“As expected of the kingdom’s strongest genius who defeated King Landhar III. It’s my honor to be able to participate in such a meeting.”
A man standing behind Macrotov, who had been upgraded to the starlight tier with the death-elemental magical source, muttered in a low voice with excitement.
His name was Louis, and he was 33 years old that year. He was a member of the Sage Association under Macrotov’s management. His ancestor was a count. Even though his title was not significant, it was not small. In addition, he looked quite promising. He had inherited his family’s property and managed the family in an orderly manner at his age.
He was considered an ordinary member of Macrotov’s group. So, he was surprised by the scene in front of him.
When he was young, he had heard his ancestors tell him stories about the Holy Dragon Kingdom. His father and grandfather were the kingdom’s civil servants. They had the honor of accompanying two generations of kings, and there he was in the third era. Every time he heard his parents tell him about the previous kings’ glorious deeds and how they had expanded their territories in the past, he felt his blood boil.
The kingdom had entered a stable period. The other kingdoms looked around the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but they did not dare attack them anytime soon. No one knew what King Landhar III was thinking every day. No one dared to guess. Louis thought he would never see the Holy Dragon Kingdom go on an expedition to other kingdoms and recreate the virtuous king’s glorious scene.
However, he learned that he was wrong.
Something more powerful than what he thought was happening had happened. The new king, Watson, was conferring a god.
No one had heard of such things, let alone seen it.
After other kings obtained a victory, they would give lands or titles of nobility. Who would give out divinity? Throughout history, only Watson had been able to do so. Even though an ordinary civil official like him had obtained the power of a god, more than a hundred people were standing in the meeting room. All of them had been given the starlight tier power by Watson. However, the number of people who could obtain the title of a god was less.
Louis did not care about those people. He was already satisfied with obtaining everything in front of him.
Looking back, who would have predicted that he would be able to perform such feats in the future? He might have gone home and proudly told his forefathers that it was the best era, bragging of the honor he had acquired from Watson. Similarly, he could boast to his descendants that he had lived in that era and witnessed firsthand how unusual it was for Watson to give out his gifts.
There were a lot of people who thought the same way Louis did. Some of them were in the groups because they were forced to rely on Watson due to the orders from their immediate superiors. However, they had changed their opinions, and what Watson was doing to them was nothing short of a miracle. They would do everything for Watson just to get more similar gifts.
…
“Phew.”
Watson wiped the sweat off his forehead. The golden crown floating above his head had become a little dim. Using the power of supernatural acceleration could expand one’s power infinitely, allowing others to become gods within a short period. However, that did not mean that it would not consume a lot of his energy.
After spending half an hour, he had raised all the high-ranking people in the Holy Dragon Kingdom to the level of gods.
Those people included the prime minister, Macrotov, who he also granted the title of God of Death. He would be in charge of the Kingdom of Kings. Then, it was the Death Dragon King, Nidhogg, who he had granted the title of Dragon God to control the dragon race. He had also awarded the Elven King the title of God of the Elves and the queen of the sea folks, Poseidon, who made the God of the Sea.
Watson also granted his eldest brother, Vincent, the title of God of War. He would temporarily manage the Kingdom of Kings’ military affairs. His second sister, Nindy, was the God of Magic and held the kingdom’s chief mage position. His third and fourth brothers were the Gods of Commerce, responsible for protecting the merchants in the kingdom and redefining the kingdom’s commercial norms.
Initially, he had wanted to appoint Nia as the God of Angels. Still, after thinking about Mount Creation, the people had already fused with the angel race and other races, becoming new humans. Nia had no more pure angels to lead, so he did not do it.
There were still some gods that he could only confer titles on after the kingdom temporarily went on the right track, so those gods that he had conferred were all of them.
“Everyone there has already reached god-tier. The conferment ceremony ends here. Those who have just been conferred the title of god will start working later! The prosperity of the Kingdom of Kings will depend on you. Oh, right, I still have something to announce.”
