Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 151 War

Now a sufficient distance away from the wall, a golden light appeared on his body as his body began to shine brightly. The creatures in the area instinctively ran at the sight of such bright light.

"One more time" Kingsley declared as he immediately took off at blinding speed

*Bang* 

A loud sound was heard as Kingsley was sent flying several meters back. Landing gracefully as though none of that had happened, Kingsley began to dust off his clothes

…

Again, you can't break through the wall, to transverse through the wall, you need to wait until it is taken down

….

The system said as Kingsley grunted. It was fun for him to basically throw himself at full power against something without it dying out or collapsing, but it was mostly because he could do so without suffering any injuries.

However, the main reason he was doing so was to somehow get to the other side. He had tried getting the thrones to the other side, but it was also impossible for them, despite them being natives. 

It was something that Kingsley couldn't wrap his head around. The Thrones weren't allowed, but the tregers, hurid, the worms and all the insects within the ground could easily cross through.

"Your majesty, i don't think this is... this isn't working." One of the thrones said, trying his best to be polite

"I know… i know, Let's go" Kingsley said, knowing that nothing he did could bring down the wall.

Regional announcement 

Event trailer

In advance, the [War] feature shall be introduced, all lords can declare war on other lords. This includes kingdoms and alliances… none is exempted. The rules are as follows: 

The winner of each battle takes all including but not limited to the loser's levels, territories, talent, troops etc

* Only the system-given troops are allowed on the battlefield; weapons and other items can still be used even if not given by the system

* Each lord gets a total of three (3) tries to beat or defeat his or her opponent; after this rule number one shall take place

* Kingdoms and Alliances shall pick their representatives for each battle; each battle only allows five (5) lords at once 

* Troop swap is possible for members of the same alliance or kingdom

* A death within the system battlefield is a death in real life, do not be reckless

* Fallen Lords are not exempt from declaring war on another lord, be they a king or an Alliance leader

* King [Set] of the Deus Kingdom is exempt from rule numbers one, three, four, and five. Each victory only gives territory and nothing else; he must represent his kingdom and only gets one (1) chance to defeat the opponent

….

A system announcement came as Kingsley was dusting himself off. Staring at the holographic page before him, Kingsley didn't even know whether to laugh or cry

"Why does this thing want to kill me?" Kingsley said

…

Lady [Venus] declares war on the [Deus] kingdom

…

A second system message appeared as Kingsley immediately sighed. Along with the system message came a portal.

The portal was transparent and offered him the chance to see the other side. Looking in, Kingsley could see a large dead land.

It looked like the Deadlands but there was no deathly aura floating around in the air. The land was barren and dark due to the clear lack of a source of light like the sun.

The sky was completely covered by red and black clouds giving the environment an oppressive aura; however at the same time, Kingsley could still see every inch of the environment clearly.

"Your Majesty!!" The Thrones shouted as they quickly positioned themselves between him and the portal.

"Don't worry, i have to go, I'll be back soon" Kingsley said as he telekinetically pushed them aside.

Even if he had changed physically, he was still nowhere as tall as they were nor was, he anywhere as strong so he needed to use his powers to push them out of the way.

"Your majesty?" one of the thrones asked but Kingsley ignored him as he quietly walked into the portal.

The system didn't give an option where he could refuse such a challenge so he had to go ahead with it and besides with how the system had been behaving recently, Kingsley felt as though, he would be punished greatly if he rejected the challenge.

As Kingsley came out of the portal, he felt somewhat restricted. He felt as though a major part of his body had been removed, it was highly uncomfortable but that was all.

"System, what just happened?" Kingsley asked 

…

Due to the nature of your restriction and powers, your soul is tied to your territory, leaving it means leaving a part of your soul behind

…

"That means i just felt my soul literally leave my body" Kingsley asked as a frown slowly formed on his face

…

A part of your soul, yes

….

Seeing the system's reply, Kingsley frowned. It explained why he couldn't live his territory, apart from the system's restriction, he had always felt as though he would lose more than he gained if he left.

"Good day, King [Set]" 

A voice interrupted his thinking and turning to its source, Kingsley saw a young lady who was dressed in what looked like high noble clothes but they were clearly old and too small for her.

"Good day to you as well, i am assuming, you must be Lady [Venus]" Kingsley replied as he put aside his soul problem to focus on the fight

"That i am"

"I don't recall ever meeting you or having any sort of problem with you" 

"True, i am a Fallen Lord, our paths would never cross if not for this new feature"

"So, you want to simply see how strong i am?" Kingsley asked

"Yes"

"Then let's begin" Kingsley said as a smile appeared on his face

…

Do not forget that since you have left your territory, you cannot use your talent

…

"What?!!" David asked as the lady charged at him
