<(Atem POV)>

The Queen's evolution process didn't really take as long as I originally thought. In fact, even though the Queen and I both felt like we had been frozen in our position for more than half an hour, the truth was that we were like that for barely just a minute before a golden flash of light emanated from her body which was too bright for even my Rinnegan to see. Normally, I could individually select whatever powers and abilities I wanted to pass on to my new pantheon members, but this time I had explicitly decided not to choose anything myself since I wanted the system to take its own natural course and determine what would be the best 'evolution' for an angel like her.

"I... I have changed. This new body and power of mine feels so foreign, yet so... exhilarating. No, not just my body, I think I can feel something a lot deeper as well... My spirit maybe? I am currently experiencing all my feelings and emotions much more intensely than normal... is this... Did I just regain my soul? You were able to cure my angel soul curse?" she asked as the glow finally slowly subsided, revealing her new gorgeous appearance to the world.

Her appearance had not altered significantly. She still looked mostly the same as before the transformation with a few exceptions like the fact that she now possessed a certain radiance about her, and her features somehow appeared more defined. An aura of purity and sanctity also enveloped her as if she were emanating confidence and bravery, while her hair had shifted its color from a rusty brown shade to a luminous gold. However, the two most notable alterations in her visage were wings, which had not just transformed from a plain white to a bright gold in color with a unique celestial glow but also multiplied to being 6 pairs of wings from just its previous one. On top of it, her entire look of pure angelic essence was only complemented by the addition of a bright glowing halo that was now proudly floating just above her crown.

"Creating miracles and smiting my enemies, those are the things I can do very well." I boasted, accepting her compliment. "Now, what do I call you? The Queen of Angels seems just a little too formal of a title to address you as?" I questioned while raising one of my eyebrows.

"When I ascended to the throne as the Queen of the angels, I had to give up my name as per the ancient customs. That name no longer belongs to me and taking it back again will be an insult to the angel customs. But now that you are the... supreme authority of Heven, a level even above my own position, you can bestow upon me any new name of my choosing. I will gladly accept it without question." She kneeled in front of me while bowing her head, her golden radiance not diminishing even the slightest bit.

One thing was certain now, her loyalty towards me could no longer be called into question anymore because, besides the fact that she was literally bound by the magical blood oath to be loyal to me and that my pantheon creation ability had the power to stop people from betraying me, the Queen of Angels had seen too much of my strength to not take me seriously. By now, she should have already realized that I was the only chance she had to bring the angels and Heven back to their past glory.
