《The Rise Of A Porter 》Chapter 494: Slaughterhouse (2)
Advertisement
Arnold had arrived on the planet with 16 of his summons and Nilerea who was his apostle. That was his entire army but within a couple of hours, his army had expanded to over 100,000 with the addition of the elves Tiamut had killed.
Their corpses were collected and dumped in front of Yan to do his lich magic and turn them into his loyal undead soldiers. Just like Arnold had thought, there were elves who had managed to save themselves using top tier elven magic. However, they had used all of their mana to protect themselves and now they were no different than a bunch of low levelled goblins.
Upon Arnold's orders, anyone who was alive had their wounds patched up using Elven magic Nilerea could use. While the dead were turned into his private army. Arnold knew if he had to take the gods on, he needed to do something about their army. If an all-out war was to break out, then he would most likely be too preoccupied with the gods that he wouldn't be able to tend to their godly army.
Although his army was good, he didn't have much confidence in anyone except his elite summons to be able to squash the enemies. What he was trying to say was that the other undead summons might not have enough skills to take down the army of gods. Thus, for the first time in his life, he was going to prefer quantity over quality.
He would have to destroy hundreds of planets, if not more and that would further increase the diversity of his army as well. Which should make it harder for the gods to do come up with a tactic to defeat him, but it was all in the future. Right now, he had other matters to attend to.

In the meantime, Nilerea was busy tending to the wounds of the elves who once were enemies, but upon their goddess' will, they decided to reconcile and fight against the greater threat... Arnold. And seeing one of their kind helping Arnold of her own will, made them sick to the deepest pits of their stomach. Something they didn't waste any time expressing.
As soon as Nilerea reached the Dark Elven queen, to heal her wounds, the queen spat out a mouthful of blood at Nilerea's face. Staining her pearl white skin and dress.
"You ungrateful Helf! How does it feel to betray your kind in a madman's crusade?" The Elven queen cursed and Nilerea stood there as silent as the dead forest, "When the day of judgement comes, you will reap the burden of your sins and that day, you will regret ever allowing to let that man step his foot here!"
"Talking about me are we?"
Arnold saw the commotion from the side and walked up to see what was going on. It was fine till the queen was cursing Nilerea, but the moment Arnold realised she was talking ill about her because she was serving him, he couldn't ignore it any longer.
Tyrant or not, Arnold was still fairer than most of the gods were. If he wanted to, he could have killed all of them himself right then and there. But he had to lure their so-called goddess out of her rabbit hole, and he could only do it if at least a few of these bastards were left alive.
He turned to look at Nilerea and could see the conflict on her face. It was safe to say that the words of the Elven queen had got to her. But Arnold had the perfect way to resolve this issue... with a little bloodshed.

'Hm... it would also give me the opportunity to try this.' Arnold opened up a new tab that appeared when he ascended to godhood.
__
Apostle Details:
• Allen (Unblessed)
• Amanda (Unblessed)
• Yu Zhung (Unblessed)
• Nilerea (Blessed)
__
Everyone Arnold had ever blooded could be now considered as an Apostle by themselves. However, they wouldn't receive the benefits of being an apostle unless Arnold wanted them to. That's why next to every name apart from Nilerea the word Unblessed was mentioned.
Arnold then selected Nilerea's tab and another prompt opened up in front of him.
__
Would you like to give this apostle a mission?
__
'Yes.'
__
Select the type of mission and add rewards and penalties if you want to.
(Note: You can only reward things that you currently own. You can also use your Universal Influence to give them exp. Upon successful completion of the task, you'll receive a certain per cent of your universal influence back.)
__
'Why would I give away my universal influence for such a meagre task? I'll give her some other reward instead... one she won't be able to refuse.'
Thinking so, Arnold set a mission and a reward for Nilerea and gave her, he first mission. Nilerea turned towards him the moment a notification flashed in front of her. The look on her face said it all, she wasn't expecting this from Arnold at all.
__
You have received a new quest!
[ INTRODUCTION ]: Your lord has been disrespected in front of your eyes. Avenge his hurt ego.
[ TASK ]: Kill the Dark Elven Queen and serve her severed head to [The One Above All].
[ PROGRESS ]: 0/1 Dark Elven Queen head severed
[ REWARDS FOR COMPLETION ]:
• The One Above All will acknowledge your loyalty towards him.
[ PENALTY FOR FAILURE ]:
• All of the elves would be killed.
• Alfheim will be destroyed.
__
It was a task... a task to kill the elven queen and as for the reward... Arnold would let the other elves live. If she failed the task, he would kill all of them right then and there. But he wouldn't stop there, he would destroy the entire planet.
Nilerea kept looking at Arnold, hoping he would forgive them. But when he didn't even gave them another look and kept staring at her, she realised Arnold was being serious. He wasn't kidding when about killing them all or destroying their world.
Without speaking another word, Nilerea took out her sword and with a clean movement, severed the head of the queen, before picking it up and placing it right in front of Arnold's feet.
"The task has been completed, my lord."

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
