Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

They even became hysterical, as if driven mad, embracing a determination akin to mutual destruction.

Because if they did not overthrow the upper echelons, when the time came to settle accounts, they feared they would not escape the scythe of sanction.

Kael could not quite understand. From the timeline, the group on the Holy Mountain of Sacred Briania should have already shown signs of trouble.

Why were there not many voices of doubt among the people now? Mostly, there were criticisms of clerics and nuns in remote regions who held onto their identities.

Whether it was Bishop Tito from the Earth Mother Goddess Church he had dealt with, or Bishop Robert from the Losanda Church.

Even other bishops in the Royal Capital, like those few current bishops from the churches who played the antagonist roles in the battle of Wandong City, Kael had more or less interacted with them.

One could not say those individuals were flawless, but without a doubt, they were worthy of respect. With his awakened Incubus bloodline, coupled with Kael's own power, his ability to observe human nature had reached a level where reading minds was unnecessary to get a general sense of things.

They were indeed a group that could be called "righteous church bishops."

Strange, too strange!

Could it be that there truly existed allies of justice with a constant, unchanging form? Or the kind that refreshed periodically, like companions of justice in tragic realms?

Of course, none of this affected Kael's animosity towards Sacred Briania.

These people could not influence the future choices of Sacred Briania.

He knew very well that within the church, which propagated the prestige of the gods in the name of the gods, once a genuine ambitious individual emerged, faith would instead become a tool utilized by that individual.

Especially the current Pope, Pope Mephiel, known for his dominance among players, whose destruction to the Bell Federation in the original timeline was significant.

He truly was a behind-the-scenes manipulator of sorts, ambitious and capable of realizing his ambitions.

Not some fabled first generation who could say to a Nine-tailed Fox, "Nine-tails, you are simply too dangerous."

But an actual entity, worthy of being called the top warmonger in the entire continent from game version 1.0 to 3.0.

Few knew about the deeds of Pope Mephiel.

After all, the time of Pope Mephiel's origins dated back to the era of city-states in the Bell Federation, or even earlier.

At that time, humans were not even considered one of the major races on the continent. Among many races, humans had very little presence, not even as much as the dwarves.

After all, the personality of the dwarf race was rather detestable.

Once detested to a certain extent, their presence could not rise. For example, Secret Kingdom was so repulsive that it became famous for it.

Even if it was just infamy, it was still so.

Anyway, the overall trend was something Kael could not determine now.

He was merely a Viscount.

Not to mention a Viscount, even if he advanced to become an Earl, or even further to a Marquis, so what?

The famed plotters among the players were ultimately "famous" only because they survived in the conflict between the two great countries.

They were accelerants in the chaotic battles between the two nations, but not the fuse, nor the direct cause.

To say that he affected the decisive strategies between the Bell Federation and Sacred Briania would be overestimating him.

What truly determined a full-scale war between two great nations was national interest.

National interest was the primary factor in determining whether the future would lead to full-scale war.

Other factors could not be said to be without influence, but they were definitely not the most crucial.

"Grandpa White, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Bell Federation and Sacred Briania. We must prepare for full-scale war.

What our Federation wants is to rise and stand at the pinnacle of the world, leading the human race to lord over all other races of this era, beginning our new epoch.

To Sacred Briania, our actions are like touching their cake.

The Holy Hall does not actually care about the changing situation on the continent, but the faith in gods among the human group is indeed much thinner compared to other races.

This means that for us humans, in terms of faith, we always prioritize believing in gods that benefit us. Our faith is not pure. The negative impact of our dominance will be greater.

Once we dominate the continent, there will be a significant decline in the sources of faith in gods. After all, humans with absolute power cannot help but rapidly breed and develop.

At that time, encroaching on the living space of other races will become inevitable. From the Titan era to the Elf era, without exception.

So, Sacred Briania would never allow us to touch the gods' pasture, for their sake and for the gods they worship. The Holy Hall would do everything to stop our growth.

If we grow too fast, to the point they can no longer control us, then war would almost be the best option."
