Chapter 197: One Idiot Can Ruin Everything

Chapter 197: One Idiot Can Ruin Everything

I have always had the firm belief that humans are idiotic and egotistical creatures whose narcissism makes them incompetent, but now I have to rethink my vision of the world, maybe humans are not the most idiotic creatures...

"Do not move!" – A general of the elves yelled at us while hundreds of archers aimed their magic arrows at us.

"It has to be a joke..." - I sighed and tried to reason with the general. – "There are literally three gods here and the daughter of a god... Are they really going to attack us?"

"Shut up human!" – The elf with fascist tendencies yelled at me with hatred. – "You humans are disgusting creatures that do not deserve to enter our territory!"

I massaged my forehead, the idea of ​​burning this forest is tempting me...

Nephilia frowned and her magic began to influence the forest, but I put my hand on her head to calm her down, I still don't want to exterminate these idiots.

Whatever, I'll do this in a civilized way.

I pointed at Silfina. – "She is Silfina Est Philianis! A member of the high nobility!"

(Author's Note: Silfina Est Philianis from Ore no "Kantei" Skill ga Cheat Sugite: Densetsu no Yuusha wo Yomi "Tori" Saikyou e)

I pointed at Seras. – "This is Seras Ashrain! One of the princesses with the lineage of the royal family!"

I held Nephilia's hand. – "This is Nephilia, daughter of one of the deities that protect this forest!"

(Author's Note: Nephilia de Maou no Ore ga Dorei Elf wo Yome ni Shitanda ga, Dou Medereba Ii?)

"In addition to them, you are in the presence of the great Dragon God and the daughter of the God of Death and Darkness!" – I showed an offended attitude towards the elves. – "Do you really plan to maintain this offense against these noble existences?!"

The general and the elven soldiers froze.

It's okay to offend the human hero who fights to protect the Inhumans, but it's wrong to offend elven royalty and true gods. Using classism against classists is strangely nice.

The general proved that his brain is just an ornament as he pointed a magic sword at me. – "Eliminate the human! He is only here to steal our women and destroy our home!"

Oh, this idiot sees the future...

Of the 500 elves present, 400 obeyed the order and attacked me with their arrows.

The elves' aim was so good that none of the arrows would hit the women around me, but I didn't even have to defend myself since the beautiful women around me are not pacifists.

A wall of bones stopped the arrows, thick roots came out of the ground to capture the elves who shot at me, and a gigantic ball of fire appeared above the elves.

As if that wasn't enough, the general right arm had disappeared without my realizing it...

I looked at Ortro who was moving her mouth as if she was chewing on something.

"What did you do?" – I asked the little girl with tanned skin.

Ortro swallowed what she had in her mouth, pointed at one of the soldiers, and opened her small mouth to take a bite out of the air. – "Chomp"

The soldier's right arm disappeared leaving a wound that looked like the bite of a giant dog...

"I didn't feel spatial magic" - Coco looked curiously at the soldier who was bleeding to death.

Ortro didn't use spatial magic, she literally ignored the concept of 'distance' to devour the elf's arm...

I smiled and patted this brat's head. – "Where did you learn to do that?"

Ortro swallowed what she was chewing and closed her eyes with glee. – "It is annoying that the food defends itself, now I can eat even if the food flees or defends itself"

It seems that she started developing this ability after the system user was able to stop her attack.

I smiled wryly, this girl is a box of surprises.

"Please stop!"

A pretty beautiful elf woman descended from the sky, but what really caught my attention was that woman emitting divine energy mixed with elemental magic, maybe she is a demigoddess or the reincarnation of a god.

The woman stopped in front of us, her expression one of anxiety and concern for her fellow elf being suffocated by the magical roots, but despite everything, she did not show the slightest hostility towards us.

"I am very sorry for the attitude of my colleagues" - The woman bowed respectfully. – "I beg the noble deities to let this lack of respect pass, I myself will take responsibility for what happened..."

I nodded at the girls and they nullified her attacks, though Coco seemed a bit disappointed that she couldn't throw a miniature sun at the elves.

I smiled politely, but before I could introduce myself, the elven soldiers started yelling nonsense.

"Holy Lady of the Tree! Please back off! Your Majesty has decreed that we must eradicate these invaders who seek to destroy our home!"

"Quickly, eliminate the enemies before they harm our Holy Lady!"

Before I came I did some research on the elves and their social structure.

At the top of the social pyramid are the 5 gods of nature (God of Water, Goddess of Life, God of Earth, God of Wind, and Goddess of the Elves).

As a representative of the gods is the Holy Lady of the Tree, Aialize Bolenan. She is part of the council of High Elves, they are the 8 oldest, wisest and strongest individuals in the forest. The problem is that 7 of the 8 sages are in a state of hibernation due to the excessive use of magic during the war while Aialize is supposedly too kind a woman causing the council of sages to lose authority.

