Chapter 448 Lis's Determination!_2
When he saw that figure, Lis felt dizzy, a sensation just like the first time he looked directly at the Divine Incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
However, unlike the stiffness and immobility he felt then, the mental shock this time wasn't as intense.
He simply closed his eyes and composed himself for a moment before recovering.
At this point, in the Elf Royal Court, the only one capable of giving Lis such a shock of Divine Power was one person.
Demogorgon!
Could it be that His ultimate plan is about to begin now?
Lis had a vague premonition and dared not waste any more time.
Not knowing what Demogorgon ultimately wanted to do, but as a Demon Prince, one of the most powerful divine beings in both Gaia World and the Endless Abyss, He must have significant intentions to have paid such a price.
Although Lis didn't have much understanding of beings of a Divine Level, he was well aware of the prices Demogorgon had to pay to accomplish these things.
Haven't you seen so many deities of Gaia World gathering their Strength, waiting for the coming of the chaotic times?
Even those chaotic and evil deities who sought to strengthen themselves through warfare and Chaos relied mostly on the power of their subordinate churches.
An operation like the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts choosing to descend a Divine Incarnation was quite rare, not to mention Demogorgon directly destroying the Elf Royal Court.
The Elf Royal Court held extraordinary significance for the Elf Gods, especially since it was the birth and Ascension site of Correlon, the main god of the Elf God System.
Demogorgon's actions are akin to completely destroying the core of the Dawn Church, the Radiant Holy City.
Not to mention that such places had extremely powerful protective forces of their own, it was tantamount to making an enemy of the deity behind it.
In the previous life's game, before Demogorgon's actions led to Correlon's fall, the Elf Gods had no idea who was responsible for destroying the Elf Royal Court.
By the time Demogorgon no longer concealed His intentions, due to the fall of Correlon, the overall Strength of the Elf God System dropped significantly all at once.
As a result, during the Abyss Blood Battle, the Elf Clan could still maintain their strikes against the Abyss Demons in the Gaia World, thanks to their vast heritage.
In the battlefield amongst the gods, the main battlefield was spread among those few powerful beings, and the Elf Gods had no chance to intervene.
Even after paying a dreadful price, the Gaia World managed to repel the invasion from the Endless Abyss. As the instigator, Demogorgon did not fall but retreated to the Saltwater Swamp to lick His wounds and plan new schemes.
I have to hurry!
Lis, taking Angela with him, prepared to leave swiftly.
Just at that moment, Lis paused, his expression hesitating.
But still, he gritted his teeth and created a new Mirror Body avatar, concealing his form and slowly moving towards the World Tree Altar at the core of the Elf Royal Court.
Although it's said that if you don't seek death, you won't die, Lis wasn't willing to leave just like that.
The Abyss Blood Battle that the Lis of the previous life experienced was at most a game depiction and, while extremely realistic, was not something Lis had personally experienced.
Even before, nothing Lis had gone through gave him a shock as intense as the destruction of the Elf Royal Court at this moment.
While all the beings in that illusion were not real, the actual situation was no different from the past Elf Royal Court.
The Elves that Lis knew, who loved Nature and cherished peace, had all been reduced to ashes in Demogorgon's plan, not even leaving behind any remains, completely transformed into a previous, terrifying, bloody sea.
How intense was the shock that Lis felt?
In the future, the battlefield of the Abyss Blood Battle instigated by Demogorgon was no different from the current state of the Elf Royal Court.
Endless Abyss Demons poured into the Gaia World through the Demon's Gate, brutally slaughtering all living beings they encountered, devouring their pain-stricken flesh and souls.
It was a Blood Battle that affected the entire world, with six continents of the Gaia World completely swept into the war, leaving no one able to stay out of it.
On the Fanor Continent, the main battlefield was in the Elf Forest of the Elf Kingdom to the south, a verdant forest that covered the majority of the southern region of the continent, completely engulfed by the flames of war, turned into a domain of Death soaked with blood and flesh.
Even so, more than half of the Human Kingdoms were destroyed by the Abyss Demons.
Lis subconsciously thought that it was the storyline of the game from his previous life, just like the time of the Elf Royal Court's destruction this time.
He had been contemplating the threat posed by Demogorgon, considering his own safety, and considering how to obtain the World Tree New Bud growing atop the ruins.
But it wasn't until Lis personally experienced the scene of destruction that he suddenly realized this was not what he wanted.
He craved power, longed to control his own destiny!
This also helped Lis adapt quickly after finding himself reborn in the "Divine Revelation" game world, immersing himself fully in the process of increasing his own strength in just two short years.
Even with the guidance of memories from his previous life and the assistance of the system, everything that Lis had achieved up to now had come at the cost of hard work, pain, and sweat.
However, Lis suddenly realized that he wanted to change everything that was happening before him but was utterly unable to do so, and that sense of powerlessness filled him with extreme hatred.
The elves living in the Elf Royal Court were not particularly close to him, yet their deaths due to Demogorgon's schemes still made Lis uncomfortable; he could hardly imagine how he would accept it if such a thing happened in the Feis Kingdom or on his own territory.
Lis wanted to change all of this, he wasn't the Holy Mother and he couldn't accept these events happening before his eyes.
To grasp an even stronger power!
Even someone like Mr. Stephens, when truly facing an existence like Demogorgon, felt quite powerless!
Only by ascending to the Divine Throne above the high heavens and standing at a higher place could one truly control their fate!
Lis had never been as clear about his future path as he was now.
He knew he was currently incapable of resisting the might of Demogorgon, and sending his Mirror Body to the World Tree Altar might not be of any use, and could even attract Demogorgon's attention.
But he didn't want to give up even that sliver of a chance, perhaps the opportunity to change the predetermined future!
For that, Lis was willing to take certain risks!
"Go!"
After commanding his Mirror Body to approach the World Tree Altar, Lis and Angela's figures disappeared atop the city wall, swiftly leaving the Elf Royal Court behind.
...
Atop the World Tree Altar,
Demogorgon's entire focus was on the space portal under his feet that had opened to the World Heart, controlling the Abyss Breath-infused Divine Blood, slowly nearing the World Tree.
"Soon now!"
Demogorgon murmured to himself, in reality, there wasn't much strength left in this incarnation of his.
In the first encounter with Correlon, most of the Divine Power in this body had been exhausted.
Had it not been for that, he wouldn't have sent his True Body outside of Gaia World to block the Elf Gods.
Demogorgon could feel that the status of his True Body wasn't too good, after all, facing the combined attack of the Elf Gods at the same time was a bit too exaggerated.
Especially the clash with Correlon, without any spare strength held back, the powerful aftermath even tore apart and destroyed a small world nearby.
There wasn't much time left for Demogorgon, he could already feel many eager gazes falling upon him.
as soon as he truly fell into a disadvantage, those of the same Divine Level might take action.
If he weren't the deep-thinking and powerfully strong Demon Prince Demogorgon but some other Abyss Evil God, Losanda and the others would definitely collaborate with the Elf Gods to attack him without any hesitation.
Watching the Abyss Divine Blood draw nearly close to the World Tree, Demogorgon's face was expressionless, but his body began to melt away.
Like ice under the scorching summer sun, drop by drop of black water infused with an extremely profound Abyss Breath slowly dripped from his body towards the ground below.
Even with the support of the Abyss Will, how could a weakly Divine-powered Evil God possibly corrupt an entity of the World Tree's level?
A higher sacrifice was needed!
Such as him, the most important Divine Incarnation of the Demon Prince Demogorgon!
