That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Any mech combatant could easily eliminate Sink Nielba, the genius of the Forest Elf race.

Knock knock knock

A knock sounded at the door, and a forest elf entered cautiously to report: "Lord Nielbaren, the plenipotentiary representatives of the machine race and humans request a meeting."

"They've finally arrived, though they've made me wait a whole day, still like prisoners. I hope this trip will have a satisfactory outcome." Sink Nielbaren's cherry-red lips curled into a cold smile.

The forest elf who was reporting trembled involuntarily. Even among the forest elves, the Nielbaren clan was known for being meticulous and calculating. What might be an unintentional offense was considered an unforgivable crime by the Nielbaren.

As he stepped off the elevator, Sink Nielbaren muttered with disgust, "The same technology as those gophers."

The forest elves despise everything related to the goblin race.

She arrived at an empty room, devoid of furniture and decorations. In the middle of the room stood two figures, one tall and one short. The taller figure was shrouded in a long black robe, exuding mystery and majesty.

Sink Nielbaren felt a slight unease; she sensed a pressure from Hall that was no less than that of the Skywing (Jibriel) who had destroyed the Forest Elf city.

The other was a human female with a pale complexion and eyes that showed no emotional fluctuations, posing no threat or pressure.

Is the machine-type dominant?

This result surprised her greatly and was hardly good news.

Compared to negotiating with machines, humans, being such weak beings, are clearly easier to fool.

Sink Nielbaren lifted the two white cloths covering the delicate body and bowed respectfully, saying, "Hello, I am Sink Nielbaren, the plenipotentiary representative of the Forest Elf race. Thank you for your willingness to receive us."

Hall sized her up a few times. In her "swimsuit," if she were in the inner quarters of the next room, she would definitely be marked with a tally mark on her thigh. She would be surrounded by either human mercenaries, orcs, or tentacle monsters.

Hall said calmly, "I am the sole agent of the Machine Race and humans. You can call me the Prophet. What business do the Forest Elves have with us?"

“Four days ago, our Forest Elf Sensing Techniques detected that your race seemed to be engaged in battle with the Skywing race.”

After a brief pause, Sink Nielbarn saw that Hall and Yuki showed no reaction, as if the incident had never happened.

Or perhaps, in their eyes, it's just a trivial matter...

Sink Nielbaren continued, "The Skywings have also attacked us Forest Elves, causing more than 3000 Forest Elves to be killed or wounded. They are a group of war maniacs who consider themselves the rulers of this planet, and any life that threatens their existence will be ruthlessly wiped out."

"Undoubtedly, the Skywing Race is our common enemy. In that case, don't you think there is a lot of room for cooperation between us?"

The atmosphere fell silent. Sink Nielbaren felt the other person scrutinizing him, and his breathing quickened. His full breasts rose and fell, supported by the white ribbon.

"You are too weak," Hall commented coldly.

weak?

Sink Nielbaren stiffened, his face turning ugly as he suppressed his anger, and said respectfully, "Compared to the Machine Race and the Skywing Race, the Forest Elf Race's power is indeed negligible."

This is a fact that Sink Nielbaren has to admit. It's not that the Forest Elves are weak; on the contrary, they are one of the most powerful races on the planet.

However, the Skywing race is the vanguard created by the God of War, and has caused countless wars and wiped out countless races to date.

The Machine Race is a race that has existed since ancient times, and even gods cannot easily escape if they provoke them.

"but."

Sink Nielbarn proudly raised his chin, staring at Hall and confidently declaring, "We Forest Elves also have secret weapons."

In the shadow of the hood, Hall curled his lip indifferently.

Just as Sink Nielbaren was about to reveal the strategic weapon hidden by the Forest Elves as a bargaining chip, Yuki coldly said first: "[Void Zero Blessing] is a self-destructing magic that sacrifices the Fantasy species. It forcibly rewrites the root formula of the Fantasy species, which is an independent elven corridor, and causes it to self-destruct, releasing a large number of elves. Under the effect of the formula, they will collapse in a chain reaction and be released into the outside world."

"..."

Sink Nielbarn asked incredulously, his voice trembling, "How did you know...?"

Hall calmly delivered his verdict: "Your plenipotentiary representative, you are the first alien race to visit Zion. As a reward, I can give you a choice: to become a vassal of the Mechs and humans."

"Are you kidding me? Even if you are the sole agent of the Machine Race, you'd better watch your words."

This is simply impossible; becoming a vassal of another race means betraying one's creator.

Hall said coldly, "Or... annihilation."

Sink Nielbaren glared at Hall, lowering his gaze to hide his intense hostility: "Is that so? It seems we have nothing left to talk about. And please remember one more thing: we forest elves have very delicate nerves and cannot withstand stimulation. Anything that stimulates us will be destroyed without hesitation."

Sink Nielbarn stormed off, yelling, "Excuse me!"

boom!

The door closed.

Hall ordered: "Add the Forest Elves to the hostile list."

"The Skynet system has located 216 forest cities inhabited by forest elves, as well as the entrance to what is suspected to be the main city of the forest elves."

Hall nodded: "After 24 hours, dispatch combat units to sweep through the cities of the forest spirits, but do not cross the boundaries of the secret realm. It is very likely that the forest god Kainas resides there. The [Godslaying] plan can only be launched after the Divine Essence Refining Array is completed."

"clear."

Chapter 255 The Forest God Kainas (Please subscribe!)

