"Yes it does, Drakos, and it will do the same for you, too. Don't worry. Just relax… as is going to be fun. But before the fun begins, we have something important to do. I haven't told you about this, as the idea came to me suddenly, but let's go- I'll show you."

Understanding that that last part was both for himself and the Ancient Basilisk, Daneel replied in this way.

A few moments later, they arrived on top of a large platform that was floating in the air.

Striding along the glossy surface and noticing that the heavenly city was close to its destination, Daneel first adjusted the spell that was making it move before ducking into a large room that had been constructed right in the middle of the city.

There were many people present, who were all going about their duties of listing the problems faced by the people and the solutions that would give the best resolutions, but none of them saw the King while he reached the place that he had only recently set up.

Inside, there were ten display trinkets showing ten locations all over Angaria.

There were quite a few differences between all of these ten, but one thing was common in them all: a gilded throne with three dragons running along its back and arms could be seen, placed right in the center of the image that the display trinkets were showing, as if waiting for their owners to arrive and take their rightful seat upon them.

After studying them for a few moments, Drakos exclaimed, "All of these locations perfectly cover the entire continent's borders! They even come close to being equidistant to each other… What is the meaning of this, young King?"

Getting a smile on his face on hearing that moniker that only the Ancient Dragon used, Daneel sat down on a throne that he conjured before simply saying, "Wait and see."

Patience had always been a virtue of the Dragon, so he simply continued to wait, while the minutes ticked by.

During that time, they arrived at the spot where Daneel had spoken with the sovereigns before.

As soon as it stopped, many gasps and even screams of surprise could be heard from someplace below where they were sitting.

Stretching his senses out, Drakos realized that they were from the millions of people who had gathered at the king's behest, and the reason behind their reaction was because the cloaking spell that had hidden the Heavenly City from view until now had been deactivated.

After the gasps, lively discussions began, as everyone understood that the appearance of this city meant that the time for the coronation would soon be here.

They had come from far and wide to witness the ceremony take place for the person that they all believed in, and while listening to the conversations of the common people which were all filled with the hope for a better future with the king at the helm of the entire continent, Drakos did not notice that each of the thrones on the display trinkets had slowly begun to fill up.

By the time he brought his attention back to the room, nine of the 10 seats were occupied.

And of course… All of the people sitting in them were the sovereigns.

The only one missing was Eloise, but she, too, arrived and sat down with a broad smile.

As soon as she did so, golden light burst forth around all of the thrones.

At the same time, the throne that Daneel had conjured also began to slowly shine, and as Drakos analyzed the formations that were springing to life, he became speechless for a few moments.

Even when he found his voice, he could only stutter.

"Th-this formation! The Emperor began the calculations, but he said that it would take centuries… you finished it? How?!"

"Oh, it was nothing. Now, shall we begin the pre-unification ceremony? Sovereigns, are you ready?"

"Yes,"

"About time!"

"I was born ready!"

"Let's go!"

Different kinds of responses came from different sovereigns, but they were all filled with elation.

With a nod, Daneel folded one leg on another, and began the process he had explained to them in those display trinkets.

"I gave you all the name 'Sovereigns', for I looked forward to the day when you would truly become what it represented. Today is that day. Today, we create history. Sovereigns, the Emperor always dreamed of creating a continent-wide formation that would be ready to act for the citizens of his Empire, no matter where they were, and no matter whether anyone was near them, or not. He created the base of the framework which he called the 'Godnet', as it conformed with the ancient idea of God being an omnipresent being. Alas, the sheer complexity of a formation master's mind required to create one formidable enough to stretch across such a large continent while not needing to use exorbitant amounts of resources was off the scales. However, in this age, for the people who all placed their trust in me, I succeeded. The Godnet needs at least nine cornerstones. The ten thrones that you are sitting on are all of the cornerstones that I created for this purpose. When you bind your throne, you will essentially become a Sovereign of Angaria, whose words will control the lives and deaths of millions of Angarians. But before creating the bond, I wanted to give you a small test. I asked you to look within, and find the thing that you wish to accomplish in your lives. Only by holding that wish with the strongest conviction possible, can you succeed in binding those thrones. And after it is done…you will be the agents of the Godking, who will appear whenever a prayer is made, to grant wishes if they are deserved, or take away the wishes given by Mother Angaria, if it is needed. You shall be my Archangels who will be worshipped as the Godking's personification on this continent, and with time, you will become Gods, yourselves. One by one, speak, and begin the binding. Glory be to Angaria!"
