Boundless elemental territory, long yellow sand.

Ikali still sat on her throne, her azure hair gurgling. A giant with a mountain on his back crawled at her feet, as if blended into the yellow sand.

The flying sand was very well-behaved, and no matter how much it flew, it would never come even close to Ikali.

The Elemental Lord's face was like ice that had not melted for thousands of years, and time had stood still here, becoming meaningless, except for the occasional churning wave of sand to show the slightest fluctuation in her heart.

Suddenly, a mocking voice came, and Ikali opened her eyes suddenly.

It was as if she had been waiting for this scene.

In an instant, the sea of sand within the Elemental Realm rolled, and the rolling waves obscured the sky and the sun, almost smearing the entire world in an earthy yellow.

"Alduin, I knew you were going to laugh at me."

"Hehe......"

The voice of the Destroyer is still eternal, as if it came from a distance, with a lingering echo, like a retro aria.

"Humble as me, I only dare to hide in the depths of Niverheim and silently observe all this in front of me, how dare I laugh at the Elemental Lord who controls the most powerful power in the world......"

"Don't be pretentious, I know you're behind it. It was impossible for that fish to return to Lokan alone, and he alone could not change the current Jialan. ”

"You guessed it, Lord of the Elements...... I sent him back to Lokan, and it looks like he's caused you a lot of trouble. ”

"Yes, he destroyed all my 'collections.'"

There was not the slightest fluctuation in her voice, no emotion, no regret, or sadness, as if she were stating a trivial matter.

The two are like chess players who know each other's roots, testing each other's bottom line and demands, and whoever takes the lead will be at a disadvantage at this time.

Hearing her reply, Alduin was silent for a moment.

"Huh...... Morningstar doesn't seem to be at peace. ”

He let out a sigh of nonchalant.

"Yes, Morningstar is finally making waves," replied as if self-deprecating, as confident as guessing what the other person was thinking. "I guess it has something to do with you. It's just that it's just as much more than you might expect. I know my own child better, Gardenn will always be loyal to that person, and you're just being used by him. ”

"Exploit ...... Hehe, it's unavoidable, and there's no need to avoid it. My poor brother may be a little stupid, but I still remember one of his words...... 'Those who think they are out of things are often caught in the middle of it', how well you say, why are you not being used by me? Think about Watson...... You have to kill your most beloved and most loyal child with your own hands......"

Hearing the name, Ikali's expression moved slightly.

At the same time, the sea of sand seemed to suddenly riot, and the sand waves rolled violently, rolling up a whirlwind like a yellow dragon. The sky in Lokan also turned from clear to cloudy in an instant, and there was a dull sound of thunder, and for those mages who were not under the protection of the enchantment, they all felt the tremor from the magic web.

Lord of the Elements, angry.

It took a long time for Ikali to calm down.

In this regard, she still loses.

"Don't provoke me with words, time doesn't mean anything to me, I can wait, but you can't. I'm looking forward to the day when you'll be completely assimilated by Nilverheim, and when you become the will of that sea, and you can't do without it anymore, you'll completely lose the chance to return to Lokan, right? Your Excellency the Destroyer. ”

"Oh? Can you really afford to wait? Alduin scoffed, "It's been so long since that man disappeared, since my brother was killed by you, since you were alone in charge of Lokan...... Don't you notice something unusual? Even the evolution and turmoil of the past tens of thousands of years have not been as great as they have happened in these two years, and if I tell you that this momentum will continue, won't the Lord of the Elements panic?

"Garden has mastered a third of the humans on the Horse Plain, and Turing is next...... Eventually, the entire plain of the herding horses would become his place of faith. Divine power is almost useless to you, it can only be used to shape the elemental territory and strengthen the magic web, you are like a turtle that constantly strengthens its thick shell, guarding the nest and not daring to go out, but for him...... Hehe, it looks like you're the one who can't afford to wait......

"I don't want to look forward to what it would be like for a mature elemental god to burn the entire web with his vengeful flames...... When that happens, your melodious screams will pass through the walls of the world and into the depths of Nilfheim, and I will applaud and celebrate your singing. ”

"I will not die, and I will not return to Heru."

The answer sounded a little less confident to more like a feeble resistance.

"Of course the gods don't die, that's what the man said, but he's gone. My poor brother is convinced of this, and you know what happened to him better than I do...... In fact, you understand all of this, but you don't want to admit it, just like you always don't want to admit that you are helpless now...... Oh, how helpless, how pitiful, and pathetic reserved. ”

"Enough! Alduin! Now you can only hide and shout in the dark like a weakling. If you're just here to taunt me, you don't have to, think about how you can resist assimilation from the depths of your soul. ”

"Huh...... If that's what you think, why did you talk to me for so long? Hehe, since the Lord of the Elements wants to hear my intentions, and he can't let go of his reserve and take the initiative to speak, it is precisely because you have too many things that you scruple about that you will fail again and again. ”

"I don't need you to educate me! Explain your purpose, you filthy deformed creature. ”

Hearing such an angry reply, Alduin let out a string of piercing laughs, and Nilfheim suddenly tossed a huge wave.

