Chapter 190 Hathaway, You Shouldn't Be Here (Three in One)

Above the distant night sky.

Red-gold streams of light shone.

From far to near, they were rapidly approaching the location of the fragments of the World Tree.

"Although they were just defective products whose blood had long been polluted and lost their container functions."

"From the beginning, I used them as pure chess pieces."

"But there were seven legends, and the blessing of the Heavenly Chain I left behind..."

"Under the same status, they were not even defeated by that pure-blooded golden elf?"

The eyes of the incarnation of the Sun God showed a little surprise for the first time since He and Xia officially came into contact.

That catastrophe caused Him to lose more than 90% of His divinity and authority.

And even the remaining remnants were on the verge of losing control at any time due to the problem of physical incompatibility.

In order to suppress the tendency of disorder and to delay the collapse and decay of the Elf King's body, He used the power of half of the World Tree branch to seal himself in the small world transformed by the fragments of the World Tree.

He is in a long sleep and self-sealing, and it is far from the time for him to wake up.

It is just because of Char, the alien who suddenly came to the Lost Island.

In addition, the great abnormality shown by Char made the sleeping Sun God interested in him.

From the seal of the World Tree Fragment Plane to suppress madness, a trace of will was revealed, interfering with the Lost Island outside the World Tree Fragment.

It is precisely because of this self-sealing that only a little bit of the subtle state of will can be leaked.

Its perception and control of the outside world are limited to the surroundings of the World Tree Fragment, and it cannot even cover the entire Lost Island completely.

Whether it is strength or influence on the outside world, compared with the great existence of the glorious era, sitting on the throne of heaven, and shining the blazing majesty on the entire main material plane, it may not even reach one percent, or even one thousandth.

If it weren't for such an awkward situation, with his status, why would he need to rely on those so-called elders of the Council and the legends of the elves to act for him.

However, even so -

With the vision of the Sun God, there are not many things that can exceed his expectations.

There are seven legendary elders of the Council, as well as the remaining holy relics of the Royal Court, plus the advantage of being the first mover.

In his view, it is absolutely certain to capture the pure-blooded golden elf, who is also the second candidate for the container, and there will be no surprises.

However, in just half a year, which is insignificant compared to a thousand years, the Sun God felt this unexpected and unfamiliar emotion for the second time.

The first time was when he first noticed that Char, a human who somehow crossed the cover of the eternal night curtain and descended to the Lost Island.

No...

To be more precise.

In fact, the essence of the two consecutive accidents was caused by Char.

The pure-blooded golden elf used not the divinity and authority from the blood of the elves bestowed by the sun god.

Rather, it was the mysterious power called "magic" that seemed to come from the astral world.

"Very interesting technique."

"Although it is still immature, if it is used with the power of the true god, it can even be comparable to the authority of the scorching sun that I had in the glorious era."

"I am really becoming more and more interested in you and the magic and arcane hidden behind you."

He looked at Xia deeply, and then the pupils of the elf legend lost focus.

After a breath, Xia keenly noticed that the lofty will had left the body of the elf legend in front of him.

But with the departure of the sun god's will, the original owner of this body did not wake up again as Xia expected.

In an instant, Xia saw the emerald green hair of the elf in front of him turning white rapidly.

Even the skin that was originally smooth and worthy of the name of the elves also quickly developed wrinkles in a very short time.

It was as if hundreds of years had been imposed on this elf's body.

In the blink of an eye, he went from the youthful period to the prime of life, middle age, and old age.

The flesh became shriveled and the skin became loose.

Then, in an instant, all the flesh quickly weathered and decayed, turning into scattered dust.

Only a pile of white bones remained, which lost the support of muscles and scattered all over the ground with a crackling sound.

Only the white robe of the elder of the Council was still intact, forming a sharp contrast with the posture of its owner.

Is this... the consequence of being a container and being descended by the will of the sun god in the fragment of the world tree?

Xia's eyes were fixed on the pile of scattered bones.

He naturally had no emotional fluctuations about the death of the elder of the Council who was responsible for escorting him to the world tree. After all, the relationship between the two was just pure enemies.

However, even in the first era when mythical creatures were rampant, it was definitely not a state of "demigods everywhere, legends are worse than dogs".

