My military branches can Evolve Infinitely

Boom—

Mu Yuan threw out the palm-sized statue he held in his hand.

As the complete building spun in the air, it grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a full-fledged Miracle Building and landed with a crash.

"Notice: The 'Guardian Angel' Epic Building has been constructed."

The pure white statue, over ten meters tall, stood erect before the City Lord's Mansion.

Below the statue was a half-meter-tall square pedestal, around which rose four pillars two to three meters in height. There were also smaller columns equally spaced between the pillars, encircling the base like a fence.

Atop the pedestal stood the main body of the building.

A colossal angelic statue, spanning several meters in height.

This was a female Angel, clad in ornately patterned armor and a battle skirt, with the hem of her skirt falling to her battle boots.

Atop her head, she wore a circlet set with a central gemstone, her long hair lifting behind her.

Her hands were joined in front of her, gripping a great sword that was inverted, thrust into the base of the pedestal. The blade of the sword was inscribed with a row of mysterious runes, appearing quite extraordinary.

What caught the eye the most was the set of three huge pairs of wings unfurled behind her.

Even as the Guardian Angel remained in statue form, it exuded an indescribable sense of nobility and purity.

It was as if the very presence of this statue endowed the entire City Lord's Mansion with a sense of nobility.

Indeed...

It was pretty much the case.

The City Lord's Mansion was only a Superior building.

There weren't many Epic Buildings throughout Tianyuan City, and even though Mu Yuan found the 'Guardian Angel' somewhat underwhelming, it was among the top tier of defensive Epic Buildings.

If a common territory obtained such a Guardian Angel and managed it diligently, fostering it over years or decades, even if a Soul Realm or even a Law Realm invader were to come, the Lord could stand unafraid.

It was just that Tianyuan City was hardly ever in want of high-end combat power.

'Guardian Angel'

'Grade: Epic'

'Description: Created from the resolute obsessions of a mighty Angel who has fully perished and shaped under the Heaven and Earth Rules. The Guardian Angel, Lapis, possesses freshly awakened self-awareness, the heritage of a Six-Wing Angel, a soul-etched wealth of combat experience, and space for continued advancement.'

'Current Realm of Guardian Angel: Heaven and Earth Realm Peak (Tens of thousands meter level)'

'Ability ①: Guardian Angel, Lapis, has the primary skills & talents 'Group Resurrection,' 'Purification Holy Judgment,' 'Angel's Protection,'...'

'Ability ②: If the Guardian Angel, Lapis, were to fall, it can be rapidly resurrected on the building's pedestal at the cost of 1000 Soul Crystals. Resurrection time: 60 seconds. The resurrection ability has no limits on the number of times and no cooldown period.'

'Ability ③: While within the territory, the Guardian Angel, Lapis, has infinite energy, but additional Soul Crystals must be consumed or extracted from the energy-providing Miracle Buildings. The activity range of the Guardian Angel cannot exceed ten times the area of the territory.'

As expected.

Even Miracle Buildings must adhere to energy conservation.

The Guardian Angel is considered a 'building life form,' capable of drawing in energy from heaven and earth to sustain itself, but infinite energy cannot arise out of nothing.

"It seems even stronger than I imagined," Mu Yuan thought.

"The revival time is extremely short, the cost remarkably low, and the Guardian Angel is born a Tens of thousands meter level Peak Strongman, equipped with three major Epic Abilities. Her combat power almost makes her the strongest under Legendary Life in Tianyuan City."

"And the abilities are of considerable value."

'Group Resurrection: Cast on an area, can resurrect up to 36 fallen individuals (excluding the Undead and Dark Shadow life forms), with a cooldown time of one day.'

'Note: Cannot resurrect individuals of a higher grade than oneself; cannot resurrect individuals who have been dead for more than 12 hours.'

Indeed, it can't compare to Dead Bone's Undead Resurrection.

However, 'Undead Resurrection' is a rather abnormal ability; until now, Mu Yuan had acknowledged this fact.

'Bone Two,' 'Bone Three'—none of the Epic Skeletons among the twenty to thirty thousand Skeletons throughout Tianyuan City awakened a similar ability.

Angels, however, were different.

Even the Epic One-star Dual Wing Angels had a substantial chance of awakening the Divine Skill 'Single Revival.'

This was no secret in the Eternal World.

Revival artifacts were extremely rare, and the cost of revival was immense. Angels, on the other hand, could easily resurrect a fallen powerhouse. What Lord wouldn't want to possess an Angel?

But it was something sought after but not obtained.

Angels were the emblem of the Holy Griffon Empire.

The Holy Griffon Empire possessed the Sole Seventh-order Recruitment Building 'Angel Reincarnation Pool' in the entire Eternal World. Traditionally, only the imperial family and a very few generals who had greatly distinguished themselves in the empire were granted permission to approach the Angel Reincarnation Pool, imploring the favor of an Upper Realm Angel.

"Angels..."

Mu Yuan, of course, also harbored some yearning for such mythic creatures that could only be admired from afar.

However...

"The ability 'Group Resurrection' doesn't seem to offer much value to Tianyuan City, does it?"

"After all, the Guardian Angel cannot stray far from the territory."

He thought, looking at the towering angel statue before him, "Awaken, my Guardian Angel."

The pure white statue burst forth with golden light.

The entire body of the statue—or rather, the Guardian Angel—was wrapped in the shining golden light, and as this bright glow shone, the entire figure started to shrink rapidly, from several meters high to less than two meters.

When the golden light dissipated,

Standing before Mu Yuan was no longer a stone statue, but a golden-haired, silver-armored, white-winged female Angel.

She knelt on one knee.

"Master."

"I, Lapis, shall vow to guard the territory with my life."

Although Guardian Angel Lapis possessed self-consciousness and the ability to inherit powers, she still felt like a cold, lifeless puppet.

After all, she was a building life form.

She was life, yet also a building.
