What would an Elf God and an Orc God give birth to? A Half-Elf God? A Half-Orc God? Or a Half-Elf Half-Orc God?
None of the answers are correct. It is actually an ancient evil creature called the Elf Devourer.
During a battle between Corellon and Gruumsh, the Elf Devourer, Idiak Oredil, was born from their divine blood.
It devours not only the bodies of elves, but also their souls, so all elven gods hate it.
Many evil forces have used it to achieve various goals, including but not limited to destroying and killing the elves' kingdom.
On average, it appears in the main world once every century, causing massive deaths among the elves.
Legendary monsters also have strong and weak ones. The Elf Devourer is basically one of the strongest ones. It is immune to a series of effects such as acid, cold, instant death, charm and fear.
It had been hunted down and besieged by many elven gods, but it managed to escape each time and mutate and evolve to a certain extent, making it more difficult to kill next time.
At this point, it is difficult for ordinary demigods to cause any effective damage to it, and more powerful gods must be relied upon to take action.
More importantly, its powerful strength and evil nature soon earned it the strong love of the Abyss, causing it to possess certain demonic characteristics.
Unless it is killed in the Abyss, even if the gods take action, it is impossible to destroy it permanently. It can only be sealed or weakened.
But before, few gods had personally summoned the Elf Devourer, because that was almost equivalent to formally declaring war on Corellon and the entire elven pantheon.
But Rose certainly wouldn't care about that.
After receiving this information, neither Levi nor Shadow King and the others were in the mood to have any party. They could only agree to meet again when they had the chance, and then returned to their own territories in a hurry, even Tigris and the female demigoddess were no exception.
If the three legendary monsters just released were appetizers and the Elf Devourer was the main course, no one could guarantee whether Rose had other tricks up her sleeve to serve as dessert after the meal.
Levi immediately put all his territories on the highest level of preparation for war to guard against Rose's other conspiracies.
Especially the city of Ostak, which is located in the Underdark and closest to other drow cities, is of paramount importance.
For this purpose, Levi specially sent a lot of reinforcements there through the teleportation array.
Then, not long after, Levi received news that the expeditionary force that the high elves had previously sent to the Underdark had been ambushed and was now almost wiped out.
The city of Ostak took in a few survivors, and learned from them that in addition to a large number of drow elves, spider drow, and some servant races enslaved by them, there were also many undead, vampire drow, and beastmen of many types and numbers.
Not only were there many types and numbers of the enemy , but they also cooperated well. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, which led to the High Elves' expeditionary force suffering such a tragic end.
Although there is no further news yet, it is easy to guess that the benevolent drow under Eilistraee, and even the dwarves and shield dwarves who are allied with them, will definitely suffer similar attacks.
Levi did not feel anything strange about the appearance of the drow vampire, because Dracula was originally a monster that Rose had personally transformed after being inspired by the Elf Devourer.
Dracula relied on Rose many times on his way to becoming a god. The fact that he can now settle in the Abyss almost makes clear the relationship between him and Rose.
Levi was just a little curious about the appearance of the Beast Man.
Except for a few such as cave harpies and mole men, most beastmen are accustomed to living on the surface world, and particularly like some forests and magical forests, or at least caves.
Logically speaking, it would be difficult for the drow elves to capture so many beastmen as slaves, especially since there were some larger minotaurs among them who were not very suitable for fighting in the Underdark.
Unless, Rose and the Lord of Beasts - Malar join forces!
Thinking of this, Levi couldn't help but ask his subordinates to be more vigilant. Both of these evil gods had been seriously offended by him, so it would not hurt to be cautious.
Taking advantage of this gap, Levi also checked the spoils obtained after defeating the enemy.
First of all, in terms of the title, Swarm Destroyer, from now on, insect enemies below level 6 will not actively attack Levi. When he actively attacks insects, the damage will increase by 5, which is quite good.
Penthesilea, who killed the hundred-armed giant, was awarded the title of Hand of a Hundred Weapons, which will slightly increase her flying speed when using swords, spears, axes, knives, or other things as throwing weapons, which is icing on the cake.
