Game of the World Tree - Chapter 196

196. Chapter 196 It’s time to let go of the goddess

As the intersection of the underworld and the endless abyss, the dark land with chaotic laws also breeds a large number of powerful monsters.

Some are the fallen dead of the underworld, some are the creatures that strayed into this place and were gradually eroded by shadows and lost their minds, and some are simply shadow monsters born naturally in the dark land…

However, the number of the former two is not much compared to the numerous shadow creatures in the dark land.

This is because the dark land is remote and the laws are chaotic. Beings who can stray into there means that their own strength is extremely powerful, at least legendary, and the number is extremely rare.

Therefore, more shadow creatures in the dark land are native shadow monsters, that is, humanoid shadow creatures summoned by dark believers to attack Black Rock City.

It’s just… Although there are fewer undead or living beings who strayed into the dark land and degenerated into shadow creatures, once there is one, it means that it is definitely a strong one in the dark land!

For example… this shadow dragon that suddenly appeared!

In the Segos universe, any monster that can be associated with “dragon” cannot be underestimated.

And this shadow dragon is actually some giant dragons that strayed into the dark land and had their souls eroded, and they became shadow creatures that can only devour and kill!

The thing that the dark believers were most worried about still happened.

When the summoning array was about to lose its effect, it actually attracted the terrifying existence of the dark land!

This huge shadow dragon was more than a hundred meters long, far from an adult dragon. It was actually an ancient dragon that fell!

And each ancient dragon was at least a legendary peak existence, and the most powerful even reached the level of a demigod!

Feeling the terrifying pressure from this shadow dragon, all the dark believers realized…

they were in trouble.

“Run!”

The leader of the dark believers did not hesitate and quickly gave orders to his men.

All the dark dwarves who believed in darkness gave up control of the summoning array in an instant, and followed him to turn around and flee deeper into the underground world…

As soon as the dark believers fled, the summoning array that was barely maintained lost its maintenance and collapsed.

The shadow dragon just glanced at them coldly, and his violent and chaotic eyes flashed with cruelty and excitement.

“Roar!”

It let out a deafening roar, and then took a deep breath in the direction where the dark dwarves were fleeing…

A powerful suction force came, and the fleeing dark believers were immediately sucked back.

The stones and soil on the ground, the plants in the underground forest, and even the scattered shadow monsters, all flew up under the terrifying suction force, and along with the terrified screams of the dark believers, they turned into a vortex and were swallowed by the shadow dragon…

In the blink of an eye, a semicircular open space appeared in front of the shadow dragon!

The army of shadow creatures that lost the control of the dark believers fell into chaos, and faced with the pressure of the shadow dragon, those who were farther away hurriedly fled, while those who were closer could only crawl on the ground under the pressure of the shadow dragon, trembling…

The shadow dragon seemed to be very satisfied with what it had swallowed, and it roared again and began to swallow the surrounding shadow creature army…

The magnificent army of shadow creatures, in front of this shadow dragon, was like a group of dying ants, and collapsed in an instant.

The chaotic and spectacular scene stunned everyone in Black Rock City.

“What the hell!”

“What the hell!!”

The players were stunned as they watched the dragon-shaped monster raging in the distance.

“A dragon? It’s too big! Compared to it, Myriel is just a Chihuahua!”

“Isn’t it a BOSS? How do we beat it?”

“It’s covered in black smoke. Is this a black dragon? A relative of Myriel?”

“Look! It’s devouring those shadow monsters!”

“Haha, could it be a friendly force?”

After hearing the players’ words, the dwarf temple chief looked solemn:

“No… These are not friendly forces, nor are they a dragon…”

“There are relevant records in the Code of Death. This is a shadow monster formed after the dragon fell into the dark land. It is called the Shadow Dragon!”

“Although it is called the Shadow Dragon, it is no different from the shadow monsters that are besieging us. They all only know how to devour and kill!”

At this point, her voice was bitter and trembling:

“It… is more troublesome than the shadow monsters that besieged us. It just forcibly crossed the space and consumed too much energy, so it devoured the shadow creatures…”

“Once it replenishes its strength, I’m afraid it will order the remaining shadow legions to target us again…”

The shadow creatures inherited certain characteristics of the abyss creatures.

They also have a strong desire to devour the creatures of the material world…

and lighting up the divine defense shield Black Rock City is like a beacon in the dark, which will surely attract the attention of the Shadow Dragon.

The statement of the Dwarf Temple Master was soon verified. The Shadow Dragon only swallowed a few mouthfuls, then raised its head and looked in the direction of Black Rock City.

