After some time, as Haru's orders were executed, the flames of war finally subsided. Hundreds of Angels of Love, Angels of Peace, and Angels of Paradise danced over the battlefield, pouring down a rain of holy light, covering the native creatures and troops on the battlefield outside the city.
This war was now officially over. The leaders of Dynasty Alliances were almost wiped out, and only those who saw through the situation early and surrendered in time survived. Some such leaders included the Fox Kingdom's Grand Elder, Fishmen Kingdom's Queen, etc.
In addition to them, some others like the Demon Kingdom's High Priest also tried to surrender but unfortunately, he was an undead. Therefore his and his subjects' surrender was not accepted. Their entire army was wiped out and the whole battlefield was constantly being purified by Holy Light to prevent the birth of new Undead.
By now, less than twenty percent of the one billion allied troops were left alive and they were being converted to become Haru's believers. That is to say, the Great Aetherium's army has gained the exp of over 800 million troops, but one has to remember that since many of the weaker troops died multiple times and got resurrected at their base level, it wasted a lot of that exp. Anyways, it was still a huge overall improvement to the Royal Army's strength.
At a glance, the area with a diameter of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, was densely filled with corpses everywhere and the smell of blood was so strong that it was almost suffocating, which not only irritated the Angels, but also suitable for the birth of Undead.
The valuable corpses among them were being transported to Angel City by the Royal Army while the worthless ones were piled up in mountains for the Angels to destroy with their Holy Flames.
"May the Lord's Holy Light shine eternally! Believe in the Lord and have eternal life!" About two hundred million troops shouted together on the battlefield. These were all the native intelligent creatures and Castle Lords' troops who were converted by the Angels of Love to become Haru's believers.
A large amount of power of faith emerged from them and converged towards the Altar of Faith in Angel City. Haru could use it anytime to refine it into his Divine Power. Moreover since these people were converted by Angels of Love, their faith level was far higher. All of them were at least 'Devout Believers', while a good amount even became 'Fanatics'.
(T/N: In case anyone forgot, here's the faith rankings from lower to higher:
Ordinary Believers
True Believers
Devout Believers
Fanatics
Saints)
Especially those from the Good, Light and Kind faction, as they had the highest compatibility with Angels and therefore they had the highest probability of becoming Fanatics. Haru also believed that all of them would soon become Fanatics with the influence of the various buildings in Angel City.
Anyway, in terms of improving the faith level of believers, Haru doesn't have to worry at all because out of his 267 million believers, the original ones were all fanatics, the new ones were also pretty high ranked and he had more than 30,000 Angels who were all Saint level believers.
This was a one-of-a-kind lineup. It can be said that the power of faith provided to him by them was equal to, or maybe even greater than, a billion believers of other Gods of Faith. Of course, just 200 million believers was an extremely small number for a High God. Even if this number increased tenfold, it would be too few.
Haru had heard from Christine that all Gods of Faith have occupied multiple planets with all living beings there becoming their believers. It should be noted that most of these planets were larger than Earth and had tens of billions of inhabitants. That's how those guys still had enough reserves of Divine Power even after leaving the Endless Continent for one hundred thousand years.
...
On the battlefield outside Angel City, the Great Aetherium's new citizens were helping the Royal Army to clean up the battlefield. At the same time, countless golden lights of promotion appeared on the battlefield.
Except for those Demigod Tier Angels at the Complete Body stage, all other troops from the Royal Army were leveling up. Haru used his Divine Senses to check and noticed that there were over three hundred thousand Saints in the Royal Army and over 6,000 peak Saints became Demigods.
The most exciting part was that thirty plus Demigods leveled up to become Gods and Goddesses including some of his earlier subordinates. From the Elves were the Elf Elders Elara, Lyra and Althea (the Elven Blacksmith). From the Angels were his 'day ones' Michael, Samael, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, etc.
These Angels were originally born as Two-Winged Angels and had almost zero hopes of stepping into the Lower True God Tier, but Haru told Celestia to reward them with Bloodline Evolution Blueprints since they have been serving him for the longest time now that Haru had no shortage of low-level blueprints.
In this war, to thank Haru for his magnanimity, these guys rushed to the frontlines and frantically killed the enemy Demigods, thus it was quite logical for them to level up.
