Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 322 - 305: Wrath of the Divine

The night in Fengye City was exceedingly quiet.

Every household had already shut their doors tightly and entered the dreamland.

The streets were cold and deserted.

Only the occasional stray dogs and cats, and scavengers huddled together for warmth in the city’s corners, added a touch of life to the dark city...

Suddenly, the Eternal Church in the city burst into a radiant glow.

The light was incredibly bright, like a sun rising in the night, illuminating the entire world as if it were daytime.

A grand, solemn, immense, and sacred aura suddenly descended.

The vagrants curled up in the corners of the city were abruptly awakened by the blinding light. They looked toward the church, sensing an oppression that seemed to act on their very souls, with expressions of awe and confusion.

Of course, there were also some who looked terrified.

They jumped up instantly, donned their hoods, and fled hastily in the direction away from the church...

"A divine miracle... it’s a divine miracle! This is the Lord’s divine miracle! The Lord’s will has descended!"

An elderly scavenger looked in the direction of the light, his expression fervent, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground in devout prayer...

However, as quickly as the light had come, it was followed even more swiftly by an angry roar:

"Nidhogg!"

That voice... carried immense rage and murderous intent, spreading far and wide over the dark and silent Fengye City.

The entire city was awakened by this authoritative, furious roar.

One by one, households relit their lamps, with many people opening their windows to peek out, while some bolder individuals directly opened their doors and walked onto the streets, curiously gathering information...

"What happened? Is it dawn?"

"I don’t know... I think I just heard an angry voice, as if someone was shouting a name..."

The people were still unclear about what had happened.

But soon, they noticed the origin of it all:

"The temple... look at the Eternal Temple! The Eternal Temple is glowing!"

"The light! I feel the sacred aura! This... this is a divine miracle! It’s the True God’s will descending!"

Seeing the Eternal Church radiating brilliant light, many believers were emotionally stirred.

However... their excitement soon turned into terror.

A golden light descended from the sky, seemingly crossing the void, and instantly struck the temple.

The light... brilliant, grand, sacred, and spectacular.

Accompanied by a colossal roar, the temple shattered in a dazzling glory, turning to nothingness...

The entire earth trembled, as if the apocalypse had come.

In that moment, the surrounding void twisted, with space faintly tearing.

Yet, under the soothing influence of the golden light, it quickly vanished.

And witnessing that light distinctly belonging to the Eternal Lord’s faith, feeling that power capable of destroying the heavens and earth, people collapsed onto the ground.

They stared wide-eyed, expressions of shock:

"Divine wrath... this is divine wrath!"

"By the Eternal Lord above! What happened at the church to provoke the Lord’s Divine Punishment?"

"Could it be... Fengye City is about to be destroyed?"

At this time, some devout believers apparently linked it to something, and with pained expressions, they prostrated themselves on the ground and began to wail loudly:

"The Despair Church... it must be those bastards from the Despair Church! They must have offended the True God’s majesty with their proselytizing in Fengye City!"

"I knew it! I knew it! The church let them run rampant, and it would definitely incur the True God’s wrath!"

"Divine Punishment! This is Divine Punishment!"

In no time, many believers knelt on the ground, wailing in prayer toward the direction of the brilliance.

The light of faith slowly emerged on them, transforming into white-gold photons, continuously absorbed by the pillar of light appearing in the sky.

Somehow, while everyone was praying, the divine glow hovering above the already turned-to-ash temple seemed even more agitated...

Even the most oblivious person could feel —

The True God... was enraged.

In the hidden underground hall of the Despair Church.

Upon hearing the angry roar, sensing the vast and sacred aura, along with the tremors of the entire world, the desperate believers also looked terrified.

Meanwhile, beneath the pyramid, a few players who had been following Demacia’s operation through the system’s live broadcast wore peculiar expressions.

"Did it make such a big commotion?"

Feeling the immense fury contained within the sacred aura, Yiteo was also somewhat surprised.

However, being a True God herself, she had a deeper understanding of this suddenly descended power.

That power far exceeded that of an ordinary demigod!

Even Yiteo felt her heart pounding from this kind of power.

She hadn’t expected the Eternal Lord to cross the void, descend will-force, and gather divine power into a ray of Divine Punishment to shatter her own temple!

As the leader of the human gods, the truly powerful divine force, the power of the Eternal Lord Yiteo, was probably not any weaker than the World Tree of the past...

The light just now, even though it targeted only the temple and deliberately contained its destructive power, was already the extreme that the Segis World could currently withstand.

If it were Yiteo’s Demigod Avatar, she would likely disintegrate into ashes on the spot.

Even her main form, without deploying a Divine Domain, would probably be injured.

It seemed...

Demacia’s operation indeed infuriated this True God.

This guy truly lived up to being the top taunting character in the game, pulling aggro to the max.

But putting herself in the True God’s shoes, if Demacia’s actions had been targeted at her...

Uh...

Yiteo felt she might also have been enraged enough to tear the person apart.

The statue... that was the True God’s representative in the mortal realm.

Only enemy True Gods who were in a life-and-death struggle would destroy each other’s statues, not to mention in the reckless manner of Demacia.

Demacia’s actions just now were tantamount to riding on the opponent’s neck and defecating for a True God.

Moreover,

when a True God’s will descends to the ground, without using an avatar, a common method is to rely on a statue for support.

In other words, temporarily using a statue infused with faith power as her descending body.

In that case...

Wouldn’t anyone explode if they found themselves toppled to the ground by ants, with filth poured all over them?

Yiteo imagined it slightly...

Wretched.

So wretched.

She silently drew a tree-shaped sign in her heart for the Eternal Lord Yiteo.

However, Demacia’s success also confirmed a suspicion in Yiteo’s heart.

That was Nidhogg had indeed hollowed out the Eternal Church in Fengye City.

Otherwise, Demacia could not have infiltrated the temple so easily.

Since this was the case, her plan succeeded too.

Because... the anger of the Eternal Lord Yiteo hadn’t ended yet.

Suddenly, the golden light above the temple flickered once more, a chilling wave spread out, sweeping across the entire Fengye City.

That was the Divine Soul fluctuation of the Eternal Lord Yiteo.

She was probing the entire Fengye City.

And sensing that surging Divine Soul fluctuation, Yiteo hastily retracted her presence, turning a deaf ear and pretending to be inconspicuous...

Of course, she wasn’t reassured. She used 0.01 point of Death God’s Power to cover herself and the players, concealing their original presence.
