Faced with the declaration of the Father of Nature, the God of Natural Disaster quickly made his own response.
The clouds cracked open, and silver light emerged from them. Behind the mist, ten huge halo wheels could be vaguely seen moving rhythmically, as if they were ten eyes watching the world indifferently.
Under the light of the apocalypse, purple lightning stretched across the sky, and magic surged like a tide in the sky. The surface of the Ilgona world began to tremble. As countless fragments of the world fell off the axis of space, a crack appeared in the sky. The center of high heaven.
Behind this crack is an unknown world that seems to have existed since ancient times and will exist forever. There is no light and no life there, only the rapid howling wind and extremely dirty magical energy. Because of the Array of Apocalypse, With the light, one could vaguely see the dry land covered in darkness, with countless black dust piled on it, forming hills.
Among the countless hills, a mountain-like behemoth is entrenched in the center of this chaotic darkness. It is like a lightless galaxy that is constantly rotating, an extremely twisted chaotic vortex, and in the vortex, there is Ten abyss-like dark holes, these holes are like eyes, quietly watching the world of Ilgna on the other side of the crack.
Twisted, dark, weird, indescribable.
It is impossible to describe this existence using human words, because it does not even have a specific shape. This giant thing that is rotating and changing all the time is like a ball of ink in the water, spreading towards the outside world full of malice, no matter how much it spreads towards the outside world. The power of chaos, but the concentration in its center has not diminished at all, and it will always be as distorted as a nightmare.
But suddenly, this existence made a sound.
"Woo——"
The sound was extremely weird, as if hundreds of millions of people were screaming and wailing at the same time. It contained endless pain, despair and resentment. With this sound, the dark world on the other side of the crack suddenly experienced horrific changes, and dirty magic scrolled. It turned into a crazy tornado, and the earth shook violently, as if the whole world was trembling in pain.
Hearing this voice, even the most courageous person will lose consciousness for an instant.
On the side, the elf guards who had been hiding for a long time were lying on the deck of the airship, unable to move. The braver ones could still close their eyes, tremblingly stand up, and drag their companions into the room, while the timid ones basically all Fainted, no mortal could maintain his mind in front of the twisted chaos.
Facing the frenzied and nightmare-like existence behind the crack, the paladin subconsciously raised his giant shield and took a step back. This was considered a good performance. The half-dragon subconsciously shrank his head and turned around, intending to find a place to hide. , but then it realized that it couldn't hide anywhere, so it looked up at the sky and let out a roar.
And Joshua stood in mid-air. The warrior clenched the sword and gun in his hands with a solemn expression, and looked up at the dark crack. He did not retreat, nor was he afraid at all. Instead, he saw everything in his eyes and remembered it deeply in his heart. .
He knew what it was, the Azure Orb was vibrating in his chest like crazy, and his instinct was also telling him the true identity of the other party.
That is the Lord of Chaos, the end of the world, the enemy of all order, wisdom and life, the monster that extinguishes the first flame.
Evil God, [Natural Disaster].
What a desperate sound, this is the last cry of a world, a civilization, 1.6 billion souls gathered in one place, mixed with the remains of the perished world, and turned into such a monster.
"Alright, mighty warriors."
But a deep voice overshadowed the wild wailing. In the giant tree, the will of the father of nature was wrapped in sacred and majestic pressure, and he said to everyone present: "I am almost fully awake. .”
With the end of this sentence, a green beam of light appeared again. It took the crown of the giant tree as its origin and went straight into the sky, activating the network that seemed to spread all over the world. Infinite divine power spread in all directions like ripples. , the stone demons that came into contact with this ripple, whether it was the air fortress or the Titan Colossus, all stopped running in an instant and returned to ordinary steel and rocks. Only the crack in the sky was not affected at all, still releasing frantic and The power of chaos.
This move seemed to consume a lot of Father Nature's physical strength. However, although his tone became a little slower as a result, it was still very smooth: "As you can see, this is the prototype of the evil god - a ruined world. , and the resentment of sentient beings entrenched in it.”
