As I said my words, as you can imagine, the people of Babylon were excited beyond anything. They never doubted whether I could resurrect them or not—after all, to them, I am the almighty God, and I can do anything.
After a whole lot of chaos and trouble, I levitated again and once again started emitting golden light, lifting both my hands, and—
'Raph, let's do it. Heal every one of them, make them come back in their peak condition. As a bonus, also clear any disease or ailment they possess in their body, making them quite literally their perfect form.'
[Yes, Master. Scanning the entire Babylon for the 'dead.']
[A total of 17,573 'dead' people found.]
[9,788 people have slightly damaged bodies, 7,677 people have severely damaged bodies, and 108 people have their bodies blown into bits.]
'.....Maybe we really did overdo it...'
[Master, just stop acting and think like your normal self would... Say 'it's all for the greater good' and move on...]
'Yeah, it really isn't like me to think like this... When did I start counting corpses? In the battle against the Kamitarr, I had many more people slaughtered, so this is comparatively milder... Is it because this time, they are civilians, and not militants?'
[Based on my speculations, you being human until not so long ago, you have more affection for humans compared to other species. Previously, when you killed the Kamitarr, you were almost as neutral as humans are when they slaughter chickens or goats... But with humans, you don't really want them dead—hence the difference in thought.]
'Nah, that's not it... I don't care about humans now... I have left my previous identity behind... I like my new one much more.' I thought...
[Okay, this can be answered simply if you answer one question of mine... Imagine suddenly a war starts—let's say, between humans and the Chitauri... Who do you wish should come out victorious?]
'Well... humans... why would I support the Chitauri?'
[Exactly. It is also because of this subconscious bias that you are treating humans differently.]
'I see...'
'Okay, that's for later. We should resurrect them first.'
[Yes, Master.]
'Okay, scan and create bodies for everyone. Let's start... Wait, let's make them a bit stronger...' I said, pondering, thinking what would happen if I infused some life energy into every human while resurrecting them...
[Yes, Master. Starting.]
'Wait!!! I suddenly thought of something... Scan every human's genetics here. Check if there is X gene present within them, even in dormant stage.'
Suddenly, in my mind came mutants... The X gene present within humans was an interesting concept... one which I intended to utilize.
Therefore, I was planning to do extensive research on the X gene. The goal was to study it, improve it, and control it. Although it may not be useful for me now, when I start enhancing the people of Asgard, I will use the X gene as a method of rewarding the generals of Asgard. They can also become something akin to false gods then—better than the current Tyr, but worse than the royals of then, who would all have their own Godforce.
Of course, I would only create powerful abilities, like Omega and Alpha class ones, and keep it quite regulated. But I would also let Raphael run enough tests on it to ensure its weaknesses are minimal...
[Yes, Master. Scanning the humans...]
[Traces of what you refer to as the X gene are found in most humans, but it is far too dormant and would probably never awaken...]
'Good, so they exist... Create recordings of every X gene within everyone, just to broaden our research database. Then we can go extensive on it...'
[Yes, Master. Scanning every X gene present within every human. Recording in detail.]
'Alright, now where were we?... Oh yeah, spell... Raph, do it...'
This was something which I could do if I tried sincerely enough, but as it happens, I was not interested in doing it. First was because it was simply too tedious, and second was because there was no way in hell I could treat them all at once...
So let's leave this to Raph—she's practically a professional in everything now.
[Alright, Master. Starting the spell.]
"Blessing of the God of Life!" With a loud voice, I announced, and the entire Babylon was filled with light. Then, soon enough, the people lying on the ground started to wake up, missing body parts started regrowing, and those that were blown to bits also started to form back. It was a miracle, and the Babylonians who were seeing this were filled with awe...
Well, I guess I won't have to do anything special to make them loyal to me...
And in a few moments, every Babylonian was back together, hugging each other and crying. It was a touching scene, and just the fact that I got to see such a scene makes the previous efforts worth it...
Hahh, such a kind person I am... I staged all of this just to bring some smiles to the faces of the people... Have you ever seen someone more generous than me?
And I can say one thing for sure—that from today, interpersonal relationships of Babylonians would become much better than they were previously, since they experienced the pain of losing others so vividly right now, that they will cherish them more...
God... no, Me... I sound like a villain from the Naruto-verse right now, with that kind of thinking in my mind...
But I have no interest in becoming a 'pain' in the ass...
As the resurrected people began gathering together with the previous crowd, standing before me were over 50,000 people, all full of devotion toward me... I could feel their frustration and anger even from here... Leaders really are power hungry it seems....they even dare to resent god....
But sorry, buddy—nothing you can do about it...
These people, of course, were the leaders of Babylon... They feared that I might give the position of leader to someone randomly, and they wouldn't be able to do anything... hence their frustration...
Anyways, what they think has nothing to do with me...
Let's turn this group of humans into my followers first...