Next, because he witnessed Imrik's deification from beginning to end and defeated legendary enemies under the watchful eyes of the gods, Levi also gained 10 points of legend.
Then there was a bit of earth-attributed divinity provided by the Hundred-Armed Giant. Levi wanted Lilith to help purify it, but he had not yet decided who to give it to.
We don't have any powerful beings who can use earth-attribute magic on our side at the moment. The witch Diva from the Bitao Village does know some earth-attribute magic, but because the environment is too cozy and comfortable, she is now obsessed with training all kinds of jackals all day long, and her levels are still in the single digits. She is not capable of taking on the main responsibility at all, and it would be a waste to give her that knowledge.
Therefore, it would be a better choice to give it to warrior units to improve their survivability.
But even Zhou Miyin still has a big gap in strength and merit compared to Wange and others, and he is not yet qualified to possess divinity. We can only observe him later.
There is nothing noteworthy about his equipment. The weapons and armor used by the hundred-armed giant are all made from the bones of unknown giant beasts, but because their size is very different from those used by humans, they can only be remade.
However, some materials such as Blood of Hatred and Crystal of Resentment may be of some use to Levi as a mage. After all, they are high-level materials dropped by legendary monsters.
Levi didn't do anything after that, but just waited quietly for news from Lilith.
As for why Rose threw the Elf Devourer to Antarctica instead of Ulthuan, he could roughly guess it.
Ulthuan is a place protected by the gods, and even for Rose it is not easy to succeed.
In Antarctica, the high elves have several fortresses and an army of thousands of people. The purpose of their existence is to regularly clear out the beastmen there and guard multiple abyss rifts to prevent demons from invading the main world.
Rose chose that place as her target, on the one hand to slaughter some elves, and on the other hand to create opportunities for other demons.
Even speculating in the worst possible scenario, Rose might have already had some contact with many demon lords and even the Four Gods of Chaos.
Power and hatred are the things that are most likely to drive people or gods to extremes, not to mention that Rose is not a normal god.
After waiting for a while, Lilith contacted Levi as expected.
"The Elf Devourer has been banished by the gods. Theoretically, it will not be able to do evil within 10 years, but we still need to be careful."
Levi also shared the information he had just obtained with Lilith. Although he knew that Lilith probably already knew it, this also represented his attitude.
As expected, Lilith did know.
"The Elf Devourer has Malar's mark on his body, so we can be sure that Rose has officially joined forces with Malar."
"The elf defenders in Antarctica all died heroically. Although the abyssal rift there was sealed by the gods, I sensed the presence of multiple demon lords. Rose is likely to be forming a huge evil alliance."
While speaking, Lilith felt a little irritated. Although she had obtained the memories of the parallel world, in her memories, there were not so many powerful gods and monsters.
Each of their actions may have a certain impact. Under the chain reaction, those memories cannot be said to be completely useless, but their limitations have become increasingly greater.
For her, the more useful ones might be the ones about the revival of the Four Chaos Gods, some major events in the main world, and the personalities of special people.
For example, Manfred is a rebellious person by nature. He can sell out anyone for profit. Even if you can make a deal with him temporarily, you can never trust him completely.
For example, Nagash has always wanted to become the god of death, and he has really achieved something. If Levi can find the secret hidden by Nagash, and with his own help, it is absolutely possible for him to become the god of death;
The Beastmen's attack on Athel Loren was not simple. In addition to their hatred for the Wood Elves, they also wanted to take the opportunity to corrupt the magical forest, the many tree people in it, and the Wood Elves' queen - Ariel.
Fortunately, I have made some arrangements in advance, and Teclis has been busy with this matter recently, so the beastmen's conspiracy is destined not to come true.
But despite this, with the constant interference of powerful beings such as gods and demon lords, she felt that a lot of intelligence had completely lost its value.
What she needs most now is power. If the power is strong enough, all the conspiracies and tricks will be useless!
That's why she tried so hard to cultivate some allies who were truly reliable and trustworthy, to fight against more evil together.
