“I confirm.”

-CHOOSE YOUR PREFERRED RACE-
-YOUR DECISION WILL DETERMINE WHERE YOU ARE PLACED IN THE NORTH REALM AND YOUR MAIN SOURCE OF FAITH-
Legion-1 asked in surprise, “Faith? Does that mean I will be a god?”
-EVERY GOD SEED IS TO BE A GOD-
-BUT NOT EVERY GOD SEED WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCEED IN BECOMING A GOD IN GOD’S DOMAIN-
“Fine. Give me the list of races.”
A more comprehensive list of the races in the North realm was presented to him.

There were more races that Legion-1 went through. They all had different strengths and weaknesses. What Legion noticed was that they all had the same number of weaknesses and strengths. One of them that stood out was the pro of highly intelligent being accompanied by the con of being difficult to convert.
This made the elves, gnomes, and humans stand out to him. These three races have various sub-races with specialties. The elves have high elves, wood elves, sun elves, and wood elves. The humans had the slavics, the Africans, the Asians, and many more. The gnomes have the red trading gnomes, the green mechanical gnomes, etc. What all three of them have in common is that they are too intelligent for potential sources of faith.
Legion crossed out the three of them. As beings that have a god clone and have killed many gods in the past, they know that the best believers are gullible ones.
They were previously high elves themselves, so they know just how snobby, proud, and disdainful of other races high elves can be. Not only that, high elves hated gods. They worshiped only one god which was their ancestor. It would make them unreceptive to a new
god.
So they eliminated the humans, gnomes, and high elves. They don’t want their believers to think too much, or they will question them. This way, the Orcs and ogres make better sources of faith.
They also don’t want believers that are too stupid. Stupidity is the greatest weakness, in their opinion. A race might be weak, have low fertility, or be xenophobic, but they can’t be stupid.
The Ogres are giant walking war machines, but they are also violent and difficult to rule. They are also stupid. Stupid soldiers are not as good enough as smart soldiers. The humans beat the Orcs in that aspect. If only the humans were not weak, had a short lifespan of a hundred years as ordinary humans, and were difficult to convert, they would be selected.
They eventually went with the orcs because they had the least amount of weaknesses and the most important strength. Having few weaknesses means they will have fewer shortcomings. Having a single weakness means that those shortcomings can be anticipated.
The orcs eat a lot. All they need to do is give them food, and that will solve their problems. Their love for food also means that they can be bribed and coerced with food.
They may not be highly intelligent or skilled, but they are strong warriors. That means it will be very easy to acquire food for them. All they need to do is take it from the weak and skillful races. Such as the humans.
What’s great is that the Orcs are strong enough to achieve it. Their potential of 50 is not as high as the giants, but it is high enough to make them a Tier 3 race. They will be able to do
even better with the assistance of gods.
They clicked on orcs and did more research into them before finally making a decision. The list that was presented to them was exhaustive. It contained information about the different varieties of orcs and their way of life. They could also see the physical features of the orcs. They were tall, muscular, and humanoid, with tusks jutting out of their mouths. They read through it and finally made their decision.
–YOU HAVE CHOSEN ORCS-
-DO YOU CONFIRM?-
“Yes I do.”
-CONGRATULATIONS.
-YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE SET UP FOR YOU TO GAIN ENTRY TO GOD’S DOMAIN-
-REMEMBER THAT AS A GOD, YOUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO ACQUIRE DOMAINS-
-THIS DOMAINS CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF GOD’S DOMAIN AND USED AS AUTHORITY IN THE
VOID UNIVERSE-
-THE ULTIMATE DOMAIN IS THAT OF THE SUPREME GOD-
-HAVE A NICE TIME.
The white world broke into pieces with that farewell. Legion-1 found himself in a forest. He couldn’t examine his surroundings yet because his mind was being shackled by the rules of this world. The decisions he had made earlier were used to create a vessel for his mind. This granted him a body to move with, but it also reduced his already weak perception of the world around him. He could see all around him before, but now he can only see through the two eyes on his face.
A/N: Humans will finally be shown in GREED.
