Chapter 229: Abundant Harvest
Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
The empty air and wide-open seas were the cradle of life, and in the midst of thunder and gales, the original seeds of life were tossed into the sea. After these young lives matured and evolved to a certain extent, they began going ashore to search for new hos.
Of course, that was just the scientific explanation for the origin of the world in my past life. It was the most popular and accepted of all the scientific explanations, but as for whether that was truly the case, nobody knew.
As for creationism stories that were fantastical or magical in nature, there were many similarities among them.
Every creationism story was largely similar. Among them all, “creating humans from dirt” was probably the most common factor. In New Zealand’s creationism tales, the native tribes believed that a God created humans with the mix of his own blood and red soil. In the Bible, God created the first man Adam using the dirt from the ground, and then created the first woman Eve using Adam’s rib. Noah had tossed a stone behind himself after the great flood and his son had appeared. But, the most famous creationism story of all in my forr country of China was the Asian tale of Nuwa creating humans by mixing mud and water.
In this world, I didn’t know if Eich used a similar thod to create life, but since the entire world was crafted using the four elents as the foundation, the lives here were doubtlessly created from the gathering of the elents.
And, right now, in my world, that mythical event of creation was being reenacted.
The ice mountains and icy plains began to lt, and the thick layers of ice transford into water. The endless amounts of water transford into rivers, the rivers gathered into lakes, and the lakes eventually ford into oceans.
This was to be a world with water as its foundation, copying the prehistoric version of my past world.
Sidunwar’s ancient God Equipnt, the Ocean Bottle, provided the source for the ocean. Blue could be seen everywhere, just like the torrential flood from nurous creation myths.
There was no wind, no waves, and not even any sound. Everything was silent, or perhaps I could even describe it as dead silent. No matter which direction I looked in, there was nothing but the ocean. It seed to be too peaceful.
But when the white crystal shard of the Elental Throne was added to and combined with my world, the entire ocean started frothing, with countless bubbles arising. Next, tan stone plates started slowly rising from the water, and continental lands that split the oceans finally appeared.
Everything was being created in Chaos that lacked all Order. With evolution and destruction, this land was newly covered in ice and snow again, and this fantastical world of mine was now much closer to reality.
The Earth Elental Throne’s shard was just like the mythical dirt in creation tales that could grow by itself with only the nourishnt of the wind. It transford into the foundation to control the seas. As the core of my world, it was continuously creating new continents.
Ti passed and eons cycled by. The second Ice Age had now descended upon my world.
This ti, there were no longer countless layers of ice underneath the endless icy plains. The distant ice mountains and ice rivers also had true earth underneath them now. Since two out of four pillars necessary for constructing a world had been completed, this world of mine was now moving towards reality from just being an isolated dinsion.
Previously, I could even see dinsional tears at the edges of my world, but now that the earth elent, which was the foundational underlying elent of the world, had arrived, the space had finally stabilized.
However, I was shocked by this scene.
“...I just wanted to create a small world, so what’s with this scene that seems like it’s on such a grand scale? Did I unknowingly do sothing incredible?”
I could sense that this entire world was related to . My will could reach anywhere here. It could cause ice rivers to lt, reverse the flow of rivers, or split apart continents, but I instinctively rejected all of this.
“Don’t interfere with this and allow things to evolve naturally.” A mysterious will suddenly sounded in my mind, and I felt as if so presence was watching .
I was rather confused and surprised... and then I was actually kicked out! I was actually kicked out of my own world!
[System Notification: You didn’t listen when I asked nicely. You forced to be rough with you. The server is currently under maintenance, and rember to read all patch notes while it’s undergoing maintenance. Right now, just go where you’re supposed to go. Make sure to get plenty of sunshine, or you’re going to have to be careful of growing mushrooms on your head.]
Alright, I knew that it had to be the work of my shaless System. It was basically calling a hermit otaku who would die if I saw sunlight, even though I was obviously supposed to be a direct, sunny, exercise-loving boy who all the neighbors praised for being a good man at ho and a good employee at work, with friendly relationships with everyone.
“...You actually dare to say that? There are enough people that have suffered because of you to make two entire armies. Just now, you were fighting with Emordilorcan and deceiving him so that he could fall into your trap; no matter how you look at it, you’re the real antagonist.”
