The Incubus System Chapter 1222. Tactical Distraction Assets

And yeah, most of those glances weren’t going toward my face.

They were very much locked on my chest.

Like, uncomfortably so.

The combination of my demon hunter uniform, tight fit, and "tactical distraction assets" was clearly having its intended effect.

I kept my head down slightly, pretending to focus, trying not to meet too many stares.

Finally, near the far side of the room — I saw them.

Emma.

Ruby.

Tiffany.

They were seated close together, half-surrounded by healing equipment. The moment Emma saw me, her lips curled, trying — and failing — not to laugh.

Tiffany’s eyes locked straight onto my chest. Her jaw dropped. She blinked. Blinked again. Then looked away quickly like she just committed a crime.

Ruby?

Ruby’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Her glare was sharp. Envious. And yeah — dangerously close to blowing my cover entirely.

I walked up like nothing was wrong, putting on my best "I belong here" face.

"Hey," I whispered as I reached them.

Emma covered her mouth, shaking slightly, whispering back. “I swear, if I wasn’t in public I’d be rolling on the floor right now.”

Tiffany was still stealing tiny glances at my chest like she didn’t want to stare but couldn’t help herself.

Ruby leaned in, whispering coldly, “Explain. Now.”

I sighed. “Long story. Psychological misdirection. Tactical boobies.”

Emma’s face turned red from trying to hold back her laughter.

Ruby exhaled slowly, looking like she was debating whether to stab me or slap me. “You are unbelievable. Give back my normal Ethan…”

Tiffany finally whispered softly. “…they’re really… b-big…”

I pretended not to hear that one.

“Alright, listen,” I whispered, voice serious now, “I’m here, you're safe, and I’m keeping my cover intact for now. Just… pretend you don’t know me for now.”

Emma nodded, still grinning.

Ruby narrowed her eyes but sighed.

Tiffany just kept awkwardly blushing.

And for now?

My ridiculous infiltration plan actually worked.

Well… kinda.

I pulled a chair closer to them, still disguised in my “high-level distraction” demon hunter form. Every time I moved, I could feel my exaggerated chest bouncing slightly, which only made Tiffany flinch again. She was desperately trying not to stare.

Ruby, on the other hand, was clearly debating violence at this point.

Then Tiffany finally broke the silence.

“So… why are you here?” she whispered softly. “Do you… Do you want to destroy this place too?”

Her tone wasn’t accusatory — just uncertain. She was still processing everything that happened, everything I’d done.

I shook my head and smiled gently. “No, Tiff. I’m here to make sure you guys are okay.”

Ruby rolled her eyes. “We are okay. Mostly. Which means you can stop pretending and give back my Ethan now. Not… this.”

She motioned toward my chest with both hands, exasperated.

“Calm down, okay?” I chuckled, lowering my voice. “There’s a reason for all this.”

I leaned forward a bit, lowering my voice even more so the nearby demon hunters couldn’t hear. “Also… I managed to take over the facilities.”

All three froze slightly at my words.

“All senators are under my command now,” I added with a grin.

Emma’s lips parted, her eyes sparkling as she whispered, “That’s great.”

Tiffany immediately lit up, her eyes wide with pride. “That’s my step-bro for you!” she whispered a little too loudly, then immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment.

Ruby gave a long exhale, crossing her arms. “So… what’s next?”

I grinned. “Make a cool exit. And more importantly — an appearance.”

“Appearance?” Emma repeated, raising a brow.

“Yup,” I nodded. “In the news. Public announcement. I won’t say the world’s safe — because, let’s be honest, it’s not — but I’ll give them a statement.”

I leaned back slightly, grinning wider. “That I never wanted to hurt anyone. But if someone stands in my way…”

I paused dramatically.

“I will destroy them.”

Ruby facepalmed. “Seriously… you have to sound like an overpowered villain, huh?”

“Hey, I’m overpowered. At least let me have this speech once, okay?” I complained.

Emma chuckled under her breath. “I mean… It’s kinda hot though.”

Tiffany nodded shyly. “It’s very… you.”

I let out a small laugh. Honestly, despite everything, this little moment felt good. Calmer. Like a breath after drowning for too long.

But then—

Something hit me.

Not physically. Mentally.

A voice.

Clear. Deep. Unfamiliar. And not from this room.

‘If you think it’s an act of righteous… You are making a big mistake, Nephilim…’

I froze instantly. My breath hitched. My eyes darted around the room as if expecting to see someone standing behind me — but nothing. No one.

The voice wasn’t from the chamber.

It wasn’t from any comms channel.

It was directly inside my head.

I knew voices that didn’t belong here.

And this wasn’t the colossal eye.

I knew his voice already.

No…

This was something entirely new.

‘Who are you?’ I asked mentally, my thoughts sharp, trying to trace the link.

But there was nothing.

No answer.

Static. Silence. Like the voice simply vanished after speaking.

Emma noticed my face shift. Her playful smile disappeared.

“You okay?” she whispered.

I forced myself to breathe again, forcing my pulse to calm. “Yeah,” I said softly. “I think I need to go now. Just… some unexpected interference.”

They exchanged concerned looks but didn’t push further.

They trusted me enough for now.

I stood up, adjusting the ill-fitting uniform again. “Elenna will arrive soon. Same with Nefaris and Syntyche. I need to prepare.”

Tiffany tilted her head, her voice soft. “Will you… go back to your demonic form after this?”

I smiled down at her, gently tapping her forehead. “Of course. They’ll interview me as the Great Demon.”

Her eyes widened slightly, a mix of awe and worry dancing in them, but she didn’t say anything else. She just nodded quietly.

Emma stood too, straightening her coat. “Be careful, okay? I don’t like that face you made.”

Ruby just crossed her arms and exhaled. “Next time you see me, you better not be wearing that.” She gestured at my ridiculously oversized chest again.

“Deal.” I laughed softly. “It’s not exactly comfortable anyway.”

And with that, I left the safety room — my mind still spinning from that strange voice, but my next steps clear.

Whatever was waiting ahead…

I wasn’t done yet.

And something told me another game just began.
