Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 153 System delay

Appearing back in his throne room, Kingsley saw all his major subordinates gathered in the room

"Your Majesty?" Athena asked

"What's wrong?" Kingsley asked as he looked around the room

He didn't understand why they were all just looking at him. He knows his appearance didn't change... Oh wait it did.

"Don't worry it's still me... Just a minor ascension" Kingsley said as he sat in his throne and immediately the splendor returned.

His entire domineer changes making on think he was some god as all in the room bowed. The new halo above his head shone even brighter covering his face in holy light.

"My lord, I am not sure if this can be considered a small Ascension" Viktor said as he raised his head

"Its not?... I can sense it, I am still no where close to Disaster class talk more, a Monarch" Kingsley replied

This was the major reason why he didn't bother to even try to understand the Divinity, the system had given him. It was far below his basic ability and was also no where close to a monarch.

"Your Majesty, we are not the only existing monarchs, throughout history there have been those with extraordinary power that have risen to the rank of Monarch on their own

"Is that so?" Kingsley said as he quickly scanned for such knowledge within the transmitter's library

  In doing so, he found multiple mentions of them and one of them was even a member of goblin race, a friend to the Demon goblin emperor. It was surprising that Viktor didn't know this.

 "That means I'm getting stronger eh?" Kingsley noted as he quickly began to flex his muscles

Seeing his behaviour, laughter immediately resounded throughout the throne room. Euroa seeing such freedom smiled as well, this wasn't what she expected when thinking about a being as powerful as the king.

"Anyway, how are we doing?" Kingsley said as he quickly switched back to business mode

"Well we have hit a wall" Hestia said 

"The end of the region... you can move to conquer the other places if you cant go beyond the wall" 

"No your majesty, we can not proceed further than we already have"

"What does that mean?" Kingsley asked confused 

"All troops sent out were mysteriously teleported back into the territory with no means to leave, almost as though some sort of force is protecting them" Viktor replied 

Hearing his words, Kingsley immediately spread his consciousness through out the territory and as Viktor had said, he could see all his soldiers back in the territory, even the rescue troops he had sent out.

He could see the bloodthirsty demons bashing themselves against the invisible wall, trying their best to get out and continue their fight. 

The wall looked similar to the one at the end of the region. If he couldn't get through that one then he knew his men would never get through them.

"System, what is the meaning of this?" Kingsley asked 

...

During the [War] event, no acts of violence against other lords is allowed unless the lord's life is forfeit

...

"What the hell?... i thought you were supposed to be fair, so i'm just supposed to wait and do nothing while they declare war on me?" Kingsley asked 

As he spoke, the more his aura increased as all within the room fell to their feet. Kingsley seeing this, immediately took a deep breath to calm down.

...

It is a war, the right to declare war goes both wars.

...

"Is that so, then i declare war on the Human Alliance" Kingsley said now with a bit of a smile on his face

...

Regional Announcement!!

The [Deus] Kingdom declares war on the [Human Alliance], both parties have a day for preparations. 

Due to the uniqueness of the war, The [Deus] governors shall be allowed access to their troops. 

The King [Set] of the Deus Empire shall not be allowed to participate in this battle. However may be allowed to pick a representative amongst his governors to represent him.

The King is allowed the chance to bestow upon this individual any item or power he wishes

....

The system announced as the smile on Kingsley's face grew bigger. It seems this would favour him after all.

Though no matter how he saw it, the system was simply giving the other lords more time to group and prepare against him. He would say that he didn't like it but it didn't matter to him.

"Your Majesty?" Euroa asked confused

"Don't worry, the restriction may remain but it will be sorted out soon for now, i believe it would be best for us to focus on our own development, we have so much land to actually claim" Kingsley replied 

"As you wish, my king... i will inform the other kings of your decision right away" Euroa said as she she quickly left the throne room

"Athena tell all deployed troops to withdraw back to their bases, they will help us occupy those lands until we can fully claim them" Kingsley ordered

"As you wish, your majesty" Athena said as she too quickly left the throne room

"Viktor and Ethan i want you two working to get a map of the new territory... you can ask Euroa for help on that part, they should have more experience in cartography than we do" 

"As you wish, my lord" 

"That would be all then, you all can return to your duties" Kingsley said as the remaining monarchs bowed and left.

Since the system was bent on slowing him down then he had to take advantage of it to stabilize himself.

Though the goal of conquering the entire region wasn't achieved, they still conquered too much land that if he doesn't pay attention to it, it would be a problem.

He wasnt good at land measurement, that much should be obvious by now but his instincts did give him a rough estimate on how many acres or hectares his territory was.

At the moment though, he had more than sixteen million hectares to his name now. The [Deus] kingdom or empire now, was now officially on par with an average small country in the modern world.

According to the information he could access through the transmitters, he knew that this was bigger than the country, Jamaica. 

His once small nation was now as big as the whole of Nepal. All it had taken him was about twenty-four hours to achieve this.
