Change of POV: 3rd POV

3:11 PM

Alex finished her classes for today, it's fourth day since her 'reincarnation' into DXD. and everyone but 'Michael' didn't notice.

Which is good, but anyway back to the topic at hand.

"Show me [Holy-System], i'm curious. You said my control almost reached High-Class being level after all." She voiced her request before threw her bag towards the desk before jumping on her bed to relax after hard school day. 

'Even Gods need rest from school after all.'

Screen appeared in front of her face, the usual yellow-golden one that's transparent.

[Affirmative.]

Before it shifted once more, this time showing a 'collection' of options to click?

[ [Holy-System] ]

-[Angel-Race]

-[Human-Race]

-[Miracles]

-[Blessings]

-[Holy-Artifacts]

-[Holy-Energy Accumulated: 121,234,219,131,999]

"Interesting, so are these like options I can click on and edit?" Alex though out loud, but [God's System] answered.

Another window appeared beside [Holy-System] one.

[Indeed, just as [User] said, you have power to not only improve standing of Human Race with blessings and Miracles but also to either improve restriction opposed on Angel Race, it's all up to you [User], you are the Ruler of Heaven here.]

Alex nodded, she understands but her attention moved to [Holy-Energy Accumulated] that's numbering in trillions.

'Pray tell me what is this Holy-Energy? And it's ridiculous amount?' She couldn't asking, this reminds her of those RTS games she played before.

Screen shifted.

[ [Holy-Energy] is energy accumulated by prayers of Mankind towards 'God of the Bible', the numbers [User] see are current numbers, if [User] were to refresh the screen, numbers would change.]

Then screen shifted once more.

[Michael barely has any Authority in the [Holy-System] and he has been using it to send Miracles to Humanity, from 'miracle children' from people suddenly becoming healthy, it all comes down to 'Miracle' option from [Holy-System]. Michael only has minimal authority over [Blessings], [Miracles] and [Holy-Artifacts].]

Screen shifted once again, as Alex continued reading.

[The more 'miracles' that might happen, the more people 'will hear of them' = More people will pray, in modern era people are starting to forget about the influence of 'God of the Bible' and thus in the last 100 years or so, [Holy-Energy] stopped accumulating as it did in the past. Though, it would be advisable to [User] to send Miracles in Europe Continent first.]

 "I see, then what about [Holy-Artifacts]? From name I suppose that 'those are holy objects made by alchemy or something'?" She questioned.

Screen shifted once again.

[Indeed, [Holy-Artifacts] are weapons, or to be precise scraps of steel and metal engraved with Holy-Element, making them efficient against Devil and Evil creatures, do mind. Weapons made from [Holy-Artifacts] can be comparable to Excalibur Fragments if created successfully and enough [Holy-Energy] used. Though, before Great War and during it 'God of the Bible' mass produced Holy-Weapons for Church, most of them ended up broken as time passed or got scraped and new Holy-Weapons are forged by the use of Alchemy.] 

'And how do blessings work? I suppose they are connected with blessing like stronger body, ability to naturally wield Holy-Swords or something similar?'

Screen shifted.

[Indeed, but it's not limited to physical condition of Human Race, blessing Humans can also give them impressive talents for : Intelligence, Magic, Sacred Gears, extreme health, imagination, personality traits.]

Screen shfited.

[Anything an all that could be 'considered blessing' can be given or blessed to Mankind.]

Screen finished before closing it's last window.

Leaving Alex in deep thought.

This was something, she didn't expect for [Holy-System] to be so versatile.

No wonder.

But it also begs her next question on her future, 'Auto-Pilot' wanted to finish Kuoh High-School, enroll into Kuoh University and then into Fax to become a doctor or lawyer.

But it begs the question, what should Alex go for?

In her past life, she did not have resources for college, university or any type of higher education than High school, she was just that one random orphan kid you can find anywhere.

But here, she has options.

And could she abandon everything and become a Ruler of Millions of Angels with mentality of a 18 year old? With zero knowledge outside of High School? And leaving that same high school student to lead a realm of Angels?

No, no one in their right mind would have allowed something. And what's worse, Alex is not comparable to Prince or any royalty, she does not have higher education, etiquette or anything that could 'scream' royalty beside her incredible power she does not have correct grasp on.

It's one thing reading a story where nobody becomes a leader of a kingdom when he has no knowledge of even taking proper care of his dog.

And it's another for actually being in that position.

At best case scenario, Alex 'could' a machine for creating Angels and 'figurehead' and have no actual leadership skills.

And to get skills regarding that matter, it would take years. Years she can only acquire with higher education. And proper tutelage of course.

So with that in mind, Alex sighed before standing up from her bed and sitting on it.

She will first train herself, understand her abilities, understand what she could do with it and then she will contact Heaven.

But first of all, she needs to protect herself. 

And for that she needs to learn more, after she is at least capable of 'Ultimate-Class being' control, then she will take any action. Before that she won't even think of Heaven.

She certainly doesn't believe that she would be capable of leading Heaven herself on first day, but she doesn't trust them either.

Alex proceeded to tap her index finger on [Miracles] function on [Holy-Sytem]

And map appeared.

Map showing all continents of the world: Europe, Asia,Africa, Oceania, South America, North America and of course our fan favorite Antarctica.

Each continent has 'red button' that's engraved 'Miracle' on it.

~Tap~

Curiosity won, Alex tapped on 'Miracle' Button in Europe. And notification appeared in appearance of a small 'screen' beside one with 'Miracle-Map'.

