"Hm. I can still sense the [System - Heavenly Realm Version]."
Hiro confirmed it calmly.
It was still there. Completely intact.
The authority to create angels.
The ability to absorb faith.
Believer management.
System maintenance.
None of it had disappeared.
That meant the [System - Heavenly Realm Version] had not been cut off from him.
"It's probably because the 'Simulated Creation of a Star-Map-Void Star Tai Sui' was already inside me."
That explanation felt right.
Of course, with the current number of believers being zero-no, technically one, since Jeanne had been recruited yesterday-most of the system's functions were effectively useless.
One believer meant nothing.
A single Jeanne, no matter how sincere or devout her faith was, simply wasn't worth Hiro's attention.
A chess piece.
Or rather, a subordinate.
Either way, she would never occupy the same place in his heart as people like Asia, Rias, or Suguha.
That distinction was clear to him.
Inside the [Void Star Tai Sui], an internal space vast enough to be described as a universe, only one celestial body existed.
A sun.
And one planet.
The planet had been completely "painted" black by Athena, leaving no trace of its original appearance.
At this moment, in the distant cosmic void-who knew how far from Athena-a light cluster only a few meters in diameter suddenly appeared.
This light cluster was the [System - Heavenly Realm Version] that Hiro had just placed inside.
While his consciousness remained immersed there, reality continued to move.
Grayfia's substitute approached the bedside with graceful steps.
After a small, precise bow, she spoke without opening her mouth, transmitting her voice directly in Grayfia's tone.
"Hiro-sama, breakfast is ready. Would you like Grayfia to bring it to your room?"
"No need," Hiro replied calmly. "I'll go down myself in a little while."
"Yes."
The substitute did not linger.
She turned, walked toward the opposite wall, and vanished into it within seconds, likely heading off to clean the next room.
The efficiency was flawless.
The elegance was impeccable.
The reputation of the perfect Head Maid was not exaggerated.
Hiro glanced twice at the spot where she had disappeared.
Then he leaned back again, closed his eyes, and redirected his focus inward.
His attention returned to the [Void Star Tai Sui].
His consciousness brushed against the hazy light cluster floating in the cosmic darkness.
Immediately, familiar options surfaced in his mind.
Believer Management.
Faith Collection.
Prayer Feedback.
Desire Management.
He ignored all of them.
What he wanted was something else.
The "Angel Manufacturing" column.
He entered the detailed operation interface smoothly, without encountering any resistance.
As information flooded his mind, Hiro paused.
Then he couldn't help but complain.
"Winged or unwinged. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, black, white, multicolored wings. Male, female, genderless, bisexual. Tall, slender, weak, robust. Irritable, gentle, meticulous, lazy, kind, neutral, indifferent... and even an 'Other' option."
He paused.
"...What is this. Everything can be customized?"
It was excessive.
Recalling that both angels and fallen angels had originally been born with snow-white wings, Hiro honestly didn't know what to think of the God of the Bible's aesthetic preferences.
With so many choices available, why insist on white?
He couldn't understand it.
Among all the wing options, only one was excluded.
"Jet Black Wings."
That option was not listed under angel creation.
Instead, it was placed under a separate category.
"Fallen Creation."
It was also worth noting that while the [System - Heavenly Realm Version] included manufacturing methods for angels and fallen angels, there was no option for devils.
The reason remained unclear.
"Since it can even make fallen angels..."
Hiro thought for a moment.
"I'll start with one angel and one fallen angel. Just to get familiar with the process."
He made another decision.
"I'll set both to genderless."
Once that was decided, his thoughts sank deeper.
He began setting parameters.
Appearance.
Physique.
Personality.
Wisdom.
Every step was clear. Mechanical. Explicit.
Time passed.
Several hours went by in the outside world.
Grayfia had already seen Rias and the others off.
Once the mansion quieted down, she returned to Hiro's room and stopped by the bedside.
She watched her master's sleeping face.
Silently.
Without saying a word.
She waited.
To create two beings whose strength was still inferior to Sirzechs, Hiro had consumed nearly ten times Sirzechs' amount of demonic power.
If not for the pseudo-perpetual motion mechanism he had gained after [Soul Materialization], he would have been completely drained.
Just creating the two of them would have emptied him.
And of all the magic power consumed, the overwhelming majority went into forming their souls and physical bodies.
The demonic power used to actually "fill" them was comparatively trivial.
Less than two Sirzechs' worth.
There existed an alternative manufacturing method.
One that used belief power instead of demonic power.
It was even more efficient.
But for someone with exactly one believer, it was nothing more than a theoretical option.
One angel could provide the [System - Heavenly Realm Version] with faith.
One fallen angel could provide the opposite.
Desire.
However, neither of them had been activated yet.
As long as Hiro had not personally "started" them, they could not supply him with anything.
"Not bad."
Hiro evaluated the results.
"Not bad at all."
As first attempts, these two creations were clearly inferior to Sirzechs.
But they were far superior to Serafall.
That alone made the effort worthwhile.
"Next step is simple."
He thought calmly.
"I just need to instill basic knowledge into them."
Then came the logistics.
"One goes to the Heavenly Realm."
"And the other goes to..."
He paused.
"...Where do fallen angels live again?"
Hiro's mouth twitched.
He thought seriously for a moment.
No answer came.
After a few seconds, he gave up.
"I'll just have Grayfia throw them into the Underworld."
Sirzechs and Beelzebub could deal with the headache.
As for the idea that briefly crossed his mind-using his own angels to replace the God of the Bible's angels, taking over the management of the Heavenly Realm and all systems associated with the God of the Bible-
The so-called "Heavenly Realm Cuckolding Plan."
It appeared in his thoughts.
And vanished just as quickly.
The reason was simple.
Too troublesome.
Before leaving the [Void Star Tai Sui], however, there was one last experiment he needed to conduct.
And it required Athena.
With a thought, the [System - Heavenly Realm Version] moved.
In an instant, it crossed the vast internal universe and appeared directly in front of Athena.
Hiro transmitted his voice through the light cluster.
"Athena."
"The life creation you asked for."
"You can figure out the detailed steps yourself."
During the manufacturing process, Hiro had deliberately used demonic power.
He had also intentionally preserved the "demonic power" attribute in the two creations.
Athena could choose to remove the "curse power" attribute if she wanted.
If she did, her creation would gain the same "demonic power" attribute as Hiro's.
Everything else was up to her.
Appearance.
Inherent characteristics.
Immortality.
Species traits.
She could set almost anything.
Naturally, the more extreme the configuration, the greater the consumption.
If someone wanted to create a being capable of "shattering the universe," even draining Athena dry and spending hundreds-no, thousands-of years would not complete even one-thousandth of the process.
Hiro did not wait for Athena's reaction.
He withdrew his consciousness from the [Void Star Tai Sui].
His eyes opened.
"Grayfia," he said, sitting up.
He rubbed his forehead.
"What time is it?"
"Nine thirty-five AM."
The maid bowed slightly.
"Grayfia has already handled Hiro-sama's breakfast. You may enjoy it at any time."
"Handled?"
Hiro raised an eyebrow.
Certain inappropriate images flashed through his mind.
His gaze unconsciously dropped a little.
"Yes."
Grayfia's expression remained perfectly composed.
"I used Zafkiel's Seventh Bullet."
"The food will not cool down."
Her tone was meticulous.
As always.
