because you overlooked
