Hou Yi

**Hou Yi** is a God of the Chinese Pantheon and the Godly Patron of Zang Wei.

## History

Hou Yi is known as the mythological archer, hence he grants his apostle Zang Wei powers in relation to Archery.

During the strife of the One-Horned Tribe, Hou Yi eventually abandons Zang Wei when he came to realize that Cha Yeon-woo was beyond what they had expected. One who rivalled the gods. To avoid even more losses he cut him loose and takes away his blessings and Wei's position as his Apostle.

## Abilities

As one of the Trinity Wonder, one of the foremost servants of the Heavenly Demon, Hou Yi stands as one of the most powerful Transcendents in the Obelisk and is universally respected and feared for his power among them.

### Apostle

* **Powers:** Like all Gods, Hou Yi possess his own set of [Powers] that symbolizes his "concept" as a Transcendent Being. Like other Transcendents, Hou Yi is able to share and give his chosen Apostle a portion of his own powers in order to increase their strength. As seen from his previous Apostle, Zang Wei was given numerous powers belonging to Hou Yi that cemented his position as the **"Bow God"** of Cheonghwado and gave him the position of a High Ranker.
	+ **The Four Directions Archery:** As his Apostle, Zang Wei was given by Hou Yi immense power and the unique skill called the "Four Directions Archery" that was stated to be powerful enough to destroy a Sun and embodied the conceptual legend of his patron god Hou Yi, who was stated to have shot down several suns in his legend. This Power primarily gave Zang Wei the ability to create and fire arrows of light using his bow.

* + - **Sojeung:** Another sub-Power given to him as an Apostle to Hou Yi, this power allows Zhang Wei to shoot arrows of light that immediately splits up into tens of multiple arrows of light that once comes hitting its contact creates ten powerful explosions to create powerful large-long range bombardment.
		- **Sojeung-Rabid Showers:** A follow up ability that is used after firing his **Sojeung** that creates smaller, but incredibly numerous, smaller explosions.
		- **Arrow Of Light:** A light based skill that presumably allows Zang Wei to fire a powerful arrow made of light. It was implied that this skill was strong enough to injure or possibly kill the Martial King,Nayu if he allowed it to cleanly hit him.
		- **Arrow of the Falling Sun:** By continuously shooting out arrows that then disintegrate and divide into strands of light that then fly around the intended targets and continue to multiply, the Strands of light would then begin condescending and gathering together and producing immense heat, and forming into a column of light that the Bow God would then fire at his intended target. The destructive power of this Skill was stated to be strong enough to kill the Summer Queen in one shot and was stated to have the potential to kill a God.
	+ **Stealth Stalking:** Another Skill that Zang Wei had acquired upon becoming the Apostle of **Hou Yi** that grants him immense stealth based abilities and allows him to easily sneak up on even members of the Nine Kings. As seen Zang Wei was able to stealthily sneak up on both the Summer Queen and the Martial King while they were in the heat of battle against each other and was able to begin activating his skill [Arrow of Light] to fire against the King while his back was turned.

### System Authority

Hou Yi was one of the three creators of the Obelisk's System under the Heavenly Demon's orders, as such Hou Yi has a deeper understanding and authority level over the Tower's System and could control it and use it to a higher degree than the other Gods and Demons and the other Players of the Obelisk, who were only users of the System.

### Authorities

#### Moon God

As the "Master of the Moon", its likely that Hou Yi himself has certain powers related to manipulating the moon.