Humans and the Machine Races declared war on the Forest Elf Race, attracting worldwide attention and sending a signal about the strength of this world-changing force and its global combat capabilities that transcend distance.

As long as it is within the monitoring range of the satellite "SkyNet", its coordinates can be directly located, and space transmission can be carried out using "SkyNet" as a relay station.

The ability to teleport is thanks to the Skyshift technique used by Azriel, who was authorized by the Skywing race, and it was copied when used in front of Skynet.

Hall's declaration of war against the Forest Elves was largely opportunistic, serving to facilitate the operations of human remote squads and to cover up the operation.

It's impossible for the array points where various races and factions set up Divine Essence Alchemy Arrays across the world to go undetected. After showcasing the power of humans and machine races, it would be much easier to target human expedition teams or to negotiate.

Furthermore, thanks to the unexpected gain of [Sky Shift], the speed of setting up the Divine Essence Refining Array has been greatly accelerated, and some array points that are not within the territory of the race's power can be teleported through [Sky Shift].

However, the difficulty in setting up a Divine Essence Refining Array has never been the distance, but rather the computational ability of the mechanical species. It often takes more than a week to set up a single array point.

During this period, it would be fine if it was interference from other races, as most of them are no match for the machine race. The real danger is that if they attack the smaller ones, they might attract the divine race.

······

Time flies, and for the next six months or so, Hall lived a life of "farming".

No, it should be called planting trees, or technology trees.

On the one hand, it actively guides the evolution of the machine species, allowing it to evolve infinitely based on existing information and data.

It's no exaggeration to say that the overall capabilities of the new mechs have at least doubled compared to before.

On the other hand, it makes humans cling tightly to the leg of the machine race.

With the help of the Machines and Hall, human development is progressing rapidly, with new technologies applicable to humans emerging every day.

Among these, the most crucial aspect was Hall's leadership in constructing the Skynet system.

Humans complete adventures in a virtual reality world, acquiring various items and professional abilities.

The framework of classes like magicians, swordsmen, warriors, boxers, mechanics, and spearmen is very similar to that of online games, because it was built by Hall based on the game framework.

Most of the skills in the profession are abilities from various races that the machine race has copied over hundreds of millions of years of survival in this world.

Then, the abilities that humans gain in the virtual reality world can also be used in the real world through the medium of "Skynet".

The surface population of Zion City has increased to 15000, which is basically the remaining population of all humans in the continent of Lucia and the entire world.

Beneath Zion, the android population has grown to over 100 million, most of whom are unaware that their consciousness exists within a virtual reality world.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the line between virtual reality and reality in Zion has become extremely blurred.

If the virtual world can invade reality, and reality can influence the virtual world, then what is the difference between the so-called virtual world and the real world?

In the virtual world, human prayers have brought to life the concepts of thousands of deities. Hall spends most of his consciousness talking to these deities every day, persuading them to "cooperate" with humans.

······

Since breaking with Hall, the Forest Elf's situation has plummeted from heaven to hell.

It's not that Hall was trying to exterminate them; the Mechs would often come to the Forest Elf cities to drive them away, which was more like harassment than combat.

The relentless harassment.

A warning is given one day in advance before attacking a city of a certain forest elf species, and then the city is directly bombarded with light cannons a day later.

At first, the Forest Elf species would try to resist, and there was one instance where they did manage to block the [Sky Strike] used by the Machine Armor species' combat body, which was a mimicry of the Sky Wing species' attack. This is one of the most powerful attack abilities that the Machine Armor species possesses.

However, the moment the forest elf blocked [Sky Strike], a beam of light more than ten times stronger than [Sky Strike] descended from the sky, evaporating the resisting forest elf along with the forest city.

The attack originated from the outer space satellite Skynet.

After the Forest Elf race gave up resistance, they suffered almost zero casualties every time they faced harassment from the Mech race.

The problem comes from the goblin race, the mortal enemies of the forest elves.

They would show no mercy to the forest elves, especially since the crystals on their heads were extremely valuable materials to the goblins.

Each time the Mechs destroyed a Forest Elf city, the Goblins would follow behind and carry out a merciless massacre.

As for the [Void Zero Blessing], the Forest Elves never used it.

Sink Nielbaren was well aware of the consequences of using [Void Zero Protection] against the Machines.

The spirit realm techniques developed with the full effort of an entire clan should not be used to benefit others.

The territory of the Forest Elf race dwindled to less than one-tenth in just six months.

······

The city of giant trees blends seamlessly with nature, creating a beautiful and natural landscape.

Surrounded by faintly glowing, translucent mushrooms, Sink Nielbaren sat on a petal chair, biting his lip and cursing furiously, "Those damned gophers, machines, and monkeys!"

Just now, she received another notice from the Goblin race that they were preparing to destroy a forest elf city and had dispatched a flower boat to pick up the forest elf residents of that city to prevent the goblins from taking advantage of the situation.

To Sink Nielbaren, this behavior of the Machine Race was the greatest insult, a contempt for her and for the Forest Elves.

However, no matter how intense the anger, it could never mask the deep sense of powerlessness.

For the past six months, the forest elves have tried every means of resistance, but to no avail.

The disparity in combat power is despairing, and the machine race has an overwhelming advantage in both intelligence and abilities.

"This cannot continue. Only one forest city inhabited by spirits can be born every few decades. If it is destroyed continuously, the power of Mother (the forest goddess Kainas) will become weaker and weaker."

"We must retaliate and make them pay tenfold for all the losses they have suffered over the past six months!"

"An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth!"
