Deus: We are all Lords

Exploding under the power of some unknown force, the parts of the exploded Automation scattered in the air until Kingsley stopped them and they were gathered to form what looked more like a large rectangle. As soon as the parts were placed in order, blue light immediately burst forth from them connecting each part to the other until what looked like a portal was formed.

As soon as the portal opened, an automaton that looked similar to the previous one stepped out and following behind it were hundreds of such Automatons. the only difference being that they didn't give off the same aura of intimidation though it was clear that they were powerful. The Automaton army continued to march until the entire clearing was filled with them then kingsley destroyed the portal.

"Excellent and there are many of them, they would do just fine" Kingsley thought to himself as he pulled up his [Chat] Function to see those who had replied him.

[Hi, can i ask what the Golem can do and what rank it is]

[I accept]

[I have some fairies and one of them is of the light element]

[No, all the Moon Elves seem to have the skill… well all the females and any male that can wield magic]

[Yes, and if I trade one of them with you, what will i get]

Kingsley looked at the list of Lords who were all ready to trade their troops for the Golems or well Automatons and smiled, he couldn't say that he was actually duping them since the Automatons were powerful even if their abilities were reduced but this wasn't actually costing him anything at this point. They were trading creatures that they have invested resources in and he was giving them creatures he had literally just created.

[For your angels, I have an Automaton here, it's just like a golem but its stronger, smarter and is of the SSS-rank… as far as I can tell it should be powerful enough to face off against an ancient dragon] Kingsley replied Stephanie and immediately began exploring the chat space for a camera function.

The feature already functioned almost exactly the regular Online communication services back on Earth and even had a notification sound so Kingsley thought it would make sense if it also had a camera feature and unsurprisingly it did though it was hidden. Taking a quick picture of a stand-alone Automaton, he sent it to her as proof.

[Why are they dressed like some sort of Ninja Samurai or something, I thought you said they were like Golems, Golems are big and stupid] Stephanie replied

[Do you want it or not?] Kingsley asked after a soft sigh

[Sure, I'll send the Angel right away and you send me the Automaton, if it is not an SSS-rank creature as you said, I will expect a refund]

[Sure] Kingsley said as he pointed his hand towards the stand-alone automaton while tapping the holographic screen before him

Clicking on 'send item', the Automaton was suddenly covered in golden light that soon dragged it up into the sky as it vanished from sight. The system was really weird but who was he to judge, his own methods were also just as weird. A second later, Kingsley witness the sky open up as the same golden light came cascading down but this time, its passenger was different.

"F**K!!" Kingsley screamed in shock as soon as the golden lights died down

He was now face to face with a massive creature made entirely of wings and eyes. It was an angel alright but the Girl hadn't told him that it was a biblically accurate angel. The obscene creature stood in a spot examining him just as he examined it, Kingsley couldn't bear the looks it gave him since it felt like he was completely naked before it many eyes.

"Why would the system even make such an offensive thing" Kingsley asked himself before he took his eyes away from it

[Have you received it?... also why didn't you warn me about the angel's appearance]

[I didn't think that their appearance would trigger you much]

[Bullsh*t, I can feel the laughter radiating off the screen]

[that's so not true] Stephanie replied

Back in her territory though, the girl could be seen chuckling at Kingsley's reaction. How wouldn't she know that the Cherubim's appearance would unnerve anybody, the creatures in question had given her nightmares for days when she first arrived but she can now finally say that it was worth it to see another person suffer the same fate.

"It's fucking indestructible!!" She shouted as she pranced around the newly delivered Automaton like a young girl on Christmas

The design was sleek and looked more futuristic than what their current situation suggested which also meant that the lord [Kingsley] had created this troop entirely from scratch. Her expression showed that she was bothered by this fact but then again, she was happy to receive an SSS-rank creature.

Her Cherubim were all S-rank creatures so she couldn't say that she hadn't seen her share of powerful troops but this Automaton was two ranks higher than her Cherubim. It was painful to think that someone could create a troop that was two times stronger than your given troops but she would manage.

[Hey, can I exchange for more of these] She quickly contacted Kingsley after she was done examining the Automaton

[What?] Kingsley replied

[I want to create a team of these Automaton... I am about to summon another set of angels, can I trade you 9 of them for 9 Automatons like this]

[Sure, the more the merrier] Kingsley agreed without even thinking much as she immediately ran to her barracks

The Barracks for her was exactly as one would expect such a place to be, it was filled with various buildings, all meant for different purposes. She passed by all the tents until she was in front of what looked like a temple… well a small temple and entering said temple, she was faced with a very large pool of golden water.

She didn't know why things were like this but this is how the System had given it to her so this was how she had accepted and maintained it. Normally to summon creatures according to fiction, one would need a host of sacrifices and chant for minutes or even hours before they can summon the desired creature but here, things were different.

"Come forth!" Stephanie shouted for extra flair as the entire pool lit up and her Lord points immediately began to decrease rapidly

...

Lord Points: 5000/7000

...

"What?!" She shouted in shock and confusion

The Lord's points were points awarded to them if they killed an opponent and she had managed to stockpile 7000 of them because she had only used it to upgrade her castle and apart from that, she had done nothing else. She hadn't also summoned any other cherubim because the ones she had, had proven to be strong enough to handle the situation.

It should normally take a thousand to summon 10 Cherubim, now 2000 out of 7000 of those points had vanished for no apparent reason. It didn't make sense, looking up to the pool, Stephanie could see the standard cherubim rising from the water. The first came out and following it was another and another until all ten was out but it wasn't stopping.

"Does that mean, all my efforts were useless" Stephanie thought to herself

She hadn't summoned another set of Cherubim because the ones she had were powerful enough and had hoped to use the points she had gained to maybe upgrade her troop rank later or maybe even upgrade her castle well enough for it to turn into a fortress city but it seems like the system didn't care about any of those plans.

...

Congratulations, your cherubim have encountered a small opportunity and had experienced a minor mutation. you have received the S-rank Seraphim

...

A system message came and immediately her gloomy expression changed into a smile, she may not know the difference between the two creatures but she did know that for the Seraphim to come as a result of a mutation then it was surely stronger than a Cherubim.

Looking down to the pool, she saw a pair of wings rising from the pool and soon she saw a head and following that was a torso and another pair of wings. Seeing this, she immediately became excited, she was finally receiving the standard angels that were shown in media not the eldritch horror the Cherubim were.

"Yes!!" She screamed in joy