Is this the evil god
Although he had a premonition in his heart, the paladin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart, because the stone demons around him were swept away by the fluctuation of divine power, so he stopped and looked at the sky.
Loranda could see that on the other side of the crack, the terrifying existence was slowly squirming. It seemed to be approaching the crack little by little, preparing to extend its body into the world.
The moment he saw this scene, an extreme sense of danger stimulated his nerves. No need to guess, Loranda knew that if the other party really succeeded, everything would be irreversible, and the world would be like the one behind the Plague Land. Like that world, it was completely invaded and corroded by Chaos. Despite his strength and knowledge, he didn't know how to stop the opponent. Suddenly, the Paladin felt extremely nervous, and he also felt a deep hatred for his own weakness.
Even with the blessing of the gods, his own power is so inconsequential.
"No need to be nervous, user of Holy Light."
Unlike the regretful Loranda, Father Nature's voice was very calm. Rather, there was even a hint of smile in His voice now. This great will said to Joshua, Loranda and Hei gently: " The next step is my battle, and it has nothing to do with you, so... "
After finishing speaking, before anyone could react, in front of the giant tree, a ray of green light flashed in the air, distorting time and space, thus opening a faint blue door. This door was wide open, and you could see it leading to a place. Familiar mountain range.
There is no need to think, even the Paladin can recognize it, it is the scenery in the Great Ajax Mountains.
After opening a new portal with great ease, the Father of Nature said leisurely: "It's over. Thank you for helping me and supporting me until I recover, so that I can awaken in a perfect posture without having to pay a price."
"Now, you can go back."
It seemed that the news was too shocking. Neither Loranda, Hei nor Joshua spoke. They either looked at the Father of Nature in confusion or shock. No one reacted first.
In response to this, the giant tree did not respond. His voice was very calm, as if this matter was not worth mentioning: "Back then, I moved an entire elf city from the Mycroft continent to this world. But now, I am just... It’s just opening a new portal, to the gods, this is nothing.”
"After you leave, I will send a group of healthy elves back to their hometown who are absolutely uncorrupted by Chaos. Then, I will completely block this passage and cut off the connection between the two worlds. I will never allow the evil god to take advantage of it. Opportunity. Don't worry, soldiers, this is the only thing I can fully guarantee."
The first person to react to the father of nature's words was undoubtedly the warrior.
Unlike Loranda who was lost in thought, and Hei who didn't understand what was going on at all, Joshua frowned and said: "Father of Nature, you can also go back. Your current strength has been restored. Once you have achieved prosperity, you can definitely go back.”
Unlike other people who do not understand the power of gods, from the divine impact that banned the movement of the stone demon in the entire world just now, the warrior can clearly understand the strength of the seemingly gentle giant tree in front of him.
That is a majestic and terrifying power even among all the gods today! That is a great power that should not even exist in a physical world!
Let alone opening a portal to the North, Father Nature can open a space-time fault to Mycroft Continent just like he did thousands of years ago, and return to his hometown easily, even taking all the remaining things with him. It's just a matter of time before the elves go back together.
Of course, this is impossible. If Chaos is a plague, then the entire world of Ilgona is a sunken ship infected with the plague and about to capsize. Even to ensure the purity of the fire, the Father of Nature cannot let the elves arbitrarily Return to Mycroft Continent, and the identification process takes time, so I let Joshua and others go first.
The giant tree also responded to the warrior's doubts.
"The inheritor of the sages."
There was a trace of regret and a trace of relief in the voice of the Father of Nature. It said in a low voice: "I ran away once."
"But this time, there will be no escaping."
The giant tree slowly shook its body, and countless green light flakes fell from the backs of the leaves. These light flakes scattered on the soil, suddenly giving birth to lush woods and shrubs. The Father of Nature watched all this, He slowly He said with a smile: "I am the god of the elves, and I should live and die with them."
