BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 25
He was so used to the normal system ratings that immediately he saw something else; he panicked in fear of losing everything but there was also the chance that he was wrong and the stats he saw were truly Athena's. There was also the fact that he didn't fully understand this world they were in, he didn't know what was normal and what wasn't.
"Dispel" Kingsley whispered softly
In doing so, his height returned back to normal as the sword he had conjured up vanished and everything else returned to normal. The truth was that he didn't truly understand much about this planet and its lore so he couldn't say that an Emperor-level being couldn't have such power.
Viktor was known for his amazing control over both himself, his men and his powers then there was Ethan but he was a dragon so such control shouldn't be out of his abilities so it was likely that they both were just as powerful but decided to hide it for some reason. His thoughts may be childish but then again who knew what was going through their minds
"This thing is taking an awful lot of time to get done" Kingsley said
With that Kingsley placed his hand on the egg and injected even more power into it to speed up the process. Injecting what he thought was mana into the egg, it began to grow in size as well as change in colour slowly turning from blue to red until the entire thing just vanished from existence making Athena fall out from within.
"Athena?" Kingsley called out to ensure if the girl was okay
He may not show it well but this entire situation didn't sit right with him and made him feel as though something was wrong and it wasn't in a bad way neither was it in a good way. He just felt that something was missing and whatever that thing was, he felt it would be incredibly crucial to the current situation.
The good thing was that his newest creation was okay and sound, her stats were now back to normal and whatever it was that gave her such monstrous parameters was dead. the existence of such a creature though was still something that Kingsley wasn't too sure that he will accept because there should not be any creature beyond the System but he at least knew that an Emperor-level being didn't have such parameters.
"My lord!" Athena answered as she immediately got on her knees
Despite being on her knees, she was still on the height with Kingsley to show her unnatural size. her red skin shone under the afternoon sun and her horn remained as dark as ever. Looking at the girl, Kingsley felt like he had traumatized her… if that was even possible considering that this was a being built for war.
"I know what happened may have been a bit excessive but I would like you to know that I am sorry, I don't have any hatred towards you but I had to do what I had to do" Kingsley apologized and even gave a small bow much to the girl's surprise
"My Lord?" Athena asked confused
"Hestia, can you please take her in and get her acquitted to her new home" Kingsley ordered as Hestia materialized besides them and immediately placed her hand around Athena's back to help her up.

...
"Holy Shit!!" Kingsley cussed in shock
Kingsley couldn't believe her Stats; the girl was even more powerful than Ethan who was a dragon. It didn't make sense but that was what he saw, Dragons according to lore and fiction were creatures that were always at the top of the food chain, their power is never one to be messed with no matter their situation.
Now somehow an Oni had dethroned the dragon in terms of abilities. an Oni even a Queen Oni like Athena shouldn't be more powerful than a whole dragon lord. Kingsley couldn't tell if this was the side benefit that came from Viktor exorcizing whatever it was that was within her or if this was just her natural stats but either way, Kingsley liked it after all it was an extra boost to his territory.
"Where's her level?" Kingsley suddenly asked when he noticed the abnormality in her Status
Her level was still missing but now, Kingsley could say that this was the System's fault since all her parameters were back to normal including her abilities was a bit underwhelming but if added to all the basic abilities of an Oni then it is overpowered. Since all was back to normal, Kingsley could finally relax, the fear he had once felt had now vanished and was replaced with a feeling of contentment.
"She should be okay from now on but I should probably put up a defense against ghost type beings" Kingsley thought to himself
It seemed that his shield wasn't all that strong enough to keep every enemy out… well there was also the possibility that the creature had gotten into the territory before he erected the shield that covered it but it didn't matter, he will just use this as a chance to strengthen the shield and if possible, erase any other that had crossed through using the lack of a shield to their advantage.
While Kingsley pondered where the creature had come in from and if there were any other hiding in the territory, Hestia and the two Emperor-level beings helped to sort the newly recruited armies into their homes since it was getting late and there was no point to keeping everyone awake.
Hours later, Kingsley was standing at a balcony in his castle as he watched the city that was slowly forming. Districts had been formed subconsciously with the Dragons, Oni and the Demon Goblins owning a particular side of the territory, he didn't like such segregation but at the moment, it was needed since these people don't know each other that well.
With the addition of the Onis and the Dragons, his population was now over a million which was a lot and could be evidenced by the fact that his whole territory... well, the inhabited part of it was now filled up with people. His territory was growing and thankfully he had experienced rulers by his side in the form of Viktor and his past memories.
"At this point, if I don't find you guys then I'm just useless" Kingsley thought to himself while holding some pictures
On the pictures were images of each of his family members, he had created them as soon as he understand how his powers worked. He had read novels with protagonists who due to staying away from family for so long, forgot what they even looked like and so didn't want that to happen to him. He couldn't lie to himself that he could find them quickly after all who truly knew how big a region was.
Above that, he knew he would live a long life, the health stat wasn't there for show. it actually measured how healthy and how much longer you had to live, of course he had no way to tell these things from just the number given itself but he could feel that he was going to live for a very long time.
During this time, Kingsley didn't want to forget what his family looked like since there was no guarantee that he would find his family in the next region or the region after that. He may have to conquer the entire planet first before he even finds his family members. There was also the fact that this game may not only be taking place on this planet alone, the system could have used other planets as well so his work was surely cut out for him.
"Tomorrow, I should update the guns with blessed rounds" Kingsley said breaking his train of thought as he put the pictures back into his pocket and returned back to bed.
While laying down, Kingsley's mind went over all the things he could do to improve his territory's capability in dealing with its enemies. He had to figure out how to create an army that could deal out maximum damage to dark type creatures and also make his men immune to the Holy attribute.