Then there is the Elf King and although he is below the council, he has been solidifying his authority in the forest and from the reports Diedhauser gave me, the Elf King made a deal with the humans so he should have ordered the attack against my group to prevent the elves from joining the Demon Kingdom.

I hate politics...

The elven woman who should be Aialize paled and quickly spread her hands in front of us and formed a magical barrier to prevent the elves' attacks from hitting us, not out of fear of us getting hurt but out of fear of offending two deities and a hero.

(Author's Note: Aialize Bolenan from Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody)

Started a drama about Aialize asking why the soldiers attack us while the soldiers insist this is an order from the Elf King.

It was so boring and predictable that I got distracted watching the girls playing a weird card game with pictures of monsters...

"I summon the red-eyed blue dragon!" - Coco yelled maliciously.

"That's cheating neeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" – Rushia showed her talent in death metal.

"Kukuku, you need to believe in the heart of the cards" - Coco sneered.

Whatever, I'm tired of this stupidity.

I took out a sword that was a replica of the Holy Sword and covered it with [Rasen] and [Anti-Rasen].

Both energies covered the sword causing the energy to form a blue and purple whirlwind around the sword.

When the energy was enough to cut Coco's hard scales into her dragon form, I made a horizontal slash that destroyed Aialize's barrier and shook the entire forest as if a hurricane had hit the place.

The weaker elves were thrown into the air by the force of the wind while Aialize stood with no trouble, but now she looked wary.

"I am a civilized man..." – I sighed and pointed my sword at the general. – "But my patience is limited, I am here to talk to the gods of the forest and not to participate in a stupid play" L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Coco smiled and let out her divine energy making even Aialize feel suffocated by the power of the strongest deity in this world.

Rushia did not show a tyrannical presence like Coco, but just a trace of her divinity caused the plants around her to begin to wither as the chill of death spread.

To tell the truth, Coco and Rushia are terrifying women, if it wasn't for the Authority given to me by the Will of the World, I would lose in a head-to-head match against either of them.

Ortro seemed to think that she should show her power as well, but I had to stop her when I realized that this girl was thinking of flooding the forest with a sea of ​​black blood.

"Kill?" - Ortro looked at me curiously.

"Not for now" - I sighed and stroked her head.

"For some reason, I felt chills..." - Coco smiled nervously.

"Dad wasn't as scary as this girl..." – Rushia moved away from Ortro a bit.

Ortro is the natural enemy of the gods as she can nullify immortality, devour divine energy, and is not restricted by the Laws of the gods... What a cute girl.

I dropped this matter and talked to Aialize. – "I really need to talk to the gods of the forest, as you should know the humans are preparing to invade this forest and if we do not do something fast then the World Tree will be destroyed and the elves will be enslaved"

Seras approached with a respectful attitude as she spoke quietly and used wind magic so that only Aialize and I could hear her. – "Holy Lady, what the hero has said is true, besides there is another problem... There are traitors in the forest"

Does this girl know about traitors?

This is good, with her help it will be easier to convince the elves to follow me.

Takashi nodded and began to lead the soldiers.

I originally made preparations to invade the Elven Forest so I already have a plan of action, but now I'll have to defend this place while I prepare some things.

Coco explained to me that the World Tree is a living, unintelligent entity whose only instinct is self-preservation.

The tree establishes a connection with an elf woman to be the one in charge of protecting the tree. Elf women have a greater affinity with the energy of nature, so the chosen woman becomes the Holy Maiden of the Tree.

In addition to caring for the tree, every one hundred thousand years the Holy Maiden can perform a ritual to make the tree produce a special fruit that contains the laws and concepts of the World Tree.

This fruit has two uses.

The first use is to make an entity gain a special affinity with the laws of nature and life. This is a very important power since even deities can benefit from this fruit.

The second use is to grow a second Tree of Life. This can only be done if the World Tree perishes as there cannot be more than one World Tree in the same world.

Now is the right time for the ritual and that is why humanity is so eager to capture the Forest of the Elves, they desire the fruit of the tree.

I approached Aialize who had gone into shock as she looked at the idiot's decapitated head.

I touched her shoulder, but she didn't respond, she feels guilty about what happened, but I don't have time for compassion.

I used a weak version of [Sadism] to make the elf woman react.

Aialize shuddered and let out a cry of pain that snapped her out of emotional shock.

I grabbed her face and forced her to look me in the face. I already disabled the effects of [Reader's Madness] but I've been told that my eyes are scary when I'm in a bad mood.

"Listen, you are not responsible for what that idiot did, but we are in a life or death situation so instead of crying over the death of some unimportant idiot, better do something useful that will ensure the survival of your people" – I let go of Aialize's face and pointed at my soldiers who were forcing the elves into the spiral portal.

"The humans will destroy this place and I can't stop them, they have weapons that allow them to face the gods so no one can bring a miracle" - I said a tragic truth. – "Since it is useless to fight, we must flee, but if we leave then the World Tree will fall into the hands of humans, or worse, the tree will die..."

