Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 647 - 217 Kael: Sister Franca, Please Don’t Say Things That Are Easy to Misunderstand (10K)_4

Kael made a mental note that whenever anyone asked about the Dinel Church, he would assume a confident demeanor, spinning a tale about the many strategies Flandre and her cohorts had imagined...

Ah, no, that's not right, I mean the elaborate plans that span years, crafted by myself, Viscount Helois.

Ahem...

Okay, there's no need for this unnecessary showboating for now.

Kael was very clear that his initial reason for cooperating with the Dinel Church was to latch onto their power.

And not just to hold on, but to tie them firmly to himself.

He wanted to be an ornament for Dinel.

Gods who don't promise pie in the sky and focus solely on the welfare of their followers are really popular!

Of course, Kael also realized he might have missed a big opportunity.

If the Church of the God of Literature and Knowledge had been under his leadership when choosing to join the Yibel Federation, then Kael might not just have become a viscount. Without inheriting a previous title, it wouldn't have been impossible to become a hereditary earl right away.

But Kael didn't know the specifics about the Church.

Or rather, when dealing with the Dinel Church, although he didn't completely see them as a disposable rag, he hadn't really paid much attention to the Church headquarters.

Otherwise, like the Earth Mother Goddess Church and Dawn Lord Church, which have always maintained frequent communications and exchanges, he wouldn't have been clueless about such situations.

He had been negligent!

To maintain an indifferent attitude towards a key partner was clearly problematic.

Even the corner's family-owned restaurant knows to be extra warm towards regular customers. And that's nothing compared to the close connection he had with the Dinel Church.

No... That's not right.

Kael revealed an epiphany: "The Federation really is a place full of capable people!"

Seeing Kael's quick reaction, the Lion Heart Baron finally couldn't hold back his hearty laughter:

"You lad, you're quite responsive! Still pondering whether, if you could've led this grand collaboration, your hereditary barony could've been elevated further?"

Kael, helpless, nodded and admitted, "Indeed, that thought did cross my mind just now."

The Lion Heart Baron stood up, turned, and walked over to the open window, gently reaching out his hand. His weapon, the Holy Spear Stanisol, flew from the rooftop ring into his grasp.

"Kael, how do you think your strength compares to mine?" he asked with a serious look on his face.

Kael seriously replied, "It's too far off. If we were to directly engage, the likelihood of victory wouldn't even be one in ten thousand."

"What if you had time to prepare your spells and Divine Arts in advance?"

"The likelihood of victory may still be less than one in a thousand, and that's considering the chance that you might let your guard down."

"And if I gave you time to enter the state of Divine Descent of the Four Saintly Gods?"

"The likelihood of victory is still negligible..."

"Why? Logically speaking, with your current physical strength, if those four gods were willing to pay the price, couldn't you have combat power equivalent to a demigod after Divine Descent?"

Kael shook his head, "Even setting aside that I don't really like my body being used for Divine Descent, as it always feels as if I'm being seen through, which I don't like since I don't want my privacy exposed.

But... even if I had demigod-like combat power after Divine Descent, what of it? I'm still not a demigod and might not be able to win against a true top-tier demigod.

Besides, if I truly wanted to undergo Divine Descent, you probably would have crushed my body before I could even act against you, right?! A body of the Holy Realm can't withstand the terrifying destructive power of a demigod. In that regard, I'm well aware of my limitations."

Yes, in a real fight, every second counts; there would be no time to enter the state of Divine Descent.

In that brief moment of transition to Divine Descent, the Lion Heart Baron could have already killed him.

This isn't like Magic Girl and some card BUG's new skin, which come with Holy Light and invincibility during transformation, or taking advantage of transformation invincibility to exploit a BUG.

In reality, faced with such a person, the outcome would be that you wouldn't even have the chance to initiate Divine Descent before being interrupted or even blasted away.

Kael understood this deeply.

"You've read quite a few books, lad. The vast majority of people in this world have never seen demigods in action and often have misconceptions about the demigods, who presently occupy the pinnacle among professionals."

Kael let out a wry smile.

How could he possibly not understand? He hasn't been without dealings with a demigod.

In his last battle in his previous life, the team he led, Strange Power Chaos God, also fought against another demigod and their legion.

Back then, every member of the Strange Power Chaos God raiding team had ascended to the Holy Realm.

And players like him, who had progressed to Legendary rank through the grinder of gaming, were even more formidable.

That is to say, the team Strange Power Chaos God at that time had 5 Legendary and more than 20 Holy Realm ranks.

But even such a formidable lineup in this era had shattered upon contact with the rising demigod Bone Eater, lord of the Barbarian horde.

The last battle he participated in as a player wasn't about the Eternal Legion.
