Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!
Chapter 974 272: The Monarchs' Council Continues, a Plan Spanning Over Six Centuries (10K)
"First and foremost... anyone present today who wishes to voluntarily give up this opportunity and plans to leave must be prepared for the decision of having their memory erased by us.
Rest assured, Mr. Bartlet is very skilled in this area, ensuring that your memories are painlessly removed and a different memory is fabricated.
There's no need for anyone to worry that Bartlet will tamper with your souls, as everyone present is watching. The purpose is singular, and we are not siding with Bartlet; we will not allow him to do any extra tricks.
This includes the newly promoted little Helois as well. You all understand this, don't you?"
A Magic Monarch from the Wilderness cast a flickering glance, gripping the magic wand tightly in his hand. Clearly, if something were to go wrong, he would immediately attack all the surrounding Magic Monarchs.
Because everyone is aware that if the events that happen in this meeting room today are exposed, they are all likely to face major trouble.
Kael reached out his fingers, gently tapped the table, and raised a smile, saying:
"Everyone, please determine your positions as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."
The crowd exchanged glances, their eyes falling on Bartlet. Bartlet shrugged, with a nonchalant look, saying:
"It all depends on how much trust you have in us."
The Magic Monarchs exchanged glances again, and it was the Old Dragon King who spoke first. He seemed to have been mentally prepared for this day for a long time, casually saying:
"Little Bartlet, cut the nonsense, produce your Akasha Contract. Without the signing of the Akasha Contract, no matter how nice the words spoken by everyone present, none are trustworthy.
Might as well just kill them all!"
When the Old Dragon King said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The Akasha Contract is another reverse application of manipulation by the Bartlet Monarch. Simply put, in the worldview of Manipulation Mages, all things in the world have corresponding Spiritual Body Worlds, countless of which are interwoven to eventually form a unique mental world known as the [Akasha Subconscious Sea].
As long as you can successfully locate and control the Spiritual Body Worlds of all things in the [Akasha Subconscious Sea], you can directly govern natural phenomena.
Based on this concept, the special power formed is that of Bartlet Monarch's domain.
Regarding the Akasha Contract, Kael had once heard about its effect during a casual chat with the Bartlet Monarch. Essentially, it is a reverse application of the ultimate goal of the manipulation system: [control over all things].
Simply put, from initially controlling the Spiritual Body World of all things yourself, it becomes allowing all things to control your own Spiritual Body World, realized by the participants of the [Akasha Contract] pledging together under the witness of the [Akasha Subconscious Sea].
In this way, if someone breaches the [Akasha Contract], the backlash will be proactively executed by the [Akasha Subconscious Sea].
The final result could involve the collapse of the Spiritual Body World, leading to the soul being wiped out, which is considered minor; with a little carelessness, the retaliation initiated by the Subconscious Sea could directly affect all one's bloodlines, which would be truly catastrophic.
Now, the Old Dragon King is demanding Bartlet have everyone present sign the [Akasha Contract], effectively cutting off all their retreats.
Under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to sign a contract that results in death upon breach.
Hmm... this is an abnormal situation now.
In this state, the Magic Monarchs present exchanged glances. Some frowned, some sighed, some looked serious, and some appeared relieved, even going without hesitation to Bartlet and planting a trace of their Power of Soul into the [Akasha Contract] condensed by Bartlet's domain.
Perhaps seeing more and more Magic Monarchs directly imprint their names on the contract, the remaining ones grew even more serious. More and more Magic Monarchs who had signed the contract pointed their magic wands in the direction of those who hadn't, ready to take action at any moment.
In fact, now there are over 20 Magic Monarchs in the meeting room who have expanded their domains, ready to attack those who have not signed at any time.
"Let me first ask a question, and decide whether to sign the contract based on the situation. After all... I can't gamble the future of my country once again on the scales."
A Magic Monarch sighed, looking at Kael:
"The first question, Helois Monarch, please swear to the Akasha Subconscious Sea that in executing this plan, you have not been influenced by the Succubus Queen and are acting solely based on your own will."
Kael shrugged, saying: "I swear in the name of Kael.D.Helois, this time in gathering numerous Magic Monarchs to execute related decisions, I have not been influenced by any outsiders. I merely stumbled upon the truth of the goblin empire's destruction and, to be cautious, plan to first establish a strategic cooperation agreement with you all."
That Magic Monarch let out a long sigh, a calm look coming over his face, and he softly said to those around him:
"Very well, this is good. I will sign this contract."
