Location: Angel City, the Great Aetherium's Capital.
Stella stood behind Haru and reported respectfully, "My Lord, William has arrived with a peak High Goddess by his side."
Haru said in surprise, "Another Goddess?"
He noticed that he seemed to have encountered more female Goddesses in the Endless Continent male Gods and they were all extremely powerful existences. For Example, 'Goddess Medusa' Christine, Elven Goddess Elunara, Goddess of Fate Svetlana, Goddess of Light Pandora and so on.
The only strong male God he had heard about was the Supreme God of War, Wojciech, who had been captured alive by the Immortals of the Immortal Dimensional.
Haru asked, "Where are they now?"
Stella answered, "They stopped two thousand kilometers north of our capital and did not continue to approach."
Haru frowned. "What are they preparing?"
After all, he was still looking forward to getting the five billion Magic Crystals from William.
Stella thought for a moment and answered, "They must have sensed the aura of Her Holiness Celestia, so they didn't dare to approach, afraid of being seen as aggressors. They will probably approach after Her Holiness completes her advancement."
"Oh, they seem to be quite sensible." Haru's favorability towards William increased greatly. He also learned from Stella that this was a common etiquette among strong forces that boasted High God Tier existences. Once their strongest God or Goddess would seclude themselves to 'level up', the whole Kingdom would close off their borders for strong Gods.
Even if they wanted to trade something urgently, it could only be conducted outside the city during this period but once Celestia completes her advancement, she should be able to suppress William and that Goddess. Moreover, Haru also had four other High Gods in his kingdom.
"This Goddess should probably be one of the strongest gods of the Ice and Snow Kingdom. She might even be the Ice Queen." Haru wasn't sure. After all, why would the ruler of an empire level force personally visit his kingdom? Was the Ice Queen not afraid of death? If she died, her Divine Kingdom would probably collapse and the entire Ice and Snow Kingdom would be engulfed in chaos.
Anyways, Haru was not interested in killing her unless they attacked first. Instead, he waited quietly for Celestia's 'level up' to end as she had absorbed both Tigranov and Zylo's Godheads, refining them into more than ten million units of divine power, which was enough to help her reach the peak of High God Tier.
…
Timeskip to evening:
Celestia's Divine Aura grew stronger, causing all the citizens of the kingdom to kneel on the ground and start praying. At the same time, the Angels also began to pray, absorbing the Divine Power emanating from her Divine Aura.
Even the black balls of Fallen Angels that were floating in the air above the capital were absorbing this powerful Divine Power to increase their strength. Of course, this had no effect on Celestia because all of this excess Divine Power did not affect her advancement as she reached the peak of High God Tier.
"Celestia succeeded!" A bright smile appeared on Haru's face. Now, his butler had become a peak High Goddess. Together with her Supreme God Tier Artifact and the terrifying divine spells she had mastered, she was most likely able to contend against ordinary Supreme Gods.
A moment later, the Divine Aura suddenly disappeared and calmness returned to the entire capital. Soon after, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Haru, the Eighteen-Winged Seraphim, Celestia.
After this level up, Celestia seemed to have become even more beautiful and her entire body emitted a holy light, which made Haru's heart tremble. Speaking of which, he really couldn't resist the Angels' charm any longer. He didn't know if it was because his kingdom's strength was too strong and the sense of danger was not as great as before, but it caused him to give into his desires.
"Lord Almighty!" Celestia bowed respectfully to Haru. On her peerlessly beautiful face, there was no joy after her breakthrough, only reverence for Haru. Indeed, compared to her previous peak strength of half-step God King Tier, what did the current peak High God Tier even count for?
Haru, on the other hand, was in a rather good mood. When the other castle lords didn't even have a single Lower True God, he had a peak High Goddess. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
"Very good Celestia!" Haru nodded slightly and said, "Our client has already arrived. It's time to conduct the transaction. Bring them to the location."
"Yes, Lord Almighty!" Celestia respectfully bowed. Then her figure flickered and she disappeared, appearing not long after, with the grim-looking William and the slightly smiling Ice Queen Eira behind her.
