The Target

"Transcendence Stage...? What is that?" Wain muttered with a confused look.

"It's a power that's separate from anything you've heard about before. To be perfectly accurate, the Transcendence Stage isn't above or below the God Stage, it's just something different." Abyss Artist said in a calm voice.

He looked into the distance at the massive pillars of energy and continued, "To reach the God Stage you need followers, in other words, your power depends on the number of followers and how strong their faith in you is."

Wain nodded, "Yeah, that doesn't work for me. It's a real headache. Also, if someone kills all my followers who are obviously weaker than me, then my power as God is greatly diminished, isn't it?"
