Chapter 38. Flowering (a) city.
Well, let's just say that this mission was quick and painless... for me at least, dunno about the ones that were used for exp, probably not so, anyway with the job mostly done, it was only a matter of time before the spell effects kick in, and cookies got cooked. From now on cookies are the embodiment of Evil, and I mean it! More than five hours of constant stream of cookies out of the factory, almost five tons of wheat flour as well as around a ton of NUTS, which almost... ahem. Right, so this stuff was finished, and so I could finally get a breather. No seriously, it's even worth than being a slave of megacorporation, not like I know how it is, but still it can't be that bad as cooking for Mr Peanuts!
Right, so with most of the... I already said that, huh? Well anyway with me being me, I decided to end the rest of the living by starting using my nature magic, and let me tell you, those driads are LIE! They are just like treants, and not-
Triffid Queen (sapling)
HP ???/???
MP 310/310
Oh, that explains... nothing. Why would triffid look like some sort of hybrid between ent, dryad and Alien? That doesn't explain it at all!
“... g... s...”
What was that?
“... good... soil...” Okay, and what the hell was that?
“Soil?”
“Someone... is... near... my... home? Food?”
“I am the one who brought thou upon this soil, and fertilized it.”
“I... was... always... here... I... just... understand... more...”
“Nah, I mean I was the one, well there were two of us actually, who gave you the-”
“Two... one... what... is... it?”
“Ok... you have what type of intelligence? Childlike? Whatever the case, do you know what garden is?”
“I... do... not...”
“Well, that's simple, you'll have a lot of similar creatures like you in it, as well as creatures from different species. You'll get-”
“Food? Is... species... food?”
“Food also, but you have a limit on what to eat, first of all I am not food, if you try you'd doom the garden and yourself along it.”
“You... are... not... food?”
“YES! I am not a food! I gave you food! And will show you how to hunt it!”
“Hunt... mean... food?”
“Geh... wait a bit, I will summon some nature spirit or elemental, dunno what's better.”
“Spirit... food?”
“THE SAME AS ME! NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME FINISH IT!!!” Trees these days...
*
Right, so I finally managed to make a contract with the nature spirit, but-
“Yeah, and why would I do that?” are all spirits like this? I mean yes, she's rather cute, looks like proper driad- “I AM driad you moron.” and she reads my mind.
“Stop reading my mind.”
“And what will you-” [Mind Rapture] and she rolls around the grass screaming something gibberish.
“Next time I will just summon another spirit.”
“I... I... am not a spirit...” with meek voice this spirit said. “I am a dryad! I am considered a hybrid between nature spirit and a monster, as you humans call-”
“I am vampire, not some human.”
“... as those humans call creatures with mana cores.”
“Okay, let's spare the info on it, as I don't care. So you was summoned or created, whatever you choose, for being a guide and companion for triffid.”
“And what do you want from me, ojou-sama?”
“I AM NOT A GIRL! Well, I can become one, or look like one, as I really don't like how those annoying things get me off balance, but I am a guy!”
“Then this will be-” I lit myself aflame.
“ONE MORE TRY. WHO IS YOUR MASTER?!”
“Y-you are!” finally.
“Now be a good spirit and offer the guidance to the triffid. IF anything tries to attack me or my minions when we get here, you and everything that you had influence on will be incenirated. Got it?”
“G-got it!” finally.
“Now go and show the way of the hunt! Oh and what's your name?”
“... don't have one.”
“Then you will be named Artemis. I understand that you are no goddess of hunt, but Gaia is taken.” What happened to plants? Can't they, I dunno, be more friendly? I'm not some human who cut them down for fun and profit, I cut down humans for fun and profit. “So, chop chop. Go and make this into the sort of garden even gods would envy, I mean those annoying spirits that pose as gods, proper gods are idiots, and trust me I know, at least two of them are. Yes, I mean you Nar!”
“I hear and obey, master.”
“Right, now go, and make the best garden you can... make.” with those stats in intelligence I thought I would be genius, but seems like it don't give me better vocabulary than I already have. Eh whatever.
Now to the other tasks, maybe... yep, let's wait a bit, what do I have in stats by the way?
… What the hell? No really, what with those stats? I mean I was OP before, but now... now I suppose no one can match my stats in this world! *Sinister Laugh*... well except those annoying gods. But I wonder what should I do next? With all those stats I can probably... yeah, let's go with that.

Seems like I finished the 'divine quest', and finally got poison affinity, unique token, and I leveled up quite a lot. Seems like Polymath is a bit OP, but considering the costs, it was worth it, I mean every level get around 100 stats, and with my racials it's almost 150, is really cool, though leveling it get's annoying. Now the only problem is I need divine tokens to upgrade my stats to Divine tier. Oh well, it's not like I'm in a hurry, I have eternity to become more powerful than I already am, just don't get too cocky and everything will be fine.
Anyway it's time to experiment on my poison affinity, let's quickly find another castle, doubt there will be princess though.
*
After around a day of traveling wherever I thought was good direction, I finally managed to find castle, well more like temple, or something like that. There were a lot of those priests, templars/paladins/knights, probably some nobility, but who cares about liabilities. Anyway my plan was simple, poison the well, but... well, let's say that well was not there. Those bastards had underground river, so it was useless, instead I poisoned their supplies, ground, fleas, well made them undead and added poison to their mandibles, or whatever they had. Basically it was another massacre of zealots. Why don't I have a title like, I dunno, 'zealot eater'? But now I had a problem, I guess...
“YOU! How dare you kill my followers?!” and I guess it's so called light goddess. Where's my dagger? Oh here it is. “You will pay-”
“Ja, heard ya, question have I. Spirit you, are you not?”
“I am the Goddess of Light, and you will-”
“Regards from the system.” and I teleported towards her and plunged the dagger in her neck, and retreated... and it killed her... “Hey, it's not fun! Why did you die from this attack? I mean you supposed to be-” *DING!* “Oh new title.”
Um... dude... you just killed a goddess... well actually she supposed to be one, but seeing as you killed her with one hit, it seems like she was something useless. Anyway enjoy new flashy title.
God Slayer
You are alpha and omega, though now only omega, as creating world from scratch is not one of your powers, but destroying one is. And killing god is even harder.
Walking calamity
You destroyed the holy grounds of some religious organization, killed their goddess and all their leaders. Congrats, now go destroy something else.
Breaker of rules
Oh come on! You killed 'major' player in this world, eradicated the figures of this player. You also became rogue figure, and now the Chaos is laughing his ass off. Atta boy, now go wreak the place a bit more, before Chaos get bored.
Whale Hunter
Your minions killed almost all population of whales in the eastern sphere. You know that they were the staple food of Nekos, right?
Um... the last one... I think I just doomed some kittens, also... KANE! Did you change your profession?
Nah, I'm just bored.
Gods these days...