Legends, in any race or country in the Western Continent at this moment, are also the existence of decision-making.

Moreover, in the First Age, there was only the difference between legends and demigods, and there had never been any other path other than the path to godhood, so naturally there was no concept of "throne boundary".

Therefore, strictly speaking, Char at this moment is just a legend.

It is a legend that goes further on the road of legend and accumulates for a longer period of time, comparable to that of mythical creatures.

And the legend in front of him died silently like this.

The reason for this phenomenon is actually easy to understand.

Just as the remnant soul of the Sun God said before, His personality is too strong, and now the blood of these elves is too dirty, and they have long lost the qualification to become vessels.

And when it involves such a person, the alternation of massive divinity and authority, there are naturally a lot of preparation steps involved.

If the will is forcibly descended without preparation, the body will naturally turn into a disposable consumable. After leaving, all the physical functions will collapse in an instant.

"However, at least you are much luckier than your remaining seven colleagues in the Council."

"Those unlucky ones are facing the magic of nuclear explosion right in the center. Even their bones will probably be sublimated into ashes, and nothing will be left."

"I just don't know if the Lock of Heaven and other holy relics are still there."

"It would be a pity if he was also sent away by a nuclear explosion magic."

"Forget about anything else, that Heavenly Lock is a sacred relic that can be used to attack divinity, so it shouldn't be that fragile and vulnerable."

Xia Ya sighed, gathered the scattered bones, and made a cross on his chest.

Then, from the pile of bones, several pieces of jewelry with extraordinary aura and a ring were taken away, which were full of mystery and seemed to be holy relics with a similar space storage effect.

Even though the two had a hostile relationship before, Xia Ya decided to give each other some respect even if they were dead.

After all, I also got myself a lot of gold coins, right?

Although the situation of the elves on the Lost Island is extremely embarrassing now, after all, there is a legacy of the entire elven royal court here.

As the elder of the council and the voice of the entire Elf clan on the Lost Island, this legendary elf's wealth is quite rich, and now it's all cheaper for Char.

Although Char now has several wealthy women, the entire White Tower and the entire Foresta Empire can be regarded as his backers. In a literal sense, he is as rich as any country.

But there is a difference between your wife's money and your own money.

How can a man not have his own private money?

Not to mention anything else, just the issue of dominance at night, Xia Ya simply couldn't bear it.

He put all the gains from picking up corpses into his space pocket and looked into the distance at the red-gold meteor that was getting closer and closer.

The next moment, Xia Ya's eyes moved slightly.

Because immediately after, he felt the depth of the World Tree fragment.

There is a certain lofty and profound will that is slowly waking up.

Obviously, the demise of the seven council elders also exceeded the expectations of the remnant soul of the Sun God who was sleeping among the fragments of the World Tree.

And after using the body of the legendary Elf as a carrier, he met Char for the first time.

He was concerned about this human being who came to the Lost Island inexplicably, especially the thing called magic hidden in him——

His interest has increased even more.

So much so that, at this moment, He was even willing to change the original plan of slow recovery.

At the risk of losing control, he forcibly awakens more power from the body sealed by the fragments of the World Tree.

Xia Ya felt the ripples of space rippling around him.

The next moment, the scenery around him took on a new look after a burst of distorted light.

The branches of the world that covered the sky and the sun disappeared.

Instead, there was a magnificent black iron palace.

This is the plane contained in the fragments of the World Tree.

It is also the sleeping place where the remaining soul of the Sun God is sealed.

…

Ten minutes ago, the tall tower in the center of the Elf King's Court.

When the hot white light dissipated.

The original magnificent elven tower was now only a desolate and dilapidated ruin.

Also, under the unparalleled light and heat, the long river of metal had been melted into liquid and was re-solidifying.

Among the huge ruins, there was only one golden elf left.

Except for the unhealed wounds left by the arrow, Hathaway was completely unscathed.

It was in sharp contrast to the surrounding council hall that was destroyed by the unparalleled destructive force, as well as the remaining council elders who were reduced to fly ash in the nuclear explosion, leaving not even a trace of residue.

