As the ritual finished, one by one, the newly awakened shipgirls stepped out of the glowing circles, each with a very different personality.
The first to appear looked somewhat similar to Akagi.
"Ahem, little sister, your growth has far exceeded my expectations. But remember, you must always stay humble, or else our Lord will be displeased," she said with a gentle smile. Then she knelt before Roland Phils with reverence. "Greetings, my Lord. Amagi has come to report. Please take care of me."
It was none other than Amagi, Akagi's elder sister.
[Name]: Amagi
[Type]: Azure Lane Shipgirl
[Faith]: Apostle
[Rank]: Demigod
[Talent]: Ship Equipment - Interstellar Battleship
[Weapons]: Railgun, Laser Cannon, Space Missiles, Pulse Particle Cannon, Land Boots
[Personality]: Frail beauty, gentle, strategist
Seeing her sister, Akagi's face lit up with joy. "Sister, I can't believe you're here too. This is wonderful. I missed you so much!" She hugged Amagi tightly.
"Hehe, you're still as proud as ever," Amagi teased, covering her mouth as she laughed.
"Alright, alright. Akagi was wrong. Lord has already scolded me. I won't dare again," Akagi said sheepishly.
"You really are the type who won't stop unless taught a lesson. Lord was right to discipline you," Amagi chuckled. Secretly, she thought her sister's timid side was just too cute.
"Amagi-sister is right, she definitely needs to be disciplined!" came another sharp voice from the next circle.
A woman in a white kimono with nine flowing tails stepped out, a cold look in her eyes. It was Kaga, Akagi's other sister.
"Kaga, your tongue is still as poisonous as ever. What, you want to fight me again?" Akagi glared.
"Please, I'm not as crude as you. I'm quite civilized. We don't fight among family." With that, Kaga knelt before Roland Phils. "My Lord, Kaga has come to report. From today on, I am yours. For your glory, I will do anything, even walk through fire and blades."
[Name]: Kaga
[Type]: Azure Lane Shipgirl
[Faith]: Apostle
[Rank]: Demigod
[Talent]: Ship Equipment - Interstellar Battleship
[Weapons]: Railgun, Space Missiles, Laser Cannon, Pulse Particle Cannon, Land Boots
[Personality]: Warlike, sharp but gentle
Akagi snorted. "As if you're the only one willing to give everything for our Lord. I'd gladly do anything for him too. Even if my sisters watch."
"....." Everyone else.
Amagi sighed helplessly. "Alright, alright. Stop it. You two can't even meet without bickering. Remember, you're still sisters."
"Hmph, Amagi is my sister, not her. Kaga is always against me. I don't want her."
"Fine, I don't want you either!"
Their constant squabbling made everyone else shake their heads.
Just then, a cheerful, lively voice rang out.
"Hehe, so lively here! I didn't expect to find so many of my kind. This is great. Please take care of me, everyone!"
"Lord, I'm Javelin. I'm so happy to meet you. Ehehe!"
A bright, energetic girl in a school uniform with thigh-high black stockings appeared, holding a long spear. She was none other than Javelin.
[Name]: Javelin
[Type]: Azure Lane Shipgirl
[Faith]: Apostle
[Rank]: Demigod
[Talent]: Ship Equipment - Interstellar Battleship
[Weapons]: Railgun, Space Missiles, Laser Cannon, Pulse Particle Cannon, Land Boots
[Personality]: Cheerful, gentle, kind, girlish, soft and considerate
The atmosphere instantly lightened.
Akagi tilted her head, eyeing her. "Where did this little one come from? She's awfully cute."
"Indeed, her smile is sweet," Kaga surprisingly agreed.
Akagi gave her a shocked look, then smiled. Kaga blushed and returned a small smile. Despite their quarreling, they were still from the same faction.
Amagi watched in surprise, then smiled warmly. She stepped forward, took Javelin's hand, and said, "Hello Javelin. I'm Amagi. From now on, we're sisters."
"Hehe, hello Amagi-sister!" Javelin beamed adorably.
At that moment, Laffey staggered over with a bottle of wine in hand, Nimf trailing behind.
"Haaah, so we're all lolis, but you show up as a demigod right away. So unfair. Oh, I'm Laffey, and this is Nimf. Come on, have a drink. You're part of our Five-Year Hugging Club now."
"Five-Year Hugging Club??" Javelin blinked in confusion.
The others laughed quietly, clearly knowing what Laffey meant.
"Zzz… you'll understand soon. It's a group that's both happy and miserable," Laffey muttered, downing another gulp.
"I'm Nimf. You can also call me Number Two," Nimf said.
"Number Two? Why?" Javelin tilted her head.
"I don't know. But every time Lord cuddles me, he mutters 'five years, five years.' So he calls me Number Two for convenience."
"Then who's Number One?"
"That would be me," Laffey raised her hand weakly.
"..." Javelin.
"So if I join you two, then…"
"Yes, you'll be Number Three," Laffey and Nimf said in unison.
Javelin was speechless.
Roland Phils couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. Clearly, Laffey and Nimf had deep grievances from not being promoted to Saints. He could understand though. Laffey had been the first shipgirl he created, so she should have been considered the elder. But because their ranks and roles were set differently, she could never take that position. On top of that, her strength lagged behind others. No wonder she felt resentful.
Seeing Javelin's demigod rank, Laffey silently swore to herself. Next time, she would find a way to win Lord's favor, even if she had to use… special means.
Roland Phils, empowered by the Mind Stone, easily read her thoughts. He sighed helplessly. If that day really came, then so be it.
Just then, the final shipgirl appeared.
"Hehe, so many people here. Are we gambling? Then the sexy dealer Monica can deal the cards!"
She wore a black bunny suit with stockings, holding a deck of cards, her smile playful and alluring. Even among the other beautiful shipgirls, she stood out.
[Name]: Monica
[Type]: Azure Lane Shipgirl
[Faith]: Apostle
[Rank]: Demigod
[Talent]: Ship Equipment - Interstellar Battleship
[Weapons]: Railgun, Space Missiles, Laser Cannon, Pulse Particle Cannon, Land Boots
[Personality]: Loves to gamble
Monica knelt before Roland Phils and said sweetly, "My Lord, I'm Monica, a dealer. I'm still in training, but I know all the games. How about a little bet with me?" She twirled her hair flirtatiously.
Roland Phils smiled faintly. He knew Monica well, one of the collaboration shipgirls from the Azure Lane world. "We'll have plenty of chances to gamble," he said softly, before shifting his attention to his divine attributes.

He now had 4590 divine power, still 5410 short of igniting his godfire. At his current pace, it would take six years. Too slow.
"I need more believers… and more Infinity Stones. The two outside this world are mine for the taking. First, the Orb of Power," he muttered.
Meanwhile, in the depths of space, under a dark sky, a massive purple-skinned figure sat on his throne. Before him, five figures stood in silence, not daring to breathe too loudly.
For this man was their king, Thanos.
And they were the Black Order.
