Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Similarly...

There may be peers able to defeat Kael, but he was certainly not one of them.

Of course, Kael wasn’t giving any attention to the Half-life’s current thoughts; his sights had long since risen above his peers. It made no sense for someone with his capabilities to struggle in such a hard-fought battle.

Now, the gazes of the Half-lives on the field were filled with admiration and wariness towards Kael. @@novelbin@@

Clearly, everyone present had been alerted by the recent events at Muxue Castle, though they might not understand the specifics.

What Kael wasn’t aware of was that, due to the grudges held by the dwarves, Lord of Muxue had not informed the Royal Capital of Kael’s actions in dismantling the family barrier and grievously injuring the ancestral god-chosen of his family.

And on the Royal Capital’s side, they naturally assumed the aggressor was none other than the Magic Monarch Luxius.

Kael was unaware of this mischaracterization, and he didn’t care either.

Today’s banquet was of paramount importance for the future of the Yibel Federation.

Prior players were not well-acquainted with the Bartlett Monarch, but Kael had once learned of him during a covert mission from a top-tier mage.

It was said that the Bartlett Monarch had once presided over an experimental project against the gods for the Yibel Federation. Allegedly, at the cusp of the experiment’s completion, for unknown reasons, the Bartlett Monarch died abruptly in the laboratory.

Without any disturbance, it was only by the side bathtub that they found the Bartlett Monarch, his blood drained, hand still clutching a page of the experimental log.

About the details of this mission, no one had been told before. It wasn’t until an offhand conversation with the rat-folk leader "Riffraff Fish" that Kael was reminded and reconsidered the past events.

By his estimates, it was probably on the eve of the plotter’s rebellion.

Now, this was interesting.

Grasping Elanna’s hand, Kael sank into thought.

Experiments concerning the gods had occurred more than once in history.

As the most powerful existence recognized on the continent, and the most likely to replicate, how to harness divine power has always been a fascination for top-tier professionals and major forces alike.

Yet, no matter the experiment, all had been abandoned eventually for various reasons.

A reason for Kael’s visit to the Orean Independent Kingdom was to learn, from the Bartlett Monarch - if possible, methods to resist the gods, even if it was just the direction for future magic development.

After all, he couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t confront the gods in the future, and he harbored ambitions of Divine Enthronement.

If one wishes to uncover the truth behind this "game," considerable power is indispensable.

As for another reason, regarding the third Dungeon soon to open in Lancaster, Kael had researched extensive historical archives recently, narrowly pinpointing the situation in the Wandong City area.

Comparing them with the records about those past events sent by Archbishop Tet, a bold idea took shape in his mind.

To realize this bold idea, he needed something from within the Orean Independent Kingdom.

Though the Orean Independent Kingdom was founded by the Halflings, the land had an owner in earlier times: the goblins.

Even now, echoes of the goblin empire’s history reverberated in the Dungeons below.

This was precisely why the early dwarves chose to back the Halflings in establishing their nation here.

Twisted Alchemy Storms once ravaged this land, dark magic particles with intense pollution and penetration plagued the once goblin empire’s territory.

Any being below Holy Sanctuary Level faced grave physical harm upon entering this domain. The dark magic particles from the Alchemy Storm would corrupt their flesh into something incomprehensible.

Like blisters formed from severe burns, enigmatic body toxins, and those special force fields that could warp one’s mind, this land was once a no-man’s land.

It wasn’t until the wandering Halflings sought a home that the initial Halfling sages decided to learn environmental transformation technologies from the dwarves and began a reform lasting over 300 years. Continue reading on NovelBin.Côm

After the sacrifice of generation after generation of Halflings, they completely eradicated the Alchemy Storm.

Then, after countless years, they built their kingdom upon the ruins. But perhaps because their nation-building relied on dwarf power, the early Halflings held a deep fascination and trust in dwarven technology.

The dwarves were no fools; they saw this and immediately engaged in cultural exports and inclusive aid. Their influence quickly seeped into the kingdom and stabilized their foothold.

Calling them the Heavenly Dragon People of the Orean Independent Kingdom wouldn’t be wrong.

Perhaps it was this historical bond that fostered a good perception of dwarves among countless Half-lives even up to now.

Of course, Kael had nothing to say about this.

Nowadays, no one knew exactly what the relationship between those initial founders of the Orean Independent Kingdom and the dwarves was like.
