Chapter 177 - Clumsy Genius

Time flew by, and Yuki had already spent over a month in the Shadow Garden world.

During this month, Yuki had taken in all the descendants of Hero bloodlines.

Then, with Elisabeth and Akane as the two main leaders, they established an organization called the "Omnipotent Court."

Yuki served as the organization's symbol, revered as a deity and titled the all-knowing, all-powerful Supreme Lord.

Alpha and the others from the original Shadow Garden were even more fanatical fans of Yuki.

They treated every word Yuki said as a sacred decree, showing more reverence than toward a deity.

They diligently carried out the organization's tasks, overseeing and supervising each nation, managing on Yuki's behalf the countries that, like the Midgar Kingdom, had agreed to submit to him.

Though they were young, their abilities were remarkable.

Among them, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and the other seven original "Seven Shadows" from the Shadow Garden were particularly outstanding. They were quickly promoted by Elisabeth and the others to become the organization's high-ranking members, titled the "Seven Guardians."

The organizational structure extended layer by layer downward, with each of the Seven Guardians able to form their own teams.

As Seven Guardians, they not only had the privilege of participating in Yuki and the others' strategy discussions but could also reside directly at the organization's headquarters estate.

Due to the large number of members, the original estate could no longer accommodate everyone.

So, Elisabeth proposed building more houses nearby as residences for other organization members.

The original headquarters would remain for the high-ranking members.

Regarding Elisabeth's arrangements, Yuki had no objections.

After all, as a Vampire Ancestor who had lived so long, she was naturally more experienced in leadership matters.

Plus, Yuki himself was rather lazy, so he left these matters for Elisabeth to handle as she saw fit.

Since they were all his women, Yuki naturally trusted them.

Yuki sat in the courtyard, a silver-haired, blue-eyed elf standing beside him.

At this moment, the elf looked at Yuki with eyes full of adoration and love, nervously holding a tray.

The elf's name was Beta, the Second Guardian of the Omnipotent Court.

"Beta, your skills are good. It seems you've mastered the art of brewing coffee!"

Yuki took a sip from the exquisite porcelain cup and smiled, praising Beta beside him.

"Yes!"

"All credit goes to the great Lord's teachings!"

The girl, hearing Yuki's praise, breathed rapidly, a blush spreading across her face as she excitedly replied, attributing everything to Yuki.

Hearing this, Yuki chuckled helplessly.

"It has nothing to do with me. It's all your own effort, Beta."

"I've seen all your hard work, Beta."

Yuki turned to Beta and smiled.

Seeing this, Beta's heart immediately rippled with waves, both excited and shy.

"Aaaaaah~~~"

"The Lord said he's been watching me all along!"

"I must record this as material for 'The Untold Secrets Between Me and the Supreme Lord'! Hehe~~~"

The girl wore a dreamy smile as she pulled out a notebook from somewhere and began writing.

Seeing this, Yuki could only shake his head helplessly.

Just then, a rift suddenly tore open in space, and a figure slowly emerged.

"Lord, I've returned!"

A blue-haired, blue-eyed elven girl, exuding an aura of elegance and composure, stepped out gracefully.

Her steps were light and elegant, like a fairy stepping out of a painting.

"Oh, it's Gamma! How..."

Yuki smiled and greeted her, but halfway through his sentence, the scene abruptly changed.

Just as Gamma, with her composed demeanor, stepped out of the rift in space, she suddenly lost her balance, tipping forward. As she was about to fall heavily to the ground, Yuki instantly acted.

With a slight gesture from Yuki, Gamma's position instantly shifted, appearing directly 20 meters away where Yuki was.

Then, she fell straight into Yuki's arms.

"Still as clumsy as ever!"

Yuki caught the girl, chuckling helplessly.

"Sorry... Lord."

A hint of shame appeared on Gamma's face, but soon her eyes turned to infatuation.

Her eyes shimmered with an indescribable light, gazing at Yuki like autumn water.

"It's fine. Just be more careful next time."

Yuki shook his head, steadied the other person, then withdrew his gaze.

Gamma, in the original work, was an exceptionally talented individual in terms of intellect, but correspondingly, her physical abilities were the worst.

Thus, she was the weakest in combat among the Seven Guardians.

However, due to her outstanding mind, Elisabeth assigned her to manage the commercial organizations and intelligence aspects of the organization's administrative work.

In fact, she proved quite capable. In just a few days, she managed the organization's civil affairs quite well.

"Ahem, Gamma, what exactly happened today?"

Beta, seeing this, quickly tried to make her presence known.

"Ah, Beta!"

"There is indeed something to report!"

Only then did Gamma remember the main matter and hurriedly relayed the news.

Basically, it involved several nations actively contacting the King of the Midgar Kingdom, intending to submit to Yuki.

These included the Oriana Kingdom, known in this world as the nation of art, and the Spirit Fox tribe of the beastmen.

After hearing the report, Beta looked at Yuki with infinite admiration.

"As expected of the all-knowing, all-powerful Supreme Lord! You already knew these two nations would submit today!"

Beta spoke excitedly, her body trembling slightly.

Actually, Yuki had already known this news, and he had mentioned it to Beta beside him just minutes earlier.

Now, hearing Gamma bring back the news, it further confirmed the accuracy of Yuki's words.

This filled her heart with immense admiration.

Hearing this, Gamma also looked at Yuki with respect and adoration.

"As expected of the Lord!"

Both of them sighed simultaneously.

Seeing their fanaticism, Yuki could only shake his head helplessly.

Sometimes, being overly worshipped wasn't necessarily a good thing.

As for the two nations themselves, this wasn't information Yuki obtained through omniscience.

It was purely deduction.

As for why he guessed this, it mainly related to Yuki's actions.

A few days ago, he had rescued the Princess of the Oriana Kingdom, Rose Oriana, from a critical situation where she was surrounded by bandits and her guards were overwhelmed.

Then, he naturally met the King of the Oriana Kingdom.

After conversing with the King and reminding him about the Cult, Yuki could already guess he was willing to align with them.

As for the Spirit Fox tribe, the situation was similar.

After the Spirit Fox tribe chieftain's daughter, Yukime, was targeted by the Cult and Yuki intervened, he discussed cooperation with the Spirit Fox tribe chieftain.

Given the Spirit Fox tribe's harsh living conditions, scarce resources, and the predatory gaze of other beastmen tribes, Yuki offered protection and guaranteed stable development as conditions for their submission.

Such favorable terms—as long as the Spirit Fox tribe chieftain wasn't a fool, he would agree.

Moreover, through Yuki's actions, the Spirit Fox tribe completely severed ties with other beastmen tribes.

This also prevented the scenario from the original work where the beastman Gettan received the Spirit Fox tribe's protection and formed a marriage contract with Yukime of the Spirit Fox tribe.
