I was discussing Berserk with another person and he posed the question/theory of "Is it possible that there are multiple stages of Apostles?" For example, the God Hand offered the Snail Count more power if he sacrificed his daughter, and still had his Behelit. The Snake Tyrant also had his Behelit and Wyld tried to call the God Hand by using Griffith's Behelit. Then there are those Apostles like Zodd, Gurunberd, Locus, and such who seem to be greatly more powerful than the average Apostle. Could it be that some Apostles did not sacrifice everything during their initial use of the Behelit and were able to sacrifice something else later for even greater power? Could part of this superior level/stage be that the Apostles become more deeply connected to the Vortex instead of the Interstice and Physical realms, which attributes to this power?
