God’s Natural Enemy Returns Episode 145

97. Guardian of the World Tree (2)

“… … .”

-Elder. Those things… … .

-Aren’t these all things stolen from the dwarves?

-How dare you… … with the treasures our elves have obtained through their bloodshed.

Despite continued opposition from other elders.

Wisdom Beard could not quite agree with their opinions.

What Wisdombeard truly feared was not losing the treasure he had taken from the dwarves.

Anyway, these treasures are things that the dwarves keep in case they ever do ‘expansion work’ to the World Tree.

In other words, it was a kind of hostage concept.

But the dwarves were currently trapped underground in the northern continent and had no intention of coming out.

So there was no problem at all in handing over these items.

‘Of course my pride is greatly hurt, but… … .’

But the world tree was much more important than pride or the lives of one’s fellow countrymen.

“Khuuuhuk… … .”

“Now, Elder… … .”

High elves, wrapped in black tentacles, struggled.

Wisdombeard, seeing this, intuitively felt that it was time to make a decision.

-Elder!

-I will make a decision… I will attack right now!

-Everyone stop.

-… … .

-… … .

-Of course, it is true that we earned these treasures through our hard work and sweat. But what if we don’t give them to you now?

gulp.

-There will be bloodshed in the future. Including the World Tree.

Looking at the beads of sweat running down Wisdombeard’s forehead.

The other elders were surprised.

‘Elder 1 is sweating cold…?’

‘Has something like this happened?’

“Just ask one thing.”

Wisdombeard looked at the vision and opened his mouth.

“What happened to the other elders?”

“dead.”

“… … !”

“Oh, you’re dead?”

“A human being would kill an elder?”

“Uh, how… … .”

A look of shock crossed the expressions of the other elders and high elves.

However, what dominated their heads and hearts was not the thought that ‘I must take revenge for killing another elder.’

‘So, does that mean the Fallen King is powerful enough to kill the Elder?’

‘And the mind control we so desperately supported didn’t work?’

‘Then… … The World Tree could really take a big hit… … .’

Wisdombeard completely put his magic power to rest after seeing the expressions of the other elves.

Now that we have a justification for ‘fear’.

I was able to accommodate the other person’s demands.

treasure?

I could have given you something like that.

If only the World Tree could be safe.

“But there is a condition.”

“what?”

“From now on… … no, do not invade Lienatri for at least 20 years.”

“3 years.”

“18 years.”

“5 years.”

“… … 10 years.”

“Okay. Let’s make it 10 years.”

In fact, Sihyeon had no intention of attacking Lienatri anymore.

It was never a losing trade.

“one more.”

“what?”

“Eloah and Dakkon. Don’t hold them accountable for anything. On that condition, I won’t invade for ten years.”

“… … .”

At those words, the elders’ faces swelled up as if they were going to burst.

Those two are traitors who wouldn’t be satisfied even if they were torn to pieces.

But Wisdombeard didn’t want to cause any damage to the World Tree right away.

I had no choice but to accept the offer.

“……good night.”

“good.”

[Item, ‘Night’s Curtain (C)’ is removed.]

With such dramatic negotiations.

The curtain of night has disappeared.

“See you later.”

“……go away.”

The two elders brought the three items requested by Shihyeon at Wisdombeard’s command.

I couldn’t say anything nice to him as I handed him the item.

Sihyeon didn’t care about this either.

Anyway, the purpose of coming here has already been achieved.

‘If I just have this, I can clear the fifth catastrophe a little easier.’

Of course, even without it, it’s not impossible to break it if you utilize the knowledge before regression.

Still, the difference between having these items and not having them was huge.

[Key to the Heart (??)]

[Hammer of Innocent Blood (S)]

[Creator’s Brick Piece (EX)]

A hot key that beats like a heart, a dark red hammer that seems to sizzle, and a seemingly ordinary piece of silver brick.

After putting one item without a grade and an EX and S grade item into Kibisis.

Sihyeon raised the corners of her lips as if she was satisfied.

“See you later then.”

“I hope I never see you again.”

“Why do you feel so sad?”

With a relaxed expression.

