chapter-8

Do you know what’s the best part about Human politics?

The allies they have made.

Whether it’s the Elves, the Faeries, Elementals or spirits, they are all full with beauties.

I can see the vision of my fellow gods here, very carefully thought off.

My journey throughout the cosmos was going to cover many regions, so I decided to visit outside human ruled regions first, then come back to human empire.

And for my first destination, it’s a planet called Yenubis, where the race of yenirs, a minor race, who were very unfortunate, because, the Elves found them, and then, unsurprisingly, they lost a few rights.

Do not let your perception from stories shape your perspective of elves, sure they looked just around the same, and had magic too, but this did not mean that they were all just gentle, peace loving people.

Nope, Elves were considered fierce combatants throughout the universe, sure they did not have various abilities like humans, but they had magic, and they elves had made sure that they utilized their magic to the fullest.

Elves had the most structured training methods for their races, and each of their warriors was trained systematically.

Add to that the fact that unlike humans, most Elves were long living, with even the weakest capable of living for millenniums, they had training camps which lasted for centuries.

It was often said when fighting in close combat, never try to compete in skill with an elf.

And they had quite unique tech of their own, combining magic and technology, which ensured that despite their population being much lower than that of humans, they were not that far behind in strength.

Of course, that did not mean that they were individually the strongest warriors, because that position was held by the Dragon race, since they had the lowest population, but even the weakest of Dragons were C rank in human terms.

‘Well, this planet sure is beautiful…’ my first thought looking at this planet, the planet was rich in bioluminescence and the Yenirs, despite having a green tint, were generally good looking.

‘They are actually quite similar to the elves… actually, they are more elves than elves themselves…’

Yenirs were a strange race… at birth, they bound themselves to a specific tree, and until the tree lived, they would too.

Which means, if you cut that tree, you kill that Yenir too.

Due to this reason, the Yenirs could never develop technologically, because every Yenir was just too busy attending their tree, and no one could leave their tree in another’s care, since it basically means handing their own lives.

And, they can also never leave their planet, since they would need to do expeditions outside leaving behind their tree, and would first have to grow those trees in the foreign world so that children could be born.

Well, at least the trees species with which they connect their life to looks good.

But truly, a race with so many nerfs, they were practically there just to be enslaved…

“Lord Daniel, I am sorry we are late, your arrival was far too sudden!” It was a blonde elf, a beauty, but she seemed rather clumsy…

And, should you really address me like that? I mean, I am quite literally equal in rank to your ‘Guardians’…

“Oh, no need to worry about that, I was just sightseeing.” I chuckled back, a clumsy elf did somewhat break my expectation of cool and gentle elf beauties, but hey, she was still very cute.

“Ah, Thank you. I received orders from the guardians themselves to keep you company, you may ask me anything you want, and use my body however you wish!”

Okay, this elf was strange.

“Umm, did the Guardians order just you?” I asked, genuinely just to know what reason could the guardians have to send this foolish elf to greet me.

“No no, don’t worry, more elves are coming, you can use their bodies as you wish to as well, I was the closest to your location, and this region is under my family’s jurisdiction, that’s why I am here first!”

“…”

Alright, I need to stay away from this crazy girl, or my entire perception of elves would be ruined…

The reason I had come here first was that somewhere in the back of my mind, I had a little bit of elf fetish, but seeing her… I don’t know now…

Thankfully, it was at this moment that four more elves arrived.

“Alysia, please remain quiet. Lord Daniel, I apologize for any misunderstanding Alysia might have caused, she tends to get nervous very easily.” A silver haired woman, who was very very beautiful, and fit into my vision of elves perfectly spoke.

“Oh, so your name must be Alysia, and don’t worry about it. Anyways, this planet is beautiful, tell me about it.” I waved my hand, clearly, the foolish elf memories had been re written by an actual elf’s visage.

“Of course, Lord Daniel, I am Aewyn, student of queen Virgilis, one of the elven guardians.

As for this planet, it is one of the many colonial planets of us elves, it’s called Yenubis, and those people are the Yenirs, they are a weak and backward race, almost no mystical powers to boot either.

They have their lives connected to Sepira trees, which they bond with at birth, and the one with the largest tree becomes the ruler.

But, even the strongest of them is barely as strong as a well-trained soldier, in human terms, that’s around D-level.”

Hmm, it seems living on Earth, the holy bastion of Humanity had skewered my viewpoint quite a bit, it was at this moment I realized that what I was seeing on earth, the many strong and high ranked people there, were the accumulation of elites from across thousands of worlds.

Most races out there were actually like this one, especially those that had not left their home planets…

I had heard of an exception to that, a world of trolls which had a bunch of S-ranked beings, no EX-ranked beings though, still, they were just that, an exception.

“I see, they are indeed far too weak…” I commented

“Indeed, this world is only good to be used as a tourist spot, since the Yenirs are too weak to act as soldiers.

And this world has no resource that important which is enough to ensure that we destroy the nature here for it.

If there is one redeeming factor about Yenirs, then it would be the fact that,

When they fight, and are injured, they can draw vitality from their Sepira tree, meaning, as long as the tree is protected, they can continue fighting for a long time.” Aewyn spoke her thoughts about the subject.

“By the way, Lord Daniel, the Guardians have cordially invited you to visit Alfheim, the home world of us elves. Would you be interested in coming?” She asked with a smile.

Something seems fishy…

[Wish: I want to know why they are inviting me to their home world.]

{The purpose of them calling you to their home world is to try their chance at you falling in love with some elf girl, you are considered to be the strongest god amongst human, but are just a kid, therefore if they somehow manage to place a beautiful elf beside you,

Then you will have a favourable view of the elves, and when in dire need, they could also extract information from the woman, considering that she will be close to you, the next military leader of humans.}

‘Hmm, but I already have a favourable impression of elves… And the god council really isn’t as involved in human affairs as guardians are to the elves…

Another point is that I can just choose not to reveal anything of importance to her…

I think I can manage a spy if I know that she is a spy.’

It seems the decision is easy, and it will make us both happy, I will just choose the most beautiful elf that I find and take her with me.

Of course, this is all just to ensure that the relation between our two races gets even better, no other reason really…
