Chapter 694: The God of Life and Death Awakens

“Everything is already prepared.”

“Welcome the arrival of the gods!”

Inside the Recovery Temple, You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin stood at the forefront, with a large number of believers behind them.

These believers were different from other cults; they did not carry any polluted powers, only the elements of life and death.

Among them were many above the fourth level.

These were the true core believers.

At this moment, everyone looked towards the two at the front with fervent eyes, and under their guidance, began to pray, calling upon the name of the gods.

As the believers started praying, You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin respectively took out fragments of divine format representing life and death, placing them before the statue at the front, allowing the fragments to slowly float upwards.

“Great Haroldias, listen to the call of your most devout believers, descend upon Star Fall…”

The forces of life and death emerged from everyone, slowly being absorbed into the divine format fragments at the front.

A peculiar force emerged from the statue, slowly forming two entangled forces, guiding the divine format fragments to gradually merge.

In the underground subspace, invisible to everyone.

The organs representing Haroldias’s body began to activate, the monster shape displayed on the surface slowly cracking open, exposing the innermost core organs.

Then, all the organs slowly congregated along the patterns of the subspace, at the very center, the heart area, slowly coagulating into a human form.

This human form had two characteristics; one half of the body seemed withered, the other vibrant with life, even the hair and eyes were half white and half black.

Once the human form was completely coagulated, the fragments of divine format representing the elements of life and death in the Recovery Temple slowly merged into one, then vanished.

In the subspace, a complete and awakened fragment of divine format appeared, merged into the human form, and in the next moment, the human form suddenly opened its eyes, shooting out two beams of black and white.

The entire subspace began to collapse.

When the collapse was complete, the God of Life and Death, Haroldias, emerged from the collapsed area, appearing at the center of the underground array.

He looked at the polluted underground before him, his eyes flashing with cold light.

“Zeus, it seems I have awakened ahead of time, let me see what you have arranged to prevent my awakening!”

Haroldias’s entire body rapidly dispersed, each component finding the corresponding part of the underground array.

At the same time, his blurred shadow projected into the Recovery Temple, responding to the call of You Jelieya and Ze Lishalin.

“My most loyal subordinates, your efforts have been seen by me, I shall return to Star Fall, leading you to the shores of eternal life…”

He did not speak directly, but rather used some method, broadcasting directly into the hearts of the believers, making them feel as if he was speaking, or as if the thoughts were their own.

This mysterious method made countless people become even more fervent.

Haroldias looked at the two at the forefront, feeling the connection between them and himself, sending a message guiding them to enter the underground and meet his more solid projection.

Upon seeing the more solid projection of Haroldias, You Jelieya’s eyes never paused with excitement as he said, “Lord Haroldias, we have made all necessary preparations for your arrival, outside is currently troubled by demons from the abyss, now is the perfect moment for you to perform miracles and gather more believers!”

To awaken Haroldias, after releasing the demons, they stopped contacting the outside world, unaware that the outside was already occupied by demons and the entire Elf Race was in deep trouble, not knowing that Hilia had already used the array to clear out most of the demons, and although there were quite a number left, they were no longer a threat, without replenishment, those demons were like fish on a chopping board.

“The demons from the abyss are causing havoc again? Hmm, I have come to know, I… hmm?”

While responding to You Jelieya’s group, Haroldias attempted to seize his body from the array.

Suddenly, he noticed some unusual traces left within the array.

After investigating briefly, he slowly understood the meaning behind these traces.

“Left by Zeus, specifically as a countermeasure against the demons, used by some mortal outside in great abundance, excessively consuming the array’s power?”

Haroldias narrowed his eyes.

“The array’s power being greatly consumed has actually aided me, making it easier to reclaim my body, however, is the opponent Zeus’s representative, or someone else?”

Haroldias pondered, beginning to hasten the seizure of his body.

During this period, due to changes underground, anomalies began appearing across the entire Elf Forest region.

Firstly, the flow of magic power in the Elf Forest became chaotic, no longer normal, secondly, those pollutants that had been waning suddenly became frantic again, as if a force was expelling them, causing them to try to escape.

This situation attracted the attention of the Elf Royal Court, they quickly gathered to investigate the source of the anomaly.

In a short period, they locked onto the split of each pollution source, thereby concluding the issue originated underground.

This answer did not raise suspicion, as the underground’s massive array was the source of their calamity.

Now, after releasing two waves of disasters, what new calamity the source might release was no surprise to them.

Currently, with fewer demons remaining, they could re-enter the underground.

“This time, we must prevent disaster before it happens!” ordered the Elf King, promptly mobilizing numerous elves to continuously enter the underground through various openings for exploration.

After giving the command, a message arrived at the Elf King’s ears.

“Phoenix Kingdom’s reinforcements have begun mobilizing, they too are entering the underground.”

“Hmm, just observe them, no need to intervene for now, let’s see what they intend to do.”

…

“Lord Rose, aren’t we going underground?”

Feeling the disturbed flow of magic power around, Hilia looked towards Rose.

Rose shook his head, “No need, the underground might provoke unnecessary trouble, if he’s smart, he won’t disrupt my setup, attracting that ‘Evil God’.”

“Shall we just wait here?” Hilia looked towards the Recovery Temple faintly visible not far away.

“Yes, just wait, a battle will occur underground, let’s watch first.”

“A battle?”

Hilia was puzzled.

“Is it with the remaining demons?”

“No, it’s a battle between mortals and gods.”

“Ah?” Hilia froze, uncertainly asked, “Mortals, fighting gods?”

“Yes.” Rose’s gaze was profound, revealing no expression.

Hilia blinked, completely bewildered.
