Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1132 - 297: Kael’s Panic and a Conspiracy Hidden for 6 Years (10K)_3

Kael chuckled and said,

"That's inevitable, after all, it's quite difficult for an old man not to remember seeing the younger ones being lovey-dovey beside him from time to time."

Kael's expression turned somewhat awkward for a moment.

Because, at that instant, he couldn't quite understand whether Bartlett Monarch was referring to Elanna or the bold moves of the bewitching Flandre he had just begun with.

He instinctively changed the topic, chuckling slightly as he said:

"So, Lord Bartlet, what exactly is the technological breakthrough on the Federation's side that requires you and me to personally pilot the Floating City to kill a Divine Favored?"

"Haven't you already seen it?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, haven't you already seen the content of the real technological breakthrough?!"

Seeing Bartlett Monarch's smiling expression, Kael shivered subconsciously and said with an intriguing tone:

"So according to what you mean, this time's technological breakthrough is the 'Bartlet's Finger of Death'?"

Bartlett, upon hearing this, almost lifted his head high.

However, Kael didn't look particularly happy; instead, he hesitated and looked at Bartlett Monarch, saying:

"Lord Bartlet, indeed, the 'Bartlet's Finger of Death' you created has a strong impact on souls, but its inherent drawbacks remain quite severe, right?"

"Hmm, you can specifically talk about what issues there are; I'm listening." Bartlett said gently.

Kael showed a hesitant expression once again and finally bit his finger before saying with some difficulty:

"If we simply rely on this magic, it's likely impossible to undertake the task of killing the gods, right?"

"Of course, while I'm quite confident in the extreme soul-restraining property of the Finger of Death, I must admit, in a battle with deities, the sheer power of the Finger of Death cannot surpass that of the gods. Even in this time's killing of a deity, it was because the deity was already half-crippled by you." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Then why still..." Hearing Bartlett Monarch's words, a subtle expression flashed on Kael's face. If this alone could be called a plan for deicide, then Kael would have to start considering the possibility of slipping away.

"Hey, hey, hey, your expression is quite rude!"

It seemed that Bartlett Monarch noticed something was off with Kael's expression; he showed a helpless look and sighed, saying:

"So, do you have some misunderstanding about the Finger of Death? The Finger of Death I just demonstrated isn't the power limit that the Finger of Death itself can reach."

"So, what exactly is the situation?"

"As I've mentioned before, for mages like us, we can completely communicate with all things and utilize the power of all things. Then, what do you think is the operating mechanism of the Finger of Death?"

When Bartlett Monarch talked about this topic, he couldn't help but show a smile that could be described as eerie.

That smile reflected in Kael's eyes, momentarily filled with a sense of absurd horror.

However, he quickly recalled through his associations the essence of manipulation spells, or more accurately, the essence of Bartlett's version of manipulation spells.

Just as Bartlett used domains to forcibly dominate the natural phenomena within the domain back then.

For current manipulation spells, how to invoke the inherent attributes of all things is undoubtedly a very challenging endeavor.

But if someone succeeds as smoothly as Bartlett Monarch, then they would become an all-purpose profession.

However, after thinking for a while, Kael quickly realized that understanding Bartlett Monarch through this angle must be problematic.

The most special aspect of Bartlett Monarch is not the all-purpose nature, but the core concept of "manipulation" itself.

Thus, many incorrect reasoning options were immediately eliminated on the spot.

He had just seen the Finger of Death, the endless terror that seemed to return from the Abyss, as if it intended to crush everything blocking its way.

And it was at this moment that he suddenly realized a crucial issue.

"Lord Bartlet... Is the core of your spell possibly the control over death?"

"Haha, truly worthy of you—your teacher couldn't quickly figure out the mechanism of this spell. You guessed it right; the essence of 'Bartlet's Finger of Death' is an attempt to manipulate the phenomenon of death.

Of course, it's called an attempt because the control over the concept of death by the Finger of Death is almost uncontrollable. Normally, Finger of Death would inflict extremely terrifying soul damage on the enemy, but the probability of inducing death by triggering the concept of death is very low."

"Then compensate with quantity?" Kael subconsciously said.

With an overflowing computational power and having enough supply of magic power, the first thought that flashed through Kael's mind was indeed this.

An abundance to ensure satisfaction, even by sheer number, could crush enemies to death.
