For the Record I was going to do this anyway.
And for those who think that this is too quick for advancement hate to say it, but its not. Irla is still kind of a weak combat force in the grand scheme of things, and needs to get stronger in-order to be use-full. (Although level 200 power spikes can change that....)
--------------------------------------------
As he stared at the ground soaring past extremely quickly below him, Lance looked at it as it flew by and wondered where they were heading.
Irla, as if to break his attention away from their traveling, spoke up, drawing his attention towards her.
Irla : "There are several non human threats within our immediate vicinity. The most dangerous of these is a tier 4 monstrosity, which would require a civilization level of tier four or higher to subjugate. It is recommended that you heed this advisory before attempting to rid yourself of this threat. This particular tier 4 monster is actually a newborn of its kind, and has the potential to grow, however they normally lie dormant and come out to feed before going back to its slumber. As such, this should be the least of your worries right now, as not only is it currently dormant and is several hours away by air, which is several months by land.
Other then this existence, there are a few other threats within an hours fly of here, the one which fits your purpose the most would be a monster den which is about to be below us now. These monsters are considered tier 1 monsters, but can be dangerous due to their large numbers. It is recommended to quell these monsters frequently due to their high reproduction rate, which easily surpasses your citizens. I have chosen this as our first destination, and we are arriving now..."
Irla said, as she descended towards the ground.
What appeared below them was a seemingly large settlement. It had several hundred buildings, resembling rudimentary mud huts in design. Some of these huts had Smoke billowing out of them, a sign that their occupants were currently eating their meals.
Compared to the humans which he had subjugated earlier that day, the creatures which he was seeing in between the buildings looked far more dangerous. They stood about seven feet tall, with horns on their head which appeared to be about ten centimeters long, twisting about in a curling fashion, like a ram's horns. They were red skinned, and incredibly burly with gnarled ugly faces. They appeared to be incredibly strong, as some of them were wrestling with each other, and it was creating large divots in the ground. If one watched this scene they might make the claim that this type of beast could rip a man's arm clean out of its socket.
Some of them appeared to be slightly less ugly then others and those particular ones had large bulging parts in the center of their chests. Lance guessed they were the women, but other then their breasts he couldn't tell much that separated them from the males.
In addition to being larger and bulkier then the humans, most of these beasts had weapons, ranging from bone swords to crude bows, some of the larger presumably more important ones even had bronze weapons. What was most dangerous about them however was their sheer number. Lance guessed that they easily numbered past five hundred, and possibly over a thousand.
Ilta descended straight into the heart of the encampment, bringing no attention towards herself as she descended.
Lance : "It's like they can't see us..."
Irla : "They cannot Unitox... Our divine aura keeps us separated from inferior beings in a different plane of existence. We are invisible from mortals nor may they injure us. Only other gods may injure us in this state. Similarly only our followers may see us, and head our words, as we can decide those whom may lay their eyes upon us. However, in order to attack I must reveal myself and descend to their plane of existence."
Lance : "Does killing these creatures give points? And if so, wouldn't it be better to just enslave them?"
Irla : "I am afraid they do not give points that way Unitox. Creatures such as these are not the same as those humans which you enslaved earlier. The civilizations which that rule applies to have certain base requirements. However, due to the immense difficulty of fighting something such as this and the danger it poses to your infant civilization, it will reward points. Even more so because you are a tier behind their base threat level."
Lance : "Will it be a problem for you? I mean, you said they are strong..."
Irla replied in an emotionless voice.
Irla : "They should not be a problem for me in small numbers, but in a quantity this large I may not be able to finish them all off easily..."
Lance : "Alright, well then lets get started..."
Irla : "As you wish Unitox..."
She drew her sword of light, and then she seemed to shimmer, as a barrier of air created itself around her. As this happened, one of the closest beasts snorted and then squealed a warning cry, bringing her to the attention of every other beast in the camp. They grabbed their weapons, even the women and what appeared to be children, and soon the entire camp was rushing to the point where the cry had originated from.
Irla had let this cry happen so that she could group her enemies, and now that the cry had done its job, she promptly cut off the annoying sound, stabbing her long-sword of light straight into the beasts gullet, silencing it forever.
In the blink of an eye, she had wrenched her sword from its neck, creating a black line of charred flesh as the sword of light was pulled out.
The sword seemed to glow with the light of thousands of stars, and gave off a blazing feeling as if those stars were trapped inside and were waiting to escape, all the while releasing their powerful fury towards the sword.
Its edge soon found itself passing through the chest of another beast, cutting through it like a starsword through beast carcass, which is even better then a hot knife through butter. The two halves of the body fell to the ground with a soft thud, the space where they were initially attached was now cauterized from the blazing heat of the sword.
Irla moved on to the next charging beast, slicing it with little to no effort once again, but her lack of combat experience left her back open, and a beast got a lucky hit off on her wing, cliping one of the feathers on its boarder.
Irla flinched as a line of crimson appeared on her pure white wings. The beast who inflicted the wound was dealt with instantly, becoming two more portions of roasted meat.
The beasts charged forward however, seemingly oblivious to the corpses of their fallen comrades. They surrounded her, hoping to whittle down her hitpoints until she was dead or mortally wounded. Irla, noticing this, stuck her sword in the ground, creating a light barrier around her which was ten meters wide and five meters tall. Inside of it were five beasts, separated from the group.
Irla : "Lightshield" At that, the barrier became a translucent membrane, which would not allow any other beasts inside of it.
The five beasts inside, not noticing the lack of reinforcements from behind, charged blindly at the slightly wounded winged girl.
Irla stood up, her sword still in the ground, from this position she put her two hands together, forming a massive greatsword, at least twice the size of her original sword. In an instant, she swung the sword, cutting three of the five attackers in half, once more searing their flesh, cauterizing their wounds. The other two seemed a bit more cautious now that she had a weapon. They backed off a bit, then spread out to encircle her.
She did not give them the chance however, as she dashed forward, catching one off guard and cutting it in half separating it into a right half and a left half, each identical to the other side.
The last beast, noticing it was alone, charged towards the barrier trying to flee, when it hit the barrier however, it was as if it had hit a stone wall, as it was stopped dead in its tracks. A moment later Irla's greatsword found a place in its belly, impaling it it then roasting it from the inside.
Irla glanced at the hundreds of beasts still outside of the barrier, not quite knowing how to take them all on at once.
Lance : "Irla, how many of those can you form?"
Irla : "Just two Unitox. This small one, and a large one. The large one will drain your power however, as it requires your divinity to form itself. Do I have permission to use it."
Lance nodded, and Irla shoved the greatsword into the ground. Instantly a far larger dome, one which encompassed the entire beast camp with no problem at all appeared.
Irla : "God's Relm"
The shimmering barrier partially solidified, creating a thin membrane which had a gelatinous look to it.
Your Alpha has opened up a realm with your divinity, due to her low magic level the aspects which you may give to it are limited, however frequent use of this skill shall boost her proficiency in using it vastly.

