Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

"Rest assured, as a token of gratitude for sheltering Diana and the myriad elves for millennia, I shall naturally heal her injuries."

High above on the divine throne, Eve smiled.

The pale blue spectral figure breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you, Lady Eve."

After speaking, He hesitated for a moment before adding:

"Imhettel, although stubborn by nature, isn’t truly malicious. He merely doesn’t know how to express his emotions... I hope you can guide him. I think... he won’t disappoint you."

Listening to Guy’s words, Eve gently nodded:

"I will."

After explaining everything, the ancient deity of the Rebirth faction finally relaxed a brow that had been tense with worry. Seeing his demeanor, Eve chuckled, saying:

"Lord Guy, you entrusted Imhettel to me, without considering the day when, if the Eternal Lord achieves greatness, he still may face danger? Or perhaps, you aren’t optimistic about Yiteo?"

After speaking, He looked into Guy’s ethereal eyes, filled with exploration.

Guy sighed and said:

"No matter what, the Eternal Lord is the closest to success; as for Imhettel... I knew long ago, from the moment he welcomed the Moonlight Queen into the Ideal Country, he was destined not to walk with us."

"What I can do is only to entrust him to you."

"If the Eternal Lord fails, when everything ends, I will bring you and him back to the Ideal Country to seek another opportunity..."

"However, before that, please sever all ties with the Segis World, not just the believers, but also those demigods..."

Listening to Guy’s words, Eve smiled slightly:

"So you’re saying, you aren’t optimistic about me at all?"

The pale blue illusion chuckled bitterly:

"It’s late... too late..."

"You were once the sole hope, but that path was long proven unfeasible by Lord Neo, and now, even if you’ve awakened, it’s already too late..."

"Without the key, you cannot prevail in this struggle."

Guy gently shook his head.

"Then... what if I have hope of finding Lord Neo’s key?"

Eve smiled slightly.

Guy’s expression froze.

He couldn’t help but gaze into Eve’s gleaming violet eyes, while Eve smiled, staring right back.

After a moment, Guy sighed and said:

"Apologies, Lady Eve, even if you found Lord Guy’s key, our Rebirth faction’s creed will remain unchanged."

"However, you are unlikely to find it, for that key vanished alongside Lord Neo; after Lord Neo’s disappearance, Rigdar once foretold, that the key... is no longer in Segis."

Saying this, the ancient god once again bitterly chuckled:

"Our goal is to leave here, yet the key is outside, so... what use is this key?"

Listening to his words, Eve pondered deeply.

After a moment, she nodded:

"I see... I understand."

After speaking, Eve didn’t say much more but rose from the divine throne.

"It’s getting late; the elves have also returned home, and I shall bid farewell."

She said.

And Guy nodded:

"Lady Eve, I will await you on the day everything ends."

Eve curled her lips:

"You see, you aren’t optimistic about the Eternal Lord at all."

Guy was slightly taken aback, while Eve lightly laughed and left the temple.

...

Dream Island Beach.

The Titan Giant Imhettel stood on the beach, with his pack behind him, silent.

The pack left by his long-fallen parents was the Titan Clan’s favorite storage Divine Artifact, and in the pack, there was merely an elf sculpture, a Titan Giant Sword, an Elf Soft Armor.

During his lengthy time on Dream Island, what truly belonged to him was merely these things.

Behind him, numerous living beings gathered on the coast, their gazes filled with complexity and reluctance.

Those were the intelligent creatures living on Dream Island, many had been cared for by him.

On the other side, an Elemental Giant made of water stood on a high platform, holding a scroll of blue and gold, his gaze complex.

He sighed deeply and loudly read:

"True God’s Oracle: Guardian Imhettel has violated the decree, now stripped of his Guardian qualification, and expelled from the island!"

After speaking, a pale blue radiance bloomed from the scroll, transforming into a streak of light rising skyward, flying onto the Titan Giant’s body, and faintly, a pale red glow emanated from him.

That pale blue light encountered the pale red glow, rapidly transforming into a strange burgundy, which encircled Imhettel’s body and then flew into the depths of Dream Island.

Watching the light depart, the Elemental Giant turned to the silent Imhettel, sighing:

"Lord Imhettel, from now on... you are no longer a Guardian of the Ideal Country. According to Lord Guy’s regulations, all mythical beings without Guardian status must not enter Dream Island’s domain without permission, please... leave quickly."

Hearing the Elemental Giant’s words, the Titan Giant gently nodded.

He turned around, bowing deeply toward the island’s depths, then adjusted his pack, and silently flew out of Dream Island.

"Lord Imhettel!"

The living beings on the island couldn’t help but call out.

Yet, their voices quickly drowned amidst the waves.

And the Titan Giant’s figure became increasingly distant, eventually vanishing along the shoreline.
