The hundreds of thousands of Gods were so horrified because this black figure that was just burnt to ashes was a well-known Evil High God specializing in assassinations. Although he was a human, it was rumoured that his skills in that field were comparable to the Dark Elves.
"These creatures are really terrifying…"
"They're called 'Angels' and sure enough, their beauty is absolutely unparalleled. I'd even dare to say that even the Nature Pantheon's Goddesses are a little inferior to them!"
"Moreover their Divine Spells seem to be really overpowered."
On the other hand, after that Evil God's death, most Gods from the Evil Pantheon began casting murderous glares towards the Angels. After all, how could they bear the humiliation of a High God from their Pantheon not only failing an assassination attempt, but also dying in a single move?
Many of them were his acquaintances and a few were even his friends and they wanted revenge. Had there not been multiple peak High Goddesses among those Angels, they would've really swarmed Haru by claiming that the Angels killed their 'brother' first so the agreement between the Supreme Gods was void.
Moreover, if all the Evil Gods united, they could've tried to overwhelm the Angels but they were worried that if they attacked the Angels, then not to mention Gods from other Pantheons, even their own 'colleagues' from the Evil God Pantheon would attack them. At the same time, they could clearly see the Beast God Pantheon staring at them with open hostility.
"Jason was too impulsive, thinking he could take revenge for Zarek while that guy was constructing his Divine Kingdom. Not only did he fail, he even died…"
"Moreover, not only are there at least eight High God Tier Angels there, their individual strength is also nothing to scoff at."
"Hey, why does it look like those Beast Gods are on the Great Aetherium's side? Didn't more than a hundred of their Gods die at these Angels' hands?"
Not only the Evil Gods, other Gods of Truth and Faith were also communicating telepathically with their friends. Before today, most of them had heard about the Great Aetherium but they didn't know that they had so many High Gods and hundreds of other True Gods.
The most terrifying thing was that the Gods of Truth from the Elf Empire also learned through their Empress that the Great Aetherium also had an Angel at the Supreme God Tier, which caused several of them to almost fall from their thrones in shock.
Had this news not come from their Empress as a warning to not provoke the Angels lightly, they would've treated it like a joke, but now, they were seriously considering Her Majesty Aurelyss' proposal of cooperation with the Great Aetherium in the upcoming Divine War.
Among them, the most numerous were the Nature Elves. The others were from the races like Unicorns, Treants, Spirit Dragons, Fairy Dragons, Elemental Elves, Ancient Elves, etc. The Elf Empire was a very large and diverse faction formed of Elves and their hardcore allies. This alliance (except for the Phoenixes) has continued even in the Era of Truth.
They originally believed that even with just a single Supreme God Tier Angel, the Great Aetherium wasn't worthy of their cooperation, but this 'display' has really opened their eyes. Many of them even immediately decided to switch sides and agree to the Empress' proposal.
As time went by, the crowd of spectators kept increasing as more and more Gods appeared nearby, their numbers closing in on a million. All of them were attracted by the super large Divine Kingdom.
Throughout the various eras, Haru was probably the first God to create such a large Divine Kingdom. Even so, no matter how curious they were, the Gods still maintained at least ten million kms of distance between them and Haru, because of fear of being seen as an enemy by the Angels.
After all, High Gods weren't exactly 'common' on the Endless Continent and the scene of one getting killed with a single attack was still fresh in everyone's minds. Most of them were only Lower True Gods or Intermediate Gods anyways so they couldn't afford to mess with these Angels.

T/N - You wouldn't believe how much content I had to cut in order to make this chapter readable and I still feel like it's slow. The original content was three times the length of this chapter, mostly filled with stupid comments from the spectators.
Do comment if I need to cut more stuff but then I would need to use multiple raw chapters with the combined total of 5,000 words to create one chapter with 900-1,000 words, but I'm guessing that might become too fast paced for this story, which stands sharply in contrast with the original author's intentions to keep it very slow-paced.