Now Imrick has made a very good start, and she hopes that Levi can grow faster.
However, she always felt that Rose's plan should not be so simple.
What good would killing some elves do for Rose, other than venting her anger?
Instead, it made Corellon and other gods realize that Rose had officially joined forces with Dracula, Malar and others.
Therefore, the appearance of the Elf Devourer is likely to cover up other purposes!
"So, Goddess, do you need me to do anything?"
"While ensuring your own safety, do your best to advance towards the Conferred Godhood!"
Isn’t Lilith’s expectation also Levi’s wish?
So in the following period of time, after confirming that Rose seemed to have no interest in the Fear Rock, Levi was no longer in a hurry to rush to a new battlefield. Instead, he frequently used teleportation spells to purify the plague in places such as the Brass Fortress and Lustria to spread his reputation.
When he occasionally encountered demons or beastmen, he would usually give the opportunity to Elegy, Donna and Cindy.
Unless it is an enemy like the Bloodthirster of Khorne, it would be meaningless for him to kill ordinary soldiers. However, if Elegy and the others can be promoted to Legendary as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance his own combat power.
During this period, the Jade Phoenix Mages also provided information to Sefa twice , and signaled that she could go to watch the battle and also take a look at the fighting methods of other Jade Phoenix Mages, which might help Sefa better master the power of her previous life.
After a brief discussion with Levi, Sefa decisively took Levi and others to the appointment.
Then Levi discovered that these Jade Phoenix Wizards were indeed of the type that would do nothing unless they took action, but once they did, it would be a big deal.
The first time they were fighting a Balrog that had broken its seal, and the second time they were simply trying to surround an unknown demon lord who was trying to invade the main world.
Levi and others, who were excited to see the prey, certainly could not just be spectators. They joined the battle and fought side by side with the Jade Phoenix Wizards.
While accumulating some experience in fighting the enemy, they also came to understand that such things were actually very rare for the Jade Phoenix Wizards, and they might not have encountered them once in the past few decades.
But ever since the Elf Devourer made a brief appearance in Antarctica, it was as if some kind of channel had been opened up, and all kinds of powerful alien evils began to invade the main world more easily.
Even the Jade Phoenix Mages, whose mission is to protect the world, feel a little overwhelmed.
Although there is no more definite evidence yet, everyone knows that this must be part of Rose's sinister plan.
Perhaps, she realized that her power and that of the drow were no longer enough to take revenge on the entire elven pantheon, so she tried to drag the demon lords into the battle collectively, even if the price might be the complete collapse of the entire main world?
But even with such speculation, they have no way to influence the gods. The only thing they can do is to try to detect all threats in advance and drive them all back to their nests.
Then Levi discussed with Khalida, Michaela and others that they wanted to learn from Imrik and build a magnificent temple on the Rock of Fear to prepare for the future deification.
In this regard, Khalida expressed strong support and generously stated that she was willing to give everything to help Levi accomplish this task.
Li Weike has saved her more than once and has also helped her a lot in other aspects. At this critical moment, she naturally has to go all out. Anyway, the wealth in the vault does not mean much to her.
With her help, Fear Rock was the first to start construction, and Thorn Town and other places also began to make preparations. But what many people don’t know is that similar things are happening in the Twin Moon World.
The eladrin there were originally believers of Corellon, but later Corellon abandoned them. However, they did not feel resentful about this. Instead, they wanted a real god to accept and protect them.
So Levi only revealed a few insignificant details, and those high-level elegant spirits were ecstatic. They burst out with double enthusiasm and worked hard to complete these tasks.
At the same time, Corellon finally made up his mind to fight back against Rose's many evil deeds.
In addition to sending new expeditions to continue attacks on the evil drow in the Underdark, Corellon also gave instructions personally.
He called on many legends and high-ranking priests of the church to launch a raid on Ajehut, the most important town in the main world, against the weak divine power of Selvetarm, the patron saint of drow warriors and the champion known as Rose.
