Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 517 - 196: Kael Blessed by Divine Descent, Elanna’s Sword Dance, The Beginning of Ascension! (10K)_3
"Robert, what brings you to contact me today? Are you here to taste the fried rice made from the first harvest of autumn's rice?"
"Tetu, my old friend, I heard from the priests that you handed your holy emblem to Baron Helois. How is your relationship with Baron Helois?"
Hearing the voice of the Cardinal of the Lord of Dawn, Bishop Tetu of the Earth Mother Goddess Church felt a bit surprised:
"Why do you need anything from Kael? Let me make it clear, that child is quite good. Don't cause trouble because of what happened with Anthony years ago."
Cardinal Robert shook his head and said, "No, that matter is in the past. The child should start a new chapter in life now."
Saying this, Robert revealed a bright smile and said to Bishop Tetu through the communication crystal,
"Regarding that matter, you should already know, Tetu, my dear friend, if you are familiar with that child, please introduce me."
"No other intentions."
Robert shook his head helplessly, "I just wanted to meet the child. You acting as a mediator can help avoid some conflicts, giving both sides a way out."
"Heh, the Lord of Dawn's divine favored, appearing in an incubus half-breed. Your hearts might not feel so well," Tetu laughed gently but asked sharply.
"Old friend, your words are still so piercing. The choices made by my Lord will not shake our firm faith.
Old friend, if faith wavers in the face of conflict, it cannot be called faith. Faith does not judge right or wrong, even if there is a sea of fire ahead, as long as we believe the path chosen by my Lord is right, we will follow him into it.
So, since my Lord chose Kael, I am willing to place my trust in Kael. It isn't about race or right and wrong. As long as he believes he is the chosen one, that's enough."
Robert's deep eyes reflected a mystique incomprehensible to ordinary people. Bishop Tetu snorted and said,
"Bishop Robert, I hope you can face your country and compatriots with the same attitude you have towards the god you trust.
Your way of faith is too dangerous!"
Robert nonchalantly said, "Years ago, when the Abyss Gate opened and countless demons surged from it, fire and war spread across countless lands.
At that time, as I lay dying, I prayed desperately to the gods. Only my just and merciful Lord responded. From that moment, I swore to uphold my Lord's justice with the glory of my life until this body decays and fades away.
Enough, there's no sense in dwelling on such old topics."
...
Kael did not know that his small action had drawn the attention of some special individuals in the Royal Capital.
He only felt that the cost needed to condense a spiritual power seed was far too high.
Having half of his spiritual power drained all at once was an amount far beyond the limit of what an ordinary mage could achieve.
This was mainly because his Totem Power skill level was relatively low.
Totem Power was an exceedingly complex energy that required conversion to be used.
Originally, there were remnants of half-flesh, half-energy totem essence within the patterns of Kael's Life Treasury. By using totem essence as an intermediary, Kael could directly convert spiritual power into corresponding Totem Power.

However, the Totem Power derived from such conversion would carry the original power of the totem essence. The true control over the Shadow Wolf, Moon Howling Lion, Gluttonous Slime, and Huge Hoofed Deer was derived from the hidden power within the original totem remains.
Kael essentially created a device to utilize the Totem Power as electrical energy without being able to wield it without the device's help.
This was why Kael decided to crush the totem essence along with the divine favored power the Four Gods bestowed upon it when the essence started functioning beyond his control for unknown reasons.
He feared that if he did not find another way to limit these powers, he might become enslaved by them.
This was a fate Kael could not accept.
Therefore, despite the original totem essence being more efficient in converting totem power, Kael was now more content with the vastly diluted Totem Power·Basic.
Previously, Totem Power could not form protection nor influence beings outside the destroyed Totem World.
At best, it utilized the inherent traits of the Gluttonous Slime and the System panel's influence to indirectly affect the symbiotic rangers.
But now, although the converted Totem Power was less, Kael could feel he could use Totem Power to turn non-Totem World monsters into creatures under his control.
