After arriving at the 'barracks area', Haru turned to Celestia, who was following behind him, and asked, "About the barrier you placed, how strong of an attack can it withstand?"
He only knew that Celestia had erected a grand Divine barrier last night, covering the entire imperial capital, sealing both sky and ground with no weaknesses. Anyone who wanted to enter his imperial capital would first have to destroy this barrier.
Since Haru planned to take all of his God Tier subordinates and the majority of his Imperial Army, this shield was absolutely necessary. The forces staying behind in the imperial capital would be the weaker members of the Imperial Army and the civilians. Without the barrier, even a weak Lower True God would be able to destroy his Imperial Heart.
In response to Haru's question, Celestia answered, "My Lord, the barrier has been perfectly arranged. I used my own Supreme God Tier Laws and Divine Power into it. Its defense is enough to withstand a full‑power attack from someone like Micteya, the Goddess of Death."
Micteya was a newly promoted Supreme Goddess, and her strength needed no explanation. Even the Ice Queen Eira, who could barely rival her by relying on her Lord Type Artifact, knew that a shield that could withstand her full power was terrifyingly strong.
"What about Malakar?" Haru asked.
His concern was not Micteya but the ancient Supreme Gods Malakar and Skarion, who ruled the Evil Pantheon.
Celestia replied, "Even with them, it would take at least an hour to destroy the barrier. Even if both of them attack together, they will need at least twenty minutes to break it."
"That's enough." Haru said, nodding, "If those two really come, twenty minutes will be more than enough for us to return from that planet. Besides, the Beast Gods and the Nature Pantheon should be enough of a deterrent to keep them away."
With this, his heart finally settled. He could now take his elites to the Demon Slayer Tournament with peace of mind.
'I wonder what the unique special reward for first place in this Demon Slayer Tournament would be this time.' He thought.
Every Castle Lord agreed that the GM's rewards were always top‑tier, and Haru shared their opinion. After all, he has already obtained massively useful rewards like the attribute‑less Godhead, Astral City, and the two Lord Type Growth Artifacts.
That's why he looked forward to this event's unique, special reward. As for whether he could get first place or not, that wasn't even a concern for him.
Although some top-level Castle Lords could still compete with him back during the Beast Tide event, there were barely a few Castle Lords who were at the early stage of Lower True God Tier now. At the same time, he was a peak High God.
Even all Castle Lords combined weren't a match for him alone, not to mention that he had hundreds of God Tier subordinates and millions of mortals from the Imperial Army. There was no way anyone could get more points than him. In other words, even before the event began, he had already locked in first place on the leaderboard.
…
Soon, Haru approached the Angel Reincarnation Pools which, after one night, had fully recovered their energy, and the dozen or so God Tier Angels who fell during yesterday's Divine Battle had already been resurrected with no loss of strength.
That was the special power of a unique grade barracks. As long as the Angel Hearts were not destroyed and an Angel Reincarnation Pool existed, his Angels were almost impossible to permanently kill.
[Energy Abundant. Start the birth of Angel 'Holy Spirits'?]
[Yes] [No]
"No."
[Energy Abundant. Start the birth of adult Angels?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes."
The Angel Reincarnation Pool, more than a thousand meters in diameter, suddenly burst into dazzling white light. Within the radiance, countless miniature Angels fluttered in the glow, singing melodious hymns that seemed able to cleanse the soul.
Haru was long used to such scenes and did not pay much attention to the spectacle itself. Instead, he only checked the recruitment time.
[Time left till the birth of adult Angels: 49 Days, 7 hours, and 59 minutes.]
"It's almost fifty days." he calculated, "Although not too much, it's still pretty good."
With this recruitment time, this pool should be able to produce at least one Fourteen‑Winged Angel, meaning there would be at least one High God born today.
"So the total number of Divine Crystals needed is… 592 Divine Crystals."
Thinking this through, he did not hesitate and immediately poured the required number of Divine Crystals into the Angel Reincarnation Pool, which would've pained most Gods of Faith, but it was a trivial matter for the current Haru. As long as he could recruit adult Angels, even thousands or tens of thousands of Divine Crystals would be worth it for him.
