Chapter 724: The Price of Integration

Mortals always feel that it is just for the gods to protect their believers, but what do the gods think?

Mortals always wishfully try to impose their will on the gods, hoping that the gods will do everything that mortals want, otherwise they will not believe in the gods once they have a choice, which is the belief in gods.

This is why the character of the deity is easily influenced by its priesthood.

Every day, every night, every month, every year, for thousands of years, hundreds of millions of years, and unknowingly, the gods are easily kidnapped by faith.

In the eyes of the elves who pursue perfection, their god-king should be synonymous with perfection.

Corellon did just that without realizing it.

Demand yourself with perfection.

Appear in front of all the elves in a perfect image.

Treat every believer and every existence who deals with the elves with a perfect bearing, so that every person and every existence feels that the elves are so perfect and superior, and that the elves are the most beautiful and perfect creatures in the world.

The performance of Corellon over the past billions of years has been so perfect that every elf, every elven from God, has been convinced that every decision he makes must be the right one.

However, there has never been a perfect being, not even a god.

The gods with powerful divine power have the advantage of being at home in the kingdom of their own gods, and have not had foreign enemies invade for hundreds of millions of years, and have spent hundreds of millions of years as chess players.

Because of the destruction of the world, those gods who were once high have to go down to earth, from chess players to chess pieces who want to fight in person, are they used to it?

Before the Year of Destruction, the gods' greatest nickname was 'The Immortal'!

When the immortals who used to be able to handle everything by sending an incarnation become a living person who can also be easily killed, the unknown side of the gods will also be revealed at the most critical time.

Like what. No courage!

What is Courage?

Courage can be a very illusory existence.

There have been mothers who rushed into burning houses to save their young children.

There are also mortal husbands who lift boulders weighing more than a ton to rescue their wives.

That's courage!

Courage is everywhere, and courage can be absent at any time.

At the same time, of course, it was not only the elves who were invaded. For example, the No. 21 Floating Continent of Tyr was attacked by the combination of the second-generation demon prince Tarantula Misca and Chaos this time, and at the height of the battle, more than 10,000 Obirys demons killed the third layer where a large number of mortal refugees were located.

Just when almost everyone thought that Tyr was about to be defeated and that all the refugees here would be slaughtered, the goddess of luck Timorrah appeared.

"I believe that good fortune should be with justice, goodness and hope."

The goddess of Tymorra, who has little fighting ability. In this way, he appeared in the middle of the refugee camp where the demons flew wildly, and openly accepted the worship of believers there.

At one point, Tymorrah was even killed by a second-rate demon lord, but luckily Tyr's new came from magic to kill him.

In this chaotic moment when demons are raging uncontrollably, and it seems that the gods are completely unable to protect mortals, the arrival of Tymorrah and what he did afterwards not only calmed the panicked and overwhelmed hearts, but also let the people know that there are still gods who care about their mortal believers.

"I need your support!"

The exaggerated power of belief was transformed into the divine power of Tymorrah.

A miracle happened.

The paladins of the Tyre camp slashed demons, all kinds of critical hits, and all kinds of gods dodged the opponent's attack.

Then the demon fights the paladin is all kinds of misses, accidentally injuring teammates, walking on the street, drinking water and stuffing teeth.

Except for those area attacks that are destined to be hit, the combat situation is strange. It just drove the demons crazy.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it hadn't been for Tamorah's extremely brave step forward this time, Tyr might have been on his knees.

Under the radiant performance of Tymorra, it seems that the performance of Corellon is terrible.

Not only did he escape from his body, but he also ejected his entire Divine Kingdom with an emergency escape pod of nearly 600 square kilometers in the floating continent.

If it weren't for the last minute, Raven had Tampas, Leila, and Mishakai bring more than 10 Raven's Servants and more than 100,000 high-level golems to the rescue, repelling the Abyss Alliance. Then today is the day of the demise of the elves.

Even with Raven's rescue, the damage to the elves in this battle is incomparably great. Whether it is in terms of personnel, materials, gods, spirits, and spirits...... At all levels, it was a huge defeat for the elves.

More than one and a half million elven warriors and civilians were killed, hundreds of elven settlements were burned to the ground by the flames of the abyss, and almost all of the war trees and treant guards were burned to ashes. More than half of the elven gods, including Zoronor, the god of elven bows and arrows, have fallen, and even the kingdom of God has been blown up.

The only survivors are Angelis, the goddess of life, Hennali, the goddess of love, Sahanni, the god of prophecy and illusion, and Elisetsu, a dark girl who doesn't know if she is in the elven god line.

Adrily summoned the wind and rain, and the rain hastened to extinguish the flames.