Looking at the cold murderous intent and crazy devouring desire contained in the turbid pupils, everyone on the city wall felt creepy in an instant…

At the same time, as if they had received orders again, all the shadow monsters stopped fleeing and became orderly again…

“It has subdued these shadow monsters…”

For a moment, the Dwarf Temple Master’s face turned pale.

She gritted her teeth and looked at the players:

“Where does your teleportation array lead to?”

The players looked at each other and said:

“Rivendell.”

“Rivendell? Is it the former elven city… If I remember correctly, it is the territory of the Crypt Queen. It’s a bit close, but you can barely escape.”

The Dwarf Temple Chief muttered.

After that, she issued an order:

“Black Rock City can no longer be defended… Everyone, quickly escape through the teleportation array. If you are lucky, you may be able to escape…”

After hearing her words, the players looked at each other in bewilderment:

“Escape? Are you going to give up resistance?”

The Dwarf Temple Chief looked desperate:

“This… This is probably a shadow dragon with the strength of a demigod… We can’t resist it at all…”

“Do you know… Eight hundred years ago, the human magic kingdom was directly destroyed because it summoned a shadow dragon with the legendary peak strength close to the demigod level. Tens of millions of people in the country were slaughtered, which allowed the Holy Mannia Empire to rise from behind and become the most powerful country in the human world…”

“And that shadow dragon was also destroyed together with it after the Pope of the Eternal Church performed the divine descent…”

“This time, the Deep Rift Cave is likely to be destroyed, and the nearby Elf Forest is probably going to be destroyed, so… Run away!”

said the Dwarf Temple Chief.

“Close to demigod? Legendary peak?”

After hearing her words, the players looked a little strange.

“Don’t underestimate the legend peak!”

The dwarf temple chief said seriously:

“In the era of the return of the true gods, this is the top power in the world of Segus, and the destructive power it causes is comparable to that of demigods!”

“Demigod…”

The players’ expressions became more and more strange.

However, what puzzled and surprised the dwarf temple chief was that after she finished talking about the possible strength of this shadow dragon, these elves seemed to be… relieved?

What… was going on?

Were these elves… scared by what she said?

Soon, she heard the elves talking again, and the content made her shudder:

“Hey! So it’s close to a demigod! That’s not something we can fight against…”

“I’m scared to death. I was worried about how to complete the task before, it seems that I have to go through the process again.”

“I feel sorry for the BOSS in advance…”

“It’s time to let go of the goddess. Who will go to El to summon the goddess’s incarnation?”

“El can’t do it. It seems that he can only summon once a month. But yesterday, a new god-favored person was added to the camp. Xiao Xianmao has already gone to find him.”

“Oh… I feel a little sad. The goddess is going to kill again. If we can finish the job, how much experience can this demigod-level BOSS provide!”

“You are thinking about Taozi. Hurry up. Kill as many shadow monsters as you can before the plot is over!”

After that, these players who originally planned to escape did not run away. Instead, they once again met the shadow army that started to attack Black Rock City again and continued to fight with them.

But this time… their battle seemed much more urgent.

True God? Incarnation? Plot?

After listening to the players’ discussion, the Dwarf Temple Master was somewhat confused.

However, she quickly realized that these elves seemed to be able to summon the power of the true god!

Was it the mysterious true god behind them who had reached an alliance with Her Majesty Hela?

She couldn’t help but have some guesses in her mind…

However, before she could think about it any more, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

The huge shadow dragon suddenly took a deep breath again, and then spewed out a gray dragon breath in the direction of Black Rock City!

The radius of this dragon breath was nearly ten meters, and the breath was extremely terrifying…

The cold and chaotic power arrived in an instant, instantly hitting the magic defense shield of Black Rock City and smashing it to pieces!

Black Rock City was instantly exposed to the army of shadow creatures.

“Oops!”

The Dwarf Temple Master’s heart sank.

At this moment, a crisp cold snort suddenly resounded in the cave:

“Hmph!”

Above the Temple of the God of Death, a female elf in a black skirt slowly rose into the air…

and as she rose into the air, her aura continued to rise, and the golden divine power continued to surge. Faintly, a sacred figure shrouded in holy light seemed to appear behind her.

The Shadow Dragon roared, and it aimed in the direction of Black Rock City and spewed out a huge dragon breath again.

The floating female elf gently raised her hand, and the vague sacred figure behind her also raised her hand…

A huge palm shadow slowly emerged, instantly blocking the dragon’s breath!

“God has descended and possessed me!”

The dwarf temple chief suddenly widened his eyes.
