"I see" Kingsley commented before returning to his throne
The only other source of information on this matter would be Euroa however he couldn't just call her over just like that for such a matter especially when considering her position as governor for an actual colony.
"That's true, i have a library of unlimited information" Kingsley said as he slapped his forehead
Focusing on his transmitter, a holographic screen appeared before him as he connected himself to the vast network built up by the Civilization crystals. He may not be omniscient but he had once set up an Omniscient network which he had somehow not being using so far.
"Oh, before that… Broadcast" Kingsley said as he hit an icon on the holographic screen
As soon as he did so, a holographic screen appeared above the Capital showing the battle and it was the same in Euroa and the other Kingdoms in the Aenon Forest.
They were nations that had being at war with the Undead for who knows how long and had lost many soldiers to the Undead Monarch so the broadcast was to put them at ease and tell them that their colonizers were competent.
The point of it was to show them that the territory that had terrorized them for so long was no more and also to solidify his place in their hearts. He had merely taken over and only the rulers of the nations knew what was going on in details but with this, they would be clear on things.
He also broadcast it to all the governors under him. For them it was more of a message to show them that their Kingdom was strong. As for why he didn't just make it a live broadcast, it was simple.
What if Athena lost, the Undead Moanrch had thousands of years' worth of experience in both combat and using his powers while Athena had barely a month of doing so.
Athena's nature as the Arch Demon Queen may have made her an absolute menace to deal with in combat but the Undead might have found a way.
"Now, what is going on in this world" Kingsley said as he resumed his search
The purpose of the search was to find out if there was an underworld or an afterlife, His search spoke of myths that didn't make sense much however he did encounter a recurring name, Mors
"Mors, A fearsome fae known for her touch of undeniable beauty and deadly touch, yada yada.. and of cause nothing else" Kingsley said as he read through the information given
The fae, Mors was supposedly the fae in-charge of death and guided souls to the afterlife or something like that, there wasn't really much information about her that Kingsley could use
This meant that she was either dead or simply missing, either way, Kingsley didn't care much. It at least proved that there was someone in charge of death and reincarnation and all that was related to it and above all, he could create such a being.
"Why are there only mentions of death and not the entity of life, i think both are very important for reincarnation to happen" Kingsley thought as he continued his search
Nothing was coming up, at this point, Kingsley was beginning to think that this world was created by some lazy God who just threw together anything they could touch and then left it like that.
Extending his subconscious to the Dead Lands, he tuned out all the other things and focused entirely on souls. The Undead Monarch was an unnatural being and just like he suspected, the Undead monarch was gathering souls, a lot of them.
"Nope" Kingsley said as he chose to ignore the world's problems
It was none of his business in fact it would help him greatly if it remained like this, that meant that in his search for this family, if any of them were died then he didn't need to worry, all he had to do was simply search amongst the dead and he will find them.
"Wait... don't lost souls turn into Undead after some time" Kingsley said out loud as the smile on his face disappeared
The Undead were considered an unnatural race because they were bron from souls that don't pass on. It was common knowledge both in this world and back on Earth.
That meant that if they don't move on then they will turn become undead and as an Undead if they are killed their souls are erased not redeemed. It was a ridiculous situation considering that only the holy or light attribute could affect them.
"We'll wait and see" Kingsley thought as he relaxed into his throne
It was better not to base his next action on 'common knowledge' even if that common knowledge came from the Natives, He needed to see it in action and unlike others, he had the Dead Lands to experiment with.
Turning his attention back to the rewards he got from the system, Kingsley focused on the item [Gate to the World]. He felt that just from its name alone, he knew what it did and how it functioned.
…
Name: Gate to the World (Blueprint)
Rank: S
Description:
A blueprint used to make the item known as the [Gate to the World]. It is an artifact that creates multiple points of entry in various areas all of the world, regardless of location.
Requirements for construction:
500,000 wood,
270,000 Processed iron
2000 Mana stones
10,000 Mithril…
…
"So, it's basically a lesser version of the Torii… the other lords must really have it difficult" Kingsley thought as he looked at the screen that popped up when he appraised the blueprint
If you needed all of this just to build an S-rank item then what would they need if they ever encountered a Disaster-rank blueprint. The Item the blueprint depicted was powerful and would indeed help to connect his lands however he already had something much better and he didn't need to waste too much resources on it.
"Damn! I get to choose my own symbol" Kingsley heard a voice call out in surprise
Turning his full attention to the source of the voice, Kingsley saw one of his Governors who was now holding a metallic object that he recognized immediately as the new item given to his Governors
…
Name: Badge of Office
Rank: S
Description:
This is a symbol of recognition from the system to the governors below a lord be they native or a player. All Governors have been given the chance to pick their own symbols that will be carved into their badges.
Your Symbols will be your flags and will be what represents you before the eyes of everyone. Pick wisely
…
"So same as the crown but that does remind me" Kingsley said as he stared at the part that talked about the symbol of one's territory
He honestly had yet to even thing about such a thing. The matter was a small but incredibly big one considering his territory. Ideally, he would like to use the Sun but that would only represent the Sun elves when he had Demons too.
If he used a Dragon to represent power then it would look like all the other races were insignificant or if he used a set of horns to depict strength or something then they would say he only favoured the Demons
If he used a tree to symbolize fertility or growth or any related matter then it was only the Forest elves. A national symbol was needed for a nation to grow and Deus was now so big that it encompassed four pre-existing kingdoms
A citizen count that was reaching almost a hundred million, an army that was still being fully established. Like the Goblins the Orcs were extremely fertile and that fertility doesnt vanish when they evolve.
The Black Rock tribe or nation alone numbered 50 million, that was not a tribe. It was afull-blownn nation and from what i have seen so far, the only thing that kept them from capturing the entire forest was Euroa and now the entire Deus Kingdom.
The Gnome Nation due to their weak and introverted nature, didn't have much people in their underground colonies however even they numbered at in their millions too because that was how nature worked.
If you were weak then you had to be fertile ants were the best example of this. They are too weak hence to prevent extinction, they are given incredible fertility.
Orcs were the only exception to this rue but this was a fantasy world and only the god that created it knew what he or she was smoking when they did so.
To pick a symbol to represent his nation, he had to think of something to summarized its entire existence and the best thing he could think of now was simply writing the words 'Deus' on a flag and being done with it.
"Well, we could focus on our co-existence part" Kingsley said as he began to search is his version of the internet, the network of Civilization crystals.