[Miracle sent to Europe]

[Cost: 1,000 Holy-Energy]

Alex frowned.

"Wait, so all I need to do is click on 'Buttons' and miracles shall be sent to contents?" 

Screen appeared.

[Affirmative, [User]. Though, Michael was only able to send frozen number of 1,000 Miracles in a day, if you want I can send Miracles instead of you, just say a number of how many you want me to send?]

Alex rubbed her temples in though, this does sound interesting. A Miracles is worthy 1,000 Holy Energy Points, and [Holy-System] has accumulated over 100+ Trillions. 

And if she can 'return' hope that people will still pray to 'God of the Bible' Holy-Energy points would increase enormously.

"Okay, send 1,000 Miracles in Europe first." She requested. No, it wasn't a request but an order.

Another screen appeared.

[1,000 Miracles sent to Europe]

[Cost: 1,000,000 Holy-Energy]

She thought for a moment.

"You know what, send 1,000 Miracles to every single continent with exception of Antarctica, it's not like many live there." She hastily added, and then another screen appeared.

[5,000 Miracles sent to: Asia, Africa, Oceania. North America, South America]

[Cost: 5,000,000 Holy-Energy]

Unbeknownst to Alex, all Miracles are respectfully sent towards believers first, and then friends of believer and then last towards people who truly needed them.

'Show me [Sacred-Gear System], I'll check Angel-Race some other time, I don't want to touch their setting yet.' Alex requested, thus immediately closing all screens before another appeared, replacing previous ones.

The screen of current one is vastly different to previous ones.

[God's System] had 'golden-yellow' yet transparent screen. Representing 'Heavenly' colors maybe?

[Holy-System] had white colored screen with black words. Still some-what representing 'heaven'?

While [Sacred-Gear System] is blue, deep blue colored with black words. But blue, what could blue represent?

Anyway.

[ [Sacred-Gear System] ]

-[Sacred-Gear Rules]

-[Add Sacred-Gear]

-[Sacred-Gear Database]

-[Banned Sacred-Gears]

-[Sacred-Gear Evolution]

"Oh, what is this, can you explain every single one of them?"

Screen shifted before iconic 'Golden-yellow' screen of [God's System] appeared.

[ [Sacred-Gear Rules] are just what name of the function says, rules~. [User] can change rules, and rules are for example: [Only Humans and Half-Humans can be born with Sacred Gear], [Sacred Gears may evolve on their own]. Unfortunately as only these two Rules existed, that's the reason why 'Devil's reincarnation bypassed System's rules and why was Balance Breaker eventually created by 'Sacred Gears ' evolving.]

This actually sent off several red-flags to Alex, she will add her own rules right away now. Even though she is not 'officially' a Ruler of Heaven nor 'Master of Mankind' she will fix this with easily.

"Allow me to add one rule will you?"

Screen shifted, before another one replaced it.

[ [Sacred-Gear Rules] ]

-[Only Humans and Half-Humans can be born with Sacred Gear]

-[Sacred Gears may evolve on their own]

But beside these two rules, a keyboard appeared below the screen.

Alex did not hesitate and immediately typed two rules. She nodded with satisfaction.

[ [Sacred-Gear Rules] ]

-[Only Humans and Half-Humans can be born with Sacred Gear]

-[Sacred Gears may evolve on their own]

-[Upon any extraction of any Sacred Gear, the Sacred Gear in question will return back into System[

-[Upon any race change, from Human or Half-Human into something else, their Sacred Gear shall return back into System]

Screen shifted before [God's System] replied.

[Nice, with this Devil or any other race that changes Humanity into their own will not be able to get anymore Sacred Gears, nor anyone would be able to steal a Sacred Gear, meaning that very rarely anyone would be capable of copying 'God of the Bible's work'.]

Alex nodded, this was fine addition before she replied. " Though go on, explain other 'functions'."

[Affirmative. [Add Sacred-Gear] is self-explanatory, when [User] creates 'anything' remotely similar to a weapon it can be added into [Sacred Gear] System and will be sorted into cycle for future Human birth rate.]

Alex nodded, it's sufficient. After all, Blade Blacksmith is basically scraps of metal with Holy-Energy, she is pretty sure once she knows her abilities very well that she would go into 'builder' mode and for sure try to create copies of powerful Noble Phantasms from Fate for example.

[ [Sacred-Gear Database] hold informations on EVERY SINGLE Sacred-Gear created by 'God of the Bible' + their abilities, their wielders and improvements over type.]

I see, I nodded a powerful informational tool.

[ And [Banned Sacred-Gears] are unfinished 'projects' by 'God of the Bible'. Many of these Sacred-Gears in question have either 'Evil-Aura' or entities sealed inside them, the reason they were 'banned instead of fixed' correctly was due to 'God of the Bible' forgetting about their existence over time and having to exert most of his attention to war efforts. Even he gets tired from creating Sacred Gears, He created millions of them! For his sake!]

Alex giggled before she paused.

Did she just giggle?

Screen shifted. 

[And [Sacred-Gear Evolution] shows the data of specific Sacred Gears and how 'much evolve' they did. From Balance Breakers to even, 'stronger than supposed to be' Gears. From most 'useless' data recorded.]

Alex nodded, but most of her attention is back to her 'giggle'.

Why did she giggle? It doesn't seem like her, like she would do it..

Why? Did she undergo some type of mental change too?