The "Lock of Heaven" that lost its master's control relaxed and released the shackles of the Golden Elf.

Around her, the twisted space cracks slowly dissipated.

It was a protective magic called "Sky Realm" that she created herself.

It can distort the space around it and create a space barrier that isolates everything.

Unless it is an attack that also involves the laws of space, any pure physical damage cannot overcome the distorted space itself, even a nuclear explosion that destroys everything is no exception.

Relying on the magic she created, Hathaway made the forbidden spell "Nuclear Explosion", which was originally very demanding in terms of activation timing and could cause the caster and the opponent to die together if not careful, into something that can be used without much practicality. A limited-use ultimate.

According to the concept described by Char to her, wizards are also divided into many types.

Arcanist, war mage, classical wizard, prophetic sage, golem wizard, alchemist, necromancer...

Different schools of wizards will have different magical tendencies and expertise, specializing in different areas of magic.

It's like even if they are both elves, forest elves and moon elves have different elements and extraordinary abilities. Among wizards, the difference is fire mage and ice mage.

According to Char, there is only one magic field that Hathaway is good at——

null.

In other words, it is the "magic of the void".

And when Hathaway followed Char's instructions and actually started trying it herself, she discovered that——

Compared to those traditional elemental magics, it even stands to reason that as a golden elf, she should have relied on her racial talent to have additional metal magic.

Magic in the space field is indeed her real specialty.

Whether she is learning the arcane classics taught by Char, or creating new spells of her own, she has become much faster in the field of space, which can be said to be an innate talent.

This also makes Char's image in Hathaway's heart become much more mysterious and unpredictable.

It was just the first time they met, but she could see through the field of magic that she was good at at a glance... Of course she didn't know that someone was copying the gourd, and if she was wrong, it would be a ghost.

However, I just thought of Char.

In the golden elf's heart, the stinging feeling turned into a sharp steel knife, penetrating her heart.

The words of the sun elf elder before and the haggard figure of the young man in the illusory light curtain seemed to be still before his eyes.

"He is at the World Tree..."

"Also, the so-called "Lord"? "

She jerked off the chain of the Heavenly Lock.

The melodious chanting voice came out of the golden elf's mouth like mercury pouring down the ground.

A crack in space appeared in front of her eyes, and Hathaway took one step forward.

The girl's figure was swallowed up by the crack in space.

Immediately afterwards, her figure appeared outside the ruins of the tower, above the Elf King's Court.

"Hathaway. Dimension Walking"

At this moment, the entire Elf Royal Court below was in chaos.

No elf knew why such a drastic change occurred on the sacred and majestic tower that should have been the symbol of the entire elf court at the moment when the council meeting was taking place.

Fortunately, Hathaway's nuclear explosion magic was only used for the first time, so it was very unfamiliar, and the mysterious elven tower and council hall withstood most of the shock waves.

In addition, because the other seven council elders had discussed in advance to take action against Hathaway, out of secrecy and to maintain stability, they did not want the other elves in the royal court to know about the coup——

They used the council meeting as an excuse to disperse the remaining elves in the elven tower in advance.

Because of this, no other elves were affected except those seven unlucky ones.

As the only remaining elder in the council today.

At this moment, Hathaway should have immediately stepped forward to take charge of the situation and appease the elves in the royal court who were panicking due to this big change.

However, the golden elf at this moment has never had such thoughts.

She just continued to chant the ancient mantra, and the red-gold magic power surged from the star world, carrying her in the direction of the World Tree.

High in the sky, the biting storm blew away the golden elf's long hair, flying in the wind, and the white robes rustled.

Red-gold magic power surged around her, and her figure was sometimes solid and sometimes illusory.

Every time there was an alternation between illusion and reality, her body would teleport a long distance.

The Isle of the Lost is huge.

It is also quite far from the Elf King's Court to the World Tree in the center of the island.

However, in front of a legendary wizard who has mastered the "Magic of the Sky", the distance is only a blink of an eye.

soon--

The huge World Tree is already in sight.

And Hathaway, who has a high sensitivity to the rules of space, is also aware of the small world hidden among the branches of this huge world.

She took one step.

The next moment, the huge World Tree disappeared and was replaced by a magnificent palace.

