Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1116 - 747: Tree of Life (Part 2)

The players excitedly mimicked the tone of the Elf Believers as they spoke.

After speaking, they no longer looked at the Goddess, leaving Eve behind as they rushed to descend to the city below, riding the two-legged flying dragons...

Watching the players depart, Eve withdrew her gaze and turned her attention back to the direction of the Tree of Life.

She gently patted the two-legged flying dragon beneath her, dismissing the summon, and then flew alone towards the direction of the Tree of Life.

Eve’s actions were swift.

Under the faint halo, she reached the vicinity of the hill where the Tree of Life was located in just a few seconds.

Flying so high and concealing her presence, she remained unnoticed by the flying Monster Knights below.

However, when Eve approached the Tree of Life, she suddenly felt an inexplicable rejection grow stronger.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to turn against Eve, the feeling akin to being inside the Divine Domain of a hostile True God.

As she flew further, Eve was somewhat surprised to discover an invisible barrier ahead blocking her advance.

The barrier was peculiar, seemingly powerful, and to Eve’s surprise, she found that with her avatar’s power, she could not breach it in a short time.

Of course, the suppression of her avatar’s strength was one of the reasons.

In the next second, Eve suddenly sensed multiple weak presences flying rapidly toward her from afar.

Gazing into the distance, she saw several black dots rising around the Tree of Life, gathering and forming ranks, then flying swiftly in her direction.

They were Knights riding flying dragons.

They uniformly wore silver armor adorned with floral patterns, distinguished by decorative ribbons of gold, silver, or pale green.

Leading them were a few Silver-armored Flying Dragon Knights with gold ribbons, appearing as Elves with sharp features and pointed ears, numbering over a dozen, most with black hair and eyes.

Next were the Knights with silver ribbons, their ears half-pointed, indicating they were Half-Elves.

The Half-Elves exceeded the Elves in number, totaling over fifty, and positioned behind the Elves.

However, the most numerous were the pale green Knights, likely totaling over three hundred, situated at the back of the formation.

Their races were more mixed, predominantly human, with some non-Elf humanoid races like Lizardmen and Halflings.

All Flying Dragon Knights held power above the Gold Rank, with the foremost Elves reaching Upper Gold.

The aura of the Shadow Elf at the very front, clad in a red cloak, was the strongest, likely reaching the pinnacle of the Gold Rank.

Although, in Eve’s eyes, this level of power was still insufficient, she was filled with surprise.

In this world called Minder, the concentration of Magic Power was very low, and the ceiling of combat power was below Legend. For several hundred Gold Professionals to suddenly appear in this world was akin to hundreds of Demigods abruptly surrounding in the Segis World.

In other words, the number of Gold Professionals present exceeded Eve’s expectations...

While Eve assessed the approaching Flying Dragon Knights, they also scrutinized her.

Their gazes were extremely serious, gripping their longswords and ready for battle at any moment.

"Idle persons are forbidden to approach the great Mother Goddess!"

The leading Shadow Elf said expressionlessly.

However, upon seeing Eve’s appearance, his gaze flickered for a moment, showing a flash of surprise.

Some of the Flying Dragon Knights even showed curiosity.

"Silver hair?"

"Elf?"

Eve heard the Flying Dragon Knights whispering.

Then, she noticed the attitudes of those common race Flying Dragon Knights instantly softened, their gazes toward her losing hostility and gaining curiosity and reverence.

Although the Half-Elves showed no reverence, there was a touch of respect.

Only the Elves at the front remained calm as they looked at Eve, but their calmness no longer held hostility, instead softening.

Noticing these changes, and observing the hair color of the Elves, several thoughts immediately rose in Eve’s mind.

The world’s Elves did not know her appearance.

The Elves in this world were not solely from the Shadow Tribe; other tribes were present, but there should be no silver-haired Moonlight Tribe.

The Elf Clan held a high status in this world, respected by other races...

"Honored Elf, the church decrees that no one can approach the great Mother Goddess lightly, nor use Magic to fly near the forbidden zone. Please leave promptly."

The leading Shadow Elf stated.

Upon hearing the elf’s words, Eve’s heart stirred slightly, preparing to respond.

However, at that very moment, the hundreds of Flying Dragon Knights before her suddenly convulsed, their expressions painful.

In Eve’s slightly narrowed gaze, she saw their skin shrivel instantly, turning into something akin to tree bark, while their hair transformed into branches and leaves.

In the blink of an eye, these hundreds of Flying Dragon Knights from various races had turned into one Tree-man after another.

And the Flying Dragons beneath them also underwent a transformation, becoming plant-like, akin to dragon-shaped creatures woven from plants.

Dots of red light rose in their eye sockets, their aura rapidly escalating, each reaching the level of the Gold Upper Peak.

They all turned their heads in unison, looking at Eve, as a heavy, synchronized voice slowly sounded:

"Leave this world."

That seemed to be some kind of will issuing a warning.

Upon hearing these words, Eve’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Her gaze shifted slightly, looking at the Tree-man knights and the Tree of Life behind them.

"Soul Manipulation, Tree-man Guard?"

Her voice held a hint of understanding.

[Soul Manipulation] is a legendary level spiritual magic that can dominate the soul of the target for one’s use, at the cost of the target losing its self.

And [Tree-man Guard] irreversibly transforms the spell target into a Tree-man Warrior, significantly enhancing their power, at the cost of burning their life, dying after battle...

"Leave this world."

The synchronized voice sounded once again.

Eve did not move.

And in the next moment, hundreds of Tree-men with Gold Peak strength uniformly raised their weapons and charged at her.

Seeing their hollow red eyes, Eve shook her head.

Soft divine power gathered around her, spreading continuously.

Dots of golden photons scattered, dancing in the air, and when they touched the Tree-men, the Tree-men shivered slightly, their forms suddenly collapsing...

Even though Eve could only exert the power of the Gold Upper Peak, a True God is still a True God, an existence mastering the rules, not something these temporary strength-enhanced puppets could contend with.

In just a fleeting moment, the charging hundreds of Tree-men disintegrated into ashes, merging with the photons, finally dissipating into nothing...

And after the Tree-men perished, Eve sensed that the souls of those Flying Dragon Knights had vanished.

The giant tree on the hillside trembled slightly.

At that moment, Eve detected a stronger hostility emanating from the Tree of Life.

In the distance, more Flying Dragon Knights began to soar, flying towards this direction.

Eve’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She took a faint glance at that giant tree and, after many thoughts, let out a silent sigh, deciding to temporarily withdraw.

The Tree-man puppets formed from the Flying Dragon Knights posed no threat to her.

However, the actions of this Tree of Life made Eve realize that the opponent did not care about the lives of those living beings that worshiped her.

She would unhesitatingly convert these living beings into Tree-man puppets.

After hearing the prayers of these beings, Eve had already listed them as her potential believers in her heart. If possible, she hoped her actions could minimize their harm.

As for this Tree of Life...

Eve could sense that although the opponent only had Demigod Peak power, it would be extremely difficult for her suppressed-form avatar to defeat them.

This Tree of Life seemed to have some connection with the origin of this world.

And at that time, she couldn’t predict what actions the opponent might take.

Eve decided to withdraw for the moment and strategize for the future.

However, before leaving, she suddenly felt a stir in her heart.

Turning back, Eve cast a [Alignment Detection] at the Tree of Life.

And upon seeing the manifested alignment aura, her gaze deepened even more.

The color was neither the white of the good alignment, nor the gray of the neutral alignment.

But the black of the evil alignment.
