Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1279 - 357: The Era of Deterrence

And now, he clearly already achieved it.

"So strong!"

Someone whispered in admiration.

Perhaps because this statement resonated too deeply with the group's thoughts, people gradually began whispering about just how strong Lord Kael could be.

Of course, among the people present, more were members of the Kingdom of Englance, and for them, having a Guardian and ruler who far exceeded their expectations was a cause for excitement.

An indescribable sense of pride filled their chests.

"Strong, isn't he? Our leader!"

That was roughly the state of affairs.

In contrast, people soon discovered another somewhat strange matter.

After the Floating City flew across the sky, they felt a sudden rise of timidity within, without knowing why.

It was as if there was something terrifying in the sky, gazing down upon the world.

Suddenly, someone came to a realization.

"It's~it's a god!"

The Bell Federation didn't lack elderly people. Barely over a decade had passed, and the daunting power of deities still existed, leaving countless people who experienced the war back then with an unexpressible fear of death.

That was the malice from a god; countless veterans who participated in that battle have not forgotten the dread of being watched by a supreme entity.

"Noisy."

Kael snorted coldly.

With that snort, an invisible force field expanded outward from the Titan Floating City, as they vaguely heard Lord Kael's calm voice, like a breeze sweeping past their heads:

"A defeated foe, daring to raise a voice before me, begone!"

As Kael's voice dropped, a huge and terrifying Light Sword seemed to appear in the sky, splitting the void instantly.

In the seemingly empty void, a visible crack appeared as if by magic, with dreadful blood spewing out, cascading down to the ground from above.

"Helois Monarch, one day you will regret it, as a mediator neither belonging to order nor chaos, one day you will face the world as an enemy."

The god's venomous voice echoed from the sky.

"Having appeared before me, did you consider that leaving intact might not be possible?"

Kael said coldly.

As he spoke, an enormously gigantic finger appeared in the sky, gently tapping the void as if a gentle breeze.

Yet the next moment, the void shattered inch by inch, and the collapsing space exposed a figure none could discern.

Before they could look closely, that finger had crushed the spectral imprint.

With a sound of agony, they felt the terrible oppression shrouding their heads completely dispersed at that moment.

"The ascension ceremony continues; with me here."

Kael said indifferently.

If he just arrived in this world, someone might have mocked Kael, claiming he was pretending to be mighty, performing as a clown before everyone.

But twenty years later, Kael proved through actions to everyone—

Under the gods, I am invincible!

As long as he was alive, even gods were entities he could easily dispatch.

Upon deeply realizing this, the security of the people in the Kingdom of Englance elevated once again.

Kael glanced over the crowd.

The entity that tried to meddle in this conflict was likely an Evil God.

However, Kael was sure that this Evil God's audacity to appear at the scene might have been partially allowed by some proper gods.

The Bell Federation was significant, and emerging with someone as superior as Kael, they genuinely worried if their foundation might be shaking!

Given the present scenario, Kael's power completely warranted the status of a land deity-level entity.

If they didn't suppress Kael's rise now, it might escalate to overturning the heavens later.

Yet, this probing didn't yield favorable results.

The Helois Monarch turned out to be as relentless as ever, once engaged, striking with merciless intensity.

After such maneuvers, the opponent could definitely say they'd suffered significant losses.

However, compared to this, another group of individuals was as joyful as if celebrating a festival.

Indeed, who else could be more exuberant than the locals but those players?

"One word, awesome!"

"Hahaha, though Brother Kael had already clarified our territory and position, because the Duchy of Bell Federation had not ascended, we only nominally had privileges, lacking the system prompts, something felt missing indeed."

"Speaking of which, has Kael become a king now? Is this the real child of the version? Doesn't seem like too much time has passed, honestly."

"Naturally, because Brother Kael is forever a god!"

"The fake version's prodigy: Becomes protagonist relying on lip service and luck, along with antagonists losing intelligence. The true version's prodigy: No flashy tricks, just battles from start to finish!"

"Becoming a system-recognized Border Lord, does that imply we can explore opening a Dungeon?"

"Absolutely, previously because the system hadn't formally acknowledged us, or rather, since the Duchy of Englance hadn't ascended to Kingdom status, we couldn't exert our Lord rights. I just checked, and at the edge of the territory, portals to the Nether are beginning to form. Using the Investigation Skill, it takes about ten days for a new Nether Gate to open freely."

"Haha, every Nether Gate leads to a Dungeon, simplifying as an instance, we players essentially control the instances. Doesn't that mean we NTR the GMs' authority!"

"Controlling my foot, through all these years, how often have we seen players rush in and suffer setbacks in instances? Without elite combat power, conquering the Nether Gates is hugely challenging!"

"Exactly, especially with level capping in the Nether Gates. Do you really reckon our current state, with levels and Attributes restricted, facing those honed NPCs, has lots of winning odds?"

"I don't care, I don't care. Anyway, I've become a Lord now. Where's the Cat Eared Girl? The Fox Lady? The Succubus? I'm eager to establish a grand-scale harem in-game!"

"Hilarious, Holy Light Shielding System, you won't even get the chance to feel, just kicked offline directly!"

"This is the [Strange Power Chaos God] club. Our territory coordinates are XXX.XXX.XXX. Interested friends can join our territorial impart joy celebrations… uh, I mean, celebrate our Strange Power Chaos God owning territory!"

"Good one, Strange Power Chaos God, is this your way of promoting?"

"If you do that, we [Gun and Roses] will soon let our lovely gals make a grand entrance."

"Hey, sugardaddy's retiring in this version!"

...

The players' forums were bustling, and Kael surely knew it.

He now not only controlled everything on the forum, but could even use players as his eyes.

Even now, he was sparing some focus to share joyous moments with the players.

Yet not long after, the smile on his face began to stiffen somewhat.

He silently turned off the perspective from the player side.

Couldn't bear it.

When this group of players goes wild, even off-battle, they flood the screen with Holy Light.

Watching gives one a headache; SP checks constantly.

Why does he feel that if these players keep developing this way, they'll soon turn into perverts just like certain weirdos in "KonoSuba"?

He wanted to cultivate a group of well-behaved players, not a bunch who, first chance they got, asked for explicit images!

But still…

It's truly nice!

Kael gently lifted his gaze towards the sky.

That azure, clear sky was once the peaceful future he dreamed of yet could not have.

Fortunately, now the era of deterrence has officially entered.

Indeed, he is that deterrence!