The gray-white stone bricks, whether it is the surrounding walls or the huge pillars, are all made of pure black iron.

Threads of dark shadow lingered throughout the majestic palace.

There is no light of stars and moon outside the window.

This is a small world among the fragments of the World Tree. The star-like light created by Hathaway and Char cannot illuminate this place.

However, a thin layer of light shone in the hall, making the whole palace look gloomy and dim.

Hathaway saw no trace of any living thing in the hall. Only the ancient doors slowly opened, turning into deathly darkness, leading to the deepest part of the hall.

The open door seemed to be waiting for her arrival.

The golden elf's spiritual intuition flashed warning signs that she had never seen before, almost filling the sea of ​​her soul.

It was a foretelling of death.

Every ray of spirituality hinted to her that there was an unprecedented disaster lurking in this palace.

According to what the sun elves said before, what is sleeping in this may be the original creator.

That is the big taboo between life and death.

All living things have the instinct to survive, even beasts without intelligence will definitely follow their wildness and intuition and run away at this moment.

Every cell in his body is emitting a warning for the golden elf to escape from here.

However, Hathaway gritted her teeth and walked towards the deep darkness, against the survival instinct of the living body.

She knew that Xia Ya was inside.

The Sun Elf elders did not say what exactly Char would do after being taken to World Tree, or perhaps they were simply not qualified to know the inside story.

Maybe even during this time, Char had already been killed.

However, Hathaway still came.

Whether it's because of the seed of love that just sprouted in that girl's heart.

Or maybe it was because of the regret that almost swallowed up the sea of ​​her soul.

Obviously Char and the entire Lost Island have nothing to do with the entire elves.

However, because of his willful request, he entered the Lost Island and was dragged into the whirlpool of disaster.

At this moment, the so-called future of the elves was forgotten by Hathaway.

She just knew she had to come here.

Even if he has to pay for this, it may be the golden elf's own life.

snap——

snap——

The entire palace was silent, except for the sound of the Golden Elf's own footsteps.

After an unknown amount of time, the thin shadow dissipated, revealing layers of illusory steps.

There is also the gorgeous black iron-colored seat at the end of the steps.

On the black iron throne is an illusory majestic figure.

His face was so handsome that the elf blood was concentrated to the extreme. It was impossible to distinguish between male and female, and behind him were layers of illusory jet-black wings, just like the wings of a fallen angel.

On the forest white robe, there are golden silk threads, engraved with the unique texture of the ancient elf royal court.

Hathaway saw the figure on the black iron throne in front of her, from the scroll left in the royal library——

This is the elf king who should have died with the fall of the royal court.

No, if you think of the words of the sun elf elder again... then the existence in front of you can be said to be the elf king, or it can also be called the sun god, or the creator.

This is a great being who was worshiped by all spirits in the glorious era.

Logically speaking, whether it is as the king of the elves or as the creator, Hathaway should be respectful to the existence in front of him at this moment.

However, the golden elf girl's gaze never stopped at the black iron-colored throne.

Instead, he was fixed on the thin figure next to the Black Iron Throne.

It was a human boy with black hair and black eyes.

His hands were bound by black iron shackles that sealed the extraordinary.

Under the jet-black broken hair, the pair of black eyes that once fascinated Hathaway, as if they were reflecting the sea of ​​stars, have never been so dark as at this moment.

Teacher Xia Ya...

He is still alive.

The moment I saw the human boy in front of me...

The joy in the golden elf's heart washed away all the previous uneasiness, regret, and fear that came from spiritual intuition and life instinct.

Char, he is still alive.

Then everything can be redeemed.

As long as he defeats the guy in front of him who is suspected to be the remnant soul of the Sun God, and rescues Char...

"Hathaway..."

The young man's words with a slight sigh interrupted the golden elf's thoughts.

"You shouldn't be here."

Hathaway looked up blankly, but met Char's eyes.

Those dark eyes that were once as deep as the sea of ​​stars were now mixed with complex colors.

He just looked at the golden elf in front of him calmly, with sadness and reluctance in his eyes... but also the same attachment and tenderness that intoxicated the golden elf in the past.

besides--

That subtle determination.
