Resplendence

Resplendence are first sphere thrones which are on the third rank of the hierarchy of Laguna, the chain of command of the Angels of Paradiso. They act as huge warships with the ability to bring ruin to huge cities with his beams of light. It is supposed to be an incarnation of the sun, one of the symbol of Paradiso. Resplendence is never fought directly.

Bayonetta
It is only seen in Chapter XIV where it is constantly above the assieged city of Vigrid. It is never fought and barely interact with Bayonetta.

Hierarchy of Laguna
"Forged by divine hands using the brilliance of the sun itself, Resplendence resides in the First Sphere class Thrones, ranked third in the angelic hierarchy. Resplendence's radiant form can overturn the laws of nature, turning night to day as it simply peers over the horizon. Among those who gaze into its luminous presence, the pious weep and bow before it, while it sears the eyes of those who lack faith, throwing them to the ground in submission."