Sihyeon moved to the sinkholes that appeared all over the world tree.

Because there is currently a dark elf named Dakkon.

There was no problem using the sinkhole.

Tzuzuzu… that is…

Looking at the two traitorous high elves and the vision disappearing like that.

The five or six elders shouted at Wisdombeard in protest.

“Elder!”

“This is ridiculous!”

“What do you mean by nonsense?”

Without noticing Wisdombeard’s cold gaze.

Elders 5 and 6 took turns shouting.

“You’re just letting the dangerous molecules that threatened the World Tree go?”

“You didn’t just send them away! You even sent them with three treasures!”

“I thought you were wise because you lived so long… … but it seems you have become senile!”

“You just believed the author’s promise and let the traitor go! There’s no reason for you not to come here for ten years!”

“… … .”

Only the two elders were keeping an eye on Wisdombeard.

He is the only elder who has survived since the ‘Loki’s Theft’ incident.

I knew one thing for sure.

1st Elder, Wisdombeard.

There was a reason he held the highest position, ‘First Elder’, for so long.

“Fools.”

The elder clicked his tongue.

“When you get old, your head is full of shit.”

“What, what is it?”

“Even if you are the first elder, that kind of… … .”

Crunch.

Before the 5th and 6th elders had even finished speaking.

Both of their necks fell off.

‘That’s… … ?’

The surrounding high elves were surprised to see this sight.

‘Is it using the cutting power of the wind?’

‘I don’t feel any movement, so I guess there’s some dark elf stealth ability… … .’

‘Is it true that you, Elder, can control all the power of the four high elves?’

Wisdombeard clicked his tongue after dealing with the two elders in an instant.

“Our elves were too careless. When we quietly gave them the position of elder, they just became complacent and became rotten water. An elder who couldn’t even react to an attack and died… … . This proves their laziness and indolence. Don’t you think so, Darksnow?”

“I agree. It’s about time for the elders to change.”

“Yes. We should increase the number of elders to fourteen, and let the talented high elves compete against each other. So that they won’t be eliminated.”

“… … .”

“Who would have imagined that humans would treat us this badly?”

“That’s right.”

Looking at the high elves clearing away the corpses.

Elf 2nd Elder, Darksnow, responded.

“The Fallen King… … The Fallen King. The name itself is extremely ominous.”

Swish.

‘He’s a name that sounds like he’d corrupt the World Tree at any moment.’

Looking at the sinkhole where Sihyeon disappeared.

Wisdombeard bit his lip.

The fallen king, ‘Lee Si-Hyeon’.

He revealed his power and prepared to destroy and harm the World Tree ‘at any time’.

If it was just a minor attack, I would have just ignored it and killed the opponent.

The power that the Fallen King currently possessed was far greater than Wisdombeard could have expected, no, imagined.

A force so powerful that it is hard to believe it is for a novice human who has now faced his 20th disaster.

‘… … It seems like he’s using the power of the other world’s gods. But how is it possible to appropriately distribute and combine the power of so many gods?’

Wisdombeard clenched his fists.

‘Can my body handle it? No… Even I, who have lived for many years, cannot dig deep into a single divine item and use it perfectly.’

Kwak.

‘How is that guy…?’

luck?

It wasn’t like that.

Because using a divine item is an act that cannot be achieved through luck.

Most players who use god items are beings who have made a ‘contract’ with that god.

Because being chosen by God itself meant that one’s infinite talents and potential were recognized.

It couldn’t be attributed to ‘luck’.

But up to here it can be done.

If God allows his contractors to use items with reduced penalties.

Even if your understanding of the item is somewhat low, you will still be able to exert great power.

But Sihyeon’s case was different.

He didn’t seem to have made a contract with just one god, as he was using items from ‘different’ gods at the same time.

If that’s the case, then it means that you’re handling those items without any help from any god.

Because I knew how difficult and arduous the work was.

Wisdombeard could not help but acknowledge his opponent.

‘I don’t know, but it’s the will of the god contained within. Taming and breaking items is not something that ordinary humans can do. Even if it looks easy on the outside. Humans always show me a side that exceeds my expectations.’

