Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1234 - 802: Hell Core (2)

The players looked in shock at the lava gate, grotesque in design, exuding an aura of evil and fear, appearing before the Goddess, and momentarily forgot to act.

A cutscene?

The thought surfaced in Transforming Ji Gang’s mind.

Soon after, he saw the Goddess step forward and disappear into the lava gate.

Transforming Ji Gang was stirred and prepared to call the players to follow, but the next second, everyone heard the sacred and majestic voice of the Goddess echo in their minds:

"Protect this place."

Protect this place?

Transforming Ji Gang was slightly stunned.

He looked at Golden Dragon Mars, who had landed beside him, about to ask something, but noticed the other’s expression tighten subtly.

"The demons have arrived."

The golden dragon gazed into the distance.

Following his gaze, Transforming Ji Gang saw about a kilometer away, the void suddenly twisted, a blood-red vortex slowly formed and finally turned into a flickering light gate.

And soon more similar gates slowly appeared within a kilometer radius centered on the Triumph Stone Gate.

One after another, hideous demons emerged from them.

"Space doors... the demon gods in this layer of Hell have already discovered us."

Golden Dragon Mars spoke solemnly.

Hardly had he finished speaking when the clouds in the sky started to roll violently, lightning tore through the firmament, and more and more powerful presences began to coalesce...

"The Abyss Myth is here, the demon army is also here, prepare for battle!"

Golden Dragon Mars left a word, then with Mairrel and other Mythical Giant Dragons, sounded a long cry, flew toward the figure hidden in the clouds...

Meanwhile, Transforming Ji Gang swept his gaze over the increasingly gathering demons, raising the command sword high:

"Everyone attention! Construct a defense line centered on the Triumph Stone Gate and the lava gate, prepare for battle!"

...

On the other side, within the coalition of Heavenly Realm gods.

Three avatars of powerful divine power hovered mid-air, looking at the suddenly mobilizing demon army from afar, and the Abyss Demon Gods hastily retreating into the sky, they revealed expressions of surprise.

"What happened? Belusabab actually retreated? Isn’t that the Demon God City of the first layer of Hell? Just giving it up like that?"

War God Lode frowned slightly.

The power of the Abyss suppresses True Gods strongly. Although, from a True God’s viewpoint, the several hundred kilometers distance from the coalition to Demon God City is merely a thought, but that is only in the material realm.

In Hell, not only is space jumping unachievable, even divine senses are affected, unable to extend too far...

Unless there’s a special space True Divine Artifact.

Watching the demons gradually retreating, War God’s expression showed some confusion.

Starry Sky Guardian Rigdar’s gaze remained profound.

He glanced at the direction where the demon army was heading away, fell silent for a moment, and said:

"That one from Segis World has arrived."

"That one?"

War God frowned slightly.

He glanced at Rigdar, suddenly moved in heart, his expression changed.

And on the other side, Lord of Eternity, Yiteo narrowed his eyes, suddenly chuckling softly:

"What is he here for? How did he enter?"

Just then, suddenly, two divine lights descended before the three mythological beings, two True Gods of the human pantheon slowly emerged.

These were two temporarily condensed avatars.

"Lord God..."

They saluted Yiteo:

"Demon God Mamen and Belial have suddenly retreated their army."

"Retreated too?"

War God Lode was slightly taken aback.

Watching the direction where the demons left, he was filled with surprise and doubt:

"What on earth happened?"

War God Lode pondered with frowning brows for a moment, turned to look at the Lord of Eternity:

"Yiteo, let’s seize this opportunity to attack, regardless of what’s happening over there, the demon gods seem to be in trouble, this is our chance..."

The Lord of Eternity put away his smile, spoke softly:

"Attack? Attack from here, indirectly easing his pressure?"

War God Lode frowned, knowing who his counterpart referred to.

He took a deep look at the Lord of Eternity, fell silent for a moment, then said:

"Yiteo, the war between gods and demons is not over yet..."

