Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Mythical beings were powerful and cautious.

For them, having eternal time and immortal life meant that as long as they were careful and didn't seek their own demise, they could remain as rulers of the laws forever...

This had been proven by countless fallen True Gods.

Therefore, when the Fallen Angel Luria and the Pain Queen Alisa saw that Hela had quietly deepened her control over the Netherworld, not only was she able to project a portion of her power during the surge of Segus Magic and the loosening of the Plane Channel, but she also had control over the Death God Scythe, a True Divine Artifact that struck fear into all True Gods below the level of "Death"...

*They decisively chose to follow their instincts.*

Of course, this was also because, despite being mythical beings, they were at their weakest at that moment.

During the millennium when Segis World's magic waned, the powers of these Evil Gods who hid in the Underworld were greatly affected, with many even forced into slumber.

Now, they had only just awakened with the resurgence of Segus Magic, and their powers were far from fully restored.

Take Fallen Angel Luria, for example; though she was an Evil God with weak divine power, her current true strength was likely below that of a True God with weak divine power and would require some time to recover fully.

In such a scenario, if her incarnation took a hit from the Death God Scythe, it would affect her true form, and she would truly be finished.

The two Evil Gods decisively chose to sever their ties and escape to save themselves.

For a moment, the only one left besieging Demon Wolf Fenrir and Life Goddess Eve was the Seventh Demon God Azazel, who had come in his true form.

Azazel's expression was very unpleasant.

His giant ram's head formed by flames was full of astonishment, suspicion, and dread.

Though he possessed the ability for infinite resurrection, it didn't mean he was unafraid of being killed.

Resurrection took time.

Having slept in the seal for so long, he happened to catch the resurgence of Segis World's magic, with various ancient existences awakening, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity due to another slumber!

Yes, an opportunity.

For mythological beings, Segis World's magic returning and the loosening of seals presented a golden chance for those trapped to gain freedom; it was also their most dangerous time.

Because this was when the mythical beings were most vulnerable and most likely to fall.

For those with ambition, it was their chance to seize divine positions and power.

For example, a certain World Tree would prefer not to reveal its identity.

Therefore, after witnessing the Plague Lord being instantly killed and the two Evil Gods fleeing without hesitation, Azazel also decisively withdrew his magma, retreating underground swiftly, choosing to leave the battlefield.

Fortunately for him, Hela did not stop his retreat.

Only the Life Goddess Eve, seeing this, used the Life Scepter in her hand to cast an incomplete "Life Deprivation," summoned a golden beam of light, and struck Azazel on the head, draining a portion of his life force as he retreated.

After a muted groan, Azazel gradually disappeared from everyone's sight…

He was injured.

But he also escaped.

No new power was projected from the deep luminous portal.

After instantly killing the Plague Lord Ares, Death God Hela did not focus much on the fleeing Evil Gods but instead turned her attention to the battlefield.

That deep luminous portal flickered again, and from the place where the Plague Lord's incarnation collapsed, a hefty book suddenly ascended.

It was the Book of Death used by the Witch Demon King to control the Undead Army, also the power source for dominating the Fallen Undead and suppressing the Silent Alliance with Undead Magic.

The book floated gently into the air and ultimately disappeared into the luminous portal, vanishing from everyone's sight.

As for Witch Demon King Pelone, faced with the pressure of a True God, he could only watch as the True Divine Artifact bestowed upon him by the Master of Darkness and Shadow was reclaimed by Hela...

Indeed, reclaimed.

The Book of Death was one of the True Divine Artifacts left by the previous Primordial Death God and was also one of Hela's targets in this battle.

After reclaiming the book, the luminous portal slowly disappeared, and all returned to tranquility.

The mighty beings on the battlefield were reduced to just Demon Wolf Fenrir and the Life Goddess Eve, who had contributed only a tiny bit of effort, spending most of her time as a spectator.

Hela's power faded, and Demon Wolf Fenrir respectfully bowed to Eve, saying,

"Your Majesty Eve, thank you for your help. I must hurry to claim the Plague Lord's divine position before the other mythical beings, so I won't participate in the forthcoming events."

Eve nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Demon Wolf Fenrir howled long and loud and disappeared from the battlefield, heading to the location of the Plague Lord's true form.

Moments ago, Hela's scythe strike traversed the void, not only killing the Plague Lord's true form but also exposing his true body's location...

Undoubtedly, the Plague Lord Ares was another target of Hela's action.

With Ares' fall, his true form would surely leave behind a divine position, and "Plague" clearly correlated with Hela's "Disease," offering her the chance to perfect her divine position.

Eve even seriously suspected that the reason the other two Evil Gods fled so quickly wasn't solely to escape the Death God Scythe but also to compete for the Plague Lord's divine position.

As to why Hela didn't act against Azazel...

Eve thought, on one hand, it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, suspected that after killing the Plague Lord, Hela was already too exhausted.

Hela certainly hadn't fully controlled the Netherworld.

Otherwise, the God of Darkness and Shadow would undoubtedly have been the first to suffer.

Therefore... it could only be the Divine Blood Crystals that Eve had been providing, partially perfecting Hela's power, allowing her to wield the Death God Scythe and even leverage the Netherworld's connections with other planes to project her Divine Domain power.

Such an operation was presumably a strenuous one-time event.

Even if Hela could muster it again, the God of Darkness and Shadow, Holder, ever-present in the Netherworld, would certainly not let her proceed unchallenged once he realized it.

Therefore, as the two had previously agreed, dealing with the Seventh Demon God Azazel was still up to Eve herself.

Indeed, while Azazel had escaped, Eve had no intention of letting him go.

Her battle had only just begun.

Eve scanned the battlefield, then pursued along the mark "Life Deprivation" had just left on Azazel...

...

Battles amongst mythical beings came and ended swiftly.

In a flash, the entire battlefield held only the armies of two city-state alliances.

Of course, by this time, the Dark Alliance's army had suffered a crushing defeat due to the mythical beings' clash, leading to their complete downfall.

With the departure of the True Gods and the oppressive presence gone, the players snapped back to reality.

Once more, they raised their weapons, eagerly attacking the Dark Alliance's army.

After all... it was the perfect time to hit a drowning dog and farm experience!

Their relentless determination to leave none alive, to slay everything, left the soldiers of the Silent Alliance in stunned silence.