Lance glanced at this, wanting the extra effects, but alas he was unable to get them due to Irla's low level. He also felt a slight drain on his energy, like he ran up a flight of stairs ten minutes ago and was just about recovered, with only a slight disturbance in his breathing pattern.
Irla now had no weapon, as both of her swords, the longsword and the greatsword, were plunged into the ground creating barriers, due to this she stood there with no action to take.
Lance : "Irla, I have an idea"
Irla turned in the direction of her master, and then knelt down.
Irla : "Whatever you wish Unitox, I shall carry it out."
Lance : "Hold on a minute while I search for a weapon..."
Lance brought up his "Search Bar" to look for a weapon for Irla, and his first thoughts as a twenty first century man was towards a gun.
Lance : "Search, pistol"

Lance nearly fell over in shock at the prices which were in the billions. He assumed that there was no way at all that he would be getting one of those any time soon, so he simply gave up on that idea.
Lance : "I can't seem to get you a good weapon, are you sure you can't make anymore?"
Irla : "I can Unitox, however the drain of keeping up two barriers is rather large, I am afraid if I were to summon my spear and engage in combat I may take additional damage. If that is what you wish, you need only say it and I shall charge into the hordes with all of my might.
Lance : "No, dont do that, no need to take free damage. What about spells, do you have anything which can pierce the lightshield yet still deal damage?"
Irla : "Indeed I do Unitox. I posses several offensive magics which can pierce my lightshield."
Your Alpha wishes to use divine magic. This will drain your powers in exchange for far greater firepower then normal magic. A list of spells and their costs is listed below.

