Chapter 888 178: The Ambition of the Simp Dog (Part 2)
"What do you mean?"
"We have redundant Great Druids to ensure the plan's completion. You can wait until we encounter the Blood-colored Demon Shadow before joining the battle. With your strength, you can fully control the combat rhythm and fight for a full minute."
"I've observed earlier, some Beastman Lords use this method to delay time. A battle's maximum duration is one minute; if there's no winner, it's recorded as a draw. Though a winning streak might be interrupted, it avoids additional battles."
"Lord Shadow Moon, you only need to fight a few battles, then you can return and let the redundant Druids take your place until we encounter the Blood-colored Demon Shadow again. After just two or three cycles, the Sun Rising Plan can be completed."
Shadow Moon nodded, showing understanding.
This gladiatorial arena doesn't require one person to fight through the entire match; substitutions are allowed midway.
Shadow Moon just needs a few consecutive wins and if she feels she's about to encounter the Blood-colored Demon Shadow, she can switch out. When other Druids have fought the Blood-colored Demon Shadow, she'll have a relatively lower chance of encountering it.
But it's not without possibility.
Because in each round of combat, the combinations are randomly drawn.
Humans are quite unlucky, having faced the Blood-colored Demon Shadow twice in succession.
Soon, Lin Rui, humans, and other Explorers realized that a new, incredibly powerful presence with an overwhelming Spiritual Reaction had appeared in the arena!
The Explorers immediately sighed in despair, while humans and the Mage Alliance cheered in excitement!
General Faraday shouted in excitement, "Shadow Moon has joined the arena! This indicates the elves are in critical danger. As long as Shadow Moon is killed, we'll dismantle the arena and then seal this monster."
[Magic Scroll: Promise of Illusion: Can temporarily alter a teammate's fate. During the skill's duration, any healing and damage effects will be settled after the Promise of Illusion ends. If healing exceeds damage, the healing amount doubles. If healing is less than damage, energy shifts, converting healing and damage values.]
With this scroll, the monster can't quickly kill humans and mages, and the alliance has a chance to approach and complete the control and sealing.
Gulian also felt slightly excited, saying, "Such a powerful monster, sealing it beneath the Mythical Wonder: Holy White Tower, can become a perpetual motion machine, bringing endless power to the academy. The Great Mage Gu Yan can even initiate interstellar travel, breaking through the Heavens and Myriads of Realms as a Traveling Mage!"
Clearly, once having this strength, Gu Yan will also break away from this Low-Tier Plane and advance to a higher position.
Perhaps the prophecy of world destruction in this world is not illusory, and the Great Mage Gu Yan might truly obtain the Plane Crystal Core!
At this moment, the mages' ambition is laid bare. Although they know the world's destruction is imminent, their pride and arrogance make them firmly believe this destruction is not at the hands of other forces but that their own force will extract the Plane Crystal Core, leading to the world's destruction.
Regarding world destruction, various factions aren't incapable of accepting it; it's just that the mode of destruction must be chosen by themselves.
To personally extract the greatest fruit and personally cause the world's destruction is what every faction hopes for.
At this moment, ambition's spread makes the orderly and just side more evil than the chaotic and evil side, becoming the greatest culprit of world destruction.
Gulian excitedly said, "I wonder if the Great Mage Gu Yan has taken action outside yet?"
As various factions battled fiercely within the Shadow Sky Curtain, the external world was undergoing dramatic changes.
The massive World Tree started to tilt entirely at this moment, causing a great tremor throughout the heavens and earth. This Colonization Star experienced a terrifying earthquake, with only Lin Rui and others within the Shadow Sky Curtain unfazed due to the reinforcement by the World Vine, preventing them from sensing this intense change.
Meanwhile, within the Elf Imperial Court, the previously mad and hysterical leading Dark Elf warrior Rillia had turned radiant and charming, striding into the Elf Empress's palace. She looked at the Empress, who lazily sat while resting her chin, and said, "How about it? Didn't expect your imperial court to be overturned today, did you?"
Yunning chuckled softly, saying, "Do you think your clumsy acting can fool me? Even Lin Rui, a Tier Seven youngster, quickly overcame his fear, while you, a Tier Thirteen powerhouse, stayed hysterical and couldn't recover for ages. Don't you find it unreasonable?"
Rillia alluringly placed her forefinger on her cherry lips and said coquettishly, "But you couldn't resist greed and imprisoned me in the World Tree's subterranean dungeon. Surprised, aren't you? We Dark Elves have longed for such a place. Otherwise, do you think Yalanna was captured by you for no reason? We wanted to experiment whether the World Tree had abandoned us Dark Elves!"
"Clearly, Mother World Tree is much kinder than you ungrateful Elf Green Pool. She still recognizes us as her children. You elves control the World Tree Vine; it's time for us Dark Elves to regain control of the World Tree Root!"
"But you destroyed Mother World Tree," Yunning said blandly. "That's how the world is: parents' love for you worthless beasts means nothing! Just as Mother gave everything to you, even her life, you turn around and destroyed her. You heartless beasts truly don't change, and driving you underground without annihilating you in the past was the biggest mistake!"
"Hahaha!" Rillia showed no anger nor guilt at the Empress's rebuke; rather she was full of excitement: "She deserved it! She favored another child for ten thousand years! During her favor, you elves lived carefree lives while we Dark Elves were violated by goblins, enslaved by dragons, and became playthings for all kinds of monsters! Now that we've established a foothold in the Underworld, does she want to buy us off with a few petty favors? Dream on!"
"We Dark Elves no longer need the World Tree! Such a useless existence ought to meet its fate of destruction. Her past injustice destined her to be consumed by the resentment and fury of Dark Elves!"
Yunning said blandly, "Indeed, if heaven wants someone doomed, it first drives them mad!"
"Hehe, stop putting on airs. If you truly cared for Mother World Tree's fate, you wouldn't have ended up in this position today," Rillia spread her hands and raised her chin in enjoyment. "Look, you've been abandoned by everyone; surrounded only by troops and races that have betrayed you. Alone, as an emperor trapped in the Imperial Court, just enjoy it!"
"Consider yourself lucky. If I hadn't promised to deliver you as a plaything to Starlight, I'd have made sure you're humiliated as we Dark Elves endured in the past!"
With that said, Rillia said excitedly, "Unexpected, isn't it? The one who betrayed you is the person you trusted most! Your loyal follower for ten thousand years!"
"Tsk tsk~ The resentment of unrequited love spanning nearly a thousand years, the obsession with madness and thirst has long driven this little man insane! Can't even imagine how he'll abuse you as his plaything! Perhaps grooming you into a bitch isn't a bad idea either."
"Just imagine, the exalted Empress, the unobtainable Goddess, kneeling at his feet becoming his loyal follower... I bet he'll vent furiously! Are you ready, my dear Empress? You will become the most precious plaything in this world."
"You've been arrogant too long! Too proud to notice those close by; without Starlight as an internal contact, how could I break out from your dungeon?"
