210 Technology And Darkness (2/2)

Angels got to work creating conveyor belts, machinery that would man the conveyor belts, and all sorts of monitoring stations for the factory. As they set to work furnishing the interior of the factory, I received a notification that brought a smile to my face. As I began to read it, I bestowed a number of blessings on the warriors who had fought for me, and then opened a number of portals allowing them to head back home.

Wordlessly I devised a notification asking them to return to their homes and thanking them for their service. The vast legion I had just assembled all began to head back through portals that would allow them to return to their lives, stronger and more experienced for having fought in this battle.

I had just acquired a number of significant powers, ones that I would use to be able to continue my war against Agustino without the help of my largely organic legions. Among my new abilities I could now create a new type of inorganic soldier: robots.

[Technology Subdomain Details:

The subdomain of technology is an incredibly potent subdomain. If anything could be considered a ”greater subdomain” it would be this subdomain. This subdomain governs all technology, which is among other things inventions such as sea and space faring vehicles known as ships, the mechanized and artificial lifeforms known as robots and androids, and weapons such as guns.

Technology is wrongly considered by some to be the lawful response to magic. That would imply that there is a conflict between the two. There is no conflict between technology and magic, and indeed in the ancient past skillful gods of industry and civilization wove both together and changed the multiverse.

Ancient gods of technology created vast intergalactic empires utilizing technology. To gain greater power over this domain you must build cults that utilize technology and actively use the powers this subdomain grants you.

Technology Subdomain Primary Passive Powers:

Android and Robot Mastery: You are the lord-god of robots and androids. This power allows you to create robots and androids freely and also be recognized as their god whenever you wish to be even by ones you didn't create. Robots and androids are artificial lifeforms made of various metal or of synthetic material.

There are synergistic components of this power. As a god of destruction and death, you can destroy robots and androids at will, even the most complex. You can also inflict diseases on them, as well as computer viruses, or otherwise, render them vulnerable to such things. You can also fill them with souls and bless them as you can bless other creatures.

Artificial Intelligence Creation and manipulation: By synergizing the domains of life, the mind, and the subdomain of technology you can create artificial intelligences. Artificial intelligences can serve a number of purposes, but most frequently inhabit technology, particularly robots. You can also corrupt or otherwise indoctrinate existing artificial intelligences.

Basic Technology Lordship: You have mastery over all forms of technology less advanced than spaceships capable of moving at the speed of light. This means you can control everything from catapults to drones and can shatter them just as easily. You can create or destroy any of this technology at will.

Computer Mastery: You have total control over computers, devices that store, and process data. Artificial intelligences can go within these computers. You also now lord over computer viruses, a type of program that alters and harms computers. Having total control over computers means you can control a range of technology, particularly different planetary and interplanetary internets.

Customization: This is a multi-synergistic power. With it you can apply all sorts of abilities to your mechanized servants and to other bits of technology.

Technology Subdomain Active Powers:

Robotization: Once per week you can transform any non-extraplanar entity or greater being into a robot. The robots you create this way are, like all other robots, automatically loyal to you once they learn of you.

Technology Subdomain Blessing and Curse Details:

This is one of the subdomains where the effects of blessings or curses depend on who receives them. If organic or at least non-technological lifeform receives a blessing they gain improved ability with technology and a faster mind to help process information quicker. Cursing a non-technological lifeform will lessen their ability with technology and slows their minds.

Blessing technological lifeforms gives them enhanced intelligence, physiques, and turns them into champions of yours. Cursing them harms them significantly.]

Reading through the notification fascinated me. I felt powers surging into me and my mind expanded further still thanks to the new bevy of domain sense notifications I was receiving. For the first time since I had fallen to my knees when I first absorbed the memories of Solomon, I got back on my feet.

All around me creatures were either leaving, or were hard at work building my admittedly unorthodox new settlement. All sorts of angels were hard at work completing various tasks to aid me, their lord-god. The portions of the plain that we had chosen to house the settlement were undergoing a vast change and one that was occurring extremely rapidly. The angels were a tireless, and thanks to me limitlessly powerful force when it came to building settlements rapidly.

Their willingness to do what I had previously done myself gave me the freedom I needed to begin to have some fun. And I knew what I wanted to do. I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to adjust to the darkness of my eyelids before I began to think of what to do next. The only thing I knew for sure was that I wanted to test out my new powers. As well as a few specific possibilities that I had thought of while I was reading through the notification alerting me to what I had earned in earning the first tier of influence over the technology subdomain.

I was a god of shadows, darkness, chaos, parasites, and evil. And that made me the perfect god to be worshiped and served by praereptor demons, shadowy and incorporeal parasites who without my intervention lacked physical bodies of their own. That said, I could give them bodies freely and now I could give them a new type of body. Or at least I suspected that I could.

I considered using Sombra, my pet praereptor demon, to test this out but I knew she was fond of her body. I had modeled Sombra's physical body after Imbrosa Ravenfist, a drider who was one of the most beautiful creatures I had ever seen so I couldn't fault her fondness for her body. That said, I had recently acquired the ability to create praereptor demons on my own, thanks to a title I had acquired.

I moved one of my hands until it was in front of my face. I chuckled and opened my eyes so that I may see what was about to happen. I wanted to watch the mystical processes that allowed me to create a demon unfold. For the first time since I had acquired the title ”The Shadowy Lord of the Unseen”, I activated the key power that came with it. I created a praereptor demon.
