FLAAASH!
"Men, calm down. I am the chosen one by the Frost Queen. She has given the task to protect the continent, especially us mortals, and also to defeat evil as it emerges. I apologize for not revealing this truth before, but I had my doubts. I hoped you could find a way by your own, but I've now realized the Frost Queen's guidance is needed in here."
"Greed blinds our eyes. Desperation turns us insane. We cannot let this enemy in the shadows turn us against one another. We've been in peace for over a thousand years now. Gentlemen, ladies, let us not break the promise we made to our Queen once more… This time, we must remain united, the world is rapidly changing, we don't know what might happen in the future. Therefore, we must work together now, before it is too late."
My words struck the people inside the room directly into their hearts. Benladann and Miranda looked at me in surprise, Benladra smiled, as if she was inspired, and Kate seemed confused, probably not understanding what I meant.
…It was just a bunch of fancy words, but I really meant it. I want to help these people remain united. The forces of Oberon are not the only threat. Monsters are becoming more rampant; dungeons are popping up more frequently. The Chaos Dragon Fragments are unsealing themselves, spreading miasma around the world.
And Fate is weakening, allowing even more grotesque evils such as the Vampire Venerable to awaken from their slumbers. If we end up divided, this entire continent will be one of the first ones to be engulfed in destruction, and we'll simply become a bunch of materials for these bastards such as Sangre and Oberon.
If I have the strength now… I can't let that happen.
"Ahhh… Lord Drake…"
"He's really a Guardian."
"His gallant voice and posture reminds me of the regality of ancient dragons."
"What an inspiring man."
"Will you really… help us?"
"We don't have anything to offer you back… Most of our countries are suffering from famine, monsters have ravaged our smaller villages…"
"Can you really do anything?"
Some were inspired, others, still doubted. It was only natural. If I was just a mortal, what I said would still be quite insane, but as a God, I can bring forth miracles. The production of food is no problem. I can easily use my divinity of harvest to create plantations for vegetables and fruits by the billions in just a couple of days inside the divine realm if I use divine power.
And meat? Hunting monsters is easy within the dungeons I have, imbuing some Divine Power into them will make their edible monsters overflow, easily becoming resources as well. And what about things such as protection and order? Well, I've been preparing my own team of sect members, powerful and that can easily travel around the continent using Dungeon Teleportation Devices or Spirits I can create.
"Emperor, the Frost Queen has sent me a divine message." I said. "Her soul lingers within the Frost Tower. She says that greed must not blind our eyes. Stop being so greedy, I shall give you my aid if you lend them five dungeons, you'll get 20% from their resources."
"W-What kind of aid could even help me from you? Even if you're…!" The Emperor muttered.
"Emperor! Mind your words." The Court Elder said, his powerful aura overflowing. The Emperor was also Rank 6, but he seemed particularly weaker. "You're talking before the Frost Guardian. He is the vessel of our Queen. Are you daring to go against her divine message?"
"Tch… You may think I am greedy, but I am merely looking to feed my people. My population is immense, can't you understand? To feed all these people, to bring them sustenance, I cannot simply hand over my possessions freely! The reason I conquer so many dungeons in the wilderness is because we constantly need more resources." Sighed the Emperor.
"My ancestors used to conquer places, to bring slaughter… but I want to do things differently, yet I find myself having a hard time every time. I've been merciful of my neighbors, and I have not waged war even now. I cannot simply hand over my resources so freely! If I do, my people might starve then! We've been dealing with our own problems ourselves. Internal strife happening all the time, Dungeon Breaks becoming more and more common…"
I guess I understand a bit more his motives. He's actually a good guy too, despite how stupid and stubborn he might seem.
"Fear not, the Frost Queen is generous."
FLAAASH!
I used some Mana and my Harvest Divinity, faking it as her power, and then merely used the Nature Attribute Spell [Grain Creation] to generate a million wheat grains.
Cost? Around fifty million Mana, nothing big at all, a simple drop of divine power refills all that mana, I can make more if they want to.
Everyone was left shocked.
"I can conjure Nature Magic, the power to create plants and manipulate them. Naturally, some research and the power of the goddess has given me the miraculous ability to grow grains and fruits." I said with a smile, generating branches from my hands, fruits popped up one after the other.
"A-A miracle…!"
"Our queen!"
"She's making her presence clear in here!"
"Lord Drake…"
As the many governors became insane in euphoria, the Emperor looked at me in shock.
"G-Grain? You made… grains… And fruits." He mutter in shock. "Not even normal Nature Magicians can go this far, they often… enchant crops but not to the extent of Creation!"
Of course, the power of [Creation] which allows for the instant generation of an element is a power that only Gods have, it uses Divine Power and Mana, but I can regulate it so I only spend Mana, thanks to the System's help which turns these hard to use spells into just mere game-like commands. Button smashing the spell easily generated a million wheat grains.
"It is nothing as insane as the gods, but it is a small gift from the queen. She desires peace."
