The Incubus System Chapter 1423. You Bored Already?
The Incubus System Chapter 1423. You Bored Already?
“They might use it,” I said, voice lowering slightly, “to move an angel army into the human world.”
There it was.
The real problem.
Not the instability.
The opportunity.
Lilieth went silent.
Not the casual silence from before.
The kind where her mind starts moving faster than her expression.
“Right…” she murmured after a second.
That one word carried a lot more weight than it should have.
Then she snapped her fingers.
Her outfit shifted instantly, back to something more fitting for a queen. Elegant. Controlled. Dangerous.
The room itself seemed to respond to it.
Like the playful energy from before got folded away and replaced with something sharper.
“We need to talk to Lord Damon,” she said.
Yeah.
No argument there.
“Throne room?” I asked.
She nodded once.
“Throne room.”
Of course.
Because nothing says “casual family discussion” like going straight to the most intimidating room in the entire dimension.
She stepped closer again, placing her hand lightly on my arm.
The teleport triggered instantly.
The world warped.
Folded.
Then snapped back into place.
The throne room of the Dark Dimension.
Still as dramatic as ever.
Massive pillars. Dark polished floors. A ceiling that felt too high to belong to reality. The kind of place where even your footsteps feel like they should echo with importance.
And there he was.
Lord Damon.
My dad.
Standing near the center of the hall, mid-discussion with two of his assistants.
I didn’t interrupt.
Because yeah…
Even if he’s my dad, he’s still the king here.
And the two assistants?
They looked like they were in full “please don’t mess this up” mode.
One of them spoke first.
“The capital restoration is at one hundred percent now,” he reported. “We all good.”
I almost snorted at that.
Demon realm, ancient politics, interdimensional stability…
“We all good.”
Sure.
Lord Damon nodded once, satisfied.
“Great.”
He turned slightly, hands behind his back, posture relaxed in that dangerous, effortless way.
“Now everything is going nicely.”
Of course it is.
That’s always when things go wrong.
Then…
He noticed me.
There was a brief pause.
Not long.
But enough.
Enough for me to feel it.
That shift from king to… something else.
Still a king.
But also a father who just realized his son walked into the room mid-briefing.
“Any more reports?” he asked his assistants, voice returning to formal.
“No, my lord.”
“Then go.”
They bowed immediately.
Respectful. Efficient.
They passed by me and Lilieth, giving us both a slight nod of acknowledgment before leaving the throne room.
The doors closed behind them with a heavy sound.
And just like that…
The atmosphere changed again.
Less formal.
But not relaxed.
Never relaxed here.
Lord Damon turned fully toward us now.
A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
“What?” he said casually.
His gaze moved over me once, taking in the suit, the posture.
“Do you come back after getting bored playing a good human student?”
I stared at him for a second.
Because wow.
Straight to the point.
No “hello.”
No “how are you.”
Just…
You bored already?
I sighed internally.
Family.
“No,” I said flatly.
I stepped forward slightly, posture straightening just a fraction more.
“I need to tell you something.”
That got his attention.
Not fully.
But enough.
The smirk didn’t disappear.
But his eyes sharpened slightly.
“Go on,” he said.
I exhaled slowly.
Because yeah.
This wasn’t a small update.
And the last time I brought him something like this…
Well.
Let’s just say things escalated quickly.
“The border energy between the human world and the Light Dimension…”
I paused for half a second.
“…has shifted.”
He didn’t react immediately.
Just watched me.
Waiting.
“Angels can now cross into the human world,” I continued.
Silence.
Then…
A very small change.
The smirk faded.
Not completely.
But enough to show interest.
“Explain,” he said.
Short. Direct.
I nodded once.
“Your efforts worked,” I said. “The Dark Dimension’s connection to the human world is stabilizing. Fewer demons are slipping through.”
He gave a small nod.
“As intended.”
“Yeah,” I muttered.
“But the problem is…”
I shifted slightly, hands slipping into my pockets again.
“The holes didn’t disappear.”
That got a reaction.
Subtle.
But there.
“They moved,” I finished.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
“To where?”
I met his gaze directly.
“The Light Dimension.”
Silence fell again.
Heavy.
The kind that presses against your chest a little.
Then…
Lord Damon exhaled slowly.
Not surprised.
Not shocked.
Just… thinking.
“Of course they did,” he muttered.
I blinked.
That wasn’t the reaction I expected.
“You’re not surprised?” I asked.
He looked at me like I just asked something obvious.
“When pressure builds in one place,” he said calmly, “it moves.”
Right.
Physics.
Dimensional physics.
Same thing apparently.
I rubbed the back of my neck. “Yeah, but now angels can enter the human world freely.”
“And?”
I stared at him. “And?”
He raised a brow slightly.
“Do you expect them not to take advantage of that?”
I opened my mouth.
Closed it.
…Okay fair.
“They already started watching me,” I added.
That got a sharper reaction.
“Who?”
“The king.”
That did it.
The air shifted.
Subtle, but real.
Lilieth stepped slightly closer to me, just enough to show alignment.
Lord Damon’s expression didn’t change much.
But the pressure in the room increased.
Just a little.
Enough to remind me exactly who I was talking to.
“And the queen?” he asked.
“Trying to negotiate.”
A pause.
Then…
A small, amused breath escaped him.
“Of course she is.”
I frowned slightly. “You know about her approach?”
“I know her type,” he replied.
That wasn’t comforting.
He glanced at me again. This time? It was sharper. “I need the detail. All of it.” Then he gave me that death glare. “And if you are trying to lie to me… I will make you regret it…”
I exhaled a long breath. Yeah, seemed like hoping him to speak with gentle words were particularly… impossible.
I nodded. “Fine, I will tell you the details.”