Raven's incarnation is here. He saw Angelis standing in the rain in a daze, and he was about to walk over, but he didn't expect Angelis to be the first to turn around.

With one hand and a long weapon with a bit of a zigzag scimitar, the Spear of Twilight, stood silently in the pouring rain.

She didn't open the shield of divine power, and let the rain pour down on her, and her long silky orange-red hair was stuck to her back because of the water. The emerald green eyes were full of gloom.

"Raven, is the elven race going to perish?"

Corellon's escape was undoubtedly a collapse of faith for Angelis, and indeed for the entire elven race.

Obviously it is just a patron saint of a single race, but it has been beautified and rendered as the most perfect symbol of omnipotence, but once this symbol falls off the chain at such a critical moment, it is the spiritual doom.

Raven was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't know how to answer. He can't make a move, although there is a relationship between the enemy gods and gods. Deep down, in order to complete the integration, he also wished that the major god systems would be unlucky sooner.

When he really faced this situation, he could only be silent.

This is the consequence of his choice to let it go!

Perhaps he can change history once again and save the entire elven race as a protective god. And then what? Let these proud creatures of freedom, beauty, art, and nature die again and again in the years of voyages that are desperately scarce?

Seeing those elven nobles, they would rather use the entire ship's space to carry artworks than install a few more ancient war trees. Raven felt sick.

But Raven couldn't say or do anything from the beginning, because the god king of the elven race was Corellon, not him. And those elven nobles acted like this, all of which were acquiesced by Corellon.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Corellon is still in power. There is no day for the elves to come out.

So Raven was waiting, quietly waiting for the elves to plant a big heel.

The only thing Raven didn't expect was that after history changed drastically, Corellon's performance would be very different.

In the history of the previous life, the elven god system was carried until the year of the voyage, and it was not able to survive merging with the natural god system of human beings. Then, because the concept and combat methods could not adapt to the year of war, it turned out that soon after arriving in the final land, the elven god system and the nature god system were wiped out together.

In this life, because of the intervention of the gods in the outer lands, the elves can be said to have pounced in advance.

On the contrary, the human nature god system has been strengthened with the addition of Fontia and Suren, who were independent families in their previous lives.

Come to think of it. Raven sighed.

Looking up at the world's most famous elven deity, Angelis whispered, "I have always believed that the pursuit of freedom, art, and beauty is the right thing to do. The fiasco of the elves today is mainly because the elves do not have enough combat power to protect these beautiful things. ”

She raised her head and looked at each of the elves wandering in the ruins: "The elves are not completely wiped out. If these people can survive the fierce battle that is coming, one day, they will be the spark for the revival of the elves. ”

"......," Angelis said at this point, and Raven already had a vague premonition.

"Raven, please grant my request."

"You say. I won't necessarily say yes. ”

Angelis looked at Raven with a blazing look in her eyes: "Please become the patron saint of the elves." Let the elves multiply. This is my only wish. Raven, for the sake of the elven blood in your body. ”

"Yes, but the elves will live according to my rules in the future." Raven raised his first finger: "First of all, all adult elves, regardless of gender, whether high or low, will receive military training or mage training according to their specialty, abolish the aristocracy and parliamentary system, and completely merge them into the military system of Death Shadow." All juvenile or elderly elves are involved in the logistics of the war. ”

Raven held up his second finger: "Second." Away from safari and mere gathering, the lifestyle was replaced by more efficient farming. All household items were rationed in wartime. ”

"Thirdly, all large-scale entertainment other than the Holy Day of the Divine Spirit and the festivals I have proclaimed shall be cancelled, and the daily entertainment shall not exceed one hour."

Raven finished the conditions in one breath, then turned around and left. He knew that Angelis would not agree.

Really......

"You're going to completely destroy the traditions of the elves!" Behind Raven, Angelis shouted.

"Then you and the elves will drown with the tradition!"

Raven let go of the harsh words, and then disappeared.

Back in his temple, Raven sat on his throne and let out a long sigh.

Leila came over and leaned lightly on Raven's shoulder.

"Raven, are you in a bad mood?"

"Well, sort of."

"Do you think you're doing something wrong this time?"

"No, I'm not wrong. The world is going to be destroyed, and all races must change for the situation. ”

"What if you refuse to change?"

"The only result is destruction, and no one can save them." (To be continued.) )

PS: The elves hit the streets is what I've always wanted to write about. It's not that I deliberately black elves, but I think that this kind of creature with an absolutely liberal and naturalistic character must be the most unlucky under this kind of apocalyptic world.

Again, the cowardice of Corellon, I think it's more like the inevitable collapse of a perfectionist imposed by outsiders.

Okay, the foreshadowing is basically over, and then it's time for all parties to kneel and lick.
