"...that concludes my information regarding our current situation." Aeden bowed to Esther before leaving the church.

"So Kami, what do you plan to do next?" Esther asked Kami, who is floating beside her and just staring into nothingness.

"I think it's time to become a real God" Kami said out.

"Esther, call Aeden. It's time to step up our game." he commanded

...

"Esther, I want you to relay my words to all: From this moment forth, I shall be known as Salus, the God of Salvation! Let this name be echoed throughout the land, a beacon of hope and deliverance for all who seek it. 

"Yes, my Lord,"

"Now, onto the next matter at hand. Esther, I need you to assemble a dedicated team to procure the necessary manpower and resources to construct the Knight Temple. I shall provide you with all the support you require. Once the temple is erected, I want you to select twenty of the most promising individuals and commence their training as our inaugural Knights. Aeden, you shall be among them. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord!" they affirmed eagerly.

"And now, onto the most crucial announcement of all. Henceforth, let it be known that our religion shall be called the Divinum Religion, and our place of worship shall bear the name Divinum Church!"

Relay my orders to Aeden and then I want you to do something for me..."

<Next Day>

The street lies cloaked in the serene silence of the pre-dawn hours. Esther, her presence radiating an aura of divinity, stands before a gathering of people, their eyes fixed upon her in anticipation. The first rays of sunlight begin to peek over the horizon, casting a golden glow upon the scene.

As Esther raises her hands, a gentle breeze sweeps through the air, rustling the leaves of nearby trees. The anticipation among the crowd intensifies, a palpable energy filling the space.

"From this moment forward, the God, who gave us a second life, shall be known as Salus, the God of Salvation! Additionally, we shall be known as the Divinum Church! No more days where we are seen by outsiders as a bunch of lunatics! We redeem everyone who suffers at the hands of the Ambrosius Religion! We fight and bring peace in the name of our God! Salus, the God of Salvation!"

With a commanding gesture, Esther commands the shadows of the early morning to rise, and strangely they obey. The shadows, cast by the buildings and trees, stretch and elongate, taking on a life of their own. They twist and dance, swirling in intricate patterns, defying the laws of nature.

The sun climbs higher in the sky, painting the world in hues of pink and gold. The shadows, now vibrant and animated, grow bolder, intertwining with one another, forming ethereal shapes and figures.

Esther's face is bathed in the warm glow of the rising sun, her eyes shimmering with a profound sense of purpose. She watches with unwavering focus as the shadows continue their enchanting dance.

With a final flourish, the shadows coalesce into human forms. They take on substance, becoming tangible beings of darkness and light, their features delicate yet powerful. The crowd gasps in awe, witnessing this miraculous display of creation.

As the sun ascends higher, its brilliance illuminates the newfound life within the shadows. Each figure stands tall, radiating a divine presence, their faces mirroring the awe and wonder of those who gaze upon them.

Esther, now standing amidst a gathering of the shadow-born, raises her arms in a gesture of reverence. The crowd, humbled and moved by the spectacle, falls to their knees, their hearts filled with reverence and adoration.

The sacredness of the moment is intensified as the sun reaches its zenith, casting a resplendent glow upon Esther and the shadow-born. The air is charged with an ethereal energy, a profound sense of unity between the mortal and the divine.