"Of course I know."

Yiteo chuckled softly.

After speaking, he glanced at the coalition army below and said:

"Notify all participating lords... Lead the troops to follow the demons’ footsteps."

"However... Do not engage them in battle."

...

Passing through the Lava Gate, Eve arrived at a magnificent Demon Palace.

The entire palace was built from crimson stones, adorned with fierce demonic patterns. The corridors were wide and tall, making Eve, who came in her avatar form, appear very small.

Candle lamps hung within the palace, burning with deep flames, casting flickering shadows throughout the great hall.

The flames danced rhythmically, and faintly, a heavy heartbeat seemed to resonate from the depths of the palace...

On both sides of the hall stood rows of fierce demon statues, each over forty meters tall, varied in form, ugly and terrifying.

The moment Eve stepped into the great hall, those demon statues lit up one by one, twisting their stiff heads to look at her.

"Roar..."

One after another, roars echoed as each demon statue emitted a terrifying aura.

They suddenly gained the ability to move, emitting creaking sounds, then they lifted various weapons, their eyes blazing red, charging towards Eve.

Each of them... had the power of a Demigod Level!

Seeing the charging demon sculptures, a hint of surprise flashed in Eve’s eyes.

"It seems Azazel isn’t without mythical subordinates after all, except they’ve all been turned into mindless statue puppets, guarding their Abyss Core..."

She ignored the demon sculptures charging at her and continued walking towards the depths of the palace.

When those fierce demon statues reached Eve, it was as if they encountered an invisible barrier and could no longer advance a step.

Eve glanced at them lightly, and their bodies trembled slightly, beginning to crack all over, then suddenly shattered in a burst of golden light...

With powerful Divine Power, in the Abyss World, where there’s no limit to Divine Power, Demigods were no longer worth Eve’s attention, even though she came here merely as her True God Avatar.

Not to mention, these demon statues were merely puppets, at best considered "pseudo" Demigods.

Passing through one shattered demon sculpture after another, Eve traversed the grand palace hall, entering the palace’s inner chambers.

Vaguely, the heartbeat sounded louder and closer.

Following the route Azazel informed her of, Eve continued heading deeper.

As she moved forward, the heartbeat grew clearer.

The palace was vast and lengthy, and at the end, a long passage led into the darkness.

Without hesitation, Eve stepped inside.

As she entered the passage, the path beneath her suddenly brightened, it was a sea of lava.

The path Eve walked on was a floating staircase.

At the end of the staircase was an ancient hall door, and the heartbeat intensified.

However, at that moment, a fierce Red Dragon emerged from the magma, letting out a furious roar at Eve.

A terrifying power spread out, seeming to make the whole world tremble slightly...

This... was actually a Mythical Giant Dragon!

No...

It could no longer be called a Mythical Giant Dragon.

Seeing the lifeless eyes of the dragon, Eve recognized, it was also a mindless puppet.

A Demigod Level puppet.

Of course, as a dragon, its power was far superior to those demon sculptures earlier, though couldn’t battle a True God, it could eliminate any demigod sneaking in here.

The First Layer of Hell had no True Abyssal Myths, this power was sufficient to prevent any demon from entering.

Of course, to Eve, it was still insignificant.

She pointed gently at the dragon engulfed in flames, and the fierce dragon trembled slightly.

In the next second, like the previous demon statues, cracks extended over its entire body, collapsing with a roar...

Retracting her gaze, Eve ascended the steps.

She pushed open the door.

Beyond the door was a hidden chamber.

The chamber was small, less than three hundred square meters, empty and barren.

However, at the center of the chamber, an altar was placed.

The altar was three meters high, trapezoidal, engraved with dense demonic text.

Above the altar, a blood-red heart emitted a hazy glow, beating incessantly.

Seeing the vein-covered ominous heart, Eve smiled slightly:

"Found you."