Levi was not very clear about the specific process of the battle, but the result was very clear. The large town with a population of over 100,000, the holy place of the Church of Seventam in the main world, had now been completely reduced to ruins.
For a weak divine power, such a blow would undoubtedly be extremely fatal, and might even shake other believers' faith in Xiwentam.
However, Corellon's actions failed to completely restore the elven gods' declining impression of him.
Everyone knows that Xiwentam is the sharp sword in Rose's hand. If you don't cause trouble for Rose and only attack Xiwentam, how much effect can it have? And you still say that you don't care about the old relationship?
The elven God of thieves, who was killed by Rose not long ago, would probably die with regrets after learning all this, right?
But Corellon's fighting power is irreplaceable to the elven pantheon. No matter how many thoughts they have in their minds, they can only choose to endure.
After a few more days, many beings gradually began to confirm that the space barrier of the main world seemed to have become weaker, which made it easier for demons and other evil spirits from other worlds to invade.
At the same time, many evil beings that were originally sealed in the main world began to revive frequently, which made all races fall deeper into the quagmire of war. Even the high elves could not stay out of it completely, and wars broke out in almost all of their overseas fortresses.
On the contrary, various demonic cults have gradually become active. In countries such as the Southern Kingdom, they even dare to appear openly under the sun and compete with many gods for believers.
Considering Rose's abnormal behavior before, the gods basically understood that this must be related to her.
In a sense, Rose has become a huge threat. Her organized conspiracy may harm the interests of all gods.
If she were allowed to continue, God knew how many crazy things she would do for revenge.
But the gods did not have the energy to deal with Rose for the time being, because Cyric became more and more crazy. Influenced by him, his believers also started to party. They seemed to really believe that Cyric was the only true God in the world.
The most brilliant lie is to deceive even yourself. Now that Xirik holds the priesthood of lies, he is indeed capable of doing this.
Therefore, regardless of lawful or neutral, good or evil, at least dozens of churches, large and small, began to attack Xirik's church in their own way.
Most of them are human gods, but there are also other gods, which makes the main world more and more chaotic.
However, this chaos also represents opportunities for some beings.
For example, Levi received an official notice from the Beetle Prince today, saying that they can officially go to the Black Pyramid of Nagash.
In exchange, Levi needs to return the Crypt Assassin - Arak to him.
Levi agreed. Anyway, that thing would be of little use outside the desert, and he had originally planned to use it for trading.
After communicating with Lilith and Illidan just in case, he called Elegy and others and teleported them directly to the meeting place, which was the ruins of a village about 15 miles away from the Black Pyramid.
Under the rule of the Tomb Kings, the number of living people is far less than the dead. Most mummies and skeleton soldiers only need a coffin, so there are very few small villages under the rule of the Tomb Kings, and most of the living people are concentrated near towns.
Gradually, the abandoned village turned into the ruins before our eyes.
"Did you bring the stuff?"
Seeing Levi nod, Prince Beetle said no more nonsense, but said a little anxiously: "Okay, now the Immortal Emperor is still attacking the city, and the gods are not here for the time being. We can take this opportunity to go to the Black Pyramid!"
Levi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. While casting the spell, he asked casually, "Why, are all the gods taking a collective rest today?"
The Black Pyramid has always stood there, but they have never been there before. On the one hand, it is because it is very close to the territory of the Immortal Emperor, and if the Beetle Prince goes there rashly, there is a great chance that he will be beaten.
On the other hand, the Beetle Prince said that the Egyptian gods are always paying attention to this place.
Levi had tried to get close several times before, but not to mention the numerous visible and hidden sentries, he had felt at least a dozen different fluctuations of divine power, so he did not dare to act rashly.
But now the Beetle Prince suddenly said that things have changed. Does that mean that civil strife within the Egyptian pantheon could break out at any time?
Prince Beetle snorted, "Even you elves should have heard about the conflict between the two brothers a long time ago. They have started to quarrel frequently recently. The matter of the Immortal Emperor was just an initiation."
As he spoke, the Beetle Prince showed no respect at all for the two gods.
