196 Chapter 194: The voices in my head are annoying...

I sighed internally as I looked at what looked like a futuristic-looking cell phone.

Unlike the cell phone that the system gave me, this cell phone was created by the technology of humans in this world and is used as a communication device that relies on magical power without the use of satellites.

This technology is impressive, but it's easy to block the signal with magic barriers or low-level lightning magic.

Monika has already stolen the plans for this device and now the Science Department is developing an improved version of this communication device.

The reason I sighed was because of a message that came to me with a photo attached.

{Amelia: Ryou-kun be careful on your mission, we'll be waiting for you here with a special surprise ♥u♥}

Along with the message was a picture of Amelia and Emilia eating ice cream with a cheerful attitude, although Emilia's smile was still a bit forced.

I sighed internally, I have to make my plans go perfectly since it would be a tragedy to have to kill a girl as cute as Amelia.

Right now I'm on my way to the Elven Forest for my first solo quest.

I was given the task to approach the border of the elves' territory to establish a checkpoint and reinforcements will be sent later to start an invasion against the forest.

The reason the Northern Kingdom hasn't invaded the Elven Forest yet is that they've been busy dealing with attacks from Inhuman scouting parties.

These groups have been using guerrilla tactics where they make superficial attacks and then escape before the human soldiers can fight back and the Inhumans have managed to free thousands of slaves who join the inhuman army.

Although these tactics do not harm the human army, they still harm the morale of the soldiers as they cannot even sleep, eat or defecate in peace.

My wife and general of my army, Kiwako Flügel Makina, was the one who led these attacks from a safe location so I don't need to personally intervene while the world's chaos increases.

(Author's Note: Kiwako Flügel Makina from Deadman Wonderland)

For this mission, I was allowed to work on my own since that will help me gain more combat experience as well as it will be easier for me to feel pure hatred towards the Inhumans since I am traveling through border towns that were attacked by the elves that seek to defend the forest.

In addition to creating a base, I have to escort a hostage that was captured by human soldiers. This hostage is related to the royalty of the Elven Forest and the plan is to use her to threaten the elves as they value lineage highly.

In order to prevent an accident from happening, Diedhauser gave me various magic artifacts to protect my life and even sent a couple of high-level soldiers to secretly take care of me.

I sighed again and put my phone away as two men were convulsing on the ground in front of me.

Black blood was pouring from their mouths and ears as Ortro made sure to reset the minds of both soldiers so they wouldn't ignore my unusual behavior and report back that all was well.

To one side is a beautiful blonde-haired elf woman who had a slave collar around her neck.

This woman is called Seras Ashrain, she was the leader of the knights of a small nation that supported cooperation between different races and that is why the nation was destroyed when the war between the races intensified.

(Author's Note: Seras Ashrain from I Became the Strongest With The Failure Frame [Abnormal State Skill] As I Devastated Everything)

Seras was not only the leader of the knights, but she also happens to be part of the royalty of the Forest Elves, but for some reason, she chose to live with the humans.

The elven woman was watching in horror as the two soldiers were turned into puppets with no will of their own.

I don't have much time to chat with this woman so it's better to show her facts.

I had Minaris send Arisa, the homunculus women, and the four elf women who became my slaves, Rutina, Silfina, Yuel, and Nephilia.

A spiral energy portal opened in front of me and Minaris appeared with the girls.

Arisa is a cheeky brat so without caring about the hierarchy she approached me with a cheerful attitude. – "I finished checking the list of series and characters! Reward me!"

Since System Goddess can now explore all the secrets of my system, I asked her to make a record of the worlds that were programmed by Beast VII, then I gave the list to Arisa to search for any possible dangers or useful things I can get from those worlds to visit at a later date.

Ever since I found out the importance of the title 'Otaku', I've assigned many tasks to Arisa to identify all the 'characters' I've been related to.

The problem is that there are unpredictable factors due to the merging of multiple storylines, one example is that I shouldn't be Umaru's brother so I don't know if that troublesome girl can end up relating to the supernatural world.

The only thing that worries me is that apparently, my mother comes from a series where she has some incestuous tendencies with her son, so it is possible that the plot is the cause that she was pushed to fall in love with Seiji... I hate life.

I stopped thinking about things that I will explain in the future and sighed. – "You are an adult woman, but you act like a spoiled brat…"

Arisa wasn't embarrassed by my words and raised her flat chest proudly. –"I am a cute legal loli so you should pamper me and give me a lot of affection… Also, we can do more interesting things… hehehehe take a bath with a teenager…"

This brat is a pervert with pedophilia fetishes, or in Japanese terms, a shotacon.