The black cat on my shoulder had woken up from her long sleep, but what was with her comnting on the instant she woke up? Teacher Harloys, is your value in life to only comnt on others’ situations now?
[The server is currently undergoing maintenance. Estimated Reopening Ti: 1.5 months later. System Reminder: Don’t take the server opening ti seriously, I’m just saying it casually. Do you know any ga’s server that actually opened up on ti? As a longti gar who’s already beco numb from this, you should learn how to optimistically accept a continuous wave of announcents regarding the server opening up later than expected. What? You don’t want to accept it? Alright, you can go try playing real-life PK against the employees of that ga company.]
As always, I instantly decided to ignore my system. What attracted my attention was instead the numbers that were of the sa format as before.
[Completion rate: ?%. Fate Points: 43201]
The completion rate was actually a question mark. It seed that even my system didn’t know when this would be completed, but judging from the much slower rate at which my Fate Points vanished compared to last ti, I wouldn’t be needing to hurry and finish as many quests as I could for points this ti.
“It seems that allowing my world to change itself without forceful interference from like last ti will use fewer Fate Points. Hmm? Where did I get all these Fate Points from?”
Only now did I finally have so free ti to inspect the system notifications that had been piling up, gathering dust in the corner.
[Congratulations to Host for single-handedly slaying Emordilorcan. You have obtained the SemiGod Equipnt “Roaring Armlet of the Earth,” SemiGod Equipnt “Emordilorcan’s Wall of Sighs” (Epic-level shield), as well as the God-level material “Shard from the Earth Elental Throne.” Since this slaying wasn’t a specific quest from the system, no Fate Points shall be rewarded as per the System’s rules.]
[Congratulations to Host for single-handedly slaying a True God level existence. You have now activated the “Enemy of the Gods” series of achievents. You have now obtained the glorious title of “One Who Loathes the Gods,” and 50,000 Fate Points have been rewarded. If you equip this title, you will beco a beginner-level enemy of the Gods and will receive a 5% damage bonus against all Gods. The next step of this series of achievents is to single-handedly slay three True Gods, which will award you the title “Slaughterer of Gods” and make you into a mid-level enemy of the Gods. You will also receive a 15% damage bonus against all Gods.]
[After you single-handedly slay ten True Gods (including one Main God), you can reach the peak of this series of achievent, “Enemy of all Gods.” You’ll also receive the title “Kratos Isn’t Food For the Gods, He’s The Daddy of the Gods!” as well as a 50% damage bonus against all Gods. However, after you equip this title, all Gods will have their friendship levels with you set to zero, and you can’t hide this title. You won’t be able to stop slaying Gods even if you don’t want to.] [1] 1
Alright then, let us ignore these random comnts. It seed that I did a fairly good job this ti. The System indeed rewarded handsoly this ti and was quite helpful as well. Not only did I obtain two excellent pieces of equipnt, I obtained Fate Points from slaying Emordilorcan in a circuitous fashion. And as for those “Enemy of the Gods” achievents, they were the rarest of the rare, titles that seed incredibly useful... speaking of usefulness, I suddenly recalled the damned achievents “Jinxed” and “King of all Gentlen” that I couldn’t even turn off. The number of gentlen had been increasing more and more these days, and they were also increasing in shalessness. Perhaps, this suffering was all the result of my System.
But, right now, another trouble was before .
[Warning: Sidunwar’s Ocean Bottle’s power level is unstable. Please hurry and complete the quest to hunt down the Sea Gods and collect sea-related divine power from the Sea Gods and sea beasts as quickly as possible. This will both complete this God Equipnt’s form for the revival God Quest and help fully construct your world.]
It seed that after the Earth Elental God’s body and the Earth Elental Throne’s shard were both absorbed into my “Frigidwinter Earth,” the already fragile balance between elents there was once again shattered. Although this was a good thing for my “Frigidwinter Earth” world, hunting down the sea beasts and Sea Gods was probably going to be another botherso task.
What attracted the most were the two equipnt that I received. Real life was no ga, and not every boss would carry around a large sack of weapons and equipnt that he couldn’t even use, not to ntion dropping a few of the equipnt randomly out of a list. For a rather long ti now, no matter who I defeated, I hadn’t received any equipnt.
