Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

The Dark Divine Domain dissipated, and Holder’s aura

collided with the Realm of the Dead, causing the Dark and Shadow Kingdom to tremble slightly. Soon, it too collapsed spectacularly along with its master, beginning to crumble...

From afar, one could only see the grand spectacle of a Divine Country shattering in the sky.

Death God Hela stood high above in the sky.

She retracted the slightly dimmed Death God Scythe in her hand, while the dark divinity and shadow divinity left by Holder upon his fall transformed into two deep beams of black and gray light, returning to Hela’s hand.

She gently clasped them and put away the divinities, her majestic gaze sweeping across the Netherworld undead confronting each other on the battlefield:

"The traitor Holder has fallen. In the name of the Netherworld Sovereign, I give you, the dark clansmen, a choice: submit... or face destruction..."

Her voice was solemn and majestic, resonating over the Netherworld, spreading far and wide.

The entire world seemed to fall utterly silent at this moment.

Seeing their True God’s fall and hearing Hela’s majestic oracle, some fervent devotees and divine envoys of the God of Darkness and Shadow appeared in a daze.

They showed grief on their faces before their expressions turned fierce, madly charging towards Hela...

However, they didn’t advance far.

Hela merely glanced at them lightly, and all resisting entities trembled, their expressions showing pain before they burst into fragments, turning into powder under a certain mysterious force...

That was the power of the Netherworld Sovereign; all beings belonging to the Netherworld were subject to the Lord of the Underworld’s control, their life and death governed by the Netherworld Sovereign.

Seeing this scene, the dark clansmen still struggling widened their eyes, unable to contain their shock and fear, their faces showing awe.

"Clatter..."

Who knows who was the first to drop their weapon.

Soon, the dark army warriors who had been fighting against the Heroic Spirit Army threw down their weapons...

A series of clattering sounds of dropped weapons followed, with all Netherworld creatures involved in this rebellion giving up resistance, even the shadow creatures trembling and prostrating on the ground.

Everyone slowly knelt towards Hela.

Even the God of Eternal Sleep, Xius, and the Silence Lady, Ina, were no exceptions.

Their gazes were complex yet reverent, likewise giving up resistance, withdrawing their divine power, and bowing down to Hela...

The True God they followed had fallen, and they, as True Gods of the Netherworld with less than moderate divine power, had no qualification to resist, forced to bow their heads, pleading for the new Netherworld Sovereign’s forgiveness.

"Welcoming the Netherworld Sovereign, Death God, Hela Crown..."

They lowered their proud heads, respectfully bowing to Hela.

And with the actions of the two mythological figures, other Netherworld creatures belonging to the Dark Army also bowed their heads, respectfully saying:

"Welcoming the Netherworld Sovereign, Death God, Hela Crown..."

The resounding voice slowly echoed in the Netherworld, spreading further and further.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, in the Underworld of the Segis Plane.

All temples offering to Hela’s statues emitted a deep radiance, with beams of divine light shooting into the sky...

Every believer of the Death God felt a thrill deep in their hearts.

The Death Priests were the first to realize something.

They watched in shock as the power within them surged continuously, sensing the swiftly strengthening Death Divine Skill, and the vastly enhanced connection and elevation of faith, their expressions filled with joy and excitement.

Subsequently, they all knelt in the direction of the temple...

Upon the battlefield, the cataclysmic Shadow Army instantly lost control, beginning to turn on each other.

The situation spiraled out of control, with the Dark City State Alliance utterly losing control over the shadow creatures, suffering immediate backlash.

The Dark Church’s dark priests fell to the ground, eyes vacant, many weeping aloud...

The chief of Blade City, Brin, was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Dark Alliance army, once fiercely battling against the elves, suddenly fell into chaos, rapidly collapsing.

"What happened?"

He looked towards the temple, eyes filled with astonishment.

"It’s the Death God Crown! The Crown has become the true ruler of the Netherworld!"

Huo Xu’s voice came over, tears streaming down his face, his expression excited and fervent.

As a clansman of the True God, connected spiritually to the True God, no one knew better than him what had transpired.

"The true ruler of the Netherworld..."

Brin’s eyes widened.

As a devotee of death, everyone knew what this title meant...

It meant the Crown they worshipped had formally become the supreme of the Netherworld, reaching the legendary formidable Divine Power!

His expression quickly turned to excitement, likewise kneeling in the direction of the temple:

"Praise you! Great Sovereign of Death, Lord of the Netherworld!"

...

On August 2nd, 1072 of the Eternal Era, Death God Hela ascended to formidable Divine Power, officially unifying the Netherworld.

On the same day, the God of Darkness and Shadow fell, and the Dark Church became history.

The Dark Alliance’s army collapsed, and the Silent City State Alliance and the Elf Forest formed a coalition to counter-attack the Dark City State Alliance...

That’s a story for another day.

Losing the divine protection, suffering backlash from the out-of-control Shadow Army, the Dark City State Alliance’s resistance capabilities were severely diminished. Rather than a war, the ensuing conflict was more of a one-sided overwhelming push...

The Death Church achieved successive victories, and the chaotic faith of the Underworld saw the dawn of unification.

However, on that day of August 2nd, Death God Hela’s ascension to formidable Divine Power was not the only event shaking the entire Segis Universe.
