The reincarnated Gods knelt, "Praise you, Lord Almighty."
"Rise."
Including these newborn four High Gods, he now had a total of forty-three High Gods under his command. Even in the entire Beast God Pantheon, which had been established for an uncountable number of years, they barely had a dozen High Gods.
His gaze settled on Maddox. The former God of Death was now a fanatical believer of the Divine Emperor, which meant that when Micteya arrived in a few days, expecting to collect her brother, she would instead find him kneeling in the Imperial Capital with a completely different theological orientation.
He tried to imagine her blood pressure at that moment and found the attempt genuinely enjoyable.
He dismissed them to the noble courtyards in the core area of the imperial capital, residences appropriate to their station, already prepared. They withdrew with the quiet reverence of people who had been remade and were still orienting themselves to the fact.
…
Another day, another recruitment. As usual, he went to the seven Angel Reincarnation Pools, and recruited seven thousand adult Angels, feeding Divine Crystals to clear the timers as well. It took just under three thousand Divine Crystals in total across all seven pools, a trivial amount against his reserves.
Seven thousand light spheres filled the sky above the plaza and when they broke, the count came back: roughly eight hundred True God Tier Angels, the rest Demigod Tier Four-Winged and Two-Winged.
'One day, every Angel born from the Angel Reincarnation Pool would be a God Tier Angel.' He thought, watching the newborn Angels orient themselves in the morning light over the Imperial Capital, 'This will probably rival the Illusory Angel Realm itself.'
It wouldn't happen today, but the distance was closing, and it was closing fast.
The seven thousand Angels gathered in front of him, led by a Fourteen-Winged Ophanim. Their distribution was as follows:
Two-Winged Angels: About 2,000
Multi-Winged Angels: About 5,000
God Tier Angels: About 800
Special Angels: Over 500
In total, there were over 500 Special Angels. Among them, the most numerous were Angels of Love and Guardian Angels, followed by Angels of Paradise, Angels of Peace, and several Zodiac God Angels. One of the Zodiac God Angels even had fourteen wings, at the early stage of High God Tier, which pushed his High God count another notch upward.
There were still no Angels of Creation. Fate or Death. He noted it without dwelling on it. Seven Level Nine Angel Reincarnation Pools recruiting daily meant the odds would eventually pay out.
He named the Ophanim Daisy and checked her status panel. Her strength was the same as her potential, at the early stage of High God Tier. The Ophanims were the highest ranked orthodox Angels outside the management tier, the natural commanders of the Angel Army. By now, the command structure of the Imperial Army's Angel division was set in structure with multiple Ophanims, Angels of Virtue and Angels of Principality.
Daisy's expression when he gave her a name was the kind of thing that reminded him why the naming system worked. In an empire of nearly 190,000 Angels, there were only a few ones who had been personally named by him. Every unnamed Angel knew this and trained accordingly.
He dismissed them to join the Imperial Army under Lysandra's command and moved on.
…
The Golden Beamon Palace was exceptionally generous today. Among the thousands of troops recruited across all four barracks, the Elven Mother Tree, Dragon Island, Holy Monastery, and the Golden Beamon Palace, the first three produced solid but unremarkable results.
The Golden Beamon Palace, on the other hand, produced five pure-blood Ancient Beamon and one golden titan, which was either luck or the Goddess of Fate making good on her investment.
The Pure-Blooded Ancient Beamons were visually close to modern Golden Beamons, about ninety percent similar, but taller. At initial level, each one stood nearly ten meters tall, comparable to Eveline's Fallen Angels. Their growth potential was at the early stage of Lower True God Tier, matching a Six-Winged Angel.
The Golden Titan, on the other hand, was something else. It was forty meters tall at initial level, which was Tier 3, already twice the height of the adult Forest Giants he'd encountered in the dark forest.
Equipped with a golden armor, twin thunder hammers, and skin the color of forged metal. Standing still, he could be mistaken for a very large statue. His growth potential was at the peak of Lower True God Tier, matching an Eight-Winged Angel!
