Sustainable development was the only real way forward.
Even though Gabriel had brought quite a few angels with her, it still wasn't enough for Takumi. What he needed now was to build all the facilities that could turn people into angels—the Angel Reincarnation Pool and more. The angel race definitely had to thrive. With such a massive civilization under his control, it would be unacceptable if there were only a handful of angels.
Takumi absolutely would not allow that. More angels would be needed in the future.
And that wasn't all—Takumi was planning to bring other races into his world as well. If he could travel to other worlds, whether it was catgirls or doggirls, he wanted them all! That had been his plan from the start: to build a civilization by fusing countless other civilizations together. Now there were humans, and the angels had started to appear. In time, there would certainly be even more races.
Takumi made careful plans, copying Heaven and its system in perfect detail. When everything was finished, he returned to the villa.
By then, Gabriel and the other angels were chatting with each other. When Takumi returned and saw this, he immediately spoke up:
"Let's go. I'll take you over first so you can see if there's anything you want changed. And by the way, I'll get your IDs ready."
A smile appeared on Takumi's face. Anyone coming into his world needed to have an ID—otherwise, what kind of order would that be?
The angels were surprised.
"You've finished already?"
Hadn't Takumi just left a moment ago?
"Of course! It's just a one-to-one reproduction, after all. Maybe I missed some details, but you'll have to handle those yourselves."
With that, Takumi opened a spatial portal and stepped through. Gabriel hurried after him, as did Lilia and Ophis.
Passing through Takumi's portal, the group soon arrived at the newly created Heaven.
Seeing this familiar place, the angels' eyes lit up. They'd worried that living in another world might feel strange, but seeing the familiar buildings, all their worries vanished. Gabriel, in particular, was amazed.
"Mr. Takumi, you even replicated the system?"
She was stunned—she could sense the system's presence here.
"Of course! There's even the Angel Reincarnation Pool. From now on, just focus on your original duties: gather faith. It's not much use to me personally, but you never know when it might come in handy."
That was why Takumi set up Heaven's system: to collect faith. It might prove useful someday.
Gabriel's eyes lit up.
"Leave it to us!"
Collecting faith was what they did best.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Get settled in. Oh, right—here."
Takumi glanced at the assembled angels. He had all their names in mind. With a thought, he conjured up a stack of ID cards out of thin air, as well as some local devices. He even loaded some money into their accounts so they could buy whatever they needed.
"These are your identification cards and terminals. There's an AI inside that'll teach you how to use them. And there's some money in there too, so you can shop if you want."
The angels nodded. They understood perfectly.
"Thank you, Mr. Takumi! We know what to do."
Gabriel responded immediately, both grateful and curious. Today was their first time experiencing another world. She wondered what her people would become here. And in this world, there was no need to worry about falling into corruption.
Gabriel could sense that after arriving here, many things had become fixed—such as their race. An angel was always an angel; there was no such thing as a fallen angel. Not unless someone went out of their way to make it happen. Otherwise, corruption was impossible.
Gabriel was serious—this was real. So many new things were waiting to be explored in this world.
After explaining all this, Takumi turned to Lilia.
"Want to have a look around? This is a perfect one-to-one replica of Heaven from another world."
Lilia nodded immediately.
"I do!"
She was very curious and decided to stay and look around before going home.
Takumi nodded, then continued:
"Ophis, I'll leave things to you for now. I've got some things to handle. I'll be back later."
Takumi still had plenty to do—like turning the moon into a giant server, or dealing with all those evil god corpses in his imaginary space.
"Alright!"
Lilia had no problem with that. Even though she'd just met Ophis, she sensed Ophis would be easy to get along with. Lilia herself had changed a lot, too. In the past, the sight of Ophis or the angels would have made her see them as threats to be eliminated. But not anymore. Takumi's guidance had worked.
After a word of farewell, Takumi disappeared.
Back in his own world, Takumi headed straight for the moon. With the power of space, he arrived in the blink of an eye.
He scanned the moon's surface. When humans still existed in this world, they'd explored here—there were even some flags, remnants of their visits. There were also a few abandoned lunar rovers. As Takumi sensed everything on the moon, a wave of emotion washed through him.
The revival of spiritual energy can be both good and bad, depending on the world. But in this one, humanity couldn't handle the evolution. In the end, they lost to the magical beasts. All that's left is a bit of regret. When spiritual energy revived, the law of the jungle ruled absolutely—and this time, humanity lost.
