Chapter 6 - Holy Church

*Raven was so concentrated on gaining his first follower and saving him that he forgot about the fact that he was still a part mortal and only after reaching over a certain amount of followers will he no longer needed to consume anything for sustaining himself, but till then he had to consume Mana Stones that supplemented him for real food every once a month. One benefit was that consuming Mana Stones increases his overall abilities and Mana, after leaving the control room for a brief few minutes he returned to find the God of Incarnation,Shikaha had came by to inspect if Raven was doing his task as intended. Seeing that Raven had already gained a follower in less then an month he seemed impressed. He also soon left Raven alone as he was no longer interested in the matters of Orbus and left them for Raven to take care, being satisfied by him.

Raven started to overlook Arthur again as the construction of the First church was being worked on. As he was watching his System beeped. Raven was caught off guard as he catches himself from nearly falling down from his seat. Looking at the system Raven say that the System was alerting him as the Corruption rate had grown rapidly, but it was of not much concerns as it had only reached 1% and Raven couldn't even find how it went up to 1%. He decided to worry about the corruption as it starts to show up more prominently and after he had successed in finding the source of the problem. Looking at the fact that the Council of Gods as to state did not inform him of anything except that the issue had to do with the previous God of Mischief and an unknown issue, Raven could only ponder on whether it was the God of Mischief's mistake that the Corruption was spreading or was it the unknown "issue" that they refine to talk anything else about then it needing to be fixed. Raven looked at his System and started to surf what all could he do to which he stumbled on to "locked access" information. On asking the System about it Raven received a reply that "This information is out of your reach please complete the minimum requirements of each level to unlock new features". Raven noticed that he could actually see what the first lock feature was, it was "Morph" and Raven had a general idea what it could be even without the description being provided, yet. Morph could have meant that either he will be able to transform into an animal to explore Orbus in first person or he might be able to take over the body of a animal to assent down to guide his followers, he wasn't fully sure.

Going back to Arthur, who decided it was a great idea to ask his God what his appearance was like to make a statue for preying. Raven was a bit held back because he had yet to unlock the ability to assent down his presence or show an image to Arthur, so he started to think when he had a genius idea. He conducted Arthur that as he had thought Raven was a God who had lost a great part of his strength fighting otherworldly monster and now is weak, he would not be able to assent down or show him how he looks. He also said that Arthur should not keep a statue in place he should make all prey to the being they desire to prey to, when he gains some lf his powers back he would show his face to Arthur. Arthur was a bit taken a back and Raven's perfect lie acted as a great coverup story for his future plans of leading his followers to stop the corruption before it had grown too much or had started to show signs on the world, he also thought that he could describe the corruption to be the doing of the otherworldly monster's last remains and that he couldn't kill it because of restriction reasons etc. As Raven continued to think of plot and else, Author went to earn money by going to dungeons. Raven also started to look for potential followers around the Aradon Empire because he wanted to grow himself first in the most interacted place in the whole of Orbus, Aradon Empire, as his frame would increase and the information of a God's reawakening would spread more effectively.

As Raven continued to think of a plot for Orbus, like he was making a Game's Story he received a notification, his frame was growing. Raven could only think of one person, Arthur. As he started to look back at were Arthur was he saw Arthur distributing food in the more poor and neglected area of Atlush, continuing to say to all that what he was doing was charity under the name of his "God". Raven was impressed in Arthur's generosity and the fact that he continued to increase Raven's frame without even knowing the name of the God he was following. As he continued to do his charity, someone asked him if the "God" he referred to was the mythical beings that guided humanity in the ancient tales passed down generations then what was the name of this "God". Arthur noticed that he never asked the one he followed for a name or what to call him, as he stopped in his tracks Raven's voice echoed his ears "Raven the God of Justice". Coincidentally, the God of Incarceration, Shikaha was watching Raven's actions giving a smirk being entertaining by how Raven took care of each situation as if he had done this hundreds of times.

As everything was going on, Raven heards another sound of his System, he had gained a new title, "The Proclaimed God of Justice". Looking at it Raven just noticed what he said and started to get embarrassed and look around, seeing no one he thought to himself, " I am floating with the flow, so much so that I am starting to forget the fact that I used to be a human. I need to keep my brain ground level, flying in the sky will not work" slapping his face red, he felt the sense pf accomplishment in the smiles that came from Arthur's charity as if he was the one doing it. Raven had made his mind, he is not letting Orbus get destroy, not till he was alive. *
