“ | Mr. Fool really has an angel as an attendant! Every angel has at least the power of a Sequence 2… Although that’s expected and I’ve already expected it, it’s still amazing because it has finally been verified! And only deities can control angels! |

Angels refer to Sequence 1 and 2 Beyonders. "They" are complete mythical creatures and require an anchor to prevent "Them" from going mad. "They" can respond to prayers all over the world and were once known as Subsidiary Gods in ancient times. Those who accommodate more than one Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic or the Uniqueness of "Their" pathway or some control over their corresponding Sefirot are known as Kings of Angels.
Each pathway can only have at most three Sequence 1 angels. If there is a Sequence 0 of this pathway, it usually means there are no Sequence 1 angels and that the second highest Sequence of this pathway is Sequence 2. There are a few exceptions: for example, a Sequence 0 Visionary can separate two of "His" Sequence 1 characteristic to an imagined entity while filling the gap in their own Beyonder characteristic with two imagined characteristics.
If a pathway has three Sequence 1 Angels, the corresponding Sequence 2 Angels can only number six to eight, with the specific amount varying by pathway.[1] This is on the assumption that each of the Sequence 1 Angels possess a Sequence 2 Beyonder characteristic of the same pathway.
In the canon of the seven major Churches, they were filled with legends of Angels and Saints. Angels are depicted with distinct characteristics—typically adorned with a pair of pure white wings on their backs, though some may possess as many as two, three, or even six pairs of such wings.[2] In the Church of the Evernight Goddess’ bible, a clear distinction is made between angels and archangels, the latter referring to Sequence 1.[3] As described in the various Church canons, an archangel has twelve pairs of wings.[4][5]
General Powers/Characteristics of Angels[]
- Complete Mythical Creature: "Their" Mythical Creature Form becomes complete. This has many advantages:
- "They" appearance will never age and no longer need to eat or drink to survive.
- "They" can still die of old age, but most have abilities that can help themselves to extend their lives.
- "They" can use "Their" Mythical Creature Form at will and without danger to "Themselves".
- "They" appearance will never age and no longer need to eat or drink to survive.
- World Prayers: "They" are able to answer prayers from all over the world.[6] "They" can directly descend to the location of "Their" believers via "Their" believers' prayers.[7]
- Characteristics Shattering: "They" can temporarily shatter Beyonder Characteristics, eliminating any corruption within and separating the lower and higher Sequences.[8]
- Resistance to Sefirot: "They" can resist the Sefirot's ability to establish a connection through the knowledge of "Their" existence, mainly in three ways:[9]
- "They" could use the status and strength of a complete Mythical Creature.
- "They" could suppress "Their" Anchors, using the mental imprint The Original Creator left in "Them" to offset the corruption.
- If "They" are in control of a Sefirah "Themselves", "They" could use "Their" Sefirah's aura.
- Spirit World Travel: With positioning, Angels could directly traverse the spirit world.[10]
- Symbolic Existence: "They" become a symbol of certain phenomena at Sequence 1.[11]
List of Angels of Standard Pathways[]
Below lists the angels of standard pathways that appeared in the book. The angel's Sequence number is noted in "()";
- (K) means "They" are a King of Angels;
- (0) means the angel advanced to Sequence 0 and joined the ranks of true Gods in this epoch;
- (a → b) means that in this Epoch, the angel's earliest known Sequence was Sequence 'a' and latest known Sequence was Sequence 'b'.
- † means "They" are deceased.
Spoiler :
(Toggle to activate or deactivate the hidden element.)
Notes: Although the table is divided by each epoch, some angels may die or become gods in that epoch. "Their" name is in that column only means "They" existed at that time.
The chart is not exhaustive because some angel families are hardly mentioned in the book.
List of Angels of Non-Standard Pathways[]
- Termiboros: An angel of the Eternal Aeon Pathway under the Circle of Inevitability.
- Ludwig Phil: An angel of the Gluttony Pathway formerly under the Primordial Hunger.[12]
- Amon: Originally an angel of the Error Pathway, "He" later switched to the Eternal Aeon Pathway.[13]
Angels of Unknown Pathways or Identity[]

- Angel killed by the Quill of Alzuhod in the Fourth Epoch.[16]
Suspected Ones[]

- Saint Samuel: The Backlund archbishop of the Church of the Evernight Goddess during the Fourth Epoch of the Trunsoest Empire. According to the Church of Evernight's Letters of the Saints, he entered the Evernight Goddess' divine kingdom before dying, becoming an angel.[18]
Sequence 1 Characteristics Whereabouts[]
“ | Angel-level Beyonder characteristics, especially Sequence 1, are not only limited but very rare, and their locations are relatively certain. |

— Fors Wall on Circle of Inevitability, Chapter 1038 |
Every Pathway has exactly 1 Uniqueness and 3 Sequence 1 characteristics. This is an attempt to trace the current whereabouts of the Uniqueness and Sequence 1 characteristics of the 22 Standard Pathways on Earth. Note that the names below with (?) attached are still conjectures.
