Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Azazel fled quickly.

She transformed into a pool of magma, seeping through the cracks into the second layer of the Underworld, and escaped toward the deeper region.

There was a reason for her escape like this, because compared to the ground world, the Underworld was closer to the abyss.

And the closer to the abyss, the closer to the Hell Plane, the stronger Azazel became.

However, perhaps she fled too hastily, she never had time to remove the mark of the Life Scepter on her body, and Eve pursued her closely using this mark.

The two mythical beings, one chasing and the other fleeing, caused chaos throughout the Underworld, attracting the attention of numerous mysterious entities.

It wasn't until Azazel crossed the second layer of the Underworld and arrived at the deepest third layer that she gradually stopped.

This was the deepest part of the Dark Territory.

Because it was closer to the abyss, the magic here was far more chaotic than in other places, and coupled with the presence of magma everywhere, food and water sources were extremely scarce, making it almost impossible for ordinary beings to survive. Only various mindless aberrations and a few demon beasts existed here.

However, for Azazel, coming here made her feel a sense of familiarity.

She could feel the call of the abyss, stronger than usual.

And her strength was gradually recovering.

With a slight shake, she effortlessly dispelled the True God mark on her body, then turned to face the approaching Eve.

The fear and wariness on Azazel's face vanished.

She smiled faintly, the giant face of a ram's head formed by flames showing a trace of sarcasm,

"So, it is indeed a newly ascended True God who dared to chase me all the way here."

At this moment, she showed no sign of injury!

This Evil God had actually feigned injury under the attack of the Life Scepter to lure the other party here!

In fact, Azazel herself did not expect her ruse to work so smoothly.

However, she understood very well why the other party caught up.

For any True God rooted in the Segis Plane, the appearance of one of Hell's Seven Lords in this plane would be a nightmare.

No True God would refuse the chance to seal one away.

By sealing one of Hell's Seven Lords, they could not only protect Segis World from the abyss's corruption but also bring tremendous prestige to a newly ascended True God, earning the recognition of other gods!

Azazel understood very well why the other party pursued.

As for why Death God Hela didn't come... to be honest, when the other party didn't cast a second Death God Scythe, Azazel realized that one time was probably Hela's limit.

Now, she only had to deal with this Life Goddess.

Looking at the approaching Eve, a barely perceptible greed flashed in Azazel's fiery eyes.

A True God wielding life and nature!

Plus, she had a True Divine Artifact—the Life Scepter!

Although Azazel didn't have a rigid need for life and nature's god positions, devouring such a True God's power would aid her in quickly restoring her strength.

After all... although her race was a ram beastman-bodied Flame Demon, it was also a form of life.

Of course, the Life Scepter would be an unexpected delight.

As long as she could devour the Life Goddess's power, Azazel had confidence she could restore herself to her peak power in one go!

Moreover, if she could gain control over life and nature god positions, she could even reverse the laws to corrupt other intelligent beings within the Segis crystal wall system, making them more prone to fall into the abyss!

Thinking of this, Azazel's mood improved.

What did the failure of the God of Darkness and Shadow's plan have to do with her?

Her goal from the start was simply to fully restore her power.

Azazel raised both hands high, and the lava in the entire region suddenly erupted.

Lava flowed continuously, quickly surrounding the area and turning it into a sea of fire.

At the same time, the power of corrupt wickedness surged, beginning to distort everything...

This was Azazel's Divine Domain—the Fallen Fire Sea.

As a mythical being, Azazel also had her own Divine Domain.

However, just like a True God's power greatly diminished in the abyss, an Evil God's execution of their Divine Domain outside the abyss also faced suppression.

In the Segis World, the Divine Domains they executed were all reduced versions.

However, against a newly ascended True God who hadn't even mastered a Divine Domain, this was enough.

Azazel had no way to imprison the other through laws, but she could trap her in the third layer of the Underworld.

Then, she could take her time dealing with her.

The Fallen Fire Sea quickly blocked the exit to the second layer region, and the evil, terrifying power continually affected Eve's mind, consuming her Divine Power, causing her to frown slightly.

However, she neither feared nor was she angry because of it.

In Azazel's surprised yet understanding gaze, Eve did something many True Gods did when caught in another myth's Divine Domain—

She turned around and ran.

In an instant, the roles of chase and escape reversed!

Watching Eve flee, Azazel grinned.

Like a cat toying with a mouse, she blocked the opponent's passage to the ground world, turned around, and gave chase...

...

Eve continued fleeing towards the northeast.

And Azazel, grinning fiercely, followed closely behind.

She didn't directly move to stop the opponent but instead used the power of her Divine Domain to constantly erode the adversary.

She intended to corrupt the opponent's god position here and then devour her in one go!

The two continued their chase and escape, again embarking on a pursuit in the third layer region of the Underworld.

However, after fleeing several hundred kilometers, Life Goddess Eve gradually halted.

She suddenly turned around, looking calmly at the approaching Azazel.

The Fallen Fire Sea still burned around Eve, but half of her body had already turned black.

That was a sign of being corrupted.

Seeing her not-so-good condition, Azazel smiled slightly,

"Why did you stop? Don't you love a good chase? Have you finally reached your limit and decided to give up?"

This time, Eve finally spoke.

Smiling faintly, she shook her head gently,

"No."

"I just, got home, that's all."

With these words, in Azazel's astonished gaze, her body suddenly radiated green light, transforming into a mass of scattered photons.

Then, a powerful life force suddenly erupted, suppressing Azazel's Divine Domain in an instant.

At the same time, the surrounding space continued to distort, revealing an originally hidden space.

In that moment, Azazel saw numerous thick and robust tree roots...

They were the roots of the World Tree.

Being the World Tree, Eve's roots had long extended into the third layer region of the Underworld.

Here, it was not much different from the core zone of the Elf Forest.