Although he was able to return to the main world because of Osiris' special care, he now looked worse than an ordinary mummy. Besides, Osiris did not send him back for free!
"Is that so?"
"Well, so this time a new Son of God is about to be born, and the King of God wants to take the opportunity to ease the conflict. He held a banquet in the kingdom of the gods. After the Son of God is officially born in the next few days, probably all the kings of the ancient tombs will celebrate for it."
"A new child of God? Whose?"
If it is a god and a mortal, it may be slightly better, but if it is the combination of gods, it often consumes a lot of energy.
At this critical moment when the four chaos gods are reviving and the entire main world is in turmoil, does the Egyptian pantheon still have the mind to have children for fun?
It would be even more interesting if a monster were to be born.
"It's the Jackal Lord and his sister."
Unless there is protection from other gods, if mortals call out the gods' names directly, they may be known immediately by the other party, so the Beetle Prince also appeared to be very cautious this time.
It would be fine if he didn't want to help, but since he agreed to help, he would do his best.
But Levi certainly knew who the Beetle Prince was talking about, the brother and sister Set and Nephthys.
There is no need to say much about the former, an ambitious, powerful and wise evil god who has successfully stolen the faith of many snake people.
As far as Levi knows, there are already tens of thousands of snake people migrating through the Underdark.
The latter is a weaker divine power that possesses four priesthoods: protector of the rich, protector of trade, protector of the dead, and protector of children. As Set's wife, she is also known as the Lady of the Desert.
Because of her divine duty as the protector of the dead, she would occasionally assist her other brother, Osiris.
It is worth mentioning that in the mythology that Levi knew, whether the child born by Nephthys was Set's has always been an unsolved mystery.
Probably in order to maintain the purity of blood and the cohesion of the pantheon, the Egyptian pantheon advocated internal marriage. If Nephthys could choose Set, she could naturally choose Osiris as well.
But all doubts will be immediately revealed after the Son of God is truly born.
Levi thought to himself that perhaps, after finishing today's affairs, he should accept the invitation of the Airi people and go to the Star King's Court.
And take a trip to Paradise and Mount Heaven to make full preparations for a future plan.
If Seth was really cuckolded by his own brother, could he, who already had evil intentions, continue to endure it?
After performing a series of magic including flight and invisibility, Levi and the Beetle Prince headed straight for the black pyramid.
Even though he had advanced some distance, Levi still didn't quite understand the Beetle Prince's current condition.
When attacked, each of his beetles calculates defense and health points separately, and they are all separate individuals.
But when he was casting magic on the other party just now, it was all successful in one go. At this time, the Beetle Prince was regarded as a whole.
But he was also sure that these beetles were living creatures with vitality, which made things very complicated.
In the end, Levi could only say that Osiris definitely spent a lot of time and effort on the Beetle Prince.
At the same time, Levi also experienced the joy of having an undercover agent as a teammate. When Levi came here alone before, he had to check almost every step carefully, for fear of arousing the other party's vigilance.
The Beetle Prince seemed to have memorized the patrol map long ago. He always took Levi to choose the safest route. The Beetle Prince did not stop until they were less than a mile away from the Kurosawa Pyramid.
Just when Levi was wondering if the other party was setting a trap for him, the Beetle Prince slowed down a little and finally stopped in the middle area of ​​the vast pyramid that was as black as ink and over 500 meters high.
Then he took out a special token with a white Egyptian crown on top and a crossed flail and hook below, which was the emblem of Osiris.
Turning his head to look at Levi, the Beetle Prince inserted the token into the air in front of him like a key, and rotated it three circles to the left and three circles to the right.
After repeating this several times, silently, the two black boulders in front opened like doors, revealing a straight passage.
The Beetle Prince stepped in first. To be on the safe side, Levi sought help from the Ascetic and asked her to merge with him before chasing after the Beetle Prince. At the same time, he also asked Elegy and others to be prepared for battle at all times.
Because the doubts in his heart were growing.