Lance : "Stay inside the shield and pick off enemies using your two offensive spells. Just grind them down. When you judge their number low enough, dissipate the shield and fight with your sword again."
Irla : "As you wish Unitox"
Lance and Irla spent the next hour or so shooting metaphorical fish in a barrel with magic spells. The beasts had realized what was happening after the first few shots and had vainly attempted to break the lightshield, but only succeeded in making themselves easier targets to hit.
During the first half of the slaughter Irla had remained completely untouched inside of the yellowish bubble of light, completely isolated with the squealing beasts outside, much to their frustration. They had charged and hacked at the barrier during most of it, but didn't even dent the translucent membrane, and their weapons just glanced off it like it was an unmovable wall.
After they realized that there was no way they were going to kill the mysterious angel of death while she was inside of this mysterious bubble, they ran away, only to discover that they were trapped by a far larger one.
They ran around like chickens without heads when they realized that their fate had been sealed, that was, until Irla had judged that she had thinned their number enough and shut down the shield herself so that she would be able to gain additional melee combat experience.
With only a few enemies around she withdrew her longsword from the ground, dissipating the lightshield. Instantly she charged forward towards the nearest enemies and proceeded to slice them apart with little to no effort.
The beasts, upon noticing that the invulnerable shield was no longer there, charged her and surrounded Irla once more, but they numbered only around two hundred now, and the scattered corpses of their fallen comrades made it far harder to fight then they had anticipated.
Irla dashed through them at speeds they couldn't respond to, slicing many in half with a single pass, and then proceeded to jump off a tree to do the same thing in a different direction.
Killing the remaining enemies took slightly longer then using magic despite their lower number. This was mainly because of the fatigue Irla had built up from the prolonged combat.
Soon however, she knelt once again before her Unitox, with light wounds here and there from where the beasts had gotten lucky hits off. Surrounding her almost a thousand corpses lay, some cut in half, others just ashes from the obliterating power of her light magic. She remained largely untouched by the bloodshed, having only slight traces of blood on her wings and arms.
Suddenly she started glowing with light, a rather strange phenomenon from Lance's point of view, but everything was explained with the next window.
Clearing out a dangerous camp of a higher tier gives you a modifier of times 10 for points gained. You have been successful in clearing out a Tier 2 monster camp as a tier 0 civilization, receiving a bonus modifier of 100 times. This bonus applies to evolution points and experience points gained from any tier 0 units used in the combat.
The base reward for clearing out a tier two camp is 100 points per monster, you have successfully killed 891 monsters, and have enough points to evolve your Alpha and buy another, or advance your civilization. What would you like to spend them on?

Lance was debating within himself. Does he choose the evolution, or the immediate stat bonus.
Then, he was struck by a thought. Why not stay tier one and let his civilization advance "naturally" while taking his fucking op angel of death to clear out all of the camps she can and make her like a starter pokemon. Something to fall back on if you are in danger of losing. Seeing her decimate the tier 2 beasts with ease and her new increased stats, as well as the modifiers convinced him.
Lance : "Search Goddesses"

Lance thought for a moment, before making his choice.
Lance : "I chose to evolve Irla"
1 Million points have been deducted
Lance : *Oh that hurts...* Lance winced as he watched his now massive net worth plummet by 11% but he knew, based off of what he just saw, that this was the correct option.
Irla's Evolution optionsAngel of DeathAngel of LightAngel of Neutrality+++ Combat Stats+++ Civilization Health+ all stats++ Combat Magic++ Healing Magic+ Civilization growth+ Offensive Spells+ Crop Growth+ Loyalty
A new table popped up, listing three options for evolution paths. Lance looked at the options, and after only thinking for a moment chose the "Angel of Death" option.
Irla let out a gasp, and started glowing even more brightly. A moment later she let out an agonizing yell, falling to her knees and grasping her chest. Her silvery hair and white wings faded to a shallow grey, while the blood stains on her wings died that certain part of her wings red, creating a grey and red goddess. Soon the transformation was done, and before Lance was a "new" Irla. Lance thought the white looked better on her and that she looked rather bland with the grey color instead of the white, but it did little to hide her beauty, which still was prevalent through the coloring.
He opened up her stat table, and instantly Lance was satisfied at his choice.

He read the bottom line, and spoke, this time with no hesitation.
Lance : "I chose to evolve Irla"
He grimaced again as 5 million more points were deducted from his pool and then another menu popped up infront of him.

He glanced at them, trying to decide which one he wanted. Magic, Melee or hybrid.
Melee people are vulnerable to cc and range, while ranged people are vulnerable to melee. It truly was a dilemma. In the end he chose Arch-Angel of Chaos because of the overpowering might of the magic which she showed earlier on in the fight.
Once again she started glowing, and crying out in pain, as a light shone from her. The grey darkened, creating pitch black wings with crimson patterns on them. Her silver hair was left untouched along with her pale white skin. At this point however, a black halo appeared above her head, signifying her advance.
He opened up her stat page and was once more astounded by the changes which had taken place.

She stood up, smiling this time. Her smile was gorgeous, and full of emotion
Irla : "Does my new state please you Unitox?"
Lance : "Indeed it does..."
Irla hugged him, bringing him into her embrace, then kissed him.
Irla : "Shall we go back to the city my lord?"
Lance, still baffled by the sudden kiss just nodded, allowing the new black Irla to pick him up effortlessly and take off at subsonic speeds towards the city which was only a day old.
