This article contains MAJOR SPOILERS relating to some of the most pivotal parts of Lord of Mysteries and Circle of Inevitability.

The quest for Godhood is rife with peril. Are you so sure you can truly evolve into an Angel? You should be aware that we’re not talking about slim odds here. Saying it’s a one-in-a-million or one-in-ten-million chance doesn’t even begin to capture the enormous task of ascending to the Angel level.

Angels (天使, Tiānshǐ) 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, "Their" truest form. 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 due to the symbolisms of Decay, Death and Passage of Time, but most have abilities that can help themselves to extend their lives.
        • Even if all True Gods and Great Old Ones symbolizing Death, Decay, and Termination did not exist, "They"' will still die.[6]
        • Dying of aging is something that the majority of resurrection abilities cannot take effect against.[7]
    • "They" can use "Their" Mythical Creature Form at will and without danger to "Themselves".
    • Revealing "Their" Mythical Creature Form results in a significant increase in power.[8]
  • Prayers: "They" can answer prayers within a planet.[9]
  • Characteristics Shattering: "They" can temporarily shatter Beyonder Characteristics, eliminating any corruption within and separating the lower and higher Sequences.[10]
  • Characteristic Separation: "They" can separate out "Their" spare Beyonder Characteristics that's not of "Their" highest sequence.[?]
  • Resistance to Sefirot: "They" can resist the Sefirot's ability to establish a connection through the knowledge of "Their" existence, mainly in three ways:[11]
    1. "They" could use the status and strength of a complete Mythical Creature.
    2. "They" could suppress "Their" Anchors, using the mental imprint the Original Creator left in "Them" to offset the corruption.
    3. 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.[12]
  • Symbolic Existence: "They" become a symbol of certain phenomena at Sequence 1.[13]
    • While in a battle between Angels, this symbol doesn't play a decisive role, it influences the outcome.[14]
  • "They" are able to cast "Their" gaze into the Astral World.[15]
  • Boon Bestowal: Existences at the level of Angels or above can bestow Boons.[16]