You want equipnt from your enemy? Just take it off your enemy’s corpse. There was no Blackhand in real life... what the system could give was a ss of materials; it rely helped save ti in gathering them.
But just glancing at the two equipnt, I knew what was going on.
[Roaring Armlet of the Earth. SemiGod Equipnt.]
[Effect 1: Power of the Earth: Absorb the power of the earth elent and increase the Strength of the wearer by 10. However, the wearer must be standing on the ground. The Strength increase effect will disappear while the wearer is jumping or flying.]
[Effect 2: Indestructible Stone: This Armlet is indestructible, and can even block God Equipnt’s attacks. If this Armlet is significantly damaged, it can even repair itself.]
[Effect 3: Dinsional Flash: A short, precise instantaneous transportation. (3 minutes cooldown and the maximum distance is one hundred ters). System Notification: Using this ability will use up a large amount of stamina. Please use this ability with care.]
[Divine Curse: Petrify. Emordilorcan is cursing his enemy that stole his power. Every second, the wearer of this Armlet will receive one earth damage. If the damage taken from this effect surpasses 70% of the wearer’s maximum HP, the wearer will be turned to stone by the endless absorption of the earth elent.]
[There is a row of yellow words carved into this armlet: “This Armlet contains the Divine Spirit of an undying God. Just touching it can make one sense this God’s past strength and unwillingness to die.]
This gray-black armlet appeared quite ordinary, and the scaly pieces on it resembled Emordilorcan’s skin. There were also two black stones that resembled eyes on top of the armlet. While these “eyes” seed to be made of stone, when I touched them, I discovered that they were actually warm and as soft as skin, as if they were living.
As a SemiGod Equipnt, its abilities weren’t that nurous, but its effects were incredibly useful. All of Emordilorcan’s strongest abilities were contained within it. Significantly increasing strength was excellent for any lee warrior; its indestructible quality could overturn a situation at a critical point by blocking one attack, and that flash ability was already proven quite powerful by Emordilorcan himself.
While that Divine Curse on it was indeed troubleso as it limited the ti that this Equipnt could be used for, since I had a titan’s body and was immune to the damage, I could simply ignore it.
“It seems that just like that God Equipnt dagger from before, my System can create strong equipnt out of God-level existences using their divine power and Divine Spirits. Looking at these stats, it’s almost as if it was custom-made just for .”
I joyfully put on the armlet and felt a noticeable increase in my strength, which caused to laugh out loud in satisfaction. Strength was forever the foundation of any lee combat class, and I’ve never even heard before of such an equipnt that could increase physical power by so much.
“Perhaps I can finally compare my Strength to Alia’s.”
As for the other Epic-level shield, it was a tower shield which could cover most of my body. Its shape resembled Emordilorcan’s face, and there were also stones resembling eyes on it which seed to be staring at . It was sowhat pitiful to look at.
When I checked out the shield’s stats, they were similarly practical. ga-high defense combined with the most practical ability of damage reduction, and even an attacking ability that could surprise an opponent.
After so consideration, I decided to personally use this shield as well. After all, while fighting with Emordilorcan, every ti I exchanged blows with him, I was injured to the point of spitting blood. This made feel like my defense was indeed rather weak if I had to face another opponent on his level.
“This was such a rare abundant harvest. Did my system change its personality, and it’s now going to help beco the main character of a harem story?”
[System Reminder: With great power cos great responsibility. The greater your power, the stronger your opponents. The System shall never make any traps for you; you’re the one who’s digging pits and jumping into them by yourself. Is it the System’s fault that you’re forever shooting yourself in the foot?]
Fine then, my expression instantly darkened. This bastard system was making it obvious that it still intended to make suffer. It couldn’t even let be happy for two days.
“Indeed, it was an abundant harvest.”
The black cat crouching on my shoulder was laughing in even greater delight than I was, and the next mont, I understood what she ant by that.
The black cat reached out her claw and vanished in a spatial distortion. What appeared before was an incredibly beautiful blonde high elf.
