Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

The ethereal sacred music began to play slowly, and countless fluttering green photons suddenly appeared in the dark underworld.

Wherever the photons reached, life burst forth.

The Silent Alliance on the battlefield was surprised to find that their wounds began to heal rapidly, and on the ground, countless flowers and green grass, which could only grow in the ground world, began to sprout...

Flowers and grass grew continuously.

Petals fluttered, vines entwined, interweaving together to quickly outline a graceful figure in mid-air.

It was an elf.

She wore a holy divine dress made from flowers and vines, held a Life Scepter brimming with endless vitality in her right hand, and was surrounded by a golden Holy Light that illuminated the entire underworld with brilliant radiance...

She stood there, her face obscured, with silver hair reaching to her waist gently floating due to the stirring divine power.

Compared to the other few Demigod Level beings present, her body was only the size of a normal elf, appearing so small...

Yet, it contained terrifying power.

At the moment of her appearance, everyone felt the chaotic magic power in the air, which had been disturbed by the presence of several demigods, suddenly calmed down.

And this could only mean one thing.

This presence's rank and strength directly and forcefully surpassed all the others!

But, this was just the beginning.

The mythological elf suddenly raised her left hand, and a crimson beam of light appeared in her hand, instantly transforming into a beam that shot directly toward the Shadow Dragon, Darkness.

Darkness's expression turned drastically.

He roared, hastily utilizing divine power to resist and flapped his giant bat wings, trying to dodge.

However, the beam moved even faster.

It seemed to target Darkness, relentlessly wrapping around him regardless of his efforts, piercing through his defenses in an instant and entering his body.

After the crimson beam entered his body, Darkness's aura suddenly began to plummet.

His strength fell from Demigod Peak to Demigod Early Stage, then from Demigod Early Stage to Legendary, until he finally stopped at the Golden Rank...

This experienced Demigod Level Shadow Dragon was instantly knocked down from his rank!

As Darkness fell from rank, vines suddenly burst from the ground, imprisoning him and dragging him underground amidst his desperate screams...

In an instant, there was one less demigod on the battlefield.

Silence.

Eerie silence.

The Plague Lord, Ares, and the Seventh Demon God, Azazel, two avatars of Evil Gods, both looked solemn and prepared for a formidable enemy.

However, the elf-like presence simply smiled slightly, as if she'd done something of little consequence.

"Well, now it's two against two."

She spoke softly, her crisp voice ethereal and enchanting, stirring fond feelings in the listeners.

Yet, hearing it caused the two Evil Gods to feel a creeping chill.

At that moment, a thought simultaneously arose in their minds:

*If... that crimson beam had been aimed at them, could they have dodged it?*

The answer was uncertain, perhaps even a negative!

"Withering Heart! That's a True Divine Artifact... Withering Heart!"

Azazel spoke solemnly.

He gazed deeply at this mythical existence named Eve by the Demon Wolf Fenrir, his eyes full of caution.

Only then did the elves and two city-state alliances on the ground, having witnessed the entire process, realize what had happened.

"E... Eve? Life Goddess Eve?"

Dark Dwarf Huo Xu looked at the holy figure in mid-air, utterly shocked.

He opened his mouth, then turned to look at the Elf Army Commander Li Mu beside him, who was also staring at the goddess in mid-air, equally stunned...

Seemingly sensing the other's gaze, Li Mu turned his head slightly.

It was then that he noticed Huo Xu looking at him.

He coughed twice, then, mimicking the elven NPCs in his memory facing the goddess, said reverently:

"It truly is the goddess! I never thought she would take action herself! Praise the goddess!"

Huo Xu: ...

Life Goddess... Eve!

For a moment, those who knew some rumors about the elves behind the scenes realized the identity of the mythical presence in the air.

Meanwhile, the elf side erupted in cheers.

Accompanied by a sound like a tidal wave, shouts of "Long live the goddess" and "Praise the goddess" echoed incessantly.

"Life Goddess? Successor of the World Tree Yggdrasil's divine office?"

The Plague Lord Ares looked solemn.

He looked Eve up and down, pausing his gaze on the Life Scepter in her hand, as his deep voice resounded again:

"I didn't expect... someone to actually acquire the divine office of life and nature ahead of time, and even find the Life Scepter!"

"It must be Hela, right? In this world, if anyone could strip away the World Tree's divine office, it would be none other than her... It seems you are indeed her ultimate trump card."

"Substantial body, pure aura, I never thought you would be here in person!"

True God!

This was a True God's presence in person!

Only the presence of a True God in the flesh could give such a feeling!

Of course, seeing the Life Scepter in her hand, the Plague Lord Ares considered whether she might have created a suitable body using the Life Scepter, but actually, was merely an avatar.

But then he thought again, the other party didn't seem to have the need...

The power displayed by the opponent was already far beyond an ordinary demigod, aligning well with certain cognitions of Ares:

This was a newly ascended True God, but one who hadn't entirely mastered her power!

This matched everyone's understanding.

For that level of power, if it were an avatar, the original body must have at least reached the level of minor divine power.

For a newly ascended True God, even if the divine office has a high ceiling, such rapid advancement was impossible.

Of course, if he had recently communicated with a deity who suffered a loss in the war of faith, he wouldn't think so.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in this world.

After confirming Eve's identity, the Plague Lord Ares suppressed his apprehensiveness.

He looked at the Seventh Demon God Azazel, who was staring intently at the Life Scepter, and asked gravely:

"Azazel, can you handle it?"

Hearing his words, Azazel's goat-headed fiery face revealed a grim smile:

"Of course..."

"After using the Withering Heart, she's nothing more than a True God yet to master her own power."

After saying that, a fiercer flame suddenly erupted from his body, and his aura swelled continuously!

Instantly, a more powerful aura appeared on the battlefield, overwhelming Eve's presence.

The original body!

Azazel had actually come in person!

After revealing his true power, Azazel looked at the Plague Lord Ares again, with a playful smirk:

"As agreed, I'm only dealing with the Life Goddess; I won't interfere with anything else."

However, the Plague Lord seemed unconcerned.

He nodded lightly, saying casually:

"You needn't worry about that."

"Since Hela has played all her cards, my old friends would naturally be willing to appear too."

"We've longed for the life of that wicked wolf Fenrir."

As soon as he finished speaking, two enormous auras descended onto the battlefield.
