Chapter 11 - The Creation of the Hierarchical System

After exchanging greetings,

Four Angels, each radiating a distinct aura, stood around Ventair.

Seraphiel, glowing with pure light, stood to his right.

Abyzaria, exuding dark beauty and authority, stood to his left.

Behind Seraphiel stood Mechaniel, silent as a flawless machine. Her eyes, resembling digital screens, glowed with analytical clarity, while her shimmering metallic-black hair gave the impression of a being both divine and mechanical.

Belloniel—the silent warrior—stood behind Abyzaria, clad in thick black steel armor that framed her powerful figure. Her blazing red hair was tied high, and her amber eyes, sharp as blades, revealed a will ever ready to strike for her master's ideals.

Ventair turned to gaze at his creations, a deep sense of fulfillment swelling in his heart. He had now gathered extraordinary beings—the first seeds of the great empire he had always dreamed of.

"My Angels,"

Ventair spoke, his voice echoing within the Soulspace. He swept his gaze across each of them, pausing at Seraphiel, then Abyzaria, Mechaniel, and finally Belloniel.

"I shall now establish a hierarchical system unique to the angelic race."

"So that we may easily govern when the number of angels grows."

"Do any of you object?"

The angels responded in unison: "No, Lord." ×4

Ventair nodded with satisfaction at their harmony.

"Very well. I will now outline a power hierarchy for all our Angels. A system that not only defines rank, but also ties each level to the development of wings—symbols of divine power and angelic essence."

These were ideas he had drawn from Earthly mythologies and the power systems of the Omniverse.

And after much time passed—revisions, adjustments, and feedback from the Angels—the system was finally complete.

He closed his eyes, pouring all his will into visualizing the system. In his mind, the tiers gradually took form, each level marking a new ascent in power and the number of wings.

A vision of an ordered, solid structure began to manifest.

When Ventair opened his eyes, he began shaping it in the Soulspace with streams of pure willpower, forming ancient symbols and intricate diagrams.

The four Angels watched intently, their eyes fixed on the emerging glyphs.

"This will be the foundation of all Angels within my realm," Ventair began explaining, each word resonating with the gravity of divine creation.

"Our system will be divided into four Main Stages, each marking a tremendous leap in strength and evolution."

"The lowest tier, the starting point for every Angel." Ventair gestured toward the first line of text that had appeared.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 1: Proto-Angels – Awakening Energy

1.Awakened Angel

Number of wings: No physical wings, only a pair of pure energy wings (light, darkness, fire, etc.) that appear temporarily during power usage. These are not considered complete "wings."

Power equivalent: Lower Deity

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This is the Stage most Angels will initially reach, where their physical wings begin to take form and evolve," Ventair continued. "Each rank corresponds to an increased number of wings, symbolizing power and maturity."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 2: Winged Angels (Main Military Rank) – Formation of True Wings

2.Minor Seraphic

Number of wings: 1 complete pair (2 wings) — the first physical wings formed.

Power equivalent: Mid-tier Deity

3.Intermediate Seraph

Number of wings: 2 pairs (4 wings)

Power equivalent: Higher Deity

4.Superior Seraph

Number of wings: 3 pairs (6 wings)

Power equivalent: Overlord-Deity

5.Commanding Angel

Number of wings: 4 pairs (8 wings)

Power equivalent: Omnipotent Deity

6.Immortal Angel

Number of wings: 5 pairs (10 wings)

Power equivalent: Proto-Existential Entity

7.Archangel

Number of wings: 6 pairs (12 wings)

Power equivalent: Lower Ultimate Celestial

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Next Stage belongs to Angels whose power transcends a single universe, capable of influencing multiple dimensions," Ventair explained.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 3: Multiversal Entities & Supreme Angels

8.Supreme Angel

Number of wings: 7 pairs (14 wings)

Power equivalent: Mid-tier Ultimate Celestial

9.Omniscient Angel

Number of wings: 8 pairs (16 wings)

Power equivalent: Higher Ultimate Celestial

10.Apex Angel

Number of wings: 9 pairs (18 wings)

Power equivalent: The Prime Origin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And the final Stage, where an Angel's power reaches the ultimate peak—on par with the Creators," Ventair emphasized.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stage 4: Absolute Omnipotence & Theocratic Angels

11.Cosmic Governor Angel

Number of wings: 10 pairs (20 wings)

Power equivalent: The Creator Absolute

12.Primordial Angel

Number of wings: 10 pairs (20 wings) + a Halo above the head

Power equivalent: The Omni-Potent

13.Theocratic Angel

Number of wings: 10 pairs (20 wings) + an Angelic Crown

Power equivalent: The Chosen One

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, Ventair raised his hand to the peak—pointing to the final lines..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.The One and Only – Supreme Heavenly Lord Ventair

Power equivalent: (Unknown)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the top of this system stood himself. He deliberately left the power level blank—for in the future, who knew what heights he might reach?

With the hierarchy now clearly and firmly established within the Soulspace, each level interlinked with the next, Ventair turned to his four Angels, who were intently committing every detail to memory.

"And thus," Ventair said, his voice slightly pensive, "the hierarchical system of the Angels is born."

"The lowest strength that primal energy can create begins at the Lower Deity tier—so I've chosen that as the baseline for the Awakened Angel, the lowest rank in our system."

"And of course, at the summit stands me, Ventair Kirizato—the Supreme Creator of the angelic race."

Seraphiel furrowed her brows slightly, looking at Ventair with concern.

"But, my Lord," she said gently, "according to this system... we, your Angels... we're currently only at the Awakened Angel stage—and not even at the peak strength of a Lower Deity, by your own definition."

She looked down at her faint energy wings, then glanced at Abyzaria, Mechaniel, and Belloniel—who were also beginning to feel the harsh truth.

Their radiance, though formidable, wasn't enough to form their first physical wings.

Abyzaria nodded in agreement, a crack of contemplation breaking through her cold facade."I can feel it too. We still have a long road ahead of us—to strengthen and form our true wings."

Mechaniel and Belloniel bowed their heads in silent acknowledgment. Though they said nothing, their eyes reflected the same understanding.

They were perfect creations in Ventair's design, but in terms of this newly defined system—they were still just "proto-angels" without sufficient power to match their titles.

Ventair looked at his creations. He understood their doubts. A soft sigh escaped him, tinged with resignation.

"It's true," he admitted, his gaze sweeping across them.

 "Even I—the one who created you—am only slightly stronger than you. We're all at the starting line, and the road ahead is long."

However, that moment of disappointment quickly vanished—replaced by a steely resolve and a blaze of determination in his eyes. Ventair clenched his fist and looked each Angel in the eye.

"But that doesn't mean we'll give up!" his voice rang out, clear and resolute.

"This is only the beginning. I will never stop striving to increase my power—and I will ascend alongside you, my first and most loyal Angels, to reach the peak of this system."

"And I hope that one day, all of you shall attain the rank of Theocratic Angel and stand beside me."

Seraphiel smiled brightly, her energy wings flaring with a warm light. She stepped forward, placing her hand on her chest in a solemn vow.

"We will always stand by your side, my Lord. Our strength is your strength."

Abyzaria stepped forward as well, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"I will never stop fighting and growing—to be worthy of your faith in me, my Lord."

Mechaniel and Belloniel also approached, eyes burning with determination. An invisible unity bound them and Ventair together in that moment.

Their goal now was clear: to strengthen themselves and ascend to the ranks their Lord had envisioned.

And so, with the hierarchy set, and a clear mission in their hearts, their journey to build a grand Angelic Empire had officially begun—step by step, no matter the trials ahead.
