So what is this build? Well, I am a god of death hell-bent on using titanic, quickly regenerating x3, almost unkillable, undead monstrosities to strike down the beasts that attack my future followers. My (more) beautiful avatar stands aside the Leader, my (more) undead avatar stands beside my hero. My underworld is an idealised version of the one that seems to be doomed. My followers learn great magic and are granted places to call upon my minions. There is a massive wall that keeps the monsters out of the places I saved and slowly devours more and more of the world until I am finally the supreme god that bested the apocalypse. In the places where the monsters have prevailed I will seed terrible plagues to thin out their herds. Wherever my avatars stand the people will be healed and filled with hope. I am the saviour of this world and the thousands of beasts that are slain in my honour will fuel me double.

There we go.

I am the Eldritch Abomination born form the City of the Gods, a Paradise. Knowing that I can't beat the other gods nor convert more people to my cause at such a state, I have chosen Worldgate to be able to infiltrate other worlds and begin my conversions and sacrifices here in my name. The Cultists will certainly be curious to learn about other worlds and thus will be my prime subject. I shall mutate and use him. He shall be instructed to tell people he captures about me, giving me power through both Fear and Knowledge perks, then finally sacrifice them to me, to which my power shall expand even more. If possible, they shall do this near a monument, bringing the whole process to maximum efficiency possible, and making me grow much faster.

While the two Cultists travel between realms, I shall prepare the child. He shall write small histories about my power as I influence him, making me a little tale within the City of the Gods, in preparation of my reign.

My ultimate goal will be the conquering the World I was spawned in, plunging it to chaos and despair.

Worshipers? Who needs them! I will be creating works of art with my construct minion, leave them alone. Spawning endless hordes of minions to protect the monuments and creating new fauna within my dominion to aid in my defense will be my hobby. I think i might create my own civilization with my humanoid minions. Of course i will be diplomatic with any neighboring gods, after all i am neutral and only need space to build upon. Should anyone wish to become my follower within my domain i will allow it, as long as they join my call to arms when a nearby masterpiece is in danger.

Maybe when i get stronger i will learn how to gain more empowerments, build an afterlife, get more minions.

COME AT ME BRUH

>>1649

Quality stuff, where did you found?

The policy of the cult is like this, In this life you live for your people, in the next you live for yourself, I want them to focus on long term planning, eugenics and such, to make a good future for their children, and worthy children for the future.

Manipulator

>8 essence

<12 influence

Influence is way more important than Essence.

World

Because I will take WorldGate I don't worry about this being a permanent choice, but I need a good start so I choose Primal World. I am relunctant tho, Land of Fantasy may better.

As I gain a foothold in a world I will move to the next. Primal>Sky Pilots>fantasy>after the end>earth>mysteries>the rest is my plan here.

Form

>mind robber

To understand the situation.

To explain to them the ideals and what awaits them in the underworld.

>Unearthly Charm (free)

Little use as I'm invisible.

>Lord of Hosts

At the start I will most likely have to force people to worship me, no? Well, that's what armies are for, that and defense.

That's 2 Essence.

God Powers

>Worldgate

I won't limit myself to just one world.

>Bolt

For taking down big guys, with no survivors.

>Change of Heart

‘’No more Essence left.’’

Plenty to study in the underworld.

Necessary to gain benefits from the underworld.

Societies that follow me will cull the weak, the unhealty newborn babies and sick will be killed have have their souls taken. I actually expect the dying sick to give me their life and souls willingly, if nothing else them to go to my underworld faster.

I don't know if "developing civilization"(building, teaching, farming, waging war) count as worship, so I wont pick that.

Now don't think because I have an army to defend your place you guys can just become Sweden. I fuly expect and demand my people to develop, train and prepare for war.

Mother is the nescessity of invention, those minions are only to stop genocide and be used as my personal army.

I am the god of war to my clan, my chosen people in these wastes. I thrive off the sacrifices given to me, the fear of their enemies, and the wars they wage in my name. I am their hope in times of need, and I take the form of two to lead their armies. Mass reincarnate to keep the armies full, and to scare the enemies. Aethar passage and living fog to stop the enemies from seeing our advance. My champions are the chieftain and his worthiest warrior. I desire to give my people dominion over the animals and a way to bring unending wars. My afterlife is to reward them for fighting the good fight, with the enemies slain in battle made as slaves in the afterlife.

I'll be focusing on my Domain, Empowerment and Prophets. End goal is to connect separate worlds and long distances while controlling the transportation (carrot meet stick), and to increase engineering/tech and magical knowledge/industry without letting it leak out (more carrot, more stick) by perhaps employing the genius minions and intelligent fauna. I'll use giant earth minions to build fortresses for my empire.

