Ch.6 How Could I Not Come Bearing Gifts?
‘Month 4 of the 1st year, huh...’
In these past 2 months, Eridel had spent the time creating all non magical species that he knew of, filling the previously-silent-continents with noises that never ended.
Animals could be found all over the World, filling it with life and nature. Something that fell incomplete before.
From predators like lions and tigers, to prey like mice and sheep. All species from his home planet; Earth, were here. Something that the snake clan seemed excited about...
In fact, Jörma was able to reach the 1st stage of cultivation, growing an entire 5 metres longer. (From now on, the growth would me much slower, it only exploded like this because she broke into a new realm).
This event meant that she obviously acquired mana. Now taking into consideration that the World had no magical energy yet, it was obvious that this snake (that managed to solidify her status as queen), had not wasted the potential of her bloodline, directly converting food into mana...
But besides that, everything else was pretty mundane. Although he created many new animals, he didn’t make any of them special. No bloodlines, no augmented affinities, no nothing. If there was any talents amongst them, it was by their own luck. Eridel randomized everything.
Something he should have done with the snakes too, but as his first created species, he couldn’t hold himself back from doing something a little special.
But despite that, he wasn’t bored in the slightest.
He didn’t know if it was a ‘World’ thing but each increase in species filled him with immense satisfaction.
But screw that. Now, it was time to take another step forward with his plans. Creating the first ‘enlightened’ species. The race that will spur the progress of this World.
The enlightened species were a race that had obtained complete sapience and potential to learn. This could be something like Humans, Elves or Angels.
Evolved beasts didn’t count, they obtained their intelligence from their own abilities, not because it was an inherent trait of their species. And Eridel was not going to change that. It would be asinine to do so.
Moving along, Eridel had to choose which race came first. Angels were crossed off because he had bigger plans for them later.
So the remaining choice was between Elves and Humans.
The ghastly aura that was filled with such vicious killing intent and death itself proved all too hard to be hidden.
A truly terrifying scene.
What we didn’t know was that if any immortal or god chanced upon this skeleton, they wouldn’t think twice before using all their life-saving items to escape.
The golden flames in its eyes suddenly flickered.
“Hmm...? Who schemes against this King?”
...
Eridel would also never let things go too far. If it seemed like World destruction was possible, he would reduce the threat and all related individuals to nothing.
So the conclusion was that Eridel would leave most things to be regular. He would only change things that would help him with his goal in becoming a World that surpassed the Laws.
So If there was ever a mutative variant race of Elf, it was by their ancestors own doing.
But while he said all this... He couldn’t...
‘I can’t... I CANNOT RESIST! I must add at least one special person here, how can I not? My first enlightened species. IT WOULD BE A SIN TO NEGLECT THEM!’
Eridel was just joking around. He always planned to create a leader for this long lived race.
There was naturally a reason, and it would naturally be revealed in the most exemplar scenario. No need to even speak of it.
‘I could just create them in some corner of a forest, but...
How could I not come bearing gifts?’
