Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 119 Value
It was not difficult for the well-trained High Elves to suppress the unorganized riot outside the Bone Palace. The High Elves warriors walking on the "road" inherited the experience of their fathers from generation to generation. No matter what race's standard, they were the most top-notch mortal troops in the world.
In contrast, the forest elves, who evolved from the high elves, have experienced thousands of years of decadence. In the absence of organization and leadership, their performance can only be described as a mob.
However, Remedios's previous order made the suppression work of these elite warriors several levels more difficult.
She did not allow her high elf warriors to use lethal force - except for dealing with tree spirits and beast spirits attacking from outside the field, this usually tough shadow queen would not even allow her troops to take the life of any forest elf.
But why? Even as a potential ally, a blood relative of the same clan in the past, special treatment should be given in this emergency situation, right? What was the reason that the aloof dictator who had participated in the war with the expeditionary fleet of the Riel Empire and whose deeds were written into a legendary story and passed down agreed to such a degree of compromise?
Such questions only lingered in the minds of these soldiers for a few seconds. They were pure soldiers, and as long as they accepted the order, they would not have too many questions - this was also the inheritance that their fathers had strengthened in the depths of their souls.
Some people also call it shackles or a curse.
Regardless, with the chanting of spells, the earth magic trapped the calves of the rioters, while the illusion magic sealed their angry will. Even if a few people broke free, they were knocked to the ground by the shield guards around the magician. In the end, it was the Bone Palace guards who stayed behind who killed more of their own kind than them.
The time gained from this allowed the remaining magicians in Ava to restart the barrier that was previously destroyed by the "Beast Master". As the barrier of the Bone Palace was repaired, they once again separated the even larger number of rioting people outside .
"Repairing the barrier isn't about protecting ourselves, it's about protecting them."
The high elf officer in charge pointed at the people outside and explained to the captain of the Bone Palace Guard.
If the tall "beast master" god hadn't appeared on the other side, then they could have been completely safe. But at this moment, every time the god with the antler crown on her head took a step forward, the sky behind her would be dyed blood red by the blood moon that symbolized hunting and wildness, and the incomparable terrifying pressure crushed everyone on this side.
Seeing the tall hunting god who had only been heard of in myths and legends slowly and firmly approaching them, or rather, the Bone Palace they were guarding, the captain of the guard in charge of the palace defense swallowed his saliva, forced himself to stop the trembling of his knees and asked:
"Can all of you...all those wizards combined stop her?"
The high elf officer immediately shook his head upon hearing this:
"That is the projection of a real god. We cannot do that even if it means sacrificing all our lives."
The captain's face instantly turned livid, but before he could curse, the high elf continued calmly:
"But you only need to have the courage to face her and not kneel down, because... our Lord of the Continent will be able to stop her."
As he finished speaking, three arrows with a fierce storm flew from another direction at a speed faster than his voice towards the white giant wrapped in animal skin and wearing a deer antler crown. The latter turned his head and for the first time let his eyes leave the nearby Bone Palace and look towards the direction where the arrows came from.
Then, accompanied by a beast howl that was enough to shake the earth, she slammed the flint spear in her hand into the ground, and countless violent beast ghosts emerged from the air as if flames were ignited.
The storm brought by the arrows was blown away by the beast's howl, and the three arrows were torn apart by countless wild beasts and disappeared into thin air in an instant.
A blond tall elf in light leather armor appeared in a flash of lightning. At this moment, she was tightly holding a transparent longbow in her hand, staring into the eyes of the "Beast Master" that were filled with wildness and savagery.
"Caught up..."
Remedios whispered. On the belt around her waist was a simple soul box.
"As a result, this time it's up to you to make the choice, Neh..."
Her voice sounded like she was complaining, but also like she was offering a memorial.
…………
After saying this, William remained silent, just quietly waiting for the other party's reply - just like after wiping out the Undead Wizard Society that was wreaking havoc in Ravenwood, Neh was quietly waiting for William to tell him the final result.
Since the opponent at this moment is already a part of the Hungry Lady, then Neh, who also possesses the same vision as the Void King, should be able to cross multiple timelines and know what happened in the present world before.
Therefore, William did not explain anything more. After all, the other party's detached attitude after seeing him had already explained everything.
But at least this time, he didn't intend to help the other party make any decision out of so-called "good intentions".
"Your Excellency the Judge..."
Without even looking at the [Seed of Hope] in William's hand, Neh was silent for a while and slowly spoke:
"To this day, I just want to figure out one thing..."
"Why did I hide your soul box back then?"
William sighed and asked, his voice was very soft when facing this member of the Tribunal, the only one he felt guilty about.
Neh nodded heavily.
Sighing again, William didn't want to lie to him:
"If I tell you that I knew back then that you would die if I returned the soul box to you, would you believe me?"
"But now it seems that if I had died like that, it would have brought a better ending."
To this, Neh replied very calmly.
"So this time I will absolutely respect your opinion. As long as you are willing, I will use the remaining [Seed of Hope] to pull you back from death and fate to the present world. From countless timelines, I will find a possibility for you to survive normally."
In response, William seriously brought the topic back to the topic.
Camilla doesn't have much time left for him.
"That means you have found a possibility for me to exist normally in the countless timelines you have experienced, right?"
Nehe still answered very calmly, as if he was not talking about his own fate at the moment.
William opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
"The real Nehe died the day she was transformed into a lich. Since then, what exists in the world is only the remnant soul left by the Lady of Hunger and Corruption. Those you have met and fought for are only the remnants of the Void King in the world. Therefore, even if you consume this precious [Seed of Hope], what you can be reborn in the end is just another self who cannot be redeemed."
Neh continued.
"But to me, that's the real you."
William answered immediately and firmly.
"For me... my true self died that day. Now I am just another filthy soul of the same origin as the Void King, using Nehe's name and memories to bring disaster to everything he once cherished.
Nehe looked at William seriously , and then continued:
"So, please tell me another option? Since you asked me that before, I believe you must have prepared a more interesting plan."
Hearing the other party's words, William closed his eyes and sighed softly.
After a long time, the Disaster of the Moon Realm opened his eyes again:
"If you are unwilling to be reborn in this world with your original identity, then I must ensure that your death is valuable enough."
The previous hesitation and guilt were no longer in his tone
"For example, completely destroying a Void King."