So Wisdombeard made up his mind.

In a place where three elders have already died.

After completely killing the 5th and 6th elders who went against his will.

Let’s start over from the beginning.

“We need strength to protect the World Tree. It’s no longer safe here. In the worst case scenario, the Asgardians will also target Liena Tree, just like they took Yggdrasil.”

“then…….”

“okay.”

Flash.

“We’re going into war mode now. If the Predator or Iron Maze stay still, we won’t know. If they invade first, we’ll be able to respond adequately.”

Pfft!

The first thing that Si-hyeon saw when he returned to Sonae Island through the sinkhole was.

It was Seo Ji-hye who was diligently organizing the battlefield.

Because she was the one who handled battlefield management and various administrative tasks like an AI since she was in the past.

The battlefield was being cleared quickly.

“sister.”

“Huh? Sihyeon is here?”

As if he had no worries at all.

Seo Ji-hye welcomed Si-hyeon.

trust.

Her eyes were full of trust.

The belief that Sihyeon will protect all the people here and bring back their peaceful daily lives.

‘I have a lot on my shoulders.’

It could have been a burdensome situation.

Sihyeon rather accepted this situation calmly.

Since he was the only one who had regressed, he took responsibility for everything and decided to save humanity.

‘Yeah. If not me, who can do it?’

“sister!”

“Youngwoo? Next to him… … .”

“What. This guy doesn’t have to worry about anything.”

In Sihyeon’s eyes.

Dacon seeped into the darkness.

She is currently fighting with amusement park players including Jang Do-hyun and Jang Hee-soo.

It wasn’t a good thing that her presence was revealed.

-Stay hidden until I call you.

-Yes, master.

Fortunately, Dakkon is one of the few Dark High Elves who possesses stealth skills.

Thanks to the corruption caused by the power of the vision, the affinity with ‘darkness’ has increased.

The already excellent stealth skills have become even more effective.

If she had made up her mind to hide, not even Sihyeon would have been able to find her.

At this point, everything has been said.

“Brother!”

Over there.

I saw Jang Hee-soo running towards me.

“Nothing happened?”

“Yes! Thanks to you, Brother! But Yuri… … .”

“Ms. Cheon Yuri? Why?”

“… … .”

Looking at Cheon Yuri lying there with burns all over her body.

Sihyeon frowned.

‘shit…….’

Actually, I kind of expected it.

Because I still felt it was too early to entrust the role of elf elder to Cheon Yuri.

‘Even if I didn’t know the Elf Elder would come… … Should I have stayed by your side?’

I thought that for a moment.

Soon, Sihyeon shook her head.

‘No. You won’t be able to do anything if you just keep protecting her like that. I’m sure Cheon Yuri has grown through this. No… … But she was my colleague, so are you neglecting her too much?’

Not as much as Sihyeon though.

In fact, Cheon Yuri had become incomparably stronger than before her return.

Even if you just compare the simple rankings, it has risen vertically.

Because chronic diseases were disappearing and new strength was awakening.

This time it was the same.

Cheon Yuri herself may not know.

She was absorbing the flaring energy and growing stronger.

‘… … My heart doesn’t feel good when I see you lying there injured.’

After briefly straightening her silver hair.

Sihyeon continued to guard the bedside and supply potions.

But he was already almost fully recovered.

It was only by doing this that I felt at ease.

‘… … That’s why we need a professional healer, you know.’

Since the healer’s nature was to utilize divine power, it did not go well with vision.

Even if you corrupt them and make them your subordinates, all of their divine power will be transformed into magic.

‘There’s nothing we can do right now. We have no choice but to heal him with a potion like this.’

Fortunately, before returning, there were many things to do such as first aid and simple treatments.

Because Cheon Yuri only suffered burns and exhaustion.

Just seeing Sihyeon was enough to help with recovery.

‘Fortunately, there won’t be any burn marks.’

In fact, even if there is a remainder, there are countless ways to recover it.

It would have been best if there were no leftovers in the first place.

“I’m sorry, Cheon Yuri.”

After several hours had passed.

[You have cleared the main quest, .]

The message that ended the long catastrophe rang out.