Watson looked around and only spoke slowly when he realized that everyone’s eyes were on him. “I want to abolish all the aristocracy and lords in the kingdom. The kingdom will absorb all the land owned by them. Only the gods will be qualified to enjoy a piece of land.”
Watson had planned to eliminate the aristocracy before becoming king. Since ancient times, any force that separated the lands and had its own military troops was doomed to clash with other groups and cause turmoil. As a result, it was better to return the land to the kingdom.
Allowing them to coexist with humans generated more issues than benefits due to variations in their life habits.
As a result, it was preferable to give those three races their own region for the time being. That was also why he bestowed the title of god to the leaders of those races.
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid it’s not too appropriate.”
Macrotov, who was standing in front of the many lords and ministers in the conference chamber, stopped for a while with an awkward expression on his face after hearing his comments.
His words were thought to be tactful. “Watson, what do you mean by that?” A man behind the Saint Laurent family could not help but ask. “Should the nobles and lords be abolished? We have no objections if the Campbell and the Ptolemy family’s territories and titles are abolished too, but how can the titles of the Saint Laurent Family be abolished as well? We have assisted you. Furthermore, you have just bestowed so many titles on so many gods, yet you have not bestowed any titles on Nia. She is the reincarnation of a deity and a god in her own right. Is she not deserving of honor?”
“Father, please don’t make things difficult for Young Master Watson.”
Nia talked calmly while placing her hands on her lower abdomen. She made no complaint about the fact that Watson did not bestow a title on her or provide her with any other perks other than elevating her body’s strength to the starlight-tier. That was because, after spending so much time with Watson, she realized he was a person who was very clear about rewards and punishments. He would never owe her anything on purpose. He must have a purpose for doing so.
Even if Watson did not give her any rewards, it was not a big deal. She had already made up her mind to follow that young man. As long as she could stay by his side, it would be enough for her.
Nia, on the other hand, was unconcerned about it. Gabrielle, her father, was unique. He had an angry expression on his face.
“Are you anxious?”
“How can they not be anxious? Their Saint Laurent family endured the pressure to help you. Who would have thought that they would end up like our Campbell Family? ”
Ptolemy and the Campbell families’ patriarchs, who were standing outside the conference table, were gloating. Watson had only recently assisted them in raising their power to the level of a god. They were deafeningly silent about Watson’s proposal to deprive them of their titles and fiefs. Watson could murder them with the flick of a single finger. He did not oppose them when they chose to assist King Landhar III. Instead, he had already done everything he could to give them authority.
They had already begun to succumb. They were a little disappointed that they had made the wrong decision back then. After witnessing the Saint Laurent family, who was also one of the three great families, suffer defeat, the envy in their hearts had faded considerably; it had been replaced by joy.
They were losers. The Saint Laurent family, who had succeeded, had the same fate as them. So, what was the point of not helping Watson?
“Sir, don’t be anxious. Let me finish. ”
Watson’s fingers knocked against the table, and the resulting sound drowned out the mocking voices of the two families. “My father was descended from the Saint Laurent family. They are of the same blood as I am. In other words, the Saint Laurent family is the Kingdom of Kings’ royal family. You may have lost your original territory, but you have received the entire kingdom’s land.”
His remarks softened Gabriel’s and the Saint Laurent family members’ faces. “Are you still mocking me?” Gabriel snorted.
The members of the two families were rendered speechless. At that moment, Watson’s voice sounded again.
“However, becoming a royal family does not grant the Saint Laurent family unlimited access to the territory. Even royal family members must seek my approval before using the land! Later, I shall create and proclaim a new law. At the time, whether you were a member of the royal family or a commoner, if you broke the law, you would be punished the same way, even if it were me. Similarly, jobs in the kingdom will be filled by people of aptitude rather than people of high status. This kingdom will become a utopia for those who have abilities and torment those who do not. Please try your best, everyone.”
Watson’s mouth curved upward as he watched everyone’s expressions of surprise. He instantly remembered a prominent figure from his past life saying, “These are the finest of times and the worst of times..” It was up to the people to determine how the times would be.