My words made Aialize react.

Aialize took a deep breath and managed to stand up, although her legs were still shaking.

"5 hours..." – Aialize looked at me seriously. – "I need 5 hours to get the Fruit of the World"

"5 hours is a long time" - I frowned.

"It's the least I need" - Aialize looked down sadly.

I sighed. – "Fine, hurry up with the ritual, I will take care of the humans"

Aialize nodded and hurried to the World Tree.

I pointed to the Goddess of the Elves and the Goddess of Life. – "This is an order, you two protect the Holy Maid so that no one intervenes in the ritual"

Both goddesses nodded and went with Aialize.

Even if the forest gods hate me for turning them into slaves, they understand the seriousness of the situation since humans possess weapons capable of harming weak gods like them.

Even though the Forest Gods are in the same category as Rushia and Coco, the Forest Gods are mainly peaceful so even if they fight together, Coco can easily crush them.

The Wind God looked at me with fear and doubt. – "Em, why only the goddesses will escort the maiden? Wouldn't it be better if all of us protected her?"

These cowardly gods want to avoid fighting on the front lines...

I smiled friendly. – "You shut up and prepare to fight or I will mutilate your bodies until you beg for death"

Rushia approached me with a smile that didn't match her murderous look. – "Did you leave those two goddesses alone because they have big breasts?"

I smiled and stroked her hair affectionately. – "They are too weak and will only be a hindrance, not like my pretty wife who can crush an army"

Rushia stopped looking at me with murderous intent and smiled tenderly.

"Wow, I just saw a yandere being tamed" - Coco looked at me in disbelief. – "Yazuka are great..."

I put silly jokes aside and started my preparations.

"Get out of here human! You guys have no authority here!" – An elf shouted with hatred as he tried to hit one of my soldiers.

The soldier did not respond and directly shot at the elf's head.

"Daddy!" – An elf girl screamed in horror seeing this while her mother wept with sorrow.

"Damn heartless monsters!" – Another elf shouted with hatred upon seeing this. – "Everyone, take your weapons! Let's kill these demons!"

I concentrated a sphere of [Rasen] in my hand and threw it at the elf causing it to explode.

"If you don't want to leave, that's fine! Lock yourself in your house and wait for the enemies to kill the children and **** the women! I don't give a shit if you guys think this is unfair!" – I yelled in frustration, this is a nuisance.

Seras approached me angrily. – "Aren't you being too cruel? They just want to protect this forest..."

I sighed. – "Fine, let them do what they want, I will take my soldiers and leave here while everyone is killed... If in the future I see you being sold as a sexual slave, I will not help you"

Seras froze and lowered her head.

A child came up to me holding a stick. – "You killed my father! I'll kill you!"

I was about to decapitate the boy, but a sword swung quickly and in a second the elves fell silent.

"You heard the hero!" – Seras shook her sword to clean the blood of the boy that stained the weapon. – "If you want to die, do it in silence! Those who want to live listen to the hero's subordinates!"

Seras sheathed her sword and turned away so the elves wouldn't see her cry.

I put my hand on her shoulder so she wouldn't pass out from what she had just done.

"You did what was necessary to save the greatest number of innocent lives" - I spoke with sincere softness, I like the will of this girl.

Seras took a deep breath to keep from throwing up.

I continued giving orders to the soldiers while my hand remained on Seras's shoulder until she could calm down.

That's why I prefer to be the one to deal with this stupidity instead of the women around me. Being an ethical leader is painful in crisis situations, so I am indifferent to the pain of others, so as not to increase my concerns.

"Hey Listen! Take advantage of the chaos to fuck lolis and milfs pointy-eared!" – I heard an annoying voice in my mind.

I frowned, although I made a lot of food for Navi to shut his mouth, this idiot has been very quiet lately.

"What did you do now idiot?" – I hope this bad feeling is just a side effect of [Paranoia]...

"Hey Listen! I prepared something that you are going to love!" – Navi shouted with joy. – "When your cultivator wife absorbed the system of the personality-less idiot, there were some materials left over so I prepared something amazing!"

...

[System Notification: The skill 'Paranoia' says you don't want to know, really, you don't want to know...]

...

What the fuck did this asshole do?!

System Goddess listened to the conversation and quickly checked my system. – "Um.... L-Luis... Please try to calm down..."

...

"Just tell me what the asshole did..." - I took a deep breath.

"...The fairy used the remains of the system's dimensional travel to form an skill that connects you to the multiverse, in the same way, the 'Hero's Destiny' skill does... The thing is... Well... I don't know how to explain it..." – System Goddess was scared by my reaction.

...

I looked at the skill and had the desire to kill Navi and then kill myself...

"Muahahahaha I'm a genius! Kneel before my greatness, bitches!"

....

NAAAAAAAAAAAVI!
