Deus: We are all Lords

Of course, he didn't have to die but it was the most efficient way of making him put in more than a hundred percent effort into the training. Focusing on the next part which was spear training, Kingsley equipped the spear and got ready.

His goal was simple and that was to acquire the [Master of the Combat Arts] skill that practically everyone in the territory had. The skill may not be used often because of their long-range weaponry and all but he knew how dangerous the skill was.

The skill was basically the type of skill you would expect a psychotic Krav Maga expert to have. From what he could gather, it provided the weaknesses of the opponent's techniques, the weak points in the body and more.

Basically, KravMaga or Silat cranked up to a billion and they are allowed access to weapons of all kinds. Hours passed as the training continued with each round being with a different weapon or style of combat.

State of Euroa

The Elven capital was quiet as usual with all the Elves going about their day. Unlike usual though various taller and even more powerful beings could be seen walking by while carrying weapons, the Elves knew nothing about.

The High Elves had settled into the city nicely, the schools and other facility were either fully set up or currently under construction. The people were still not used to the existence of these higher lifeforms in their nation but they had no say in the matter.

Neither could they even protest it after all to them the High Elves were messengers of people of the Gods. Sitting on her wooden throne, Euroa observed all quietly.

"My Lady, as per his majesty's request the artisans are currently on their way to the Capital however the schoo…" The official trailed off drawing Euroa's attention

"What is it?" Euroa asked

"Nothing my queen, i just felt that my powe…" The Official tried to explain only to suddenly drop to the floor unconscious

*Thud*

Multiple thuds were heard before Euroa could even move. All her guards and the officials in the room were all dropping to the floor like flies. Alert, Euroa immediately spread her aura to search for the one behind such an attack but she found no one

"What's going… that's impossible!" Euroa shouted as she tried to attend to the fallen officials

She noticed a red glow appear on their bodies which she immediately recognized. It was something she had seen a lot in the past however it was never on this scale. No… she had seen such a thing on a scale this large

"Did he do this?" Euroa questioned herself as she observed her people

Spreading her consciousness throughout the entire city, she saw all her citizens on the floor and all of them had the same red glow on their bodies.

The red glow of life.

All of them were evolving!

Looking closer, she noticed all the High Elves who were on their knees and had their heads down. Without even further investigation, Euroa knew who had done this… naturally she could already guess it was him but things were always different with a confirmation.

"Thank you, your majesty" Euroa said as she bowed in the direction of the capital

She knew her new king was capable of such things from the news that reached her that forced her to surrender but seeing it in action was a whole different thing. She knew how different it was to meet the requirements to evolve was talk less surviving the event itself but now, all of her people were being evolved forcefully and none of their lives were threatened.

All over the kingdom, a similar scene could be seen be it the High Orcs or the Dwarves, all of them fell into a brief hibernation as their evolution began. However, a very noticeable effect in all these was that those who underwent an evolution were all those who had yet to reach the Disaster rank.

Despite the system's rewards which clearly stated that all will be evolved by one rank, every citizen of the capita could be seen moving around as usual as though nothing was happening, it was as though all those who had reach the Disaster rank had reached the end of the evolutionary ladder.

Kingsley himself, the lord of the entire kingdom didn't pay much attention to any of this in fact he could care less about it. At this point, it wouldn't be wrong to say that evolution was one of the easiest thing to do in his territory.

Above all, all of them were only evolving into the S-rank which meant that they had a very long way to go before he could even begin to acknowledge them as powerful.

Kingsley ignored it all and focused more only on his training, it was more important and though it may prove useless in the future, he felt he should at least do it.

"If only the system allows me to use my abilities on myself" Kingsley lamented before everything went dark for what was probably the 50th time today

Change of POV

Unknown Location.

High in the air above a forest, a dragon could be seen floating above a small clearing. The dragon had purple scales and small horns above its head.

The mighty dragon set its sights on a set of what looked like mud huts as it unleashed its purple breath upon its inhabitants. Screams filled the air as various small green humanoid creatures could be seen running for their lives

Spears and arrows could be seen flying into the air to attack the dragon only for them to bounce off the dragon's scales leaving not even a scratch behind.

"Where are the earth dragons?" An ancient sounding voice asked

"On their way" a voice replied as a blue dragon flew past the purple one, heading towards a group that had ran towards the river in the distance.

The purple dragon unleashed its breath upon the small village, its poisonous breath melting all that within the vicinity. On the ground, a group of dragons could be seen crawling towards the village as the purple dragon stopped its breath.

The dragons burrowed into the earth to avoid the poisonous mist that filled the village as they dug their way into the homes of the little creatures, Blood flowed like a river as a deathly aura filled the land

"The village is clear, let's go home" The Purple dragon said after giving its work a good look

"I found two mana stones here, who knew Gnomes could get their hands on anything like these" One of the Earth dragons said as it showed off the two small rocks in its hands

"They're Gnomes not goblins… they may not be strong but they at least have the intellect to protect themselves" The Blue dragon chimed in

"Well, you can see how well that worked for them" The Purple dragon said as they all laughed

The group took to the skies or burrowed as fast as they could as they all headed home. Several minutes later, they could be seen floating or walking towards a large stone wall that stretched on for a few acres.

"Do you see the thunder bird nest on the way back here" one of the dragons asked as they strolled into the territory

As they approached the gates, it opened up almost as though it was automatic however looking closer, they could see a small being walk out of the territory

"Master!" The dragons all greeted as they bowed their heads a bit in respect

"Rise up… you guys have done well, this is the fifteenth village, we have taken so far" The being said with a wide smile on its face

…

Congratulations to Lord [Li Ye] on conquering a small Gnome Village. The rewards are as follows

+15 reputation value

+13 Lord Points

+2 Mana stones

+1 Plot to territory size

All tangible rewards have been placed in your inventory

…

A system message appeared as the smile on the man's face got even wider. He knew the village was small when he sent his dragons to attack it but yet it gave a lot of rewards.

"Sir the thunder birds seem to have started moving, how about we attack them first" The purple dragon suggested

"Not yet, Turs… you guys are only around level 20 now" The being said as he focused on the spoils, he had received

…

Rewards for the Kingdom in general are as follows.

Over all Level increase +20

S-rank Blueprint [Gate to the world]

+10,000 reputation value

…

"What the actual fuck" Li ye screamed in frustration as he threw the mana stones in his hands on the floor

It was starting to feel as though the system was biased towards this lord [Kingsley], the rewards weren't even comparable. How does he conquer an entire village of mini engineers with loaded traps and all but he only receives one plot of land
