In terms of much higher rank Angels in this series splits into categories;

-Those who don't care who becomes the Goddess due to just wanting to continue their original duties (Managing souls of the dead, Creating life, making new angels, etc.) of which some still do to this day. (Example; Virtue's, Thone's) They will serve whoever wins.

-Those who prefer Ilias ways. So they serve Eden. (Archangels mostly. Some loyal 9th circles. Cherubs.)

-Those who don't want to give up the new world and life of coexistance. So they'll help Alice and Micaela. (Other 9th circles, very few archangels.)

So some of the higher orders of angels (6th-3rd categories in their duties) will continue their lives regardless of whoever wins. Not really being affected by it.

However should Eden win, she'll force all angels to turn on humanity and monster-kind.

Also Archangels aren't weak despite their 8th circle rating. Here's a quote from Ariel's monsterpedia; "It should be noted that in the circles above Archangel, the duties of angels start to orient more towards duties of the soul and management of the Heavens. It isn’t implied that the combat capabilities of higher circle angels is higher than the Archangel class. Archangels, with their special forces use for battle, are more often than not just as powerful in combat as higher ranking angels.”
