The Incubus System Chapter 839. Consequence

Ethan's PoV

The cool breeze brushed against the cityscape as I made my way to the rooftop of the royal mansion, flanked by my loyal servants and accompanied by my pets. The air buzzed with a peculiar energy, perhaps a reflection of the mystery that loomed in our minds after the conversation with Lord Damon. It was an inexplicable feeling, a mixture of curiosity, concern, and the need for preparedness.

Gathering everyone on the rooftop, I glanced at their expectant faces. Their curiosity was evident, an unspoken desire for answers to the enigma we’d stumbled upon. They hadn’t heard of the colossal eye either, just like me, and that in itself was unsettling.

Clearing my throat, I began to relay the essence of my discussion with Lord Damon, cautiously choosing my words to offer a semblance of understanding without revealing too much. I explained the limited information I had, about the possibility of a hidden menace that might pose a threat to our realms. They listened intently, their expressions shifting between confusion and concern.

After an intense discussion and the exchange of information on the colossal eye with my pets and loyal servants, I decided it was time to return to the human world and opened a portal leading back to my house. I also sent my servants back.

Then I checked out my partners by telepathing them. I inquired about their well-being, knowing that during the recent attack, everyone's safety had been at risk. Fortunately, all were accounted for and safe, except for Mia.

Mia's situation was particularly troubling. She had gone back to her kingdom and attempted to discuss crucial matters, including Puriel and the vaccine, with her sister and other government members. Regrettably, the timing couldn’t have been worse. The recent colossal attack and my sudden appearance in my demon lord form had struck fear deep into their hearts, causing a level of terror that surpassed any previous fears.

The magnitude of the situation was exacerbated by the fact that all the demon compasses, instruments used to measure power, had malfunctioned and blew up upon encountering my strength. The outcome? My power was beyond any previous estimations, leaving the council, Mia’s sister, and other government officials utterly unnerved.

Under these circumstances, Mia's proposal was met with rejection, a consequence of the overwhelming fear and uncertainty instilled by the recent events. Her efforts, though noble, were met with resistance due to the sheer magnitude of the situation and the unanticipated display of my otherworldly strength, and power, also my identity.

It was a heavy blow, understanding the implications of my inadvertent impact on Mia’s endeavors. The realization weighed heavily on my mind as I contemplated the unforeseen consequences of the recent events, knowing that the road ahead might be even more challenging.

I found myself in a situation that required more than just apologies. It wasn't my fault that Mia's proposal got rejected, but I couldn't ignore the impact my overwhelming presence had on her kingdom. I offered my sincere apologies, reassuring her that I appreciated all her efforts, even if the outcome wasn’t as anticipated.

‘Sorry, Mia. I didn’t mean for things to go south,’ I expressed, hoping to alleviate the disappointment she felt. ‘I appreciate everything you’ve tried to do. It wasn't in your hands, and my unexpected appearance just added to the chaos.’

Concerned, I asked her about her next plan, curious about her intentions given the circumstances. Mia mentioned she intended to stay in her kingdom for a while, attending the engagement of one of the nobles. With a hopeful voice, she wished for my company during the event.

‘Will you be there with me?’ Mia asked, her tone tinged with anticipation. ‘It would be a great opportunity, Ethan. I need your support. I hope you could accompany me,’ she suggested, her voice reflecting a sense of hope and determination.

I couldn’t help but agree. ‘Of course, Mia. I’ll be there. It’s a chance for us to make some headway,’ I agreed, recognizing the potential of being present at such a significant gathering. It was a perfect opportunity to engage with the influential people of the kingdom.

There were various ways to approach the situation, and I couldn't help but consider the options. It could involve discussions and negotiations, or the simpler and more direct approach: manipulation. With so much on my plate and many tasks at hand, I contemplated using my abilities in a way that would serve the greater good.

The engagement event would be a pivotal moment, a chance for me to navigate the political landscape, forge connections, and maybe even discreetly influence the minds of the key figures to align with our cause. It was a strategic move.

The aftermath of the recent turmoil seemed to have more consequences. Mrs. Clea conveyed troubling news. The incident had pushed the demon hunter organization to accelerate its Angel Creation Project. A disturbing ripple effect. And then came the unforeseen bombshell: a decision from the senators to arrest me, Ethan, and made me into a weapon. It was less an arrest and more of a kidnapping, an uncomfortable agreement forced upon me. I had no choice but to comply with their demands.

However, even amid the chaos, my concern was unwavering for Jill. I had to ensure her safety amidst the looming threats and potential dangers. I requested Mrs. Clea to swiftly relocate Jill from my house. She was innocent, unaware of the intricate web of otherworldly politics and dangers that entangled me.

The prospect of the human world discovering my true identity as a demon lord was a looming threat. I fervently hoped that if that day ever arrived, Jill wouldn't be swept into the chaos. I wanted her to remain in the human world, to live as a human, and most importantly, to be treated with the kindness and innocence she deserved.

The chaotic storm calmed and the immediate threats receded. I found a moment to catch my breath. It was well past lunchtime when I slumped onto the sofa, seeking solace in the familiar setting of my living room. The television screen flickered, broadcasting the recent fight with Beel.
