The Rise Of A Porter

Arnold thought he was being sneaky about his plan to destroy the planets of the vassals. But it seemed like the gods had already thought about his next moves and planned accordingly. As irritating as the current situation was, there was nothing he could do about it.

Also, this magic had put him on the edge. His armour should protect him, for now. But there were bound to be other traps inside the forest and if the first trap almost got him, then he could only think about what the other trap will be able to do to him.

"The elves live inside the forest right?" Arnold asked Nilerea who nodded her head, "Then we'll have to lure them out. Tiamut, you're up."

Tiamut gave him a short, but curt nod and transformed into her dragon form. But this time, her size kept growing and growing till she could look over the entire forest. All of them stepped back, as they knew what was going to come next.  The next moment one of her dragon heads spewed toxic gas into the forest as the forest became shrouded with a thick layer of green mist.

"The poison won't work on elves, master." Nilerea politely mumbled, "We elves are born immune to any kind of poison-"

"She isn't trying to poison them," Arnold said without even turning to face her, "But something much better. Something that will make your god know, she isn't going to live for long."

After a couple of minutes, Tiamut stopped spewing poison and opened another one of her dragon mouths. The one that spewed hellfire. The moment her blue flames touched the green mist there was a loud explosion as if several nuclear bombs had gone off simultaneously.

The end result? The forest the elves were hiding in, was uprooted in an instant. There was nothing left behind but the charred trees and destroyed wildlife in a huge crater. The smoke after the obliteration of the forest could even be seen from space. The forest which had been green and full of life had turned into nothing but a blackened pit of death and misery.

The crater must have put a huge dent on the planet itself as shockwaves were sent in every direction. If their goddess was thinking she could have stopped him somehow, then she was dead wrong. No mere god will ever be able to stop him again or decide the path he would walk on. Never again.

"Tiamut! The master needs to kill them himself to gain influence!" Talos yelled at the dragon overlord, "How will-"

"It's fine Talos." Arnold interrupted the automaton, "Even if I would have killed 100,000 of them, the rate wouldn't go up by more than 0.00025% according to my calculations."

"My apologies then," Talos mumbled and stepped back.

Nilerea couldn't believe her eyes. There was a saying that the elves are invincible as long as they had the blessing of the forest by their side... but it seemed even the forest couldn't go up against someone like her new master. She knew her allegiance was with her master, but even then upon seeing the destruction of the entity they prayed to, was a bit much for her.

She got extra quiet, and Arnold noticed it immediately. But he didn't give a fck about her emotions. He was there to conquer and destroy, Nilerea knew it from the start and if she still couldn't come to terms with what he was doing then there was nothing he could do to ease her mind. As Tiamut turned back to her human form, Arnold turned towards the rest of them and start giving them their orders.

"Talos, Grock, Dread and Asterios, you guys will look for any high ranking elven official you can find. I have a hunch the rulers of the forest might not have gone down so easily. Bring them to me alive."

The four of them immediately got to work without wasting a single moment.

"Duke, Cerberus, Bad-Breath, Miro. You people will look for any corpses you can find and bring them here. Natasha and Tiamut, you will go with them and if you come across anyone who is alive, bring them to me."

They too went to work as well and then Arnold turned towards Nilerea, "On a planet ten times bigger than mine, no way that all the civilisation only existed in this forest. Am I right?"

Nilerea nodded, she was completely aware of what was going to happen next. Arnold was going to kill all of them without exception. It didn't matter to him whether they had anything to do with the gods or not. He will end them all.

"Heimdall, Hercules. Visit the places Nilerea tells you about and locate all of the places with civilisation. Alice, Ogur, the two of you will go with them as well. Do not kill any of the elves, if possible and bring as many of them as you can here." Arnold instructed them, "Yan, you'll stay here with me. We need to expand the army and you will help me do that."

With everyone having been given their tasks, they rushed to achieve what their master wanted them to. While Arnold took out his weapon and began tending to it. He had two goals in his mind when he stepped foot on the planet. To kill them and turn them into a part of his army, and to lure their goddess out and kill her as well.

He hoped to increase the rate of Primal power manifestation by at least 2% and that wouldn't be possible without killing the god they served. But he also knew no god will willingly appear in front of him as that would mean sure death for them.

Thus Arnold wanted to capture some live samples and lure their dearest goddess out, before slaughtering her. But he wasn't heartless enough to kill every one of them. He will leave the children with enough adults to take of them and then return once again to kill them and repeat the cycle over and over again.

He was planning to turn their planet into his personal slaughterhouse which will guarantee him a slow, but constant supply of primal power and universal influence. Think of it as his personal KF..C branch.