For a while, he didn't speak slowly until he had laughed enough.

"It's very simple, I'm here to negotiate conditions."

"On what terms?"

"Before I talk about the conditions, I need to confirm one thing...... You just lied, the so-called destruction of the collection is actually a lie...... At the very least, you should have saved one or two, right? ”

Ikali froze.

"I didn't get to see the pomp and circumstance of that day, but I can guess who made you so unbearable. If it was that human, there must have been an abrupt pause before he blew himself up, and he wouldn't have thought of it even if he had been well prepared...... And you won't fail to grasp such a valuable opportunity, right? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say? Isn't this your hand? ”

"Of course not, you probably look down on me too much. Remember Mangaza and the existence of the self-proclaimed 'testers'...... As that person's special creation, they can ignore the barriers between the two worlds, and travel between them with impunity, even shuttling between the windy sky and the dark abyss, and conduct unknown 'tests', without the slightest fear of your threat. ”

"Remember, what does it matter? Glazer is one of them too? No way, he's dead, there's no trace of him in either Heru or Lokan, he's been completely erased from this world, and he's not teleported away like those people, and no one knows this better than me. ”

"Yes, but that's where that brief pause comes from. When this type of person is facing death, they will receive a request for 'recovery', somewhat similar to the incarnation of Garden. Of course, if he had known beforehand, there would have been no pause, and he obviously didn't know ......"

Ikali frowned, "You're saying he betrayed that man?" Chose 'Decline'? ”

"He didn't know anything about 'betrayal', and his purpose was not 'stealing his life', so he naturally chose to refuse. Otherwise, none of your collections will be fine, and it will only be a false alarm...... Hehe, you should be grateful to that person, if it weren't for this abrupt mechanism blocking his actions for a moment, you wouldn't have preserved the collection at all. ”

Speaking of which, Ikali finally came to her senses and went around in a big circle, just to make sure she saved a few legendary spirit maids.

"Master of Niverheim," she sneered, "do you want to provide me with soul power as fuel?" To blackmail me into granting your request? ”

"You've finally been smart for once."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Destroyer!" Ikali suddenly said angrily: "You want Lokan to become a battlefield, you want me to fight with my own children and live together!" You've never stopped thinking about stirring up turmoil! ”

"That's right, haven't you also seen the feedback from the year 774 of the Faith calendar. If Lokan becomes a battleground, it will be good for you and me. You can attract believers in a big way, and I, too, can harvest a lot of high-quality souls......"

"Absurd, funny! Lokan is mine, why should I destroy my own for the benefit of others? What you really want is to make Lokan a chessboard, and my creatures and I are pawns in it, and you are the only one who stands out and watches it all coldly. Hehe...... What a brilliant idea, when we are both defeated, it will be time for the Destroyer of Worlds to appear and destroy Lokan. ”

"But you have a choice, Lord of the Elements." Alduin sneered, "What means are you going to use to get the soul?" Shoot at humans? Ha, I promise that Garden will spare no effort to thwart you, and even under your stimulation, the entire Horse Plain will unite like an iron plate, and you know better than me how much potential humanity has. The last time you made a rash move, your mother's rules imprisoned you forever in the magic net, if there is a second time, how can you be sure that you will not be erased by the rules?

"You've destroyed the elves, who are you going to put your claws on? Dwarf? Forget it, their weaknesses are much more difficult to control than the elves, you can't let the giants of the Sulphur Wasteland become believers, hahaha...... Those deformed lifeforms, which are innumerable from one to ten, may need at least 10,000 years of evolution to understand what faith is. Who else, orcs? Ha, those tendons are not as good as giants......"

"Enough!"

Inside's rage and the Elemental Realm were in turmoil, and she brutally cut off contact and blocked the back door left for the other party, not intending to have any more contact with him.

It took a long time for all this to calm down.

The yellow sand at her feet slowly formed a vortex, rolling up a hundred-meter-high pillar of sand, and the sand flew up, revealing a transparent nether, overlooking the great rivers and mountains of Lokan from here, with an unobstructed view.

The gaze of the Lord of the Elements wandered over it, skimming the Sulphur Wasteland, passing the Eagle's Nest, and passing the tranquil forests that had been reduced to ruins...... Over the Hengduan Mountains, over the Kadra Plateau, and for a long time in the Horse Plain.

Eventually, her gaze came to the ocean beyond the land, and she snorted disdainfully at the deep blue.

"Arrogant, self-righteous."

At the same time, deep in Niverheim, Niudra the Devourer of All Things curled up, soaked in the pale yellow soul broth like amniotic fluid, and the huge dragon's eyes clearly revealed a hint of mockery.

Immediately, he spread his broken wings and burst out of the sea, the high-speed air currents cutting through the fog, and the sound of explosions and roars made the entire sea tremble.
