Haru swept his Divine Senses through the assembled Angels.
The breakdown was roughly as follows:
-30% Two-Winged Angels
-70% Multi-Winged and Special Angels
-Six-Winged Angels - 400,000
-Eight-Winged Angels - 300,000
-Ten and Twelve-Winged Angels - 160,000
-Fourteen and Sixteen-Winged Angels - 2,000
That last number was the one worth sitting with. Two thousand Angels with High God Tier growth potential. Even the Dimensional Demons would feel this number's pressure on the battlefield. The catch was obvious, right now, they were mere Holy Spirits, cannon fodder, reason enough to fight the Light Empire first.
Among the Special Angels, numbered in over 100,000, the Zodiac God Angels stood out. Before tonight, Haru had only a handful. Now he had over 300, enough to form several teams. In the recent decisive battlefield against the Evil Gods, his Zodiac God Angels had killed multiple Evil High Gods.
What wasn't there: were Angels of Creation, Fate, and Death. Not even a single new one, despite over a million Angels being recruited.
Haru frowned at that for a while, then gave up trying to reason it out. The GM would only tell him this recruitment was random and he already had Nova for 'Creation', Caelith for 'Fate', and Lilith for 'Death'. It was enough to keep the construction for Angel Reincarnation Pools running and the Fallen Angel pipeline open.
He had over fifty new Sixteen-Winged Angels and briefly considered naming them, then reconsidered. Fifty-plus names was a logistical problem, and they were all still Lower True Gods. If they made it to the Supreme God Tier, he'd name them then. Yes, he'd let them earn it first.
"Go." He told the assembled Angels, "Train hard. Reach your Complete Body state as fast as you can."
The million plus Angels bowed as one and dispersed into the capital.
…
Haru pulled up his information panel and noticed the changes:
_____________
[Castle Lord: Kazehaya Haru]
[Title: Divine Emperor of the Aetherium Empire]
[Territory: Intermediate Imperial Capital]
[Subordinate Divine Factions: Beast God Pantheon (1.18 Million+ Gods)]
[Rank: Peak Supreme God Tier]
[Strength: 80 Million points of Divine Power]
[Divine Power: 590 Million Points]
[Laws: 196 in total (Space, Power, Berserk, etc.)]
[Equipment: Scepter of Sovereignty, Armor of Sovereignty, Ring of the Eternal Sanctum, Moonlight Armor…]
[Power Stones: 170,060,000,000+]
[Magic Crystals: 2,350,000+]
[Divine Crystals: 48,000,000+]
_____________
His strength of 80 million points was standard for a peak Supreme God, unaugmented. With his natal artifact and 196 law sources factored in, that number climbed toward 200 million, which put him in Pseudo God Monarch territory by raw output. Still, it wasn't the same thing as an actual Pseudo God Monarch would fight with a God Monarch Tier Law and Haru didn't have that yet.
But suppressing him wouldn't be easy either. Nearly 200 law sources operating in combination wasn't something a standard peak Supreme God could replicate.
Next were his reserves of Divine Crystals, above 48 million in total. The Armor was currently an intermediate-level Supreme God Tier Artifact. Upgrading it to high-level required 50 million Divine Crystals. He was close, close enough that converting his Power Stones and Magic Crystals would push him over the line.
But that would drain his reserves, and the daily recruitment of adult Angels wasn't free. It was better to wait, sell the divine corpses and surplus artifacts from the battle, then upgrade the armor from a position of surplus rather than empty pockets.
He also noticed a new column on the panel: [Subordinate Divine Factions]. The Beast God Pantheon's entry into his roster, with over 1.18 million Gods now under his banner. He was looking forward to filling it with all factions from the Endless Continent.
…
The blood moon was setting, with the sunrise coming.
With thirteen thousand adult Angels to recruit with the new day, he was a little excited about what two God Level Angel Reincarnation Pools would give him.
And the Throneveil Shrine was falling. When it landed on the Endless Continent, its Divine Power would crack the Endless Continent's wall. The Burning Legion would come through the Blood Moon's Demon Nests and a massive Divine War would begin. There wasn't much runway left.
Haru opened the World Chat Channel and wrote a post that left the whole Castle Faction stunned.
_____________
What did Haru post that shocked the entire faction?
