Chapter 144 "Bye"
"Okay then what do you suggest we do?" Alina asked drawing all attention to the throne
Even she in all her power could tell that the lady was right, she too had participated in that trade, and she had given troops she had conquered and trained.
True, the higher limit of the conquered soldiers as of them was S-rank but they were still nowhere near her main troops at the time. It was common sense to withhold your strongest card after all who knows when you will face them as an enemy.
"Truthfully, for you all… I have absolutely zero idea, for me, I surrender to Lord [Kingsley], I don't like seeking death" The lady said as with a smile as she turned to the crowd
"You dare!!" a shout was heard followed by the sound of concrete breaking.
Turning towards its source, they all saw their familiar punching bag flying towards the lady at full speed. Many of them bearing the same feelings as him, they all felt as though she had simply gone up there just to insult them.
"Bye!" the lady said as bright light was seen covering her and soon, she disappeared from the hall.
Reappearing inside a somewhat similar room but it was less majestic and very familiar, the lady let out a sigh of relief. Who knew what would have happened if the system was even a little bit late in transporting her out.
"Guess my luck is still ongoing" she said as she finally looked up to peruse her environment
"Argggh!!" she screamed in shock when she saw the monstrosity called an Angel standing in front of her.
"Why are you standing there like that?" she shouted as she instinctively slapped the creature
She may be its master but there was no law that said she would be used to their creepiness. In fact, no matter how much time she spent with the angels; something told her that she will never get used to them.
"My Ladyship, you are back from your meeting, how did it go?" a semi-robotic voice was heard as an Automaton approached her
"It went well… it's just that those people are dumb as hell" she said as she relaxed into her throne.
….
You have been accepted into the [Deus Kingdom], you are now eligible to ask for reinforcements, help or any form of assistance from your fellow governors
Please pick an Emblem and a house name to represent your territory
….
A system notification appeared as a smile appeared on her face.
"That's easy" she said as she immediately drew a pair of feathery wings and a little halo on it and quickly typed in the name she wanted
…
Emblem selected and published, House name chosen and published.
Welcome Governor [Seraph] to the [Deus Kingdom], you will automatically be added to the [Deus Kingdom] Chat
…
"Thank you" she replied still with a smile on her face
With a fulfilled smile on her face, she relaxed into her throne. You see, unlike the rest simply planned to see how long Lord [Kingsley] would take before he finally snapped after all such goodwill couldn't last long.
"Are those truly your thoughts or are you just thinking?" a familiar but still unknown voice was heard as she immediately jumped from her throne in shock
"Who said that?" She asked as a spear materialized before her.
She may not know how to fight but unlike the majority of people out there, she was much higher in level. Hence, she hoped to use overwhelming strength and speed to overpower whoever it is no matter their techniques.
"Look up" the voice said again as she immediately did so only to see a large three-dimensional portrait floating in the air.
The individual floating in the air was someone she had seen only twice in the past but had spoken to on many occasions. Watching as the 3-D portrait slowly transformed from just a hologram into a physical body, she simply stood in shock and confusion.
"How are you here?" She asked.
"When you surrender, your territory becomes mine and I am free to roam through my territories as much as I want but don't worry, your privacy is still your privacy" The man answered.
"Wait, do I bow now or what?" She asked remembering the current title of the man she was talking to.
Awkwardly getting down on her knees to give the popular knight's salute, Kingsley stood and watched but due to the entire weirdness of the situation. He simply told her to stand as there was no use to it for now. He was only a clone, not the real thing.
"So, what are you doing here?" she asked, still confused at the whole ordeal.
"That part is simple, you surrendered, and my duty is to welcome you to my kingdom and also set up the basic requirements of a Deus governor" Kingsley replied as he slowly began to come down from the sky.
Out of fear, she immediately stepped back, almost falling over her throne but thankfully such a disgraceful event didn't occur as Kingsley landed on the ground quietly.
"They really are freaky" Kingsley said as her angels gathered in the room.
Though he had seen worse in either the Demon or Heavenly realms he had created, none of them could somehow compare to the angels here. Well mostly because he knew their full potential and none of them could match a true angel, that was scarier to him than their appearance.
"At least you don't have to spend twenty-four hours with them, imagine waking up to that?" Stephanie replied.
"Just work hard to level up your summoning pool, I think you would be able to summon more evolved versions of them then" Kingsley replied,
He could technically do it for her but where was the fun in that. His powers already ruined the joy of a fantasy world for him so why should he rob others of the tasks and desire to get stronger. Being as the peak truly isn't a good thing all the time, even Monarchs get stronger but he legit couldn't… unless he was training his physical body or trying to become powerful through normal system given abilities.
"For that, I need fifteen thousand spirit stones, thirty-five thousand spirit cores and finally the true essence of an archangel to level it up, do I look like I can get all those any time soon" Stephanie asked.
"You will eventually, however as your king, I am obliged to help so here" Kingsley said as a small beaker appeared in his hand.
The contents of the beaker shone brightly to the extent of becoming an extra source of light in the throne room. Waving his hand, the light subsided, and the true contents of the beaker was revealed. It was a bright yellow or golden substance that looked and behaved like a liquid, but she wasn't too sure what it was.
"Is that what I think it is?" She asked surprised.
"No, this is the true essence of a Throne, they are a grade above the Archangels so it should help you better shouldn't it" Kingsley asked.
"Who are you?" She asked with mixed expressions. She was grateful but at the same time, couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Only God knew how this had worried her so much. The spirit stones according to the system was exactly what you would expect it to be, natural resources that appear wherever there is an abundance of spirit energy. Spirit cores were in cultivation terms, the Dian tan or Elixir core or the energy center of any living being.
The problem was that spirit cores are only found in B-ranks and above. Stephanie believed that with her luck and how powerful her troops were, she will eventually gather the necessary materials but no matter how she thought of it, she couldn't see how she would encounter an Archangel.
"As of late, that depends entirely on you, I could be god, King [Deus] or just Lord [Kingsley]" Kingsley replied as he slowly lifted himself off the ground.
Meanwhile Stephanie could be seen carrying the beaker as though her life depended entire on it. Not bothering to put it away, she held on tightly to it because she felt it could roll off wherever she kept it and it would fall and break
"Follow me, my time is almost up, also you don't need to cradle that so much, the glass in unbreakable until you want to break it" Kingsley said as he began floating out of the castle.
"Can I test that?" She asked with her curiosity getting the better of her.
"If you want to die, yes… Thrones don't like waste especially when it's related to them"