There is no doubt that this token was the work of Osiris. No matter what the relationship between him and the Beetle Prince is, once this matter is exposed, the Beetle Prince will probably not have a second chance to use it.
The Beetle Prince seemed to be a little too enthusiastic this time. How could a mere Crypt Assassin be worth his investment? He must have other intentions!
After passing through a winding passage of at least a thousand meters, the view in front of me suddenly became clear.
Although there are traces of fighting everywhere in the space of about four to five hundred square meters, from a few details one can still see how luxurious this place once was.
A beam of sunlight shone directly onto a skeleton kneeling on one knee. There was an extremely weak magic circle underneath. Apart from protecting the skeleton from being destroyed by sunlight or mosquitoes, it probably could not do anything else.
In the direction the skull is facing, there are murals of several Egyptian gods, led by Osiris.
Apart from this, there is nothing else here.
After staring at the skeleton carefully for several seconds, the Beetle Prince said with great disdain: "Levi, I have brought you in as agreed. Give me the Crypt Assassin and we are even."
Levi didn't bother to talk and just handed the things to the other party. Although the Beetle Prince was notorious and many of the things he did were very cruel, so far it was still very comfortable to cooperate with this guy.
Then he asked uncertainly: "Is this skeleton Nagash?"
"To be more precise, it is a body that Nagash once used. You should know that for a being like him, it is not difficult to change the body."
"But I am still a little disappointed. This guy who caused heavy losses to the Egyptian gods seems to be no different from other mortals after turning into a skeleton."
Although they also wanted to find Nagash, the Beetle Prince’s starting point was completely different from that of the Egyptian gods. It was just that he was really disappointed this time.
The Elegy next to him couldn't help but grin. Osiris was really stingy. He couldn't find where Nagash's soul was hiding, so he used a skeleton to take the punishment here for him?
Levi hesitated for a moment and said, "You seem to be dissatisfied with the current situation?"
As he said this, Levi looked at the murals on the wall again and threw several small magic spells at them.
The feedback from the magic told him that it was indeed just an ordinary mural, but he felt as if there was someone inside who was peeping at him. This was not a good sign.
Similarly, Elegy, Cindy, and Penthesilea all kept their weapons in their hands, ready to deal with any emergency at any time. They also felt that the murals seemed too realistic.
The Beetle Prince didn't care about this. He just snorted angrily: "If you were transformed from a living person into what I am now, would you be satisfied?"
Delicious food, gorgeous clothes, singing and dancing, and of course beautiful women.
Those things he loved when he was alive, he couldn't even see them with his eyes now, because only a bald skull was left of his real body. How could he accept this?
Levi nodded and said no more. If this was the case, then perhaps there would be opportunities for cooperation between the two parties in the future...
Then he took out a space ring and said, "Your token should be able to take us out, right? Why don't you wait for me here for a few minutes?"
Levi wanted safety more than keeping secrets. If the Beetle Prince was not here, once he was noticed by the Egyptian gods, he might really be caught and beaten.
Because as soon as he came in, he realized that there was an extremely powerful barrier inside the black pyramid, which directly cut off his possibility of leaving through teleportation magic.
As for the possibility of exposing the secret of the Nine Volumes of Nagash, there is nothing that can be done about it, not to mention that Arkhan has recently begun to spread the news all over the world.
Of course, Arkhan
The Beetle Prince took a look at the contents, and his tone became a little calmer: "Although I am very dissatisfied that you beat Arkhan away, you can indeed replace him perfectly."
Of course he would be very satisfied. In addition to the construct, there were also two bone dragons, which were the flying type of soldiers he lacked the most.
After defeating the Dragon God of Corruption, Levi obtained a lot of materials, which was a good opportunity to recycle them.
"Levi, I will wait for you for another 60 breaths. This is the only time my token has left."
If we subtract the time needed to cross the channel, it means that it is only a few minutes in total?
Thinking of this, Levi directly began to follow the system's instructions and use the power of the Nine Volumes of Nagash to summon the hidden secrets of Nagash.
I wonder how big of a surprise, or shock, Nagash will bring him?
