Wayne had an epiphany and came to a rather shocking conclusion.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
He shook his head repeatedly. Pride had not become a god, merely the closest to one. The devils wielded the authority over territories, but did not truly own the land. There could only be one explanation.
Hell had always been waiting; the Great Demon God had yet to arrive at his loyal domain!
"Now that makes sense..."
Wayne sighed in relief. He had overthought it earlier. Once calm, there was plenty of evidence to refute the claim that Pride was a deity.
On par with Pride was the Archangel, the humblest among the Seven Virtues, the Seraph, Vice Sovereign Michael of the Kingdom of Heaven, renowned as "Godlike."
Godlike, translated literally, equates to Michael's strength being comparable to the divine.
If Michael were a Subsidiary God of the Heavenly Father, he would be the most powerful Demigod. Pride would also occupy this position, equals without having lit the Divine Fire.