Her silky blonde hair was lifted by the wind, and her lightly smiling pretty face seed to be as pure as snow. Her snow-white skin seed to have a faint golden glow, and those innocent eyes seed pure enough to make anyone’s heart ache and believe that she was as pure as unblemished snow.
She was wearing ancient traditional white ceremonial clothing with a long scarf that reached the ground. Her extravagant robes seed so beautiful that they were holy, and they indisputably added to Harloys’ aura of unearthliness. At this mont, the person before wasn’t that banshee who was absolutely shaless and lacked any limits, but rather the last princess of the ancient high elf empire.
“This is a golden high elf? This is the allure of utmost pureness?”
As expected of the most beautiful of all elven tribes. At this mont, even my heart skipped a beat. Although I had seen the most seductive succubi before, I’d never witnessed this type of alluring pureness that would make any person easily succumb.
It was just like how I had been forcefully sent back to my body where I had died in combat. When Harloys obtained life again, the magic of ti helped return her to her past, to that generation where this young female elf had the power of obtaining everything through her charisma alone.
When I recalled that inside her was the thousand-year-old banshee Harloys, I managed to calm down.
She smiled ever so sweetly at , seemingly filled with sincerity.
“Thank you so much. I shall rember this debt I owe you.”
That, however, made feel dazed and angered. I furiously pointed and shouted at the elven beauty!
“You fake! Who the hell are you! Old witch Harloys would never thank anyone! Nor could she possibly smile so sweetly. Ahhh! I’m getting goosebumps all over. What manner of demon are you?! Hurry up and show your true form!”
Right then and there, Harloys was so enraged that her eyebrows twitched, but she managed to suppress her anger sohow by taking two deep breaths. She forced another smile.
“Ha ha, you’re such a jokester. Who could I be if not Harloys? You forgot already that I was the last gold elf? This form is how I looked like before I died.”
Were the ancient gold elves supposed to all be an average of over two ters tall? Harloys appeared to have the perfect golden ratio, beautiful and lively with wonderful curves, yet she seemingly didn’t lose her elegance. She also possessed an unscientifically large chest, completely different from any other elf, which far surpassed that of any supermodel’s. The most ridiculous of all was Harloys’ height, however. She had to look down in order to et my eyes when I was already 1.8 ters tall!
“Objection! If you didn’t ntion it, I would have forgotten it. Weren’t you still quite young when you died? Who do you think you’re fooling!? Order for my magical pet: strip off your disguise!”
I instantly realized it when she reminded of her death. She was definitely making this appearance up. She most likely crafted this appearance using her transformation ability.
Her magical pet contract with wasn’t canceled with Harloys’ return to life, but it was rather the opposite. Since she had now combined with Shadow, the singular contract now beca a dual contract, which actually solidified her connection to . If I gave her any order at all, she would be forced to carry it out.
“Roland, you bastard! This is my expected mature form, don’t...”
The order had already been given to my magical pet, and so, a sudden flash occurred as she was forced to return to her true form. After the light dissipated, the great beauty disappeared to reveal a blonde child elf before , whose long hair was all tangled on the floor. Her overly large ceremonial clothing was falling off, and her exquisitely small face was filled with anger and was as red as an apple. Even her elf ears that were a symbol of her race were completely red. It was quite interesting. Yep, at least to , it was very amusing.
“Alright, you’re flat, flat, and flat. Only this is believable. This is the Harloys that I know.”
I made comparisons in satisfaction as I walked around her while nodding. I forced her to perform various exercises like lifting her hands up to the sky and windmills to turn around and around, making her furious and embarrassed.
When Harloys was dizzy to the point that she laid down listlessly, I lowered my head and looked her in the eyes at ground level, before finishing by patting her head.
“Yep, the tall adult Harloys is too unscientific. The short one looks much better. My little friend Harloys, can I interest you in so candy?”
*Kacha!*
“...Don’t bite ! Hey hey, let go! It hurts, it hurts! Let go! Are you supposed to be a dog!”
“You bastard lolicon! You’re a bastard who deserves to be single forever!” A grim voice escaped from her tiny mouth, and she actually managed to even transform her teeth into tiger fangs!
Fine then, let put everything else aside for the mont, as I first needed to put so effort into removing the “gloves” on my hand.
Note:
1. Kratos appears to be a God of War reference.