The voice was decisive, leaving no room for turning. Joshua seemed to want to speak, but was interrupted by the giant tree.
An old and wise face appeared on the giant tree. The father of nature looked down at the world, his eyes full of pity, and said softly: "It was me who brought them to this world. It was me." , I chose to transform this world, and I chose to sleep so that the elves can develop freely."
"Everything started because of me. It was also my transformation of this world that was so drastic that it attracted the evil god of natural disasters, so I should be the one to fight against it."
"This is the responsibility of the gods."
The Father of Nature in his previous life must have awakened hastily to face the evil god, but now, he is facing the enemy of chaos in a state of full power after sleeping for thousands of years.
Therefore, green beams of light penetrated the sky and the earth, forming a green network. This network covered most of the world of Ilgona. The remaining elves looked at the green lines, not knowing what it meant, but originally The [natural disaster] dust and mist that filled the entire world was completely absorbed by the green lines, as if the sewage was wiped away by paper. The dark clouds instantly dispersed, and the sunlight returned to the world.
More than a thousand years ago, at the end of the Era of Glory, due to the sinking of the Elf Continent, the Father of Nature took all the elves in an elven city to escape from the Mycrof Continent and came to the world of Ilgona.
Initially, the air in this world was extremely turbid and unsuitable for elves to survive. The violent magic elements even limited the elves' ability to cast spells. In order to change this situation, the Father of Nature decided to transform the entire world.
He pierced his roots into the earth, implanted it at the very end of the earth, and absorbed all the magical elements in the world as energy to transform the world. To this end, the Father of Nature created a network to transmit these energies and purify all impurities.
This is a huge project that even the gods would find difficult to accomplish. Even the Father of Nature, the ancient god, fell into a deep sleep because of this. But even so, this network still exists and is even still operating.
But now, the Father of Nature, who has completely activated it, is not proud of this miraculous purification scene. Instead, he shakes his head and laughs self-deprecatingly: "My method of transforming this world is really too radical. , and even angered the will of this world.”
"The reason why the will of this world also looks on coldly when faced with the invasion of evil gods is because to this world, I am also an evil intruder and an evil god in a certain sense."
Although he said this, there was no trace of regret in the voice of Father Nature.
Because all this is for the spirits who respect Him as God, He has no complaints whether he makes choices, takes responsibilities or bears sins.
In this regard, Joshua and others were silent. They looked hesitantly at the time and space channel in front of them, and then turned to look at the chaotic cracks in the sky, as if they could not make a choice. At this moment, the warrior suddenly spoke.
"You are right. No matter whether it is a god or a human being, no one should regret their choices and should shoulder their own responsibilities."
He ignored the chaos that was gradually spreading in the Chaos Crack. His red eyes did not turn towards the portal at all, but looked directly at the giant tree. Joshua said to the Father of Nature frankly and sincerely: "But, the Father of Nature Ah, human life has no purpose, but human existence is different. Everyone has their own wishes, their own lives, their own pursuits - but neither humans nor gods, nor any existence, should follow From the very beginning, it’s headed in the direction of failure.”
His voice became deeper as it reached later. Joshua spoke word by word and said to the god in front of him with great seriousness: "You want us to go back because you feel that we will definitely die in this battle, so in order not to be implicated, They just asked us to leave early."
Father Nature was silent.
Then, He slowly said: "That is an ancient evil god."
The Father of Nature was not excited or angry because of Joshua's words. His voice was extremely calm, and it could even be said to be without any ripples. It was full of the calmness accumulated over time: "The evil god of natural disaster has long been in the Mycroft continent. It existed in this world before civilization existed.”
"Its power is unfathomable. Even what we see is only a part of its power. The real body of the evil god of natural disasters is a chaotic vortex floating in the multiverse. It is not just entrenched in a world in front of you. The twisted chaos in the world..."
"But don't give up either."
Joshua interrupted the other party: "Since you have decided to fight, you will naturally win."
"Fight and win."
This is my life.
