He appeared next to his Overlord Pillar. That erected existence towered high in his world, and all races could see it from their lands. It was still not as high as The World Tree, however.
It was far from its peak, but the constant growth pleased Minato, "Implanting fear within others works well..."
Ingrid nodded, "It's much easier, isn't it?"
The whole world didn't know about Minato and his power. Helping others in the low world would just result in a few identities gaining respect for Minato. Of course, Minato's deal with Princess Julia brought a lot of respect from royalties.
It spread throughout the Majestic Ice Kingdom like a disease. Still, it was not as deep as the fear Minato had implanted within the citizens.
There were a few reasons...
Minato took his time leisurely in the ice land.
He also didn't spread his fame and strength. His name was also known by royalties, while the citizens were just aware of the unknown helper.
People also forget kindness far easier than fear...
"We should change that soon," Minato scratched his hair, "I don't want to keep Yuna and Bei's families unaware of me. I want to face their father, see all my in-laws, and make a name for myself throughout the universe."
"Master will surely achieve all of it! Ingrid is sure of it!" The Elven Queen cheered her master.
Minato smiled widely, "I also heard that Medium World's Dungeons are very different... If no challenge appears in the low world, I will conquer a few low worlds, then go straight to the Medium World."
The Husbando Overlord said, then turned around to face his own World Tree. That powerful existence was not even used to its full potential. Still, one could only blame Minato and his lack of resources.
Heaven Sword's Blade was also hidden here.
Snake Concubine's Five Armors silently sat around the World Tree, waiting for their master's call. Many races also used them to enhance their abilities!
The Elven Forest also grew exceptionally. It was always vivid and exuberant, with elves happily going around. It was naturally abundant in greenery, but Minato could feel much more mana around himself.
Perhaps, the Overlord Pillar and The World Tree did their wonders here.
"We should repeat our first time, Ingrid. The Festival, that is," Minato chuckled as he strutted around the forest with the elven queen holding his arm.
Ingrid blushed and nodded, "Our forest grew in mana, and Master has formed a profound and sweet relationship with many elven women. Even if I pass out from the pleasure, Master will not be left alone, and I should return in time to not waste any festival's benefits."
Minato didn't think of that big festival, so he stopped and imagined the scene with the whole hall of naked elven women.
They were all blessed by nature, their bodies voluptuous and lascivious. They all matched Minato's tastes, and he found their long ears cute. Nibbling on those always felt good, especially on Ingrid, as she was also sensitive here.
That imagination deeply etched itself within Minato's heart. He swore to make it happen at some point and not reject any lady wanting to participate in the elven festival.
He put his limit to ten women at most in his dual cultivation sessions, but once in a while, Minato surely wouldn't mind taking a challenge.
"It will be nothing, but lust, though," he chuckled.
"No one minds, Master. Sweet words and care take some time, which is certainly not good with so many women around." Ingrid covered her lips as she laughed.
"True," Minato laughed as well.
It was way too satisfying to be with her master, so Ingrid purposely slowed the time around them. However, they came here with serious matters. That was why Ingrid's expression turned serious after the talk dropped.
The Elven Queen let Minato's arm go, then summoned a green magic circle.
She used her forest to convey a new way of getting achievements for their Overlord, Minato. Naturally, all elves rose to their feet and swore to work with other races for their master's sake.
The whole forest rustled to show their will to Minato.
He nodded with content, "Our next step will be Demon Spiders. I believe they need some talk."
"Please do, Master," Ingrid whispered, then lovingly clutched Minato's arm.
The duo went straight to the forest swathed in a vile aura. It was a much different aura from the hatred, so Minato didn't mind it in the slightest.
Minato respected that, but he wouldn't make a house for himself here. It was not just because of the vile aura but also because of the Demon Spider's bodies.
They were a humanoid race with human flesh.
That alone would be fine for Minato, but their spider characteristics turned him off. Their eyes were like red gems, scattered in three rows on their heads. On their backs, the spider legs sprouted.
Their fingers were also too long and closer to blades.
That was their standard form.
The other form resulted in their humanoid legs turning into spiders with that big abdomen scratching the ground. Only their upper half would remain human!
Minato saw that second form for the first time since the Demon Spiders with hatred within them attacked him.
Perhaps Minato preferred fluffy women such as his fox wife or elves with minimal changes in their bodies... Maybe, Minato couldn't bring himself to feel anything toward bug races and similar existences to them, or he just simply disliked the spiders.
Perhaps, the first impression... was what mattered the most.
The first-ever elf he saw was Lily, who became the second elf in charge of their whole tribe in Minato's world. Even if she had her heart shrouded in hatred, her body was still beautiful, and Minato couldn't find any flaw other than the foreign hatred...
"Master," Demon Spider's representative came out.
It was a woman, selected by all of them, as they hoped Minato's tastes would somehow shift... Unfortunately, it didn't seem so, but the lady kept the role...
She was the strongest Demon Spider Woman in the tribe, after all.
She came out on her humanoid legs and eyes shining at Lord Minato's reverence.
Her name was Pluppy.
"I want you guys to work with Elves for the defense measures. Who knows when those enemies will come out from my world? We need to be prepared for them, and you two have compatibility," Minato explained himself despite not really having to do so.
Pluppy's eyes narrowed, and she clearly conveyed her discomfort...
Jealousy was one thing, but the forest elves were too radiant. It was naturally odd to be around them, and the Demon Spiders would rather keep themselves away from them...
Their borders lacked people around solely because of that alone.
Minato lifted his chin, "It's my will."
"Yes, Master... Even if you didn't issue orders, we would work with the elves... That's how we can contribute to your world," Pluppy bowed and swore to convince all.
Minato saw her and casually promised, "If I find Dark Elves, Ingrid's Elves will change with them, and you will be able to have a good relationship."
Those words were like a melody to Pluppy's ears, "Thank you, Master!"
It was just a simple promise, but the Overlord conveyed that he would invest in the Demon Spiders! How Pluppy could not be happy?
She rose to her two and smiled brightly at Minato!
"We are going to Pebble Golems now. I hope you two didn't have any bickering?" Minato asked before turning away.
Pluppy replied, "Pebble Golems are kinda cute, Master."
"Haha! I get it," Minato turned around after bidding farewell to the Demon Spider Representative.
He toured throughout his world with Ingrid by his side.
She was always here, unlike Aya, who had already taken a long nap.
That just confirmed the elves' status more, and so the elves again became a common topic in Minato's world.
On the other hand, Minato confirmed what he was so sure about, "Dungeon Races are better... I just like their loyalty. I also don't need to implant too much fear within them... I hope I won't grow to hate other worlds."
Ingrid reassured, "Master's world will join the highest worlds soon enough. That will be when many other worlds will enter it... Master won't hate other worlds at all!"
By that time, Elven High World also would be within their reach... Ingrid already dreamed a few times of her return as she slept on Minato's chest.
The elven queen naturally introduced her beloved to that big world in those dreams.
