Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 193 - 187: You’ve Come, Yggdrasil
Chapter 193: Chapter 187: You’ve Come, Yggdrasil
To Eve’s surprise, the Death God Temple was extraordinarily quiet today.
Though the temple was always solemn and austere, it should have been bustling with worshipping believers and busy priests.
Yet today, the Death God Temple was almost devoid of people…
Even the rows of pews for believers to sit had been removed at some unknown time, making the entire hall look vast and empty.
All that met her eyes was a Death God Statue and a small figure standing before it.
She was clad in a black Death God High Priest robe, standing with her back to Eve, who had just entered from outside, her gaze fixed on the Treasure Bead in the right hand of the Death God Statue.
She was the female Temple Leader of the dark dwarves.
Eve’s heart fluttered, and she proactively dispelled the high-level concealment spell on her body.
In the hall, only the sound of Eve’s footsteps could be heard as she walked across the black stone slabs…
“You’ve come, Yggdrasil.”
Upon hearing the footsteps, the Death God Temple Leader slowly turned around, looking at Eve.
Her voice was calm and gentle, seemingly not the least bit surprised, as if she had already known, and her tone was like that of meeting an old friend after a long time.
However, upon hearing that final address, Eve felt as if her avatar was about to bristle with astonishment.
The Divine Power within her subtly surged, and she almost couldn’t resist unleashing her power to cast a spell to shred the person who spoke into pieces…
But, after realizing where she was, she barely restrained the impulse, looking toward the Death God Temple Leader who had spoken.
Just as she clearly saw the Dwarf Temple Leader, she was slightly stunned.
The dark dwarves had dark skin, gray-black hair, and eyes, which was how Eve remembered the Dwarf Temple Leader from the players’ perspective…
But now, the Temple Leader’s appearance was vastly different from what Eve had previously spied on.
Her gray-black hair had completely turned black, and her once-dark skin had become as fair as that of a human. The gray-black eyes had transformed into a pair of scarlet pupils, like an endless deep sea.
Her facial features were still those of the Dwarf Temple Leader, but the feeling she gave was as if she were a completely different person.
Standing there, she exuded an unspeakable sense of majesty and mystery, inspiring an involuntary emotion of reverence…
Divine Possession!
Eve’s pupils slightly contracted.
However, she quickly gathered herself, instantly having a pretty clear guess about the other person’s identity.
She first performed a gentle Elf Clan courtesy, then said,
“Seeing the temple’s stored faith power entirely depleted, I originally thought it was a Netherworld Guardian summoned here by the believers. But I hadn’t expected a True God in person…”
Upon hearing Eve’s words, the “Dwarf Temple Leader” seemed unsurprised. She glanced at her own hands, shaking her head and sighing,
“I’ve only managed to descend a sliver of thought by borrowing the body and power of a believer, unlike you who sculpted an avatar directly.”
After speaking, she waved her hand gently, and suddenly a series of bones appeared out of thin air on the temple floor, forming a solemn White Bone Divine Throne, on which she seated herself lightly.
But the grand and dignified throne seemed ill-suited to the stature of a dark dwarf. When she sat on it, her legs dangled above the ground, which looked somewhat amusing…
Seeing this scene, Eve felt a flicker of emotion.
From the ground behind her, several vines broke through the earth, transforming into a vibrant Thriving Vine Throne, upon which she also sat down.
Seeing the unabashed Natural Divine Power around Eve, the “Dwarf Temple Leader” raised her eyebrows slightly.
She looked at Eve, the corners of her lips curling into a faint smile as her cold voice carried a hint of playfulness:
“The Natural Divine Power… Should I address you as Yggdrasil, or simply Eve?”
Even though she had been prepared, Eve’s nerves couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Nevertheless, she quickly returned to her composure and replied with a faint smile,
“Eve is fine. My name now is Eve Yggdrasil… Hela Crown.”
After saying this, the aura around her flickered slightly, and her appearance changed once again. Abandoning her disguise and embracing her true form, she transformed from the Divine Favored Zero to her original avatar form!
Seeing Eve’s characteristic silver hair and purple eyes, dressed in a Holy Divine Dress adorned with symbols of nature, life, and elves, and the floral Divine Crown overhead, along with her calm demeanor, the “Dwarf Temple Leader” gazed with slightly complex eyes,
“Yggdrasil, you’ve ultimately changed… Yes, you are her, yet you aren’t her anymore. Perhaps it would be more accurate to call you the successor of the World Tree…”
With a sigh, she released a wisp of Divine Power herself, transforming once more…
Her stature surged, morphing from the original dark dwarf into a black-haired, red-eyed human girl, now donned in a black Priest Robe adorned with Death God patterns…
Her current appearance was identical to the Goddess Statue in the hall!

The Death God and Lord of the Underworld—Hela!
At that moment, all doubts vanished from Eve’s heart.
*Even though she appeared calm on the surface, inside, Eve’s heart had already roiled with waves of emotions, riddled with numerous doubts and concerns…*
*The ever-reclusive Death God Hela of the Netherworld had actually utilized a believer’s body to perform a Divine Descent!*
*It was evident that she was waiting for her and knew she was coming to visit.*
*But… how did Hela know?*
*When did she learn of her true identity, and how did she know she would come to visit her?*
*No… more precisely, Eve originally intended only to utilize the guise of a Divine Favored to get in touch with Hela’s believers and express goodwill in advance, yet instead, she directly ran into Hela!*
*Moreover… the other party had clearly been lingering here, aware of her arrival, aiming for her!*
*The opening words “You’ve come,” had practically spelled everything out…*
Nonetheless, fortunately, Hela did not seem hostile.
Perhaps seeing Eve suddenly fall silent, Death God Hela sighed softly and said,
“No need to worry, Ygdrasil… Eve Crown. I am the only True God aware of your return, and… I have no intention of revealing everything. You know that I, and the deities of the Heavenly Realm, are not allied.”
Hearing this, Eve’s heart relaxed slightly, yet the doubts still lingered.
“Hela Crown, when did you learn of my resurrection?”
She asked.
Hela slightly raised an eyebrow and replied,
“Approximately… when the magic power level of the Segis World began to return. At that time, I had only a few suspicions, but with the help of a believer, I saw what seemed to be your elf clansmen, which gave me more certainty.”
*She had suspected since the magic power began to return?*
*Eve’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly connecting more dots…*
*If Hela suspected… could the other True Gods suspect as well?*
“However, the other True Gods probably don’t know yet. After all… the one who secretly assisted the World Tree before its fall with the curse spell was me. I certainly have a clearer understanding of the changes in the curse spell than the other True Gods! So… after observing a little, I understood your return.”
Hela continued.
*The Divine Arts curse protecting the World Tree’s body was secretly assisted by Hela?*
Upon learning this, Eve’s heart surged with emotions.
*Wait… doesn’t this mean that Hela was essentially a half-ally of the previous holder?!*
Seeing Eve’s somewhat astonished expression, Hela continued,
“In reality, even if you hadn’t come looking for me after dealing with Holder’s group of errant followers, I would have gone to the Elf Forest to find you. However… since you’re here, that’s even better.”
After speaking, she propped her chin, looking at Eve with a teasing expression,
“So, how is it? My Soul Storage Orb, is it useful?”
Eve: …
