Nearly a million believers, more than 1.6 million in Power of Faith!
"Didn’t check for a while, and the Power of Faith has increased by so much?"
Rogel was somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Although he had long anticipated a significant boost in Power of Faith after consuming the Scott Region.
But he didn’t expect such a rapid increase.
The Scott Region was vast, with a considerable population.
If you include the entire population of Magrela and Black Tide City, there are millions of people.
And the Power of Faith from millions of believers is enough to sustain a Faith Spirit Demigod!
...But there’s a premise, that is, all the civilians under the Faith territory are believers.
Naturally, this is impossible; if spreading Faith was that easy, Rogel would have no need to change the Faith system, and it would suffice to just seize territory.
He had long instructed Sharo to conduct some investigations, including the Kizi Church’s "believer conversion rate".
This is a term he thought up himself, meaning the probability of civilians becoming believers after Faith is spread.
For instance, an island with a population of one hundred thousand, if a certain Faith is spread and there are a thousand believers, then the believer conversion rate is one percent.
The "believer conversion rate" of the Kizi Church is around seven percent, which is relatively high.
This high statistic is thanks to the nuns of the Kizi Church, who have made significant contributions.
But such a Kizi Church, when placed in front of Rogel, is entirely inadequate.
Because his "believer conversion rate" has reached a terrifying forty percent, or even higher!
It’s important to realize that not everyone in the total population can become a believer and provide Faith.
An infant can’t learn to pray before learning to speak, right?
Moreover, his jurisdiction allows Extraordinary beings to exist.
Seeing it this way, one understands just how terrifying the forty percent believer conversion rate truly is.
It can be said that as long as one is a normal person thinking rationally within Rogel’s Faith territory, the vast majority have become his believers.
They are spontaneously providing Rogel with immense Power of Faith!
If other Churches’ Faith Spirits knew about this, they’d likely go mad with jealousy on the spot.
It should be noted that in most Churches, there is a group of "Missionaries" responsible for spreading the Faith.
As for Rogel’s side... he has forgotten, and doesn’t plan to organize it.
Because the islanders within his Faith territory spontaneously spread the Faith.
This can be observed from the increasing number of refugees received in Black Tide City.
Hence, the need for a group of "Missionaries" is virtually nonexistent; pure word of mouth suffices.
This is the Effect brought about by the Faith system he has implemented!
"In this case, there is no need to explore the border fog any further."
"That’s good; I was almost worn out."
Rogel breathed a sigh of relief.
He was initially not so optimistic about the gains of Power of Faith, given that the Black Tide Secret Society had just taken control of Scott, and the influence of the Kizi Church would presumably persist for a while.
Thus, he had the plan to search for treasures in the border fog.
After all, the randomness of the border fog is considerable; the more attempts, the more likely he is to encounter a Divine Artifact, or perhaps something that directly transforms Heisatan into a god.
However, this method’s price is... it consumes too much time and energy.
Rogel nearly exhausted himself just procuring the materials for an Angel Potion, having encountered various opportunities along the way, but most were life-threating to obtain.
Achieving his desired objectives through this means might take eons.
But now that the Power of Faith is rising so quickly, he no longer needs to trouble himself.
He can directly use the massive Power of Faith for a grand enlightening... ascending to Demigod!
