Chapter 54: The Growth and Expansion of the Divine Triad's Ultimate Troops
Over the past century, the Divine Triad has overseen the expansion and enhancement of their ultimate troops, ensuring that their armies remain an unparalleled force across the multiverse. With some races unable to reproduce, the Divine Triad implemented transformative measures to ensure their growth and stability.

The Numerical Evolution of the Ultimate Troops
1. Apostles of God
100 Years Ago: Hundreds of thousands (all male, infertile).
Now: 1 million (after the creation of hundreds of thousands of female Apostles and fertility granted to all).
Adjustment: Sung Jin-Woo, Ashborn, and Sung Su-Ho created female counterparts for the male Apostles of God and made them fertile. The Apostles were obligated to marry within their ranks, ensuring controlled growth and harmony.
2. Dark Apostles
100 Years Ago: Millions.
Now: Billions (due to natural reproduction).
No Adjustment Needed: Dark Apostles, with both male and female members, naturally reproduced and formed families among themselves. Their population surged exponentially.
3. Heavenly Soldiers
100 Years Ago: Billions.
Now: Trillions (multiplied by the fruits of the World Tree).
Adjustment: The Divine Triad decreed that Heavenly Soldiers could marry female members of any race. Millions of soldiers took spouses from various races, blending cultures and strengthening alliances.
4. Shadowkins
100 Years Ago: Millions.
Now: Billions (due to natural reproduction).
No Adjustment Needed: Shadowkins, with male and female members, continued to reproduce naturally and expand their societies.
5. Dragonkins
100 Years Ago: Millions.
Now: Billions (due to natural reproduction).
No Adjustment Needed: Dragonkins thrived with both male and female members, forming strong communities through natural reproduction.
6. Shadow Lords
100 Years Ago: Tens of billions (mostly male, infertile).
Now: Tens of billions with spouses.
Adjustment: Sung Jin-Woo created female counterparts for the Shadow Lords using their ribs, granting them the ability to reproduce. This ensured a balanced and sustainable population.
7. Fiery Dragon Lords
100 Years Ago: Millions (mostly male, infertile).
Now: Millions with spouses.
Adjustment: Sung Su-Ho created female counterparts for the Fiery Dragon Lords using their ribs, enabling reproduction and fostering familial bonds.

Strategic Adjustments by the Divine Triad
Understanding the importance of maintaining balance and sustainability within their armies, the Divine Triad took the following actions:
1. Female Apostles of God:
Hundreds of thousands of female Apostles were created, and both male and female Apostles were granted fertility. This change not only ensured population growth but also deepened the bonds among the Apostles, fostering unity.
2. Heavenly Soldiers' Marriages:
The Divine Triad encouraged millions of Heavenly Soldiers to marry female members of other races, creating diverse alliances and strengthening inter-species relationships.
3. Spouses for Shadow Lords:
Sung Jin-Woo used his divine power to create spouses for the Shadow Lords from their own ribs, imbuing them with traits compatible with their shadow essence. This act solidified the loyalty and morale of the Shadow Lords.
4. Spouses for Fiery Dragon Lords:
Similarly, Sung Su-Ho created spouses for the Fiery Dragon Lords, ensuring their population could grow and flourish. The new spouses possessed fiery attributes complementary to their partners, enhancing their strength.

The Resulting Population Dynamics
After these adjustments, the Divine Triad's armies became more formidable than ever, both in numbers and strength:
Apostles of God: 1 million
Dark Apostles: Billions
Heavenly Soldiers: Trillions
Shadowkins: Billions
Dragonkins: Billions
Shadow Lords: Tens of billions (with spouses)
Fiery Dragon Lords: Millions (with spouses)
The expansion of the ultimate troops ensured that no enemy, no matter how powerful, could challenge the Divine Triad. These adjustments also reinforced harmony within the ranks, fostering a sense of purpose and family among the forces.
The armies of the Divine Triad stood as the pinnacle of power, an invincible force destined to protect and govern the multiverse for eternity.

Chapter 54: Numbers of The Divine Triad's Ultimate Troops in A Century
1. Apostles of God (male) cannot reproduce (hundreds of thousands, then and now)
2. Dark Apostles (male and female) can reproduce and they married among themselves (100 years ago in millions, now in billions)
3. Heavenly Soldiers (male) can reproduce but haven't married, multiplied by the fruits of the World Tree (no spouse, 100 years ago in billions, now in trillions)
4. Shadowkins (male and female) can reproduce and marry among themselves (100 years ago in millions, now in billions)
5. Dragonkins (male and female) can reproduce and marry among themselves (100 years ago in millions, now in billions)
6. Shadow Lords (mostly male), can reproduce but have no spouse (tens of billions, then and now)
7. Fiery Dragon Lords (mostly male), can reproduce but have no spouse (millions, then and now)
Knowing that some of the races cannot multiply, The Divine Triad then makes some adjustments:
1. Created hundreds of thousands of female Apostles of God and made all of them (including the male apostles) fertile. They were obligated to marry each other. Now a million apostles are present.
2. For the heavenly soldiers, they are obligated to marry any female races they want. Then some millions from trillions of them are married to various races.
3. For the Shadow Lords, Sung Jin-Woo created their spouse himself from one of their ribs. Now tens of billions of them have their own spouse.
4. For the Fiery Dragon Lords, Sung Su-Ho created their spouse himself from one of their ribs. Now millions of them have their own spouse.
