It seemed that Demon races were all suited for war, the only problem was that they were inherently weak against certain elements that the enemy may have and use to their advantage. Kingsley felt that demon races were more suited for him but at this point, he would prefer to see the light side of the world.
....
Please name your creation
...
Hearing the message, kingsley turned to the only other creature in the field that was still undergoing evolution only to see it still frozen but the red hue on its body was gone and an incredible aura of pure savagery and brutality was radiating from its body. It was done with its evolution and was simply waiting for Kingsley to unfreeze it but its power was already known.
Kingsley had to first take a good look at the creature because he didn't know its gender before its evolution though that wasn't exactly hard to figure out now since he could clearly see the large red bumps that were open for all to see on the creature's chest, the curves and the hair. it was clearly female.
"So, an Empress then… I'll call you…" Kingsley said as he began racking his brain for a name
"Athena… I'll call you Athena, because you are a war... somebody" Kingsley sheepishly said
Athena was known as the Goddess of War… well the strategic and thinking part of war unlike Ares who would have been a better pick for them since their skills seemed more inclined towards the barbarian side of things. Though that wasn't the real reason why Kingsley had given her such a name, it was just the first thing that popped into his head while thinking of a name for her.

"What's going on?" Kingsley asked in panic
The stats didn't make sense, was she some sort of being too powerful for the system. Kingsley looked on as the incredibly powerful aura vanished from her body but her stats remained the same. where was her level. Kingsley couldn't believe what she was seeing and didn't understand how such a thing was actually possible.
"Everyone stay back and you.... tell me who are you or perish" Kingsley said as his aura changed drastically from what it used to be in the past
For the first time since Viktor's first appearance, Kingsley actually felt fear and his fear became anger after all no one would be happy to lose everything they had accomplished just because of someone more power had come. Bursting it with unbelievable divine might, everything within the territory was forced to kneel.
From Viktor and Ethan to the newly rescued Elves, even Athena was no exception as despite her struggles, her knees slowly but surely met the floor. Viktor and Ethan could be seen kneeling as well in just as much pain Athena was since they were fighting the pressure brought by the aura again.
"Re…strain…yo..ur…self" Ethan shouted through the immense pressure; he could hardly move talk more of speaking
He felt like he was bearing the weight of the entire world on his small frame, the ground cracked with great force as though it was about to rupture open and swallow them all. His power seemed to be draining from him as he couldn't even transform anymore.
"Re!!... Strain!!...Yourself!!!" Viktor shouted putting everything he had as he created a small orb of blue light and shot it out before losing consciousness
"I asked a question and when i ask a question, i expect answers" Kingsley said in an incredible deep and weirdly ancient sounding voice as his body grew bigger
His body gave off an aura nearly a hundred times more terrifying than what they had felt from the Queen Oni. Imposter or not, Kingsley didn't care at this point, whatever this creature was, it wasn't normal. Every creature so far had a level and normal parameter but somehow this one had none, the system couldn't even define its stats so something was definitely up, a simple evolution wouldn't make you become some divine being.
Kingsley stepped out from his makeshift throne and immediately he stepped on the ground, it cracked giving way for his footsteps to be deeply rooted into the concrete floor below. Kingsley was going for answers and that was what he will get even as he walked, he never took his eyes off her status since it was proof that whatever it was, was still here.
With a few more steps to go, Kingsley created a massive sword to match his new height as the Queen Oni's eyes dilated instantly in realization. Kingsley had no attachments to her as of now after all she was just a recent creation, he will kill her and whatever it was that made her stats like that then he can just create another Queen Oni after all he hadn't run out of Orcs to evolve.
"My name is Athena, my Lord, you named me!!" She shouted desperately to save herself
"Lies, I may not understand everything about this world yet but don't take me for a fool… I don't know if you are possessing her or if it's just you but I am sure to find out after I liberate your head from your body" Kingsley said in an incredibly dark tone as the sword was raised but somewhere out of the corner of his eyes
Kingsley saw a small blue orb flying pathetically towards the Queen Oni. The Orb which seemed to be carried by the wind alone flew past him until it struck the Queen Oni's chest. Seeing this, Kingsley turned back to his commander-in-chief and his new disciple kneeling and fighting for their lives.
"It seems I have gone too…." Kingsley said as he turned back to the Queen Oni but got interrupted as the orb broke apart and blue mist was released from within
The blue mist immediately surrounded the Oni encasing her inside some sort of blue egg but kingsley stood watching. If the attack came from Viktor, then it must surely have an effect on her so he waited. if it didn't have any effect on her then he planned to simply liberate her head from his body, it was just that simple.
With that, Kingsley withdrew his aura but still remained standing with his sword positioned in front of him like some guardian. Following that, kingsley released a wave of golden light to heal anyone who may have been injured because of his actions. They couldn't blame him for it though, whatever it was that came with Athena was surely powerful enough to reduce the entire territory to ashes.
It may have been a powerful monster that came with the waves but was smart enough to bid its time or something knowing that he could evolve creatures into something much more powerful. Whatever it was, he will get rid of it and keep his territory safe after all he couldn't afford to become a fallen lord at this moment.
"Your Majesty" Ethan called out, being the first to recover
"As expected of a Dragon, you two should check the wellbeing of the people, I may have gone a bit overboard" Kingsley said when he saw Viktor who was now walking towards them
"As you wish" they both replied as they left to do as he had asked
The two turned around and immediately left to do as Kingsley had ordered. They knew clearly that their help wasn't needed since Kingsley had healed all the injured ones and the citizens of the territory were all incredibly powerful individuals. They were all bound to recover on their own even if it will take some hours.
However, for some reason, they still followed the order given by Kingsley subconsciously. They didn't understand the reason behind their master's sudden outburst, the evolution was a success and the Oni that was produced as a result of the evolution didn't show any signs of ill intent so they didn't understand what had just happened.
Kingsley on the other hand stood waiting for whatever was going on within the blue egg or cocoon, Viktor had created to end. His goal for now was the end whatever it was that had such power level after all it made no sense for Athena herself to have such a power level when even Ethan a whole dragon didn't have it.
"Or is this their true power?" Kingsley questioned himself in a playful manner
He knew that there was no way that this would be the standard power for an emperor level creature after all Viktor and Ethan were born with lesser stats than this absurd one. There also no amount of control one could achieve over their abilities that would allow them reduce their abilities to such a level as soon as they are born.
"But this is a fantasy realm" Kingsley continued with the train of thought and was now a bit more serious with it
