Minister: " What do we do about the anomaly known as Simon?"
Gazel was contemplating how to deal with everything that would concern the aftermath of the war and now they had gotten to the part that would be the hardest to deal with, Simon.
You might wonder why they wouldn't go against him considering he killed thousands of their knights. Well imagine someone fell from the sky and tore down two nations militaries in one instant and completely overwhelmed their strongest warrior in 1-on-1 combat one after the other without breaking a sweat, would you try to antagonize someone like that?
Gazel: " We make this the story."
———————Falmuth———————
" A nameless terrible thing that fell from the sky and froze the entire battlefield, not only did it destroy both armies but also critically injured the strongest Pegasus knights as well as the hero king himself?" The making known as Razen recited the report he had gotten from a spy.
Spy: "Yes sir."
Razen: "And apparently this monster ran in the direction of the kingdom of ingrassia."
Spy: "Yes sir."
Razen: "Interesting."
———————Ingrassia———————
"We have to do something about this! A monster that can tear down the Dwargon military with ease is not something to be taken lightly!" A knight captain shouted out in panic and fear.
King Aegil simply put up his hand up to silence everyone, " Do not worry everyone, this report is a fake."
Everyone in the room was shocked by his words, " I can tell when King Gazel writes a false report, he is most likely diverting Falmuth's attention away from the war while trying to keep this unusual asset a secret." The king was not in conflict with Gazel and didn't intend to be, over time he could tell a false report from a real one from the dwarven kingdom.
"My king, should we investigate this asset?"
"No, there's no point in antagonizing the dwarven kingdom for someone or something we don't know about."

"My king, why lie about the location of that man?" Dorf inquired about Gazel Dwargo's lie. Although he always teleported away, he always initially walked in the same direction.
" That man gave you a world altering device, one that caused a war between nations. He made his next entrance by wiping out two armies with one attack and then gave us 50 more of those devices. If we tell any nation of his whereabouts, they'll will most likely try to take advantage of him which could either result in that nations annihilation or us losing a potential powerful asset."
"I mourn the death of our comrades but avenging them would be, not only immature, but would also result in our loss." Gazel voiced in a low solemn voice but still filled with conviction.

"A nameless terrible thing? That's what their calling me!?" I listened to the intelligence Amanises had gathered for me in secret and relaying to me via Body double and Thought communication.
'Why am I suddenly Doctor who? Nameless terrible thing my ass!'
" What did you want them to say, I might not be that familiar with politics but I at least know that if a comet suddenly lands and ends a war in one fell swoop, then someone has to offer an explanation. At least this way, you were left anonymous." Treyni tried to comfort me.
" Really Treyni, making good points against me. Why can't you just let me be upset?" I looked at her with a blank stare
"Anyways, what are you doing with those cards… actually what are those card in the first place?" Treyni looked at the deck of cards I was shuffling in curiosity.
The cards I was holding had intrigued the interest of the Tri-yads, (terrible joke, ik) mostly Doris. The cards were black with a white border, it had a red oval on it with a singular word sprawled in bold yellow.
Doris attempted to pronounce the word, " U…NO?" Amanises and Nyx behind me both flinched at the name.
" It's a game y'all wanna play."
" Sure. How do you play?" Treyni responded enthusiastically while Doris and Trya looked nervous from the silently shaking heads of Amanises and Nyx.
I explained the rules of the game to the Dryad trio, which made them comply to their unknowable doom.
————————————————
Not even 10 minutes later and I feel like I've done something criminal. Me, Amanises, Nyx and Treyni had less than ten cards… whereas Doris and Trya looked at their 20+ cards with dead eyes.
'That sadistic smile is terrifying.' I thought as I looked at the Dryad determined to torture her younger sisters and felt a little bit of fear.
Treyni put down another +4 for Trya which I swear I could feel a bit of killing intent directed towards Treyni, which she clearly noticed but ignored.
" Should we stop?" I tried to give Doris and Trya a saving grace.
…But Treyni was very content with the current situation, "oh Mr. Simon, don't you think it's inappropriate to leave a game unfinished?" Treyni's eyes glazed with a sense of satisfaction.
"Can't argue with that." I sighed in defeat.
————————————————
Doris and Trya lay on the floor, in a pile of cards, like corpses. Me and my two companions just looked at them with pity while Treyni had this refreshed look like she had just came from the most amazing massage ever. Amanises rubbed the head of those two with makeshift hands made of darkness.
Doris slowly and decrepitly lifted her head to look at me, " You… really are… a nameless… terrible… thing."
Treyni just looked at her sister with a smile, "Awe, don't be so rude Doris. Mr Simon was kind enough to allow us to play this delightful and wonderful game."
Both Trya and Doris seethed with anger at that voice.
" Ok, if there's going to be fighting please take it outside."
Doris and Trya stilled their anger. Treyni spoke with a new reverent tone, "I think we'll be taking our leave. Also can I borrow this game?"
"Sure thing, but… there's one more thing I want to do."
Treyni had become intrigued by what he wanted to do, because everything this guy did deviated from normalcy.
————————————————
Treyni was leading me to her material body aka a tree, "Mr Simon, what do you intend to do with-"
I suddenly took out a chainsaw and chopped down the tree in one clean cut.
Trya and Doris looked in horror as I began manipulating the shape of the tree, " Simon, what are you doing!!"
They began mobilising magic to attack me, but everything they used on me either bounced off of me or had been blocked by me on instinct.
" Would you two calm the fuck down!?" I screamed at the two Dryads, " I'm just giving her a mobile material body."
I was essentially copying what Rimuru did for her, by molding her tree into a wooden doll with joints to move around freely while adding a chaos core.
When I had finished, Treyni formed from the wooden doll and found that she could not only move fluently but became obscenely stronger than before, " Incredible."
Doris and Trya looked at their sister with awe, I decided to take advantage of that and offered them the same alternative. They nodded vigorously.
And there I was, making Dryads into mobile powerhouses.
