Dark Shadow Shrine

Ordinary people always think that it is fair for gods to protect their believers, but what do gods think?

Mortals are always wishful thinking to try to put their own wishes on the gods, hoping that the gods can do everything the mortals want, otherwise if they have a choice, they will not believe in the gods.

This is why a deity's character is easily influenced by its portfolio.

This is the case every day, every night, every month, every year, thousands of years and hundreds of millions of years. Unknowingly, gods are easily kidnapped by beliefs.

In the eyes of the elves who pursue perfection, their god king should be a synonym for perfection.

Corellon did it without knowing it.

Demand yourself with perfection.

Appear in front of all elves with a perfect image.

Treat every believer and every existence that deals with the elves with a perfect attitude, so that everyone and every existence feel that the elves are so perfect and superior, and that elves are the most beautiful and perfect creatures in the world.

Corellon's performance in the past billions of years has been so perfect that every elf, every elf clan's god has firmly believed that every decision he made by Corellon must be correct.

However, there has never been a perfect existence in the world, even gods and gods are no exception.

The gods with powerful divine power have the advantage of home court in their own divine kingdom, and have never been invaded by foreign enemies 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 used to be high above all had to go down to earth. Are you used to changing from a chess player to a chess piece to fight in person?

Before the arrival of the Year of Destruction, the biggest nickname for the gods was 'Immortal'!

When the Immortal who could handle everything with just one avatar in the past has become a living being who can be easily killed, the side of the god that is unknown to outsiders will also be revealed at the most critical moment.

Like, no courage!

What is courage?

Courage can be a very illusory existence.

Mothers once 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.

This is courage!

Courage is everywhere. Courage can also be absent at any time.

Of course, not only the Elf family was attacked at the same time. For example, Tire's No. 21 Floating Continent was attacked by the second-generation demon prince Tarantula Miskaka and Chaos. At the time of the most intense battle, more than 10,000 Obiris demons killed the third floor where a large number of mortal refugees were located.

Almost everyone thought that Tire was about to be defeated, and when all the refugees here would be slaughtered, Timorah, the goddess of luck, appeared.

"I believe -- good luck should be accompanied by justice, goodness and hope."

Timora, a goddess with little fighting ability, just appeared in the center of the refugee camp where demons were flying around, and openly accepted the worship of believers there.

Timora was even slain in front of a second-rate demon lord at one point. Fortunately, Tire's new magical powers rushed to kill him.

In this chaotic moment when the demons were raging uncontrollably and it seemed that the gods were completely incapable of sheltering mortals, the coming of Timora and what they did after that not only calmed the panic-stricken 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 is transformed into the divine power of Timora.

A miracle happened.

The paladins of the Tire camp slashed at demons, all kinds of fatal blows, all kinds of critical strikes, and all kinds of divine dodges for the opponent's attacks.

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

Except for those range attacks that are destined to be hit. The strangeness of the fighting situation made the demons go crazy.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Tai Mora hadn't come forward so bravely this time, Till might have knelt down.

With Temora's brilliant performance, it seemed that Corellon's performance was terrible.

Not only did he escape, but he also took the emergency escape pod of nearly 600 square kilometers in the floating continent and ejected his entire kingdom of God.

If not at the last minute. Raven let Tempus, Laila, and Mishakai bring more than 10 Raven's slave gods and more than 100,000 high-level golems to the rescue, and repelled the abyss coalition forces, so today is the day when the elves will perish.

Even with Lei Wen's rescue, the damage to the elves in this battle was extremely huge. Whether it's personnel, supplies, gods, gods, or spirit... all levels are huge failures for the elves.

More than one and a half million elf warriors and civilians died in battle, hundreds of elf settlements were burned by the flames from the abyss, and almost all the ancient war trees and dryad guardians were burned to ashes. More than half of the elven gods fell, including Soronor, the god of elf bows and arrows, and even the Kingdom of God was blown up.

The only surviving ones are Angress, the goddess of life, Hennaly, the goddess of love, Sehanne, the god of prophecies and illusions, and Eilistra, the dark girl who doesn't know whether she is counted in the elf pantheon.