While my attitude, alcoholism, and sex life credits me as an adult, I'm still an underage boy so this brat's fetishes come out.

I sighed, a little girl with the mind of an adult and a fetish for underage men… The UN must be having an existential crisis.

I massaged my forehead and pointed at the elf woman. – "Do you recognize her?"

Arisa looked at Seras and shook her head. – "There are many elf waifus, if I don't recognize her it's because she didn't have an anime adaptation"

I expected it so it doesn't bother me.

Seeing elf women made Seras calm down a bit but she was still nervous.

Silfina is a kind girl so she went to talk to Seras to show her that there was no danger.

By the way, I recently found out that the first human I killed in this world was this girl's childhood friend and that boy wanted to rescue her since she was sold into slavery... Silfina thinks her friend abandoned her which made her more dependent on me. Plot coincidences.

As the elven women chatted, Nephilia walked up to me and stood next to me. She became very attached to me for two reasons.

First of all, she has a submissive mentality so by acknowledging me as her master she is willing to offer her life for my sake.

Second, she has great potential to become a Higher Entity, but that potential is dormant, so she needs to understand her own concept and constant stimuli to evolve.

In short, she needs to study concepts and a lot of 'dual cultivation' with me. Blessed plot armor.

I stroked Nephilia's soft hair and sighed, this is soothing.

"It's not fair that you only pamper her" - Arisa pouted. – "I have worked hard so I deserve a reward"

"We'll talk about this later, for now, there's something I want to ask you" - I looked at the brat seriously. – "I heard rumors that a group of brats created a strange club where they draw erotic comics where little girls have inappropriate relationships with a man who just happens to look like me…"

Arisa paled and backed towards the portal. – "I-I n-need to check that the list has no errors so I have to go to work"

Arisa jumped into the portal to escape.

I sighed and looked at Nephilia who had her eyes closed to enjoy the caresses on her head. I wish the brats who harass me were as obedient as this cute girl...

I looked at the three homunculus women who had remained silent with respectful attitudes.

I took out Ryou Shiramine's soul and a sphere of black blood that contained a copy of his memory.

Envy has been pretending to be Seiji so that the humans think Seiji is leading the attack on the borders of the Southern Kingdom which has given me room to act in the Northern Kingdom.

Although she can mimic appearance and soul frequency to fool even beginning heroes, her basic imitation ability cannot fool deities and Higher Entities.

Her basic imitation ability depends on seeing the person, but if she absorbs a soul then she can perfectly imitate another person and even a Higher Entity could be fooled.

Envy is as strong as a beginner hero which is a very weak level in the context of the multiverse, but it's enough for her to pretend to be Ryou.

"Absorb this and pretend to be Ryou Shiramine, inside these memories, there is an instruction of what you must do step by step" - I handed both objects to Envy to which she smiled cruelly and absorbed both items.

She does not possess the ability to devour souls, the souls are stored in her Philosopher's Stone. It can be said that Envy is a vault of souls and Ortro is a crusher.

I gave a copy of the memories to Lust and Sloth so they would know what to do.

Lust will be in charge of this mission while Sloth builds alchemy circles underground, they will make the entrance of the forest a huge human transmutation circle.

Both women nodded, especially Lust who was trying hard to hide a sadistic smile at the thought of what is about to happen.

I changed my appearance to Seiji's and gave some magic items to the female homunculus so they can run away in case something unexpected happens.

Lust looked at the elf girls and when she saw Seras talking to the women in my harem she seemed to think of something.

"Master, what will be our objective in the Forest of the Elves?" – Lust asked me gently as if she were a kind woman who cares about the welfare of innocent people.

I smiled heroically. – "Let's save the elves"

Seras heard this and turned her attention to me.

The elf girls already explained to her that I am the hero of the Inhumans and I am on a mission to save the elves so I will need her help.

Seras walked over to kneel in front of me. – "Hero Seiji, if there is anything you need from me, do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to live up to your expectations"

"Don't worry" - I smiled friendly. – "I just hope you can talk to the leaders of the elves so that we can reach a peaceful agreement"

I'm sure this will go wrong, but that doesn't matter, my true purpose is to obtain the greatest treasure of the elves, the World Tree.

The reason why the elves prefer to die rather than leave their territory is that in the center of the forest is the World Tree, which is one of the three most valuable magical resources in this world.

