It still wasn't, at least before Marianee decided to make a move against his orders. For William, the act of betrayal that the concubines would commit was something he could not forgive.
Therefore, William would not hesitate to enslave them and then subject them to the influence of the Nether Stone. With William successfully enslaving the concubines who tried to betray him, William's problems in the future would be resolved in only one way.
The reason why William didn't enslave Yelna was that he didn't want to waste his time enslaving a woman who was no longer a threat. But that wasn't the main reason why William didn't want to enslave Yelna. Even if Yelna had not completely submitted to William's orders, she had previously achieved half of the enslavement effect that the Nether Stone had on her.
When William and Yelna had sex, William also secretly subdued half of Yelna's identity. But that was only half of Yelna's identity. In fact, it was difficult for William to completely subjugate Yelna as his slave. For William, Yelna is a woman who has high self-esteem, which makes her difficult to conquer.
Half of Yelna's identity had been submitted to William's orders. There was no way Yelna could betray William in the future. Even if there came a time for Yelna to betray William, a part of her would refuse to act on those dirty thoughts.
But that wasn't important in William's eyes. William's strength would sooner or later break through and reach the Formation Circle stage. After the departure of Anna and Diana, William is now starting to prepare to sink into his meditation and try to break through his current level.
The Nether Stone appeared in front of William. After the Nether Stone channeled the power of providence and gave it to William, a large amount of power endlessly entered William's body. The three circles that William had perfected in this one month began to merge and become a beautiful shape.
One of the conditions for someone to reach the Formation Circle stage is that they must unite the three circles and make them one. But this is not a difficult thing for William. If not for William wasting his time combining the providence between the Lionheart Kingdom and the Blanc Kingdom, he would have broken through much faster than now.
Anna's power level had reached the Freedom Circle stage. Likewise, Diana has power that is slightly above the Freedom Circle stage in general. However, Anna and Diana were the only women with whom William often had sex.
A large amount of mana flowed out of William's body and created a small storm in the room. Suddenly, thunder sounded from above the sky of the Lionheart Kingdom. Even Scarlett was aware of what was happening in the palace. Therefore, Scarlett decided to guard the palace area and would not let anyone enter William's room.
The level of William's power began to increase every time the three circles above him merged more perfectly than before. William's figure began to float from his seat. An image emerged from William's subconscious. For some reason, the power of the Nether Stone began to increase and entered William's body in large quantities.
Luckily, William didn't care at all about the changes made by the Nether Stone. Instead of stopping his breakthrough to the Formation Circle stage, William decided to increase his momentum much faster than before.
Various black clouds began to cover the sky above the Lionheart Kingdom. Most of the capital city of the Lionheart Kingdom was covered in terrifying dark lightning. However, the citizens did not care at all about the changes taking place in the sky.
Half a minute passed, and William's eyelids twitched slightly. Various silhouettes appeared above the horizon of the cloudy sky. But the citizens and other concubines could not see the various silhouettes behind the clouds. Apart from William, no one in the kingdom could see the various figures behind the dark clouds.
"So they finally decided to take action? That's pointless. Because this is my territory after all! It's only natural that I decide to make this place my holy land!" A roar was heard from inside William's room. A large amount of powerful energy appeared and enveloped William's body. With the Nether Stone starting to enter William's body, he, without hesitation, activated his true form and raised his left hand to the sky.
The dark sky that previously covered the Lionheart Kingdom returned to a bright state. A bit of holy and pure energy descended from above the sky of the Lionheart Kingdom. The citizens couldn't contain their happiness. From their point of view, they considered the changes that had occurred to be a blessing given by their god.
The situation in the Blanc Kingdom was no different from the situation in the Lionheart Kingdom. However, the providence between the Blanc Kingdom and the Lionheart Kingdom had united and supported each other. Because William was the ruler of the two kingdoms, he had full authority to manipulate every phenomenon that occurred in both regions.
Not a single being was aware of what William was doing to his two territories. But Yelna showed an expression of terror toward the power that had previously engulfed the entire palace. However, Yelna was the only woman who had seen William's true form in combining the providence between the two kingdoms.
As a woman who had been with William for an entire day, she considered William to be a monster that had surpassed the common sense of other living beings. Bringing together something like providence is an act that is impossible for anyone to do. Even if it were a high-level existence, they would not have the opportunity to arrange providence without permission from their god.
One of the reasons why William was able to manipulate the providence of each kingdom was that he was a god who had lived in the past. After being reborn as the current William, he decided to act more cautiously, very different from how he lived in the past.
This life is an opportunity for William to become stronger in secret. Even though William didn't know who the silhouettes behind the clouds were, he felt an oppressive presence when he stared at them.
The power shown by the silhouettes was far different from what William had felt in the past. But William didn't care about the intentions of those mighty figures. Instead, he continued his meditation to perfect his foundation as a Formation Circle expert.
The sixth layer of the Formation Circle stage was the level that William could currently reach. Having gathered a large amount of providence from the three kingdoms, William could easily break through several layers as if he were taking a breath.
Even Scarlett wouldn't be able to make a breakthrough like what William had just done. Breaking through six layers in a row was not something anyone could achieve. Half an hour passed, and William's closed eyelids finally opened as he looked at his surroundings.
Both William's sense of hearing and sight had improved far beyond what they were before his breakthrough to the Formation Circle stage. His hearing range could now easily reach a small part of the capital. However, the capital city is much larger than that of an average kingdom.
The Lionheart Kingdom's status as one of the seven Great Kingdoms was not a lowly title. Each of the Great Kingdoms had a larger territory than the Lionheart Kingdom. Therefore, kingdoms such as the Blanc Kingdom greatly desired the territory of the Lionheart Kingdom to increase their own strength.
"This is impressive… So this is what it feels like to have such power? My foundation is enough for me to fight against the Saint Circle stage experts. But keeping a low profile is a good choice for now." A sigh escaped William's mouth. Even though his strength had increased tens of times compared to before, he knew that there were still powerful experts like Scarlett.
Scarlett's strength was above the Saint Circle stage. Maybe that was also the reason why William couldn't act rashly when dealing with her. In Scarlett's eyes, William was no different from an ant that she could kill at any time.
After remembering Scarlett's extraordinary strength, William felt a sense of relief. Scarlett's strength had become the main pillar of the Lionheart Kingdom. Even if she wanted to destroy the kingdom, she could do so without wasting much time.
"Forget it. I shouldn't be proud of just this small increase. I should prepare first to interrogate those corrupt gangsters." Standing up from his bed, William walked away and disappeared through the door. Every step he took was calm and silent. For now, William could easily see and hear every conversation between the concubines and servants in the palace.
