Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 21 XXI

?The system's ever-present voice answered almost immediately, and Kingsley immediately calmed down since the question has been bugging him ever since he saw the levels of the others.

"Then can I equip items?"

...

What you do with your body is none of the system's concern.

...

"Hmm... makes sense," Kingsley said as a smile crept up his face.

With all the restrictions, the system was placed on him. It was good to know that the system allowed him to use items like other people, though he doubted that the system would allow him to use any of its items.

"Anyway," Kingsley said as he simply opened his palms and a small crystal appeared on them.

...

Name: Civilization Crystal (Homo sapiens)

Rank: Supreme

Description: A crystal is said to hold all the knowledge of an entire civilization. It holds their histories from their creation or evolution down to their extinction.

Abilities:

Selective Omniscience: the crystal holds all the knowledge learned by said civilization. It knows all about them—things they know and things they don't.

...

"I don't think the person distributing talents knew what he gave me," Kingsley said with a large smile on his face.

With the crystal in hand, he could easily teach them what he wanted. With that in mind, Kingsley stood up from the chair as he made his way to the courtyard, where he could see everyone standing and waiting for him.

"Is this everyone?" He asked

"Yes, sir," Viktor answered.

"Good," he said as he waved his hands, and immediately the clothes on their bodies started changing. The maids had their ancient clothing changed into the standard modern maid uniform, and the guards had their armor changed into a set of standard military getups.

Kingsley's plan was simple: upgrade their uniforms to standard military get-ups and equip them with guns and all other necessary tools, but still he couldn't help but feel uneasy about that fact.

These people were already monsters, according to his perspective. The lowest was at level 5, with a physique of more than 3000; he may not know anything about this world, but he knows that this is definitely not weak. Giving them guns will increase their attack power for sure, but wasn't it a bit overkill?

Kingsley was nearly 85% sure that they could already take care of any threat he came across with what they had now, and there was also the fact that they weren't his creations. The servants here were loyal to Viktor, not to him, and yes, Viktor was under him, but he still didn't want to give them things that made it easy for them to kill him.

"If so, then the guns would have to wait for now; modern bows and maybe pistols would do for now," Kingsley thought to himself as he tried to come up with the best weapon set to suit his overpowered men.

Looking at the crystal in his hand, Kingsley immediately morphed it into a laptop; after all, it was basically useless to him as it was now. It may not be so, but it didn't exactly come with a manual that let him know how to use it. Kingsley may not be an expert in weaponry and all that, but he knew that a modern bow was basically a cheat in this backward world.

It had mechanisms that let it perform way better than anything medieval bows could ever achieve, so putting it in the hands of his men was still the same as giving them a gun; after all, with their strength, they could probably shoot arrows that fly as fast as bullets. Without giving it much thought, Kingsley immediately started searching the laptop's version of a search engine for the best modern compound bows.

Looking at the list that appeared, Kingsley smiled as he thought about seeing more as to why they were chosen as the best, but naturally, he didn't understand a thing so he just picked the one in the number one spot and created 12 of them on the spot. Moving on to pistols, Kingsley found the one at the number one spot and created 12 of them too.

He didn't know much about any of these things and planned to learn more later on. Looking at the two sets, Kingsley smiled but still felt as though something was missing.

"There are still those that prefer swords and the like, right?" Kingsley thought as he immediately went online and started searching for swords.

He thought a katana looked cool after all, and who didn't? But then again, it held no major advantage over the English sword, so Kingsley was now stuck in a position where he could go with beauty or functionality, so he continued the search.
