The reasons why I have decided on this step were numerous, and one of the main ones was to obtain even greater strength than before. For thousands of years, citizens who worshiped me as "God" were more and more, especially among the commoners, creating an enormous amount of the Faith Power that went towards me every passing second.
I had also reached the limit of what I could do with the Faith Power with my own methods, and I couldn't suppress the rising religion of my persona; and soon, after several centuries had passed, I had to invest a lot to suppress me forcefully becoming God in the Baator.
In the end, I asked members of the Longinus Dreizhen Orden for help, and Rot Spinne presented me with a method to create a Godhood from another Universe. This type of Godhood was far superior to the Gods of the Astral Boundary.
Gods of that universe were divided into Demigod, Lesser God, Common God, and Paramount God. Demigods were equivalent to pinnacle Super Devils, Lesser Gods to Apocalypse-Class, Common God to Dimensional-Class, and Paramount God to Lord-Class.
Gods that practiced this kind of Godhood Path would be considered as equals to the Beings of Law.
Their division was based on the strength of their Godhood, which was rated through the Godhood Index.
The advantage of this method was that people didn't need to depend on their worshippers to advance and supply the Power of Faith and could advance by themselves. Secondly, using the Power of Faith to refine Godhood in this method didn't have any side effects. Even if one's worshippers were killed to the last one, it wouldn't affect God in any way, contrary to Gods of the Astral Boundary, who will slowly wither.
While through the usage of these methods, Gods lacked the Divine Kingdom, they made it up with their terrifyingly strong bodies and energy resistances to any kind of energy. Additionally, the Godhead condensed acted as some kind of energy factory that was able to create an almost endless stream of energy.
After I have created a Godhead through this method, I have instantly ascended as Lesser God with Godhood of Father of All Devils. After additional thousand years and some centuries, I have increased my Godhood Index to almost the limit of Common God.
Right now, my physical strength was comparable to the pinnacle of Great Step Holy Spirit Warlock and soon would reach Quasi-Empyrean, meaning my body strength would be comparable to almost Empyrean Treasure.
Additionally, I have obtained a ton of abilities, like I can create Blessings and become entirely immune to Holy and Light Elements. Also, my energy regeneration capabilities shot to the limit, and even if I constantly used Magic Rules to fight, I would hardly find any difference, as my Godhead supplemented me with an enormous amount of Demonic Energy every second.
Coupled with my previous abilities, I was walking an energy generation factory. On top of my terrifying physical body, there were only a few Tier 10 existences that could compete with me aside from those at the Half-Step to the next realm.
In the entire Baator, people who had condensed Godhood and were worshiped as gods in the Baator could be counted on the one hand. I have also inspired myself by Time Emperor, who forged peerless Empyrean Grade Treasure, God Slaying Spear, who killed anyone who tried to become God in the Canghzi Plane and crafted one too, though its grade was only Holy Grade, but it was enough to kill anyone who will try to ascend without my permission.
Currently, the only widely worshipped Gods, aside from me there, were only Hela and Sigmar, who practiced this method and transformed their Divinities into this type of Godhood, and after that, their strength grew exponentially.
Of course, a few people were allowed to become Gods, but they were few, and each of them reached at least Lesser God.
And there was another reason why I forbade anyone to ascend as God in Baator through the method of the Astral Boundary.
As I held Command Sequence of the Baator, I was an ultimate ruler of the plane, but it didn't mean I could be everywhere and forbid anyone ascending as God through and occupy God Slot, which would require permanent attention from me, and that was not realistic.
What I aimed for was to fuse all God Slots, present, and future, into me, becoming the sole God of Baator. This, coupled with an entire control over the Command Sequence, would make me almost unkillable because as long as Baator existed, I would exist. Even if I am killed, I would be reborn without losing my strength and progress, and due to my True Name Isaiah, I would be reborn instantly, as this would greatly boost my rebirth abilities.
If this succeeded, only Tier 13 Beings and higher would have the ability to kill me, or rather for the better word, erase me from existence, as in a certain sense, I would be unkillable. Not only this, but if I ascend as God of Baator, I could name Apostles that would share this ability of mine, meaning my closest family would enjoy this form of "Immortality".
Of course, this wasn't finite; I could still be sealed somewhere or killed through special methods. The biggest downside of this method was if Baator was ever destroyed, while I wouldn't die from it, I would be injured so severely that recuperation would be night impossible.
Still, the probability of the Secondary Grade 2 Plane being destroyed is very, very low, so I opted for this method.
For centuries, I have been slowly adjusting Baator and refining the Plane's Will.
Even at the 100%, Command Sequence didn't mean absolute control, as strong or unique planes still had consciousness of their own and could resist the control to a certain degree.
This plan could be executed when Baator became Grade 1 Plane; only then I would be able to infuse all God Slots into my body and evolve to an even higher form of being.