Summary

Both my beetle and roach minions are extremely small and have taken the form of an insect. So, they should be indistinguishable from a normal insect. This should make them very hard to find and stop. Both of my insect minions can spawn smaller versions of themselves, and will be doing so as often as possible. These smaller spawned minions will be the ones that go outside and carry out missions, while the larger insects remain in a safe place so that they may spawn more to replace the ones that are inevitably killed.

The beetle is my mind control minion. It has affinities over both life and death, which means it can control both the living and the dead. I gave it genius level intelligence so that it could fully put those talents to use. The beetle will encourage people to investigate me. Knowledge empowers me, so masses of people investigating me will be a large boost. The beetle will also cause chaos and destruction among groups of people who are working against the spread of my influence - they'll be made to tear each other apart.

The roach has the power of divine focus. When it sacrifices itself at a location I can use any of my god powers at that location "outside of normal caster restrictions". This lets me do things like use "change of heart" on numerous influential people in a single day. I can use "area banish" and "pacify" multiple times in many different areas around the world to totally shut down avatars and supernatural armies. I can bring whole cities to their knees in moments by sacrificing a bunch of roaches to spam "fissure" and "plague".

My techno angels are higher ranking minions. While my beetle will encourage people to research me, it is the job of my techno angels to provide that information and to shill for me. I'll have techno angels working full time both on the internet and outside. Outside of the information war, they may do things like go to a hospital and use their heal ability on people before declaring "it is the will of our lord that you be healed" to improve my image. Their attractiveness may help them bring more people in. They can go invisible and act as spies. They have both enhanced speed and flight to escape from hostile threats. They can destroy and control technology, which should be extremely useful in the future. Finally, they will serve as commanders, organizing and giving orders to groups of beetles and roaches while keeping in contact with me.

Lord of hosts combined with summoning sites will result in explosive growth as my minions fan out and expand.

In my underworld, my realm guardians may have any of the abilities I have granted to my other minions. Since I have a humanoid minion that is attractive, this will let me make all of my realm guardians beautiful women. I'll have a restoration cycle of one month, so people who die in my underworld are revived quickly, but not so quickly as to trivialize their failure. The citadel will let me reincarnate whomever I choose. The steward will manage most things so that I can relax. I've got a variety of exotic terrain types, legendary beasts, and dungeons to keep things interesting. I can manifest in my underworld and enjoy things as I please.

>>6770

Sage so I don't keep spam bumping this. My chosen prophet seems unimportant so I did not bother with it. I can change of heart numerous people in a single day, after all. Anyway, I guess I'll choose the leader, because they seem like they would have the biggest impact.

Methodology: Quick-Start

World: Land of Fantasy

Form: Shapeshifter, Water Form

God Powers: Change of Heart, Ressurect

Empowerment: Monuments, Worship

Prophet: Don't need them as I have change of mind.

Divine Gifts:Beauty, Magecraft, Resilence, Immortality

Dominion: Terrain Warp, Whispers.

Humanoid minion: Divine Focus, Get Back Up, Attraction, Genius, Healer, Flight, Affinity: Life, Smithing.

Underworld: Judgement: Restoration Cycles, Weather Mastery, Legendary Beasts, Realm Guardians

Change of heart and ressurection are powerful as heck, if you convert a random king the next day you'll have him trying to convert his whole kingdom, or at least building a few monuments in my honor, and that's what empowers me anyways.Everyone should look up to my followers, this is why I gave them such powers, and my sole minion is fodder for me to use ressurection more and more, miracles inspire people after all.

>Judgement Underworld

That leaves 7 influence and 5 underworld choices for further customization. Those options are more or less irrelevant to the core meaning of the build, so I'm going to leave them out for now.

Basically, what I do here is summon minions by any means necessary. My followers and prophet can all do so easily, as can my Avatar via lord of hosts. Even my minions are capable of summoning more minions. Their "lesser" status and tiny size makes them extremely cheap to summon in multitudes. Every single minion I have can sacrifice itself for "divine focus", allowing my to cast one of my powers near them without waiting for the cooldown. Because of "get back up" they don't even die when this happens, and with "perpetual" they can quickly regenerate themselves for another "sacrifice". Flight, tiny size and ghostly allows them to get basically anywhere, and anything that could potentially keep them out still won't stop my avatar from getting in and summoning them directly.

The plan is simply to unleash a swarm of brain bugs and take over the minds of all of the other gods followers. From the lowest peasant to the highest priest, ALL will be mine. The only choice the others will have is to kill their own followers before I can take them, because once they are mine killing them only adds to my own power in the Underworld. Even should all life be exterminated though, I can still resurrect followers from my underworld. I choose the "judgement" underworld because it is the least exclusive, my goal is quantity not quality here, as many souls as I can get to empower myself.

Originally this build had "insectoid" form minions (hence "brain bugs"), but that doesn't really provide any power and it would mean sacrificing flight or ghostly.
