Game of the World Tree - Chapter 688
Chapter 685: God’s Wrath
In the central temple of the Kingdom of the World Tree,
Eve sat on her throne, looking at the war sand table in front of her, tapping the armrest of the throne gently.
The war sand table was the current Maple Leaf Territory and the southern part of the Border Territory, including the city of Ogus and the players who were attacking other cities in the Maple Leaf Territory.
The sand table did not show the specific situation of the players, but simply replaced it with light spots.
This was “He” controlling the situation of the entire holy war from a global perspective.
In this war, the players are likely to encounter the descending evil god.
The evil god may appear from Otto’s main force, or from the hinterland of Maple Leaf Territory, or like the imperial crusade army, when the players and the Red Maple Kingdom launched a decisive battle…
Eve could not confirm the specific details, but looking at the overall situation from the war sand table, monitoring the situation and being ready to take action at any time was undoubtedly the best choice.
Of course, most of Eve’s energy was still focused on the player legion besieging Zeroland at this moment, because this player legion was the largest among the players participating in the war.
If the evil god really descends here, if it is not dealt with in time, it will be the direction where Eve will suffer the most losses.
In addition to Zerolan, the second most important city is Ogus City.
After all, it is facing the siege of Otto’s army.
Theoretically, the players in Ogus City are under the greatest pressure, and if Otto fails to capture the city for a long time, it is very likely that the evil god will be summoned to join the battle.
Of course, in Eve’s view, that is when Otto finds that the siege is hopeless.
That is why Eve did not check it out immediately after the siege of Ogus City began, but continued to pay attention to the battle situation in other places.
However, just as Eve was happily watching the player army advancing all over Maple Leaf Territory, she suddenly heard a faint prayer.
“Hmm? Prayer?”
Eve raised her eyebrows.
With the increase of divine power, He had long handed over the task of receiving prayers and giving feedback to the increasingly perfect faith network. Under normal circumstances, the believers’ prayers to Him are automatically replied through the faith network.
For example, granting some kind of divine art, exerting some kind of blessing.
However, this time… the prayer sounded directly in Eve’s mind.
The prayers seemed to be unskilled, many of them were still stuttering, and the content was messy, and faintly… it seemed that some misspelled words and non-standard pronunciations could be heard.
There is no doubt that the education received by the prayers should be quite limited, and it is even possible that they are not senior believers of life.
This is worth paying attention to.
You know, in Eve’s setting, there are only two types of prayers that can be directly “heard” by Him.
One is saints and God’s favored ones.
The other is when a large number of believers pray for the same thing at the same time.
The former is likely that the saints and God’s favored ones have encountered some troubles, or prayed for their own guidance.
At this time, it is necessary for the gods to give some feedback.
The latter… means that it is either some kind of large-scale celebration, or the believers have encountered some troubles that they have to pray to the goddess.
Whether it is performing miracles in the celebration, or solving the difficulties of the believers just right, it can greatly enhance the believers’ sense of identity and strengthen their belief in themselves.
Obviously, this should be the latter.
With this thought, Eve quickly connected to the belief system and looked in the direction of the prayer.
“Ogus City?”
He was slightly stunned.
With her eyebrows raised slightly, Eve waved her hand and conjured up the situation in Ogus City. However, after seeing the current situation of the battle in Ogus City, her relaxed expression quickly turned into a solemn one, and the solemnity soon turned into anger:
“Beast!”
The gods were angry, and the whole Garden of Eden was in turmoil.
A small number of petitioners, hundreds of elemental fairies, and more than a hundred oak guards knelt down and prayed in fear.
Noticing the impact of her anger on the Kingdom of God, Eve quickly calmed down, but her expression became more gloomy as she looked at the conjured picture.
Eve thought that she was not a good person in her previous life, but just an ordinary vulgar person.
Even if she became a true god, even if she was worshipped as a benevolent savior by some believers, Eve also clearly understood that her real purpose was only for her own survival and development.
Perhaps when it did not affect herself, Eve did not mind doing some good deeds.
But compared with the traditional kind gods in the world of Segos, and compared with her fallen predecessors, Eve thought she was far inferior.
But even so, Eve had a bottom line in her heart.
There were some things that He would not do even if He had the ability to do them.
Looking at the illusory picture in front of her, Eve frowned tightly.
It was a picture of groups of civilians being forced by soldiers to attack the city.
Most of those civilians were not even extraordinary people. If the players had not deliberately put them on the city wall, they could not even climb up the city wall.
Obviously, attacking the city was not the goal, but something else…
Looking over the battlefield, Eve looked at the huge number of souls that did not return to the underworld or the Kingdom of God after dying in battle, but were strangely floating in the sky, gathering more and more, and even affecting the weather over the city of Ogus, making the entire battlefield a little gloomy…
His heart moved:
“Sacrifice?”
His gaze changed again, Eve looked across the void to the distance of the battlefield, saw the army of the Red Maple Kingdom, saw the command camp stationed on the hills behind the army, and saw the Red Maple King Otto standing on the hills and looking into the distance…
His gaze quickly focused on a shining badge in Otto’s hand.
“Heh, these guys who have fallen into the abyss, don’t they know how to change their routines over and over again?”
Eve’s expression flashed a trace of sarcasm.
“Since you want to appear so much, then I’ll give you a chance.”
He gently stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.
Following Eve’s actions, the vast life force crossed the void and surged towards the temple of Ogus City and into the statue of the temple.
Then… a golden beam of light shot up into the sky.
…
“What happened?”
Looking at the change in the direction of Ogus City and feeling the sudden surge of energy fluctuations, King Otto of Red Maple frowned slightly.
For some reason, a trace of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
Subconsciously looking down, Otto looked at the badge in his hand again, but when he saw that the symbol of life force was completely lit up, his eyes quickly turned into astonishment:
“Full…full?”
“Life force is full?!”
Otto was subconsciously happy at first, then quickly calmed down, and suddenly a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.
However, before he had time to react and respond, a red light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, as if some power entered his body.
At a certain moment, he seemed to see the shadow of a skull necklace.
The next moment, Otto heard an ethereal and somewhat indifferent voice:
“Summon your master.”
He was stunned for two seconds, and then bowed respectfully:
“As you wish.”
Sorry, today’s post is rather short.
I’m stuck with the writer’s block. I don’t know how to write this climax. I want to write something different from the orcs before, but I feel like I’m stuck in a certain routine…
I’m still not satisfied with the chapter I posted. I wanted to postpone it for a day and think about how to write it, but I couldn’t think of a good way to write it, so I just posted it.
To be honest, I think I failed to write this plot, and I didn’t write out the feeling I wanted… I
‘m still too green, and I need to read more professional books on writing to improve and recharge myself.
The more I write, the more I feel that there are too many areas where I need to improve, too many to count.
Well, take your time, and thank you for your company along the way.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
(Although I don’t celebrate foreign holidays_(:з」∠)_