Adrienne called wind and rain, and the heavy rain accelerated to douse the flames.

Raven's avatar came, and he saw Angress standing in the rain in a daze. He was about to walk over, but he didn't expect Angress to turn around first.

Angress just stood quietly in the torrential rain with a long weapon [Spear of Dusk] with a sawtooth-shaped scimitar in one hand.

She didn't turn on the divine power shield, and let the raindrops fall on her. The soft orange-red waist-long hair was stuck to the back because of the wetness, and the emerald green eyes were full of depression.

"Raven. Are the elves going to perish?"

Corellon's escape was undoubtedly a collapse of faith for Angress and even the entire elves.

Obviously it is only the patron saint of a single race, but it has been rendered as the most perfect symbol of omnipotence by various beautifications. However, once this symbol loses its chain at such a critical moment, it will be the spiritual doomsday.

Raven was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't know how to answer. He couldn't make a move, of course it was due to the check and balance of the enemy gods. Deep down in his heart, in order to complete the integration, he also wished that the major gods would be unlucky sooner.

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

This is the consequence of his choice to let go!

Maybe he can change history again and save the entire elves with the posture of protecting the gods. Then what? Let these proud creatures who advocate freedom, beauty, art and nature die again and again in the years of voyages where supplies are extremely scarce?

Seeing that those elf nobles would rather use the entire space of the ship to carry artworks than install a few more ancient war trees, Raven felt sick for a while.

But Raven couldn't say anything from the start. Do something, because the god-king of the elves is Corellon, not Raven. Corellon's tacit approval was given to those elf nobles' actions.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Corellon is still in power, the elves will have no future.

So Raven waited, quietly waiting for the elves to stumble.

The only thing Raven didn't expect was after history changed drastically. Corellon's performance is also very different.

In the history of the previous life, the elf god system could not survive the merger with the human nature god system until the year of the voyage. Then, because the concept and fighting method could not adapt to the year of war, the elf god system and the natural god system were destroyed together shortly after arriving in the end.

In this life, because of the intervention of the gods of the outer world, the elves can be said to have rushed ahead of time.

On the contrary, the human natural pantheon has joined Chantia and Su Lun, who were independent in their previous lives. Stronger.

Thinking of this, Raven sighed.

Looking up at the most famous elf god in the whole world, Angress said softly: "I have always firmly believed that the pursuit of freedom, art and beauty is correct. 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 every elf 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."

"..." Angress said this. Raven already had a faint premonition.

"Raven, please be sure to agree to my request."

"You said, I may not agree."

Angress looked at Raven, her eyes were astonishingly hot: "Please become the patron saint of the elves. Let the elves multiply. This is my only wish. Raven, for the sake of the elf 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, high or low, will receive military training or mage courses according to their specialties, abolish the aristocracy and parliamentary system, and completely merge them into the military system of the shadow of death. All minor or old elves will also participate in the logistics of the war."

Raven raised his second finger: "Second, cancel the hunting and simple gathering lifestyle. Change to more efficient farming. All daily necessities adopt the wartime rationing system."

"Third, cancel all large-scale entertainment activities other than the holy days of the gods and the festivals I announced, and the daily entertainment activities shall not exceed 1 hour."

Raven raised the conditions in one go. Then turn around and leave, he knows. Angress would not agree.

really……

"You want to completely destroy the tradition of the elves!" Behind Raven, Angress yelled.

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

Raven dropped his harsh words and disappeared.

Back in his own temple, Lei Wen sat on the throne and let out a long sigh.

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

"Raven, are you in a bad mood?"

"Well, kind of."

"Do you think you did something wrong this time?"

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

"What if you refuse to change?"

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

PS: I've always wanted to write about the street rush of the elves. It's not that I mean the black elves, but I feel that this kind of creature with absolute liberalism and naturalism must be the most unlucky in this apocalyptic world.

Similarly, Corellon's counseling, I think this is more like the inevitable collapse of a perfectionist imposed by outsiders.

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