The three natural treasures are the World Tree, the Dragon Vein, and the Crystal Heart.

The World Tree helps minerals and magical plants grow constantly so as long as the tree exists, the magical materials will never run out. The elves are their guardians.

The Crystal Heart is the accumulation of the Spatial Laws of this world that became a thirty-centimeter diameter object. This item used to be in the hands of Fleonell but Hakuou gave it to the humans and that heart is the catalyst that allows the constant summoning of heroes.

The Dragon Vein was a network of tunnels where the largest amount of magical energy in the world flowed to the point that the energy became liquid. This place was in the Valley of Dragons, but it was destroyed by the system user and couldn't be rebuilt which was a shame.

Of the three treasures, only the tree remains, and although I can't steal the tree as that would destroy it, I can steal the seeds which will allow me to plant a World Tree in my personal worlds.

The humans have failed to subjugate the elves since there are 5 deities who live in the forest, but with my Authority, I can make them my servants so if the elves become a nuisance, I will teach them to be obedient.

With [Human Transmutation] I made an artificial body with the same appearance as Seras, then I left the homunculus women together with the soldiers who turned into puppets and headed to another area of ​​the forest together with the elf women.

"This is nostalgic" – Coco appeared by our side along with Rushia and Ortro.

Lunaris was kept in the Mythological Pantheon of Ortro as she has a very bad relationship with the forest gods.

I smiled wryly as Ortro took my hand and placed it on her head. – "Do you think the elves will agree to join us?"

Coco let out a derisive snort. – "The forest gods are idiots with a superiority complex, so the elves are narcissistic, they are not going to help us"

I kept stroking Ortro's head and looked at Seras.

The poor elf girl had paled as she stuttered. – "D-D-D-Dragon God… God of Death and Darkness…"

As expected of an elf princess, she recognized the divine energy of Coco and Rushia. As for Ortro, she's not showing her divinity and just looks like a cute beastkin girl from the dog tribe.

Rushia pouted. – "I already said that I am not my father"

I sighed and patted her head so she wouldn't make a scene out of anger.

Nephilia looked jealous but there's nothing I can do about it, I'm not going to grow more arms just to pat the heads of brats in need of attention.

Coco led us to a secret entrance to the forest while hundreds of eyes began to watch us from a distance, there was even clairvoyance magic to watch our every move.

Coco smirked and the clairvoyance magic was destroyed, then she headed towards the forest entrance with a haughty attitude like a debt collector who wants to intimidate a Japanese salaryman. She really likes to act like a delinquent…

The forest seems to have many entrances, but it is a labyrinth full of traps and only three entrances exist which are known to Coco as she helped the forest gods establish this labyrinth.

The gazes that came from the forest were filled with fear, anxiety, respect, and panic. The elves are the second race with the greatest affinity towards natural energy and magic, which is why they recognized the energy of the deities.

Although for me the deities are not an impressive thing, the truth is that in most worlds the deities are prestigious figures that represent absolute authority and omnipotence, so the arrival of the two strongest deities was a shocking event for the elves.

In addition to this, Nephilia's presence caused panic among the elves as she possessed energy similar to the gods of the forest.

Nephilia is not only the daughter of a Higher Entity of Paradise, she is also the daughter of a deity of the Forest of the Elves so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is more important than royalty.

"If the elves remain arrogant despite all this, it only means that they are frogs at the bottom of a well whose eyes cannot see the immensity of the heavens and the earth" - System Goddess sighed in my mind.

"Wow, you talk like a senile old man with no friends, that explains why you're a virgin despite being so old" – BB spoke with false respect.

"I am not old! Also, I am proud to be pure despite being persecuted by perverts for thousands of years!" – System Goddess yelled furiously. – "You are much older than me and you are also a virgin!"

BB shrugged. – "I was born from the concept of chaos so I never had an age, besides, I am a virgin because I have been waiting for senpai~ Not like you, an old cow that nobody wants"

System Goddess was eerily silent for several seconds. - "… Luis…"

I sighed. – "I will not use [Sadism]"

"How can you allow this evil creature to intimidate me?!" – System Goddess yelled with an offense.

"Heh, senpai loves this pretty kouhai too much so senpai will never hurt BB-chan~♥" – BB smirked.

I sighed internally. – "The next system user we find will be for System Goddess"

"SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENPAAAAAAAAAAI!"

"Hahahaha take that damn creature! You are courting death!"

"Hey Listen! Stop yelling fucking crazy women, I'm eating!"

… I need an overdose of aspirin…
