Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1149 - 763: Spreading Flames of War

The Abyss is vast, and the Segis World is merely a single Main Material Plane. If the Abyss launches a full-scale invasion, it’s hard for the various forces of the Segis World to resist without the power of the True God.

Therefore... from the very beginning of this war, the key to victory or defeat lies with Her Excellency the Goddess.

However, since the war began, both the Holy Mania Empire and the equally affected Southern Aries Kingdom have sent envoys multiple times to request assistance from the Life Church, but the church’s high-ranking officials have only dispatched some Chosen Ones to participate in the battles, without delivering any news of the Goddess’s descent.

Not to mention the rising rumors, even Sofia vaguely senses that somewhere unknown to her, something indeed went wrong...

As the Divine Favored of Her Excellency Eve, Sofia’s faith is very steadfast.

But precisely because of her firm belief, her expression became even more solemn after hearing the rumors.

Stroking the blessing necklace given to her by Lady Ling, Sofia could clearly sense the gentle power of Her Excellency the Goddess.

This power indicates that the faith of Her Excellency the Goddess still exists.

But if that’s the case, why hasn’t Her Excellency the Goddess descended in a physical embodiment yet?

This truly is a perplexing issue, even for her as the Divine Favored of Her Excellency the Goddess.

Recently, even when praying and communicating with Her Excellency the Goddess, Sofia rarely received responses, and even when they came, they were often vague and simple instructions, quite different from the previously precise and clear style of responses. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

That feeling is like a thin mist has formed between her and the Goddess, or it’s as if some other existence is responding on behalf of Her Excellency the Goddess.

It seems that this situation first appeared exactly when the news of the demon invasion arrived.

Regarding this matter, Sofia... doesn’t dare to delve deeply into it.

However, despite her confusion, Sofia firmly believes that Her Excellency the Goddess is surely fine and surely has Her reasons.

As the Divine Favored of Her Excellency the Goddess and the governor of the Fengyue Free Territory, the only thing Sofia can do is unite all possible forces to block the demon invasion at the borders.

With that in mind, Sofia stood up from her seat and commanded the guard outside:

"Prepare the carriage, I need to go to the Life Church."

...

About twenty minutes later, Sofia arrived at the Life Temple in Zelolan by carriage.

After announcing her arrival, she finally met the Chief Priest of the Fengyue Free Territory diocese, a beautiful female Elf, in the temple.

"High Priest, the pace of the demon invasion is increasing, and with our current strength, I’m afraid we cannot resist their army. I need to enlist brave warriors from the various Elf Chosen One Guilds to defend the Fengyue Free Territory."

Sofia said seriously.

The expression of the Elf Priest became solemn, and she nodded:

"Governor, I understand."

With that, she summoned a remarkably handsome Elf Priest and addressed him:

"Lord Xia Mu, Lady Sofia has a new task and needs to broadcast it to the Chosen Ones..."

Upon seeing the summoned Elf Priest, Sofia felt a stir in her heart.

She recognized him as an Elf Chosen One.

It’s said that among the Elf Chosen Ones, there’s a magical telepathic connection. By conveying a message to one Chosen One, all Chosen Ones could potentially become aware.

And noticing the iris emblem on the other’s clothes, Sofia also recognized that this Chosen One is likely a core member of the super large guild "Heart of Nature" in the Elf Guild.

Heart of Nature...

Upon thinking of this guild’s name, a familiar figure inexplicably surfaced in Sofia’s mind.

A playful, nonchalant smile, strange hairstyle, and those fleeting yet not unpleasant times of cooperation.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in the girl’s eyes as she murmured with some emotion:

"Lord Dema, where are you and what are you doing now?"

...

"Achoo—!"

On the high platform, clad in the pure Priest’s clothes, Dema sneezed violently.

Mumbling "Who’s talking about me behind my back again," he adjusted his attire.

However, at the next moment, a new system message floated before him:

[Ding—]

[Sofia von Wels’s affection for you has increased by 1 point...]

Dema:...

He was momentarily stunned and couldn’t help but touch his nose, muttering softly:

"Why did the favorability increase again?"

The image of a sharp-tongued Half-Elf lady flashed through his mind, his expression a bit peculiar.

He shook his head, cleared his throat, and looked toward the platform below.

Then, with a smile on his face, he continued his passionate speech:

"So... dedicated believers, only by firmly believing in Her Majesty the Goddess can we achieve ultimate victory in the war against the Ocean Evil God!"

As soon as his words fell, a wave of enthusiastic applause erupted from below the platform.

These were believers with badges bearing the scepter symbol on their chests, appearing fanatical, with numbers in the thousands, filling the entire square.

Among them were not only Elves and Half-Elves but also Humans, Half-Elves, and other common land races found throughout the Minder Continent.

Seeing the excited believers, Demacia was quite satisfied.

He raised his right hand, solemnly declaring:

"For the glory of Her Majesty the Goddess! For our beautiful future!"

And the believers below, excitedly raised their right hands as well:

"For the glory of Her Majesty the Goddess! For our beautiful future!"

Feeling the warm atmosphere below the stage and hearing the system prompt indicating task completion in his ear, a trace of joy flashed across Demacia’s face.

Then, he changed the topic, chuckling as he continued:

"Furthermore... hehe, I have another matter to introduce to you believers."

Saying this, his expression became more amiable, and his tone more friendly:

"Dear friends, have you... heard of Amway?"

...

Holy Mania Empire, Southern Border Territory.

Once beautiful plains were now shrouded in darkness, faint clouds beginning to form above the sky.

That was the encroaching Power of the Abyss, beginning to erode this world.

Trees were already felled, made into siege engines one after another, and in the sky, countless flying beasts ravaged and howled.

They were so numerous they covered the sky like a swarm of locusts.

On the ground, an endless Demon Army roared and bellowed like an apocalyptic flood.

Beneath their feet were human bones, and their eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness.

A tall demon cloaked in flames stood atop the walls of a smoke-filled human city, relishing the ongoing slaughter within.

Until the last scream vanished amidst the mocking laughter of demons, did he slowly withdraw his gaze.

"Lord Astalos, all the land has been transformed, all creatures slaughtered, shall we continue our advance northward?"

A rough yet respectful voice sounded behind the tall demon, belonging to a Demon Monarch in a cloak.

Around his neck, hung a necklace made from the skulls of Humans, Demons, and other races, each skull representing a Legendary Professional fallen by his hands.

This was a powerful Legendary Demon Lord.

Yet, even he was respectful and awed in the presence of the tall demon.

Called Astalos, he chuckled lightly, withdrawing his gaze.

He raised his head, looking toward the northwest.

In the distant northwest, the sky remained clear blue.

The pure sky tormented the tall demon’s heart, intensifying his desire for destruction.

That was the direction of the Fengyue Free Territory.

He took a deep breath, hot sparks spraying from his nostrils as the mighty pressure of a Demigod presence spread:

"No... leave part of the legion to continue assaulting the Human Kingdom, the rest of the main force is to change the attack direction."

"Our next primary target is the northwest..."

"Conquer Fengyue Territory, break through the Elf Forest!"

"The Life Goddess has already been sealed by His Majesty Leviathan, now is the time to eradicate the Life Church."

"As long as we extinguish its faith power, this war... will be ours to win."
